Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

(See Therapeutics.)In preparing the above list, I have not depended solely upon myown experience among the Indian tribes, but have drawn liberallyfrom the writings of Hubert Howe Bancroft, Tylor, Powell, Powers,Gibbs and have consulted General Crook, General Williams, ColonelRoyall, Lieut.W.L.Carpenter, 9th Infantry, and other officers whoseknowledge of Indian life is varied and accurate.The following is the complete list of works studied upon this subject,from most of which much valuable information has been derived.Tylor s Early History of Mankind and Primitive Man.Bancroft s (Hubert Howe.) Native Races of the Pacific Slope.Lubbock s Pre-Historic TimesYarrow s Mortuary Customs.Short s North America in Antiquity.(an Excellent work.)Morgan s Ancient Society. 312 THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGYSir Henry Maine s Early Institutions.17March 15th 1881.The newspapers this morning contain the informa-tion that the Czar of Russia18 was (March 13th) assassinated in thestreets of Saint Petersburgh.This is a good thing.Alexander beganlife as a just and moderate ruler, anxious to alleviate the sufferingsof his subjects; he freed the serfs and during our civil war remainedthe firm friend of our Government for both of which acts, the worldowes him a debt of gratitude.But his later years have been yearsof tyrannical severity towards his subjects, of licentious disregardof his vows to his wife (who died last year of a broken heart,)19 andof religious and political intolerance towards the unhappy peopleof Poland.I hope before many months to be able to chronicle the assassina-tion of Bismarck, one of the coldest-blooded and most unprincipledtyrants who have ever sprung into power.We, Americans, have the satisfaction of knowing that political troublein Europe means increased financial prosperity and power to ourown country.March 18th 1881.The newspapers this morning chronicle, withoutcomment, the fact that yesterday the first train started out fromKansas City, Mo.for San Francisco Cal., by way of the newly com-pleted Southern Trans-Continental Route.20 Within less than fiveyears, it is my belief that we shall have at least five lines runningacross the American Continent, including in this number any thatmay be built in Canada or Mexico.17.See note 11.18.Alexander II.19.Maria Alexandrovna, see Robinson, Diaries, 3:418.20.Southern Pacific, extending east from California, linked with Atchison, Topeka &Santa Fe in Deming, New Mexico, allowing completion of this route.

P.H.Sheridan,Lieutenant General.Thereupon, General Crook telegraphed as follows;Fort Omaha, Neb., March 20th 1881.Lieutenant-General P.H.Sheridan,Chicago, IllinoisBourke read his letter to me before sending it to you.It had myfullest approval and I consider the work he proposes very impor-tant.If you have no objection, I ll send him to Chicago to-morrow.(signed.) George Crook,313 314 THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGYBrigadier General.March 22nd 1881.Left Omaha, Neb., in obedience to the above tele-gram from Lieut.General P.H.Sheridan.The road between the Fortand city was in an extremely muddy condition from rapidly meltingsnow.The present winter has been phenomenal in severity, lasting,almost continuously, from October 10th, until the present date andduring nearly all that time only one night when snow melted.Therehas been more than twice as much snow this winter as during thewhole six years just past.Not only does it cover the fields to a depthvarying from 12 to 20 inches, but it fills the roads in drifts varyingfrom 5 to 20 ft.in height and has blocked all lines of rail in the Westand North-East.In three different ways will this Arctic severity ofthe present winter damage our R.R.interest:1st.In actual injury to tracks, bridges and culverts, either as snowdirect or as water from the freshets and floods occasioned by thaws;2nd In the stoppage of winter freights; and 3rd In the Impoverishmentof the farmers, miners and stockmen, who have been retarded somuch in their labor or deprived of such a percentage of their accu-mulations.When the next round-up of cattle is made, I am surethat many ranges in Nebraska, Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado willshow losses of not less than 60 @ 70 per cent; farmers will not beable to commence planting much earlier than April 15th and minershave been impeded in the work of development of their prospects by the failure to obtain necessary machinery as well as by the flood-ing of their shafts and drifts.1The city of Omaha is looking forward to a grand boom .The com-ing spring and summer 30.000.000 Brick have been ordered fromthe kilns, the extreme limit of their capacity.New brick buildings,of different kinds, nearly all of them good, solid structures are tobe erected by blocks and several new R.R. s will connect with thecity before the end of the year.I note here the suicide of General E.Upton, Colonel of the 4th Art., atSan Francisco Cali., during a fit of mental derangement, influencedby overwork and anxiety regarding his revised System of Tactics. 2Upton was regarded as one of the ornaments of the service; bravebright and accomplished.A gentleman of extended travel in all parts1.The floods of 1881 are discussed in Phil E.Chappell, Floods in the Missouri River. 2
