affairs, as to their moral status, and was always told that
when fairly treated they are quite reliable."

Gen. Crookes said of the Apaches, that while they were protected on
their reserves from outside aggression they were as well behaved and
orderly as any community of people in the United States.

It is true, they killed Generals Canby and Custer, but the first had,
contrary to preliminary agreement, moved his soldiers twenty-five
miles, and placed them in two companies on each side of the place
where the treaty was to be made. The first demand of the Modoc chief
was, to take back the soldiers, and it was not until a long delay, and
a firm refusal on the part of Canby, that the Modoc chief fired the
fatal shot.

And as for Custer and his men, they fell while ignobly, and without
right or authority, invading the peaceful home of Sitting Bull and his
people.

General Harney says:

"I have lived fifty years on the frontier, and I have never
known an Indian war in which they were not in the right."

Dr. McLaughlin said:

"I have been fifty-three years an Indian trader, and more than
fifty years superintendent of the Hudson Bay Fur Company, and
in all that time, I have never seen an occasion to shed the
blood of an Indian. The American people suppose that their
revenge is proof of savagery. But that is a mistake. It is
their sense of justice, and whatever they do is but an echo of
what has been done to them. They believe as Moses taught,
blood for blood, life for life."

Gen. Fremont said:

"I lived two years among the Indians with only one white
woman, and was never more kindly treated. I lost nothing,
although all I had was accessible to them."

Surely, testimony like this, in connection with their healing
magnetism so freely given to Spiritualism, should awaken sympathy if
not gratitude in their behalf.--_New Thought_.

ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN.--Anatomy is considered the driest and most
difficult of biological studies, but a careful attention to our
description of the brain will show that it is very intelligible. After
we get through with the anatomy, the description of organs and their
functions is simple and practical. Every one should understand the
outlines of cerebral anatomy, and then he can discuss the subject with
imperfectly educated physicians, and show them their e
