THE DAILY TIMES.
An Imllaii’H Opinion of tlie Honesty
und Conduct of llie White Man.
A Pluto chief, who is evidently both
shrewd and sensible, writes to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat concerning the
treatment of his rnco, us follows:
It is passing strange, that these
white pioneers and border men all
believe that" they do God’s service
when they kill a red man. As for
merely cheating the Indians, that is
not at all wrong, in the estimation of
a majority of Christian whites who
reside nearest to my brethren, the
noble Bed men. lum disgusted wit h
the pale-faced nation, and long to bo
among my people once more; white
people have no appreciation of the
feelings of a red man. I have been
often insulted by them ; they ask me
to work, or suggest that I had better
go to work.
Poor, ignorant white man! don’t
know that Indian don’t work. Up in
the vicinity of Bod Cloud Agency
there arc camped from 3,000 to 11, not)
red people, and they dance and run
horse races, and draw their rations
from week to week during the whole
year. The beef contractor drives up
great herds of beeves, the govern
ment, pays for them, and my people
have sport in shooting them, and
eating as much of thorn as they de
sire. What splendid recreations they
do have! You see, they refuse to re
ceive beef, unless it is turned out to
them alive, so they may have the
sport of killing it. I shall be delight
ed to get back among my race once
more, where the contaminating in
fluences of civilization have not
left any bad effects. I tired of the
Indian Territory. The Cherokoes
and Choctaws have so far
departed from the good old
Indian customs Unit they are now
very little better than white people.
1 would not care to go into the civil
ized business and the role of a while
man, if 1 could only get a contract
for supplying the Indians. I would
like a beef contract, for instance,and
furnish 12,000 beeves per annum to
Bed Cloud Agency. All Texas broad
horns, steers and cows, are averaged
at between 1,000 and 1,100 pounds
each and paid for by the pound. Or,
I believe, tlie contract for transporta
tion would suit me. I would got an
advance over ordinary railroad rates
for all goods and supplies shipped
from New York and Eastern cities,
while 1 would contract for reduced
rates, and then 1 would merely allow
the Indian Agent’s Storekeeper at this
place to turn the goods and supplies
over to the teamsters, who arc always
here and clamoring for a load; and l
would pay tlie teamsters SI 50 per 100
pounds, while the government would
be paying mo $2 to per 100 pounds. J
don’t know but l had rather be an In
dian Agent, but there is a science
about that thing that no feller but a
full-blooded white man is sharp
enough to find out. How to make
$60,000 in two or three years, on a
salary of $1,500 a year, is a question
too obtruso for the Indian mind to
comprehend.
The head of that Indian is level,
and the late delegation of bravos to
Washington also shows that at length
they arc beginning to understand the
ropes of the government agents.

An t'nfnU’.iisr *>llsll.
The editor of the Gallatin (TennJ
Examiner contributes the following
to the large stock of weather signs:
For more than twenty-live years we
have known u sign by which to deter
mine the probability of rain for that
day, which we have not seen fail in a
single instance, and we publish it
that others itriv verify its certainty,
if theyeimose. ' Go out early in the
morning, in the spring, summer and
fall, and if the earth and field spiders
have, over-night, woven their fresh
webs over tlie grass, and about the
bushes and fences, set it down tor a
fair day, even if it looks like the rain
will pour down in live minutes. The
instinct of tlie spiders never fools
them. They arc wiser and surer titan
General Myers and till of his calcula
tions of probabilities. A knowledge
of this fact may be a sure guide to
the farmer as to tiis day’s work.

A. T. Ktewarl Deals With tlr*. O’l'laii
awaii.
Mrs. O’Flanagan is said to bo tlie
name of the lady who owned a piece
or the Congress street, property at
Saratoga recently purchased by Mr.
A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince.
They are telling how she outwitted
tin; great merchant. Mr. Stewart
called ami offered her $22,300 for her
lot, in his usual brusque, yet busi
ness-like way, and gave her till four
o’clock to accept his offer. “Shure,
Mr. Stewart, a brewer from Albany,
lias offered mo $33,000 for the proper
ty, and given ino ns long as I want to
think about it. But I told him he
could have it for $34,000 if he was
back here by three o’clock. It is now
ten minutes to three. Ye can have it
for $35,000 if ye get back here before
the brewer does/’ The thought of a
'‘brewery” in the neighborhood of the
Grand Union Hotel did the business.
Mr. Stewart closed with Mrs. O'Fiana
gan on the spot.

An excellent old ballad lias been
made into good modern law in Mr.
Joaquin Miller’s remote common
wealth of Oregon. The United States
District Court in that State has given
$2,000 damages to a young German
girl of nineteen whose beauty was
permanently spoiled by an accident'
on board of the steamship Oriflamme,
of the Oregon Company, last March.
The Judge gave it as his opinion that
“personal comeliness is a considera
tion of importune • in the case of ev
ery daughter of Eve,” since it may
affect her power if obtaining “a se
cure and independent position in the
community by marriage.” The opin
ion must be admitted to he sound,
and not the less sound that it simply
translates into law the famous old
verse:
My face in my fortune, nir, lu-ail.

Perry, August 13. The investiga
tion of the Auditor, W. D. Notting

to take testimony and report in tho
case of the Commissioners of Houston
county against John R. Cook, began
last Monday at tho Courthouse.

and Hie Auditor decided that the
proof of palpably fraudulent items in
an account, should such proof be
made, would impeach the whole ac
count. It will last probably two
weeks longer.
For tlie last week I have been dili
gent in making inquiries about crop
prospects. Scarcely aday lias passed
during tlie last fortnight but rain
has fallen in some parts of the coun
ty. These rains have been vory par
tial, however. I have heard of several
plantations that are yot suffering
from drought. Most of tho corn anil
highly fertilized cotton has failed to
recover entirely from tho effects of
the dry spell, but in many sections we
hear of good crops and hopeful spir
its. We cannot expect a full average
either of corn or cotton; probably
three-fourths will como pretty near
tho right figures. S.

NORTH PRACTICING WHAT IT PREACHES.
800 ii fork, 111., August 13. Tlie ex
citement occasioned by H. P. Kim
ball’s announcement that Jefferson
Davis would speak at tho Fair this
year has boon growing since Monday,
when the letter of acceptance arrived.
The publlcatian of the letter in the

came to Rockford. From that

greater, and now assumes an indig
nation that will not easily bo allayed,
unless Mr. Davis cancels his engage
ment.
Tho Grand Army of the Republic,
held an Indignation meeting, and
passed resolutions strongly protest
ing against the action of tho Board of
Directors in writing to Mr. Davis to
speak.
The excitement is not confined to
Rockford, but extends to the county.
I'OMtnaaNtcrM mill tlie Cirtvcrniiient.
Washington, August 13.—1 tls es
timated that from a half to three
quarters of a million dollars are add
ed yearly to the amount required for
the compensation of postmasters in
tlie United States by the practice
which prevails among postmasters
not appointed by the President,
and drawing fixed salaries of selling
stamps outside their own and within
the delivery of Presidential affairs.
The law making salaries dependent
upon tlie value of stamps sold went
into operation July 1, 1874, and can
hardly lie repealed before June
3()th, 1876, during which time, unless
tlie practice is cheeked, the
Government will be defrauded of
a million tou million and half dollars
by tho process. The department ex
pects that the summary removal of a
large number of postmasters for this
cause will act as a warning, and at
least partially check the operations
in this direction.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from tho
cow's udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened, and the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
iu it and drawn gently on tho arm, so as not to
draw tho blood, will bo impregnate and change
tlie entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking tho most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an ontire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from tho at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
•■liable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it, and applied it, and proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymlal Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills aud Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, ami that it will cure all the above dis
cuses, except tho worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects tho humors of the body and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without feariug tho effects of malaria in
the least.
It has been tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at tho Powell Building, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cuie or the money refunded.

is stamped upon them.

Atlanta, Ga., Juno 6,1875.
Messrs. Lovk k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever aud
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on me for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Beltß, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for somo three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would wan t one of your Pads,
aud no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get oue of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,
W. J. Wilson.
Atlanta, Ga., June 3,1876.
Dns. Love & Willson:
On the first day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasviile, Southwes
tern Ga., anil was treated for tho same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced nie to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
son’s Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
mo. I have had but one chill since, and that was
the first (lay after putting it on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was in my lile, aud think
this Belt a God-scud to the afflicted.
# J. M. Mathews.
Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1876.
Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever siuce, until I met up with Drs. Love fit
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.

the very hour I first received them, one to oue of
our conductors, and to Mr. Vaughn, a Clerk in

und other remedies, and that they failed till they
put on the pad; since then they have had no more
Chills or Fever, and they recommend them to ev
