Visitors at the Indian Office in this
city have their attention attracted by a
swarthy aborigine, dressed in the cos
tune OF the whites, who sits in the same
place hour after hour regarding occur
rences in the apartment with stoical in
difference. He first made his appear
ance there about week ago, and, al
though he can speak but little English,
the clerks have been able to CLEAN from
his mixed Indian and English taat he is
a member of the Pi-Ute tribe, Of New
Mexico; that he is nephew Of one Of
the head chiefs Of that tribe, and that,
becoming enamored Of the ways Of civil
izasion, he set out for Washington TO see
his Great Father, dead-heading his
way across the entire country.
The Acting Commissioner has been
somewhat puzzled to know how to dis
pose of his strange visitor, and will await
the return of General Parker before act
ing in the matter. The Indian has in
his possession letter from an army
officer in one Of the frontier forts, cert
flying that Dick, as he is called by the
whites, is good Indian" and nothing
can induce him TO part with this paper,
which he considers Of great value. Since
he has been here he has had two ambro-
types taken, and will sit for hours gazing
upon his pictures, which were literally
smeared with yermilion by the obliging
operator. Dick ;" is possessed Of fine
share Of intelligence, and it is proposed
to place him in the Howard University
(colored), provided arrangements can be
made for his reception.

LONDON, September PA special dis
patch from Berlin, dated the 18th, just
received, says the professional politicians
have matured their plans in regard to
the new German Confederation called
Norddentschebund Herr Delbruek to be
President. A council has been called
at headquarters, and the Bavarian Baden
and Wurtemburg Governments are buslly
comforting in regard to the political fu-
ture. Herr Lascar, National Liberal
Deputy, is going to stump the North
German States.
1t is proposed that Frankfort be de-
clared at the same time a neutral city
and the capital Of the new confederation.
Thus it will hold toward the new confed-
Grafton the same position that Washing
ton and the District of Columbia do to
the United States of America. INF is
the first direct step toward what has Tong
been the dream of German patriots; not
merely a German Union, but German

A city Of Beegars.


Mexico is not pleasant country to
live in. 1t has fertile soil, pleasant
climate, and rich mines. Its people are
restless and are always longing for rev
olutions. fits government we're secure
and the citizens industrious and quiet, il
would be a beautiful home. An exchange
gives the following account of the City
of Mexico:
Nearly a quarter of million of peo-
pie live in the City of Mexico. How do
they. all gain subsistence? The in.
quiry is a puzzle With no mills, ma.
chine shops, factories or public works,
what is there for the thousands who PEG.
pie the city to do? The food of the poor
is simple and cheap; but whence comes
even the little to purchase their corn,
tortillas aud pepper soups? Many are
carriers and servants; thousands are in
the chain-gang, and subsist on the city.
Thousands steal their bread and appa-
rel, thousands live no one knows how;
and thousands more are paupers and
mendicants, treading the street as an
army Many live on the strangers that
come and go.
Beggars, eyeless and legiess, beset you
on the streets and markets-piteous
sights, holding out their withered limbs
and leprous-eaten arms-pleading all
day long, of every passer-by, for aims,
bread or money to prolong their wretched
lives. In Mexico there are no asylums
for the poor or homes for the crippled,
nor institutions for the blind or insane.
They are licensed to beg so many hours
each day, so You are encompassed and
prayed to and entreated. The country
swarms with these gentry; they meet
you at every turn; and stranger
scarcely sets foot upon shore before he
is beset by scores of professional beg
CARS. Many may be seen sad and weep
ing, haggard and hungry in the morning,
and again at night happy, insulting and
drink l
