The difficulty wilh the Modoc In dians has resulte 1 as usual in violence on their part, which, as our people always say. necessitatates their ex termination. They killed Oen. Can by and Dr. Thomas and severely wounded two o!he T S. If this outrage or the whole war were really of the Indian's making, we should feel some sympathy with the rage manifested! against them; hut what good will exterminating the Indians do while j those who have instigated and brought about ill tliir- wrong and vi olence for their own base purposes are sulfered to escape to ply their in tolerable meanness and wickedness elsewhere, fun nting other wars and treacherously bringing the crime and punishment on those who suffer tl>em sdves to he influenced by them ? We do uot claim tisat these are not : a violent people, but it does not seem that such a plainly suicidal act as this killing of ihe agents of the Gov ernment could have been committed except through the instigation and influence, cunningly employed, of those who expect to profit by their' ruin and by every step that leads to it. All history, as far as c know the history of the Indian dilileulties, even of the wars between the tribes,! shows that low white people have > purposely and recklessly and with the basest falsehood and treachery brought them about and continued j them. We have heard California emigrants and Oregon miners tell of juauy such cases and sjx-uk of the system of fomenting wars and mur d'-rous treachery as of things of eon-, start occurrence. Not the least part j of the wrong is the way in which our great Govern nit nt aud our great armies are made the instruments and victims of this outlaw }ortion of the | nation. If only we could protect the In-, dians from these offscourings of our own j atopic \% • should jirobably have very little trouble with them. They might not be quite willing to move every time we wished them to. but would see probably the utter fu tility of resistance by lighting. In deed. this very lVnce Commission ! He-ms only to i a e had in view the inducing the dodoes to be peaceably the talks, there was no compromise offered,nothing but that "if you will go quietly where we wish you to go we Will let yon alone a little for the present;'' that is, the Government would let tie m idone. It does not promise to make our wandering peo ple do so. No proposition to protect them where they are were they ever soiie-aeeal.de. Neither could we dis possess any white people to let them have the land they were willing to go to. I may naturally be difficult for the undeveloped intellect of the red! man to understand why he can al-' ways lie removed with justice and propriety and the white man eanuot. For the I.idv.n races themselves I we do in>t see but that the earliest period of their extermination may Ih> the most merciful. We have always had some hope that tight would tri-j umpli, that many of them might it. time become incorporated into our nation, and others become a civilized people dwelling in safety under im proved govt nil ileitis ol" their own. friendly and befriended; and this we believe could be if our lawless people could be forced to treat them as they are to treat white people. Bui il ex termination is to be their fate it mat ters little when it comes; whether we leave our children the murdering to to do or the inheritance of knowing; that we h'jvi done it. From inie-es of reports and edito rials on this teriH.le .-übj < t we select the following: W.vsFllNurox.

We ; keep the day f the b'uth both as holiday and holy day, its festival of the soul and body, religion, social, domestic and commercial, and this is a good that we should always i keep.

The anniversary is beautiful too; on Sunday—keflping even the week and following the moon, with a truer natural date than any fixed day of ! any month, whieh is merely a conven tional or approximate date. On this lovely April morning, in j the morning of the year, many I hearts arc lifu-d up with renewed love and faith, making and believing in a new consecration of all life, all blessings, all trials even to the Fa ther, ami the welfare and happiness; of all His creatures.

The Insurance Monitor is the ablest of all the periodicals published in lhe interest of the Insurance busi j ness. Its purpose is purely a busi ness one and its editor treats every subject introduced into its columns, solely with reference to its bearing upon the interest to which it is de voted. Keeping this fact in niinii, flrist read carefully the following strong statement of reasons for abstaining from the use of intoxicating drinks j.nd from the traffic in them. We have said a good deal on this subject ,; during the last twenty-five years—we have be n accused of using strong language at times—of being too radi cal. But here is a purely business periodical that sustains every asser tion we have ever made in reference to Hie destructive influence of intox icating cfrinks.

I he lag er-leer Sellers. This state of facts seems to giow naturally out of the ways and customs of the saloon men. They drink some of their own accord and. in addi tion thereto, the constant invitations to "treat" and lie treated, which are prrt : and parcel of saloon lib', involve as con stant libations. The results arc habit ual indolence and a disordered physique; j from these come lack of Vitality, disease, death. Whatever the interimdiatccon ; ditimis, wliatevt r the processes, the practical result is that prudent life companies are declining saloon keepers ; and liquor dealers. i In order to fully appreciate the force of such declinations, it must be remcm hered that they are upon purely business grounds. A life insurance company, I while the practical effects of its work I are beneficent, is. after all. simply a | business organization, the same as a j steamboat company, or a publishing j company ; it impure* into the habits and i condition of applicants only so far as : may be necessary to judge whether they j are good risks. Longevity, not morals: j the ability to pay and pay long, not the occupation, associations, or manners;, these are t!*> points >f research with a life company. < "nek-fighters and clergy i men, merchants and mendicants, law ! vers and liquor dealers, deetors and i drinkers are all measured by the same • rtde, all examined with the same end hi 1 view. " in/? t/) ( 7 hrr f . | it tl.f'l lycl risks.'" These are the only questions J that need lie answer* d ; tlirmat ivelv to i secure ;t policy; these are the amy ones ' whose negation will cat sea rejec tion.

Just so the life com panies are grouping the facts of expert fin e, until they will one day be able ' definitely to classify and name accepted a:.d rejected risks, as the tit e and marine ; companies now do.

I). Forbes, in the Wisconsin ; Joiiron! of Education. thinks that | "uniformity of text books" is not de ;su able, and gives reasons therefor whieli v.e commeml to the attention of educators, for consiileration it II ast. llowcvt r it mat l* with "n teaeher well qualified for his work." we tear that for the assistance of l >- ■ ; ginners in teaching—those who have : their qualifying mo-tly to do yet, the best text books must, f <r a while, be ' very essential. And as another writ j er in the same Journal says nearly one-fourth of the 2<'0,( , 1>0 teaeliers j in the Fnited States, must be, from i tlie insufficiency of Normal schools, and other causes of this unprepared class, the need of uniformity will | most likely be felt for Some time. Here is what .Mr. Forl> says: A teacher well qualified for his woik has little use for text-books < x ! cept for occasional reference, and for • tfiis purpose he finds a variety of au i t lenities on the subject in hand bet l tor than one. "In multitude of conn ! sel there is wisdom." Those who I teach hooks require a timf.mmit; ; j but i hose who teach subjects (h-rirc : i j positive advantage from dissimilarity ; whieli need in nowise to interfere : with proper classftlcation on the basis 'of capacity. The matt')- of modern I school books is substantially the same, wording and arrangement ron- Jstitnting their chief difference: and a teacher who squanders his time with a half dozen classes of perhaps one pupil each, because of a difference in books, betrays his incompetency. Let the teacher assign a topic to the class and tell them to seek infor mation from every available source in books and out of boohs. Scholars ' are apt to think that the text-hook ' contains all that is needful to know. ; Awaken the spirit of inquiry, give it i an unlimited range, and they will , J soon convince themselves that school books are not the sum of all human knowledge- This, in itself, will be ' an important item of knowledge. Recitations thu< prepared will not be such spiritless affairs as when they consist in repeating the text rcrbahm i'.t Literatim , with a-scrupulous avoid " :nc of taking anght therefrom or of ■ adding a little thereto. A pupil's . proficiency in arithmetic is tested by his understanding of prinf-iples, w>t by what lie knows of the rules and formulas of Ray, Robinson, Thomp son or Havies; neither is it of any < eoi s quel ee whether the pupil *tud- t j ies Kirk ham, Clarke or Kerl, so that I he has mastered the laws of grammar. j and is able to use language correctly. , All of these authors may he good ex ponents of the subjects they treat j upon, but none of them knows every ; thing.

This, in niv opin on, is what a reeita-, tion should be. It is of far less con sequence what the book• is than what | t!ic teacher is; for outside, and be yond all that the best luniks could ; contain, are the explanations, illn>- jt rat ions and adaptations of the sub jjcot, which must come from the teacher. I'pon his skill and ingenu ity ill presenting the theme so as to ] elicit interest and thought, depends in a large measure the benefits the j pupils will derive from the study. Il a teacher can once get his pupils to ! investigating ami thiukiiig,a.][ trouble about text books will vanish.
