Although i.hc indicated expense and

improvement of their Kace will warrant.
1st. That it is an uccumulitioii of

these Indians being in decidedly a worse

Signed on behalf of the Convention,
Hknmamin IlALt-owKLL, Sec'y-
Tu the Senate nwi House of Representa
tives of the united fstntes:
Your memorialists representing the
committee on the Iudian Concern of the
Society of Friends, to some of whose
members has been assigned by the Gov
ernment the care of the Indians in the
Northern Supcrintendency, State of
Nebraska, respectfully represent.
That in the Spring of last year, a
Suieriiitendentand six Agents, members
of the Society, entered upon their respec
tive duties in that .u?eiiitenleiicy.
They found the Indians placed in their
charge to he generally in a very depressed
and degraded condition ; but the Super
teudant and Agents entered upon their
arduous labors with ehcerfullness and
earnestness. 1 he r 1 lends in the .hast
sent out a supply of medicines and
clothing for those who needed them, and
a marked improvement is already observ
able.
JJut, with the means at their disposal,
the Siiperiiitendant and Agents can
accomplish little for the permanent
nunrovement of these oeonlc. Ihc
same causes, in their crowded lodges,
operate to produce disease, and although
allotments of land in'tsevcralty have been
completed on some of the lleservations.
yet unless they have houses on them, and
means 01 cultivating 'the land, these
allotments avail them nothing, and the
Indians merely exist without the possi
bility of further improYeinent.
hat is needed, and what our peti
tion a.sksof Congrets is, an immediate
appropriation to build houses, to work
their lands, and raise tke provisions
necessary tor their subsistence.
Ironi the estimates that have been
made, wc believe that an appropriation
of the following amounts will be required
for wacons, teams, tools, agricultural
implements, live stock, seeds, Sic, and
to errcct suitable houses on some of tho !
allotments, viz:

The time to comiiience their agricul
tural Labors is now near at hand, and
unless these appropriations are made for
them at once, tne Indians will have to
spend another year in idleness and pov
erty. Vc therefore respectfully solicit an
early and favorable consideration of this
petition

The aliove memorial, emanating from
the Society of Friends, is the lirst ''feeler"
put forth by the broad brim management
of Indian affairs to ascertain the state of
the economical pulse of Congress. Only
$-V-,(JU W-'.iWhy not? has not Con
gress made a clean gift of one-twentieth
of that amount to the sufToring poor in
the District of Columbia? And why
-hoidd not the thieving, murdering'!
'"Whistler" and his band of robbtrs be
considered equally entitled to the gener
ous donations of Congress, as the poor
whita people, and destitute negroes
around Washington. Surely the bravery
and persistent propensity to kill and to
scalp which "Whistler" has uianifcbtcd,
absolutely demand recognition in this
substantird way at the hands of the So
ciety of Friends through Congress.
Where will our economical friend, the
Chairman of the Coimuiittee on Appro
priatious stand on this specimen of Qua
ker Eeonomy. Not content with the
lavish waste of money expended on these
Indians from year to year, it has remained
for the peaceful, lamb-like innocencyof
the Society of Friends to tell the men of
the West, whose sous have been mur
dered, and whoe wives and daughters
have been ravished by these self rauie
Indians, that heretofore the allowances to
their murderous foes have been too small,
and that they, the whites, must toil harder
and par more taxc, to that the Indians
may be fed and clothed, ami allowed to
revel beneath the generous policy of their
Quaker allies. Why, it would be be
neath the dignity of the noble red man to
labor! Of course it would. His busi
ness is to kill whitctucn, and more than
kill their wives and daughters. Let the
pioneers of the west sweat and toil to the
end that the Leatherstoekings aud Ilia
wathas' may enjoy life, and live in plenty
under the generosity of Quakerism, a
generosity that touches not its own pocket
except to widen the capacity for receiving
more money, and stands like Oliver Twist
in the public soup-kitchen asking nure!

The Page county monster has at

following correspondence to the
Joseph I Mo.) Gazette of the Othiust
last
the
St
The most exciting chase that, perhaps,
has ever roceured in North Missouri.
oocurred on Tuesday, March 1st, in this
vicinity. Ihe people are aware that the
community have been terribly harrassed
and excited over the depredations of the
animal known as the Page county
monster. I now propose furnishing
voir readers with the particulars of the
chase and destruction of the annimal.
The people getting tired of his depreda
tions, it was determined to meet at Eas
ton for the purpose of summarily dispos
ing of the audacious Animal. Therefore,
on the morning in question, quite a col
lection of citizens gathered at Easton to
devise the best means to accomplish the
end. Among the assembly there were
several noted hunters. After a short
consultation it was unanimously agreed
upon to select Mr. Lloyd Moxly. an old
and exiMJiiecced hunter, to lead the
chaso. Mr. Moxly selected his assistant
Mr. Henry Holman. who although
young in years, is old in experience. After
furnishing ourselves with plenty of
whisky and other necessary articles, wc
started on tho pursuit, headed by our
distinguished leader. Takinir a south
westerly direction, we Kon arrived in
the vicinity of the annimal s last depre
dations. It was not long before our
hounds, of which there were about
twnnty, struck the animal's trail, not
far from the Platte river. The hounds
followed the trail at a rapid pace, we
f jllowing in close pursuit on horseback.
until we goi into the heavily timbered
bottom of the river, when we were obliged
to leave our horses and followed on foot.
Away we went, scrambling over logs and
under bruih with 'our indomitable leader
still at the head. As wo could not make
very rapid progress on foot, our hounds
soon left us, but we followed on, guided
by tho sounds of their loud barking.
After some time wc were convinced that
the dogs had brought the beast to a
stand. We kept on stumbling over
bushes for about half an hour, every
minute drawing nearer the dogs, until at
last we came up with them, when, sure
enoush, we discovered the object of our
search backed up against the trunk- of a
large tree and dealing death among our
poor dogs. He had already killed-some
five or six of our best dogs and crippled
several more, The dogs were getting
afraid toapprorch him, but we encouraged
them, in order to induce him to keep his
stand, when our rifles and si i . guns were
brought into play with various success.
Several shots took effect on the auimal,
and several more on the dogs. The
monstei was in a terrible rage, his eyes
fairly flashing fire; woe to the unwary
dog that came within his reach. Mr.
Holman liked to have been killed by ven
turing too near the animal, which made
a furious bound at him, just graziug him
and tearing off his coat; but a well di
rected shot from the famous riGe of our
leader, Mr. Moxly, at the moment,-

nial in question, which has created so
much consternation .through the north
western part of this State, and a" part of
Iowa, is pronounced by men who know,
to lie a California lion. It is about seven
to eight feet long, about three and a half
feet hiah, and massively built, its shoul
ders being very heavy and mane long.
He had enormous teeth, which he could
use to terrible effect. It is supposed the
skin will be stuffed and sent", to some mu
seum. Tho citizens of this community
should feel particularly grateful to tho
following gentlemen for their efforts in
capturing the monster. The gentlemen
in question are Messrs. Hoxly, Holman
Middleton, Vaughan, Wui. Allen, Gar,
den and others. Messrs Garden and A
len are old hunters, and keep a large
pack of hound. They lost several of
their fine dotes in the encounter.
Apples aud Chip.
One of the elders of the Methodist
Episcopal Church has a son, who in
herited his father' x love for whatever is
comic, and this son returned from school
a few months since with a report of
scholarship below the average.
"Well," eaid hi father, "you've
fallen behind this month, have you?"
"Yes, tiir."
"How did that happen?"
"Don't know, sir."
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed a number of dime nov
els scattered about the house ; but had
not thought it worth while to say any
thing until a fitting opportunity should
offer itself. A basket of apples stood
upon the floor. And he said : "Empty
out these apples, and uke the basket
and bring it to me half full of chips."
Suspecting nothing, the son obeyed.
"And now "he continued, "put those
apples back irJo the basket."
When half the apples were replieed,
ths son said :
"Father, they roll off. I can't put in
any more.'.'
"Put 'em in, I tell you."
Hut, father. I can t put them in."
M'ut them m:
can't put them in.
No. of course you
Do vou expect to
fill a basket half full of chips and then
fill it with apples? You Kai l you didn't
know why you fedl behind at school ; and
I will tell you. Your mind is like that
basket. It will not hold more than so
much. And here you've been, the past
month, filling it up with chip dirt dime
novel !"
The boy turned on his heel, whistled,
and said, "whew! I see the point."
Not a dime novel has been setn in the
house from that day to this.

We are informed by Hen. G. W. Gliek,
President of the road, that ties are now
ready for a little more than one-half the
road from this city to ths Nebraska State
line. The ties that have been got out
are all, or nearly all, near the line of the
road ; so that when the track-laying com
mences, the ties can be loaded on the
construction train without the expense of
handling again. Laborer are stiil at
work getting out ties, and are turning
out from three to four hundred every

work. Persons who have lost their
right hand by accident frequently acquire
great facility with the left, after some
practice , but grown-u-p.-rsons have not
always the patience to betake themselves
toth necessary practice. By children
the thing would be acquired insensibly,
if means wf re taken to lead theni to the
practice of it. Children living in houses
where two languages are spoken acquire
both with great facility ; and what is
true of tongue would be equally so of
hands.
Every young man is eagerly askim? the
i lost wy of getting on in life. The
j Bible gives a very lrief answer to the
question : "Walk in the way of good
j men, and keep the paths of the riht
i eous." Many books of advice an 1 di
I rection have beeu written, but that is the
i git of them all.

CUYLER SCHOLFAX
says of Weeping Water.
Extract from X.cttcr to
Mrs. Mrimcly.
"As I wa telling you. my dear Mrs. Grundv,
I came on my mule to Weeping Water in a sadly
dilapidated condition rn hat, boots coat
stockings in short, destitute of all those con
venient appurtenances which ornament a well
dressed man having been deprived of all by
the merciless savages, who even took my cigar
case.
Thinking that I might in that flourishing town
obtain a second-hand blauket. I rode up to
HIJ HIP ISIZO&S
store, and hitching uiy mule ly the ears to a
large freight wagon loaded with goods for the
I'lattsmouth retnil trade. I ertered. Judge ol
my surprise wl.cn I was promptly met and
offered a complete outfit, from a pair of stub
toed boots to a goose-ijuill toothpick, for tho pal
try sum of nine dollars and sixty-two and one
half cents, the 'J.1 j cents being I he profits ou the
goods. If you want anything in the
miscellaneous line, cull on them, and if you don't
see what you want usk for it. I would remark
hero that they are generous. liberal, good look
ing and truthful to a fault."
