The Boston Courier says: We are
informed by the daily press that "the
Indians Of tue plains will not take
scalps from the heads VI negro soldiers
killed in battle"


Is not this a fragrant violation of the
spirit of the civil rights bill, OF the
new amendments to the Constitution,
and of the reconstruction policy Of
Congress


This is the crowning insult to our
colored citizens.


Shall the redskins be allowed thus
to make distinctions on account of race
or color2
When the colored troops fight brave
", may those untaxcd Indians scorn
their scalps, as being no trophy worth
the taking OH


This contemptuous treatment of the
black man by the red man is not to be
borne.


Senator Sumner must attend to this.


He must prepare resolutions.


He must illuminate speeches against
the noble red man Of the forest, who,
when on the war path, dares to show q
savage disrepecs to wool!


He has abolished the word "white"
in the District Of Columbia, let him
abolish the word "black" on the plains.


Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaXed red skin says


ugh, big Indian no scalp niger"
somebody shall shoot him on the spot.


1t is not because OF the difficulty Of
taking OF the colorcd mans scalp.


No such thing.


Indians scalp very short-haired
white soldiers,


1ti is their contempt for the negro as
an inferior race.


They must be taught better.


Here is missionary work TO do.


And new stipulation should be
made III all Indian treaties, that no dis
tinction Of race or color shall be made
with the scalpins knife.


The insult is too cutting.

A large portion of those who own


harness and carriages either through


ignorance or care!essness, pay so little


attention to their preservation that in
few months they generally look soil
ed and old. If proper care is taken
this may be avoided. The principal
difficulty results from allowing the
mud to remain on for a long time or
from the manner in washing it off, and
we will give few hints about keep
ing harness and carriages in good order


Those who have the care of harness


need not be troubled to prevent it from


getting wet, for leather, if in good con


diton, is seldom injured by water


Care should be taken however to hang
up the harness and not allow it to be
thrown into heap on floor, to lie and
mould, instead of drying of.


The leather should be kept fairly oil
ed, bu. the harness should first be taken
apart and washed with soft water, and
the oil may be rubbed in while the lcati-
er is moist, care being taken that the
application is thoroughly ma lie. For
this purpose meats foot oil is consider
ed the best. If the harness also needs
blaCking little lamp black should be
added to the oil, and the rubbing should
be continued until white cloth may
be used in wiping ofthe harness with
out being soiled Leather varnish should
never be- used Oh harness. In cleaning
the plating, rotten stoae or whiting may
be used, but generally an occasional
rubbing off with woolen cloth will be
all that is necessary.


The first thing to remember in clean
ing carriage is that the mud which
may accumulate is not to be tsken of
by rubbing if it is dry, (and it should
never be allowed to become so if it is
possible to prevent it, } soak it well and
let it get soft, so that by throwing on
water it will run off. After the carriage
has thus been thoroughly rinsed of,
and all the corners cleaned out, the
work may be finished with a pail Of
clean cold water and good sponge
if the sponge is not clean will be likely
to scratch the palnt.-Aiter washing a
piece of chamOis skin should be used
to rub all the paint and polished work
until it is thoroughly dry. 1t is hardly |
necessary to say that no one who cares
at all Tor q nice looking carriage will
ever leave dirt in the corners.


There need be no scar of washing a
carriage too often; if washed every
time it is run out, and dried well with
a chamois, there will generally be less
trouble about the cracking of paint
But the care Of a carriage does not end
with the washing A suitable room to
keep it in is always very important
A coach house that is
not properly ventilated, or in o damp
place, where steam Of any kind passes
it, will, in short time, furnish
he opportunity for destroying the best
painted carriage ever, made, in these

Two great parties this year present
themselves. Let us compare them.
On the one side we find party
whose only principles during the
war were, first to gain Office, and
second to favor rebels, and which
indeed has changed but little since
then; a party which in Massachusetts
proclaims one set of doctrines and in
New York another; which in one
State nOminates man holding GER
tain political views, and in another
State puts at the head Of its ticket a
man with views entirely different; a
party which as whole is pledged
only to national dishonesty and OPP
position to progress-an organization
already shattered and abandoned in
the Southern States, where its rulers
and leaders live, where it now seeks
to hide its feeble head under feignod
names, soliciting the votes of honest
men by calling itself conservative
Republican," party advocating no
one greatand honest principle, bound
by no great tie of honor, but only
keeping its shattered self together by
strenuous effort in those States where
it has not already fallen and crum-
bled to decay.


Un the other hand we see an organ
ization which, in spite Of foes without
and traitor, within, defended our
country, our Government and our
institutions throughout four long
years of terrible war, and since then
has prosperously guided the ship Of
State through all the breakers and
pillows and dangers following the
great tempest, and which now holds
power and place not only in law and
fact but in the hearts of the whole
people; party which in its short
career has saved the nation from
disruption, given freedom to a race
of men, spanned our Continent with
iron rails, and is now, by the officers
it has chosen, administering the Gov
ernment with strength, honor and
economy. Is it not an honor to the
American people that they have
formed and continued such an organ
ization?


And between these two parties we
are called now to choose. If our
sympathies are with the party Of

method Of telling the tine OF day OF night
which we copy for the benefit of those who
wish to try the experiment:

placed your elbow on the table, hold the
thread between your thumb and torennger.
and allow the shilling to hang in the centre OF
glass tumbler. The pulse will Immediately
cause the shilling to vibrate like pendulum,
and the vibrations will increase until the shll-
ling strikes the side of the glass and suppos-
ing the time OF the experiment be at the hour
oil seven or halfpast seven, the pendulum will
strike the glass seven times and then lose It's
momentum and return TO the centre; II you


hold the thread sufficient length of time the
effect will be repeated not until sufficient
| length of time has elapsed to convince you
that the experiment is complete. We need


not add that the thread must be held with 6


steady hand, otherwise the vibration motion


would be counteracted. At whatever hour O


the day or night the experiment Is made, the
| coincidence will be the same.
