IL is fact pretty generally known that the
far western people "don't 60 much on the
North American Indian. The Rev Henry NJ
Baum, rector Of st. Matthews Church, Lara
mie City. Wyoming, recently preached a ser
mon on the Indian question, which 50 delighted
his congregation that they caused it to be
printed for dissemination in the states farther
east The reverend gentleman took for his text:
Sand Joseph made il a law over the land (,
and argued that the Indians should be held as
strictly accountable to the laws as are the peo-
PIE OF all other races in the United States
Says the Rev. Mr.. Baum: .If a farmer or
miner kills an Indian in self-defence, he must
be put on trial for murder. If the Indian kills
the farmer or miner, he returns to his tribe and
Is reckoned among them a brave" He gives
the remedy for our Indian troubles in the fol-
lowing language:
"When they are made to earn their livelihood
the same a. other men; when the judges of our
civil courts shall be made the judges Of Indian
wrongs and outrages, then Ind ian agencies and
talks about reservations will cease, and the In
dian brave will become a peaceable Indian.
work, and they will become peaceable citizens
The American Indians have no more
right to arms, provisions, clothing and reserya-
tons than We have. until they have earned
them And We cannot expect that thew will
earn them as long as they are given them At
present, and under the circumstances, il re-
mains for those who are brought in contact
with them, to teach them their place which
will teach the government lesson as WELL"

II is now related that q preacher OF Decatur,
Illinois, who had been totally blind for sixteen
years and who had appealed in vain to the best
medical talent for relief, finally concluded to
try the efficacy Of prayer. He prayed long and
earnestly, and Gin one moment his sight was
restored to him." brother preacher who tells
the story withholds the mans name, "to save
the feelings Of the family from which il NAV
be inferred that the knowledge that he has re-
covered his sight is very narrowing to their
feelings. This reminds us of a somewhat SINH
lar case which occurred at q camp meeting in
the state of New York a few years ago. Among
the most devout attendants was q young lady
who for over two years had suffered from a pull
monary disease which had deprived her of the
power OF speech except in whispers. During
the progress of one of the evening ser
vices special prayers were offered for the
restoration Of her speech, when the young
lady suddenly arose and rent the air with
loud shouts of thanksgiving for the mira
Gle which had been performed upsn
her. 1t is needless TO say that this startling
episode produced profound sensation, and was
the direct canse of a number of conversions
The officiating clergymen had no hesitation in
pronouncing il a miracle, and used it as q pow
erful illustration Of the efficacy of prayer; but
the physicians, upon being consulted, stated
that similar cases under ordinary circumstances
were not uncommon, and that the cause was
purely physical, and resulted from the rupture,
occasiOned by straining, Of certain abnormal
distractions in the throat. They further said
that the disease with which the young lady was
afflicted was wholly incurable, and that her
death would be FASTENED by the recovery Of her
speech. Whether the theologians or the physi-
clans were right We shall not attempt to decide,
but in less than three months the young lady
slept 'the sleep that knows no waking"

Since the assembling of the civil service adj
yisory board in this city the time has been oc
cupied in an informal discussion relating to the
working Of the new system in the different
departments Of the government. Yesterday
the board commenced the consideration of such
notifications of the civil service rules a expe-
rience has demonstrated to be judicious, and
are called for by the best interests of the gov
eminent Having had a full interchange of
views with the President and the members of
his Cabinet, the board will probably embody in
the notifications such suggestions received
from the former as are not incompatible with
their own convictions in regard to the civil ser
vice. At the late special Cabinet meeting to
consider changes in the rules, several heads of
departments laid particular stress upon the fact
that in examinations for promotions mad
equate weight is given to the recommenaa
ton OF heads of bureaus relative to the eff
cheney of certain competitors. Ii has ALWAYS
been held by most of the heads OF bureaus that
their particular preference should receive special
consideration, and that the party recommended
ythem should start out In a competitive exam
inatiOn from thirty to fifty per cent ahead of
all other competitors. This mode in nine cases
out Of ten would of course result in the success
OF the fayorite of the head of the bureau
Whether such provision in the rules is ad visa
bic or not 1T is 30 strenuously insisted upon that
the Civil Service Advisory Board will doubtless
modify the rules accordingly. They will also
Change the character Of examinations for pro-
motion, making them less scholastic and more
practical This Is sensible modification, and
viii doubtless secure more clerical efficiency
than Is obtainable under present circumstances.
Besides this change, and the establishment of
system OF equitable apportionment of clerks
from the different states and territories, the
board will do but little during its present

Chinese Funeral.

The Sacramento Union gives the fol
lowing description of the funeral of the
wife of rich Chnaman, which recently
took place in that vicinity: " About five
o clock in the afternoon the body, in.
closed in fine coffin, was placed on the
sidewalk in front of her late residence
and by its side were ranged tables loaded
with roast chicken, roast pig, boiled rice
candy, nuts, brandy, whisky, ETC., sulii
cent in quantity to keep the spirit of the
deceased from being hungry for month.
These articles and the coffin remained
on the sidewalk until late the next fore
noon, surrounded by paid mourners, who
seemed to be carrying on a lively com
petition in the matter of giving full value
for the money received. At the ceme-
terry, after the coffin had been lowered,
hired mourners and the two children of
the deceased walked round the grave
once, while the husband remained stand
ing silently by. Then vessels contain
ing food we're put in the grave at the
head and foot of the coffin, followed by
small quantity of earth. Next to put in
were live chickens and ducks, and these
were promptly covered with earth. The
grave having been filed up, brandy and
whisky we're sprinkled upon it in lib
eral manner, while a pigs head, roast
boiled rice, oranges, apples,
nuts, candy, etc., we're laid upon the
mound. The ceremony being concluded,

Thomas Briggs, Of Detroit, has boy
baby, about ten months old, who is ad
mitted at the beginning Of this article
10 look just like his father, aud 10 be IN,
smartest baby.boy OF his age in Detroit
The other morning the child was sitting
on the tioer, playing with five or siN
coat-buttons on a string, and taking an
occasional nibble at an apple 10 bring
out his first crop Of teeth. Mrs. Briggs
and neighbor we're talking away, as
only women can gossip, when the baby
hid the buttons under a mat and started
to finish the apple. A bit Of the skin
got in his throat, and he gave a cough
and whoop, and paved the air and
rolled over on his head.
oh, them buttonsl He has swal-
lowed them buttons" cried the mother,
as she yanked him up and shook him.
Pound him on the back" yelled the
other woman, trying to hold the baby s
legs still.
Run for the neighborsl' cried Mrs.
Briggs.
"0h, he'll die he'll dieW screamed
the other, as she ran out.
And the neighbors came in, and made
him lay on his stomach, and cough, and
then turned him on his back, and rub
bed his stomach, and logged him about
all sorts of ways, until he got mad and
went to bowling. Then the boy ran for
Briggs, and Briggs ran for the doctor,
and the doctor came and choked the
baby, and ordered sweet oil and a mus
tard plaster, and told them to hold him
on his back.
Everybody knew that those six but
tons were lodged in the babys throat,
because he was red in the face, and be-
cause he strsngled as he howled and
wept. They poured down sweet oil, and
put mustard across him, and wept over
him, and his mother said she could
never forgive herself.
Boys drove by, calling: Slab.wood
for sale and the scissors man went by,
shouting: "Sharpl sharp" but that
crowd held the baby down,
and shed their tears over his whole
length.
The doctor was looking serious, and
Briggs was thinking that he hadn't done
anything to deserve such a blow when
one of the women pushed the mat, and
discovered the buttons. Then every
body laughed, and danced, and kicked !
he sweet-oil bottle under the bed, threw
he mustard plaster at the doctor, and
Mrs. Briggs hugged the bowling angel to
Ter bosom, aud called him her "wopsy
opsy hopsy dropsy popsy little cherub. "
