And if you will visit the capital, you
will find the portrait in the Governors
roem heading q long line Of eminent
men, who have been Chief Magistrates

There are few pursuits in which SC
many leakages occur as in farming. A
little want of minute attention here, and
little there, make up q very consider.
able sum when all added together at the
end of the year. There may possibly be
such a thing as being too particular in
regard to trifles, such thing as spend.
ing too much time in raking perfectly
clean, when greater loss will follow
from want of attention elsewhere, and
no doubt some discretion is to be exer-
cised as to where attention shall be di-
rected to the greatest advantage at any
given time. We once knew of farmer
who lost = responsible and desirable po-
SitiOn because, when 10 committee went
to examine his premises, q little lock of
hay was found lying on the barn floor
where it was i'll danger of being stepped
upon by the paSsers by. He never
knew, aud probably does not to this
day, why it was that the committee
decided against him.

Indian Affairs

WASHINGTON, September Judge
Kinney, United States Special Indian
Commissioner, has just arrived i'll this
city from Fort Phil. Kearney, having
been absent for six months, i'll the dis
charge of his official duties.
Six thousand warriors, composed of
Sioux, Cheyenues, and ArrapahOes are
now concentrated north of Fort Phil.
Kearney, and demand, as a condition of
peace, that the soldiers be withdrawn
and the road to Virginia City given up,
rs the country belongs to the Crow In
dians, with whom we are at peace. The
Judge thinks that if the demands are
complied with it may suspend, but will
not settle the difficulty. He appre-
bends that the next demand will be to
suspend work upOn the Union Pacific
Railroad, which is being built through
the same country, without the consent
of the Indians.
Judge Kinney confirms the report of
the attack on Major Powcll's party on
the ID of August, and is of the opinion
that there were 20O0 Indians and that
Major Powell killed nearly 200. Kin
ney thinks this defeat of the Indians
may open the way to a treaty of peace,
aud that one more punishment like
that administered by Major Powell
would give us permanent peace.
Acting Indian Commissioner Mix has
received the following:
OMAHA, September 4.-lron Shell, u
chief, with one hundred and eighty In
dians, arrived at North Platte to-day.
He is from the northern hostile camps.
[Signedl II. b. DENMAN,
Superintendent Indian Affairs.
By coming into the United States
Post at North Platte, Iron Shell and
his band have manifested their desire
to cease hOstilities.
