A REPORT FROM QUAKER Gun
Samuel N. Janney, one of the Quaker Indian
Superintendents out West, has written a
letter defining the results of his observations
among the Western Indians, in which he de-
clares that 81 have not yet seen handsome
Indian woman" and concludes that in the
course of time, by proper treatment and
judicous appliances, these Western indians
may be civilized and Christianized In the
meantime the Spencer rife is found more
effective in regulating them than the Quaker
gun. Friend Jsnney, cut thy hair close and
keep within the lines.

The WAR IN PARAGUAY.-By way Of Lon
don, and through the Atlantic cable, We have
advices from Rio Janiero, dated on the Goth Of
June, in complete confirmation of the defeat Of
allies. Ia the decisive battle the Paraguay
ans had i've hundred men killed and
wounded aud lost three hundred pris-
oners and twelve guns. A provisional govern
ment had been established in Paraguay under
treaty. The important question of how Brazil
will use her victory with the old one Of the
navigation of the Amazon and riparian rights
generally in South America, will be now in
order. and both are worthy the serious atten-
ton of the United States government.

the letter which we publish to-day, to supply
with literary gossip and court gossip the dearth
Of news in the department of fashions. And
here, as in France, little can be said except
that travelling dresses and ''dusters,' riding
habits, capelnes, or summer hoods, and bath
ing costumes are the order of the day. Mean-
while the modistes Of Paris and New York are
doubtless burly pondsring over designs for
startling novelties, which will not be revealed

NEUTRALITY ON THE CUBAN QUESTION
The administration is enforcing the neutrality
laws in reference TO Cuba with an
energetic fidelity which is in striking
contrast with English aud French and
Spanish precedents We can only infer
that the special objects in view are a
clean record against England on the Alabama
claims and fair opening for decisive settle
ment Of the Cuban question through the
agency Of General Sickles at Madrid. The
country will await the development Of the
Cuban programme of General Grant with the
deepest interest 1t is surely the policy OF
Spain TO sell while she has chance, and IL
may be our wisest course 10 buy without
further delay, even IL by waiting the island
will come to us without cost.

We have been presented, by friend,
with the following simple mode of COM
putting interest. It is worth re-publica-
ton; and it will, no doubt, be OF interest
to sonae of our readers: M
Multiply any given number of dollars
by the number of days of interest re-
quired, separate the right hand figure,
and divide by six; the result is the true
interest for such number of days at six
per cent. This rule is so simple and so
true, according to all busines usage. that
every banker, broker, merchant and
clerk should post it up for reference and
use. By no arithmetical process can so
desirable information be obtained with
SO few figures.
Or multiply by one-sixth of the
number of days. The interest on 81, 900
for thirty days would thus be found by
simply multiplying by five.

:, A clock has just been completed for
the cathedral of Beauvais, France, which
far surpasses all the existing specimens
of the clock-maker's art. It contains no
less than 10000 wheels, and indicates,
among many other things too numerous
to recite, the days of the week, the
month, the year, the signs of the zodiac,
the equation of time, the course of the
planets. the phases of the moon, the
time at every capital in the world, the
movable feasts for hundred years, the
saints days, &c. Perhaps the most
curious part of the mechanism is that
which gives the additional day in leap
year, and which consequently is called
into action only once in four years. The
CLOCK is wound up every eight days. The
main dial Is twelve feet in diameter, and
the total cost exceeds S5O,OOO.

SPEAKING hut ONCE.

Two gentlemen were riding together in a
hack, one day, when the name of young
lawyer of good talents and promise, was men
toned, upon which the elderly gentleman
said
THAT is one of my boys,
YES" was the reply, 81 have understood
So
The elderly gentleman resumed: "Some
twenty years ago, | was visiting my brother,
in Worcester county, and just as l was about
to return home, he said to me; Don't you
want a boyP Yes | said, If | can get a
good one, if there ever was one. I've got
a 6oy that doSent need speaking 10 but
once'n
81 took the boy; and after he had been
with me three months, attending school, |
asked him how he should like to come and
live with me. He said that he should like it
well. asked him if any one had any claim
upon him-for he was an orphan. He re-
piled No"
"Finding, aherward, that a gentleman in
Worcester county pretended to have such a
claim, | told the boy that he had better 60
and see him, and have it all settled. He
went, and matters were all arranged, and he
soon returned to live with me-"
"One day, at the examination Of the school
in our district, the committee, who was a
clergyman, came TO me with the inquiry,
what was | going to do with that boy 90
said [, Il suppose he will learn some
trade"
aHe oughtnt to do that said the COM
mittee. "He1l never be content, He loves
his books too we'll"
These few words SET me to thinking, and
finally said to Johnnie.
"Wouldn't you like to fit for college2 II
you would, | will help you" Johnnie said
he would like il very much, but he had
no means, after being fitted, to take him
through.
"Well," said |, "if you don't wish t.
study, YOU had better learn some trade
Johnnie selected trade, and | found him Q
good master, with whom he served his time
"Finding that he kept at his books, at the
close of his apprenticeship | said to his mas
ter, If you will take hold with me, we will
send that boy through college.
"My proposition was agreed to. After
year or two in the high school, Johnnie wa
admitted to college, and in due time, gradua
ted with credit to himself and his friends
and | am not ashamed to call him my boy"
Boys, have written these few lines 81
that the fact may not be lost--that, at least
one boy has become an educated, and highl.
respected and promising young man, becaus
he was known as a boy that didn't nee'
speaking 10 but once. | know this younI
man well, and | regard him with great esteem
Nor do | believe he will ever be led to dis
grace his kind boneiactors.

Children should be encouraged TO read
works written for their seniors. Youths OF
ten or twelve years would get far more help
and intellectual health and vigor from read
ing histories biographies, books of travel, art
and even of science, than almost any juvenile
works. It is not necessary that they should
understand everything they read; If they
understand enough to engage attention and
excite interest, that which is beyond their
comprehension will awaken fresh ardor, and
noble outreach Of the faculties, They will
read these books if encouraged 10 do so by
parental preeepts and example Manyparents
permit their children to read the ilimsy, wishy-
washy stuff with which libraries are crammed,
because they are too Indifferent and indolent
to help their young minds to master or be in-
terested in anything better. A bright boy,
who was reading the life Of Sir Joshua hey
nods, asked his mother who was lost in the
mazes of novel that shall be nameless, what
" chromaticn meant "0h, Willie, don't
tease me with such questions; do, dear get
some book you can understand The diili-
Guilty with our young people is not that they
arc unwilling to read good books, but that we
are unwilling to have them. Inspire them
with a love Of truth, stimulate them to search
for il, encourage them to overcome difficulties,
explain what they cannot understand, andwhile
you excite them with intellectual ardor, direct
their attention to the best works, and you will
save them from the contagion OF the circulate
ing libraries, and secure the highest results IN
their culture and character
