EXTRACTS FROM TIE REPORT OF Tllf
COMMISSIONER ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.
THE NEW YORK INDIANS.

"The improvement in The condition of the New
York Indians though gradual, is very perceptible
The farms, buildings. crops and stock, and the
substantial comforts surrounding the homes OF ma
ny of the Oneidas. Onondagas, Tuscaroras, and
tho Tonawanda, Cattaraugus and Allegheny Sen
ecas, evidence in them u uniform advancement
Tho reliance of the Allegheny Senecas upon
their timber and lumber has not made it necessary
for them to turn their attention wholly to agrcnl-
ture and while this resource has furnished them
temporary aid, the timber and lumber trade in
which they are engaged may be regretted as a
hindrance to their permanent improvement
Churches and religious influences and schools are
we'll sustained among these Indians, and all seem
to be impressed with desire to educate their chill
dren."
THE cHIPPEwAs OF MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN.
'The Chippewas of Lake Superior, who inhabt
reservations in the northern peninsula OF Michi-
gan, the northern part of Wisconsin and that por-
tion of Minnesota between the st. Louis River and
the British line, have furnished with a liberal sup
ply Of farming implements, carpenters TOOLS
household furniture and cooking utensils, aud ev-
cry Indian having house and residing in il, has
been supplied with a cooking-stove and the usual
cooking Utensils, table, bureau, chairs, bedstead
looking glass and many smaller articles for house
hold use. The effect of this policy is quite per-
ceptible and has stimulated many to erect and
provide for erecting new houses at Bad River and
several other places"
THE advancement Of the Menomonees is con-
slant and steady. Although obstacles have been
thrown in the way of these Indians, and the vic
ious ond unscrupulous have endeavored 10 thwart
all the efforts made for their improvement and the
grasping avarice of unprincipled white men. in
seeking to obtain their property in defiance of
justice and right, has rendered them somewhat
restless and uneasy; yet notwithstanding all this
their prngrsss is very gratifying, and tho results
already attained leave doubt but the Menomu-
nee Indians, in very few years. will completely
and perfectly adopt habits of industry and civili-
satiOn. Indian laborers have been exclusively en-
ployed to do the work of the tribe The agent farm
o. miller, teacher and one blacksmith are the on
ly white persons located at the agency and EN-.
ployed on the reservation. All the work in the
fields, as we'll as in the shops. is done by Indian
hands. A number of the young Msnonionees
have become exI ert carpenters, providing not on
ly the general carpenter shop with hands, but the
different bands have carpenters among them, who
are erecting houses for the various families to fa
oilitate which ths council has requested that sct
OF carpenter tools be furnished to each hand.

havo uttered word upon the subject but since
the Senator from Alabama (Fitzpatrck) had

questions this morning, he should claim the same
privilege. He was not disposed to agtate. but

HERpER's pRAGoN-FLY.

Flutter, hutter gently by,
Little motley drngon.fy,
On thy four transparent wings;
Hover, hover DER tho rill.
And when weary sit thee still
Where the watcr-lily springs.
More than half thy little life,
Free from passion, free from strife,
Underneath the wave was sweet;
Cool and calm content to dwell,
Shrouded by thy plant shell,
In dark and dim retreat
Now the nymph TRANSFORMED may roam.
Il sylph in her aerial home,
Whereer the Zephyrs shall invite;
Love is now thy curious care
Love that dwells in sunny air
But thy very love is flight.
.. Heedless Of thy coming doom,
Ger thy birthplace and thy tomb,
Flutter, little mortal, still;
Though beside thy gladdest hour
Fate's destroying mandates lower,
Length Of life but lengthens ill.
Confde thy offspring to the stream.
That when new summer suns shall sleam.
They, too, may quit their wat'ry CELL
Then die. see eact weary limb
Declines to fly, declines to SWIM
Thou lovely, shortliv'd sylph, farewell.

Burly, doing, humble-bee!
Where thou art is CLINE for mo.
Let them sail for Porto Rique,
Fdr-oF heats through seas to seek,
Twill follow thee alone,
Thou animated torrid zonel
Zigzag sreerer, desert cheerer,
Lei me chase thy waving lines;
Keep me nearer, me thy nearer.
Singing over shrubs and vines.
Insect lover the sun,
Joy Of thy duminiun
Sailor uf the atmosphere.
Swimmer through the waves Of dir,
Voyager Of light and noon,
Eui;urean OF June,
Wait prithee Till come
Within ear-shut of thy hum
All without is martyrdom.
When the South wind in May days.
With a net Of shining haze
Sivers the horizon wall,
And with stiffness toucning all.
Tints tho human cOuntcnanoe
With color Of romance,
And, infusinS subtle heats.
Turns the sod TO ,iolets,
Thou in sunny solitudes,
Rover of the underwoods,
The green silence doth dsplacs
With thy mellow, breezy bass.
Hot midsummer's petted crone,
Sweet to me thy drowsy tone,
Telling of countless sunny hours.
Long days and solid banks of flowers,
OF gifts of sweetness without bound
In Indian wildernesses found.
OF Syrian peace, immortal leisure,
Firmest cheer, and bird-like pleasure,
Aught unsayory or unclean
Hath my insect never seen,
But violets and bilberry balls,
Maple sap and daffodils,
Grass with green flag half mast high,
Succory to match.,he sky,
Columhine with horn of honey,
Scented fern and agrimony.
Glover, catch-ay, adder's tongue,
And briar-roses, dwelt among;
All beside was unknown waste,--
All was picture as he past,
Wiser far than human seer,
Yellow breech'd philosopher
Seeing only what is fair.
Slipping only what is sweet.
Thou dost mock at fate and care.
Leave the ehaff and take the wheat,
When the fierce northwestern blast
Cools sea and land SO far and fast,
Thou already slumberest deep;
Woe and want thou csnst outslesP--
Want aud woe. which torture Us.
Thy sleep makes ridiculous
