; ; .,: NOT GUILTY. ... . V
,s In the Fpring of. 18 : I was call oil
to' Jackson, Alabuma, to" attend court,
jiavipg been eallcJ to doleuil a young
plan who had been accused of robbing
the mail. The .stolon bag had been
racovered, as well as the Tetters from
-which the. money, had. been rilled.
These letters were given me 'for my
examination,; and I returned .'them to
the prosecuting attorney. . Having got
through my preliminaries about noon,
and as the case would not come oil'
till the next day, I went into court iu
the afternotin to see what , was' .going
on. The first caso that came up
one of thelt, and the prisoner was a
young girl not more than seventeen
years of nge, named Elizabeth . Med
worth. .She was very pretty, .and
bore that mild, iuuouent look which is
seldom found in a culprit. . She had
been weeping profusely, but as she
found so many eyes upon her she be
came too frightened to weep more.
.The complaints against hor set forth
that feliu had stolen a hundred dollnrs
from a rs. Nnsby, and' as tho cuho
went on I found that this Mrs. Nasby,
n wealthy widow living in the town,
was the girl's mistress. Tho poor
girl declared her innocence in the
wildest terms, but the circumstance
were hard against her. .A hundred
dollars in bank notes had ' been stolen
from her mistress's room, and she
was the only person that had access
there. , , . t s
At this juncture, when tho mistress
was upon the witness stand, a young
mnn came and caught me by the arm,
and said: ";."'
"People teU mo that you are a" fine
lawver."
"I am a lawyer," I said.
''Then save her! You certainly can
do it, for she is innocent."
, '.'Has she no counsel f" .:,
. "None that is good for any thing
nobody that will do anything for her.
Oh, save her, and I will give you all
that I have got. I can't give you
much, but I can raise something. "
1 reflected a moment. I cast my
eyes toward the prisoner, and she wus
at that moment looking at me. She
caught my eve, and the volume of en
treaty I read in her glance resolved
ine in a moment. I arose and went
to the girl, and asked if he . w'uhed
me to defend her. hc said yes.' I
then informed the court I w:u ready
to enter the esse, and waii admitted at
once- The loud murmurs of satis
faction that rati through tho crowd,
told me where the sympathies of the
people were. I asked a moment's
cessation, that I might speak to my
client. . 1 went and sat down by her
side, and then asked her to state
candidly the whole case. hbe Jjad
lived with Mrs. Xasby nearly two
years' aud had never had any trouble
before. About two weeks ago, the
said her mistress had mised a Luu
dred dollars.
"She missed it from Tier drawer,"
the girl said to me, "and asked me
about it- That evening I know that
Xancy Luther told 31rs. Nasby that
she saw me take the money from the
drawer that she watched me through
the keyhole. Then they went to my
trunk and found twenty-five dollars
of the missing money there. Jiut,
sir, I never took it, and somebody else
put it there." " "" ".
I then asked her if she suspected
any one. - .
I dou"f know who could have done
it but Nancy. She has never liked me
because.ehe thought I was treated bet
ter than she. .She is the cook. I was
thi chambermaid."
She pointed Nancy Luther out to
me. JShe was a stout, bold-faced frirl,
somewhere about five and twenty
years old, with a low forehead, small
eyes, a pug none and thick lips. I
caught tier glance at once, as it rest
ed on the fair young prisoner, and the
moment I detected the look of hatred
which I read there, I was - convinced
that she was a rogue. -
"Nancy Luther, did .you" say that
girl's name was?" I asked, for a new
light had broken tipon roe. c
,.. "Yes, sir." -
I left the court room and went to
the prosecuting attorney and asked
him for the letters I handed him the
ones that had been stolen . from the
mail bag. lie gave them to me, and
having selected one I returned the
rest, and told him I would see he had
the one I kept before night.- I then
returned to the court room and the
case went on. -
Mrs. Nasby resumed her testimony.
She said she intrusted the room to the
prisoner s care, ana no oce else naa
access there save herself. Then she
described about the missing money,
and cloned by telling ho w she found
twenty-five dollars in; the prisoner's
trunk. She could swear it was the
identical money that she had lost, in
two ten dollar, and one five dollar
banknotes. ; . - .
"Mrs. Nasby," said I, "when you
hrst missed the money, naa you any
reason to believe the prisoner had. ta-
ken it r . - -: - -
"No, sir." . . ' ;.' ;.
Should vou . have thought of
searching her trunk, had not Nancy
Luther advised yon.-' -
"No. sir." ... . . . . , ".,"'..'..':..;',
Mrs. Nasby then left the stand, and
Nancy Luther took Tier place. 11 She
came up with a bold front, and cast
defiant look, as if to say, "Trap me if
you can." She then gave her evidence
as follows; f..T '. 'f- ; .. ,:r
She said that on the night the mon

Then she went on, told how she in
formed her mistress of this, and how
she proposed to search' the girl's

.; I called Mrs. Nasby bnck.i ..
i "You said no one save yourself had
access to your room ; now couldn't
Naniy Luther have entered the room
if she wished?" 5 h
i"UertainJy I meant that no one
else had any right there." ' ' .
I saw tlvat Mrs. Nasby, though nat
urally a hard woman, was somewhat
moved by the misery of poor Eliza
beth. ',' : ' ;
; "Could your cook have known by
any means in your knowledge where
your money was?" .; n: f .
" "Yes, sir; for she often comes 1 to
my room for tho purpose of; getting
money to liiy provisions -of market
men who happened to come along
wilh tlmir wagons."
"On more question; have yon ev
er known of tlw prisoner using money
since this was Ktoleur" ' '
"No, Sir." . .... .!'.-; ' ' ;
I now called Nancy Luther' "back,
ami she began to tremblo a .little,
though her look was as bold and deli
mit as ever. .
"Miss Luther," I said, "why did you
not inform your mistress at once of
what you had seen, without waiting
for Iter to ak about her money '(.
"Jlecause I oould not at onco make
np my mind to expose the poor 'girl,"
she answered promptly.
"You say you looked through tho
keyhole and saw her take out the
money 3r" .
; "Yes, sir."
"Where did she placo the lamp
w hen she did so J"
"On the bureau."
In your testimony you said she
stooped down when nht picked it up.
What do vou misui by that V" s
The girl hesitated, and finally she
aaid ho didn't mean anything, only
that she picked up the lump.
"Very well; how long have yon
been wilh Mrs. Nasby ?"
"Not quite a year."
"How much does she pay you a
week If"
. "A dollar and three-quarters"
, "Have you drawn any of your pay
since you have been there V"
"Yes, sir."
"iiow much y '
"I don't know."
"Why don't vou know T
"How should I? 1 have taken it at
different tunes, just as I wanted it, aud
kept no account."
Then you bavu't laid up any money
since you have been there?" ; ..
"No sir; tdy what Mrs. Nasby may
owe roe." .. . - . ;
"Will you tvll me if you belong to
tbi State?". ,
"I do." .
"Iu what town?"
She hesitated and for a moment tho
bold look forsook her. I uexl turned
to Mrs. Naiby. ,
"Do you take receipts from your
girls when vou pay them ?"
"Always."" i
"L'an you send aud get one of them
for me ?.' 4;
"She has told you the truth about
the payment," said Mrs. Naby.
"Obi J don't doubt it; but particu
lar proof is the thing for the court
room. So, if you can, I with you
would procure the receipt."
She said she would w illingly go, if
the court said, so. The court did say
so, and she went, Her dwelling was
not far oflj and she soon returned with
four'receipw, which I took and exam
ined. They w ere signed iu a strong,
staggering baud by the witness.
"jVow, Nancy Luther," I said, turn
ing to the witness, and speaking in a
quick, startling tone, at the same time
ooking her sternly jn tho eve, "please
tell the court and jury where you got
the seventy-hve dollars you sent in
your letter to your sister over in Som-
ers
At this she stared as though a vol
cano had burst at her feet. She turn
ed pale as death, and every limb
shook violently. . I waited until tho
people eould hare an opportunity to
see her emotion, and then I, repeated
the question. , . .
"1 never sent !ny," she gasped.
"You did J" I thuudcrcd, for. I was
excited now. .
"I I didn't," she faintly murmured,
grasping the railing by her side for
support. ,., '. ' ;
"iUay it pleaso your honor and gen
tlemen of tiic jury," I said, "I came
here to defend a man who was arrest
ed for robbing the mail, and in the
course of my preliminary examina
tion I had access to the letters which
had been torn open and robbed of
money.. When I entered upon the
se, and heard the name of the wit
ness pronounced, I went out and got
this letter which 1 now hold, ior L re
membered having seen one . bearing
the signature of Nancy Luther. This
letter was taken from, the mail bag,
and it contained seventy-five dollars;
ana ty looking at the- post-mark, you
will observe that it wasf, mailed the
day after tho, hundred dollars was ta
ken from Mrs. Nasby's drawer, and is
directed to .'Dorcas Luther, Somers
Montcromerv conntv.-Alabama.' And
now 1 will only add it is. plain to see
how the hundred dollars were disposed
: , . y. ,
of.-. Seventy-five dollars were sent off
for sate keeping,, while the remaining
twenty-five dollars. were placed in the
prisoner s trunk, for . the purpose of
covering the real criminal, I now
leave my client's case in your hands."
' The case was given to the jury; im
mediately after, ther examination of
the letter. ".They had heard from, the
witness's own mouth that she had no
money of her Own, and without leav
ing their seats, thoy returned a verdict
of "Not Guilty." ' l' ;
I will not describe the scene that
followed, but if Nancy ( Luther had
not' been immediately arrested for
theft she would have been obliged to
seek protection of the officers, of the
excited people would have maimed
her. at least if they had not done more.
The next morning I received a. note
handsomely; written in ' which I was
told that the within was but a Blight
token of the gratitude due me for my
efforts in behalf of tbe poor defence
less maiden, ; It was eignad "Severid
if IMS
Citizens," and contained one hundred
dollars. Shortly afterward the youth
who first ' begged jno to take up the
case, called upon mo with all the mon
ey ho could raise; but I refused his
hard earnings, shqwing him that I had
already becu paid. , Ueforel left town
I was a guest at hU wedding my fair

rThatUi'e police authorities are often
called upon to perform queer " duties
is a fact which was fully deinoinUated
Thursday. ; On the : evening of the
10th iuUnt a telegram won received
by Mayor Jtichurdx requesting him to
look out for ' aiid"iaricst a couple
named James W. Alluiaa and ! Bettie
Jdcobs, whose descriptions were giv
en. t.The telegram was. turned over
to detective George O. , Miller, and
that officer was on hand at the early
train next morning to capture, if pos
siblo, the fugitives. Uut early as he
went Le was too late, and instead of
seeing the runaways he met the father
of the truant young lady, and from
him learned who they were and why
they were to bo arrested. '
rr, . sfiag jACoiiH ts k Jewess;
Mr. Allinan is a Gentile. The par
ties are both young tbo gentleman
alxjut twenty eightand the lady about
eighteen. Shortly after the clone of
the war Mr. Jacobs jicre was doing
buHiuess in Fairfax, Va., so was Mr.
Alluiati. Tho young people met and
loved, but the almost, insuperable ob
jection of race interfered with the
otherwise smooth current of their af
fection.
Mr. J., after a time, removed to
Baltimore, aud Mr. A. to Alexandria,
iu which respective cities they en
gaged iu bu;nesH. The young ones
were separated but not estranged,
and they found a way by tho United
States mail to keep the flame bright
ly burning.
On the 18th Mr. A. visited bis in
amorato at her home; ou the l'J
BOTH WEttE MISHINO;
hetice the despatch and the visit of
the old gent. On their arrival in this
city tho couple repaired at once to
the City Hall, interviewed Mr. Meigs,
the clerk of the Supreme Court, gave
him a small amount of currency, and
got in return therefor the consent of
the law to be "splicad." Armed
wilh this document, they called on
Kev. J. C. Smith, D. D., of the
Fourth 1'rekbvterian church, who
saw no plausible objection to their
request, and in bis good naturod way
tied the knot aud soul tbeni off rejoic-
ng, whither, ho knew not. 15ut we
know S They went, to the Continental
Hotel, where they took a room.
TUB JtKXT MOKX1SO
the detective and the father called at
tho hotel, and were informed that
tho parly had been there, but had
left, about an hour before in a car
riage. The Alexandria, boat was
then patronized, the ancient burg
reached 'aud thoroughly searched,
but bo trac of tho fugitives found.
The father . wan disheartened, and,
although he did not give up tbe
search, returned to tho city, where
be remained over night. During the
night they got a clue to the truants,
and took the first boat for Alexandria,
where they arrived about seven
o'clock. They proceeded immediate
ly to the house where tho parties
were . stopping, aud were informed
that Mr. AHman waa not in, and that
Mrs. A. could not be seen. The offi
cer, however, informed the landlord
that his companion was the father of
the girl, aud that ho must see her.
They were then shown up stairs, and
the meeting between the sorrowing pa
rent and the apostate daughter is said
to have been truly affecting. As the
door was opened, and she saw ber
father, tho brideexclaiined, "Father,
we ' are legally married, " and burst
into tears. Her father, equally af
fected, upbraided her for her act, and
forbade her to call him father again,
as she had disgraced both him and
her mother. ; - '-' : -
A DIALOGUE WAS CVEUIUD ON
between tbe two amid their cries and
sobs, which was only interrupted when
the landlord declared it was attract
ing too much attention and must cease.
The father turned to go, and as he
did so cast a fond look at his daugh
ter, aud to her frantio "Good-by, fath
er," said : "I will go home, put crape
on my hat, and mark you on the rec
ord, 'Died, September" 19th,' 1871."
The scene ended ;: tbo daughter of the
Jew was discarded and disgraced in
the eyes of her people. Her only ref
uge now is the husband sho has cho
sen. May he ever remember the sae
riiice, and ideal lovingly' and kindly
with her who forsook all the world to
cling only to him. .f, . u 4
Frightful Balloon- Accident.
A few days ago a terrible balloon
accident occurred near Paoli, Indiana,
of which the following is a brief ao
count: : , '
' It appears that while two aeronauts

and Into it Again His Promotion Due
, to Tremont, - - : . : '
New York, September 8.
'"'In 1854, Lieut. TJ. S. Grant was the
quartermaster of the Fourth Infantry,
stationed at Vancouver's Island, on
the Pacific coast. Alfred Pleasanton
was lieutenant of dragoons, and Hu-
fns Ingalls was the quartermaster of
the post. Grant had been addicted
to drink to' that extent that he hadl
been several times cautioned by his
friends, and be, to prevent trouble
aud as a guarantee of future absti
nence, placed his ! resignation in the
hand . of . Colonel Buchanan, to be
used in case of another disgraceful
spree. Soon after this Grant went to
San Francisco, and while there got on
another "tear,", and overstayed his
leave, being seduced by the wonder
ful temptations and fascinations of the
Occidental city, so noted for its won
derful and accidental changes of for
tune and life. When he returned to
his post he found, much to his sur
prise and mortification, that his dis
sipation had become known and his
resignation had been forwarded with
such an indorsement as secured its
immediate acceptance. -In due course
of time, Grant became a private citi
zen. He was now in a bad fix. Im
pecunious and despondent, he tried to
drown his sorrows in. the flowing
bowl. Pleasanton and Ingalls were
warm friends of "Sam." Grant, and,
together they "staked" him, so as to
enable him to reach the States via
Panama. He proceeded to St. Louis,
and there lived the life of a vagabond ,
of the first water, loafing about the
city, alternating between tho city and
old Dent's farm, several miles out of
the citv. At this time Gen. William
S. Ilillyer aud Gen. Kawlius were in
business together, as counsellors and
attorneys at law, and Grant used to
make their rooms a sort of headquar
ters, dropping in almost every day,
and passing hours with his feet cock
ed on the table or a chair, enjoying
his inevitable smoke,- and no 'less
pleasant chat. In this way the friend
ship for Hawlins and Ilillyer became
cemented, and this accounts for their
selection on Grant's personal staff
when he became a brigadier general.
Every one knows how Dick Yates,
then governor of Illinois, took him
for his military secretary, and after
ward gave him the colonelcy of an in
subordinate regiment which had been
tried by two or three colonels, who
were unable to subdue their riotous
and mutinous disposition. Grant
soon straightened them out, and dem
onstrated bis value as a disciplinarian.
Being sent to the department of Mis
souri, then under command of Gen. J.
C. Fremont, Grant was assigned to
General John Pope's command, and
was the senior colonel in that army.
On one occasion Pope had business
away, Grant, as senior officer, was in
the command. On Pope s return ho
found Grant in his headquarters tent,
writing and doing such business as
was incident to his command. Pope
with that brusqueness and discourtesy
lor which he was noted, said to Grant
that he wished he would do his writ
ing in his own tent and not intrude
himself so much at headquarters.
Naturally indignant, Grant wrathfully
stepped out and proceeded to tbe tent
ot the sutler, with whom he was very
intimate, and whoso whisky he had
drunk ad libitum. To this bosom
friend he poured out all his woes, and
as he sipped his "Bourbon straight'"
he vindictively ejaculated: " I hope
I shall live to sec the day when I will
ont-rank Gen. Pope!" One of his
most intimate friends here was a Col.
Hulburt, and he loved his; "tod" as
well if not better than Grant did him
self. So outrageous did; these two
officers become in their ' cups, that
Popo finally found it necessary to
send them to St. Louis, with a recom
mendation that they should be both
dismissed for drunkenness. Although
Mr. Lincoln had placed almost auto
craclic power in the hands of General
Fremont, he hesitated to dismiss
them, and let their case haug on from
day to day, awaiting a leisure mo
ment to give tho matter bis personal
attention. Meanwhile,' Grant and
Hulbnrt loafed about St. Louis, neg
lected, imnecunious and shabbv. danc
ing attendance at headquarters every
day in the hope ot a speedy Bettie
ment of their difficulty. At this time
the enemy were advancing upon Cope
Girardeau, which ; was ; then occupied
by new levies, undisciplined and un
drilled, under the cemmand of Gener
al. Prentiss, of Illinois. . Owing to
Prentiss' want of experience, Fremont
deemed it advisable to supersede him,
but in the absence olojthor, more ; ex
perienced officers the.r general .hardly
knew whom to seloct to relieve rum
While he was in this quandary a gen
tleman occupying a high ofncial posi
tion, in whom Fremont had great
confidence, called , to see him one day
As he passed tip stairs ho saw in the
hall,: sittjiic on a wooden bench,
Grant and Hulbnrt. Grant's red face
shone over his woolen 1 shirt, dirty
and tobacco-stained, i He had no col
lar, hia uniform was greasy and shab
by, and, altogether, he presented
miserable and woe-begone appear
ance. The gentleman referred to res-
cognized him, and as he shook hands
he asked, what he was doing there ? r
Grant replied that he was in a little
trouble, ,"and," said he, "I want you
to heln me out." Tho difficulty was
related by Grant, an d his friend said
he would see 'what could be done.
after which he passed upjrtairs to the
presence of. the great Jrathtinaer.
Durincr the eonversation, Fremont
mentioned the Cape Giradean difficul
ty,. and said be did not knqw who to
send there. ' " I'know the "very . man
vou want,' said our friend, I saw him
down stairs as I came up."1 "Who is
he?" inquired , Fremont-t 'l'.'VVhy,
Sam. Grant; he's just, the man; send
him down." Fremont called his . ad

So Fremont, somewhat unwillingly:

" Tliat's a bail lookout; come with

his transportation for bim, and inside
often hours bad bim started for Gir
ardeau by special train, i i As was ex
pected, his seniors kicked ; against his
assuming the Command, and , tbey
were all relieved by Fremont, and
Grant left with a supreme command.
At this time President Lincoln was
determined in his opposition to the
invasion of, Kentucky, even though
the enemy were occupvlwr her soil
and advancing upon our forces. ; He
persisted in considering Kentucky as
neutral ground. As the enemy ad
vanced upon Grant, another , was or
dered by Fremont to cufhim off from
his base, while Grant was to attack
him in front. -This general, instead
of obeying bis orders, telegraphed
them to Lincoln, who countermanded
them at once. Grant, however.
obeyed the orders from ' his superior.

WHAT IS PROTECTION? ,-
The New York Bulletin defines pro
tection thus: ; ' ' ' ' - ; .. .. ;
"What is American protection? ! It
is that extraordinary eovernmentul
policy which would errant to a few
favored capitalists; engaged in certain
branches of manufacture and produc
tion, privileges at the expense of the
great mass of the people. . It is that
system of legislation which - would
place such restrictions . upon , com
merce as shall deny to American con
sumers the pri'ileire of sunnlviu!?
their wants in the easiest, cheapest
and best way, and compel' them to
eat, drink and wear suck .articles as
the Government shall choose to desig
nate. It is that system which, under
the pretext of fostering tbe develop
ment of domestic ; industries, creates
and sustains vast and oppressive mo
nopolies which prosper at the expense
of all classes of the community, and
which are lifted to financial prosperity
by means of a burdensome and oner
ous taxation, which none can escape
but those who go naked and starve
outof doors. It is that system which,
purporting to seek the welfare of the
American workingman, diverts labor
from naturally remunerative - occupa
tions into artificial and naturally un-
prohtable industries, which enhances
the cost of living in a ratio more than
proportionate to the enhancement of
wages, and which deprives the people
of all tbe natural commercial advan
tages w hich. would be enjoyed ' were
the productive labor, of the country
employed in selfustaining industries.
It is that system which seeks to de
prive tbe American people of all the
advantages which would result from
unrestricted commercial intercourse
with other nations, and to deny them
the enjoyment of th services of those
best able to supply their ' manifold
and increasing necessities and desires.
It is that system which, failing to ac-
1- t it a . .
compiisn tne ends ior which it ..was
presumably devised, has paralyzed
many branches of industry to stimu
late a few, which has driven our com
merce from the ocean, rendered us
dependent upon foreign carriers,
and deprived us of our former rank
among the maritime nations of the
world. It is that system, in " short,
which, without benefiting the country
in any respect, levies the most " bur
densome and odious taxation taxa
tion to sustain and enrich' monopo
lists on all we eat, drink, wear, have
or use, except the air we breathe.

any principle or right, justice or ex

' "When the first trading ship entered
the Colombia river; its shores ' were
bordered with Indian villages; from
the Capes to -the Cascades, and from
the palles, and so on, to its sources.
They' wet-e well clad in skins, and
cloth made of cedar bark. They had
abnndance of food, in the game
which the land and water sunblied.
besides roots and, berries in, ample
variety. ' ' " " , '.'
Ihe settlement of the fur compan
ies in their midst dated the com
mencement of the destruction which
has come upon them so overwhelm
ingly'.' Gradually, ,' disease,, with
whose character they were entirely
unacquainted, and vices, of which, as
savages, they had heretofore been in
nocent, were introduced among them.
I hen followed epidemics, caused by
the malaria arising from' the breaking
of the ground by the whites for agri
cultural purposes. In the year 1829.
five years subsequent to the settle
ment of. Vancouver by the Hudson
Bay Company, 30,000 natives were
estimated to have died from malarial
fever in the Columbia river and Wil
lamette valleys, west of the Cascade
Mountains. , . .
Tbe Indians understood nothing of
the cause or treatment of tbe disease;
and, although' the gentlemen at the .
Fort did all tbey could to save life.
yet with such numbers needing as
sistance, and with the native . igno
rance and superstition against them,
very little, comparatively, could bo
effected.. From this period on. the
Indians of Oregon- have dacimated
with astouishing rapidity. " Well may
they say that thej are like the sun
that melts from the hillside, while
the whites who replace them are like
the grass that follows the melting of
the enow.
In 1832, when Nathaniel Wyeth vis
ited Oregon, with tbe view of estab
lishing a salmon fishery on the Co
lumbia, he . built an establishment
which he named Fort "William,, on
Wappatoo. or SaUvie s Island, on the
side bounded bythe lower Willamette
river. ; Both the island and the Oppo
site shore of the main land are fertile
and beautiful,' made richly s product
ive by the annual overflow of the Co
lumbia,. -The islaud was especially
prized by the Indians 'on account of
a root cajled icappaloo, which grows
in great abundance on it, and is high
ly esteemed by. them for food. In
1832, Wyeth found some villages bor
dering on this portion of the Willam
ette that still numbered a; thousand
warriors. Estimating that there was
one warrior to a family of five, it will
be seen how populous must have been '
thi portion of western Oregon.-J 1
And populous as it then wa3,it was
desolate to what it bad been ten years
before . All along those fertile shores
were' abandoned villages . So close
together " were they that a rifle ball
might have been shot from one into
the other, and they were built. of huts
three or more tiers deep. When
Wyeth saw them, only. the bones of
the v'ctimsof the pestilence were to
be found in these deserted-habitations.
.There is little , hope for the
paleontologists who are looking: for
the bones of prer Adamite man,; when
a lapse of forty .years had effectually
effaced all traces of the thousands of
skeletons that lined the river banks
of Oregonr' just previous to its" colo
nization bv American settlers. ,f 7 I
The ad rent among the Indians of
missionaries, ' in 1835, did not im
prove their condition. "''Of the few
who could be induced to altar their
nomadic habits, nearly all died. The
children and young, persons taken
into the mission school, although
they displayed an aptitude for learn
ing, and even seemed to comprehend
the vital truths of Christianity,' per
ished like wild wood flowers 6etin the
sunny parterres of a garden. The
cause's are evident: change of diet,
change of dress, and malarial poisons
from the upturned- sods of the mis
sion farm. . The ; missionaries them
selves suffered much from intermit
tent fever and chills ; but the diseaso
proved fatal to the Indians, while the
white men s constitutions were able
to throw it off, By this time, too, a
worse than malarial poison was work
ing in the veins of the natives, result
ing from their intercourse with a vic
ious class of men the dregs of white
races floated to. these shores, by
chance, in trading 'ships, or seeking
here adventures -more exciting than
civilized, countries "afforded."- From
these causes to which maybe added
the deprivation of their old means of
abundant subsistence, and natural
habits and recreation the Oregon
Indians have been reduced from many
