The high reputation which the s.Law Library

which its valuable contents have been presented to
the profession, is the best evidence we can make

Nineteen volumes Of these Reports are now re-

Report Of the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs.

Report Of the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs.
Mr.. Luke Lea, in his Report. gives sum-
mary Of the operations Of that Bureau for the
past year. The aggressions on the part of the
Chippewa and Sioux Indians still continue and
both tribes have suffered in the losses Of life and
property Among all the other tribes who have
felt the controlling influence of our Govern
nent, gratifying degree Of order has prevail
ed. Treaties have been made during the sum-
mer with various bands of the Sioux, by which
a valuable tract of land in Minnesota and lows
have heen coded to the Government. A num-
Der of Chippcwas occupying lands in Minnesota
and Missouri, east of the Missouri, which
have been coded to the Government, have been
removed. The Menomonees still remain on the
land in Wisconsin coded by them in 1913, by
permission Of the Presindent. About three
hundred Winnebagoes have settled on the lands
OF the lowns, by permission of the latter. The
three Commissioners appointed by authority Of
Congress to negotiate treaties with the Indian
tribes in the territory of Oregon, entered upon
their duties in February last. They report that
the Indians on the Willamette and lower
Columbia rivers are peceably disposed, bnt that
other tribes north and south of those rivers are
wild and fierce. Treaties have been negotiated
with the various bands of Catapoogas and
Morballes, allowing all the lands and reserva-
tions on the west side of the Cascade Noun
tains. The twallaty was the only band who
would consent to-. their money being set
apart for Agricultural or School purposes, and
they appropriated a portion of theirs for the
purchase of agricultural implements. Many Of
them labor in the capacity Of farm hands far
the citIzens, and profess TO be anxious to adopt
the habits and customs or civilized life. The
country coded in their treaty comprises that
part Of Willamette Valley extending sou,hward
from Oregon City to Marys river and is repre-
scented to be the most valuable and thckly set
tied part OF the distrIct.-Chicago Argus.

Nor is the Mississippi River the end Of this
great chain. Surveys are now being made for
railroads from Keokuk, at the mouth Of the Des
Moincs, and from Davenport, which faces the

thence down the illinois Canal and River to the
Mississippi; and thence up the Mississippi to
your stopping place. And, after visiting many
of these 'stopping- places" on the river, should
give the preference to DUBUeUE, for reasons
which will cnumerate but not ampliiy: In
the first place, fine road built by the United
States and called the "Nliltary Road. with
excellent bridges, (no arrival convenience leads

cheap land, Of the best quality. Third there
are numerous Saw Mills and Grist Mills
Fourth, there is a railroad, now being surveyed
and sure to be built. in a westerly direction,
which is proiongalon of the double chain Of
roads which are to meet at the Mississippi oppo
site to or In Dubuque, as the case, may be-
One Of them is the road from Chicago, at which
city all the eastern roads center; and the other
is the great Central Illinois Road, which is to
go at least TO the mouth of The Ohio River
These roads will meet at Dubuque, and soun
proceed westwardly; and if the emigrant comes
early enough to buy land at the Government
prices, or near it, upon the line Of this road he
will find it rise IN value three times over, before
his first improvements are completed.

FUNNY MARKET AND WITTY IxrELLIGEScr.
As our daily contemporaries are in the habit of
giving an article on the money market and city
intelligence, we think that for our readers, the
latest accounts of the funny market and witty
intelligence will possess some interest. The
English funds of humor have been very buoy

advance. Long antiquities were not much in
demand, and active or practical jokes, left off
with downward tendency.
The conundrum fever has broken out again
with great violence. We have ourselves re-

which are placed here as warning to 9TH
