Ano fixer Lot OnLos-.Aboriginal Dais a n d
Bears.
We chronicled some time ago the result of a
reportorial interview with Spotted Tail, Swift
Bear and Fast Bear. To-day we enjoyed a
survey of another sgt of Los. They are high
Los. Like our Spotted Tailed friend they are
Sioux Indians. They come from their hunt
ing-grounds at the mouth of the Big Cheyenne
river, some eight miles distant from Fort
Sully.
They ain't handsome. If to be frightfully
ugly were to involve capital punishment,
these Injuns would deserve to be hung imme
diately. They are ill-visaged, ill-savored and
unkempt. Their names are Black
.ruining Tomahawk
,uning Bull, Pretty Bear, •Four Bears, lied
eather and Little Swan. They arrived on
Saturday - at-the-Continental:—Major-Randall,-
U. S. A., has charge of them, while their lingo
is rendered into English by two interpreters,
commissioned for the purpose. Their present
introduction to civilization is also their first.
'They started from their wilderness to Wash
ington on the 23d of June. They leave to
night for their homes on the Cheyenne.
These people are chiefs of their respdctive
tribes. If their blood be of a better hue than
that of the canaille among them r a Sioux In
dian can be set down oftly as ugliness incar
nate. The fellow called Pretty Bear in, point
of hideousness; takes down the whole
party. None of them know a word of English.
Their lingo seems to contain no labials. It is
made up wholly, of gutterals and grunts. Of
the Indian tongue, including such melodious
polysyllables as Tallahassee, Tuscaloosa or
Conewingo, this reporter has never heard a
syllable. Thus is the case although - he - has - seen
Apalachicola, Conestoga and Tennessee—
though be has lieen
4 -*—W-liern-liinpabannock-eveetly-sloona
On green Virginia's breast.' '
The parlance of these Sioux is simply a
succession of inharmonious sounds. Com
pared to it the Magyar is music and the
Japanese is Runic rhyme. - We heard the one
from the lips of Kossuth and the other from
those of the Japanese who came among us,
beginning with the leading dignitary of the
embassy and leaving off with the immortal
Tommy.
The Indian may be impressible. If so, it is
only upon ocular evidence that he parts with
his preconceived convictions or facts and
figures. These Indians claim to be friendly to
the Government. While the interpreters
assert this, they at the same time seem to feel
as if in accompanying this aboriginal embassy
they were doing duty as tenders to a human
caravan.
In the appearance of these Indians there is
nothing even suggestive of the romantic. No
King Philip, Osceola or Tecumseh is repre
sented by any of the six swarthy bipeds now
sojourning at the Continental. In the horse
tail hair and dirty moccasins of these visitors
there is very little to • call forth sentiment or
- ingliite enthusiasm. - As -- a - seat - thw - people

them an wonlWonlybe necessary to

feather bed. To people living as these -In
dians do a soft bed is an "abomination. Just as
these Indians choose to sleep at the Conti.
nental we saw Kit Carson sleeping at the
Astor House, in New York, some twenty
_years ago. Running Bear got into a rocking
chair by aecident. He told the interpreter
that if the Irish, waiter who supplied it would
-disclose his identity, that waiter would appear
at the supper table this evening without his
scalp.
The Indian that looks the most wicked of
the bunch is said to be the best. If any one
has noticed a large-sized tomato after a cart
wheel -- has - -passed -- over it,- -he will get,
110 a bad idea of the mouth of 'our
frie - nd Four Bears. Having never come
-into-= =contact -with . rum -- or— missionaries,
these Indians are permitted, for their stomach's
sake, indulgence in various refreshments.
The weakness of Running Bull is for sherry
cobblers. Having imbibed one, he pats his
abdomen. He then asks for more. The man
ner in which Bull does this is bully. Old
Black Tomahawk has a way of collaring a
cobbler that alike indicates natural art and
uneducated gulp. The Indians are using alike
their eyes and their palates. Hitherto they
had never seen steamer or locomotive. The
only items in civilization in which they were
posted were gunpowder and the game of
" seven-up," or, " High, Lo, Jack's the game."
The government deems them to be disaf
fected. In that apprehension our reporter
shares. The object of the great father is the
object of the lady who took the little boy to
the closet where she kept the castigatory cane
—to let these Indians understand that their
operation as a society for the promotion of the
wig trade has been pronounced to be penal.
That they are somewhat astonished at what
they have thus far seen is the pronounced
opinion of the interpreters by whom they were
accompanied. "Four Bears" claims to be a
philanthropist, disposed to lot every man wear
his own hair. For his amiability he shows a
voucher as thus :
"POUT PITTMAN, Dacotah Territory, June
12, 1863.—The bearer, Mah-to-to-poli, is one of

Comparing these Indians with our personal
acquaintance, Spotted Tail, the latter possesses
immense advantage. Spotty sported a pocket
handkerchief. It he tomahawked a man, we
think he would do thepeeling with Indian
like propriety. The scalp taken by either of
the firm of Pretty Bear &. Co., we fear, would
tan badly. Spotty, beside, made an occasional
washing bill. He knew what the.segentlemen
seem to disregard—the difference between a
clean and a badly soiled shirt.
Our reporter now hopes that the gentle and
deftly contrived intimidation of these savages
may-prove intimidation in. reality. We hope
this, even if every wig-maker In the 'country
should go into insolyency, and toupees and
topknots be in the market at a discount.

like one not Alead, but slumbering.

.in the final conflict no marks -of the strug

over the cold clay by Rev. Robert Ritchie, a
nephew and namesake of the deceased. Com
modore Ritchie solved the dread secret of
eternity at the expense of much physical suf
fering. -1u -the family -place -of interment
at Laurel Hill, he was this morning
consigned to rest. No "squad," awkward or
accomplished, fired over his grave. At his
burial, as had been desired by him, the many
naval gentlemen, by whom he was known
and loved, made no official recognition.
A SINGULAR AND SUDDEN DEATH.—III the
Natatorium, Broad street, died this morning,
as she might have sank upon the sidewalk,
from what is supposed to have been disease of
the heart, Miss Kate Kilduff, a resident of No.
524 Spruce street, this city. The young lady
was about 22 years of age. She was an ac
complished-:-swimmer. in: company With a
coterie, who were regular visitors to the Na
tatoriumShe this morning indulged in her
usual swim. She entered the broad pool at
its deepest part, and 61eft -the water as ex
pert swimmers alone can - cleave it. Mid
way in the centre of the basin she'vrent under.
She did not again arise alive. Her _body waN
raised to - the surface, and Drs. Wood, Dyer
and Pan coast were - very promptly summoned.
The body was immediately submitted to the
action of electricity. Most sedulously and
tenderly, for two hours, these gentlemen la
bored in the baffled endeavor to reanimate
what proved to be lifeless clay. The formality
of an inquest will lie the order of to-day.
AN IMPOSTOR GOING HIS ROUNDEL-011 Sa
turday afternoon a colored man called •at- the
reSidetiCre' of Mr. Hiram Poole, N 0.1016 Wood
street, and represented himself as belonging to
the Board of Health, and announced that his
business was to inquire into the condition of
the cess-pool. Not desiring to interfere with a
city thellliselffirge'briiiS — diltreVthe
fellow was permitted to make hie pretended
examination, but watching his opportunity, he
stole a pocket-book containing $l6 50, and
escaped before his real character became
known. The same scoundrel robbed the resi
dence of a friend of Mr. Poole in like manner,
and in another instance he took some carpets
out to shake, and neither negro nor carpet has
been seen since. He is a young and tall negro,
and wore a net undershirt and black cap. He
has not yet been arrested, and housekeepers
should keep a look-out for him.
BURGLARS FOILED.—An attempt was made
last evening, between 8 and 9 o'clock, to enter
the premises No. 245 North Seventeenth street.
The back window-shutters were forced open,
but a guard being over the sash compelled the
burglars to break a pane of glass. The noise
was beard by a neighbor, who gave the alarm.
At the same time one of the inmates of the
house entered. The burglars hearing him ran
down the alley and escaped. It was fortuuate
for them that they did not enter the house, as
the gentleman who sleeps there is prepared
for such visitors.
A FionT AT POINT AlRY.—Yesterday after
noon a party of men, named Thomas King, a
diver, and two brothers named Michael
Noodles and Billy Noodles; got into a fight at
Point Airy, during which. Michael Noodles

at the time, when the entire party were arrest

the Times Enid : _
• We do not charge the Dublin 'jurymen with
disloyalty, complicity with crime, or even
timid subservienty to the threats of an excited
populace, but we have no hesitation in saying
that by the verdict at which they arrived on
Saturday evening they have borne the most
emphatic testimony to their incompetence for
the discharge of their duty as jurors. Doubt
less, as we have hinted, they would- not be
sorry to be relieved from those functions, and
it may be that the present folly and mischief
are seriously meant to discredit a system some
what burdensome to,. the wellAo:do tradesmen
of the Irish metropolis. We say nothing of
the moral obliquity which could condone mur
derous crime and violate the solemn obliga
tion to do public justice for such a paltry end
as this; but we have a right to remind-jury
men in Ireland that their duties are correla
tives of privilcges which they prize and with
Which they would not readily part. The! ad ,
_ ministration of_criminal_justice_inireland.has
always been rendered difficult by the timidity
of some, by the obstinacy and ill-faith of
others. The acquit of Barrett, at open
variance with pro facts and with the
common judgment of the public, has crowned
the edifice of absurdity, and will, per
haps, compel attention o an evil which
craves nu immediate remedy. If life
and property are to be made toler
ably secure in Ireland, the energy of law must
be practically asserted ; and if the system of
trial by jury, traditionally revered ,among us.
be found to fail after repeated experience in
the, sister island, it surely becomes us not. ,to
acquiesce in the defeat of the law, but to de
vise a more stringent system, better fitted for
a country where passions run so high andpub
lie duties are so lightly regarded. If we are to
legislate fur Irishmen on the supposition that
they are incapable of making contracts by
which they may be justly bound, we may have
to consider - whether they-are capable of dis
_sharging the duties of jurymen.

of them. 1 saw at one station aparty of -Mrs.

These Shoshones are the laziest and best

possess skill, or knowledge, or ambition enough
to build any kind of a permanent' shelter from
the inclemency of the weather at any season.
At midwinter they will go out on the hillside,
in a driving snow-storm, pile up a lot of sage
brush in a semi-circle, say, three feet high and
ten feet across, to break the wind, and, build

men, women, and naked babies—and shiver
there all night long. They are allowed to ride
back and forth on the freight cars, and the
locomotives and tenders of the passenger
trains, and evidently regard the railroad as just
what it is—a perfect godsend to them, since it
puts them out of the way of starvation, and
insures them a living without even the pre

Wall Report of His Remarks.
From a complete report of Casteliar's great
speech on emancipation we translate the fol
lowing passage as an addition to the remarks
by this eloquent Republican, which we re
ported a few days ago :
I wish to present you another example of a
decided purpose to accomplish gradual aboli
tion, which was forced to conclude by imme
diate abolition. I refer to the example of
America. * * * * The Puritans are the
patriarchs of liberty; they opened a new
world on the earth ; - they opened a new
path for,- the human conscience: they
created 4, new society. Yet, when En
gland tried to subdue them and they conquered,
the republic triumphed, and Slavery remained.
Washington could only emancipate his slaves.
Franklin said that the Virginians could not
inVoke the name of God, retaining Slavery.
Jay said that all the prayers America sent up
to HeaVett for the preservation of liberty,
while Slavery continued, were mere blas
phemies.. Mason mourned over the payment
his descendants must make for this great crime
of their fathers. Jetii3rson traced the line
where the black wave of Slavery should be
staved.
Nevertheless, Slavery increased continually.
I beg that you will pause a moment to con
sider the man who cleansed this terrible stain
which obscured the stars of the American
banner. I beg that you will pause a tnoment,
for his immortal name has here been invoked
for the perpetuation of Slavery. Ah ! the past
century has not, the century to come will not
have, a figure so grand, because as evil dit4
appears, so disappears heroism also.
I have often contemplated and described his
life. Born in a cabin of Kentucky, of parents
who could hardly read; born a new Moses - in
the solitude of the desert, where are forged
all great and obstinate thoughts, monotonous
like the desert, and, like - the desert, sublime ;
'growing up among those - primeval forests,
which, with their fragrance, send a cloud of
incense, and, with their murmurs, a cloud of
prayers to Heaven; a boatman at eight years
in the impetuous current of the Ohio, and at
seventeen in the vast and tranquil waters of
the Mississippi; later, a woodman, with axe
and arm felling the immemorial trees to open
a way to unexplored 'regions for his tribe
of wandering workers; reading no
other book. than the .Bible-the book
.of great sorrows and great hopes -dic
tated often by prophets to the sound of fetters
they dragged. through Nineveh and Babylon.;
• a child of - Nature, in a word, by one of those
miracles only . eomprehensible among free peo
ples, he fought for the country, and was raised
by his fellow-citizens to the. Congress at Wash

their eyes here and oppose every profound and

came. When -a man of the wisdom and politi

other matters which ho tells, there is no rea
son to doubt that part of his story relating to
Mrs. Field. Little Robe, with other Arra- .
pahoe and Chey,enne Chiefs, was invited by
the Kioway and Comanche Indians to attend
a " noeditine dance" and council; held by • the
latter at a point forty miles south of the Ante
lope Hills,
_in this Territory, and he .affirms'
that - the KioWays held out every inducement,
.. to-their-Cheyenne_ brothers to accompany
them-on the war-pith against the whites.
These overtures, Little Robe says that be
and some other old
_men of his tribe stead-.
lastly declined, saying that : they had war long
enough with the Is bites, whom they found
-too-numerous-to cope , with, and -said that as
king as they were treated justly they desired
to-remain at peace ; that he advised his young
men not to involve themselves in another
war, which would inevitably end as did the
campaign of 1868--&...). The Rioways, finding
they could not effect a general alliance,
boasted they would commit such depredations'
as would involve the Cheyennes in spite of
themselves; they desired Little Robe to tell
the, whites that it was they who carried
off 3lrs. and they wished -- we
should know it. He says they described her
as having beautiful long hair; that she was
horseback, and, when surrounded by the Kio
ways, kept discharging.a'revolver,with which,
for a considerable - timeishe - kept - herrassait= -
ants off, until at length she fell, having her leg
broken by a bullet. In this condition they
captured her, carried her a considerable dis
tance, to where there was some timber, tied
her to a tree, scalped her alive, and left her to
die of starvation and her wounds. Their in
human instincts told them that this would be
greater torture than any they could invent.
This is Little Robe's story, and the events
occurring since go to prove that it is most
likely too true. A half-breed, who is an ex
cellent interpreter, and was present at the
council, corroborates the statement, and it
only remains to decide whether the Kto ways
made an idle boast or have really perpetrated
this fiendish outrage. Add to this the more
recent entry of the Mail-station between Fort
Dodge and Camp Supply, under the guise
of friendship, where four men and a
sergeant were stationed, and the trea
cherous slaughter of three of the party,
the other two only escaping by locking them
selves in a room till rescued by the timely
arrival of Major Kidd and a detachment of the
Tenth Cavalry, and I trust that the Eientimen
tal friends of the " poor Indian," who have
never had other introduction to their idols
than that given by Fenimore Cooper or
Beadle, will remember these circumstances in
case any of their proteges don't happen to be
vaccinated, and do happen to get hurt between
this and next Christmas.

The Approaching Rowing Match.
[From the Pittsburgh Commercial.]
The constant topic of conversation in aquatic
circles is the female regatta, which is to take
place at Glenwood Grove on the Kith instant,
on the occasion of the first annual picnic of
the Nonpareil Club. The contestants have all
been practising in scull-boats for the past two
weeks, and large crowds gather almost every
evening on the upper bridge and along the
banks of the Monongahela to see the girls
practice. They manifest considerable skill in
the handling of the' oars, and all appear to
have the spirit necessary for an exciting race.
At the present time the contestants, so far as
known, are Miss Lotta McAlice,Miss Maggie
Lue and Mary Whalen.
Miss Mc*.lice, as has been previously stated,
is a member of the Max Moorhead Boat Club,
and is practising constantly in the vicinity of
Soho. The club will move their boat-house up
to Glenwood on the day of the race. Miss
McAlice is an orphan, and resides- with a
brother-in-law and sister on Second avenue, in
the Eighth Ward. She is about fifteen years
of age, good-looking, and weighs 109 pounds.
On the day of the race she will wear a red
jacket and white dress. She will row in an
elegant cedar boat.
Mary Whalen is receiving instructions in
the use of the oar from the members of the
Beck Chili, and has been improving_ rapidly
during the past few days. She resides with
her parents in a floating house near the Beck
boat-house, and has been familiar with skiffs
since she was a little girl. She is about 18
years of age, black hair and eyes, and good
looking. ler weight is 119 pounds. She
rowed six miles in rough water yesterday,
using a cedar scull boat. Her boat is cedar
thirty-two feet long and twelve and one-hall:
inches wide; weight, thirty-seven potindic.
She will wear a light buff dress and does not
propose to encumberiberself with a jacket.
Miss Maggie Lue is
.a fine-looking, auburn
haired girl, about sixteen years_ old, and re
sides with her parents in Brownstown. She
is a protege of the Chambers Club, and may
be seen leaving their boat-house in a scull
every evening. She has a fine'cedar boat, and
.handles it with no small - degree of skill. She
has an advantage over her opponents in one
' respect, and that is she.weighs 130 pounds.
She will wear a white dress and bluejacket.
The committee have decided that all the
contestants must be at the Grove at 1 o'clock
to arrange prellininaries and appoint judges
- and - referee — N o-boats--,ex-cept-ceclar-or-pitie
will' be allowed in the regatta, as it is impasse
ble for all the girls' to obtain pitedr boats.

near Fortress Monroe, to settle upon his land,
near Hampton, Va. Mr. Butler said that in

"Blessed is be who can pocket abuse, and
ain't ashamed to be bitten by a Borg." He sel
dom rose to reply to a mere personal attack
but he thought,this, statement ought not to-go

500 negroes • were , pat r ' upon the fartiv
of a rebel colonel near Fortress Monroe.
They were recently .ejected 4 from the farm;

been used for the purpose, though not under

their occupancy these negro es had transformed!
what was a desert into a. garden, so that;the
owner'steadily refused toliell to any -person.
Under thelie 'circumstances" he had been
applied to by a gentleman in behalf of these
homeless. Happening to have some land
near by, which he (Butler) had obtained
under a foreclosure of a mortgage, he had con
spited that some two hundred of them might
go on it. Thus, instead of ejecting them, ho
had in fact, provided them with homes. He

CITY NOTICES.
Flow TO LOOK YOUNG---SLiTEEN.--DOK't
paint or use vile Bair Restorers, but simply apply
liagan's Magnolia Balm ution'your face, neck and hands,
and use Lyon's Kathairon upon your hair. The Balm
makes yeti complexion pearly, soft and natural, and
yon can't tell what did It. It removes freckles, tan
sallowness, ring-marks, tuoth-patehes, etc.; and in place
of a red, rustic face, you have the marble purity of an
exquisite belle. It gives to middle ago the bltioici pf
perpetual youth. Add these effects to a splendid head bf
hair produced by the Kathairon, and a lady has done
he best in the way of adornment. Brothers will have
no spinster sisters when these articles are around.
SOME JAM OUT OF A JAIL—The young, lady
who walked all over the city in the vain pursuit of a pint
of the milk of human kindness, has been more success.
NI in getting a little jam out of the jar of a door. She
got the jam on her fingers. She might have procured
some jam up coal at the Great National Depot of Messrs.
Mitchell & Wroth, Northeast comer of Ninth and
Girard avenue. That White Ash coal which they are
selling at 83 76 is certainly the cheapest coal in the
