Indian Acjhncv, Gukat Siorx IIkmsh- vatioN, July 1.—“It ii n Imautlful morn ing; let us go out anil kill Homething.” “Oh, it's going to be n lovely day for the beef issue. I’m so glad,” says a young lady lit the breakfast table. Every one is ani mated and expectant. Thu Indians are decked out in their gayest Attire, and some of their costumes are pictorial enough. As we look about us after breakfast wo see the Indian women and girls harnessing their horses. Carriages are brought to the door for guests, and wo are soon all on our way to the government corral. There are hundreds of young women on horseback. The girls sit astride, the same as the men. Some of the belles are in costly apparel. I count more than fifty elk teeth on a large cape worn by a rare and radiant brown maiden. As each elk has just two teetli a whole herd must have been slaughtered to furnish the bravery of her attire. The corral is a large Htoekade in the middle of a plain, which slopes upward to low hills all around. Here are many hun dreds of cattle awaiting slaughter to furnish rations for the noble red men, their sqaaws and papooses, “the wards of the nation.” There are about 2000 Indians present. A largo proportion of the men are armed with carolnesor improved rifles. There is an army officer here from the nearest fort, to represent the government on the occasion. A brass band has come out from some railroad town to compli ment the ladies and frighten the already distracted cattle with the blare of their music. The entertainment opens with a popular air. The lailics applaud delicately, and the musicians bow their acknowledgements. Mounted cowboys enter the corral, spur their horHes among the cattle, and drjve groups of them, with shouts, yells and Mows, toward the chute leading to the scales, where they are weighed, a dozen at a time. Alter leaving I he scales in a nar rower part of the chute, each animal is branded with a hot iron, and passes on in to another divsion or department of the corral. This first brand shows that the animal lias been received from the con tractor. After all have passed through tills experience they are again driven into the chute, with the same accompaniment of yells and blows, and receive another brand. This is to identify the hide after it has been taken nil'. All this is but overture and prelude, but the curtain will soon rise and the play be gin. Ladies and visitors are assigned the best, points of view for the coining spec tacle,. Tin Indian wagons with the women and children, and the dusky equestriennes, press close together around the walls of the corral, 'flic Indian horse men arc drawn up in two long lines, form ing n lane from the’gate of the egress, far out on the plain. Their carbines gleam in the sunlight. 1 turn mid note the sweetness of the June morning, the beauty of I he cir cling hills, the flag of our country floating above the government buildings, and In the momentary busb,the gushing song ofa mea dow lark, far across the grass. Hundreds of Indian dogs troop about hungry, watchful and expectant. A tall Indian, with a voice like that of an oxhorter at un Arkansas camp meeting, climbs up to the top of the gate and shouts the names of the men who are to receive the cattle, as, one after an other, they are released to their doom. Tlie gate openH, and a gigantic steor leaps out, frightened and wild-eyed. Ho trots uncertainly down the lane of horsemen. The dogs fly nt him and he sets off on u gallop. Two Indians gallop after him mid everybody looks that way. But by this time another is out, and soon halt a dozen are raoiug in different directions, each followed by two or three mounted Indians. Soon a shot is beard, and then another, and the ladles strain their eves to see, but the steer gallops on. The ladies look a little disappointed. ‘‘They are go ing out of sight. Is that all it’s going to be?” llut wait. Mon shots, ana more; and now they come faster, like the omi nous, irregular, but increasing skirmish firing before a battle. Five or six of the cuttle go off together, Willi a dozen men pressing behind and at the side of tho fleeing group. A horseman tires and a steer stops so suddenly, head first, that lie turns a complete somersault, and the pony just behind, unable to stop, repeats the movement, tumbling over tlie prostrate beast and dismounts liis, fritter. Some of the cattle arc at first only slightly wounded, ol hers are crippled so that they cannot run, bul several shots me required to dispatch them. Now and then one turns in fury upon tiis pursuers, and the ponies swerve aside to avoid his charge. The ladies turn quickly from side to side to note the most interesting occurrences. The dying animals lie all about the plain. Some struggle long, getting up and falling again, and the Indians wait, warily till it seems safe to approach, for a mortally wounded beast will .sometimes make a plunge at bis tormentor. Now a hunted brute dashes madly among the crowd around the corral, the horses start and rear and the brown maidens scramble hastily on to tlie wagons. A large cow,shot through and through,comes Staggering up to the very walls of the “grand stand.” The Indians try to drive her away, hut she no longer heeds their yells and blows. She reels, braces herself, turns her great beseeching eyes up to the women above her, and falls at their very feet. Tlie Indian butcher appears, throws off his leggings and bestrides her with naked brown legs and thighs. He opens her throat with a short knife and cuts out tlie tongue. He pierces no artery or large vein, and the poor, tongucless beast dies slowly. She lifts up her head, stares around agaiii, and tosses about wearily in mute agony. The half-naked slaughterer goes on with his work, and the cow is partly sk inued some time before she dies. It is al! so near that the ladies have an excel lent opportunity to see every step of tlie process. As the carcases all about the plain are opened the work of the Indian women be gins. They attend to the “fifth quarter” of the beef, the entrails. They remind me of the witches in Macbeth. As wo drive out homeward, threading our way between the bloody groups around the flayed and dismembered beasts, many Indians are already beginning their feast. They are seated on tlie ground, eating the raw, blood-hot liver. Our host stops and buys a piece of liver from an Indian for our next morning s breakfast. As we go on again, a young lady to whom 1 had been intro duced at the grand stand asks me, “How did you enjoy the beef issue ?” The next day at the great government boarding school, the principal told us that Ms boys and girls bad behaved so well all through the term that lie meant to take them out in a body to see the beef issue as a reward for t heir good conduct. It is u brutal and brutalizing spectacle. Worried fo llcutli. The ups and downs of a business life kill off many men while yet they have years of . work left in them. There have, within the observation of the writer, occurred the preniature deaths of several very noted business men of Boston, who have died not of physical causes, but of over-meutai anxiety froni disappointed calculations, l he recent demise of a prominent com mission merchant was due to the con tinued pressure of liabilities honestly as- mmed, which he found Impossible to meet. I Another eminent merchant who once stood al the head of the dry goods trade in Boston, died from over-anxiety on account ■ of the depreciation in manufacturing in- I vestments, in which he was largely inter- | istcd. There are many such cases-more 1 than the public knows of. 1 PLATO, PAST AND PRESENT. i (oiiKiril I'lilIon.iilhT- Old TIhiukIiIs Will li flip .llodiTii Ones. Noiv York World. This morning was read a long and most interesting essay of Platonic Ideas and vi tal organization. The author, the eminent physiologist and philosopher, Dr. Edmund Montgomery, of Texas, was not present, and the paper was read with some Intro ductory remarks and a running comment ary by M r, Davidson. Beginning with a eulogy of Plato as the first great compre hensive philosopher, the writer proceeded to show that the problem which Plato sought to solve by meuus of his ideas had not yet been solved, being at present mainly ignored. That there is a unitary principle In every organism, a principle quite other than mere aggrega tion, is quite clear, and is admitted even by evolutionists. Evolution means a series of changes caused in a previously existing being. This is the true notion .of evolu tion, and would lead to a modified Platon ism if evolutionists only had the courage to bo true to thoir own principles. Their great error has been in trying to connect tiie evolution theory with the old aggre gation philosophy, which preceded it and which is its absolute contradiction. Ag gregation and evolution are entirely in compatible, and the attempt to combine them has led to the present confusion and deadlock in thought. What Plato, believ ing in the permanency of Bpecies. tried to explain by means of ideas, viz., tho exist ence of general notions in the mind prior to experience, Darwin has explained by means of evolution. Each of us comes into the world with “ fund of ideas inherited from the experi ence of past ages, and it is these plus our own experience that form the world in which each of us lives. Man’s world grows up with himself and depends upon the dif ferentiation of experience; but if the indi vidual were a mere aggregate such cumu lative and inherited experience would be impossible. There is, therefore, in all or ganization a permanent form or idea which evolves into ever higher and more con.- 1 [ilex activities, aud Is entirely independ- > cut for its existence of the matter with which it successively combines itself.lt wi s shown that this form, though never alto-I gether uncombined with matter, is yet so I independent of it Unit certain animals of I higher organization may be cut in slices, 1 and each slice will round itself into a I perfect whole. The ideal form of inner I activity does not cease to be complete i because the material correlate is defective, j Dr. Montgomery showed in a very amus ing way that in flssiparious animals there are no parents, no offspring and no death, 1 only parentless twins continually multi plying themselves without dying. lie pointed out that all generation is but n modification of the flissiparots. That in all cases an ideally organized portion of an organism, not a rib, however, is de- : Inched in order to form another organism the same eternally unfolding idea realizing itself in both. The lecture was one of the ablest and most interesting of tho course. It was listened to with profound attention. It will probably be printed in the Index. No I in in ii nil) mini Cholera. Dr. Hancock in the Globe-Democrat. It is just sixty-two years since I qualified to practice, and although I have seen many improvements in medicine and surgery during that time, I have learned that there Is no such a thing as a specific in medicine. The nearest to it is quinine for malaria, and even that isn’t altogether reliable. I have been through three cholera epi demics, one in Ohio in 1882, and the other two in St. Louis in 1849 and 1866. No amount of research has succeeded in un raveling the mystery concerning this ter rible scourge. In 1849 the population of St. Louis was about 60,000, one-third of whom got out of the city as speedily as possible. Contrary to the usual theory that extreme heat causes or expedites • uilera, the first eases were in Jan uary, and the lost in June. The victims died at the rate of about 250 a day. and the i doctors seldom bail an hour’s rest day or night. The cholera was Asiatic of‘the! worst type, and very few who were at tacked escaped. In one family of ten I seven died in one day, aud others were j only a little better oil’. The removal oftlie dead bodies was fearful work, and it had : often to be done in tlie night, although all kinds of vehicles were impressed into the 1 service. In I860 the sanitary condition of the city was much better, and the deaths ] were much less numerous. On some days j forty or fifty died and on others about'n hundred deaths were recorded. It has j been proved that there is no such tiling us . absolute, immunity from an epidemic of cholera, \huut Inelirialv-. Journal of Inebriety. Never contradict or attempt to reason , with an intoxicated man; tell him clearly ! and kindly what you wish him to do, auil then have power to compel obedience. This is an asylum axiom. Sneers and de- ! nunciations of the disease of inebriety and j persecutions of the facts are dangerous, for, , like dynamite, they will explode from I pressure and send their advocates into ob- , livlon. The defective memory of inebriates always leaves an impaired power to reason uorreetly as to the nature and character of acts, or to draw proper conclusions from the experiouoe ol the past. Tlie damage to the central brain regions in inebriety is clearly seen in the perverted sensations so often manifested in hyperiesthetic and amesthetio conditions of the skin, disorders of taste utnl the special senses. BLOOD AND MONEY. The blood of nu.n has much to do In shaping his actions during his pilgrimage through this troublesome world, regardless of the amount of present or expectant money in pocket or stored away in bunk. It is a conceded fact that we ap pear as our blood makes us, and the purer the blood, the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are: hence tlie oft-repeated interrogatory, “how is your blood ?” With pure streams of life- giving fluid coursing through our veins, bounding through our heart#-, and ploughing through our physical frame* 5 , our morals become better, our constitution stronger, our intellectual faculties more accute and grander, and men. women and children happier, healthier and more lovely. The unprecedented demand, the unparalleled curative powers, and the unmistakable proof from those of unimpeachable character and integrity, | point with an unerring finger to B. B. B.—Botanic j Blood Balm—as far the best, the cheapest, the ! quickest, and the grandest and most powerful | blood remedy ever before known to mortal man, j in the relief and positive cure of Scrofula.

Letters from #11 points where introduced are pouring in upon us, speaking in the loudest praise. Some say they receive more benefit from one bot tle of B. B. B. than they have from twenty, thirty and fifty, and even one, hundred bottles of a boasted decoction of inert and non-medicinal j roots, and branches of common forest trees.

Prince, living at 3-j West Fair street, ; Atlanta, Oa., has been troubled lor several ! months with an ugly form of catarrh, attended j with a copious and offensive discharge from both j nostrils. Her system became so affected and reduced that i she was confined to bed at my house for some j time, and received the attention of three j physicians, mdused a dozen bottles of an exten- j sively advertised blood remedy, all without the | least benefit. She finally commenced the use of B. B. B., with j a decided improvement at once, and when ten , bottles had been used, she was entirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh. It gave her an appetite, and increased her strength rapidly, and I cheerfully recommend it as a quick and cheap tonic and Blood Purifier. J. W. Gloer. Atlanta, January 10,1886. Policeman.
