Indlan Depredations.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks of the eettler’s wife watching, from the door of her rude hut, the retreating form of her husband going out to his dally labor—going out, perhaps, to return not again, for before nightfall a savage hand may have laid him low among the prairie grasses. Or it may be a child, a bright-eyed daughter, is snatched away In an unguarded moment, to grace the next war dance. When we read the heartrending details of these savage depredations, we are apt to blame the government for not taking more strict precautions to insure the settler’s protection. But we daily read of the depredations of that arch-fiend, consumption with scarcely a thought of the terrible inroads it is making In human life. Tens of thousands of homes are annually desolated by consumption to ono by Indian outrage.
