Disgraced

An Iridian thief was turned over to the chief of his tribe, at San Diego, Cal., arfH by him sentenced to receive a hundred lashes. The oulprit was a big, powerf ui fellow ; but he submitted quietly to being tied to the siile of a high wagon, with his legs and arms extended, and his back bared. A stalwart lndian struck the blows with all his might, using a leather lariat, and making the blood flow at every stroke. The victim endured ;he dreadful torture in grim silence for a while, and then broke out in agonized screams. If he had remained silent to tlie end, the chief would have restored him to the tribe ; but, as he 'cried like a coward baby," he was afterward driven out of the neighborhood.
