each address is followed by the introduction of

pledge. In some schools all the pupils adopt it.
School committees and teachers second the

THE GRAND CENTRAL HoTEL.-This superb.

still attracting the attention of the press of the
country. 1t seems to be an acknowledged rem
dezUous for travellers from every Cline A WIS.,
itor's glance at the multitudes that daily and
nightly throng its spacious halls and ample ex-
changes, will confirm the fact that it really
finds accommodation for nearly two thousand
guests.
In keeping with its size and splendor. H. Iv-
man Powers, its proprietor, has conducted it
with untiring energy, upon a scale of hospita-
BILE liberality hitherto unknown in the history
of hotel management.
Its sudden innovation upon the exorbitant
rates charged by other flrst-class hotels-adopt-
ing prices from one to two dollars less per day
has been the subject of various editorial no
tees throughout the country, and we heartily
add our concurrence in this mnch-needed re-
form. The Grand Central is generally found
to be the new York residence of our leading
public men, and majority of visiting foreign.
ers Indeed, the fame of the ''Grand Central''
at home has ''gone abroad" 1t is what Victor
Hugo, in Paris, would call ''Une Grande Palais
Royale," and visitors will find what has been
said of it is true.

PROTECTION FOR THE Fisheries meet
ing OF the citizens of Cape Cod interested in
fisheries was held Wednesday in Barnstable to
consider their interests as affected by this treaty
OF Washington. Major Phinney of the Barn
stable Patriot offered the following resolution
which was adopted:
RESOLVED, that in view of the inevitable effects
of the Treaty of Washington upon the fishery
interests of Cape Cod we would urge upon Con-
gress liberal protection for that branch of in
dustry, confident that unless some such course
is adopted the competition of foreign fisheries
under the provisions of said treaty between
England and the United States will ultimately
destroy an occupation which has long been Of
great value to the commerce and marine of the
country.
A committee was chosen to act in conjunction
with similar committees from Plymouth and
Gloucester for the purpose of memorializing
Congress upon the condition of the fisheries and
to employ suitable persons to represent their in

RICHARD C. SHANNON of Biddeford, who
has been nominated for the position of Secre-
tary of Legation at Brazil, is young man of
ability and culture. He was a student at
Colby University at the breaking out of the
war. He gave up his college course, enlisted
in the 9TH Maine Regiment, doing good SER
vice in that and other organizations until the
close of the war. He was very properly al
lowed to take his degree with his college class
in 1862. Since the war he has resided several
years in Brazil, whence he wrote interesting
letters to the New York Tribune.

SENATOR MORRILL, of this State is enti-

has shown in the quieting of the Indians.
He has at this early day introduced resolu-
ton inquiring whether some further legisla-
ton is not necessary to carry into effect the
treaties made with the Indians by the Peace
Commissioners. These treaties contemplated
the setting aside of reservations on which the
Indians were to be collected and kept perina-
nently. The Commissioners accordingly Sc
lected two reseryations-one in Indian Terri
tory and the other on the Upper Platte in
Dakotah Territory-which are supposed to be
>-A o. Nnoooh W CouIdIu all Jnc Indians east
OF the Rocky Mountains. Their action was
duly reported to Congress several years ago,
and large numbers of Indians from time to
time have been placed upon these reseIva-
lions. But up to the present date Congress
has never ratified and confirmed the reserva-
tions to the Indians, and there is consequent
ly no assurance that they will not be despoiled
of the lands and driven from their new homes
by the encroachments of unprincipled whites

withstanding the faith of the government has
been pledged that they should never again be
disturbed SC. long as they remain peaceable.

Overweening Confidence.

Childlike confidence is a good enough
thing occasionally, but it can be cultivated
too extensively. There, for instance, was
PoloDius Hyde. In his youth he had read
that a wild animal can be scared off simply
by opening your umbrella suddenly in its
face. So when Polonius was in India be
thought he would just take a stroll through
the Jungle and see how the arrangement
would work. Armed with q green ging-
ham umbrella, he prowled around for a
while, until he saw a Bengal tiger slowly
creeping up to him, with the evident in.
tention of lunching off his remains. Pc.
lonius got his umbrella in position, with
his thumb on the spring all ready to slam
her open. The tiger kept circling round
and round, nearer and nearer, AT last the
animal crouched for a spring, and Polo
MUS flung his green Bingham to the breeze.
About three weeks at erward an advertise
ment offering a reward for a missing man
named Polonius Hyde, having appeared
in the paper, a Bengal tiger was found
dead upon the steps Of the publication
office n xt morning. A post mortem ex-
animation disclosed the fact that his
stomach contained a handful Of red hair
the same shade as Hyde's, a deck of cards,
eighte, n bone buttons, a suspender buckle,
six toe. nails, and a green gingham UNI.
brella with the initials p. Ii. engraved on
the handle. In Bengal Mr., Hyde's
experiment is not regarded as an entire
success.
