Copies of oillclul returns have been carefully footed and compared with footings received from Augusta. An error is found of 100 in footing up I'cuob scot county, coven lacking towns are add ed and the final result is Davis 73,041); Plaisted, 73,814; Pluistad's plurality, 174. Scattering were not on tbo sheets receiv here, but ut Augusta, footing 470, which is probably correct. This result must ho very near! although Hometowns are still not oliiciul and the democratic state com mittee, although their tables are not com plete, agree tliut they will come out very near this, although these fljturesare from olliuiul returns. The official canvass of them is not made until the legislature meets in January, and only that body takes cognizance uf errors in them. The plurality amendment is curried by a large majority.

Thr Hiatus ofl-anda Occupied liy Indiana St. Loins, Sept. 21. Judge Krum( James 0. Broadhead and John F. Philips, a committee to report on tho slatus of the government lands of Indian territory, and particularly in tho Ocklaliuma strips, will report to a citizens' meeting to-night that the jurisdictions of this vast territory Was not acquired from the Indians, but bv purchase of tho United States from France. Tho Indians never had a title to the country! and simply occupied it under contract and permission from the United States, Tho government had by various so called treaties assigned to Indians throughout the country certain lands, but has never granted them freehold of the land in any case, nor can the government by treaty give them the right to occupy perpetuity. In fact, according to the law of nations, treaties can only be made be tween civilized people or nations. The president cannot will or dispose of lands by treaty; congress alono bus this power. Tho treaties were simply agreement to allow the Indians to cultivate lands under existing acts ol congress. Persons may enter pre-emption and homestead claim on any hinds not reserved by tho govern ment for other purposes. There can bo no valid objection to settlement of these lands. Sulfide of a Convict!

If the young of our migratory birds aro taken from their nest ami rearod by hand they become perfectly contented in confine ment, and do not pine for a freedom which they have never known. They make no effort to escapo from their cages and scorn to enjoy in full measure the happiness of mere animal lifo, with all wants supplied. But as the season for the migration of each species approaches n Hiruuge restlessness is maniiesteu oy tho caged bird, which was before bo con tented, although the cage is well sun- plied with its favorite food, ami it is kept in a warm room. This restlosness increases until tho bird spends several successive nights beating against the wires of its cage iu a vain endeavor to get away. After its relatives have all sought their southern homes its quiet and content gradually return, so that it is to more troubled by this blind impulse to escape. This manifestation of the migratory instinct, where the example of otuers oi me species, a aimmisUetl foot! supply, or tho discomforts of a reduced temperature could have no influence, have been observed in the bobolink, oriole, catbird, bluebird, house wren, finch, grass finch, sons soarrow. and several others, and it indicates an inher ited organization in which the migratory luijjuiBe ia uxeu as uaoti trial no tem porary change of external conditions can eradicate.

Ill pended from one of the belts auti nan for a repeating carbine. In addition to theso accouutremonts aro a formidable looking kuifo (to bo used, however, for the innocent purpose of butchering game or cutting pork) and a lantern quirt hanging from the wearer's wrist. The owner of this ominous finery rides a tough, square-built chunk of a pony, which at times evinces a morbid desire to send his owner flying through the sky. The saddle on the pony is a well housed, "double-rigged" one, made, as shown by the quantity of leather used, with an eye to the encouragement of the trade in that staple. Slung from the high horn and eantel of the- saddle is a gun sheath containing a Winchester car bine, and also attached to the horn are a coil of rope and a water canteen. A pair of saddle-bags lie across the scat. At the back of the saddle are tied ooat and ovorcoat of oiled canvas in cowboy's language, a "slicker." Such an equip ment is the net outcome of cow-boy ex perience in search of the useful and the beautiful, and with such the cow-boy is prepared to travel through the world. Army Rations In Old England.

Two and two at once mtuio lour; 1110 story took a new turn; the gossips prog nosticated evil, and the young lady's friends, old and young, flocked to see her iu scores; but not a word was said oi Ernest Elmwood.

Mr, Bruce is a bright-faced ma of 40 years of age, with the appearance of 20, is a druggist at Providence, B.

But the end is not yet. The question now is, are Daniel Bruce, Jr. and Ernest Elm wood identical ? and if so, is this to be the end of Providential wife-getting in Kentucky ?

Mother Brltkertl j to. While at Bono the other day I had the good fortune to moot with "Mothor Brickerdyke," as the Union boys used to call her. No adult lover of his country need to be told who this lady is, or what her eventful and woful history. Living at Galesburg, 111., at the time of the breaking out of the rebellion, 6he at once hastened into tho field, bearing a pommissinn from the Governor of hor State as matron of fiolil hospitals. So discriminating, careiui, and executive was she that she soon won the confidence of the treneral officers, who acouiesced in and conorallv as- sisted in carrying out uer measures oi relief.

"Oh, well, rejoined Sherman, with a laugh, "you Had better resign and go home. 'Mother Brickerdyke' is al ways right in her judgment, and besides, there is no help for you, for she out ranks me." "Mother Brickerdyke," as she will al ways be called, happened at the Iteno denot when Secretary Schurz passed home lately. Eagerly the great states man pressed through the throng, and in loud tones called her up to him and gave her such a greet ing as few American women may claim. True to her instincts, Mrs. Bric kerdyke soon began to lecture him upon certain duties which, she thinks, devolve upon him to perform, the while several voices called out from the train, "Well, welll There's our grand old 'Mother Brickerdyke,' of the Army Hospital, and she's at her old business too of command ing ollicers!" and each pressed forward to grasp her hand and claim recognition. Mrs, B. is now Cti years old, rather stout, but hearty and active as ever. She eomea of a long-lived family, and expects 15 or 20 years of busy life yet. She has been foremost in establishing hospitals and orphan asylums in the east, and is now engaireil in lmiirovinir our school system, offering plans so wise and simple that our legislators will do well to hear and heed. Apache Devastation. , It is probable that there is not on thii continent a country possessing greater natural resources than the State of So. nora, Mexico. I has boon celebraUd for its. wonderful mineral wealth from time immemorial, and the' highest an. thorities are united in crediting it with agricultural and pastoral capabilities sm passing, perhaps, even thoso of Califor nia. Its native inhabitants are uuiver- sally admitted to be brave, hoapituhle and light hearted ; overflowing wjtll natural talent, fond of music, daaainp and the gentle and refining pleasnrrs of social intercourse. ' But what u sid fta has fallon upon a country and people originally destinod, apparently, to in herit a more than ordinary umro of worldly prosperity; for it must not be forgotten that, in addition to the enrse of revolution, which has blighted to such a terrible extent the whole of Moxico and which even now threatens its utter disintegration and ruin, Sonoiu lias suf fered from an infinity of local disorders, and accidents, from the inany'periUin cideut to the border State, from the r.iids of filibusters, tho. bitter quarrels and feuds of her own principal citizens, the antagonism of races, the insubordina tion of her industrious, but ca pricious, Indian population ; and last, but by no meuus least, from the terriblo, bloodthirsty, war like, insatiable Apaches. Terrible, indeed, has been the desolation wrought by these inhuman fiends, the implacable foes of all peaceful industry, and the arts of civilization; and almost equally cruel aud inhuman, it is sad to say, have been the reprisals which at occasional inter vals have been metod out to them by an outraged and exasperated community, Before reading tho terriblo story which follows, it is necessary to picture to one self the depopulated villages, the ruined hacienda, the deserted mines, the deso lation and misery created by this dreaded tribe, and to romember that tho war of civilizod races against the Indians is a war of industry and intelligence against a uotnadio people who have proved them selves, with a few rare exceptions, in capable of being elovated above a condi tion of barbarism; who require and de mand not acres, or hundred of acres, but countless thousands, to stitain each tribo; that tho most enlightened and humnue policy has hitherto wholly failed to convert them to tho arts of peace; that tho civilization of the entire continent is as desirable as it is inevitable; and that tho passions of the savage nature which run riot in the contest awake, inevita bly, tho almost equally savage passions of tho pioneers and frontiersmen, whose destiny it is to conquer or be conquered by them. Califurnian. ' An Afghan Woman's Shoes. Tho slippers and shoes are of Cabulese make, and are very pretty. On a pale green background beautiful patterns are worked with gold and silver thread and parti-colored silk, until the effect is more like that of a fairy slipper than one for daily use. But a stout leather sole is put on, with high heels rudely bound with iron, and then the work of art is com plete. The stalls in which their slippers and shoes are made are the gayest in the whole bazar. A Cabuleso's foot is small, almost to deformity, and the baggy trousers by contrast make them appear exceedingly petite. From the few faces seen, and those chiefly of old or passee women, it is difficult to judge of the famed beauty Cabuleso are said to boast of. The children are cortainly, as a whole, the prettiest I have ever seen. Their complex jons are red and whito with a tinge of olive pervading the skin, eyes black and lustrous, well-shaped features, teeth to make a western beauty envious, and bright,' intelligent looks that sadly belie the race to which they belong. Their mothers must be beauti ful, for their fathers aro generally vil-liaiious-looking; the men losing all the pleasing traits which as boys they pos sessed. The lady I have described as seen in the zebanna for a moment was certainly handsome, and was far lighter in cnmnlexion than a Spaniard: her eyes were certainly worth the praises sung by Hanz, but the sensuous nps were mm too full and pouting. It was just such a face as one imagines in a harem, and would be in keeping with the languorous lifo of a voluptuary to whom sensuality is a guiding star. Such faces always lack character, and would soon prove in sipid in the eves of the West. Tne Cabulese lady, when journeying, either carried in an elaborate- wicker work oage covered with the inevitable flowering linen, or rides Amazon fashion. Do Tour Work Well.
