Glimpses of Sioux Life in Years Gone By— Pushing the Indians Toward their Last Resting Place.—The Traders of a Few Years Back—Tragical Incidents of Savage Rule: [From the New York Times.] Camp Sheridan, Neb.—The glory ol Camp Sheridan and its sister post, Camp Robinson, has departed, The thousand Sioux who a year since gath¬ ered about the neighboring agencies arej now scattered far and wide. Son e Agencies are| on the Missouri, Pine Ridge some and at the the Rose- new at *™v.afytudes Xd, and some of yielding to tbe numerous savage life, have found a resting place on the elevated scaffolds that constitute the place of Dakota burial. An Indian agency, while in exist¬ ence presents a most animated scene, being surrounded by thousands of In¬ dians of all ages—men and women boys and girls, papooses so small that their careful mothers have strapped them to the young colts on which they ride. All gather about the agent's house and the trader’s storo on the days on which their rations aro issued, or the more important occasion on which they receive their semi annual annuties. Tho active existence ol an agency, however, is not ot long dura¬ tion. Everything appertaining to the American savage seems to be of a fleet¬ ing character. Soon alter his contact with the while race a war ensues, in which the savage suffers defeat. Soon after the termination of this war an agency is established for tho benefit cf the subjugated Indians. In a few years the inroads of settlers makes necessary the removal of the agency to some point further north or west, which removal ia fol¬ lowed by auot.her and another, until the tribe, reduced to a mere band, is finally conveyed to that last repository of the American natives—the Indian Territory. Such has been the history of the agencies of the Spotted Tail and Red Cloud bands of the Sioux tribe, who are now occupying their third agency, having been removed from the vicinities of camps Sheridan and Robinson about two years ago to their present homes at Pine Ridge and Rosebud. r Iho old agency buildings present Their desolate a most gloomy appearance air may be taken as an index ot the present state of the entire country. In old times, fortunes were made in a day; the Indian traders and Trench bquaw men reaped a most abundant harvest. Legend states that at one of the frontier stores a barrel was placed under the counter in which tho receipts of the day were deposited, In those palmy days, a Frenchman named Nick Lieueesa lived among the Sioux, one of whose women ha mar ried. Nick would import a barrel of alcohol , , , from the , i States, a-.. which , • , would ,, be secretly conveyed to the Indian country and buried. With a tm nllol a alcohol, judiconaly-compounded m.v tureof water, tobacco, and sugar one, two or three buffalo robes could be purchased. The same bargain tn.ght Irequently be concluded through the medium ol a pint dipper fiber hack with lumps of white sugar, etill lives in the country, but, notwith stauding his early opportunities, is in very moderate circumstances. most men 01 Ins lis ot ft lavish disposition, and rapidly squau dered what was so easily acquired. Many tragical days. scenes officer occurred iu those early An at this post related au excii)£ interview once beheld between Spotted Tail and an Indian whose brother he had lately killed. The victim s name was B>g Mouth. He was a whue man s duel, and on that account, probaby, ' oonoxious to a large then majority ol his tribe Spotted Tail, more patn otic than at present, shot him m a some waat cowardly manner. In the even ing, Big Mouths brother appeared in Spotted Tail s tepe arrayed in full war panoply, and bitterly upbraided the murdeier lor his cowardly act. After the delivery of hie denunciation he de liberately tui ned and walked from the wigwam. Spotted Tail, said the nar rator appeared exceedingly restive reproach un der the indignant tide of vehemently poured forth by the on raged brother. He nervously fingered bis rifle, and the spectator supposed his foe would never leave the tent alive. He, however, withdrew unharmed. A more tragical scene occurred at a dif ferent time and place, resulting m the death ol several savages. Yehow Bear, a Dakota chief, ordered a certain half breed, named Heehaw, not to enter his campt, threatening, in case of disobe dience to shoot him. The half-breed notwithstanding the injunction, visited the camp of Yellow Bear, who at tempted to execute his threat. Reshaw was too quick for him, and fired, kill*. ing the chief. Two or three other In dians, who attempted to avenge their chief, were also killed. Iinally, Re shaw was slain. His squaw, a woman of the tribe, being apprized of his fate, rushed to the scene, and frantically threw herself on t.be body of her hus¬ band. After bemoaning him in the and vehement all wild style pecnliar to the Indians peoples, she arose, and, arming herself with his axe, proceeded to mangle the bodies of the dead sav¬ ages. After hacking them sufficiently, she smeared herself with their blood. Then, with her long black hair bedab¬ bled with gore, she gathered her hus¬ band in her arms and sat on the ground, rocking to and fro, crooning a savage ditty to the inanimate form. A True Story. A few afternoons ago, two men ac¬ costed a nine year old boy on the cor¬ ner of Twenty-fourth street aud Sixth avenue and requested that he wheel a baby carriage, valued at $10, which was standing in front of a carriage store in the block, to No. 53 East Eighteenth etreet, promising to give him 25 cents for his labor. The youngs¬ ter did as he was bid. When he reached ^Eighteenth street and Broad¬ way be was met by the men, ono of them taking charge of the carriage and the other of tbe boy. The latter told the boy to go into a gin mill with him and he would pay him the quarter. While the boy’s back was turned the man slipped out of the side door. The boy, after waiting two hours, returned to the store from whence he had taken the carriage and demanded his money. The proprietor of the place who had in the meantime discovered the removal of the carriage, was no lit¬ tle surprised at the urchins request, but granted it, saying that though he really stole the carriage he was not to blame for it and ought to be paid for his trouble. Had that boy been ar¬ rested while on his way to meet those men no judge or police in this city would have believed the facts as above stated, lie would have been sent to the Elmira reformatory. The mean¬ ness of the real thieves that used the boy for a tool, however, is unparalleled. —JSexv York Mail. Where Beer Grows. — Belgium prides hersell on her beer, for at her late industrial exhibition not less than eighty-four distinct taps were offered to the consideration of the experts. If England has her ale, Germany her bock aud salvator, it is in Belgium only that the true and perfect lambic can be touud. There is antiquity about Belgian beer which is worthy of notice, lor as early as 1137 there were five windmills, one of them belonging to the Duke of Brabant, that, ground malt, In the fifteenth century Brussels beer bad a famous reputation, and was call ed, according to quality, waeghbaert, ^red* hoppe, beer) coyte or cuyte, roet bier, and zwart bier {black beer. To day, save the cuyte, an these varieties of beer are unknown, and the delights of the Brussels beer-drinkers are cen ered , on , Umb,c-a sparkling, heady beer, on mars a milder tipple, and mi.vtnre, faro by name, combining qualities o the other two.) A char actenetio dertul nt Eelg.an beer ,a us won the cheapness lambic, W.ththe exception ot the retail price ol an imperial pint of beer is about from 2; - rents W ith the doub.e attraction ot cheapness and excellence, it is not astonishing that less than Belgium drinks up every tohtres, year no 11,050,000 hec or dj.dSS.TOO g allons. w Persons who are troubled with ants iu _ their houses get rid of them by may rubbing tbe shelves will with gum camphor.

A Rough Translation, A young lady moving in the most ! exa j te j SO cial circles ol Chicago, after muc jj toil and practice at the piano, learned to play with considerable dex t erity a piece entitled ‘'Picnic Polka/' R ig eomethirig after the 8t / le of tbe PR , ebrated «. Battle of Pra ue /’ The p 8tenfcr can readily distinguish the roar o{ the arti llery, the rattle of the mU8 ] ie t r y ) the shouts of soldiers and the groans of the dying. In the “Pic n j c p 0 ]k a ” tbe noise of the wind among the trees and the joyous carols of the birds are reproduced, the finale being a thunder-shower which disturbs the eylvan reV ei] er8 . It happens that a coun t r y cousin is in town just now, and tb e young lady thought she would j a y the pj ece to him and hear his comment . He is a plain-minded youth> and although not very bright j s ver y appreciative. and She told him wbtt t the piece him was then proceed* p edtogive tbe ‘< Picnic 0 i ka .” Pb e first notes are rather slow and hesitating, the idea sought to be con veyed being the eolemQ so ii tude 0 f f ores t through which the gentle zephyr / Q0fc heifer) 8igh3 After she got . through with this preface, she asked him if be did not almost imagine him ae jf j n a i od g e 8ome vast wilderness, He rep]ied that he thought all that 8 i 0Wne9S meant the delay in getting off Said he: “There is always some darned CU88 w ho oversleeps himsell and kee p 8 everybody else waiting.” ghe did not care to discuss the point with ...... the ignorant .... fellow, eo, to , concea , her emotions, she once more let herself; out on the piano, lae woods were filled with music. The mocking bird whistled as if his throat would split, the cuckoo filled the sylvan bowers with his repeated cry, while ever aud anon the mournful cooing of the dove interrupted the matin song of the lark. “There, now, I guess you know what that sounds like?” she said, as she paused. tootle, tootle, “Yon mean that ‘tootle, chug, chug, chug?’ You just bet I un derstand that. Many is the time at a picnic I’ve heard it from the mouth of a demijohn or the bung hole of a beer keg.” Her first impulse was to hurl the piano stool at him, but it passed off, and once more she went at the piano as if it was the young man’s head and was insured for double its value. The thun der growled, the lightning flashed (from her eyes) and the first heavy drops are heard upon the leaves. She banged and mauled the keys at a fear ful rate; peal after peal of deafening thunder perturbed the atmosphere and re-echoecl in still louder reverberations until it wound op in one appalling clap as a grand finale. Then, said. turning to the awe-struck youth, she suppose you have heard something like that before?” “Yes, that’s what the fellow with linen panto said, when be sat down on the oortardpie The audience found himself alone, but he picked up hie hat and saunter ed out into tho street, densely unco n scious that he had said anything out of the way.

Editors Augusta Evening News : —In those times, when infidelity is striving by means of an imperfect sci¬ ence to overthrow the authority of the Bible, as the word of Gfod, it" will be interesting to your readers to know something of the process of reasoning by which tlie above theory is support¬ ed. At the outset it will be objected that there is no resemblance at all in any respect, between the Saxon and Jewish races, especially by Jer. in physiognomy. This is met 24:0, showing that the Jews should be known as a “mocking” a “taunt,” a “curse" to be eff.cted by “the show 0 i their countenance witness* ing against them’’ (Is. 3:9.) If this had been the case with Israel, they never could have become lost. Then we are apt to confound the Jews with the house of Israel, but the house of Judah bad two tribes, Judah and Levi, pre; -nt Jews, acd the other ten tribes the “House of Israel,” Ephraim, never were Jews, although descended with them from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Manasseh is a thirteenth tribe “de¬ creed to be a great people, a distinct nationality.” The class of prophecies applicable to the Jew and Israelites, are very distinct. A few of these we will give to show how important tbe preservation of tbe dist.incton must be in rea(Ji = the Bible pronerly, ‘ via : Imi<>1 v t „ ,, >sl , to become, pie.” in “Strong monarchy.” power.” "A “An island nation having Christian great colonies.” “A “The chief of the na tions.” “The IiOid God will call his servants by another name.” Christ sent his missionaries to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” not to the ways of the Gentiles nor to the Samaritans, and they went into the countries then occupied by Israel, not then quite lost or unknown. “I am pot ” Christ, “bu^unto Stu *ays lost sheen of the house of Israel." All historic evidence goes to prove the descent of the Saxons—from the Sakai, descendants of Isaac, etc., and their occupation of the lands into which the “lost tribes” were transplanted. In a short article like this, intended only to invite the attention of believers to this subject, I can onlv offer the merest sketch, wo h I offer now, viz.: The Saxo? s ard kindred tribes spread north ward, and, with the Mormons, oc I r .neeand conquered England, thus unit g themselves with the Sax ons nud toe Angles. Iiolacd was first reached by the Israelites under Jere miah. who. with one of tbe daughters of Zeddiian escaped m tbe ships of Dan to Ireland. Here they united with the people and finally passed over toScotlaud, but leaving a portion of them in the north of Ireland From these Scotch came the present Queen Victoria, a descendant from David, etc. The curse upoo the Jewish or He brew P eo P le ’ incurred by not slaying the entli e Canaamlish people, that thou S h aervants the ? should ever be a thorue in lbe!r suie8 > 18 pu8tai ned by the fact t}jafc the Iri ‘ sh of the South of Ireland claim to be the descendants of anc i eGt Canaanites, through the Ehenecians Fenians); and although ^°i n P tbe vvo, ii and fighting the battles England and America (Manassah) bave *‘ ver been aud still are disturbers m ’ uoU countrie8 uader the direction < those to v. hom^ was given the court temple, to be trodden under b ® 0i tl,e Cent .es.

There are three reasons why women’s hair is longer than men’s : First, she has no hair growth on her face, and so has a larger supply of hair-forming material for the scalp ; second, the di¬ ameter of her hair being larger, it is less liable to break; third, being usu¬ ally less engaged in mental labor or business worry, she has a more constant and even supply of blood to the scalp. In nations where the hair of the men is usually worn short, the fashion of long hair in the male is regarded as a pro¬ test against church and State, and against general customs, taste and thought; in Austria it is made a po¬ litical offence to be so attired. The growth of the hair is the most rapid in the young and middle-aged, and in those living an outdoor life. At the age of 80, if a man live ao long, and if his hair and beard have been close-trimmed, he has cut off six and a half inches of hair annually, or about thirty feet in all. The hair is the least destructible part of the body. The hair of the ancient Thebans is, after a lapse of 4,000 years, found to have survived the tombs. The Pyramids aDd the Sphinx are crum¬ bling, but some of the wigs of human hair, exposed to the mold and moisture of their entombed apartments, are lets decayed than the monuments them¬ selves. There are three coloring pigments to the hair—yellow, red and black, and all the shades are produced by the mixture of these three colors. In pure gold yellow hair there is only the yel¬ low pigment ; in red, the red mixed with yellow ; in dark, the black mixed with red and yellow; in the hair of the negro there is as much red pigment as in the reddest hair, and had not the black been most developed—perhaps by the action of the sun—the hair of all negroes would be as fiery a red as the reddest hair of an Englishman.
