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

" 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

Last winter I went down in the weeds and

" Yes; it's beginning te iy pretty

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

The the man with the knife, being pur

companies for violation of the
rules of the department. Mr. Smeych
demurred te the passage of the resolution
and wanted te have specified the particu
lar rule which had been trausgrcsscd by
the offending companies. Mr. Cox aud
ethers answered that councils bad nothing
te de with that matter just new. The
chief engineer is allowed te impose lines
in his discretion, and it is the business of
councils te sustain that officer. Thcn,if the
company upon whom a fine is imposed
fcel aggrieved, it can appeal its case te
councils, and the matter will then receive
full and fair inquiry at the hands of the
committee having the direction of fire
matters. The resolution was adopted,
Mr. Smeych. alene voting 'no ; select coun
cil concurred in the action of common
council.

"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.
