The publication of the projected treaty submitted by the Freuch to the Prussian government, after the treaty of Prague, and while the Lnx- embourg affair was pending, has nat- urally created quite a sensation in Eu- rope. In the London Times, of the 25th, the points of this remarkable document are thus set forth, The pre- able declares that the King of Prus- sin and the Emperor of the French, in order to strengthen the ties of friend- ship between the two government and peoples, hereby conclude the subjoined treaty. In the first article, Napoleon admits and recognizes the late acqui- sitions of Prussia from Austria, In the second, the Prussian King en- gages to faciliate the French acquisi- tion of Luxembourg. In the third, the Emperor acquiesces in the union of the North and South German States, Austria excepted. In the fourth, France, finding it necessary to absorb Belgium, Prussia lends her assistance to that measure. The fifth article the usual one of offensive and defensive alliance between the two nations, A dispatch from Brussels, under date of July 25th, states that the above sketch of the treaty is perfectly authentic, and that the Belgium government knew of its existence a few months ago, Further light is shed upon this trans- action by the London Telegraph, which journal avers that on a late oc- casion, Napoleon related the contents of the dispatches, which passed be. tween himself and Bismarck on this division of territory, claiming that the latter wanted too muel and wanted it too soon. The Emperor demanded Luxembourg in 1866, as an equivalent tor the neutrality of France in Prus- sia’s war with Austria. Bismarck re- plied by a demand for Holland, as an equivalent for Luxembourg. To this The divide was not equal, Prussia was getting the lion's share of the spoils, and hence the whole treaty fell to the ground. If these details be true, and the Times offers to verily them in the most substantial manner, it puts Napoleon ind Bismarck before the world in the aspect of heartless, gigantic robbers. One proposed a plan for seizing and appropriating the main portion of Central Europe, and the other spoils the arrangement by being too greedy for the plunder. Prussia was to have all the fruits of the war of 1866 guar- antee, and France was to absorb Luxembourg. Then Napoleon was to lay hands upon Belgium, and, in re- turn for this, Bismarck demanded Holland. To this proposition Napo- leon demurred. It was wauting too much and wanting it too soon. The wily head of the French Empire saw that if Luxembourg and Belgium and Holland were all gobbied up at one meal, other nations would take the alarm, and far the little game of the remorseless marauders. Kugland could not stand idly by and see Belgium de- spoiled of her rights, while more than one nation would put in a protest for Holland. gQuch a rapid progress on the part of Prussia would also arouse the Russian bear, and his growl on the frontier must be answered, or a war would follow. But Bismarck knew the schemer he had to deal with, and insisted upon cent ver cent in all the transactions. No Holland for Prus- sia, no Luxembourg for France was his ultimatum. And there the mat. ter ended. In the mean time, both Napoleon and Bismarck plotted and toiled to win the inside track, Bis- marck held a tight grip upon the Schlesweg-Holstein provinces, and re- pudiated the treaty of Prague. All the small German States and princi- palities were also gathered in to swell the strength of Prussia, and prepare her for the contest. Napoleon at the game time drew Italy closer to his side, and made it the interest of Austria to follow him rather than Bismarck. At the same time his agents were busy in Denmark, and the enslaved provinces of that nation preparing the people for a French alliance when the day of ac- tion arrived. Such a state of affairs could not continue long without pro- ducing a war. The Hohenzollern can- didacy for the throne of Spain was a convenient pretext, and upon that the torch of war was lighted, and French- men and Prussians are now engaged in deadly combat. : But these developements put a di ferent fuce upon the whole war, bot jin a national and personal point of view. These land robbers will be called to the bar of nations to explain the reason why, in a secret manner, they attempted to perfect a game of wholesale plunder. In the house of Lords, recently, Earl Granville said that after the announcement of the existence of such a remarkable docu- ment, it would be the duty of I'rance and Prussia immediately and sponta- neously to explain the matter to Eu- rope ; and Mr, Gladstone, in the Com- . 18 € ‘ mons, remarked that doubtless the powers implicated would explain the mystery. Russia will not remain si. lent when her attention is called to the men as Napoleon and Bismarck. Had they combined in regard to Central Europe the tide of aggression would soon have widened, and other powers felt its injurious effects. As this war is now shown to be an offspring of the Napoleon Bismarck game of 1866, the people of both France and Germany can see how little they will gain by the sacrifice®of thousands of human beings, and the expenditure of millions of money wrung from their bard earn- ings. Two ambitious men, caring nothing for the rights of others, con- cocted a game to despoil neighboring states of their territory, quarreled over the spoils, and have now plunged France and Prussia in a war, the end of which no man ean foretell. This is the real history of the Franco-Prussian war,and in this light it will be viewed by all truly impartial persons, — Age. Ap lf pn PEDDLING PESTILENCE. Discovery of the Greatest Crime the World Ever Known. Distributing Small Pox all Gver the American Continent— Terrible Rav- ages of the Disease Among the Indi ans— Speculators Shipping Indian Buffalo Skins to the States. During the past year, it has recent- ly been developed, circumstances have transpired in the yellow country which will create indignation and alarm throughout the whole Union. A crime has been committed which excels in diabolism anything which the history of the world has ever pro- duced, and which places such fiends as Probst and his compeers in crime in the light of moderate offenders. A few men, for the purpose of accumula- ting fortunes, have attempted to scat- ter throughout the United States robes which are known to be infested with small pox. This has been done pre. meditateldy and knowingly, and with full knowledge that in doing so they Bt | ———— Se SA day, August — I ot Many died and the most agonizing suffering prevailed. In the house of De Roche at one time there were ten persons in bed afflicted with the con. houses were closed nnd the city seemed to be doomed to desolation and death. In the face of this horrible visitation those who had engaged in the unholy traffic did not desist. They asserted that the place was alive with small- pox, and that, as it could be no worse, the arrival and storage of the robes could make no difference. And this, in the very midst of death, disolation and despair, THESE HUMAN VULTURES, continuing their pestilence breeding, death dealing occupation! There is one incident connected with this start. ling horror which places a white vie- tim in an attitude which, though he may not have known the full extent of the consequences of his act, was cer- tainly a most fiendish one, and which was the cause of a greater destruction of life than the circumstances we have mentioned. This man, while he was suffering with the disease, obtained two yeast-cans and FILLED THEM BOTH WITH SCABS, As soon as he was able to do so, he took an old shirt, rubbed it thorough- ly with the contents of the boxes, and then placed the infected garment cn the trail of the Piegans, on Highwood Creek, where the Indians would be find it. They did so, and in a short time afterwards the most frightful of calamities was visited upon that tribe. It spread with wonderful rapidity among the Blackfeet, Bloods and Riv- er Crows, until the whole country within a radius of one hundred miles from Fort Benton and extending along the river for a much greater distance was infected with the disease, and deaths ocuurred by the thousand. From this awful source THE SPECULATORS REAPED A RICH HARVEST. Robes and blankets were gathered in by the thousand and conveyed by boats down the river, thus conveying and scatering disease broadcast thy over the land. 2, government was fina’'y informed the matter, and have been the means of spreading a loathsome disease from one end of the | country to the other, and sacrificing | human lives in unknown numbers! We give the particulars of this, the most terrible crime of the nineteenth century, as fully as we have been ena- bled to obtain them. HOW THE DISEASE BROKE OUT. During last summer the steamboat Utah piled between Sioux City and Fort Benton. During one of her trips the small pox broke out among the passengers and crew, and one death occurred on the trip. The boat landed a short distance below Milk River, and there the corpse was buried. The buriel was witnessed by a number of Indians, of the Gros Ventres tribe, and, as soon as the boat resumed its course, the body was disinterred, and the clothing stripped from the re- mains and distributed among the par- ty who had prepetrated the act of dese- cration. The consequence may be im- agined. In proper course of time the dredful contagion broke out in its most virulent form among the savages. The devastation was so terrible that, out of 1,900 members of the tribe, 750 died. HORRIBLE FREIGHT. The Utah arrived at "ort Benton, bringing with it herhaps ths most fear- ful cargo that ever floated on the wa- ters of the Missouri. The people of that plaee, when they ascertained the danger that menaced them, were indig- pant to an extent never before known in that country. A public meeting was held. which was attended by ev ery man iu the place, and the most in: tense excitement prevailed. There were many who proposed to take the captain of the boat and bang him to the nearest tree, as a punishment for having been the cause of pestilential danger among them. But wiser coun- sels ravailed, and the master of the steamer was ‘ordered, at the peril ‘of his life, to convey the boat and cargo to the other side of the river. But, as was afterwards ascertained, ANOTHER AND A GREATER DANGER threatened them. The disease among the Indians spread with the velocity of the wind. Having no remedies, no physicians, and no care, the chil- dren of the forest died off like a flock of infected sheep, until the tribe was diminished to about half its former numbers. The Indian burial cere mony is not such as prevails among the civilized world. It is a custom, without deviation, to lay the dead upon the gronnd in the robe which in- cased the body while living, and cover up the remains with brush. There are speculators in the Indian country whose sole object in life seems to’ be to make money, without the slightest regard for the maner in which they do it. The robes which enclosed the dead bodies were valuable, THE SPECULATORS, aware of this, determined to profit by it, and with no compunctions of con- science as to the consequences, not seeming to care in the least for the terrible suffering which the act would entail upon they knew not how many innocent victims, these men did not hesitate to roam the country in quest of the infested robes, and to convey ‘them for storage to a warehouse in Fort Benton. Benjamin de Roche, a workmen in the warehouse, was the first victim, and it was but a short General Hancock was promptly or. dered to prohibit the shipment of robes, unless they were first inspected and found to be in a healthy condition, As there were few in the country not infected, the abominable traffic ceased, and the inhuman wretches who were engaged in it, were, for a time, de- prived of the benefits which their in- famous trade has conferred upon them. But they did not dispair. The inge- nuity of the villian is, certainly, as apt as that of honest men. Cut off from shipping the diseased robes by river they determined to take them over land, and gain a market by means of railroad communication. Thanks to the vigilance of the managers of the Union Pacific railroad, and to the prompt assistance of the military, this latter ‘scheme has been throttled in its incipiency, and no more robes can pass over that road without first have ing been inspected by #®government officer and pronounced to be in good condition. There are now, at Uinta Station, 1,300 robes, which have been detained for examination. A day or two since General Ruggles dispatched a government officer, accompanied by a surgeon, to that point, to make a thorough. inspection of the suspected robes, It is believed that they are all right; but it is also known that THE UNSCRUPULOUS MURDERERS from Fort Benton have been actively at work, aod the most rigid scrutiny will be observed at all times. Not a single robe will be permitted to pass through Omaha, that has not been ex- amined by a competent officer. tation of the pestilence to this city— which, thank God, is now over—was caused in this mauner, and that the disease originated in the burial, one year ago, of a solitary passenger on the banks of the Missouri, hundreds of miles away. Could the horrible consequences of that act be computed, and the lives it has taken be enumer- ated, the record would be a frightful, ghastly one! And now, in conclu- sion, we ask : WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITI1 THE AU THORS of this, the greatest crime that mortal ever committed? Will they be arres- ted, tried, convicted and hung? Have they not committed enough murders to have the law’s most condign pun- ishment inflicted upon them? *“Who- so sheddeth man’s blood by man shall his blood be shed.” Thus reads the book which is the scource of all hu- man Jaws, It is impossible to com- pute the number of human beings these men have murdered; not alone Indians, but all over this continent, wherever those death infected robes have been sent. We trust that our government will not only protect its people from further danger, but “cause the proper punishment of the demons who have, from mercenary motives, spread broadcast over this land the most loathsome disease that ever afflicted a human being.— Omaha Herald, July 21. > & - die > “I will preach from dat portion of de scripture dis evening,” said a col- ored dominie, “where de 'Postle Paul pints his ’pistle at de ’Phesians.” o> > & > > Too SooN.—A census taker in Bed- ford county, Pa., asked a woman ata farm house the age of her oldest child, and the reply was, “You have come time before nearly every house in Fort Benton was a small-pox hospital. around about a month too soon.” ——— > Dog Driving in Alaska, My team comprised three dogs. The leader was a fine black dog named Ikkee, who had ux magnificent bushy tail, which was always erect aod curly. The next one was black and white, and called Sawashka, a hard worker and of aminble disposition. Next the sled was old Kamuk, my favorite, and the ugliest dog in the brigade. His tail, poorly furnished with hair, was usual- ly between his legs, his enrs were short and scored with the marks of many battles. His face was stolid, and ex- hibited emotion only when feeding time came, or when some other dog ventured too near or lugged behind, His body was large, and bis legs were like pillars; his color was white, with dirty spots. Altogether he looked a good deal like a lean pig. But how he would pull. A description can give buta faint idea of dog driving. It is an art in itself, The nature of dogs is cross. grained, and they frequent'y do the wrong thing with apparently the best intentions. Each has a peculiar look and character. Some are irreclaima- bly lazy, others enjoy hard work unless pushed too far; some are greedy and snappish, others good humored and decorovs. All are very practical, showing affection ouly for the man that feeds them. Hence the voyageur should always feed his own team him- self. They dislike the whip, not only when in use, but in the abstract. They will always destroy one if they can get at it. The whip is made with a short handle, a very long lash braided of leather or sealskin, and usually loaded with sheet lead or bullets ia the core, As we walk behind the sled, which ordinarily travels about four miles an hour, we have an excellent opportuni- ty of studying dogs. One habit ap- pears to be ingrained in their nature. t exhibits itself at street corners in cities, and at every bush, stump or lump of ico they pass ou the road. When traveling rapidly, some dog will stop twenty times an hour to examine any bush or twig which attracts his at- tention. If a leader, it checks the whole team ; if not he usually entan- gles himself in the harness, and jumps frantically to release himself as he hears the well known crack of the whip about his ears. Ifa log comes in the way, and the driver is not ready with his help in urging the sled over it, down they drop on their haunches, wagging their tails and looking about with a pleased expression, or uttering a sentimental howl. With a erack of the whip, and a shout to Kamuk to stir himself, their reveries are broken, and we go on. Going down hill, the whip and the lungs are again called into requisition, to keep the dogs out of the way of the descending sled. It is said that no man can drive dogs without swearing. I think it is in a measure true. At all events he must have a ready store of energetic exple- tives to keep them on the qui vive. In Russian America we always used the indigenous epithets, which, as we did not understand them, were hardly sin- ful. If there is a tree near the trail the dogs invariably try to pass on dif- ferent sides, until checked by their harness; they constantly exhibit such idiosyncracies, and it is lucky for Job that he was not set to dog driving, if he had been, I feaw his posthumous reputation would have suffered. At noon we stop for a cup of tea. Here the true voyageur exhibits him- self in making the fire. A greenhorn or an Indian will make a conical fire, at the side of which you must place your chynik, aud wait until it chooses to boii. A white man’s fire is built in layers. The sticks in each layer are parallel with each other, and at right angles with those in the layer beneath, #& few chips are placed upon this pile which presents a broad, flat top, on which you set your chynik. A few shavings are whittled from a dry stick and you light your fire on the top of the pile, The free circulation soon puts it all in a blaze, your kettle boils in ten minutes, you drop in your tea and let it boil up once, and you are ready for chy peet.” If the fire be light at the bottom it takes it twice as long to kindle, and if you boil your tea more than an instant it is ruined. Many travelers drink a caustic decoc- tion of tannin, which they call tea, such unfortunates are to be pited. Tea over, you empty out your chynik and set it iu the snow a moment to cool that you inay not burn your sled cover. Having replaced it, and seen that the dogs are untangled, vou shout to Ka- muk, “Be off, you old sinner!” Down goes his tail, and away you go.—Dull's Alaska.” em lh pr me Two Young Ladies Killed by Light ning. The Charleston News of Tuesday last snys: “From a private letter to a gentleman in this city we learn that on yesterday week, while Miss Murray, daughter of Joseph W. Murray, and Miss Hill, daughter of Daniel Hill, hoth of St. Johh's Berkeley, were re- turning from church with Mr. Murray, they took shelter under a tree to avoid a wetting from a shower. While there the lightning struck the tree and in- stantly killed the two young ladies. Mr. Murray who was standing near by, was uninjured.” 5 caine lpr Those whose income tax pinches them closely at this time, must remem-. ber that the radicals reimposed this burden. It expired in 1869, It was re-enacted in 1870 by radieal votes. Business men will make this fact a ba- sis of action at the polls—if they are wise. AA GMS No 15.
