An Indian Boys Letter.

| The Washington Republican introduces
an Indian boys letter in this manner:
We happened to get hold of the following
letter written in English by little son only
nine years old, to his father, Colonel Lewis
| Downing, principal chief of the Cherokee
| Nation, who is now in this city on business,
and we can not refrain from publishing it.
Can any of our nine-year old white bows
beat it! The letter mingles the beautiful
simplicity of childhood with the suggestions
of wisdom. What can be more instructive
than some of the child's thoughts on the In
dian question. If that boy lives he will
grow up to greatness and goodness, and
prove a blessing to his race. We are sure
he will go on and improve himself. Under
his little ''arbOr" both his mind and soul
will expand, for there, hid from the great
world. he will be cOmmuning with his books
and his God at the same time:
