Charges are directly made that contracts for

the Indian Bureau to allow its friends an oppor-

own prices. An instance is cited in the case Of
the Verde Indian Reservation, the order not to
award the contract being telegraphed to the
Agency while the bids were being opened. 1t is
the old story OF the Indian Bureau paying twice
as much for inferior supplies as is PAID for the
best quality OF goods purchased by the army.

The financial management of the adj
ministratiOn has been criticised but its
payment Of three hundred million dollars
of the public debt has inspired confidence
all over the civilized world in the deter
mination of the United States to pay its
debts. This has facilitated the task of fund
ing its bonds at l>w rate on long time.
When all the bonds drawing a high rate of
interest are taken up, the business of the
country will feel the advantage of re-
lease of capital which has been lying idle
in bonds, and which ought to be at work
in manufactures, merchandise and other
forms of industry. In the meantime some
of the debt must be neglected, and the
government has properly selected the less
solemn obligations in the form of currency
The bonds once out of the way, the coun-
try can easily and quickly resume specie
payments and put its greenbacks up to

A man who may have occasion to visit
New York, especially Wall Street, had bet
ter not wear paper collar and patched
boots The people of that pious locality
can tolerate good many other things bet
ter, since stranger named Horton. from
Pennsylvania, dropped into one of the
banks last Thursday in pursuit of S37 900
in gold. He got over $4,000. After he
went out one of the brokers present re-
marked that Horizons paper collar and
patched boots made him look like horse
thief. Horton proved to be a swindler,
and now it is presumed that paper collars
and patched boots are more objects of sus-
picion than ever in Wall street. The tele-
graph says $1,000 is offered for more
satisfactory view of Horton.

THE SHOW.

Barnums show has some statuettes, por-
traits, museum relics, waxworks and me-
chanical devices, apparently thrown in ex
ira for variety, and partly to please every
taste. Though they have cheap look,
some of them, the menagerie tent would be
less attractive without them. 1t must be
depressing to the musical enthusiasm of
street artists to see wax figure or an ele-
plant rivaling himself in the music drawn
from hand organ. Nor does it seem just
the thing to burlesque circus rider before
his face by goat that rides and leaps
horseback, eats fine cut tobacco, and drinks
beer.
Bsrnum is great on names. His ''sea-
lion" is represented on the canvas as occu-
pying the lances of three desperate looking
sailors, while the terrible animal has anoth-
er on the ground, over whose PROSTATE
form he is reared like an angry colossus.
When you come into the menagerie and
listen to his terrific below, and are told by
the Snowman that he can't be tanned, you
feel like keeping respectful distance. The
Snowman remarks that some menagerie
people pretend to have sea lions when they
have nothing but seals. A glimpse at natu-
raj history will reveal that the sea-lion is a
variety of the seal. Notwithstanding his
hoarse roar and formidable teeth, he has a
mild, beautiful eye like deer, and when
the observer sees the Snowman p0king fish
into the monsters mouth without any APP
parent risk, you begin to call to mind that
seamen kill the creatures with a blow on
the nose, and you then recOllect that two
men in the Antartic ocean are reported to
have killed four thousand seals recently.
Still, the creatures are there, and they
are curious animals. Barnum has the
merit of showing in his tents all he puts on
his bills. He has many animals, and his
circus and acrobat performances are first
class.
The "What is it" looks like an idiotic
mulatto, with great deal of face and nose
and very little head.
The side-show is separate thing from
Barnum's. 1t contains all it adyertses,
though the aztec children" might be imi-
tated by couple of mulattoes with large
noses, retreating chins, great deal of
kinky hair, and not much head or mind.
The morning and afternoon perfoman-
ces in the circus were adorned with the
same jokes spoken and acted in the same
manner. But let anybody sit down DELHI
erately to carve out joke for special
purpose, and he may be thankful if he gets
one, without asking two, of Providence
who sends rain upon the just and the mn
just, but confers the power of making jokes
only upon the elect.
Yet, all depreciation being allowed for,
there was nothing to offend the most re-
fined modesty, while there was good rest
for ten thousand people who have few
amusements, and who enjoyed the matter,
and received the ample worth of their
money,

Judge Steele shook hands with the Indians,
and said he was glad to meet them. Jack
was the only one who removed his hat.
Scar-Faced Charley was called to the front
to act as interpreter. Judge Steele said he
regretted to see that the Indians had not
followed his advice and behaved them
selves. He was sorry to find them In such
bad fix, but he had come 10 have u talk,
and he wanted nothing but the truth.
Then followed questions about the dispo-

first the Indians denied any knowledge of

ring.
They told different stories and referred
the Judge to Hawker JIM Shack Nasty
Jim and Steamboat Frank. desiring to i'm
plicate those three worthless as much as
possible. Jacks people hate the two Jims
and Frank on account of their treachery.
They have threatened to kill them or have
them killed even if it takes years to accom-
plisll the job. Boston Charley said that
the Indians placed the match under rock
and that the ring was turned after the bat
tie at Dry Lake. 1t was burned with FL
lens Man and his property. After half an
hours talk Judge Steele told them that I'M

fate and not try to get the ear of the Tyhee

WHO ARE TO ESCAPE THE GALLONS.
The following is found in dispatch to
the New York Herald, under date of San
Francisco, June 18th:
1t is generally thought that Bogus Char
ley, Hawker Jim, Shack Nasty Jim and
Steamboat Frank, who volunteered to aid
in the capture of Captain Jack, will es-
cape punishment as murderers, but those
who are not tried for murder will be for
warded to Fort Alcatraz, in San Francisco

Have any of our readers any cloth, lin
seed oil. or ropes to spare? If so, they
might address John Wise. He wants to go
to Europe, and only needs some cloth, lin
seed oil, ropes and life boat for an emer-
gency. He does not know where he will
land, whether in London or Africa, but he
has an indefinite idea of going east. He
has made 446 balloon voyages, 400 of which
carried him east of his point of departure,
and one over thousand miles, and he
wants to try that perpetual high ranging
west wind for voyage across the Atlantic.
He thinks he is the best man to try the
experiment, and it really seems so, for if
he should stop in the middle of the Attain
tic, nobody could deny that he had made
VOYAGES enough.

passed over Gloversville, Maryfcld and

four buildings were struck by lightning
and totally destroyed by fire, the reflection
from each being visible at the same time.
One was the dwelling of wealthy farmer,
located between Gloversville and Johns

their lives. The hail stones which fell
were of great size and many were picked
up in the highway as late as three o'clock
in the afternoon, and the stage driver car

9TH of April, 1884. Now we are said to
have about seventy thousand miles Of rail-

miles year. 1t is good record for one
generation and fraction of another. The

more railroads than we have.
