He is treacherous -- oh, beyond imagination! he is faithful, loyal, true--the white man's records supply you with a harvest of instances of it that are noble, worshipful, and pathetically beautiful.

He kills the starving stranger who comes begging for food and shelter there is proof of it.

He succors, and feeds, and guides to safety, to-day, the lost stranger who fired on him only yesterday--there is proof of it.

He takes his reluctant bride by force, he courts her with a club, then loves her faithfully through a long life--it is of record.

He gathers to himself another wife by the same processes, beats and bangs her as a daily diversion, and by and by lays down his life in defending her from some outside harm--it is of record.
