come and help her to take charge of a
baby. Nobody could recommend one,
and she hardly knew where to look for
the right kind of girl. One day she
was passing through by-lane and saw
little girl with clean apron holding
baby In the doorway of small house.
THAT is the maid for me, said the
lady. She stopped and asked for her
mother. "Mother has gone out to
work." answered the girl. "Father is
dead, and now mother has to do every
thing" "Should you not like to come
and live with me?' asked the lady.
81 should like to help mother some
how" said the little maid. The lady,
more pleased than ever with the tidy
looks of the little girl, went to see her
mother after she came home, and the
end OF it was that the lady took the
maid to live with her, and she found
what, indeed, she expected to find
that the neat appearance of her person
showed the neat and orderly bent OF her
mind. She had no careless habits !;
she was no friend to dirt; but every
thing she had to do with was folded up
and put away, and kept carefully. The
lady finds great comfort in her, and
helps her mother, whose lot is not now
so bad as it was. She smiles when she
says, "Sally's recommendation was her
clean apron" and who will say that it
was not good one?

The Hon. E. p. Smith, Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, has made his report to the
Secretary of the Interior He discerns I'M
mistakable evidences of advancing civiliza-
ton among almost all of the aborigines. At
twenty-one agencies, Indians who. three
years ago, made no effort and showed no IN
clination toward labor or education seem now
to have settled into earnest purpose to
learn to provide for themselves, and adopt q
civilized mode of life.
The Commissioner classifies the Indians
under three heads, for easier reference:
l. Wild; tractsble only to the extent OF be-
ing willing to take raions and blankets from
g. Indians actually undertaking labor, and
rection Of government agents to this end.
g. Indians with landed estates.
The frst class numbers, So, $40; the second,
81, 429; ths third class about 100, 900. There
| is also Fourth class Of warrants, numbering
about 14O00.li This would make q total Of
255, 2A8 Indians now in the United States.
The Indians. Of The frst clsss are ss yet un-
reached by missionary inf1uence, and the

quently forbid their being counted for enrol !.
ment. It IL from these Indians that
any such hostilities are To-, be. uappre-
hended as would require the. sPrssenoe

| 1000 to 10000 of these could be prupefly
designated as hostile, and they are 90 scat
tered and divided into bands that it is not
probable that over 600 wani9rs viii Vver

sioner thinks q general Indian war can never
recur In this country. Even the highly dis
turbed feeling Of the Sioux lately has not led
| to an attempt at war, and military posts have
been successfully established 1T Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail agencies in the face of yio-
lent declarations that no soldiers should ever

turned over 70 the contractors OF The road all the

moneys In procuring the influence OF public officers

defendants deny, claiming that the building OF the
road was contracted for at reasonable prices and
that It's construction carried out in a superior
manner. The plaintiff, IN his allegations, points
particularly to discrepancy existing with regard
10 the outlay III the construction OF the 1rst ass
miles OF the road, which cost $2 900 at govern
ment expense, AS compared with the cost OF con-
structing the remaining 200 miles, at an outlay OF
only about $4,000 200, borne by the defendants.

Police Court yesterday morning and arraigned be-

strangers and also that the assault was unpro
voked, no conversation having taken place before
the stabbng was done. When 0'Nel was brought

tons put TO him. While, on the way TO

mott was likely to die, and he answered that ne
didn't care whether he did or not he had stabbed
him to Kill him. When In court he manifested the
same stubborn disposition and would not answer
any questions. Judge Wanden committed MIN TO
