PETITION FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF The
PRESENT DISTRICT CoMMssIoN.-The follow
ing petition lie in circulation, and Is being nu-
merOusly signed:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives. Of
the United States: We, the subscribers, resident
in the District OF Columbia, do most earnestly
and in good faith ask to have the commission
fer this District continued for q term OF one or
more yesrs, that they may fully complete their
lsbors so we'll ana economically begun. In re-
ference to the bill and report of Senator Nor
rill, reported to the Senate December 7th, 1874,
"For the better government OF the District OF
Columbia" We beg leave TO suggest that IL Is
too voluminous, creating too many boards and
bureaus, multiplying offices, Sc, &c. We de-
sire simplicity and economy in our District
government. Finally, We believe the import
ance OF the bill demands more time and consid-
GRAFTON than IL can receive at the present
"short session" Of Congress, especially in view
OF the multitude of bills and important business
now before Congress; therefore, we desire 10
have action on said bill and report deferred to
a more appropriate season or session. and in no
case do We desire any demoralizing District
elections.

THE EXTRACTION OF INDIGO.

The Tour da Monde gives some details rela-
tive to the proceedings employed in the extrat.
ton of indigo in India: isThe valuable tinctorial
matter is furnished by the young shoots, and
not by the flower, as is generally believed. The
gathering of them is delicate operation, and
when they have attained their desired growth
they must be removed at once, and in the
night, for the sun would wlther the little
branches and deprive them of their qualities.
Consequently many hands are required, and all
the villagers on the domain are called into
requisition. The laborers are dispersed in the
fields at about midnight, and in the morning
the produce is placed In stone troughs, previ-
ously filed with water. The sun is In its turn
called on to d. its work, and under the inhu-
ence of its rays those matters enter into sort
of fermentation; the water becomes irridescent
and turns blue rapidly. AMER the lapse of
about forty-eight hours the liquid is drawn of
into smaller receptacles. 1t then gives of q
slightly ammoniacal smell, and is almost black
in color. IL is allowed to eyaporate still more,
then placed in metallic watts, warmed by steam,
and in which, the evaporation is terminated, it
forms deposit of pure indigo. All that has
to be further done is to pack it up and send it
to the Calcutta market.

a RARE PREDIeAKEyT.

Yesterday afternoon, as the 4 O'Clock train
from New Albany to Louisville was leaving
New Albany, thin, spare man, carrying a
Spanish hen, with PROFESSIONALLY large comb,
entered a car and took seat, laying the hen
across his knees, and holding her SO that any
unseemly conduct on her part might be instant
ly suppressed. She had sulky look, but she
kept quiet, and the thin, spare man was soon
gazing abstractedly from the car window, for
getting apparently all about her. Now was the
time for the spiteful creature to vent her ILL
will. With q silent effort she put forth her
powers, and out fell q clean, fresh egg, drop
ping upon the soft cushion Of the seat, and CIV
ing back no sounde but quite in view OF num-
Der of fun-loying passengers. Considerable
giggling ensued, which was all the more diff
cult to suppress because the man had not OBJ
served what had happened. A lady at length
called his attention to the egg. He looked
little astonished, but, without losing his self
command, he picked up the deposit and good
humoredly held 1t so that every one in the car
could see It. The hen, as if conscious of her
misbehavior and bad temper, refrained entirely
from ''eut-cut=ca-dsting over the achievement.

"A ~ vo,bDAn bSd Il m.ot as four or five bus

can women had As many as four or Eve hus-
bonds.
.sDo they poison their husbands to be able tS
have new onesl" said she.
I told her no; that they had four or FIVE hus
bands all alive ct the same time, but did moi
enlighten her on the subject Of divorce.
She was so astonished that she had to tell al
the women that American women had as many
husbands as they wanted, and then asked Il
they bought them. / told her some of then
did, but that the most of the women who goi
was hardly appreciated by these women, who
have, IT occurs to me, no sense Of humor; but
was besieged with questions from all sides a
to the plurality of husbands, and was glad tc
get dressed and away from them.

We HAVE had another Indian fight on the
Texas frontier and our trophies are ga bloody
trail and war-bonnet." A few days ago we
captured a young squaw's scalp with ear and
silver pendant attachment. "War-bonnet "
seems to have feminine significance, and we
congratulate the country on the fall of another
of these dusky maidens before the proves of

The beauties, natural and manufactured, re-
garded themselves in their hand-glasses with
evident satisfaction, and each other with con-
tempt. Some of them, who were quite plain in
the water, became beautiful after the opera
ton was complete. Their luxuriant hair was
in general braided and loaded with profusion
Of ornaments, not excepting diamond stars and
other jewels, and sometimes with long strings
of gold coin, plated in, which jingled with every
motion. 1t was novel sight to see these wo-
men all sitting about on little stools with their
ancient hand-maidens, all submitting to these
intricaciss of toilet that are kept so secret by
more civilized women, all seeming here to be a
