THURSDAY EVHNINO, AUG. 4, 1881. A LANCASTRIAN IN SCOTLAND Majer II. F. Urencnian's Observations ou the Lund of Bcet ami Burns. The following extract from a private letter received by a gentleman in this office from Maj. B. F. Breneniau, at Edin Edin Edin bere' will be read, we knew, with much interest by his many friends in Lancaster and elsewhere. Eds. Intelliucncer. My tinie has been se much taken up with sight seeing and traveling that I have hardly a moment left for letter-writing. I have new about iiuished up my travels in Scotland, aud I feel well repaid for the amount of- time I devoted te it. I fuel very sure that no ether ceuutry in tile world can fascinate me as has this, nor can I understand why it is that Americans in traveling will pass a day or two in Scotland, and then hurry off te the conti nent. I have spciit about two weCks here and thcre is much for me yet te sec. In this city alene one could spend weeks. I have no doubt that it is the hand somest eity in the world. It is literally filled with the most magnificent monu ments, which greet the oye in every direc tion. Its churches and charitable institu tions, and all of themest costly aud elab orate character, line every street. The university, parliament house, cellege of surgeons, mufcutn, library, high school, picture gallery, Royal bank are all monu ments of architectural skill and taste. And then what interest centres around such hallowed and historical spots as old St. Giles's, where repese the remains of that great reformer Jehn Knox or his quaint old house, where from the wiudew he preached te the crowd en the street belew. Then the old castle frowning down from the summit of the rock -150 feet high ; Holyrood palace with all its sad associations but I might go en and fill pages with the many places of iutcrcst here, all of which you are familiar with from hi&tery, but which you never fully realize until you come face te face with them. Glasgow, tee, has many places of interest and is a great cily, but entirely different. There all is rush, bustle and business. The tall chimneys of her im im mense lactenes are almost as numerous as are monuments here. Thcre three-fourths ! of all the iron aud eccau stcamslifcls of the United Kingdom are built and manu facturing of all kinds is carried en te a great exteut, white here thcre is but little business. Everything appears te be books,, art and antiquity. Among tint ether towns and cities of interest which I have visited, Stirling is one of the niebt inteiesting. Its old castle is eik; of the most interesting I have seen, aud from its battery the finest view in all Scotland is ebtaiticd, every feet of which is histor ical. While drinking in this graud pano rama, with the battlefields of Stirling, Banneckburu, Bridge of Allan and the winding river Ferth all spread out before me I was greeted with the familiar voices of our mutual friends, Dr. aud Mrs. Brown. 1 can assure you I was glad te see them. W hava been together crcr since. My trip through the Northern Highlands, by way of the Lake aud Cal edonian canal, was grand beyond dfcsciip dfcsciip tieu. At Inverness I attended the ure.it sheep aud wool fair. The town was eiowd eiewd cil with people aud as they werc all High landers, many of them appearing in their picturesque cost uujcs,I thought I had never seen se' liue a looking body of inen. As this is tee far North for the regular liue of travel wc were about the only Ameri cans there, aud they gave u a hearty wel come. As it does net get daik up in that ceuutry till after ten o'clock and the sun is up again at little after three, we kept the fair up till daylight. We all hoped it might be our geed fortune te incet the wool growers of the Highlands at their next fair. My time will net permit me giving you au account of my trip through the Tresachs or the many ether interest ing trips I have had, se I will close by saying 1 like the country, aud I like tlie people, because they arc honest. Every thing they de is honest. Thair reads are the best ; their buildings are the best ; their babies are the best behaved, best looking aud best shaped of all the babies I have ever met. 1 think this is owing te their being raised entirely out of doers. The Indian Question. A Vigorous Denunciation of Our Ge em inent .Policy. The following extracts from a private letter received by an attache of the Intel Intel lieenckii will be read with interest by all who feel concerned in that knotty prob lem of the day, the treatment of the In diaus by the United States government. The writer is Mr. James E. Cunningham; well known in this community, a seu of the late Themas Cunningham, and a cousin of Mrs. J. 11. Johnsten, of this city, and new of the engineering staff of the Mexican Central railway, with head quarters at EI Pase, Tex. Our readers may remember that at the time of the ro re ccnt massacre of the American enginccrs by the marauding Apaches, grave fears wero entertained by his friends in this city that Mr. Cunningham had been among the slain, but this apprehension is happily dispelled by tbe vigorous and characteristic epistl, in which the writer's scathing denunciation of the Indian policy of the government speaks his sentiments upon a topic that is of vital and general concern te the American people. Coming from ene who has had such amplt oppor tunities for observation, with the intelli gence and judgment qualifying him te form a correct opinion, the viaws express ed below twill doubtless be read with at tention. Ed8. Intelligencer. . I am still alive and well, having only reached here en my return from the East, five days after the massacre which, I grieve te say, was true in some particulars, fiv 1 of my friends, with whom I had been aa- 4 SOf&ted hj close intimacy, mere or less, fWtJferpaSfc two yfeirs, hlSftng b'eenmur- dered and robbed by Apaches while en their way back te Pase del Norte. They were coming in here te take new positions, and left the camp, ever a hundred miles below here, in geed spirits and with bright anticipations, aud nothing mere is known of them except what their murdered bodies and the burned wagon could tell te theso who went out te bury them. Theirs was a sad fate, iudced, aud their deaths stand out as one mere among the thou sands of similar cases which speak te the Amcriean government for some solution of our Indian question, which has been such .1 eurse te this section for se many years. Tlie Indians who did this work are known te have been Americau Indians, from the Sau Carles reservation, allowed te co me off their reservation by the im becility of the agent there, aud who, their work of rapine and murder done, will go back there and be received again without being questioned as te their actions while out. Gov. Tcrrasez, of Chihuahua, who is here at present, say3 that he has lest ever 800 head of horses and cattle in the last few j cars, aud he has it from cyo cye witucsscs that thcre are both horses and oattle at San Carles te day with his brand ou them, showing that the Indiaus have no treuble in disposing of their plunder upon their return, flie Apaches who kill ed our boys-took all the American money they could find upon the bodies, but tore the Mexican money into small pieces, thus showing that only Ameiicau money was of any value te them. I wonder hew long the people of the East, misled by the idiotic mauntlcriiigs of such feeble-minded creatures as the authors of " Max's Under Seul," and such like productions, will al low themselves te he robbed and their countrymen murdered, their homes de stroyed and their women ravished, in or der te maintain a race of red-handed mur derers, "because of a fancied notion that, as the original owners of the soil, they ought te receive consideration at our hands. This theme is an inoxhausfible one, Herb, and I.jl give you a rest en it, but I would like te turn about twenty of these fellows loose in the states for a littlp while, just te see if publie opiuien would net undergo seme change iu regard te the manner of treating the gcutlcmeu. A Maine Weman who Kuews About Farming. Lewisteii Journal. A brown-faced and pleasant-looking woman, with a short, well-built figure and firm step fastened a plump, bay herse in front of the Bosten tea store, aud tossed a molasses jug out of her wagon. She were a widow's veil and shawl. " There," said ageutleraan, " is one of the most wender-1 ful women iu the ceuutry, Mra. Osaoed of Minet Centre, the woman farmer." Se when Mrs. Osgood came out of the stere we asked her : " Hew much hay will you cut this year e ' fP-l,-rt .- Itft.i.,,. f.c? T'.r., ...ll .,l...,t six tens already. I commenced mewing at 7 o'clock this morning, aud mewed most of the forenoon. I spread thirty-five com mon stacks of hay, and after diuncr I get iu four geed oue-herso leads iu season te get down here at 1 o'clock and market a let of berries." " De you cut your hay with a machine or a scythe V" "Beth ; I can mew either way. I have a 0110-1101-30 mower." " De you have any help ?" "Only what I get from the children. There's a girl of 14 years and a boy of 11 years who help me a little." "Is the girl going te make a farmer ?" "1 den t knew. I want te make a farmer of her, but she says she don't like the idea very well " " Hew much of a farm have you '."' "I have new about forty acres. I have planted this year half an aero of onions, two acres of potatoes, and three-fourths of an aero of beans, aud sewed half an arc of eats. I have dene all the work myself. -I have run the farm five years, and I haven't paid out a cent, net ene cent, for help, aud Iaiu'tgeing te, either. Last winter I went down in the weeds and cut and teamed eat ten cords of cord cord weed." "Dees your farm pay well?" " Yes; it's beginning te iy pretty well new. It was all run down when I carau thcre and commenced work. It only cut hay enough for a cow and a horse. New it cuts twclve tens. See the differ ence ? I have dug out the rocks and lev eled off the fields with iny own hands, se I shau't be thrown out when I ride my mewing machine I keep two cows, a herse aud a let of sheep, and thcre are a let of hens running around." Mrs. Osgood is a woman who liuds time between the planting her acres of potatoes 4 airau;neu, mewing ;i uezuu ions 01 nay, chopping ten cords of weed in snow knee deep, aud all the hard work of ruuniug a forty acre farm, te take care of the milk of two cows, make butter and bread, aud de all the kneading, cooking and sewing en buttons for a family.ef children. A Denpcrate Struggle with Thieves. Daniel Shea, of Mulberry street,, New Yerk, was assaulted by three thieves at his threshold aud almost cut te pieces with a dagger. It appears that the thieves had broken into Shea's rooms for purposes of robbery. Mrs. Shea, who was the only ene thcre, made an outcry which was heard by neighbors. Werd was immedi ately conveyed te Shea, who was net far away, and he started for the house. At the street deer he met the thieves and he seized the first, who was the largest. The thief, with an oath, attempt ed te shake him 01T, but failing, drew a long knife and plunged it into Shea's body. The thief s two companions tugged at his victim, endeavoring te frce the villain from his grasp, but he held bravely en, his shouts for help mingling with cries of pain as'the knife was plunged again and again I into his body by the ruffian. At the sixth Pll II.- J 1 ?--! 1 -! , mew iue uagger was uuneu in ms Blue 10 the hilt. Shea sank exhausted, but se de termined was his grasp that the murderer, f as lie suoeK ou ins Durden and lied, left ene of the sleeves of his blue flannel Bhirt in his victim's hands. The three thieves fled together, but seen separated. The the man with the knife, being pur sued by a large crowd and the police, was seen captured. The wounded man was taken with the prisoner te the police station, where the latter was identified by his uietim. Shea was then taken te the hospital. The desperado gave his name as Jaines A.

"Well, Colonel Ochiltree," said Jehn Russcl Yeung, gaziug at the blue ring of smeke just expelled from his lips, between which a Rcina Victeria was balanced, "de you mind telling us hew you eame te do de sort from the ranks of journalism ?'' Tem Ochiltree, carefully sitting down his glass 6Perricr Jeuet, said : "What, boys ! did I never tell you that story ? Why, it's ene of the most remarkable events of my life ! When Yeung first knew me I can say with out conceit that I was a star of the first inagtiitudft in rlw literary firmament. I had a proprietary interest in a real live paper down in Texas. The Housten I'deyraph was a morning and evening paper, had a weekly edition, aud was Iho leader of pub pub Ee opinion all ever the Seuth. I tell you that when a man quoted the Housten Tele graph he was'Iisteueil te, and the paper was celebrated for its truthfulness aud terse English wherever that Ianguage is spoken and don't you forget it ! It was a big paper, and we were doing se well, subscriptions and advertisements coming iu se fast that I thought it would be a fair tiling te have a little relaxation in the way of spending a few siinniur months in Eu mpe. It isn't a bad thing en the ether stde te be known as the editor of a prominent newspaper iu America and I seen found myself sought alter, ami perhaps- tee con spicuous, which is net at all in my line. Well Jim Bennett and I were strolling down the boulevard 0110 evening smoking our cigars, after a geed dinner at the Cafe Anglais. Wc had three or four dukes and a I'ottple of carls with us, and, I think, a baronet or se (Jim is partial te English no blemen), when Bennett suddenly halted the whole party at the telegraph office un der the Grand Hetel, saying : "Held en dukes ; I have a big dispatch te send te the New Yerk Herald just handed me by my French correspondent." We all filed iu and crowded the office, while the dukes and carls wondered at the prodigal expenditures of the young Ameri can editor. I was'nt going te he behind hand as an American editor, se says I, " Hew much will the telegram cost." " Sixty thousand five hundred francs," says the operator, "and dirt cheap, tee." Says I : " Duplicate the despatch te the Housten TelcyrapJi. With your permission Jim," says I. ' By Gerd ! gentlemen, the whole thing was telegraphed te lexas four column solid anil the Housten Telegraph went te pretest the next day. I haven't been taking much interest in newspapers since.
