Gen. Custer is not only brave officer and
a successful explorer, but evidently discreet
soldier as we'll. AS our letter from the Ex-
petition shows the General and his very
respectable little army protected the inmates
of petty Indian village as carefully as if
they had been perSonages of State, and
treated the head of force of five Sioux with
as much consideration and kindness as If he
led a whole tribe in war-paint and feathers
No doubt there are surprises and decoys to
he looked out for, and Gen. Clusters con-
ciliatory bearing had frontier wisdom in it /;
but if every military commander had shown
himself as much an exponent of true peace
policy, the probability is that Indian troubles
would have been less frequent and less
bloody

SHADE TREES, the successful grow
iny of which in Carson has been SO well
demonstrated, and the beautiful effect
of which is already illustrated, have be-
come An object of the first consideration
to those who commence building house
for themselves. In most instances now.
the first thing done is to set out trees,
frequently two rows Of them, around the
building ground. Their value is appre-
ciated by dealers in town lots, and they,
too, are planting trees on the lands
owned BY them, confident that the eX-
pense attendant thereon is one of the
best investments they can make. PROB
ably ten times as many trees Will he
planted in Carson this year as in any
previous one since the location of the
town site While the cottonwood IS
Still in great demand. on account Of Its
rapid growth, citizens are seeking other
varieties; among them the elm is much
sought for. The soft maple, too. is be
ing tried by number OF residents.

found in the answer Of Bogus Charley and
Shack Nasty Jim to question we put to
them. Having said, as they were well
fed and cared for now, they would rather
remain where they are than return to
their own country, we asked them why

The Big Gun.

The manufacture of the eighty-on
ton gun at the Royal Gun Factories in
the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, is slow
ly progressing, and every step in its
growth is watched with considerable
interest. The largest of its coils, ex-
cept one, was welded under the great
steam hammer recently, and afforded a
very interesting sight to large number
of spectators. This coil weighs nearly
twenty-six tons, but it was manipulated
with the greatest ease by the expert
forgemen of the Royal Gun Factories,
although it was larger by five tons than
any coil that has ever been made. An
other, nearly double the size will, how
ever, have to be prepared for the same
gun, and some special machinery is be-
/ ing constructed for its manufacture =
The progress of the gun has in like
manner necessitated alterations of tht
plan in most of the workshops of th'
department The lathe in which the
steel tube is. being bored has had it
head carried about ten feet through tn
wall into the next shop, being 80 mucl
longer than any tube which has prevl
ously passed through the boring mills
Its length is nearly twenty-five feet, an
its weight about sixteen tons. At tn
first boring rough cut of eighteen il
ches is to be taken out, the caliber b'
ing enlarged by subsequent cuts Of ele'
J en-, thirteen and fourteen inches.

NegotIations with spain.

1t has been ascertained from reliable
sources that Spain, instead OF carrying
into effect the understanding of tie
Fish Polo protocol, namely: to investi-
gate the conduct of those of its author
tiles who have infringed on Spanish
laws or treaty obligations, and to pun
ish those who may have offended, has
made demand of indemnity in the af'
fair of the virglnius, and for other al
legged wrongs suffered by Spain, owing
to filibustering expeditions fitted out in
this country and landing, or attempting
to land, men and munitions of war up
on the Spanish American coast. It
this demand our government has repllee
in firm but courteous terms, asserting
the untenableness of the position OF tn
Spanish government and reminding i
of the remissness and inexcusable de
lay in making reparation for wrong
suffered by American citizens in persol
and property. The latest information
from Minister Gushing, is that he il
still presiding over our demands or
Spain. 1t seems certain that the clause
in the protocol providing the recipro
cal reclamations shall be the subject o
consideration between the two govern
ments, and will not end satisfactorily
in which case it will become the subjet
of arbitration, as per agreement, pre-
vided the constitutional assent of tn
Senate of the United States shall /

wF From recent report on "Yellow
Fever" we learn that this disease has
never "appeared in any climate at the
height of twenty five hundred feet. In
the Island of Dominica a hill top not
more than fifteen hundred feet high is
always healthy, even when the fever is
epidemic at its tase. In San Domingo
similar observations have been made
The highest elevation at which yellow
fever has occurred in the United States
is four hundred and sixty feet, in Ar
kansas; and the medical men of thai
country now hold that the stratum O
air infected by the poison is heavier
than pure air, and therefore sinks, ane
they recommend that, in unhealthy dis
tricts, houses and hospitals should b.
built on tall piles, so as to he above tn
fever stratum. But where hills ar
near, the best remedy will be to carr.
the patients up to height of five hun
dred feet"

EEThe platform of the Ohio Demo
cratic State Convention on the subject of
the currency cannot fail to be gratifying
to the great mass Of the party. 1t has
the courage manfully to demand Of Con-
gress exactly what is demanded by the
welfare of the people-such an amount
of circulating medium as shall prevent
the capitalists from holding death-grip
on the poor and the debtor class.
We are all the more gratified at this re
suit because it was apprehended that
powerful influences would be brought to
bear upon the Convention which it could
not withstand, and that it would be induc
ed to suppress its convictions or conform
Its creed to the policy OF a few OF its
would-be leaders.
But the Democratic party is tue party
of the people, and has again shown it:
fidelity to its mission. II belongs 10 NJ
