Our Indian Policy.

The old adage that stitch in time saves nine, is verified by the results of mistaken Indian policy on the part of the Gouernmcnt. Our authorities have at last awakened to a realization of the necessity of an effective movement for the protection of the pioneers in our Territories Continued accounts of ln- dian raids and murders come to us from Ari- zona. and at last General Crook, who Is equal to the emergency, under the direction of General Schofeld, proposes to attack all Apachcs who are found outside of their res ervations after the 18th of this month. The people of Arizona are to be eengr"t@,%" :, % that they are ria UT me poficy Of Colyer, and all other mistaken philanihroplsts ot hls school Tbe development of Montana, Col orado and Western Nebraska has been re- tartled by the neglect of the General Gov ernment to protect the settlers from the raw ages of the Indians. Those only who have witnessed the practical effect of the foolish, and indeed hesrtless policy of our Indian Commission heretofore, can realize the evil effect it has produced upon the Territories that have been placed at the mercy of the savages. It is bright omen for Arizona to find that the commanders of our forces have at last been allowed to adopt the only ctfec- tive policy with the Indians-that of thor oughly whipping them out. If such con-
 mandcrs as Harney and Connor had been al-
 lowed to adopt this course, as attempted by
 them dozen years ago, Colorado would to- day have been more thickly settled by far than she is now, and would doubtless have been thriving State. Our Territories are fortunate in the near dawning of a brighter day. Sacramento (Cdl) Record.

Progress of Japan.

Mir DeLong said, regarding the progress of the Japanese, at the recent banquet in San Francisco:
 But the other day his Majesty received his fleet of ten steam vessels of war, including two powerful iron -clads, and in a few days a flying squadron, composed of three of his Majesty's vessels of war, will sail to circun . navigate the globe.
 A railroad completed and in running order from Yeddo to Yakahama, conveyed these gentlemen, our noble guests, on the com mencement of their journey.

Place Aux Danes.

Japan is a wonderful country and her peo~
 plc are progressive. Not content with sehd inp her young noblcs to our colleges, anu their great statesmen to our Government 'o learn the Western civilization, they have diS-
 matched beyy of their damsels to DICK up
 American accomplishments. The hmeftca broupht over half a dozen young Japanese
 princesscs ea route to the female college al Vas- sar. Their arrival here has caused sensa, tion in San Francisco where the rlch-nSureo silks and satins of Japanese female tasnlon have never before appeared; but what VIII this be to the sensation produced at leddo when these adventurous travellers return, clad in the latest Parisian costumes, armed with the newest Yankee accomplishments, and, says the Sacramento Record, saturated with the spirit of republicanism-and perhaps ot Shoddydom! The Japanese women of the upper classes are mostly as fair as our own girls, and many of thom are extremely beau tiful For grace of department and modesty of demeanor they will match any Of their sistcrhood the world over. The most grace full bow, the sweetest smile, and the most en
 gazing coyncss, are characteristics of these Eastern houris, who have nothing in common with the Chinese women we see in this coun- try. We do not doubt that this latest i'm portation from Japan will create very de- cided fiuttering among the youths at Vassar, or wherever they may be going, and as the Japanese are wonderfully quick and intelli- gent, these girls may put their American comrades upon their mettle before long. It is evidAnt that the Mikadn is not disposed to do things by halves in his reform project, and we trust that neither he nor the young Prin- cesses who have come among us to learn our ways and to imbibe the lore of the Western world, will ever have cause to regret their temcrity in passing the Rubcon.

The Story Oil Case Decided.

The great Story oil farm case, after over two weeks trial in the United States Circuit Court at Erie, Penn., has been decided. The story of the well is as fol- lows: , -. .- ......-.z--. ~. -, .-. s .
 Rickey & Co.,, conditionally bought the Story farm on Oil Creek, in April, 1871. Nobody knew of the existence of other than sand wells on the ground at that time; these failed rapidly. On April 1, 1861, the bargain for the land was consummated at 8 less figure than Hickey & Co.,, saying they would lose $200O already paid rather than pay more specified in tile original agreement, than $2O, ,OOO for the property. It was worth worth only $5, 900 for farming purposes at that time. There were seven wells on the land, but none were pumping. Two months after the Steiner weIl-the first flowing we'll in the oil regions, flowing 500 barrels day-was struck there, and the territory became immensely produc- tive. Six years after, Story thought he had been defrauded and brought this suit.
 The charge of Judge McKennan was direct for defendant, as was the weight o1 the evidence, but the jury found for plain tiff in the sum of $31, ,095. Judge McKennan indignantly set aside the verdict on the ground that it was against law and evidence, and and awarded a new trial. An attempt was made by plaintiff to impeach the integrity of c. D. Taylor, of Franklin, Story's former attorney, but this signally and utterly failed.

An Oil Prince

In the first days of the oil fever, one Dr. Egbert, 8 physician on Oil Creek, says letter writer, was the owner of a miserable tract of land, lying on the creek about twelve miles below Titusville and opposite the now fourishing town of Petroleum Centre. Falling in with all the rest, after the oil excitement began, the doctor, of course, must try for oil, ], as it was quite apparent his barren acres could never produce anything else. He ran out but the oiH4lidn't t, and the doc tor was stuck. Being persevering sort of fellow, and dreaming himself half in to the belief that his rocky goat pastures overlaid fathomless lake of petroleum, that only waited the advent of the drill to burst forth and cover him all over with joy and greenbacks, he did not for a mo- ment despair. Full of this idea, he ap- piled to one Charles Hyde, 8 country grocer, doing small business near by, to furnish the needful wherewith to finish boring the well. After long and laborious confab at divers times, the high con- tracting parties at length arrived at an agreement. The money was forthcom- ing and they were to own the we'll joint ly and share profit or loss equally. Be fore the funds again ran dry, the oil ran out in huge stream. Oil was indeed struck with vengeance, flowing well of one thousand barrels day rewarded their perseverance, and nearly caused them to lose their wits for joy.
 Business once took me to this farm in 1864, and for two hours I stood by this wonderful we'll, rapt in perfect amaze ment. There was continuous, though pulsating, stream of pure oil coming forth of it's own accord, the size of ones wrist, and keeping numbers of men busy barreling it up and rolling it away. Think of it !! stream, as it were, of li- quid greenbacks, at the rate of $4, cooper day for weeks, months and years. learned in the office of the company that the oil of this well was even then sold fol weeks ahead of it's production.

Some Fashion Notes.

Stitched gloves are no longer consid- cred fashionable, and are preferred with four or six buttons, without any division at the wrist.
 A new style of fringe for dress consists of olive shaped passementerie ornaments, alternating with small leaves studded with jet beads.
 A few foppish young men wear over coats of seal-skin or cloth lined with crimson silk, and the coat is worn open for ostentatious display.
 A new style of earring has chain fastened from one earring to the other, passing under the chin and answering the double purpose of a necklace also.
 A new style of holder for brides boquet is of frosted silver in the shape of narrow-pointed leaves, and at the end of each leaf small bell of the same metal.
 Striped velvet and satin dresses are very much in vogue for street wear over black or brown silk dresses.
 The large pointed veils now take the place of the tiny voilletts which have been so much worn this season.
 The latest style of looped over-skirt resembles the top of an old fashioned parlor organ.
 Sleeveless lace sacks are very stylish, worn with light silk dresses, for the house or full dress.
