Although com- taining a modicum of honor the remun-a oration is so slight that but little anx- iety is exhibited towards attaining‘the distinction. The municipal legislative chamber of a township does not always embody the intelligence of; the com-‘ munity. ' This is a fact which we have frequently had occasion .to-notice, and one which is certainly to he (deplored. Men who have the requisite capacity cannot be induced to. serve, and grad~ ually these positiéns. which at one time were eagerly sought after are losing their prestige, and often it is with diffi- culty the nominations are even com“ pleted This should not be. IT sounds rather odd to hear an In- dian chief. demanding from the Wash~ i'ngton' authorities a map of his home in the Fan West, and information as to the extent and boundaries of the terriu tory; Big Mane, a Bmle chief, made such a quaint but Withal pathetic appeal the other day. He said that he had no 1 learning, that he could not write, that he had no books like the white man, and that in justice to himself and his people, he wanted a map of his country, and full information as to its extent and boundaries. This was his simple eloquent way of saying that he envied the superior knowledge of the whites, but that he had some appreciation of the use to which that. knowledge had been put to rob him of hisiheritage. 'II the United States were to do the Inn ' dian justice, maps might hang in every Wigwam so far as the cost of them is , concerned. ‘ Uh: Wuudvmc gamut: Aw vyw \M \MA. WOOD VILLE.
