THE LONG AGO.
BY GAYLORD J. CLARKE.

Oh! wonderful stream is the river time, As it runs through the realms of tears, | With a faultless rythm and a musical
 rhyme, And a broader sweep, and surge sublime, And blends with the ocean of years. How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
 And the summer like buds between, And the year in the sheaf-sO they come On the rivers breast, with t. ebb and
 flow,
 As il glides in the shadow and sheen. There is a magical Isle up the river Time, Where the sOftest Of airs arc playing. There's a cl0udless sky and tropical
 cline.
 And the JDues with the loses are staying And the name of this Isle is The Long Ago, And we bury our treasures there; There are brOws of beauty and bOsOms of There are heaps of dust, but we loved
 them so!
 There are trinkets and tresses ot hair. There are fragments of song that nobody
 sings,
 Ano part of an infants prayer; There's lute unswept, and harp with
 out strings, There are broken vows, and pieces of
 rings
 And the garments that she used to wear. There are hands that are waved when the
 fairy shore
 By the mirage is lifted in air; And we sometimes hear, through the
 turbulent roar, Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
 before
 When the wind down the river is fair. Oh remembered for aye be the blessed
 Isle,
 All the day of life till night When the evening comes with its beauti-
 ful smile, And our eyes are closing to slumber while, May that Greenwood" of soul be in
 sight.

than by existing laws they enjoy. My judgment is that if henceforth there are to be no superintendents, the agents, even under the supervision of the proposed inspectors, must be given additional powers, and many of them.
 And here let me say 1 do not mean to be understood as opposing the ap- pointment of inspectors. If honest, intelligent business men are appointed, not men simply good and yet wholly destitute of practical ideas, not men friendly to the Indian and utterly in-

proposed law, will be task which no five men, however active and per- severing, can well carry out.
 Here the hammer fell.
 MT. Sargent. There are no super intendents now in Indaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, or New York. In all these Territories and States we get along admirably without superin- tendents. There are superintendents in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Arizona, and New Mexico, besides the northern and central su- perintendency. There may be some thing in the suggestion of the gentle man from Arizona MT. Mccormick l that five men cannot efficiently per form the inspection required under this proposition and I do not know but that the number ought to be increased to seven.
 MT. Garfield, of Ohio. I suggest to my colleague on the committee Mir. Sargent to make that modification now.
 MT. Sargent. think it would be very much better to let the question be considered by the conferees whether five or seven of these inspectors are necessary. prefer that there should be DO more than five, if we can get along with that number but if, in the judgment of the conferees, seven should be necessary, 1 shall ask, when the bill comes back, that seven be fixed as the number.
 The ultimate conclusion of the con- ference committee to whom the mat ter was referred, was to retain four Superintendents and provide for five Inspectors.

sickness prevailing among them. They receive all the rations due them, but still are not satisfied. The cor respondent thinks change of agents contributed somewhat to their dis content.
 There is one fact noticed by all the whites at the post, viz: The Apaches appear to have more firearms and more ammunition now than ever before. Where do they get these arms? is @ question daily talked over here, but none can certainly answer it; but the opinion of all here is that they buy them of Mexican traders from New Mexico The correspondent suggests summary hanging to stop this trade, but before the hanging begins, we think the real guilty parties shonld be known. -
 The new agent keeps a guard of soldiers at the agency buildings. It. F. K. Upham is quarteramster here, and expects to be absent a short time while taking Mrs. Upham to Santa Fe on her way to the States. The Lieutenant is good officer, and gov- ernment could not find one who would look better to the public interests than he does. First Lieutenant W. c. Manning now commands the post Captain Randall Is expected In from his scout about the 20th instant. First Lieutenant Garley is commanding cavalry company here, and was re gently on 8 scout when he made seY- eral good Indians. No one has yet come to relieve Dr. M. Soule who IS still here 1lr. c. E. Cooley will soon start for Tucson; and propaol It. Garvey and MT. Conley will leave for there in few days.
 We have post-office here now but no postal service. Service should be esta blished between here and Fort Wingate, not only for military and citizens here, but for citizens on the Little Colorado.

MATTERS AT CAMP APACHE,

We have letter before us written at Apache March s, from which we condense as follows:
 The Indians seem demoralized dur ing the past few weeks, and have made attempts to kill persons at this post. One did shoot Edward Renner (brewer). The ball entered the right side and passed through the right arm above the elbow. It was found and taken from near the spine by Dr. Soule, who thinks the patient may recover although the wound Is very dangerous. The right arm must be be paIalyzed for a long time. if not for life
 The Indians are getting uneasy and somewhat dissatisfied. The principal cause 0f this, is the great extent ot

be.
 Gentlemen sitting near me suggest that there are certain superintendencies which possibly may safely be abol- ished but it seems to me hazardous to adopt so radical and sweeping a measure as that now suggested, even if it does come from the peace com missioners. The House ought to re- alize the full scope of the proposition before approving it. If it be adopted, then, in the matter of contracts and in a thousand and one matters now referred to the superintendents, the communication must be directly from the agents to the Indian department here, or to the visiting inspectors. These inspectors will not, think, be able to visit all the agencies within each year, certainly not twice each year. I do not believe any five men in the United States can do so, and make the investigations such as are contemplated by the amendment now under consideration, and such as will be of value. In my opinion, there should be at least seven, and perhaps ten, of these inspectors, and their con- pensation should be much more than that proposed I find by statement iu the bill before us that there are now seveuty-one agencies under the Indian Office, and the number is quite

but fair, sensible, impartial, upright men, who can hear both sides of a
 question and decide without prejudice, l think they may do much to see that the agents are faithful, and that the appropriations of Congress are prop perly expended and the Indians justly
