The month too often seems to treat the sea- son as Samson treated the Philistines after Delilah had bound him with withes. It breaks the bonds which seemed to have im- »prisoned it in the lap of Summer, and, throw- ing them to the winds, runs off. If we have not indicated the character of Summer with sufficient correctness it is because the very in- fluence of the atmosphere inserts a vagueness ‘and uncertainty into the mind. We dread that Probabilities will ‘‘go back” on us, and sagainst our will attribute to him something of the same treachery for which the almanac vused tobe famous. This disturbs the mind, and, unable to place confidence where we would like to, oug imaginations grow con- fused, and we end by becoming meteorologic -seeptics.

Frost is jealous of flowers, and to-morrow our moses may beas red as the rose which we employ them so dreamily in smelling to-day.

Tae Farmers’ Nationa, Concress met at Indianapolis on Thursday iasi and adjourned on the following day. As indicating the strength of the farmors’ organization it may be stated that twenty-four States were repre- sented, from Vermont to Georgia, embracing ninety societies, with one hundred and fifty delegates. According to the report of the ‘Secretary there are already ten thousand agri- -Cultural associations in the country, with an ag- gregate membership of four hundred thousand farmers. It appears that two-thirds of these associations have been organized within the ,past six months, The question of transporta- tion was the most important one discussed by the Congress, free trade having been given the go-by. The procecdings were not charac- terized by any demonstrations of a political ‘character. Nevertheless, an organization{that “embraces four hundred thousand members, with certain political tendencies, is too tor- midable to be despised by either political party, and neither is likely to do so.

LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION. ‘fhe Cortes then organized by electing Selor Orense, afederal republican, its President. Sketch of the President of the Parlia- ment, Sefior Orense, who has been chosen, according to our news telegram from Madrid, President of the Spanish Constituent Cortes, is one of the most remarkable men, judged by the events of nis public career, in Spain. The following sketch of his life will prove interesting to the readers of the HERALD :— Don José Maria Orense, Marquis d’Albaida, is the Bayard ef the republican party in Spain, and also the Barbes, in a good acceptation of the name. He made his first campaign by fighting against the troops of the Duke d’Angouléme. In 1826 he again put himself at the head of the party of action and was forced to fly into exile, after having in vain sacrificed almost his whole fortune in the triumph of his cause. etree te Spain at the death of Ferdinand VIL, in 1833, Don José became the first man of the democratic party, and subse- quently its leader in the Cortes. In 1848 he gave at Madrid the signal of a republican in- surrection which was crushed by Espartero, Being again iorced to leave the country, he sought an asylum in the French Republic. Restored to his own country by favor of an am- nesty, he was re-elected to the Cortes, and irom a Deputy became—a galley slave! The all-power- ful and not very patient Narvaez, to whom he had written a letter someting more than irreveren- tial, caused him to be arrested, to be brought to trial for exciting hatred and contempt of the government, and to be condemned to the hulks. Don José Maria Orense, Deputy, underwent his *punishment at the fortress of Ceuta. Alter a certain time Narvaez, yielding to the indignant ery 01 public opinion, restored him to liberty—that isto say, to exile. Don Orense again took refuge in France, and, in 1852, passed into Belgium, whence he returned to Spain after the movements of 1854. There he put himself at the head of the republican insurrection of the Basi- lios, which, repressed by the energy of Espartero, led to his being thrown into prison. On his libera- tion he was nominated* by the people of Madrid member of the Cortes and directed the ultra-demo- cratic faction in that assembly. He was one of the nineteen who voted the abolition of the monarchy. At the epoch of the O'Donnell coup d'état he lett the capital to raise the provinces, He was arrested, incarcerated, and in the end expelled, for the tourth time. He re-entered Spain by favor of the revolution which, in 1868, precipitated Queen Isabella irom the throne; presided at ular meetings in Madrid, protested against the re-establishment of the monarchy, and, by means of manifestations more or less pacific, de- manded the federative Republic, He was, how- ever, again chosen ie) endl and, once more in the Cortes, resumed his theme with new ardor. His ideas of a federative constitution were rejected by the vote of May, 1869, and the monarchical form carried. Arrested in October, alter some riot in which he was thought to be concerned, he ex- patriated himself for the fifth time, but has since returned to the Spanish Republic 1rom his place of retreat at Bayonne.

The Murderer of Dr. Thomas Made a Peace Commissioner. THE LAST RETREAT OF CAPTAIN JACK. 21 Migs Nortn or Boy.e’s CAMP, TOLE LAKE PENINSULA, May 29, 7 P. M. The cavalry and artillery commands and the Warm Spring Indians, under Colonel Green, left Boyle's Camp at two o'clock this morning and rode hot haste to Clear Lake, where General’ Davis is- sued special orders for the scouts, Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, Shack Nasty Jim and Hooker Jim, who accompanied the expedition, to lead the way to CAMP ON THE BANKS OF WILLOW CREEK, } JACK’S WILLOW CREEK RETREAT. ‘They led the troops to a point near Jack's retreat, within a mile of the stronghold. Colonel Has- brouck passed up the north side of the creek with bis squadron, and Captain Jackson’s squadron went over the creek, along the south side. Cap- tain Hasbrouck having a mile further to travel than Captain Jackson did not arrive at .the stronghold in time to accomplish the desired con- nection, JACK WAS NEVERTHELESS SURPRISED. At two o'clock this afternoon Jackson's men came across two pickets on a bluff near the creek, and ran them through the juniper to Jack’s retreat. The fleeing Modocs cried out:— “RUN QUICK, RUN QUICK, THE coMING!” Captain Jackson deployed his skirmishers along the face of the bluff, Though expecting to, receive @ heavy fire, the men ran to the front like deer, under the lead of their oMcers. Suddenly the Mo- docs conversant with English cried out:— “Surrender! Surrender! We no fight. We want talk peace. We like peace talk.” BOSTON CHARLEY, the murderer of Rev. Dr. Thomas, came in full view and was immediately covered by a dozen rifles. Charley offered to surrender and was allowed to come into camp. Ashe feared the Warm Spring scouts he threw down his rifle and extended his hand, a token of friendship. The proffered member was cordially grasped by the scouts, Charley was then passed to the rear, under guard. Next he was taken to the other Modoc captives and by them interviewed. He said that several of Captain Jack’s best warriors wanted to leave him and come to our camp, and VOLUNTEERED TO PUT UP A JOB. His gun was returned him and he was allowed to depart on his mission. Hardly had this ar- rangement been effected when a rifle in the hands of Steamboat Frank accidentally discharged. Several Modocs who stood near, with uplifted hands, decamped. At this point the accident was explained to Charley and all suspicions of foul play were banished, when an- other accident CAUSED CHARLEY MORE ANNOYANCE. Captain Hasbrouck’s command reached the edge of the creek as Charley came over the blutt, and of course he was gathered in as a prisoner the second time, BOSTON CHARLBY, AS A PEACE COMMISSIONER, two hours afterwards was sent after the fleeing Modocs, but he failed to overtake them. shot other than an accidental one was fired. Had Hasbrouck formed the desired connec- tion in time, the entire band woald have been killed or captured, but it was impossible for his command to accomplish the task. His tréps did all that couid be done by any men. They rode over fragments of lava and one mile further tnan the distance ridden by Captain Jackson's command, THE CAPTIVES. The surprise resulted in the surrender of Boston Charley, Princess Mary (sister of Captain Jack), Black Jim’s woman and five other female Modocsa, ranging from nine to ninety years of age, and seven ponies and mules. ESCAPED AGAIN. The Modocs actually slipped from the grasp of the troops. There was no help for this result. Captain Jack's retreat this time was inside of the canyon through which rans the Willow Creek. The canyon has precipitous sides, aver- aging forty feet high. There are but few places where the canyon can be entered by troops within six miles of Captain Jack's last home. The Modocs escaped by running down the canyon, s0 now the Modoc captives will try to wean more of Captain Jack's warriors from him. Many officers predict a speedy settlement of the war. We sleep among the juniper to-night, SOLDIERS ARE CAPTAIN JACK. Who Raised Him, Who Named Him and Whom He is Named Aft (From the Portland (Oregon) Herald.) Our reporter has obtained irom Mrs. Joseph Knott, an old lady living in‘this city, and nearly seventy years of age, the following account oi Cap- tain sack :— In the year 1851, while living at Canonville, Doug- lass pa B an Indian boy came to their house, and, speaking the pape. desired to live with them. He was one of the Rogue River Indians, and be- longed to the tribe then located on Cow Creek. She noticed that he appeared to be an active, keen, shrewd looking boy, and with the consent of her husband took him to raise, with whom he remained several years, As soon a8 the boy was assured that they intended to keep him, he insisted on having a ‘Boston’ name, as he called it, and wished to be named aiter the best looking of Mrs. Knott's children. ‘This being appre- ciated by the mother, she decided to name him after her son—their ages, apparently, being about the same—and this son was J. Knott, better known as Jack Knott, of saloon fame, The boys grew up together, and many were the days they spent in the sports of the chase. On one occasion. the had been with them some time, he became offended because he was told to leave the Toom, a! added his rifle with the intention of shooting Levi Knott, but was discovered in season to prevent his de- signs, This circumstance led to his expul- sion the family, and from that un- til the present time he not been seen by them, except in 1865, the year in which he Speraered Mrs. Harris, after which Jack went to the e country.

Joseph Howe. By telegram from Halifax we are informed that the Hon. Joseph Howe, the newly appointed Lieu- tenant Governor of Nova Scotia, died at Govern- ment House yesterday morning, at five o'clock, aged sixty eight years, His death was sudden, for although ill and feeble during the last few months it was confidently expected he would regain his usual heaith and live to enjoy his new honors for some time to come. Being the first native Governor of the Province who rose from the ranks of the people his unexpected demise canses deep sorrow 1m the community among all classes of the peopie, by whom he was highly esteemed, Flags are fying at half-mast from all the shipping in port and also frem all the pubiic buildings and forts of Halifax in honor of his memory. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Hon. Joseph Howe, the gentleman whose death we report above, was chosen by the new Dominion government of Canada delegate to Washington, to negotiate lor the conclusion of a treaty of re- ciprocity with the United States, so that a sketeh of his public career becomes particularly mterest- ng. Mr. Howe was @ native of Nova Scotia, He began life as printer’s “devil in Halifax, and graduvaliy worked his Way up te high position, He was com- sitor, then reporter, next a bit of a poet, whew he made verses in the albums o1 young ladies and for the press. At this time he was, it is said, @ bit of & “beau,” as well as poet, and “Joe Howe’ was welcome at ail the parties, both public and in the private domestic circle. In time he became an editor, and aspired to authorship, He was next elected to Pariiament for a county constituency, and in 1854 we find him in the government of that day. At that time he advocated the scheme of Canadian couiederation, which he aiterwards strongly Opposed. — In 181 he was again in the Ministry of the day, and even then was not adverse to contederation, On the sth of March, 1867, the British louse of Commons passed the “Union act,’? which received the royal assent on the 28th of the same month. Writs of election were issued without delay in the New Dominion, and Mr. Howe was returned for the county of Hants, The si year Mr. Howe, with Mr. Annand, went to England to oppose the scheme of coniederation ; and from 1867 to 1868 the iormer Was Jucile princeps of the repeal party; but 1860 finds him cautiously changing sides, if not his views. The attentions of the “home” government and those of the new Do- minion Cabinet gained him over trom, at least, active opposition in repeal. He then became at question, so vital to lus Province, Mr jained hale and vigorous, His intel- lect Was unimpaired, and he was considered the most able man of Nova Scotia. In 1867 he made in thet new Dominion House of Commons some tell- ing speeches against coniederation, and the late Mr. D'Arcy McGee made an attempt to answer him, but only equalled Mr. Howe wm length of ad- dress, Mr. Howe was thought, in Canada, to have a leaning towards the United States. His mission to Washington gained him favor, both in Ottawa and Halifax, as a renewal of the Treaty of Reciproc would lessen, in his province, the evils of con- ted eration. ‘In appearance Mr. Howe was of jam height and well made, His lace was intel. went and his simile winning, while bis ferchead was ampie and mdicative of talent. He was a good debater, and one of the best speakers in the new Dowinion House of Commons. Charles Minturn, Charles Minturn, one of the earliest settlers of the State of Califoinia, and a much. respected citi- zen, has just died in San Francisco from the effects of an attack of epilepsy. He was born in the State of New York, in the year 1815, being at the time of his death fifty-eight years of age. His relatives in the city of New York have been noted for busi- ness enterprise. His father was aleading ship- ping merchant. During his early manhood he was associated with the firm of Wood- hull & Minturn, doing a heavy commission v New York and Liverpool. In n contributed much, may be sald to have inaugurated the Liverpool packet te. In 1849 his brother bought the steamer Senator, and together they became interested in its eventinl movements on the coast of Caliiornia. Charlies Minturn took charge ol the enterprise and brought the steamer to Caliiornia, where he was enabled to make use of the investment in a most profitable manner. He soon became identified with tie lead- ing movements in practically developing the busi- ness of San Francisco. in 1850 he built what was then known as Cunningham's wharf, a little to the north of Vallejo street, This old landmark, which was one of the earliest structures ottne kind, has since disappearea, S0.me time afterward he built the Vallejo street wharf, at a great cost, and from it reaped a for- tune. This he held until the terin of his lease from the State for the water front occupied had ex- pired. In early days he organized the Contra Costa Company and puton the first boat that plied be- tween San Francisco and Oakland. | This boat, the Erastus Corning, was constructed of iron, brought out in pieces trom the Eastern States, In 1854 he put his steamers, the Senator and New World, and other property, into the California Steam Naviga- tion Company, with which he continued for a long time to be connected, He occupied, as a residence, the building in which he died, more than twenty years. He was a member of the Masonic Order, and his memory is cherished by the brotherhood, FIRE IN BALTIMORE.

THE GREAT FATHER'S WARNING UNNEEDED. The Kickapoos Consigned to the Military for Punishment. WASHINGTON, June 1, 1873, As there fasbeen much speculation throughout the country regarding the recent punishment of the Kickapoo Indians in connection with the reported invasion of Mexican territory by a cavalry force ander Colonel McKenzie, the following semi- oMcial statement explains the attitude of the ad- ministration :— It was determined last Fall ro stop the roving bandsof Indizns, give them reservations and re- quire them to be om the lands designated within a reasonable time; not later tham January, The Prestdent instructed the Secretary of tae Interior to inform the Superintendents ant Indian agents located tn the vicinity of the predatory bands that the Great Father is exhausted, his heart is angry and ht hand will be found’ heavy against all who -@o not obey him, stop their roving life and peacefully go on the reservations assigned them, If they do not obey him he will send hie soldiers to punish them. The Modocs, Apaches, and Kickapoos were about the only bands which resolutely opposed the order of the Prest- dent. The result of the campaign against the Modoc: and Apaches is already known, The Kickapoos occupied foreign territory, and for their removal Congress made ample appropriation. It Was inteaded to give them good lands in the south- western part of the Indian ‘verritory, and a cavalry escort was promised through Texas to prevent any revengeful attack by the Texans. All propositions for their leaving Mexican soil were rejected and their future care was assigned to the army. An- tieipating a renewal of their forays into Texas, and | in order that the entire frontier might be under one command, the Department of Texas was added to the Military Division of the Missouri under Lieutenant General Phil. Sheridan. The visit of the Secretary of War to Texas in March had no oMctal significanee whatever, Partly for recrea- tion an! partly for the purpese of ascertaming whether the Department was as economically man- aged as it should be, be accompanied Generat Sheridan on his inspecting tour. From the latter Colonel McKenzie received instructions substan- tially to pursue and punish the Kickapoos the first Ume a decisive blow couid be struc Nothing was said regarding an invasion of Mexican territory ; and, so far as is known, he obeyed the instructions of his superior oficer, without discussing the pro- priety of crossing the Rio Grande in executing them, It is not expected his oMecial report will explain or account for any alleged violation of the territory of Mexico, The first intimation will come from the Mexican government, It will then remain for this government to make such defence of the past or future conduct of its military officers on the Texan border as the peace and protection of our people in this part of the country may demand, The Kickapoos, as already stated, are included among the number which have: been turned over to the army for punishment. There is no reason to doubt but what that order will be strictly obeyed, while it 1s equally certain no order has emanated from the President author- izing the invasion of any part of Mexican territory by the federal forces. ‘The Mexican Minister has not yet received a full official account of the particulars attending Colonet McKenzie’s operations against the Lipans and Kickapoos, and therefore is not now prepared to represent the case to our government with a view to explanations, There is no doubt these will be placed on the ground of the duty of the government to protect its citi- zens and punish all hostile invaders of our soil wherever found, the Me n government being unwilling or unable to prevent such incursions, It is said in military circles that the operations of Celonel McKenzie will doubless serve as a.warning to all armed bands who cross to our territory for stealing or murderous purposes, Kickapoo Characteristics, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: As so little is known by the general reader respecting the different Indian tribes on our frontier, some facts relating to the Kickapoos, whom General McCook recently gave a gooa whip- ping, may prove interesting. I was in the service of the government in 1842 in the Upper Red River, and there became acquainted with them. These Kickapoos have committed more crimes than any other tribe of Indians West. They are a body of bad men—brave, daring and bloodthirsty—and may be termed, as far as their fighting and hunting qualities go, “the Kings of the jorest.”’ Ali tribes dread them, as they seldom visit any location without either stealing horses or committing some mis- demeanor. When the white people first com- menced setling on Red River, above the mouth ot Kiamicha, these Indians murdered and robbed un- ceasingly, mutilating the bodies of their poor victims dreadiuily. Their movements were so swilt and the country, at that day, 80 sparsely settled, that it was impossible to follow and fight them with any chance of suc . From Red R.ver they would go to the Rio ‘ande, when the Mexicans—for whom they had a perfect contempt— would suffer. In person they are fine looking, tall and very athletic, You seldom see one under five feet six. AS marksmen they are unequalled. tnuaily practising, their favorite distance sixty to one hundred yards oi hand, gid the rifle well up to their shoulder, and as steauy as ifina vice, shoot very quick, and when hunting never wait for the deerto stop. In season a hunter will average twenty deer a day, In dress they are perfect Puritans ; a have “no glittering ygaws: stuck about them ;” leggings and moccasins out of well dressed dearskins, with a shirt made out of bive ariling completes their toilet. They wear their hair cat short, unlike all other Wesrern tribes. Great credit should be given General McCook and his brave boys for the summary punishment in- flicted upon them. J ARI MATTERS. iliac Clinton Hall—Close of the Season. We think that anyone who reviews the season which is just about to expire at Clinton Hail, will do the presiding geniuses of the salesroom there the justice to admit that that season has been con- ducted with taste, liberality, energy and an ha- bitaal desire to combine elegance with variety. True, these qualities have not always been evident in the same degree, There were some exhibitions at the Broadway gallery of this firm, and some sales at Clinton Hall which were not broad and faithful expositions of what enterprises of this Kind eught to be. Some pic- tures, it must be admitted, did little justice to the names inscribed upon them, and some names en- JjJoyed @ reputation that was factitious. Bat when we obtain a firm of art auctioneers who offer noth- ing but the best works of the best talent we shall have acquired an ideal firm that any public, whether Lere or in Europe, is far too ignorant and plodding to appreciate. All that we can reason- ably demand is that parties transacting the busi- ness shall pessess taste and conscience; that their dealings shall be tair, and their process urbane and intelligent. We have no disposition to. demand that the business man of the period shall be nearer in altitude to the angels than average mankind.
