The AGoriSiIleS, a

To the Editor Of the Tribune:
know your readers will be gratiied to learn that
they have an opportunity offered them to see some
Aborigines from the Western wds, with all their
native costume and habits as they were among their
fathers three hundred years ago. Theycome from the
Western part of Iowa and the region around Council
Bluffs They show the manner in which their peo-
pie worship the Great Spirit declare War, make
Peace, sc. None should go to see them, however,
who expect to witness the clap-trap ceremonies
which are often passed off for Indian manners, &C..
for they will witness in this case nothing more than
the genuine wild Indian, his real nature, and his
sublime and simple customs.
Yours, truly, THOMAS j. FARNIAM

manufactures We are not importing PLAIN Cot
tons, Flannels, Nails, Wire, Screws, Glass ware,
&c. &c, in any considerable quantities, and
these articles are comparatively cheap, but there
are great many articles inadequately protected oy
our Tariff, or not attempted to be at ALL and these
are pouring in upon us largely. Watches and
Jewerv, for instance, it was found impossible to
protect, on account Of the facility of smuggling
and SO they are largely coming In under duty
of n per cent Bu. if we could keep out For
eign Watches by Tariff, we have not doubt
that they would in ten years be made here cheap
er than they ever could or can be eimported; and
the same of Woolen Goods. We have always In
sisted tha. our Country would import more in
value and infinitely more in bulk under good
Protective Tariff than under absolute Free Trade,
because the people being employed and fairly paid
would be able to pay for more-but it would not
consist of the same articles by great deal.

O. The Boston Mail relates an incident that
happened in the counting room Of that paper, a
few days since, which forcibly illustrates some Of
the traits of honest poverty when surrounded
with suffering.
One of the small newsboys was seen lurking
about the door for two or three hours in the fore
noon without purchasing and selling papers as
was his wont. At last he came up to the counter
and threw down fifty cent piece, which he said
he had stolen from the draw in the ndarlng, while
the office clerk was for moment absent. 1t
stuck SO hard in his conscience, however. that he
was compelled to return it and express his con-
triton On inquiry as to the motives which had
actuated the theft, he told US that his mother was
sick at home, and that his sale of papers was
all the family had to subsist upon He had been
compelled to part with all his money the night
before for necessaries, and consequently had none
left to purchase papers with in the morning. On
further inquiry, we found his statement was per.
fectly true; and deeming it wrong that such
naturally honest boy should be beset by the des-
perate temptation of actual suffering at home, to
commit that at which his whole heart reyolted.
we have found means to supply the more pressing
wants OF those for whose support he is taxing all
hls skill In trade. His voice clear as the notes
OF an octave flute may now be heard every day

THIRTEEN HUNDRED Pupils ~ Glass The
class attending Prot. Gouraud's Mnemotechnic lee
lures now numbers thirteen hundred This is de-
cidedly the largest school we ever attended, and a
more intelligent and respectable or better satisfied
SET OF scholars we never sat among. The Professor
is we'll calculated Tor popular lecturer, and al
though his foreign idioms and peculiar manner OF
illustration keep the class continually on the laugh,
yet every step of his system is explained in per-
fectly clear and philosophical manner We believe
the size OF this class of Gouroud's is Unprecedented
in the history Of lecturng in this country, and even
this could be considerably increased since by the
reports OF his pupils of their entire satisfaction with
the feasibility, philosophy and beauty of the system,
it is established in public estimation. Prof. G. is

II The Plsbeiaa has loading Editorial as.
sartine that Manufactures have generally ad,
vanced in price since the present Tariff was i'm
posed while Agricultural products have declined
To back this assertion, il gives table of alleged
prices of Cotton Goods and Flanneis last Spring
and now, showing an average rise of about 70
per cent. Bu, the knave who makes this state
7pent TO prejudice Manufactures very careful o
suppress the related fact that Cotton, tbs Agri-
cultural Staple which is the basis of this manu-
iac,ure, has risea fifty per cent. during the same
period. So of Flannels: the rise IN Wool has
been fully equal to that of Woolcl Goods, al
though American fabrics were so low last Spring
that the Pebeian & Co. were chuckiing over the
failures of leading manufacturers. Now times
are better, and goods sell more favorably because
the couatry is able to buy them, and the cry IS
raised that Manufacturers are making ttcenty or
thirty per cent by their business. This is false
again. A few lucky makers of fancy goods
have made large dividends, but the average divl-
donds on Manufacturing stocks has not exceeded
seeen per cent. even in lS43, with an increasing
market and Cotton rising III price. II any man
of means doubts this, why won't he engage IN
Manufacturing He can buy stocks IN good
companies ct par, or he can buy factories now Of
feting at auction, their former propriesors having
failed in the business. II most Of those who talk
OF twenty or thirty per cent. as an average or
general dividend On Manufacturing stock did
not ksow they were deceiying, they would be en-
gagged IN the business before month. But they
go know beiter.
