ThE Sioux delegation of Indians,
hcoiled by Spotted Tail and Red
Cloud, have arrived in Washington,
in order to negotiate for the salo of
the Black Hills. Lo! the poor In

to us.
On the 19th Inst., one-eighth of a
million dollars in value wus seized by
the Government, principally consist

and a wagon wero seized in Tennes

Michigan keeps her State Prison
convicts at the rate of 121 c. a day for
rations. That Is four cents per meal.
We don’t suppose this affords fare,
however, equal to u first-class hotel.
Four cents n meal Is certainly not
extravagant.

Among tho many offerings at the
Mecklenburg Centennial, none were
more appropriate and beautiful than
a wreath from Mt. Vernon—the gift
of tho Vice Regent of tho Mt. Vernon
(Ladies’ Association for North Caro
lina. The evergreens in tho wreath
were cut from trees that Washington
planted more than a hundred years
ago, and the ivy came from his tomb.
An exchange says: David A. Wells
calls our greenback currency irre
deemable. Yes; it is irredeemable in
the same sense that gold is. They
are both legal tenders for debts. The
greenback passes as money. Gold
does not; for twolvo years in tho
Unitod States it has been nothing but
a commodity.
Madame Histori.— ln the long roll
of great actresses who have illustra
ted the most brilliant unnnls of the
stage, there are no names which will
descend to posterity with a brighter
glory than those of Sarah Siddons
and Adelaide Ristori. They are the
Roscius and Garrick of thoir sex, and
It would be difficult even for the im
nginatiou to paint more force, more
passion, more dream, than that of
the great Italian representative of
the noblest days of tho English
aetress.
The New York Legislature has
passed a bill which ought to be
copied lu every State in tho Union.
It declares that fire escapes must be
provided on every building of more
than two stories in height, whether
occupied as a tenement house, hotel,
factory, concert hall or other like
purpose. In case tho owner, author
ities or officials having charge of the
buildings fail to erect such flro es
cape, after ten days notice to provide
the same, the superintendent of buil
dings or chief of flro department may
provide the same at the expense of
the owner

While thinking of the numerous
llbol suits which havo recently afflict
ed the public with their harrowing
details- and one of which has cost
Storey, the Chicago odltor, $25,000
the thought will thrust itself upon us,
why are lawyers not equally respon
sible ? The Beecher triul ranks as a
model of legal skill and courteous
forbearance; yet Whitelaw Reid was
correct, wo think, in stigmatizing
Judge Fullerton’s cross-examination
of a lady witnesses “blackguardism.”
While wo believe editors ought to be
held strictly accountable for libellous
articles, wo think also that lawyers
often have too much license, and,
under cover of law, indulge in insult
ing, “brow-boating” Intimations. A
witness should havo the same protec
tion that he or she Is accorded out
side tho court-room. The tactics too
commonly adopted, of reflecting un
necessarily upon the character of a
witness, should have its well defined
limit. A lawyer is not a superior
being; he is essentially “one of us”;
and being a lawyer does not authorize
such remarks as Judge Fullerton in
dulged in. We never could under
stand why such inordinate deference
is paid to lawyers merely bocause
they are lawyers; and when a lawyer
forgets tho respect duo to himself and
his learned profession in so far as to
Insult a witness, wo do not think it
should be tamely submitted to.
From Cuba.
A Havana letter says : Accounts
from Valmaseda’s headquarters are
ineuger, but It. is known that the
army is taking up summer quarters.
Gen. Ampudia, in a reconnoissance
along tho rebel lines, near the Nujaza
Mountains, killed twenty insurgents.
Tho financial condition of the Gov
ernment is improving. The course
pursued by Acting Captain General
C'arbo and Intendente Vega has re
sulted in an increase of the receipts
of revenue; so that there has been
sufficient money in the treasury to
pay the arrears of the troops and the
running expenses. The Government
has, also, been enabled to return
$500,000 of the $2,000,000 recently bor
rowed of tho Spanish Bank,
The Governor of Missouri has is
sued a proclamation calling on the
people of tho State to observe Thurs
day, June 3, as a day of humiliation,
fasting and prayer. Information
comes to him from all sources that
the State is threatened with a grass
hopper pestilence, to be followed by
failure of the crops, great distress and
possible famine. Nothing but tho in
terposition of Providence can save
them from the pest, and the Governor
recommends that the supplications of
the people be raised for Divine relief
and protection.
Reports from Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan and
Nebraska show an alarming state of
things with regard to grasshoppers.
Advices from Wiunipeg, Manitoba,
state that myriads of grasshoppers
are hutching out.
And from Missouri comes this re
port: “In addition to grasshoppers,
as if one curse wore not enough to
inflict upon our people, the chinch
bug swarms in many neighborhoods
and lends its effectual aid as tho foe
of vegetation. Families are already
beginning to move out, und doubtless
thousands will follow', making haste
to escape what is regarded as an inev
itable calamity.”

With regard to the proposed treaty
with the Sioux with a view to buying
their title to tho Black Hills, tho Cin
cinnati Enquirer says tho treaty of
1808 expressly prohibits such u bar
gain as we are told these chiefs pro
pose to make. The language of the
convention upon this subject is so
explicit that it cannot admit of more
than one construction. It is as fol
lows :
"Aiiticek XII. No treaty for the
cession of any portion or part of the
reservation herein described, which
may be held in common, shall be of
any validity or force as against the
said Indians, unless executed and
signed by at least three-fourths of all
the male Indians occupying or inter
ested in the same; and no cession by
tho tribe shall bo understood or con
strued in such manner as to deprive,
without, his consent, any individual
member of the tribe of his rights to
any tract, of land selected by him as
provided in artielo six of the treaty.”
Concerning Indian agents the New
York Herald says:
There are certain general facts
about the Indian question that, no
one will dispute. These agents have
for years and years made vast sums
of money. The Indians under their
care have either been exterminated
or destroyed by disease or forced into
wars which ended in their massacre.
Steadily from year to year our In
dian system has driven the red man
West and has almost obliterated the
ancient tribes, and has been an ad
vantage to no one except tho Indian
agents. The only way these agents
could make money is by robbing the
Indians and cheating the govern
ment.
“The widow of ex-President Lin
coln has been adjudged insane by a
Chicago court of Inquiry.”
Tho trouble was she had $75,000,
which her dutiful son, Bob, did not
think she could take care of as well
as he could. At least, avo infer as
much from the newspaper reports.
But these papers, , exaggerate
so!
A Change of Policy.—No careful
observer of current events can iiave
failed to notice the change in the tone
and purpose of the Administration
within tho last year. Whether that
chango is the result of more enlight
ened conviction or of clearer views of
policy, can not as vet be determined.

Oh, yes! This is the off-year in
politics.
Victor Hugo has enjoyed literary
celebrity for thirty years, and has
realized'by his pen upwards of $600,-

Mlserables” issued thirty years later,
500,000 francs.

The Ilrntli or Ormral Polk.
Sherman kept pushing ids way
down toward Atiuntu. It was in this
campaign that the rebel General
Leonidas Polk, who had been a Bish
op of the Southern Episcopal Church,
lost his life. Tho story of his death
is one of the dramatic incidents of
the war, reminding us of the death of
the famous French General, Moreau,
who was killed by a shot from a bat
tery which had been llrefl by tho spe
cial order of Napoleon. On Juno 14,
General Sherman, in conversation
with General Howard, observed, at
the distance of 800 yards, a group of
Confederate officers, evidently watch
ing the Federal troous through glass
es. Sherman called General How
ard’s attention to this group and qr
(iered him to compel it to keep be
hind its cover. Howard answered
that his orders from General Thomas
were to spare artillery ammunition.
“That was right according to the
general policy,” says Sherman. “I
explained to him that we must keep
up the morale of tho bold offensive;
that he must use his artillery to force
the enemy to remain on the. timid
defensive, and ordered him to cause
a battery close by to fire three vol
leys.” One of these volleys killed
General Polk. General Johnston
afterward explained to General Sher
man the exact manner of General
Polk’s death. He had ridden to Pine
Mountain, accompanied by Generals
Hardee and Polk. He noticed the
preparation at Sherman’s buttery to
lire and caused tho soldiers to scatter.
"They did so,” says Johnston, “and
he likewise hurried behind the para
pet, from which he had an equally j
good view of tlie position, but Gen.
Polk, who was dignified and corpu
lent, walked slowly, not wishing to
appear too hurried or cautious in the
presence of the men, and was struck
across the breast by an unexploded
shell, which killed him instantly.”
“It lius been charged,” says Sher
man, “that I fired tho shot which
killed General Polk, and that I knew
it was directed against that General.
The fact is, that at that distance, we
could not even tell that the group
were officers at all. I was on horse
back a couple of hundred yards off
before my orders to fire were execu
ted. and had no idea that our shot
hail taken effect.—From Sherman’s
Memoirs.
The writer saw tho shot wliieh
killed the Confederate Leonidas. A
sadder but a grander looking scene
of this nature was perhaps never wit
nessed than that of the old hero clad
in his General's uniform and lying in
a store in Marietta, a short time
afterwards. One instinctively felt,
here is a Bishop who from patriotic
impulses took the lower rank of
General; here is a General who was
ever the Prince-Bishop. Tho old
hero looked as calm and unruffled as
if asleep. No scene during all the
war impressed us like this one. Gen.
Polk dead was grander looking than
Gen. Polk living.

The Black HIU.
The region known as the “Black
Hills,” lying west of the great plains,
extending from the Missouri river,
and north of tho Union Pacific Rail
road, is a magnificent country for the
ranchman who is willing to become a
permanent citizen, and spend his life
in pastoral pursuits. Composed of
mountain ranges, clothed with mag
nificent forests from the color of which
the country derives its name, divided
by numerous valleys and table lands,
watered by mountain streams, and
covered with the iqpst nutritious na
tive grasses, the scenery is grand be
yond description. And as these grass
es retain their nutriment the year
round, tho country may be regarded
as a paradise for herdsmen. The
hcaithfulness of the climate is equal
to that of any part of the earth’s sur
face. The soil also produces excel
lent crops of cereals (except Indian
corn,i as well as the more hardy fruits
and garden vegetables. And, al
though the temperature is severe dur
ing the winter mouths, yet the moun
tain ranges and perennial forests,
furnish sufficient shelter from the
winter storms fo enable herds of cat
tle to live in the open air during the
worst weather.
In view of these facts which are well
established by the testimony of hun
ters and ranchmen, who have spent
many years in these localities, it can
not be doubted that this section of
the Rocky Mountains, like portions
of Montana, Dakota, and Colorado,
will, in time, furnish magnificent
homes for millions of Intelligent and
hardy citizens of the great Republic.
But just so far forth as it is found to
be desirable for agricultural and pas
toral purposes, it will prove to be
worthless for theoperations of minors
of the precious metals.
It is also worthy of observation
that the Placer gold mines of Monta
na and Colorado, are found in the
gulches in the vicinity of the highest
mountain ranges; and that the auri
ferous and argentiferous rocks,
whether quartz or granite, arc found
in these Territories above the “tim
ber range;’’ which, in Southern Col
orado, is about twelve thousand live
hundred feet above the level of the
sea, being gradually depressed as
you proceed northward ; and that the
“Black Hills,” so-called, north of
Cheyenue, in Wyoming Territory,
and south of Montana, do not reach
the altitude of what is known in that
country as tho “timber line,” above
which wood ceases to grow, and
where gold and silver bearing rocks
may bo expected, judged in the light
of former observations and exper
ience.
In harmony with these suggestions,
it should bo borne in mind, that all
tho gold and silver mines heretofore
discovered in Wyoming, are located
west of tho Black Hills, where the
mountain ranges are more elevated.
The foregoing statement of facts
are the results cf the personal obser
vations of the writer of this article,
during several months spent last
summer in these Territories, support
ed by conversations with hundreds of
the oldest inhabitants, including mi
ners, ranchmen, hunters, Govern
ment surveyors and artnv officers.
General Cuetar’s report of the discov
ery of rich gold deposits lastsnmmer,
in tho Black Hills, stands alone in
antagonism with the foregoing facts
and conclusions. Washington Chron
icle.
Prof. Ranch, of Lexington. Ky.,
writes to a local paper to say: “In
many parts of the South there arc
joint decorations of Federal and Con
federate graves, and at Northern ar
my reunions the hand of fellowship
is extended to former ‘rebels.' We*
believe that good people of all politi
cal opinions would be pleasd to see
these examples imitated.”

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
p£T£MsßLiMi, V*., Jan, 20th, 1875.
John L. Jordan, Esq.—Dear Sir: Ho well pleased
am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to the superior merit of your unequaled
preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem rny
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes of sufferer* be led through me to take the
Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar
tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, without being able to find any relief
except from your preparation. She was relieved
by the second dose a p* r directions, and has not
hod a return of it for two months. To some I
may seem strangely sanguine about your medi
cine. but I have a right to be so. It is not rea
sonable to suppose this malignant malady would
have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and
the very minute your medicine was taken. If so,
it Is a moat remarkable, simple coincidence, and
I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience.
Vary truly yours,
JAMES T TOSH.
Columbus, January 18, 1875.
Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure In recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
lias produced a most wonderful relief in one oj
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever ha* had. bhe has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence imps for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
the use of it. and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Ymr4, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
