An Indian agent who was a militia colonel desired to Impress the Indians with the magnitude of his dignity. He dressed himself In full uniform, with his sword by his side, and rising in the council told them that one reason why the great father had had so much trouble with his red children was that he had sent civilians to them. “You are warriors,” he said, "and when the great father saw me he said, ‘I will send this man, who is a great warrior, to my red children, who are warriors, and they will hear his words.’ ” An old chief arose and. surveying the speaker from head to foot, said calmly: “Since I was a small boy I have heard that white men have great warriors. I have always wanted to see one. I have looked upon one. and now I am ready to die.”—"Reminiscences of the Bishop of Minnesota.” \ Duma.’ Dramatic Intnltlon.

When the point encounters anything, he makes a few swift passes over the surface and generally determines the exact character of the obstacle. It Is done so quickly and deftly ns to attract no attention, and few passers have the least suspicion of the idd flian’s infirmity.
