Tho Pueblo Indians.

The Government Of the United States
embraces 10 its protecting arms, almost
as many Nationalities as that of Great
Britain. For tho most rart, however,
tho condition of these natonalities is far
different from those of the latter Gov.
eminent. In this country the Foreign.
er has almost equal privileges with tho
Native. The flag Of the United States
protects equally the Irish in the North
and Middle States tho German of the
West, aud the French and Spanish of the
South. The great mass of the foreign
people under our jurisdiction either are
are may become to all iutents part of
the Government which protects them.
The only exceptions to this, arc found
in the African slaves, and in the de-.
scedants of the Aboriginal Indians
Not thus, however, is it with the far
greater number of those under tho sub.
lection Of the British Crown. These

BIOS; from tho circumstance that they
always reside in villages. The WASH

Indians of 1857 are identical with the
people found iu New Mexico by the
Spaniards in 1910. They are the de.

These singulat people are said to bear
no resemblance to the Aztecs, and it is

Government has recently furnished them
with agricultural implements. They

EXTENSIVE DENTAL ESTABLISHMENT -
Few of our daily readers have any idea
of the extent of this business, which of
late years has assumed so much impor-
tancc. Being among those who have
little occasion for the service of. den.
tist We bad no conception of the number
of patients daily treated, until a few
days since, when we paid visit to the
rooms of Drs. Cummings & Flagg, 25
fremont street, and we were we'll paid
for the time spent there. Many interes-
ting facts were communicated to us, and
many of the finest specimens of art
shown us, which we verify believe chal.
lenge comparison in this or any other
country. The increasing demand for
dental science has engaged the attention
and study of some of the most eminent
scientific men in this country; and their
achievements have been fully adequate to
the wants of the community. The pres
ent treatment, compared with that Of
twenty years ago, abundantly shows
that the improvements in this depart-
mont of science have been fully equal to
the progress in other branches of skill.
Drs. Cummings s. Flagg were among
the first to make speciality of dentistry,
and they have, for many years, devoted
their entire attention and constant study
to place themselves at the bead of their
profession. Their business has increased
from small beginnings, and by years Of
patient industry, until now they have
the most extensive establishment in this
country. Every attention is paid to the
comfort and convenience of patients
Five operating rooms are in daily use,
by which liberal arrangement porsons
are always treated as privately as at
home, and are spared the unpleasantness
of undergoing operations in the presence
Of strangers.
BY these means they have met with
the most complete,success. Their beau
tiful work has too frequently been the
subject of premiums and diplomas from
Fairs and Institutes, in this. and other
cities, to need commentator from us.
They exhibit specimens at their rooms,
of the various styles and most approved
methods, which are triumphs Of art, and
need only to be seen to be appreciated.
Tho gentlemanly' proprietors of this COM
plete Dental Establishment will always
be pleased to give their adviceand the re-
suit of their long experience, in cases re-
quiring the opinion Of practical scientific
dentists.-Bo Boston Journal.

Tho Capitol.

1t will be observed that our citizens,
are moving in tho matter of the Capitol
location. If the State House is rcmov-
ed to the west side of the mountain, we
do not see how the conclusion is escaped
that Middlebury, is the most suitable
place for its location. The position it
occupies as the centre Of tho foremost
agricultural region in the state, and
nearer tho centre Of the state itself than
any other considerable town; with ready
facilities of access from almost every
quarter of the state with population
second to none in all tho qualities essen
tial to pleasant location; with natural
scenery of unsurpassed beauty; with the
healthiost of climates, and with dis
position to pay, do and suffer as much IS
any of its competitors, why may not the
claims of our old town come in on an
equal foot with any of the towns pro.
posed2
The meeting of citizens, to which we
have alluded, was we'll attended, and
marked with a high degree of proper
feeling on the subject. A subscription
has been started, and we have no doub,
one hundred thousand dollars will be
readily raised for the object. Addison
County is one of the best and most pop.
ulous counties in the state, but notwith-
standing its central location it has never
received the least recognition from the
state in the way of public institutions.
The college located here has been sus,
tanned almost exclusively by private mu.
nifcenco.
The geographical centre of the state
is strictly about twenty miles directly
east of Middlebury, but the line thus
extended to the central point would ter

tended through the state to the eastern
boundary would it strike any town where
the Capitol could with propriety be
placed. The lines of Railway arc such
that all of Windham, large portion Of
Windsor and all of Bennington, Rutland
and Addison counties could be better &C.
commodated at Middlebury than at Mont
pelicr or Burlington; while Chittenden
and Franklin could be better accommo,
dated than at the former place. On the
other hand the entire northern counties
could come here better than to Rutland
and the southern counties would like
wise be conveniently accommodated. II
will thus be seen that the claims Of Mid
dlebury arc worthy the candid consider
alton of those who arc ow called upon
to decide the question of the State House
location.
