WORTH REMEMBERING.

A man Inns not risen very high
who expends his energy only in
scorning and contempt for evil.
Often do we think when we
should act, and act when it be-
hooves to reflect, hence caution is
frequently as fatal as rashncss.
Three questions Co be put to
ourselves before speaking evil of
any man: First. is 1t true? Sec
ond, is it kind? Third, is it nee
essary:
If you have only killed one sell
fish principle by another You have
done nothing; hut If you have al
so awakened the higher faculty
and given it free power Of self-cx-
ertion, yoa have done everything.
Duty is the first step in great
ness-the helm that steers man
safely over the pillows of life. II
we fail in our duty we bid farewell
to the land of pronise-to the
haven of hope; mans honorable
occupation is gone.
If you wish to be miserable,
you must think about your
self; about what you want, what
you like, what respect people
ought TO pay you, what people
think of you; and then to you
nothing will be pure. You will
spoil everything you touch; you
will make sin and misery for
yourself ont of everything God
sends you; you will be as wretch.
, ed as you choose.
/ Half truths arc very attractive
/ TO some minds. They admit oil
iforcible statement, from the alb.
sence OF all attempt at modifica-
ton, and they appear to possess
simplicity and unity. They can be
overcome, not by the other hal
truth, but by the pnrest presenta
ton of the whole.
| This shows the value OF asso
lcition. A little Concord chap

GEN. SHERNAN's INDIAN Policy.

General Sherman has just written
his opinion of the Indian and the
Presidents Indian policy. He says:
The army had charge of the Indi-
an sixty vcars, and did all the civil
ization effected, and could do be tier
than any other agency to-day. An
Indian prefers an army officer to a
civilian agent. The peace policy
theoretically puts an Indian on Il
reservation for education and sup
port, and puts the army outside TO
keep him there. Practically, the
army is not big enough to surround
the reservation, and the Indian goes
off and on when he pleases, and the
reservation becomes q supply depot
and sanctuary. In western Kansas
and Nebraska escorts are always re-
quired to prevent robbery and MUIR
der, although the tribes are at peace
and supported by the government.
/ would not believe how badly the
reservation system worked till L saw
it with my own eyes at Fort Sill,
where Santata came and talked
openly of murders and fortunes just
committed outside. / arrested San
tuta, and sent him to the state au-
thorities of Texas, where he was
tried and sentenced to be hing. The
sentence was committed to life i'm
prisonment through the influence of
the government, and now he is to
be turned loose to murder sgain.
The settlers need protection as
we'll as the Indians. Emigrants are
wrongfully charged and misjudged.
They are as good as anybody else
in the country, and to my personal
knowledge the settlers are law.abid-
ing, industrious and honest. They
develop the resources of the coun-
try, pay taxes to support the gov
eminent, and don't like to see lndI-
ans about them. Indians are paupers
and thieves when not worse, while
they add TO the labor of closing up
civilization. / deem the Modoc
crime doubly inexcusable because of
their long association with civilized
people. i deprecate the senscless,
unjust cry made against the army
when Custar punished Black Kettle
and Baker the Pigeans. Should not
the Modocs suffer like penalty for
their crimes? In the lava beds SOL
dicrs can't stop to distinguish sex,
and If women are killed II IL the
fault of themselves, and may servo
as an example needed on account of
the ncighboriDg Pintes and kia-
maths.

a NEW STUDY.

| The managers of the Boston
public schools arc now consider
ing the propriety of giving in
struction in sewing to all the girls
iclasses in grammar achools. This
branch of industrial education is
now taught with gratifying sue
cess in some rooms, and concern
ing it We quote this from one of
the principals reports:
"The use or the needle is now
taught in six rooms, which is con-
sidered very great advantage.
This important branch of female
education has heretofore been too
much neglected. It has such 8 di-
rect bearing upon the practical
duties of life that we might expect
| it to hold q pre-eminent place in
any well considered scheme of f.
male education. There may be
more SNOWY and pretentious de-
partments, but there is nothing
that will have more powerful in
fluence upon their coming life as
sisters, daughters, wives and
mothers. The committee would
urge upon this board tho intro
duction, SO far as practicable, of
the general, systematic and thor
ough instruction of sewing, that
may hold at least as important a
place in the education OF girls as
music and drawing, which, though
greatly desirable, are no moro SO
to any young woman than the
proper and skiliful use OF the
needle"
This subject is of no little prac-
teal moment, and those concern
ed in educational matters will
watch with interest the result of
the Boston experiment.

sit is desirable that each rail.
way postoffice clerk be furnished
with every facility to perfect him
self in the duties required of him,
and in all informations which will
help to render his services more
valuable TO the postfiiee depart
ment, and with this in view ar
rangements have been made to
supply the latest and best edition
of Cotton's School Geography, at
the lowest wholesale rate. One
important feature in this geogra-
ply is the railway maps"
This is a wholesome require
ment on the part of the superin-
tendant of the second division, for
the middle States, and let it be
hoped that the same will become
general. It will do route agents
good to learn that the shortest
distance from st. Louis to San
Francisco is not via Chicago.
But is this applicable to post
office clerks on railways onlyf
Why should not the geography of
the great railroads of the cont
nent be learned as thoroughly as
that of the rivers? 1t is 4 matter
which belongs TO the schools
We are pleased to state that this
is taught in the normal school as
a part of the regular course in
Geography and the example of the
Professor in charge of that de-
partment is worthy of imitation
by all teachers of Geography.

RICHES OF COLORADO.

CAPTAIN Samuel Adam, in let
ter from Colorado to the Wasting
ton Chronicle, says: "IVithin thir-
ty miles of Caliyille and FL Do

the sides of the mountains hori-
zontai veins of pure transparent
salt, from twenty to seventy-iive
feet in thickness. This is taken
out with the pick and powder,
and is used in the settlements

along the Colorado. Several tons
have been taken TO San Francis

Some of the ore is so rich that,
being subjected to the heat OF
blacksmith's fire, the silver glob-
ules would stand out like shot.
Here are mines which are des-
tined to be equal, if not supe
rior, to the demonstrated richness
of those at Cottonwood, White
Pine and other points, where
the expense of operating is much
greater than in this section.
