old soldier, pricked up her years, shook
her head, and went like lightnin. Well, it
got TO be 80 bad that couldn't keep her.
She'd stop at every tavern on the road.
She got to be regular old bum, so sold
her to farmer from Hoosick. One day he

A HORSE THAT CHEws TOBACCO
Charley Defreest, another livery man Of
this city, has a horse that chews tobacco.
Whenever Charley takes out bis paper for

and around this particular horse, she
comes up to him with q knowing look in
her eye, rubs her nose against his shoulder,
and begs for chew. He generally gives
her the old "cud" and takes fresh one.
She swallows it down with apparent gusto,
and then retires to her stall satisfied. This

Report OF the Indian Commissioner.
New YORK, Nov. 27.-The annual re-
port Of the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
is quite lengthy. Its main feature relates
TO the Indian policy Of the government,
which Is fully reviewed. An exhaustive
defense Is made Of the changes inaugurat-
ed by President Grant. In the dealings of
the government with the tribes, the con-
tinued employment Of the military is stated
TO be necessary for the repression Of hos
tile tribes, and it is urged that as they cease
to be formidable the government should
extend over them rigid reformatory disci-
pline to prevent them from falling into pau
perism and crime. The policy Of the gov
eminent as respects hostile tribes is thought
to have immeasurably resulted In advant-
age toward civilization aud pioneer enter
prise. The ground Is taken that the only
hope for the salvation Of the Indians
consists In their submission. When the
present rowing tribes are reduced to this
state Of dependence, they must be dealt
with In accordance with the plan now be-
ing pursued towards the moro tract
able and friendly Indians, and which it
is contended is the only true permanent
policy of the Government. The condition
of the Indians who are being constantly
invaded by civilizing influences in tbs far
West is considered, and 1t Is urged that the
state Of want to which the tribes are thus
reduced should be provided fo- by directing
these people to pursuits consistent with pro-
gress and civilization, and that the Govern
ment should supply them with subsistence
during the period Of iDitistory experiment.
From the statistics and figures appended
TO the report, 1t appears that exclusive Of
those In Alaska, there are 100000 Indians
within the limits of the United States, Of
which number $1,000 are civilized, 125, 600
semi-civilized, and $4,000 wholly unciviliz-
ed. The Commissioner says that it belongs
not to the sanguine but to the sober view
Of the situation, that three yeas will see
the alternative of war eliminated from the
Indian question, and the most powerful,
hostile bands of to-day thrown into entire
helplessness on the mercy Of the Govern
ment.

The Trick Of Prospective Brother.

The Trick Of q Prospective Brother
fn-Law,
From the Dsnbury News.
A rather contemplate trick was played on
| one of our clerks Sunday night. He
bought a cut-glass. bottle of cologne, with a
glass stopper and pink ribbon, to present to
young lady be Is keeping company with;
but on reaching the house he felt a little
embarrassed fer fear there were members of
the family present, and so he left the beau
tiful gift on the stoop and passed In. The
movement was perceived by a graceless
brother Of the young lady, who appropriated
the cologne to bis own use, and refilled the
bottle with hartshorn from the family Jar,
and then hung round to observe the result.
In little while the young man slipped out
on the stOop, and securing the splendid gift,
slipped back again into the parlor, where,
with few appropriate words, he pressed it
upon the blushing girl. Like good and
faithful daughter as she was, she at once
hurried into the presence of her mother, and
the old lady was charmed. They didn't put
up scent stuff like that when she was girl;
1t was kept ia china tea-cup, and 1t was
held together by samples of all the family's
hair. But she was very much pleased with
it. She drew out the stopper, lsid the beau
tiful petals Of her nostrils over the aperture,
and fetched pull at the contents that fairly
made them bubble. Then she laid the bottle
down, and picked up brass-mounted fire.
shovel instead, and said she, as soon as she
could say anything, "Where is that sinking
brat?" And he, all unconscious Of what
had happened, was in front of the mirror
adjusting his necktie and smiling at himself.
And here she found him and said to him:
sob, you are laughing at the trick on an
old woman, are you? you wall eyed leperl"
And then she basted him one on the ear.
And he being by nature more eloquent with
his legs than bis tongue, fastened from
there, bowling like mad, and accompanied
to the gate by that brass-mounted shovel.
He says he would give everything on earth
if he could shake off the impression that
mistake had been made.

GOULD'5 CORNER
Additional Suits Against Him

Additional Suttb Against h1ns'
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-President Wat
son, of the Erie railroad, does not intend
rearresting Jay Gould; but says that add
tioDal suits against him are in preparation.
Mr.. Barlow, counsel for the Erie Company
saws that the suits against Gould will en-
brace a series of charges in connection
with the Jefferson railroad company, the
Glenwood coal company, the Communipaw
stock yard company, the Sleeping Coach
company and other companies of similar
kind; also charge in connection with the
title Of the Grand Opera House.
VanderbIIt's SOn-in-Law.
Horace F. Clark in bis testimony yester-
day before the referee concerning the arrest
of proceedings against Jay Gould, said that
previous to the Boston fire Smith, Drew,
Travers and others were short OF North
west and they knew Gould was long OF the
stock. After the fire Smith and his party
bought up lot of the stock thinking they
could sell at an advantage of the panic on
the 23d of November. He was told Gould
was to be arrested. Therefore to avert the
panic which would be likely to follow in
the stock exchange he and Mr.. Schell decided
to bail Gould. He judged that the arrest
was piece of stock jobbing.
Augustus Schell made an affidavit In the
suit to-day which corresponds in detail with
that Of Horace +. Clark.
A stay Of Proceedings.
Judge Fancher to-day granted stay OF
proceedings in the suit Of the Erie Raj lway
against Gould. 1t comes in the shape OF q
motion to show the cause why the order OF
reference to take the testimony OF w. Il
Travers should not be vacated as IMPROVE
IDENTITY granted aud is made returnable FRI
day next.
what Jay Says OF Van.
Jay Gould said this afternoon, referring
to Commodore VaDderbilts card published
Yesterday, that the Commodore must be in
his dotage. The transaction to which Van
derblt refers, said Gould, was simply this:
"In 1868 Vanderbilt held $10,000,000 Erie
stock. / offered TO take fifty thousand
shares from him if he would bold the bal
ance for 60 days, and give me call FOR It,
He sgreed to do so, but broke his promise.
He went on selling the stock from day to
day, and when he had sold all, he delivered
all in one day, attempting to create panic
under the impression that L would not be
able to carry my stock. He failed in bis
purpose and feels sore.over IL. 1t is pity
to see the Commodore falling into dotage."
