the '"Indian
Peace Policy." lie is, it seems, an advocate of the peace policy, so styled, r.nd proposed that a petition be sent by the conference to Washington, urging a continuance of the same.
Had he stopped at this point, his remarks would have been well enough. A diversity of opinion exists on tliissubject, and it is the high privilege of any religious body to manufacture pepetitions by the wholesale, though some persons may think that a concentration of their energies on the sole subject tor which the society was organized, might enable them the better to accomplish that object. Bnt M. Lawrence is a Republican politician, and we fear mixes more politics in his religion, than he does religion in his politics. In his remarks before the conference he went out of his way to say that the Democratic majority in the House cared very little about either civilization or Christianity. If Mr. Lawrence means civilization and Christianity in their broad and generic sense, he deserves rebuke as tlie utterer of a gratuitous slander, all the meaner for being delivered before a society tor the propogation of the ten commandments, one of which he so signally violated. People outside of that organization might very well suggest to it, in view of this tirade of Mr. Lawence, that it had better cease petitioning congress, and devote some' of its energies to teaching this Ohio congressman the commandments.
If Mr. Lawrence means by the Christianity and civilization which the democratic majority is opposed to, the kind exhibited to the world by a very large number of high- republican officials at Washington, his remarks, though still out of place, are decidedly complimentary to the party he tries to denounce. We presume this latter is what he means, for he refers to Grant indirectly as an example of
Christianity
and civilization. We further presume that the ire of Mr. Lawrence has been aroused by the vigorous manner in which the dominant party lias been investigating the "civilized" practices of Belknap, B&bcock and other tried friends of the president. Christianity and civilitfatiGn as exhibited by Mr. Delano and his son John, who "run'' the Interior Department between them,and robbed the Indians in the most shameful ^manner, is not such a spectacle as any party might be ashamed of. opposing. Unless Mr. Zachariah Chandler, now at the head of the Interior Department and the guardian of the Indians, if the peace policy is continued, has experienced a change of heart since the time when he was accustaned to buy his way into the Senate from Michigan, and we should not consider him such an exemplification of Christianity, or of. civilization, or of temperance, as even a decent heathen might not feel it his moral duty to oppose.

A reporter of the Indianapolis Herald, has visited the Infej ne Asylum, and writes as follows concerning two Terre Hauteans living there:
In another ward, I saw Colonel Baird, of Terre Haute, whose brilliant career as a lawyer is so well '. nown. He has been in the institution about two months, and seems to be improving, a marked change for the better havirg taken place during the previous week. He is disinclined to sec company. As soon as he observed a stranger he turned his back, and contemplated the view«.jfc 0111 his window with great interest. $ lie occupies pleasant quarters, having room nicely furnished, opening from one of the general apart rnents. In the,mirror beside which we stood I saw reflected a tall, handsome man, standing ih rn attitude of dignified composure, looki ig the very reverse of insane, and yeth's once fine mind is broken, though nothjpelessly so.

He! lad made a pencil mark at the head of .ihe articles in the paper which pleascd^liim, and I observed that a column headea ,, sS ., "SL'GGFEITIVE AXECBOTES had captivated' him. These were small paragraphs oMhe doleful humor which religious newspapers are pleased to paltir oft"upon their'rredulous readers as funny. Another coluifiu which he looked upon with favor was under the suggestive title 'Make Haste |o be Rich," and was-a somewhat aanmonius and decidedly positive essaf against the evils which attend? suddenly acquired riches, and th® ills which are sure to belong to theifpursuit.

The delivery wagons connected with these establishments, would make a respectable procession. Rippetoe has built up his business on a solid foundation, and he is not the sort of man who is affected with hard times He deals in standard articles of household necesity.and as lie is known to keep nothing but the best, his trade never grows slack. When you have learned to your sorrow that, that little corner grocery who sells about two dollars worth of goods per day, has been palming off adulterated and in fcrior goods on you, don't try another of his kind, but go to Rippetoe where you are sure to fin .i everything as it is reprasented.

Mrs. Dawson and Mrs. Dawson's Husband. The GAZETTE some time ago contained an account of how Mr. Dawson, of Montezuma, had been here for three or four-weeks looking for his wife, whom he expected to come down from there. He| remained around the depot for a long1 time regularly, inquiring of everybody whether they had seen or heard of her. He then disappeared, and had not been gono two days before Mrs. Dawson appeared and commenced inquiring for 'her husband. She had been prevented from coming down as soon as she expected. She kept up inquiries for some time, just as her husband had done, and had about given up in despair when he appeared. Thev hud merely missed each other. He had been working at Montezuma.
THE OCEAN.
Some Thoughts Upon Planet, Inspired at Sea.
Written by Charles Eppinghousen. Ox THE OCEAX, April 1S76. The main cause of the awful and infinite impression of the ocean, so commended by poets, consists in its being the clearest visible proof that our earth is a globe, of which we behold but a minute segment of about twenty-four mi!e i.o diameter, twelve miles from the point of sight in all directions, and it takes but little imagination to feel as though we were just nearing and alighting0 upon this tremendous body, to find it full of life ,'iiuj breathing, as it were, with its rcuiliir ebb ami ilflfi ViHiy

The poles, or giant lenses, of probably eternal glaziers, are the
"EYES OF THIS AWFIL WORK DIVIXE," reflecting on their surfaces of probably 400 miles in diameter, the sister planets of the system of the sun, in the most minute perfection. One of these so-called polls is imersed in shadow, for nearly one-half of .one revolution around the sun. May it not be to rest there, and give the first, being out of reach of the dazzling brilliancy of the sun, a kind permit to see its distant convcse among the sister -planets?
This most important of all her organs, is so wisely fortified by the creator, that a series of polar expeditions, the most earnest efforts of the best men of our most enlightened nations, were unable to penetrate further than near its brow, the icy regions of the poles.
May not the mysterious aurora borealis be reflected light of the great lense, as well as streams of electricity, generated at that very spindle of the globe, which is the most quiet and stationary spot upon her surface.
Upon the surface of this all dispensing marvel of this city, we minute beings walk, amid its trees and shrubs, which are, akin to the hair on our head, not unlike minute insects on our own bodies.
The clouds proclaim her being, and the evaporation of her transcendant existence as vertlv a thing of life. Electricity, and the combined intelligence of created beings npon its surface, are
THE SOUL, THE SPIRIT OF THE WHOLE, proclaiming to man how grand and infinite are the eowers above, of whom lie forms but one atom.
Twice in twenty-four houra breathes the MIGHTY THINGS OF EBB AXDTIDE and the year is but a day, one part to rest, one part to work in endless production, in her joyous course a grand harmonious chord with her attendant child, the moon, around the most brilliant celestial object visible to the eve of man the center of our planetary system, the sun, who sheds his refulgent rays of splendor and benefaction to all the children of her train.

ITS RIVERS, STREAMS.

THE INTERIOR BOWELS OF THE EARTH arc near a ''melted mass of lire,'' digesting earth and rocks and metals, and its heat is akin to the heat of life in animal existence, intreased in proportion to its great size, and probably aids in causing the power of attraction, vulgarily called weight. Connected with this molten centre are
