The record of the United States in its treatment of the Indian tribes is fully as lufamous as that of the Spaniards of the natives of South America and Mexico ; It is of a 01198111l' 111 whieh cruelty, robbery, slaughter, are the salient traits. ' The In- dian," says Bishop Whipple, "is not in any groes souse an idolater. His universe is peopled with spirits. He recognizes a Creat Spirit ; ho believes in a future life, He has a passionate love for hie children, and will gladly die for his people, He is a true frieed and ie bitter enemy. I have never known an instance where the Indian was the first to violate plighted faith." These are filets. History will prove that there never has been en Maims war in the United States in which the b,diats were the aggressors, The treatment extended to the Storax and Ojibway Indians is one 11)8talnoe like a thou- sand others. The latter tribe " justly claimed," according to the bishop, arrears for more than 850,000, ander obs treaties which had never been paid. " Theo sold 501110 of the most beautiful laid fn !Minne- sota for a cent old a half an acre ender the promise that it should become the !tome of a friendly body of Indians, who would be a protection against their enemies, the Deco- ta115." No sooner was the treaty made than tie region was opened for white settlement, He further says that the Dacotahs sold 800,- 000 acres of land for the purpose of seeming money to aid hi their civilization. At the cud of four years all the land thus sold was taken up by whitesettlers, and the Dacotalls had not received a single Dent, "This," writes Bishop Whipple, "and the withhold- ing of their annuities n11802 for two months, precipitated that awful Inassecee in which 800 of our citizens were slain." Is it strange that these and similar occurrences "tnacle the cheeks of the bishop blush with shame?" Ho denounces the Indian policy in vi oroes and scathing language. It was n blunder and a crime. "It recognized no personal ;righto of property, it gave no protection to person or life; it punished no crime. Its emoluments were rewards for political ser- vices, and most of the Indian treaties were need as a key to unlock the public treasury. lAt best, it established heathen a111sllonses to graduate savage paupers. He relates some ' of the incidents connected with this policy in the region where heserved. "Three white men passed a sleeping Indian, One said, 'I will kill the darned redskin,' and drew his !rifle and shot ]rim. No one was punished. 'An Indian woman (lied n1 a border village from brutal violence. The agent was ap- pealed to and said, 'it is none of my busi- ness.' A mixed -blood killed an Indian woman; he was arrested and sent to the United States fort. After a confinement of three months the Secretary of War ordered his discharge, saying slat there was no law to punish an Indian, Such are some of the features of his experience with the Italians, He relates ppethetic incidents involving the love of mothers for their dead children and of the longing of Indians to bo near the grave of their relatives, lie saw an old ratan sitting on the bank of the Upper Missiesipppi and gave him some food. He invited the old man to go with him for is week daring his stay in the Indian country. "If you will go with me I will feed you, for I have plenty of provisions. and when we part I will give you all the stores I have left.' He said: You have a kind heart, I thank yet, My old wife ie sleeping in ie grave yonder. I can not go away from her, for she will be lone - sone." The Indians believe that the depart- ed spirit lingers by its grave, Tommv's Business Venture, Tommy wenteu some money. He hadn't many ')helices to earn it, though willing, eery willing to work pretty hard for it. Ile wanted ten dollars before the next winter's winds and snow's shut the Lane family in for day's, inside thelittle redfarM- house et Maple Grove farm, five miles from a neighbor. Ten dollars would, if divided right, briug weekly and nl0utlrly bright periodicals from different portions of the busy world into their own little home. And then when the .blizzards came, awl he sat at the little mend table getting hie daily lessons, motley and father, too, welld spend the !tours delightfully, sitting beside the fire reading something eery "good." It's not nice to be a "shut in," when your home is a shall cabin away out upon aweir-1 ie if you have nothing new to read and very few neighbors, and those living out of sight. Tommy's home was part dug out, Their Ere in the winter was fed by bundles of twisted grass, sun flower seed, corn•stelks,' dry weed stalks, and sparing handfuls of coal. Coal was precious. le ood was eery' valuable. Tommy helped with all his strength the loving mother gather, in their seasons, first, the wild. strawberries, then raspberries, plums, grapes, and hoe in the garden from ,planting until harvest time. Between thou they had filled jars and glasses full of nice fruit for winter use, gather- ed in a supply of pumpkins, squashes, beans, potatoes, and other good things, width were stored in the "cave"for the rainy days when they could not work. Tommy helped his father, too, in the " aro tending and gathering, Mr. and Mrs tale thought their littlelat l a " wonder- fully Lriaht boy." At twelve, Tommy was stout and tamed. All through the winter of 1887 and 1SSS, he had, while " studying" mhcler Mr. Lane's direction, been trying to plan a way to earn at least ten dollars, tnikcmg� over his desires with both father mud mother. Before plenthtg-time rolled around, Mr. Lane ono day said : " Toumly, couldn't you raise seed corn to sell? I mean if I give you a pates and break it for you, eau you plant and tend it without help? The corn that I ani planting I paid five emits for each ear. It is very fine for this climate. I have now quite a start, and 01u1 supply ;you with enough to raise quite a crop. You might also try planting the several varieties of popcorn. There is the rice grained and a large yellow." " That is the very thing ! 0f course, I can tend a crop! Moth ! mother 1 we'll have 'em, we 11 have Mother 'em by next Novem- ber 5" shouted Tommy, as he ran to pick out 1118 share of the fine corn. The "groans" was broken, the corn planted. 'foamy bad managed to get to• gather seven varieties of fee corn besides the popcorn. Friends from Buffalo, after hearing of his wonderful plan sent him packages of the very best varieties, the early roasting ears, also field corn, Tenney's mother became interested, and could not resist helping "just a little." Tlralad laidouthis rows with Care, saying "he wanted every row straight." The grains sprouted well, the tender blades grew thriftily, and Tommy battled royally with the orows, taking care that the mules and 10'0 COWS (ltd not have the opportunity to trample down his growing ( The weeds grew fast, and Tommy's hoe had to "swing" out lively sometimes, to keep them down. Mrs. Lane, pitying the tired and hoL lit- tle -fellow, often wanted to rest him, but he had a chivalrous care over her, and gently put her aside with "it do5en't seen! Just right, mother, for women to hoe, when there are boys to do it." Late in October, that harvest was goth• erect and pecked in large baskets ready for market. The result was very gratifying to Tommy, whose visions of books and gapers to :nape the lonely days of winter go by more pleas- antly, he felt sine 180114 80011 be realized. Bob where to.dispose of the orae to tie best advantage was the question now to be settled, While he was talking the !natter over with 1110 parents, neighbor Ewing came in, and being informed of the subject of the Conversation, suggested that the cow be taken to Carney, a village some ten miles distant. "In Carney," said he, "you 'will get a good price for it, as this and the adjoining settlement is settled up with farmers that need just what you ]pat e to sell. It is always a satisfaction to mo to know that the article Tin eolith' is goin' to help somebody. There isn't an inferior variety of corn in the lot you've reified," I couldn't have clone so well without father and mother to help me. Father thought it ant for nee," returned Tommy, pleased and happy. " Toles/1y has earned a rewards for he Inas tolled manfully to raise his soon" staid Mem, Lams, proudly, anti neighbor Ewing 811c1: '( I'll warrant ye, work tells on any crop." The seed -corn was taken to the nearest town, fifteen miles away, and left with the Storekeeper, who also kept the post -office, A few weeks, later neighbor !;wing went "tetown," and asked ebout'I.'ommy's corn, if there had boon &demand for it. The post master replied c "A putty consider'bto of &demand. livery grainless boon sold, and folks come nowask- in' for =reef that seed- corn, Carry this to Tommy, an' tell tient I don't ehu'go !lint anything for schen' his conn, as I'm an admirer of Beth industrious little fellers, and want to lend en' a helping' hand." When the several silver dollars were ]randed Tommy by n.a ggfor Ewing, he o iehl all i1Mrs. Lane's lap, saYrin : "Mother, it'll matte so happy all through the long winter. There'll 11e something for you and father, toe, Say, mother, cant we German Drummers and English. Ws are Ooltlnllauy hearing of German commercial travelers in neutral countries cutting out representatives of English houses, or doing business simply because English houses have no representatives able to speak the language and introduce their goods. But a letter to a Gemannewspaperdeplores the inaction of German financiers, compared with the energy of English houses. It appears that Mr. John Baring, member of the fires of Baring Brothers & Co. of London, heel arrived at Buenos Ayres last January on what the correspondent calls an "informations jour- ney" --one of those round trips which Eng- lishmen of position are credited with tinder - taking just to make themselves acquainted with commercial pion and manner's abroad. A dinner was given, of course and toasts were drunk to the continual prosperity of the city of Buenos Ayres.

In Russian industrial establishments the difference in the working hours is some- thing oetraordinary, varying from six to twenty. It is remarkable that these great divergencies occur in the same branches of iud11stry within the same inspector's dis- trict and among establishments whose pro- duce realizes the sauce market price.

Mr.Mackoye stepped in front of the curtain as it Wee about to ho lifted on the act in which the prayer is uttered snot explained his high neral purpose in writing the prayer and the lesson whisk it was intended to im- part, "Those of you who feel with me," said lir.

There was applause when Mr, 41ackaye fini5lee, and the delivery of the words of the prayer which followed presently was greeted with appiause. Nearly 1,000 votes were cast, among which were counted but twenty-four against the continuance of the prayer. Sixteen of these ballots were signed, the others being anony- mous.

Of course, those who are acquainted with native views in India will recognize ti111t this intimation is 1101 so com- ical as it sounds, but has a very serious meaning and reflects great oredit on the native barber, It is a relic of a system of cruel treatment of native widows that they should have their hair shorn off at the mo- ment of their affliction. Native journals 1111vc recently been denouncing the creel pravlieo in spite of tie opposition of the Brahmins, who have tlroniselves threatened to out the hair of the widows if the barbers refuse. This, however, it is said the 'Brah- mins could not do Without losing caste. The revolt ill Bombay is due to the excess - 11"e cruelty practiced toward widows there. Up oouu1ry, 883:8 an I1141011 contemporary, thepreatce of allaying the willow's head isnot so persistently enforced as in Bombay. The hair Is allowed to grow again, and the widow i8 0111y expected to submit to a renewal of to unwelcome operation when she visits a slulne of special sietity. In Bombay widows are shaved regularly once a week, and this causes then deep distress. Good Results May Follow. Although last week '0 interview between the Queen of England and the German Emperor at Darmetadt is discussed by the press of both countries as a political event, it can scarcely have any serious state signi- ficance, The Queou utas no such personal outthority as the Colt1nental menarche pos- sess, and that she, with neither Lord 801 May no' any of her Ministers in attend - wen, les made any treaty or come to any important political underatauding with her grandson is an idea too fanciful for credence.
