Sheridan and Colyer.

Four.ffths of the congressman and Sen.
ators sustain General Sheridan in the posi-.
ton he has taken in Indian affairs. 1t is
generally assumed here that Mr.. Vincent
Colyer is visionary humanitarian, whose
observations, both in Alaska and on the
plains, are of little practical consideration.
A decided reaction has taken place against
the Quaker and Samaritan policy adopted
toward the savages, and considerable
number of the Western and Pacific coast
Representatives are even hostile to making
any more Indian treaties or distributing
food among the tribes. 1t is alleged that
feeding Indians makes them indolent and
insolent. and encourages them to persist in
their nomadic and shiftless mode of life,
Sheridans catalogue of the recent Indian
atrocities is generally accepted as authentic,
and it has aroused adherence. The pacific,
compromising policy is decidedly below par.
We have seemed to reach that point where
civilization demands that we regard the
Indians as irresponsible and implacable,
and not to be purchased to peace by the
methods at hand under our form of gov.
eminent. The Indian ring is by no means
defunct, and all its members are on the side
of the humanitarians. On the other hand,
there is, without doubt, lobby here which
would be glad to see the Indians driven off
their reservations, so that the latter might
fall into the hands of land jobbers and rail-
way corporations. - Washington Core
spondence Chicago Tribune.

Some soldiers were digging well. When
they came to the water, the commanding
officer went to inspect progress. "Weli,
Kelly" said he to the Irishman at the bot
tom of the well. "you have found the water
at last" "Ab! Kurnel," replied the other,
"is all dipinds upon knowing how the thing
ought to be done. Any other man but my
self would have gone forty fut deeper widout
coming to it,"
A male tyrant in Chicago finds fault be-
cause his wife threw dishes in his face
while he was sick and helpless. Being
woman of proper spirit, she has gone to
Omaha with gambler.
An Ohio town proposes to give its women
the right vote, provided they will become
responsible for their husbands debts, and
turn out to mend the roads.
A lady gave this reason for not knowing
the color Of her minister's eyes: When he
prays he shuts his own eyes, and when he
breaches he shuts mine"

'' Now / lay me down to Sleep"
And the blue eyes, dark and deep,
Let their snowy curtains down,
Edged with fringes golden brown.
- All day long the angels fair
I've been watching over there;
= Heavens not far t is Just in sight;
Now they'r calling me-good night!
Over there, just over there,
ehall say my morning prayer;
Kiss me, mother; do not weep,
snow lay me down to Sleep"
Tangled ringlet all smooth now,
Looped back from the waxen brow;
Little hands so dimpled white,
Clasped together-cold tonight,
Where the messy. daisied sod
Brought sweet messages from God,
Two pale lips with kisses pressed,
There they left her to her rest.
Over there, just over there,
List the angels morning prayer;
Lispings low through fancy creep,
Now lay me down to sleep.
