PRESIDENT GRANTS ADMlNIsTRA-
TIoN We can remember no.adminis-
tration of the General Government q
wise. so consistent, 30 incorruptible
aud so ecOnom cni as that Of President
Grant. No one eau deny, however
hostile he may be as q political oppo-
nrut, or unsuccessful in obtaining an
Office, that lie has, regardless Of con-
sequences, faithfully executed he laws.
When he came Into office he found the
civil service debsuchsd f; dishonesty
VAS the rule Of public life, and the
country seemed to be at tho mercy OF
unpruclpled sdventurcrs, who plum
dersd tho Treasury and trailicksd in
the nations honor and faith. Reform
come in with the fourth Of March
1869; reform has SO grown with the
administration that tho public debt
hss been reduced more that ono hun.
drei and seventy eight milIiops dol
lars, and tho country 10 generally pros.
Perous and progressive. AMI thi,
is the policy he is determined to pur-
sue in the future. There may b.
croaksrs in the republican party
there will naturally be bitter isult hnd,
srs and denunciators in the Democrat.
&c party; but they will oil fail to drive
'im from his marked out path OF strict
integrity, relrenchmcnt and economy
which he pursued from the beginning

. wrong side Of tho ditch.' 10 1860
and 6l he was q very active rebel IN
the Mississippi valley. Long before
the State OF Tennessee had seeded
from tho Union" Gen. Pillow was
" doing military duty" at Memphis.
Upon his own responsibility, not hav-
Ing orders from a superior he seized
siesmboats and their esrgoes owned
by northern men, and sold them Tor
ths benefit Of the rebels. A Pitts
burg firm, whose towboa's, bargcs, and
coal we're ssizei by Pillow, brought
suit sgsipst him Tor value thereof, and
and have received verdict 10 tn,
United States Court IN their favor.
Pillow is immensely rich, and will be
forced to pay for the stolen property.
The effect of this verdict will be to
induce other nothern men to prose
cute similar claims against the rebel
leaders, who, by seli.constituied au-
'hority. captured The property Of loyal

Report on Indian AHairs.

The report Of tho United States
Commissioned Of lndisn affairs, which
has been prioted. gives in thorough
detail interesting facts concerning the
Indian policy Of the government and
the administration Of the Peace Conn
missioncrs which is regarded as per.
feclly satisfactory. and as having re.
suited benciicislly both TO the govern
meut and to the Indians. The former
has received practical good through
.hc workings OF the Quaker Conmis.
sioncrs, in an honest expenditure oI
he appropriations at their mmand
~ well as in reduction OF the bureau
expense 10y careful supervision OF he
annuity goois, &r.. to bc disposed ot
to he Indians. The report claims u
most economical expenditure ol thc
appropriations, and the adoption Of q
system which will enable the bureau Ia
transact its business under a much
less es'ima'e during this fiscal year
than was called for in tho last report
The decrease 10 the present estimate
is little over u thousand dollars. The
general tone at the report concerning
the character and disposition OF the
trihcs is satisfactory.
The missionary exercises, which
have been carried into practical efrcc,
by the Quaker agents are highly eulo-
giscj, as having tended to render the
tribes much more amcnable to the 70
Iquircmeun Of the government, and
the dictates Of civilization than for
mcrIy. The principal features in the
advancement Of The vari us tribes. are
the consideration paid by them to the
establishment Of mission-srLools and
to education. The commission has
reason to believe that with the constant
endsavors Of the Quaker officials,
backed by the support they have from
the government. the system of Indian
affairs is rapidly being reduced to an
excellent standard. and that the pre-
ccpts "f civilization and Christianity
will work q wonderful chsngc in their
character The present quiet aspect,
there ia reason to hope, will continue,
and that the stories of raids and rava-
ees which has been so frequent of late
years, will have no repetition. Inter.
esting documents from Indian officers
accompany the report of the commits.
sion. The usual statistics of different
tribcs are given. and inll Information
upon all subjects relative to the pres
cnt Indian policy is submitted by the
authors of tho different reports &C.

A STRONG TEMPTATIoN.

A Young man, or rather boy, for
he was not vet seventeen years Of
ace. was clerk in one of the great
mercantile houses in New York.
An orphan and poor, he must rise,
.ifhe rose at all, by hisown exertions.
His handsome, honest faee, and
free cordial manner, won for him the
friendship of all his fellow-laborers,
and many we're the invitations he
received to join them in the club
room, in the theatre, and even in the
bar-room. But Alfred Harris had
the pure teachings of a Christian
mother to withhold him from rush
ing headlong into dissipation and
vice, and all the persuasion of his
comrades could not induce him 10
join them in scenes like these. He
feared the consequences.
One evening one Of his fellow
clerks, George Warren, the most
high toned and moral among them,
invited Alfred to go home with him
to supper and make the acquaint-
anee of his family. The boy gladly
assented, for he had spent so many
lonely evenings, with only his books
and his thoughts for company.
He found his friends family very
social and entertaining. Mrs, War
ren, the mother, was pleasant, WIN
lining, | might almost say, tascIna-
TING woman; one of the kind whose
every little speech seems OF conse-
Iouence. and whose every act was
/ trustworthy. Mr.. Warren was
CHEEKY, social, fond of telling stories
and amusing young people. And
| Georges sister, Jessie-how shall
describe her? A girl about Alfred:
lown age, a half bashful, half saucy
dimple-faced, rOsy-cheeked maiden
sparkling with wit and pleasantly
and pretty enough for any young
man to fall in love with at first sight
This was Mr.. Warren's family, anc
lit was NO wonder that Alfred wa
Icharmed with them. They we're no
wealthy people, but we're in easl
circumstances, and on promising
road to fortune. Alfred very sool

A Good Word for Good Hu.aor.

Every man should be sober some
times. l once knew one so unfor-
tunate as to be sober all the time,
and yet an honest man. We have
known men that never smiled, OF
seldom, whose faces were rigid as al
iron mask, and yet they we're kind
simple, and really reliable.
But such are exceptional cases.
Uniform sobriety is presumtively
very much against a man. He who
gives no play to the gentler feelings
has something that he should be
looked into before one trusts him.
Mirth itself is not always honest.
But it tends to openness, to sincerity
to sweetness. Mirth has better STUFF
in it to make a man Of than sobriety
has. 1t, too, is used sometimes as a
mask for hypocrisy; but rot half so
often as sobriety is. Only consider
how many men, quite worthless,
inwsrdly neither rich nor forceful,
are kept agOing by the mere trick of
gravity.
When some men come to you it is
ike sunrise. Everything seems to
take new life, and shines. Other
men bring night with them. The
chill shadow Of their sobriety falls
upon every innocent gayety, and
your feelings, like birds at evening,
stop singing and 60 to their rOOst.
Away with these fellows who 90
