A Prolific Race.

No person can visit Virginia without
being surprised at the numerous proofs
of the fertility of the native women of
Nevada, the Piute squaws. Children lit
orally swarm about their camps, and
when Piute matron takes her promen-
ade through the streets she might aptly
be compared to an old hen quail at the
head of her brood. Men, women and
children present most hardy and robust
appearance. Old Jim, Piute of strong
Mormon procliyities, has three wives and
whole hillside of children. Some tribes
of aboriginese may be dying out, but the
Piutes are not to be numbered with any
of such slight stamina; the divine com
mand to increase and multiply " is not
lost upon them At present they are
comfortably dressed, have plenty to eat,
and are happy as the day is long; but
eventually they will be unable to obtain
food and clothing gratis of the whites,
when it will be necessary to find some
work for them to do. Owing to the ma
ture of the country in which they were
born and have grown up--a poor game
regioR-they are not strongly addicted
to the chase, and have no false pride in
regard to laboring at the kind Of work
they can do; therefore. they may some
times prove eful-Ehterpriss.

pended in organizing, supplying, and

which was withheld by the former Sec
retary of the Treasury, under the pre-
text that West Virginia was liable for
the interest on certain Virginia bonds
of the Interior, has / am gratifed to in

by the present Secretary of the Treasu-

that this payment was obtained without

and Representatives in Congress gave
the matter early and prompt attentien.
Senator Boreman especially, being ia
