HOW THE MAN BORE HIMSELF.

Meanwhile, how brave had the nan borne
himself? Was there any trembling ofthe limbs,
any blanchiug of the face, any quiveriug of the
lips? No. lie walked stOlidly, unlnchingly
on. He was was bareheaded and in his SHIRT
sleeves. In his uPraised hands, he bore small
crucihx. His head was slightly raised and his
eyes uptern5d. Snch face as Antoine Pr9bsts
could never have looked exalted. Religion
would have needed to take early possession OF
that soul to subdre its innate brutality, 70 throw
over it the spiritual glow Of love to God and
love to man. But yesterday morning, he looked
less capable of murder than he had looked at
any time previously, and this is admitting a
great deal. There was something of hope aud a
touch of fear upon his face. Let others Judge
whether the fear was topper, and the hope pre-
sumption. He looked neither to the right hor to
the left, but kept his eye raised above the cruci-
fix clasped in untrembling hands. TIE sight Of
the scaIold did not make him let q step iaitcr /;
not a muscle faileL, not a nerve quivered. lie
had been calm and cheerful all the day and
night before why should he not remain cain
and cheerful even unto the cad On Thursday
night he slept well. Tha; morning he had eaten
hearty breakfast only three hours ago, and had
smiled indiherenlly over the eggs and coffee and
bread and butter provided from the SupperntenI
deutS table. lie had repeatedly expressed him
self willing to undergo any7qrantity OF punish
ment, aye, even crucfxion. 1t was tit that he
should die eight Deaths he said, since be had
murdered eight guiltless human beings.

GENERAL PopE on INDIAN AFFAIRs.-T

GENERAL PoPE on INDIAN AFFAIRs.-The Den
yer Neles of the 10th ult. says:
At the invitation of Major General Pope o
large number Of our leading citizens assembled
at the Frst National Bank this forenoon to con-
suit with him as to the interests of our people,
and to arrive at some Conclusion whereby the
citizens and military authorities cnnld act in
cOncCrt.
General Pope stated that he had for some time
been urging upon the government change of
policy in regard to the Indians That in his
opinion the American people would never con-
sent to an avowed policy Of determination, al
though the present policy would fually result
in the extcrmuation of the indians. That he
thought tho best plan was to 'colect The In
dians, and by treaty if PCs-I9le> by force if
necessary, remove them to some point in tie in
terror of the Ulited States. say at some point on
the Missouri or Mississippi rivers, where pro-
visions could be cheaP'y supplied to them, their
arms taken nw,y from them, and be treated as
the wards Of the government. lie stated that
under the present method Of managing Indian
affairs no effective military operations could be
had.
That if undertaken the Indian agents, (whose
interests it was to make treaty with the InN
dians every day, with the certainty it Tonld be
broken the next,) would make such representa-
tions to Washington as TO have military opera
tions arrested. That the objection to his plan
was the great immediate outlay it would res
quire, though in series of years, say twenty,
it would cost less than the present policy. That
giving the Indians reservations was substan-
TALLY giving them place of refuge to seek after
committing their depredations. That while
those were his views, he was not really
welded to them, but willing to do anything
and take any responsibility he consistently
could which the people thought their interests
required. He stated that the division of senti
ment among the people of the Territories had
distracted the Government as to Indian affairs,
but that harmony Of opinion and concert Of &C.
ton would aid the GoTernnent very much in
deciding as TO What it ought to do.

INDUSTRIAL PARrNERsHTP.

The English are adopting the system an
which, we believe, the Tribune Association has
been conducted for many years, namely, indus.
trial partnership, as some have termed il, or a
new relation of capital and labor under which
the interests of employer and employed are rem
dered identical. They had previously adopted
similar system as between workmen associa-
ted together for a common purpose, but it is
only within the past three years that they have
applied it to capitalists as well as laborers, in
such manner as to furnish a field for the en-
plOyment Of large capital, which associations of
mechanics could not command, and az the same
time, for the exercise of that Administrative, ex-
eouIiVv raOuity, Which 10 rare and vet SO ne
cessary for the proper direction Of business ONES
rations.
The establishment of GEeening L Co., wire
work company of Manchester, was formed about
q year ago, on the plan Of admitting every work.
man to share in the profits of the business.
The company was bognd, by trust deed, to di-
vide among its capitalists fifteen per cent. on
capital, and to divide the surplus as a bonus
among the workmen in addition to wages. The
immediate results were a great decrease OF
waste, great increase of work and a great in
crease in orders, all the direct, perfectly natu.
raj consequences of giving each man an inter-
est IN his employers prosperity. The pecuniary
result was Il first dividend of fifteen per cent on
capital and a surplus of four or five per ceat
Tor distribution among the workmen. The
same system has been followed in the Whit.
9ood collieries, and has resulted in raising the
dividend from four per cent.-to which it had
been reduced by carelessness and strikes-to
ten per cent. The men had actually to be forced
into the system, and were very much dissatis-
fed with it till its profta5Ie'result brought con
Viction.
1t is hard to find in the successful working of
this new mode of reconciling capital and labor
the approaching realization Of millenial dreams
of love, fraternity, end cooperation. There is
better ground for regarding it simply as the nat
ural working of the universal feeling of self-iu-
terest, influenced by which every man will work
more and better for himself than for others.
But whatever the motive lying below the graft
flying issue Of Ills industrial experiment, econ
OmSts and statesmen may well rejoice at such
an issue. Under the influence of this system, ,
the ruinous effects Of lazucss or carelessneSs in
labor and Of combinations against employers
must fast disappear. Under it, no man will be
neglectful or careless about work done for an
other, unless SO regardless for his own interest
that he would be neglectful or careless about
work or business wholly his own; and no man
will be apt to "strike' when he has to help pay
his own wages lFd.hirGton Globe.
