the hair is still the favorite. Short-curl
plumes are used in dressing the hair. The
chignons still move upward, and soon will
reach the perpendicular. As soon as it at
tains the highest point it will stop, like the
tide at high water, and will then go back
to the Iother extreme, and once more the
hair will be worn in its most beautiful
style, du natural, down the shoulders.

Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2

DAN FRANCISCOs sOepC-
General Halleck furnishes reliable in
formation in regard to the abuses existing
in Alaska, which was made the subject of
special investigation during his recent visit
to that territory. Much of the dissatistac-
tion among the natives arises from the fact
that the old fur company carried on sort
of patriarchal government, taking charge
of everybody and everything in the set
tlement. Under the new regime the peo-
pie are thrown upon their own resources
and do not understand the change yet.
The immediate effect of Introducing q
number of strange white traders, adven-
turers and soldiers had a bad effect. Gen.
Halleck did not find it necessary to court
martial any officer, though probably many
changes will take place before matters
work smoothly.
successors to the Russian Fur Company,
are in occupation of building which ap-
parently, by treaty, should belong to the
United States, but if wrong has been done
the Government, it has been by Prince
Waksutof, the recognized agent of Russia,
who delivered the property in question to
Hutchinson, Kohl & Co, instead of Gen.
Rosseau, agent of the United States.
1t is also reported that men and their
families departed from place to place, the
presumption being that the removals were
against their will. Some went to Sitka,
Kodiak and Amoor river, but as far as the
military know they need not have removed
against their will. Certainly no violence
was used to get them away.
1t is evident that Hutchinson q Co.
agents are striving to impress the natives
with the idea that the new company sue
ceeded to all the rights of their predeces-
sors. Some threatened to punish natives
who sold furs to others than American trad
ers. The military instructed them to make
no difference between traders, but to treat
them all alike.
General Halleck has taken steps to inform
the natives around the principal forts of the
true standing of affairs, and the firm, inn
partial position of the troops. The partners
of Hutchinson & Co. here have disapproved
the conduct OF their agents and ordered its
discontinuance. A ...

Indian News.

Late Idaho advices say that scouting
party from Fort Broise succeeded in cap
turing Eagle Eye, his entire band OF In
dians, forty-one in number. twenty-one
horses and large quantity of provisions.
This capture ends Indian hostilities in that
section of the country. ....--... .
General Crook writes from Camp War
ner that he found many Indians in Big
Valley, on Pitt river, most of whom fled to
the mountains on his approach. He had
talk with some of their principal men, who
confessed that party of Pitt river Indi-
ans murdered the Pearson family in Long
Valley. General Crook ordered the arrest
and hanging of the murderers, which, it is
thought, will have the effect to prevent any
more such outrages. .fg.
Indian troubles are considered over in
that vicinity. Bands of savages are con-
tinually coming in at different stations
surrendering. Most of them are in starv-
ing condition, and greatly needing assis-
tance from the Government.

The WEATHER.-The man who wouldn't
get up out of his bed at the dead hour of
midnight to swear at such weather as has
prevailed for the past forty-eight hours,
deserves to be confined in aishower bath
during the term of his natural life. The
umbrella brigade has been out it full force
for the past two days, and humanity comes
in from the street smelling musty and
damp, muddy and disagreeable. The un-
fortunate horses on the street cars and
other vehicles look sorry as they hold their
water soaked heads to the ground and
switch, with their tails, the water in
dirty drops from their hides. The streets,
off of High street, were muddy, the water
standing over them in great puddles. Store
keepers ware extremely long faces, and
their clerks played mumble-peg or leaned
laziiy over the back counters. There was
damper on everything. Even ourself,
noted for our good humor, felt like retiring
to the sanetity and privacy OF our own
apartments, there to take a good square
cuss at the horrid weather. -ee

A COLLEGE GYMNASIUM FOR PRINCE
TON. In his old age the DIXIE of Wei
lington took some distinguished for
eigners to see the play grounds of the
boys at the great public school at Elton.
Under their captains some were at
cricket, some at football, some Nrest-
ling, some boating, running. leaping,
etc " Here, said the old Duke, "Water-
loo was Won" He was right, for from
the boys of the great school play ground
the captains who lead the British in
fantry and ride ut the head of their
troops of cavalry into battle, mainly
come. And these officers acquired
courage, activity, strength, and hardi-
hood of character by the sports and
exercises of the play grounds. This
anecdote of the old Duke has been
called to mind by the fact that the an
cient College of Princeton is about to
have gymnasium. The new Presi
dent, the Rev. DIR. McCosh, in his
inaugural address delivered last week,
dwelt upon the good effects of sports
and atheletic exercises, and the want
of gymnasium. 1t happened that
among the invited guests present was
Mr.. Robert Bonner of The New York
Ledger. With his usual practical de-
cision, he took the first opportunity of
asking what the cost of gymnasium
would cost, and being told about $780,
600 no promptly said, "well,I will gi, Q
$4,000 toward it, if you can raise the
other ten" This came to the ears of
Marquand, the banker, as it was cir
culated among the crowd, ndhe imme-
dately announced that would give IS,
O)0, and afterward he declared that he
had reconsidered his first determine
ton, and resolved to make the gift
$40, 900. Tins, by the action of Mr.
Bonner, in his business-like and liberal
manner, seconded by Mr.. Marquand,
the students of Princeton will be furn-
ished with a fine gymnasium for ath-
letic exercises and manly sports.

Her waterfall was gorgeous,
And all who saw contend
That her grace was neytr equalled
By the Saratoga bend.
