Practical Solution of the Indian Problem.

Practical Solution of the Indian Problem.
Some of the circumstances which complcate our
relations with Indians, If they afford no excuse for
savage retaliation, would at least be considered
casuS beLii among civilized nations. mining COM
pany advertised in the California papers is making
preparations send forward to districts in Arizona
Sonora, and New Mexico their first detachment OF
100 men, on about the 10th OF July. ''The men
will be armed to the teeth and go prepared to cope
with the hostile Indians" says the notice. They are
military as well as mining tactics Probably the In
dians regard such pioneers very much as Canadians
think Of Fenians, aud perhaps even peace society
might deem resistance advisable II their native land
should be invaded by armed men.
Muscular Christianity.
There is disciple OF the church militant in De-
troit who, on the 10th inst.,i eXemplided the
strength Of his faith by the vigor of his works.
Franklin street in that city, like Water street with
: age and serious countenance, entering one of these
places, informed the women that he intended to
offer up prayer for their spiritual welfare and pro-
ceeded to do so. dropping on his knees, The inmates
of the house. not desiring his devotional services
doors. But there tneir triumph ended. Rising to
his feet be rushed back into the house. striking out
vigorously with the carnal weapons OF nature in
style that would have done credit to the prize ring
Having by such knock-do arguments cleared
space he again knelt down and finished his prayer.
The astonished sufferers by this development OF
muscular Christianity, subdued into silence, heard
themselves described and their cases stated in
prayer, with plalnness beitting the occasion.
The Advance of the ''Freedmen.''
A series of letters written by j. w. Alvord, Gene
raj superintendent of Education of the Freedmen's
collected by Mr. Alvord while on tour with refer
ence to the education of the freedmen. These let
teTs constitute sufficient reply to the constant
asseveratoDs of those who predict the decay of the
colored race. The statements that the coOred peo-
sic are "dylng off," that they Kill their children that
they inebTates diseased, degraded or thrftless
cannot be in any particular sustained in the face Of
the facts which are presented Neither when tested
by comparative statistics OF arrests OF crimes, OF
births and deaths, nor by specifications of labor,
produce, accumulated money and purchase OF
land, nor yet by school attendance and advance in
comparison with their white neighbors. Consider
ing their previous condition., the advance OF the
freedmen in all material and moral respects un-
questionably surpasses that Of the white people OF
the Southern States. 257l day and night schools,
1900 pupils; 3S normal or high schools with 1884
pupils; the advance OF about 5000 pupils in the
savings banks beside nearly s11 OOe, 900 drawn out
chiefly for important purchases, are guarantees Of
dences of the important work accomplished by the
Freedmen's Bureau
A Beyy of Parisian Beauties.
At the races on Sunday last, says Paris corre-
spondeRt, there was galaxy OF beauty, each rival
ing the other in luxury charms, and wonderful
head-gear Madame Musard caused one of the great
est sensations in turn out with ak horses and pos
tilions in ght-blue jackets, making appearance
almost royal. Cora Pearl on horse back, though
her Arab pony with such grace as to cap
ture the hearts OF the ring. Adele Courtois, once
the prize blonde OF Paris, whilst showing the en-
croachments OF time, deceived many as to her age
by artificial means, assisted by the extreme beauty
| or the outline OF ner features. Madame Banicct,
Victor Emanues old name, appeared determined to
let the world know that she was not to be shelved
Her face, OF a remarkable pallol, and her wonder

| Now that the seven champions OF Christendon
have been succeeded by 1000 champions, whose eX.

little tedious to record the cities that are dstin
