Indian Sutnmor,
Just nftor the death of tho flowers,
And before they are hurled In snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature Is nil aglow
Aglow wllh a mystical splondnr
That rlvals'tho brlghtncsi or Spi Ing
Aglow with n beauty more tender
Than aught which fair summer could bring,
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows Its magical dj es,
And mantles the far sprc.tdlng landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The Sun from his cloud-plUnwcd chamber
Smites snlt on u vision so gay,
And dreams th.it his f ivorltc children,
The flowers, havo not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on tho mountains,
A light, nture haze In tho air,
As If angels whllo heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robaa floating there j
Tho brcezo Is so soft, so caressing,
It seems n muto token ol love.
And floats to tho heart like a blessing,
From some happy spirit nbove.
These days so serene nnd so charming,
Awaken a dreamy delight
A tremulous, tearful enjoyment,
Like soft stratus of muslo at tllght ;
We know they nro fad lug and flcotlng,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And we watch them wllliyearnlng MirecUon,
As nt parting wo watch a dear friend.
Oh I beautiful Indian Bummcrl
Thou favorite child of the year,
Thou darling, whom Nnturo enriches
AVI Ih gifts and adornmenls so dear I
How fain would wo woo thee to linger
On mounlaln nnd meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like tho sweet haunts of Natuio,
Rejoice nnd grow young In thy smile.
Not alono to tho sul Held of Autumn
Dost thou a hut brightness n-sloro,
But thou brlngst a worM-weary spirit
Bwcet dreams to its childhood once nioro ;
Thy lovllness Alls us with meinnrli s
Ol nil Unit was brightest and In st
Thy peace and serenity offer
A foretaste of heavenly rest.
How to Woo and Win.
11Y JII1IV (I S..K.
"Would yon play tho manly lovtr?"
Said a graybeanl to his sou,
' List, my lad, while I discover
How a maiden should be" won.
"Woo her not with hoistful phrases,
Lest you teach her Hp to sneer;
Still a suitor's wnrmcst praUes
In his conduct should npprnr.
"Woo her not with senseless sighing;
Maidens love a laughing eye ;
Tell her not that you are dyln,'
Lest she, mocking, bl l you die I
"AVoohcr not wllh weakly whining
O'er your poverty of pelf.
Lest sho answer by declluing
Both your sorrows nnd )uurselfl
"Woo her with a mnnly wooing;
Giving hostages to Fate,
All the hearts devotion showing
By its strength lo work and wall.
"Woo her not with Idlo prattlo
AY'hoHi you fain would make your wife;

Great li(her, the President He Ac
cuses Jllmof Iiylmj,
Tho commission appointed by tho
President to visit tho Sioux nnd Chey
enno Indian reached Fort Laramie,
Washington Territory, on tho 21st of
September, whero they wero obliged to
remain awaiting tho plcasuro of his
Royal Highness, Red Cloud until tho
e'ctilng of tho 4th Inst., when, tlio
head chiefs of tliosa nations having ar
rived, measures were taken to have tho
Council meet.
RED CLOUD'S FRAAM'.R ANI) SPEECH.
Red Cloud, after offering a prayer In
which oil the Indians Joined, spoko as
follows :
"You are my friends, and I want
yon to listen to my words. They tiro
tlio simu I told lltu Great Father, and I
wish you to curry thorn back to him.
Look at me. These men aro all Ogal
ltilos, my tuition. They arc for friend
ship. That Is why wo aro hero to-day.
When I went to Washington I sawn
great many chiefs. I told them what I
meant. I 1 1 til mean It. I do not
change. I hold my Great Father's
words. When I came back I promised
to stop all war parties. When I got
hack I talked to my young men, and 1
am Kind to say they listened to and
obeyed my orders. 3Iy Client Father
tells mo that it would bo many years
ten, twenty or thirty before white
men would pass through my country,
nnd I told It to my young men. Before
six months had ptis-ed they went
through my land, thus shaming mo be
fore my people. It was the Cheyenne
pai ty. Governor Campbell knew or It,
yet'imbody slopped them."
Mr. Brunset The Great Father don't
deslro white men to pass by tho way of
Bridger, but wanted to use this road,
only traveling. somo thirty miles along
the north bank of the Pintle, and then
rccro-if-ingto tills side.
Red Cloud I do not so understand it.
Tho Great Father told mo that Fort
Fottcrman was thero to watch my in
terests its Avell as his. Ho has lied to
me. Tliis road they havo been using
fortomu fifty llvo yeais, and it has ru
ined us, but wo luiN'o received no pay
for it. At all our councils they never
taitl anything about tlio rriul, but gavo
us all north of tho Platto-tho Great
Spirit heard it. If I had three or four
pieces of land I would givosomoto the
Great Father, but as I only havo this
piece I think ho should let mo livo in
peaco oir it. Tlio Great Fullicr has
houses Mled witli gold stolen from my
lauds. I wanthlin to do us justice.
Sly friends, look ut us; wo nro near
to tho sunset; wo used to bo at thosun
rise. I have heart, brain and sense,
and want my rights. The-whito men
mako their money by cheating. Somo
who aro smart take advantage of those
who have not much brains, and drive
hard birgnins witli them. They can't
do .'o with mo ; T luu'e brains. At tho
beginning of thu war wo wero shot,
ami then we shot you down llko dogs.
Now we want no morespillingof blood;
so wo want no more travel. Tho Great
Father sends men to .spill blood. Whllo
tho Great Father wasflgliting among
his people ho did not mind ns; this is
what started tlio war. It was tho Great
Father's fault; ho killed my young
men, nnd I killed his. I want all this
stopped. When I camo back from
Washington I was glad. You tvero
present at tho council In Washington
when I spoko these words. I still hold
to them. Look all around this post,
nnd you too bones tlio bones of my
people. I told tho Great Father that I
wanted two trailers, os In olden times.
I want my traders teu miles abovo hero
not in my own country. I want to
know about tho presents you havo
brought hero for mo.
Jlr. Brunot If you wunt pay for It
wo will pay. When Red Cloud was at
Washington he told tlio Groat Father
that goods wero rent to him, but ho did
not recei'o them j but now, if you nro
peaceable, you will get them. I hope
you will lino those I now havo to give
they nrotfixnl and I trust they avIII bo
s-atlsfuctory. If not, I will tell the
Great Father, and others will ba fur
nished. I will now, tell you whnt I
havo liroight you blankets, muslin,
calico, blue anil red cloth, shirts, hats,
axes, butcher kiiiA'es, tobacco and ket
tles. Red Cloud I told my Great Father
that I wanted guns and ammunition. I
want nothing elso. 1
Mr. Campbell Ho sent none After
having six years of war, ho thinks wo
should ImA'o a longer peace beforo glv
ing them to you.
Red Cloud-If tho Great Father
keeps his people off my land, wo will
havo petieo forever.
Mr. Brunot Wo will arrange every
thing ns It should bo; wo will toll tho
Great Father, and all will bo right.
Red Cloud I do not intend to get
mud. I am ashamed of tho Great
Fullicr,

Tlio Ifutflcsj ol' tlic Wiltlci'iicsm.
In roply to an assertion that General
Leo, at tho beginning of tho Wlldemcsu
campaign, had only 50,000 men under
his command, Avhllo General Grant had
thrco times that number, General I! i
doau has written a letter to tho London
Standard, the paper that nuulo thostnlo'
ment. Ho says that all tho original
documents, still in cxlstonco which
onco belonged to tlio Southorn War Of
fice, oro In tho possession of tho United
States Government, having by tho ox
press direction of Jefferson Davis been
surrendered by General Joseph E.
Johnson to Lieutenant General Sher
man. From n protracted and careful
examination of these captured docu
ments, and of tho private nnd oillclul
papers of General Grant, tlio following
statements havo been collated of the
forces engaged in tho Wilderness cam
paigns. Tho Meld return of General Leo of
April 20th, 1801, givos M,8'Jt men pres
ent for duty, but doc3 not lncludo tlio
ntretigth of LongHtruut's Corps. Long
Street joined Leo nfter April 20th, mid
prior to tho battlo of .May flth, in the
Wilderness. General Longstreet's field
return of tho date nearest to May 6lh,
Bhows 18,387 men present for duty, so
that 72,278 men wero under Lee's or
ders at tho battlo of the Wilderness.
At thesamo time, tho wliolo force, ns
shown bv Iho field returns, present for
duty under Grant was 98,010, or u pre
ponderant) in favor of Grant of 2.5,7-11
soldiers. General Badcau says that the
calculation that Grant had thrco times
its many men as Leo has been worked
out by omitting Longstreet's Corps nl
togother from tho estimate, tvid by giv
ing only Leo's forces present for duty
on tlio Rapidun ; whllo in reckoning
Grant's numbers, not only llioso pres
ent for tluty are counted, but also tlio
sick and tho extra-duty men, which go
to mako up the grand total.
Thu London Standard u'eo asserts
that Leo maicned out nf Richmond at
its fall, ott April 2d, 180"), with 2(!,00()
men. In reply to this assertion Gen
eral Badcau states that Lou's last field
return, mado in February, 1805, nnd
signed with his own baud, gives 50,091
men ns present for duty, and 73,:519 us
the total. This return did not include
tho local malltio of Richmond and tho
crows of tho gunboats on the James
ris'or, who, It is believed, numbered
several thousands, and, who wero al
ways placed In tho trendies to resist
assaults. In tlio battlo of Five Forks,
and tho subsequent assaults which led
to tho capture of Richmond, it is estl
mated that Leo may have lost 20,000
soldiers, so that he moved out of
Richmond with nt least 10,000 men.
Tho London Standard also nssorts
that 8,000 men Avero surrendered by
General Leo at Appomatox Court
House. In reply to this, it is stated
that tho official records show that 27,
110 soldiers wero nctuaily paroled at
that place, besides tho lens of thous
ands of members of Leo's army who
camo in afterwards and surrendered ns
prisoners or war. General Badenu,
who was profent nt tho surrender, says
that after tho capitulation Avas signed,
General Leo immediately requested
General Grant to supply tho prisoners
with food, as they had been living sev
eral days on two ears of Indian corn a
day. In reply to an inquiry as to tho
number of troops under his command,
General Leo said ho could not tell, as ho
had received no returns for several
days, nnd his troops had been killed,
wounded and captured In such num
bers, that ho could form no estimate.
It was, however, agreed that 2),000 ra
tions should bo issued daily, but It avos
soon ascertained that tills number was
fur from sufficient. Ledger.

A Defender of the rnltlt.
A Boston houso publishes a nent duo
decimo pamphlet of fifty-two pagoj, en
titled "The orgln of tho Bismarck Pol
icy," nnd purporting lo bo n translation
of doctrines nnd maxims laid down by
Frederick tho a rent for tho uso nnd
guidance of his successor to the throne.
Read lu tho light of events resulting to
tlio practical elaboration of Prussian
policy, it is botli instructive and amus
ing. Tho reader nt onco sees that both
William and Bismarck havo tlieso max
ims of tho great Frederick at heart.
nnil do not hesltnto to net in nccordanco
with them. To those avIio gnugo King
William's pioty by his proclamations
nnd despatches, It will be pleasant lo
Icnrn thnt nccordlng to tho rules pro
scribed by Frederick It Is unwlso torn
king to havo a religion, becauso "it
ngrees neither with our passions" (sic
passim) "nor with tho high political
views Wiich n monarch should enter
tain." Religion, nccordlng to Freder
ick, makes monarchs weak-minded.
For example: A christian cannot mako
war ; nor can ho successfully treat with
foreign powers, becauso ho will suffer
himself to bo Imposed upon. Neither
William norhls premlerstiffers himself
to bo Imposed upr-n, and both seem to
havo adopted tho advice of tho groat
Frederick in adapting their religion to
their ambitious designs, leaving tho un
defiled article to tho common people.
As to Justice, the great robber con
cludes that It Is all very well so long ns
tlio king Is not brought under subjec
tion by it. Ho deprecates tho fate of
Charles tho First, and declares that ho
cannot tolerate any restraining power
In his kingdom. Ho surveyed the nar-
llaments of England and Franco anil
concluded lo undorinino tho founda
tions of Justice. Ho mado nn estimate
of tho future, nnd was alarmed to find
that within it hundred years ono tooth,
of his subjects would bo engaged In ad
ministering jii-llcp, tho cost of which
would be paid from tho royal revenues.
That alxrmed him, and, consulting
economy ns well ns safety, Frederick
concluded to convert justice into tho
puppet of his throne.
His definition of "policy" is inimita
ble. Tho word, says Frederick, was
selected for sovereigns becauso they
cannot really bo called rogues and ras
cals; and its meaning is, that kings
must always try to dupo other people,
To dupo people is to swindlo; but It
would noA'er do to call a king a swin
dler, thercforo when a monarch cheats
it is "policy." Wo dq not marvel much
when tho royal philosopher exhorts his
successors to mako alliances from which
they can derive tho whole ndvantage.
to break them when interest requires
mo oreacli, and, abovo nil, to act upon
the prlnciplo that"ro despoil your neioh-
dors is to deprive them of the means of
uvurmg you." it will ho renminberod
that Count Bismarck hosrepeatodly do
dared that Prussia must havo Alsaco
and Lorraino to hold Franco In chock.
The reader of this little pamphlet
will conclmlo that the spirit of the great
Frederick yet animates Prussian states
men. It reads llko a satire. " Whon I
came to tho throne," says tho great
man, "I doubled my army, perfected It
In drill until nil tho world tried to move
their arms, legs and heads a la 2V!(s.ii
enne. Then I cast about for additions
to my territory ; commenced with SI
lesla, because circumstances wero fiwor
oblo in that direction. I established
my claims to Silesia by my orators.
Tho queen of Austria had her orators
to refute mine, but we ended tho dlpute
by n war." Can anything be plainer?
It propares us for tho Injunction which
follows, nnd which Bismarck has rigid
ly obeyed. "Try," says the great Prus
sian moralist, "to win thoso who have
tho gift of expressing themselves in
ambiguous terms and susceptible of a
double meaning."
This pamphlet, which reminds ono
of tho "man without n country," fur
nishes the key to Prussian policy; nnd
we seo lu current events Iho animating
spirit of tiie most unprincipled, crafty,
cruel, and selfish monarch of modern
times, whom the historian has satirized
by culling him "great." Philadelphia

When tho armies nro in tho front nnd

tho hulk of that sect is located in Iho

truo that tho church of Latter Day
