The lecturer then described how the

In the gorilla, chimpanzee and all the

LAND AND WATER
PRODUCTS.

The scientific expedition organized
under Mr.. Stewards direction for tho OK
pioration Of Alaska, has made its report.
One OF it's members has published pa
per on the newly acquired territory,
which contains rather full details of tho
character of the country. Largo AMI
rich fisheries lie off in the North Pacific,
and were always favoritc resorts with
our fishermen. Much Inconvenience
was entailcd on them by necessary trips
to San Francisco, not the smallest part
of which was heavy outlay f capital,
on ocean going craft. Now they can
fish in fifty fathom water in ordinary
open boats. Curing stations can be es-
tablished on the coast. Formerly the
i'm operation Of Goldfish from New Eng
land ports to California was a heavy
item. 1t has been stopped completely
in the acquisition Of ALASKA. In 1867,
twcnty~sevcn American vessels were
employed among the Sbumanin Islands
on the shores Of Southern Alaska. The
average catch was nearly one hundred
tons, which was valued at nine and
half cents, coin, per pound; the average
cost of outfit and labor, three thousand
dollars in gold. 1t is stated that tho
eastern portion of tho Behring's Sea !"
extremely rich in cod, and that the area
within the limits of fifty fathoms depth
is eighteen thousand miles in extent
The banks along tho shores of Alaska,
south of the Alcutian Islands, are about
four thousand five hundred miles. The
whale fisheries, especially in Archipel-
ago Alexander, are we'll known. Tho
coast survey has discovered Indications
of large beds Of anthracite coal. The
wara, current from Japan exercises
beneficial influence on tho climate OF
Alaska.

We know young man, native of
Mississippi, who was born to affluence, as
his great grand father, Virginia gentle
maa, had beon before him. He was
about seventeen years old whom the war
ended; up to which time he had lived
in a luxurious home, his father before
the war havinga yearly income of not
less than thirty thousand dollars in gold,
all Of which he spent on his home and its
inmates. Ills children never had q wish
for anything that money could buy, bit
it was even anticipated. The war left
the father with nothing but his land; for
both armies had passed near his planta-
ton, and his stock and household furni-
ture had disappcared-passcd what was
left, under tho auctionoer's hammer for
Confederate money. And even the land
was moi hir, for old security debts claimed
and obtained mortgage on that. =

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER or
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Rather a Bad Showing.

WASHINGTON, November 16.-The
Commissioners of Indian Affairs has sub
mitted his preliminary annual report to
the Secretary of the Interior. The to-
tai population of Indians he puts down
at three hundred thousand, which is
rapidly decreasing, on account ofdisease
introduced by depravcd whites and
whisky. He thinks largo portion OF
the Wilder tribes manifest disposition
to emerge from the savage state. He
urges amelioration of the pitiable condi-
ton of the savages, and thinks they de-
serve more sympathy, and also notes
that there is less interest taken in them
by Christian organizations than in form
err years. seb
Many tribes are without schools, and
altogether without religious institutions
He has information from the Governor
of Idaho that the Indian war is virtually
ended. Our military operations have
been successful. Many were captured
and the rest compelled to sue for peace.
During the year the Indian Commission
had made treaty with the Northern
Arapahoes and Chcyennes, Baulls,
Sioux and O sollola, Navajoe and Shosh-
nces. The main features Of these treat
les bind the Indians to keep peace and
provides for them suitable reservations
for education and civilization.
In accordance with the provisions of
the treaty with the Sioux. tho military
posts, L. F. Smith, Phil. Kearney and
Reno, in the Powder river country, have
been abandoned, and on this point the
Indians are satisfied.
The treaties made in 1868, with the
tribes in Kansas have not been ratified,
with the exception of that with the Pot
tawatomics. Others yet await the &C
ton of the President, the concurrence of
the Indians thereto having only been
recently received.
The principal feature Of the treaties
made by Commissioner Taylor and the
Governor of Colorado with tho savages
of that region in the removal of the latter
from New Mexico and Colorado to re-
servation in the latter country, and the
establishment of agencies there. Some
of the bands have accepted the terms,
and probably all will accept. In May last
a treaty was made with the Osagelndians
by which that tribe agree to sell about
eight millions of acres Of land in Kansas,
for sixteen millions ofdollars, to the Leav-
cnworth and Galveston railroad compa-
ny, and they agree to remove to the In
dian country south of Kansas.
A treaty was made in July at Wash
ington with the Cherokees, supplement-
al to that made two years ago, and in
explanation thereof. 1t has not yet
been acted on by the Senate. A treaty
made lately with the Montana Indians
provides for the cxtinguishmcnt OF their
title to large extent of country, and
for their location in districts suitable to
their needs.
Tho Commissioner recommends that
treaties be made with the Stockbridge
Indians in Wisconsin and Ohio, and
Missourians in Nebraska. Both tribes
are destitute, and occupy valuable lands
which arc oflittle use to them. by the

fWThe London Times, in an article
on the recent election in this country,
says:
ait is wonderful result Of scicnce
and social organization that the opinions
of an immense population should DC TAX
en- in single day over q territory as
large as all Europe, and that in less
than twenty -four hours after tho close
of the polls tho issue of the contest, with
the approximate number Of votes given
in each State, should be known in the
Capitols of the old World. Such a tri-
umph of civilization is more impressive
than the event which is thus recorded,
and it causes to remember how indcpen
dent of political action arc the forces
which most impel the human race in the
path of progress. The result is that the
Republican candidates have decisive
majority, though, when it is considered
that thore are 100000 of voters in the
United States, the prepondcrancc of Re-
publican over Democratic votes given
throughout the country will seem by n"
means large. The Americans so much en-
Joy the excitement of electioneering that
there is never likely to be so ovcrpower-
ing proponderance on either side as to
make contest impossible. AS boys in
the play ground will join the weaker
side at any game in order to keep it 60
ing, so an irrcpressiblc comba,ivcncss is
sure to prevent any district in America
from becoming tamely unanimous. The
Democrats have been beaten, and by
the political machinery of the country
the representation in Congress is cast
largely in favor Of their opponents
But it is impossible to look at these re-
turns without seeing that they still re-
main a very powerful party and must in
fuence, in high degree, the policy Of
tho Union.
The able and gallant soldier who is
now raised to the first place in the I'm
ion is one whose success no one will be
disposed to regret. General Grant has
fairly won his high rank by hard work,
real devotion to his country, and SER
vices which will live long in its romem-
brance. 1t is in his favor that his rcpu-
tation is almos exclusively professional,
and that he is not and has never been q
party politician. He will take Office
with greater freedom Of action than if
he were the hero of hundred platforms,
and had in long canvassing tours taken
all the pledges and uttered all the shib-
boloths of his party. He is, in fact, a
man whom his countrymen of all opin-
ions may bring themselves to accept,
simply because no has not Unidentified
himself so strictly with one faction as is
common with the multitude of candid
ates. A President who is elected by
tho Republicans and yet was not long
ago looked upon as possible leader by
the Democrats, cannot but have some
advantage in entering upon his admin
istration.

No report has yet been made by The
recent peace commission held at Chica-
go. Commissioners Taylor of the Bureau
should be controlled by the War De-
partment. The Commissioners recon-
mends Congress to make liberal prcvis-
ion for destitute Indians. He also be-
lievcs it better policy to feed than to
fight them. He entertains the opinion
that the stoppagc of supplies to the In
dams, which has been agreed on in the
treaty, was the cause Of hossilities on tho
part of the savagcs in their attacks on
settlers and emigrant trains.
The responsibilities of these troubles,
he says, does not rest on the Bureau,
which has faithfully and earnestly rep.
resented to Congress the means to avoid
them. The report also recommends
legislation to protect the people Of Tex
as from invasion by Indians north of the
Red river, and eastward, which the
Commissioner thinks can be secured by
tho location of several military posts on
the north and west border of the State.
He thinks the section of the law con
corning the barter, sale, or giving Of
spirituous liquors to Indians should be
amended so as to include cider and beer,
in which Indians indulge to q great ex-
tent In some instances brcweries have
been located near Indian reservations.

The Last Tear I shed.

The last tear shed was the warm one that
fell
As | kissed thee, dear mother, and bade
thee farewell;
When saw the deep anguish impressed
on thy face,
And felt for tho last time n mothers en-.
brace,
And heard thy choked accents, impassioned
and wild,
God bless thee foreverl God bless thee
my child.
| thought Of my boyhoOd, thy kindness to
When, youngest and dearest, | sat on thy
knee,
Thy love 10 me ever so fondly expressed,
AS | grew upto manhood, unconscious how
blest,
Thy praises when right, and thy chidings
when wrong,
While wnyward with passions, unyielding
and strong.
l thought of thy counsels, unheeded or
spurned,
As mirLh had enlivened or anger had
burned,
And how, when by sickness all helpless
lay,
Thou didst nurse me and sooihe me by
night and by day,
How much had been both thy sorrow and
joy,
And my feelings o'erfowcd, and wept
like boy.
Years, years of endurance have vanished,
and now
There is pain in my heart, there is care on
my brow;
The visions Of fancy and hope are all
gone,
And cbeerless travel life's pathway alone.
Alone? Ay, alone, though some kind ones
there be,
There are none here to love me, TO love me
like thee.
My mother, dear mother, cold-hearted they
Thy offspring, but, o, I am not what
seem;
Though calmly and fearless all changes /
bear,
Could they look in my bosom, the feeling
is there.
And now, sad and lonely, as memory re-
calls
Thy blessing at parting, again the tear
falls
