His explanation is better than the
Map. Here it is:


TO THE READER.
The above map explains itself


The idea of this map is not orig
inal with me, bu. is borrowed from
the Tribune and the other great
metropolitan journals.


1 claim no other merit for this
production (if may call it), than
that it is accurate. The main
blemish of the city paper maps Of
which it is an imitation, is, that in
them more attention seems paid to
artistic picturesqueness than geog-
raphical reliability.


Inasmuch as this is the first time
1 ever tried to draft and engrave q
II ap, or attempt anything in the
line Of art at all, the commenda-
| tons the work has received and
the admiration it has excited
among the people, have been very
grateful to my FEELINGS. And it is
touching to reflect that by far the
most enthusiastic Of these praises
have come from people who know
nothing at al about art.
BY an unimportant oversight I
have engraved the map SO that it
reads wrong end first, except to
,efthanded people. I forgot that
in order TO make it right in print
it should be drawn and engraved
upside down. However let the
student who desires to contem-
plate the map stand on his head
or hold it before her looking glass.
That will bring it right.
The reader will comprehend at
glance that that piece of river with
the High Brigde'' over it got left
out TO one side by reason OF slip of
the engraving tool which rendered
it necessary to change the entire
course of the river Rhine or else
spoil the map After having spent
two days in digging and gouging
at the map. would have changed
the course of the Atlantic Ocean
before I would have lost SO much
work.


I never had so much trouble
with anything in my life as I did
with this map. l had heaps Of
little Notifications scattered all
around Paris, at first, but every
Eow anG then nay instruments
would slip and fetch away whole
miles Of batteries and leave the
vicinity as clean as if the Prus-
slams had been there.


The reader will find it we'll to
frame this map for future refer
ence, so that it may aid in extend
ing popular Intelligence and dis
pelling the widespread ignorance

The bill that passed the Senate
several days ago, and is now pending
before the House, in regard to Coun-
ty government, provides that after
the 1st of January next each County
in the State shall have but three
Supervisors, who shall hold Office for
three years except upon the first
election, and who shall be residents
of different Townships, and be elect
ed by the voters of the whole County.
They are to meet five times per year,
and receive a per diem Of ST each,
and six cents mileage. In a County
of the size Of ours, they cannot draw
pay for over 80 days in the year.
The bill seems to be more carefully
considered than any Of its predeces-
sors; but the House may of course
modify it, or reject it entirely.

The murdcrOus assault upon Mr. Jesse L.
Savage, in New Haven, Conn, on Saturday,
proves to have been one Of the most diabol-
cal attempts at murder ever perpetratcd in
New England. 1t appears, according to the
New Haven Journal and Courier, that Rev


Mr Branch, pastor of the Reformed Church,
in passing the Office of DR. Nicoll discovered
man leaning against the fence post whom
he supposed to be intoxicated As he drew
nearer to him, he asked Mr. Branch to help
him home, to which he asscnted, asking him
at the same time if he was injured to which
Savage replied, II have been robbed" and
then spoke again and said, "Im mnrderoa ;
they've cut my throat" Mr. Branch then no
ticed that blood was flowing from the mans
throat. Medical assistance was immediately
summoned, and Mr. Savage, though weak
from the loss of blood, related that he was
returning home from the boat, upon which
he had come from New York, and was pass
ing through a narrow, dark street, when two
men passed him, and almost Immediately af-
ter third came up to him from behind, sez-
cd and cut him with knife across the throat,
and that the other two stepped up at the
same time and seized his arms. He was
then thrown to the ground and his pockets
riiled OF their contents They took from his
pocket $500 in money which he had on Sat-
urday afternoon drawn from the bank in New
York. Upon examination of the wounded
man it was found that the robbers had intlict-
cd two severe gashes across his throat, one
of which came within sixteenth of an inch
Of the jugular vein. A slight cut was found
in the back Of the neck, and three slight
wounds were found in the upper part of one
of his arms. Upon removing his clothing it
was ascertained that he had also received

very dangerous. From all evidence attain
able, it would appear that Mr. Savage had
made a most desperate struggle with the
three villains, who, for few hundred dol
lars, sought his life. At last accounts the
wounded man was in most critical condi-
tion, though it is possible that his strong
physical powers may carry him through and
ward off a fatal result. AS yet the perpetra-
tors of the crime have not been detected

AN AsroNIsIIED MINISTER. In a small
CITY, not far distance from the Club, " resides
a dentist named Brown. He received an or
der from his beloved pastor for Il set of false
teeth. The work was executed promptly and
the pet shepherd of his flock called in the an
pointed time to receive them. Brown fixed
them in his reverend customers mouth, when
the latter, stepping to the glass to see the ef-
feet, said slowly and distinctly :


Jesus Christ Jesus Christ"


Now Brown is more noted for his quick
ness OF temper and profanity than tor his
piety; and hearing his customer speak in
such n manner his ire was quickly aroused

The frequency with which "unfortu-
mates rashly importunate rush into
matrimony through the surreptitious
means of an elopement is becoming dig


nfed with the reputation of 'smsrtness. !"
1t is considered huge joke for young
lovers to practice on old folks. A Ger :
tain romance and daring is supposed to
be attached to eloping. The gallantry
and devotion Of the youngster, suffering
with his first attack of calf.love, is ex-
tolled, and the girls all think him fine
felow-s man of spirit. The giggling,
simpering young thing who steals out of
her fathers house md rides miles away,
often with mere boy, who is about as
capable of taking care of her as most
boys, thinks it splendid fun, and the
happy pair in their wild hunt for some
body to 90 before and tie knot with
tongues they can never undo with their
teeth, Imagine that in outwitting the old
man they are distinguishing themselves
but if these poor silly children only knew
what an example they are setting, and
how, instead of being happy they have
taken the first step to unhappiness, there
would be no more runaway matches. For
man to offer or tempt q girl to run
away with him is of itself q proof often of
his unworthiness, and but poor return
for her love; and for q girl to leave her
home clandestinely is in wretchedly bad
taste to say the least of it. A runaway
couple may be very interesting and ro-
mantle, but sober folks will think them
nair of fools.

being bog and cattle dealer, and goes
about contracting for live stock, and oc-

fails to be on hand when the time for pay

trading posts and orders supplies of goods
packed up, saying that he will call the next
day and pay for the articles and take them
away, but fails to keep his word The

The European mail of the 3lst of May, at
this port yesterday, supplies very interesting
exhibit Of the progress and tendency of Old
World affairs to that day. By special cor
respondence from Rome we have full report
Of the initiation and conduct of the latest
attempt at Italian revolution. The movement
was miserable farce, conceived and under
taken in parody Of the recent "risings" Of the
French s'reds." 1t was under the command of
male cook who had been employed in pre-
pairing the food of some Of the continental radi-
cal leaders, and who, having thrown aside his
apron and spoons, took to the task of toast
ing-or roasting, as it may be--the ruling
members of the illustrious house of Savoy.
His revolutionary dish wanted spice, and
appears to have been very sorry
hash. The North German government note
to Cardinal Antonelli on the subject
OF the coming proclamation Of Papal
infallibility and its probable consequences
appears, as will be seen, to have been an able,
temperate and Christian-lke doeument-a
state paper prepared in complete accordance,
both in spirit and tone, with Napoleon's mis-
sive on the same subject. Premier Gladstone
was vindicating the law against secret socie-
ties in Ireland, bench Of magistrates in the
North having summoned the Grand Master and
Secretary Of the Orange Society to produce
all the documents connected with that organ
ization in court for judicial examination. The
Royal Astronomical Society of England was
employed in making arrangements for the
despatch of the eclipse observation expedition
rom London. Thus, as usual, have religion
and politics, heaven and earth, the heavenly
bodies and carnal humanity been brought into
temporary union in the columns of the

The LAND GRABBERs-CUTTING Ir Too
FAT.-On Saturday last Senator Pomeroy
Gmmense on railroad land jobs) called up the
bill relating to the Central Division of the Union
Pacific Railroad, making land grant. Sena-
tor Sherman, on the spot, opposed the bill as
an extraordinary violation of the land grant
policy of Congress, which had always been the
reservation to the government of the alternate
sections but this bill proposed to give to one Of
the branches of the road concerned ne-half the
lands for ten miles in width on both sides of
the road for three hundred miles, and to the
other branch the other half of these lands,
thus leaving not solitary acre to the govern
ment in session along the road twenty miles
wide and three hundred miles long. This
demand is the height of impudence; but it
shows the degree of impudence to which a
compliant Congress has encouraged these rail-
way land grabbers.

Denmark, il appears, feels aggreved at the
discourteous indifference with which our SEN
ate has treated the negotiations for the pur-
chase of st. Thomas. AS our Executive
Department originally proposed the treaty and
urged Denmark to consent to it, rather against
her wishes than otherwise; and as the people
of st. Thomas voted rather enthusiastically in
favor Of the annexation; and as our govern
ment, in view of the dilatoriness Of the Senate,
asked for and obtained several extensions of
the time for exchanging rati6cations Of the
treaty; and as the Senate finally let the date
of the last extension 60 by in seeming igno
rance without any action in the matter, we
cannot deny that we have been discourteous
to friendly nation and a cordial well-wisher,
and that it is due to our dignity and to Den
marks wounded sensibiIities that we apollo
gize. The fact is that we are somewhat of .
boor in the society Of the well bred and high
born nations anyhow. We are disposed to pay
too little attention to the courteses due at
times, as much between nations as between
individuals, while, on the other hand, we are
also disposed, at times, to truckle too much to
other and less friendly nations of high and
naughty prestige. Both these faults are
inconsistent with the honest republican sim
plicity that should be ours. We can and
ought to be honest and candid in our foreign
policy, without being either boor or syco-
phaut

THE CooPERs IN PHILADELPHIA are on
strike, and numerous cooper shops, some of
them quite extensive establishments, have
been burned, the natural inference being that
the strikers were the incendiaries. If such is
actually the case it would appear that the
coopers on strike have lost all discretion in a
wild hope of vengeance. They certainly do
not expect to get the privileges they are
striking for any sooner by thus reducing the
number of shops where they could be en-
ployed and thus necessarily reducing the de-
mand for their labor.

s'Spotted Tair and his delegation of the Brule
tribe Of Sioux and Dacotahs, including Swift
Bear, Fast Bear, and Yellow Hair, reached this
city on Saturday last, and were 'put up" at the
Astor House. In the evening they were regaled
with the bewildering military spectacle at Nib
los, and they enjoyed 1t hugely. Yesterday
they were taken to our great Park, and to-day
they will probably 60 shopping. Red Cloud and
his party will leave Washington in few days,
and they will be brought here, notwithstand-
ing his protest against the route via New York
and his swish to go home by straight line"
The special object Of the government in bring
ing these Indians from the base of the Rocky
Mountains on this excursion, is to impress


them with the power of their Great Father and
his white children, and with the comforts and
advantages of civilized life; but this expert
ment from timep to time has been tried over
and over again with various tribes of our red


brethren, and never with much success. We
dare say, however, that even the intractable
Red Cloud and his party will be sufficiently i'm


pressed by the sights and wonders of this trip


to settle down quietly upon their reservation


and go to work; and we think, too, that Red


Clouds revelations Of the outrageous frauds


and atrocities practised upon him and his peo-


pie by rascally whites, will have good effect


In establishing henceforward something like


honest dealings with these Indians.


In fact the plain rhetoric of Red Cloud has


already affected the sensbilities of some mem


bers of Congress. Senator Morrill,, who has


charge Of the Indian Appropriation bill, called


upon hin yesterday And rather enthusiast
calIy sympathized with his wrongs and the
wrongs of his race. He even suggested that
if Red Cloud came North he would find
| multitudes of white friends who would take
him by the hand and stand by him and his


nation long after he had left, Red Cloud ap-
parently did not take to that advice very
cordially. He doesn't care much for this
lip service. He wants his lands, and
he probably compehended on this occa-
sion that Senator Morrill,, who was talking tc
him, was great chief of that very ''council'
that has been in the habit Of giving away his
lands to white spectators for song His big
Indian heart could not take sympathy from
any such source. Delegate Hooper, the Nor
mon, who was present at the conversation,
spoke good word for the Indians and said
the Mormons had never been troubled by
them. Red Cloud thanked him and said the


Mormons dealt fairly and talked straight with


his people. 1t may be that herein is the true


solution of the Indian problem after all.
