A Race Dying Out.

From the amount of talk about In-
dian matters by Congress the Ameri-
can Of average information would
naturally assume that tho United
States had upon it's hands u copper
colored population Of at least half
million, and the same Americanwould
be nt first greatly inclined TO doubt
the statement that, setting aside the
so-called civilized tribes, there are less
than 100000 Indians within the limits
of our entire country, 10 1860 the
number Of the ."uncivilized" was set
down at 44,02l. At the present time,
according TO the Commissioners rc-
port, there are but 1s,500. Should
this frightful ratio Of decrease con-
tinuc, the beginning Of the next cen
tury will see this portion of the alb
original race Of North America swept
from the face of the earth. The sun
civilized" tribes, which go TO make up
the figures quoted, include parts Of
the wcll-known Shawnces, Delawares,
Wyandottes, Senecas, Comanches, Sacs
and Foxes, Pottawattomies, Miamis,
Kaws and Osagcs, with few New
Mexico Apaches, and remnants Of
other tribes once rich and powerful in
Pennsylvania and New York, but now
almost extinct. These tribes, nun.
boring Is, 1928 souls, arc worth, not in.
cluding their land, 3,lT2, ,i0S.---
They cultivate COOS acres, and pro
duced in 1871 total of l62, 900 bushels
of grain, or about 8 bushels 10 each
man, woman and child. They have
AZ, 100 horses, cattle and sheep, worth
81 SOL, 900, and they raise every year
1000 tons Of hay. worth $4,000.
Eight Of the tribes have wcll-regulat-
cd schools, sixteen in number, ON
ploying in 1871 thirty.four teachers,
and imparting instruction TO G54 chill
dren, at a cost Of SIG, 200 for the year.
In 1871, beside the grain yield, the
Indian Territory produced 10000
worth of raw cotton. In view Of these
fucts, the extraordinary rate Of NOR
tality apparent is fairly unaccounta-
bic. 1t cannot be referred 10 the
change in tho mode of living, for the
mortality is greatest among that por-
tion which has refused to adopt the
manners and customs Of civilization
One thing is plainly evident, and that
is, that the race s doomed, and that
nothing can save it from carly extinc-
tion.

The Monarch Of the Sea.

According to Captain Scoresby's es-
innate, whale sixty feet in length
win weigh seventy tons, or as much
US three hundred fat oxen, while the
oil taken from il will be about thirty
tons. II is a common saying among
whalemen that II requires thirty faith
oms Of water for three hundred bar
relcr TO swim in. iA n
The flukcs Of the right whale arc Of
soifu piuDDcr and for nttncK or de-
fence arc by far the most efficient
weapon the animal possesses, sending
n whale-boat and its crow full thirty
feet into mid air, and often killing
many of the men. These nukes are
not placed vertically, us in other fish
but transversely, and parallel to the
surface Of the water; so that whales
have been known 10 swim on at the
ratio Of mile an hour after death, the
onward movement being caused by
the waves giving to tho fukes an al
most lfe-like propulsion. The point
ofjunction between the fukes and the
main body of the animal is extremely
small, and the tendons at this part
are casily severed with q spade.
The head, from which the whale
bone Is obtained, is most singular
structure, and nicely adapted to the
use Of tho cetacean. In shape II has
been compared and very appropriately,

TusSELLiSG A PRoFIr.--Tunnclling
may sometimes be made to pay direct.
ly as we'll as indirectly. A case in
point Is that OF the new tunnel OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the
Point Of Rocks, in connection with
tho new track to Washington. The
expense Of blasting thistunne through
the rock was in the neigbborhood Of
100000. The rock taken out was
utilized for ballast on. the track OF the
road. A crushcr was put up near the
tunnel, the broken rock dumped in
gravel cars and distributed where IL
wonld do the most good. President
Garrett estimates. the value OF the
ballast thus manufactured to be as
much as the outlay for tho constrlc-
tion Of the funnel.

The oldest relic Of humanity Is tho
skeleton of tho earliest Pharaoh, en-
cased 10 It's original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect, considering it's
age, which was deposited eighteen or
twenty months ago in the British
Museum, and is justly considered the
most valuable Of its archaeological
treasures. The lid Of the coffin which
contained tho royal mummy was in
scribed with the name ofits occupant,
Pharaoh Mykcrimus, who succeeded
the beir Of the builder Of the great
pyramid about ten centuries before
Christ. Only think Of IL! the mon
arch whose crumbling bones md leath-

born, and only about eleven centuries
or 80 after Misraim, the grandson oi

The stones most valuable for this pur-

Why Aunt Sallie Never Married.

"Now, Aunt Snllie, do please tell us
why you never got married, You're
member you said once that when you
were q girl you were engaged to
minister, and promised us you would
tell us about II somo time. Now, aunt,
please tell u.s."
"Wcll, you see, when | was about
seventeen years old l was living in
Utica, 10 the State OF New York.
Though say II myself, | was quito
good looking girl then, and had sew
eral bcaux. Tho one that took my
fancy was young minister, a very
promising young man, and remarka.
bly, pious and steady. He thought a
good deal of me, and kind Of took a
fancy TO him, and things went on until
wo were engaged. Ono evening he
came 10 me, and put his arms around
mo and kind OF hugged me, when |
got excited and some Illustrated. IL
was long time ago, and don'tknow
but what | might have Rugged back a
little. ! was like any other girl, and
pretty soon pretended ~ DO mad at
It, and pushed him away, though !
wasn't mad bit. You must know
the house where / lived was in one OF
the back streets OF the town. There
were glass doors in the parlor which
oponed over the street. These doors
were drawnto. stepped back little
from him, and when hc came up close
l pushed him back again. pushed
him harder than l intended to-; and
don't you think, girls, the poor fellow
lost his balance and fell through one
of tho glass doors into the street"

0verwork--A Sensible Protest.

A great amount of very pcrnicious
twaddle has lately been published on
the subject Of the alleged overwork in
which many Of the greatest, and pos
eibly some Of tho least, men Of the
present generation indulge, in the pur-
spit either Of wealth and fame, or high
sbcial position. Work is divine
Without work, human life would be
intolerablo, and man would be little
else than sponge, an oyster, or q
Iimpet upon the rock, which only ex.
ists TO imbibe the nourishment that
they are Too imbocile or too powerloss
ID seek. But like all tho abundant
blessings spread around mankind,
cork is only beautiful and good in its
degree. II muet be used, and not
abused. Too much of anything is
not good for us. Vice itself is 7bnt
virtue degenerated and dissipated by
being forced into extremes. In like
manner, work, II not carried beyond
tho point at which all the functions OF
mind and body are exercised without
undue strain upon either, is one Of the
greatest, IL not the very greatest of all
the blessings that are showered upon
tho human rncc. There is far too
great disposition in oil countries TO
look upon labor Us something inflicted
upon man as q curse for his disobcdi-
cncc, TO interpret literally, and not
according 10 the spirit, the penalty
laid upon Adam, and 10 take ndvant-
age. of the misintorpretations to shirk
labor altogether, or to impose it un-
duly upon the weaker This doctrine
requires not only discouragement, but
disproof; for tho inevitable result Of
its adoption would be either to reduce
men 10 tho state of savages, when the
only labor undertaken would be that
of the chase OF wild animals or the
capture Of birds and fish to provide
food for the sustenance OF lie, or the
establishment Of slavery. when mono
but slaves would work upon the com.
pulsion Of their lord and masters
But work, looked upon with the eye
OF reason, is the choicest advantage Of
our mortal state, the only motive
