Sunday morning sweet day to the chris
tian. I'ay abu-ed by making it of leal ob
ligation when it ought to stand upon a far
higher obligation the christian's love for it.
But those enemies to Christianity those
blunderers as fo tho spirit that animates!
Chri.-t the theologians, have sunk the "first
day of the week" to the level of the Jewish
Sabbath. They have made it a clay that mntt
be observed by infidel as well as christian,
and to, in their blind ignorance or the spirit
of Christ's teaching, they have desecrated it.
It is the day of christian rest, spite of theo
logical attacks upon it, and we may properly,
this morning, turn cur attention to a religious
subject. 1 ' licving that a religious subject is
not confined to this world, lot stretches on to
another how sacred, how awful, is such a
subjevt! We have discussed politics, trade,
fureixn war, principles of State and national
expediency, all the week, but now we think
or thu life to come; the immortality that
Christ brought to light, and we speak in view
of that immortality as he taught it. We do
not take the view of the thecl gians
and preacher. They are recreant to
one of the grandest truths chratianity
knows. The early christians loved the
thought of immortality. Hope, joy. exulta
tion and happiness were connected with it.
The preachers and theologians of to-day have
connected immorUIily with fear, dread, pun
ishment, suffering, brimstone, fire, hell.
Shamo to them! Net that these things are
not connected with the future, but that the
prevalent christian idea, soon after Christ's
day.was a happy, an exultant, a iioptiui i wi.
Now the preachers -d theologians live
mado the prevalent idea connected with im
mortality one of fear, which shows how they
have sunk into pitiful dejTad.d.4n, for the
belief in immortality i- full of b p- and soars
in glorious anticipate c-, abounding in exul
tation. With this expression as to the teach
ers of religion, who have fallen below the
lofty ideal of Christ, we can easily fall down
to Mr. Ingersoll, the blundering critic of
Christianity. lie is powerful only when he
attributes to the bible the wretched errors
and arrogant stupidities of the theologians.
He says tho bible caused the inquisition and
a thousand other atrocities, while the
creatures who committed those vil
lainies took advantage of the politi
cal position they held to forbid the
reading of the bible. That book was con
cealed, hidden, kept out of the way. The
priests knew that if the people read that
book they would see how falsehood was put
in the way of the charity and love of Christ.
Yet IogerBOll attributes what was done by
tho priest to the bible, which had to be hid to
make their crimes pass. Mr. Ingersoll in
this sliowa Lis shallowness, lie is, however,
doing good in bringing theologians to the
test, and so ho is helping the cause of Christ
by showing up the "Lord, Lord" creatures
whom Chrii.t never knew. Reading the
speeches of Ingerco'd, see one grand de
ficiency. He cannot distinguish the facts
revealed from the form in which they are
given. The chestnut grows in a rough burr,
therefore the chestnut is a pernicious fruit.
The man does not know whether there 1b a
God or not, or whether, if there is a God, he
occupies the relation of "our Father;"
whether there is a future life, or whether we
perish with the pig and the dog. Y'et he
proposes that we shall exchange
our knowledge for his ignorance
ia short, Christ's teachings for
shallow Ingersoll bosh. Thank you, Mr. In
gersoll, we can give you credit for your smart
ness, your powers of repartee, your tura for
ridicule, your wit (if irreveranceand ignorance
can be wit), but we will take none ofyour's
in our's, thank you. Yon are too superficial,
too much wanting in logic, too ad pavtandum,
too Fourth-of-July-cracker, with no LsaiLot
behind tho powder. Faine was too deficient
in profundity to do more than make a wave
on the surface, and Inger.oll is too "summer-
breezy" to do even that. No wLitecaps will
show on the sea the Ingersoll breath linger,
over; his effort is powerless and ill of odor,
Such is our judgment, but if we took up the
Ingersoll arguments, should we not be
"floored?" We are not theologians, , and we
do not like those dieguisera of truth, there
fore we have no hesitation in saying that we
smile at the foliy of the. peenhj who arr,r-it
the Iccersoil forgenes as genuine com. We
cannot go extensively into his crudities, al
though we tthscrt that they can easily be niet.
We will take kis assertion that the language
of the bible shows that t!i3 writer know noth
ing of tho real stellar system, uof Ling of
what geology has taught us; nothing of what
modern achievements of knowledge Lave
made clear to our understanding. We ac
knowledge that we are picking out of Mr.
Ingcrsoll's argument hat we please, but it
looks to ns as if we were taking an urgument
that is a favorite of his. If he stood beside
our desk at this moment, we would take this
or any other argument he preferred. We
take this, however. ICipasion in Genesis
rakiang in the Hebrew means a solid sub
stance beaten out, as copper is beatee intf?
sheets, and so en of other things. Tna
"beaten-ont" idea is exactly the Hebrew
notion, and Ingersoll is right, and so he is in
some similar statements. Pid the inspirer of
scripture, therefore, know uoiLin; beyond
that idea' Nothing of the expansive ah ?
Nothingof the blue void which no hand can
touch? If Mr. Ingersoll had understood his
subject, he would not have ventured on so
6iliy an assertion as to say that God, who
knows all that science eontains, would talk to
ignorant man, who knows nothing of sci
ence, in the language of science. Lot Mr,
Ingersoll learn Ashantee, and go to Africa;
will he begin to teach those ignoramuses of
science in tho language he understands, or in
the language they understand? Greek is
said to be one of tho most perfect languages;
if Colonel Ingersoll understands Greek, will
he speak to the J.shantee blacks in Ashantee
L or in Greek? If ho wants to teach them sci
ence, will he use a language consistent with
the Ashantee mode of thought, or wicii the
scientific language familiar to. the American
philosopher? The language of instruction
is not guaged by the knowledge of the
teacher, but by tho ignorance of the learner.
Clear as that fact if, this man that knows Letter
than the bible can teach him, has not been
aula to understand it, yet he can ask the
christian to give up his assurance of heaven,
bis rest in the consolation of religion, his
at-sured peace when confiding in "Oar Father
who is in heaven," for the abyss of Ingersoll
ignorance! We think Ingersoll is uninten
tionally doing good, as the Jews brought out
the loftiness and grandeur of Christ through
their contradiction, but he strikes us as be
ing one of thosti "smart" specimens of shal
lowness that "don't amount to much." If
wo should ever get something more profound,
more reasonable from his hand, we will give
him credit accordingly; at present he is only
at the outer port of scepticism and biblical
criticism, and throws his disc like an un
tutored pupil.

An incident of crossing the plains, in early
days, was told by a clever lady at the break
fast table one morning in 'Frisco. A Dutch
man and wre had traveled west end arrived
at Salt Lake, where they halted for a few
weeks. The Mormons got around the oid
Dutchman and coaxed him to join their
ranks. Aft. r retiring one night in their raa-vass-covered
wagon bd, the good Dutch
man broke the matter to his better half,
hinting to her that the Mormons told him
he had better "stay, settle among dem, and
take some snore vives." "How many vives
you tinks you vanti-" asked k'atbnna. The
Dutchman thought "five more would make a
half a dozen already," whereupon the old
wile got down her bodice, and slipped from

I.-mJun Tint': "A curious trial now pro
ceeding at Stockholm is txi-it'ng great at
ti nti'n in .Sweden. Miss llelga de la Braehe,
win alleges that she is the daughter of King
(e.i.tave IV. Adolphe of Sweden, has
brought an notion again? t King Oscar and
the fiscal ofl'.ce regarding the payment of an
e-idowment granted to toe plaintiff in 1SC1 by
the government, but which has been sup

plaintiff, ILomquist, at the Brat sitting hand
ed in a document in which he asked the
court to order that King Oscar und the fiscal
cilice ihouid, under pain of an execution, pay
Lis c'.iei.t the sum ot twenty seven thousand
and ei:hty-ono crowns, 88 ore. on account of
tht -e suppressed payment. Tne defendants
opposed the demand, on the ground that, in

sented hi-rseit t.i be. but was really a Miss
Auroia Horenhna Magnussen. In or-d-r
to rebut this assertion, the plaintiffs

tl.e d'-tendan's to bring into court a letter
Trom GasUv- IV, Adoiphe. to Charles XIV,
Johann. which was among the papers left by
O-c ir I. besides two reports under which

of t ii Deputies L'hr and Mankell, made in
lo the then minister for foreign affairs,
Count C. Wachtmeister, in consequence of
w Inch the annuity was increased to twenty
four hundred crowns. King Oscar had, im
mediately upon taking the reins of govern
ciT.r into his hands, prohibited the payment
rf t ii ' annuity. The court, after a short de
l.b.i aiion, refused the application, but came
to 1.0 decision upon the mam question, ad
journing the hearing to another sitting, in a

onhe matter."
Mormon Hyeterles.
Aooie Thompson, a shrewd lady, and con
versant with the tricks the Mormons carry
on behind the curtain, has the following in
the Salt Lnke Tribune in reference to certain
facts in tho initiation of Mrs. Owen Miles,
an Koglish lady recent'y victimized by the
unscrupulous saints: "When Caroline Owen
went t) the Endowment house she entered
at the north door and gave her name to the
ricorder. She then paesed inside to be
washed, taking off her clothes until she was
as naked as the hour she was born. She
was then washed lrom beadto foot; afterward
she was covered with oil and blessed by the
holy priestess; her head, ears, eyes, nose,
mouth, neck, arms, heart, breast, bn.ck and
all par's of her body anointed. She then
put on her new garments aud received her
new noma in a whisper by the officiating
priestess, the woman who lied so beautifully
in court. Passing along she came before the
Great Jehovah and Elohim, they being in
another room, and commenced reading the
ritunl of the order. 'Let us go down and
make man,' etc., which is all too tedious to
meatiou. Miss Owen passed cn from one
change to another, having her robes and her
apron on to appear before the master of
ceremonies to rtceive the oaths. Stand
ing straight, as shown by the elder, bringing
her right arm at an ac?lo,tbea placing it across
her throat as the terrible words were uttered
by the officiating rriest, then drawing and
c-Er.enaicg ner aim straigni cut and cringing
it back to a right angle, striking it straight
to the eartn, interpreting tne oaths as
Fooken. that her throat should be cut from
ear to ear, that her heart should be cut out
and that she be disembowelled and her body
be buried in the depths of the Bea, etc., if Bhe
s'.iould divulge anything pertaining to the
ceremonies performed iu that house. This is
not all the oat'us by a great deal. Miss Owen
then received the grips, signs, tokens, etc.
There are several of these which only the
faithful can understand. Miss Uwea then
passed on to taei other ''degrees, prayer, cir
cles, etc Passing onward and upward she
came to the veil or arch. lhiB being pre
vious to her marriage. John Miles was on
the inside of the veil or arch, Caroline on the
outside. There was only a sheet to separate
John from Caroline, and before Bhe
could eet throneh to where John was
she bad to put her foot to his foot, her

in her ear and told her the new name she had

what thatname is but John and Caroline, tie
then brought Caroline through the veil or
trh to ba married. Joseph F. Smith sat
immediately opposite at the table, John
stand at the noht and Caroline at the left.
After the usual questions were put and
answered the marriage was proceeded with
end finished. John and Caroline walking to
tba scaling room, where Joseph F. Smith sat
on the throne and later stood at the door.
Miss Owen walked around fo the north side
of (lie altar and Miller remained on the
south side. Joseph F. Smith proceeded with

proaching a Nevada mountain a low bushy
vowtU is seen, strangely black in aspect, as
though ii had been burned. This is a nut
pice forest, tha Lount('j;l orchard of the red
man. No slopa is too steep,' on too dry,
every situation seems to be gratefully tlioaen,
if only it be sufficiently rocky and firm to
afford secure anchorage for the tough, grasp
ing roots. It is a sturdy, thick-set little tree,
usually about fifteen feet high when full
grown, and about as Lroai as high, holding
its knotty branches well out in eveiy firec
tinn in stiff ilgicgs, but turning them grace
fully upward at the ends in rounded bosses.
It is pretty generally known that this tree
yields edible nuts, but their importance and
t-kcelien-js aa human food is infinitely greater
than is supposed. n fruitful seasons the pine

and ceicbrste (he harvest time with dancing
and feasting. Inasmuch " thecoueg require
two years to mature from the first apaa-rance
of the little led rosettes of the fertile flowers,
the scarcity tr abundance of the crop may be
predicted more than a yea ia advance.
Squirrels and worms and Clark crows make
haste to begin the harvest. The Indians
make ready their long beating-poles; baskets,
bags, ?ara, mats are gotten together. The
squaws, out amcr.g the settlers at service,
washing and drudging, tsisibje at the fami

their backs or balanced upon the saddle bow,

Justice Miller before the Slate bar associ
ation: "It requires all tbe veneration which
age inspires for this mode j trial by jury of
dispensing justice, and all that eminent men
have said of its value ir practice, to prevent
our natural reason from revolting against the
system, and especially some of its incidents.
If a cultivated Oriental were told tor the hrst
time that a nation, which claims to be in ad
vance of all others in its love of justice and
its inethoda cf enforcing it, required as one
of its fundamental principles of jurisprudence
that every controversy between individuals,
and every charge of crime against an of
fender, should be submitted to twelve men
without learning in tbe law, often without any
other learning, and that neither party to the
contest could prevail until all the twelve men
v ere ct one opinion in bis lavor, he would cer
tainly b3 amazed at the proposition. Nor
have tbe European nations differed much
with him in their estimate ot trial by jury.
It has been well understood and received the
careful consideration ol continental jurists
for a great many years, without being
adopted by any ct them, in the lorm that we
have it trom longland. iMatiy attempts have
been made to introduce it in some modified
shape, but I think it is safe to say that it has
not in its essential Anglo-Saxon feature met
the approval ol any people except those ot
that race. In the days when kings exercised
arbitrary power, the jury was. among tbe
sturdy, liberty-loving Eoglishmen, a valuable
barrier against oppression by the crown. But
ia this country, where the people are sov
ereign, the jury is but too otten the mere re
flection of popular impulse, and the safety of
an innocent man is more frequently found to
depend on tbe firmness of the judge than the
impartiality of the jury. Still it is probably
wise that no man shall be convicted of an in
famous crime until twelve fair-minded men
are convinced of his guilt. I am also forced
to admit, however, that even in civil cases
my experience as a lodge has beemmuch
more favorable to jury trials than it was as a
practitioner. And 1 am bound to say that
an intelligent and unprejudiced jury, when
such can be obtained, who are instructed in
the law with such clearness, precision and
brevity as will present their duty in bold re
lief, are rarely mistaken in regard to facts
which they are called upon to find."

Velio w."eve,
At a recent health conventiou, held in
Richmond, the following propositions were
voted on separately and adopted:
First rhe yellow-fever of 1873 was a
specific disease, not indigenous to or origin
ating spontaneously in the United States,
and its appearance in this country during
that year was due to specific, causes.
Second A quarantine, established with
such rigor and precision as to produce abso
lute non intercourse, will prevent the im
portation of the specific causes of yellow
fever. - Third It is the duty of the general gov
ernment to aid in the establishment of a
practical and proper quarantine by all the
means in its power.
Fourth It is the duty of the general gov
ernment to appoint a commission of experts
to make a thorough investigation into the
causes of yellow-fever end the best method
to prevent its introduction into this country,
and to make sucn a a appropriation as will
permit of securing the services of the best
men and best means for carrying out such
lpvejfi'ffatjniv- . .
Fifth 1 hat it is the duty of the genera' gov
ernment to invite foreign nations to co-operate
with it in the establishment of uniform
and effective international quarantine regu
lations. Sixth That whatever may be the perma
nent value of the quarantine, there is no
doubt of the importance and value of inter
nal sanitary measures in the prevention or
modification of epidemic yellow-fever, and
this association strongly urges upon State
and municipal authorities the great responsi
bility which rests opon them on this account,
at a t4n3 yfcjvn no disease is prevalent or
threatening.

The St. Louis Repuhliean gives the follow
ing explanation of the government specie
resumption, appointed by law to take place
January 1, 1S73: "It seems that the bank
ers, who surely opght to know better, will
nevsr learn tht 'resumption' means only the
Eayment of coin by the government to the
olders ofits notes, and that the banks don't
need coin after resumption any more than
they do now before resumption. If the legal
tender act were repealed or declared uncon
stitutional by tho supreme court, the case
would be dmereni ' but so long as that stands
as the imperative law Of the land, no bank
and no individual can be required to pay coin
any more than now. So long as greenbacks
remain in circulation there is no possible rea
son why coin should be used, and there is no
reason to expect that it will be used to any
great extant, for the paper currency will ba
infinitely more preferable in all erdinaiy
tranaa&tiops. Jf the legal-tender character
of tbe treasury notes teasea on the first of
January, there would be some excuse for the
banks wanting to have a hoard of coin on
hand and betraying anxiety about the part
they will play in resumption. As it is, re
sumption means absolutely nothing but that
acyoody wi,o has Pfty dollars or more In
greenbacks can go" to the sub-trpnury in
New York, and nowhere else, and get gold
or silver dollars, according as the government
prefers, for paper money. That is all there
is in resumption, and it is very different from
whai, the general impression is it will be. It
should bs said, however, that some reports
from Washington indicate ikaf Mr. Sherman
intends to make some regufcuious whicu will
extend the sphere of refine pticp. It is said
he will authorize all the assistant-treasurers
to redeem legal-tenders in coin drafts on New
York. That he has power to make such a
regulation, or that the government can afford
to supfdast the express companies and make
transfers ot tuniii to New York, is not very
clear."

city ot Oneida has taken a short jump of only
twenty-two miles. Its IhsI situation was
upon the eastern bord-r of the bannock res
ervation, aud it was intended by the railroad
company that it sliou'd make a flying leap
across the forbidden ground to tne banKs 01
the Snake river. Bat in this was not prac
ticable before the winter might set in, a com-promis-e
was made with the Indian agency,
whereby no liquor was to be sold, and so the
town was permitted to make a tempoiary
landing on this nominal homo cf the red--skins.
Of CDtirse, then, there aie 110 "ua

and what ii a railror.d town or any other
town in this western country withjut them

THE 8 ALT LAKE VALLEY.
All the noise, bustle, snap-crack and dfyil-may-care
ex'-iiiaretion that pervaded Oneida
by night and day are consequently w an tine
ia this new settlement of B p.ck' Beck. Th;
coaches and wagons are drawn up nt the sta
tion to receive their passengers aud freigh,'.
They earn their money, but it seems to utl'rd
no p leasure, for they come and go like iiineol
processions, mourning because whisky is ntt.
Nevertheless, I apprehend that the rca! bnn
cess ot the country doei not sutler by the
deprivation. Every step that is gained in
the diieetion nt Montana is a step leailicg to
the comfort of individuals and the prospe-ity
oT the nation. The extension through Mush
valley winds along on a k-vel surface,
smoothed out by naturo among great bowl
ders of lava, v.-'.iicb, if continuous, would have
almost defied engineering skill, giant-powdtr
and m'Bey. B.-fore ve come to this slisht'y
downward slope, we have ascended until we
passed throuah a narrow gateway, whose
buttrf tser.at the limit ofencirc'icg mountains,
stand perpendicularly tut a few tett on eiiht r
side of the track. In 1 emote ages this must
have been the northern boundaiyof the tiJ
Salt hike, which has now receiled iu n son! w'
erly direction more than a hundred miles. I re
ciseiy in this gateway the water sprin.es now

river, ur.d thence throueh the Columbia to
the Pacific m the chancel forced by tbe dis
ruption, and tbe otheis seeking the gradually

flow of tho water, bejjin at lbe.se encirccus
gate-posts and keep their exact line of alti

Greap Salt Lake, being a saline deposit of
ninety miles long and fe-ity miles wide, was

a few centuries and then become dry a;;ain,
the people of a future age may wonder who
dropped this big gridiron in the basin. And
yet our eastern friends seem to know as Htt:e
about these great railroad enterprises of the
west as may cjme to the knowledge of our
imaginary descendant's. Their stocks and
bonds are not for sale in tbe gambling mar
ket, but are owned chiefly by the Mormon
people, who manage their property economi
cally and profitably to themselves in opening
up this great agricultural arid mining coun
try, A few miles beyond the little station of
Black Rock, the Marsh valley spread out
upon tho rich and extensive plains of Snake,
river. Here is an unlimited ran go of pas
turage, and for a hundred miles the road
will run through what ia to some extent a
firming land of tho Indians, which, vhdi il
is stolen from them after its valu-j is ascer
tained, will be peopled by settlers. Almost
on the line, too, are tl.e new gold mines of
Lost river, to which a large emigration is an
ticipated in the spring. The especial "Iject
of my visit to Black Rock was to Bid ilr.
Danilsjn, the Indian agent. While at
Soda Springs during the last three months
we had seen many of tho Indians. Ihej
are scattered in the summer season
through all the region bordering on their res
et vation, to which they generally relura in
the winter to live upon the crumbs that fall
from the government table. Now if is a fa;-,
attribute it to what cause we may, that there
is not the slightest danger to life or property
from Indians in Mormon settlements, (ten
tiles say that this safety arises from the j int
hatred of Mormons and Indians of the .ov-
o..ub.t. HwwMMMy - Mad I bplieve thtim,
because I am a witness of its truth that it is
because their people never cheat the Indie r.s,
and neverrefuse them food. At any rate, I feif
perfectly safe, even when mounted or, a good
horse, and with a good gun most desiti-.bie
of all property among the many Indians we
met piiles away from the village. These
liannocks, whose tribe was on the warpath
at the north, never molested us. They came
to our doer with game, fish and skir.s, for
which we "swapped" with them if we had
occasion for such thinps. It not, ve gavo
them bread, meat and coffee. We never
locked our doors against Indians, but we
slept at night w.th loaded guns by our bed
sides, in anticipation ol &
possible visit from
white road agents.
A BANNOCK WAIL.
From those of tbe Bannocks who could
speak English we beard tbe same universal
tale of woe. How I wish that cue eloquent
old man could nave'sorae useless politician's
half hour on the door of congress! Ke. did
not talk from a rostrum or a pulpit in five
periods of rhetoric, but mounted cn a sorry
pony, whose drcoiug head seemed lo be
bowed down in sympathy with his master's
vrief, he told of the wronsja of hia people.
"Indian kill 'em two white men 'c-aue white
men steal 'era squaw. Spose ladian steal
white man squaw'? White man 110 kill In
dian ? So white man clean 'em out all In
dian! steal 'em land, steal 'em squaw, steal
'em horse, cheat 'em Indian, starve 'em In
dian, kill 'em Indian! All right; Indian
die!" And suiting tuei action to the word
the old man rolled off upon tho ground,
folded his arms across his breast in imitation
of death as he added, "IJeap happy now!"
GOVEBN'MEN'T HATIOSS AMD (JOVEUXM!!ST
RELIGION.
They were loud in their complaints agamst
the Indian agent, and many of the gel-tiers
seemed to think they had causa. They said
that in winter they had scanty food in the
reservation, and in sumuier were driven off
to get their own subsistence without powder
or shot. It was intimated that the agent
drew their rations in the meantime for his
own profit. When I caui3 to call up on Mr.
JJanilson here, I frankly told him waat was
said of him by the Indians, and by the set
tlers who are obliged to feed the Indians,
who would otherwise starve. " It is not the
first time that I have heard these stories,"
said Mr. Danilson, " and I am sorry to say
that there is some truth in them, only they
unfortunately accuse the wrong party. It is
congress that is to blame for making in
sufficient appropriations. " In a long con
versation with Mr. Danilson some curious
developments came out touching the philan
thropic policy of the government, which acta
like a mother-in-lawin the attempts to make
people happy in her own way. The religious
welfare of the Indians is impartially cared
for by allotting the reservations among tho
different sects. Thoso Shoshones and Ban
nocks, of whom there are one thousand of the
former and bix hundred of tho latter, are
turned over to the Methodists, the agent
forcibly remarking that he "would be d d
if anybody but a Methodist should preach
to them, for it was the order." At the same
time he obsetvea tuat an ndmu had no idea
of religion, any way, and government didn't
do this with the expectation of converting
them; it was only to keep the churches from
quarreling. In a temporal way it desires to
civilize the wild Bannock, aud this is the in
genious plan it adopts to make him a farmer.
Vyheri the spring opens every Indian who
w'ill work on the land has Lis rations contiii
ued that is, the ratio of the rations that the
agent has been able to serve out. Then, these
Indians who do cot choose to be farmers ate
turned loose to hunt upon tuo reservation
whence all the game has been killed off by
the emigrant and cattle-trains, or to search
for it where they can. And this hunting is
to be done without powder cr shot. To sell
either to them is a penal offense. Thin is
simply turning them over to the charity of
tbe settlers, who are themselves poor, but
who are prompted by policy, as well aa hu
manity, to see that they do not suffer for
want of food, "la fact, " said Mr. Dauilson,
"the amount of rations allowed 07 govern
ment ia bo miserably small that most of tbe
Indians must be driven oft for the greater
Fart of the year, or all of them would 6tarve.
f I divided equally what I have it would not
amount in value to Sve cents per head daily."
By dint of teaching Indiana la this novel
way to become farmers, one hun
dred and twenty-five families have boon
forced to cultivate some of thu r.ch
bottom land on the linake river; but from all
accounts the products of their farms docs not
much exceed ihe government stipend of five
cents per day to each individual working
upon them. Upon askirg Mr. Danilson
what he thought of the proposition to turn
the management of the Indians over to tha
army, he replied that while the Indian
agents were tbe Lost civilizenij the officers of
the army could undoubtedly maintain better
order and might entirely avoid war and raid
ing if they were allowed to feed and clothe
the Indians comfortably, but that neither
civilian or soldier could eep them quiet in
any other way. I am more than ever con
vinced by this interview that the civilization
and conversion of savages is of smalt ac
count, even if practicable, in comparison
with fslj stomachs for them and the safety
to white men that would result from placing
all these tribes under the absolute control of
the army, which should be sustained in its
duties by sufficient appropriations, on the
principle that feeding is infinitely cheaper
than fighting. And this absolute control
should extend to the white population on the
borders of the reservation, so LLat in t.11 dif
ficulties between the races prompt and even
handed justice should be meted oat.
The other night, during the performance
of Ilamlet at the Fifth Avenue theater, the
graveyard scene was in progress, and every
one waa wrapped in melancholy. "Hamlet"
and "Horatio'' stood a te gloomy churchyard

at the Jlnemy Letter from
General H. 1. Ktarxl.
Cblcngo Tribune.
Foht Li.NiOLV, D. T., November 17.
Having noticed in the papers cf the last few
days various and confradicto.y statements
concerning the deilh of M, jor General Iteno,
at the bt'ile of South mountain, I deem it a
matter of duty, not only in Ihe inteiest ot
truth, but because General K-no was a class
mate and warm personal Iriend of mine, to
give to the public a corrtet and circumstan
tial account of Lis death. Of the statements
which I have seen thus far, that of General
J. D. Cox is the nearest correct; but yet he
errs iu saying that General Keuo was killed
by a shot from the enemy s skirmishers. Gen
eral Ueno arrived at my position 00 the crest
of the moun-'am between subset and dark;
the battle Lad then viitea'ly ceased, although
there was still some desultory tiring, and I
bad turned
l'ureli s battery and a
section of
Captain
battery
Cook's Eighth
Massachusetts
upon tbe en-
emy moving
airainst
Hocker's column,
ridge north of tbe
then pushing
up the
Uagerstown road. It was whilst directing
this Sre that General Ueno arrived, and,
after remaining some fifteen or twenty min
utes, he mounted his horse w:th the (ap
parent) intention of returning to Lis own
headquarters. Instead, however, ot de
scending the hill directly, he crossed tbe
road and entered a wood occupied by a por
tion ot my division (a Massachusetts regi
ment, I think), and, unfortunately, he en
tered lust in front of the line. At that mo
ment a volley was fired by the enemy from a
wood beyond an open space ol tour or tve
bundled yards which lay between tbe op
posing lines, a kind of parting volley, for they
bred but once, and had entirely disappeared
from the field when I arrived shortly after
with a section of artillery. In the meantime
the troops were resting after their hard day's
work; but that volley, so sudden and so un
expected, brought them to their feet, and
caused a good deal of unnecessary and ran
dom firing; and it was then that one of my
staff (either Captain Mighels or Captain
Rawolie, I think the former) noticed that
General Reno was reeling in his saddle, and,
hastening to h;3 assistance, had bim t.'.ktn
from bis horse and carried back to the bat
tery. On seeing me, he said, "Sam, I'm a
dead mail." I said something fo the tftVct
that I hoped not, and that he would soon be
as well as ever; but he seemed to realize the
true character of bis wound better
than I, and only repeated, "I'm
a dead man." He was then taken
toward the hospital, which was near by, but
ho died before reaching it. A caretul exami
ratiou of the wound was made by Surgeon
Cutter, who had belonged to Ihe general's
staff, and also (I think) by Surgeon A. T.
Watson, medical director of my division.
The result of this examination left no doubt
as to the tact that the bullet had enter ed
from the rear, and, passing through a minia
ture picture of Mrs. Reno, which was iu bis
watch-fob, had emerged from the front. On
this point I remember distinctly that Surgeon
Cutter (if not Surgeon Watson also), was
decided in his opinion that the shot was au
accidental one from our own troops, and de
livered near at hand, indeed, General Reno
was himself aware of this melancholy fact,
and referred to it in feeling terms when be
ing taken from his horse, as the officr be
fore mentioned reported at the time. Such,
in short, is the Ead stoiy of the death of the
trallant and chivalrous Jesse L. Reno, whose
last words ere: "I can be no longer with
my men; let them know that I will still ba
with them in spirit." Very respectfully,
your obedient servant, 8. r. stcrgis,
Colonel Seventh Cavalry, Erevtt Mnjor-Uenerul.

L.lfe of a Woman Who Kama
Jler Bread as a Clerk.
New York Sun: "TLe fact is that all mu
sical instruments are to be brought in for the
service of the Lord," said Mr. Talmage, yes
teiday morning just before Mr. Arbuckle
pealed form a sonorous Ave Maria, and Mr.
Morgan executed a fantasia that required all
the organ stops and the bell chimes. The
text waa from Luke:
" A certain man went down from Jerusa
lem to Jericho and fell among thieves, which
stripped him ot his raiment, and wounded
him, and departed, leaving bim half dead."
" 'Give me two stout detectives for this
night's work,' I said to the chief official;
'men who not only look muscular, but who
are musclar;' and I said to the detectives,
'Have you loaded pistols and clubs? Show
me crime! Show me crime! Show me the
worst class of people to be saved by the pow
er of Christ's gospel.' The officer proposed I
should take a disguise lest 1 should be as
saulted. I answered, 'No, I am going to
take the risk.'
"People spoke to me, 'Why do you not
look after the criminal classes of Brooklyn?'
I answer it was not for lack of materia'.
There is every kind cf crime in Brooklyn,
from manslaughter to a chicken thief.
Laughter. J I do not know that there is any
place in the land where you can more easily
get your pecket picked, your house burglar
iss?d, your signature counterfeited, or your
estate swindled than ia Brooklyn. But the
great depot of crime for this cluster of cities
is New York."
Mr. Talmage spoke of the respect which
crime pays to law, and told how Inspector
Murray, although a man of comparatively
slight stature, sometimes single-handed ar
rests four or five desperadoes, all because he
is backed up by omnipotent justice.
Mr. Talmage then described a bar-room in
to which the officers took him. The officers
told him wonderful stories of the desperate
men at the different tables. The preacher
walked from one end of the pulpit to the
other, pointing out imaginary tables and de
scribing the different groups of criminals
whispering and concocting dreadful crimes.
"Here are men talking over last night's
exploits. They drink, but rot so as to be
come unconscious. They keep the eyes clear
and the hands steady for the night's work.
They tell how they escaped by tho basement
door, or the second story how the nullet
grazed their heads I What is this bandaged
hand ? That was cut by window-glass as
the burglar thrust his hand through the
fastening. How did that man lose his eye?
It was destroyed by the premature flash of
gunpowder in the store lock."
"What, are those men planning at the
other tabie? They are in collusion with a
servant girl to leave one of the back windows
unfastened. They know the time when the
wealthy man will leave his place of dissipa
tion and start for home, and they intend to
lie in wait to bring him down with a slung
shot! Who knows how many false keys,
brass knuukles and revolvers are here?
"Ruiu tLey must have, to prepare them
for murder. Not ordinary rum, but rum
poisoned futir times. First, by the manufac
turer; second, by the wholesale dealer; third,
by tne retail dealer, and fourth, by the sa
loon keeper. These men calculate to the
quarter of a glass how much to take for their
work. They must not take a drop too much!
"There are twenty-three or twenty-four
hundred of these professional criminals in
this cluster of cities. They are as thoroughly
trained in crime as for a good purpose medi
cal colleges train doctors, law colleges train
lawyers, theological colleges train clergymen.
They have gone through tho freshman, soph
omore, junior and senior classes, and gradu
ated with a diploma signed by all the faculty
of darkness. Applause.
"These men are no unskillful murderers,
plunderers or blackmailers. They must have
something difficult to do; something of peril;
some chance lor bravado. There are about
sixty prcfesssonal bank robbers, who will get
concealed in a bank and spring out" Mr.
Talmage sprang out "at the watchman, se
cure him and examine the cashier's books at
their leisure, to see whether he keeps his ac
counts correctly. Laughter.
"Here aie the men who steal canceled
checks and practice on a man's signature un
til they get ono as perfect as the forgery of
C. Yandetbilt's signature in 1S70, on which
seventy-five thousand dollars was paid at
sight.
"Here are the pickpockets, six hundred of
them. They sit beside you in the stage and
pass your fare. They help you look ever the
goods when you are shopping. They weep
beside you at the funeral. They sometimes
bowtheir heads beside you in the house of
God. They do their work with such adroit
ness that your affliction at the loss i3 soft
ened by your admiration at the skill of the
operation. Laughter. The most skillful ot
these pickpockets are women. Some of the
pickpockets take the garb of clergymen and
look like doctors of divinity." Mr. Talmage
simulated a prim D.D.. "They dress with
white cravats and look as though they were
about to pronounce the benediction, and al!
the while they will be watching where your
portmonnaie is." Lioghter.
Mr. Talmage described the shoplifters
exquisite ladies dropping goods into croco
dile peckets large enough to swallow every
thing, and the description cf the crocodile
pockets was bo vivid that the congregation
laughed. Then he described the thieves who
break the windows of jewelry stores, run off
a block, turn around and look innocent, and
join in the crowd, crying lustly, "Stop thief."
I Laughter. I
"Do these men accumulate much? No,
moat of it iroes to the receiver of tbe Rtolen
crooda. Jf they iet fifty thousand dollars
they live poor and die poor.
"A gentleman sitting in this assemblage,"
Mr. Talmago continued, "this morning told
me thai an employer said to a young woman
in his store, Yr,u must dress better.' She
said: 'How can I on six dollars a week? I
pay four dollars for board, and have only two
dollars a week for clothes and car-fare.' The
employer replied: 'You must get it in some
other way.' I do not know how that incident
affects jou, but when it was told to me it
made my blood tingle; every drop of it, from
scalp to heel, tingled with indignation."

Meteoric (old.
Galveston ( Texas) Neics: "The remark
able specimen ot meteoric iron, resembling
steel, picked up in the Mohan dessert and
carried to Fort Yuma, a short time ago, is
thus described: 'It weighs about a pound,
and carries free gold, of which nearly a dol
lar is on the surface. It is not magnetic,
and has successfully resisted simple and com
pound bp.ths of acid. In this respect it re
sembles specular iron, but in no othej. One
of its surfaces shows a fracture that reveals
a cryslaline structure, the color of which is a
steel gray, tinged with yellow. It has de
fied tne best cold chisels in the blacksmith
shop, and has not broken or chipped under
heavy blows. If its composition can be imi
tated it will produce the hardest and tough
est alloy known.' "
SoMECninamen in San Francisco are great
ly troubled because, a few days ago, when
they unearthed the dead body of one of their
compatriots, intending to take it back to the
Celestial kingdom, whither all good China
men long to go when they die, they found
tb.9 bedy turned to stone. The freight on
th'? body will be as heavy as the body itself.
aud therefore the Chinamen dislike the
thought of paving the expenses as much as
leaving the petrifaction in this country to
adorn the collections ol a 1 ankee showman
If the Celestials were chemists they might
easily settle the matter by remembering that
if their friend is really petrified they can
never hope to find his body again, and all
that they csn send back home is no more his
"remains" than the Cardiff Giant was the
sad relic of anybody. The flesh has gone,
and "stone" baa taken its place.
