The Quaker Policy.


The associated executive committee
of friends on Indian affairs, in session
at Lawrence, Kas., having under con-
sideration the present condition of the
agencies under their care, have adopted
the following
While we recognize the exigencies of
the situation in which our agent, John
D. Miles, has been placed, as set forth
in telegram of the 7th inst, sent by
him to the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, and consider that great allowance
is due him under these trying circum-
stances in judging of his course, yet the
conclusion of the committee after hav-
ing given him q full personal hearing
Is that some of his actions and the man
like tenor of the dispatch above re-
ferred to indicate that he is not sufi-
GENTLY in harmony with the principles
upon which our work with the Indians
is based, and hence We kindly request
his resignation. 1t is with great regret
the committee have been forced to the
above conclusion, and they desire in
communicating it TO him to assure him
of their feelings OF personal kindness
toward him.
Information has been received that of
the tribes under their charge a large
portion are In a prospectus condition.
Civil order is well preserved among the
schools, and industrial operations are
1ourishiDg. In the three southwestern
agencies, chiefly owing 10 the intrusion
of white men who kill buffalo, trade in
whisky, and steal horses, some of the
chiefs and song men of few of the
tribes have resolved upon retaliation.
Small war parties have attacked one
train and few rsnches, and the buffalo
hunters in the Panhandle of Texas.
We are hopeful that order and quiet
may soon be restored.

How a Frenchman Does His Fishing.

A Paris correspondent of the New
York Times tells how NJ. de Ia Rue, a
public man of some note in France,
goes fishing at his country place, as
follows:
He has domesticated the cormor-
ant in France. Nothing is more curl
GUS than to see his favorite bird, Old
Tom dive into the Seine at Carbeil and
shoot like an arrow through the WateT
in chase of a fleeing fish. With pa
tience and kindness the cormorant can
be easily trained. Before going out for
sport the birds are left for some hours
without food and they are then taken
to the water where a cord is tied about
the neck loosely in order to prevent the
eOrmcrant from swallowing the fish.
When ready, NJ. De la Rue sets Old
Tom upon the edge of a fat boat, and
he is speedily followed by Young Dick,
who watches every movement Of his
makes a dive, and Dick steps into his
place. II the water is clear, one can
trace Toms rapid movements with the
eye, and watch the sharp turns made
by him and the fish, and the latter
makes frantic efforts to escape. If he
misses his game, Tom comes up look
ing very much ashamed of himself, and
sits upon the fiat while Dick takes a
plunge. If he catches the fish, as is
generally the case, he comes to the
surface and gives it toss into the air,
catching it by the head and letting it
slide down into his pouch, where it is
stopped by the ligature. The bird
makes no opposition when the fish is
taken, and takes its place for another
dive. When the plumage Of the
cormorant becomes saturated with
water he becomes heavy, and then
spreads himself In the sun to dry,
where he must be left in peace. From
time to time a small fish Is given
him TO eat, the ligature being removed
for the PURPOSE

The storr Of Five Aces.

It is a story of five aces, says an ex-
change. It was at the Hot Springs of
| Arkansas, where only gentlemen and
] ladles-not ordinary men and women
| go. Ephraim Taggart, of Mississippi,
/ and Colonel Charles Gordon, of Gal
| weston, Texas, were there, and they
were engaged In a pleasant game Of
cards. Mr.. Taggart lost all his money,
and then, with two aces In his hands.
| put up his watch against $500, and
called. The colonel with much suaviiy.
and like amount of presence of mind,
showed three aces, and Immediately
rsked in the watch. Then for some re-
markable reason, Ephraim Taggart got
angry and sad that there had been
cheating; he never in his life before
knew that a single pack or deck of cards
had five aces. Colonel Gordon had no
time to argue the matter, however.
He could simply see the astonishing
fact that ne had been insulted by the
Mississippian. Most men, it strikes us,
would have stopped to reflect as to how
the extra ace came in tbs miserable
pack. Colonel Gordon merely remarked
that he had been insuited. and drawing
knife stabbed Ephraim Taggart to the
heart, quietly remarking, as he wiped
the blood from his knife, that he guessed
that would sattle it. It was a most dig.
nified argument from beginning to end
on the part of Colonel Gordon. That
excellent man could see nothing, could
listen to nothing but the astounding
fact that his honor, had been in
suited, and could reach no con-
clusion but the one at the point of
his knife-sometimes rudely mentioned
as murder. The refined society at the
Hot Springs quite unTeasonably con-
ceived its.a duty, however, to call up
Col. Gordon at a sort of court-martial
There the colonel stopped to consider
the matter In several of its bearings, and
magnanimously explained. There were
five aces in the pack-that nobody could
deny. But had there never been SINH
lar accidents before? How should he
know that his opponent in the game
held the extra ace He was not a clair
voyant and he did not pretend to any
extra wisdom as TO cards. He was a
gentleman, and he simply knew that his
honor had been at stake. He had play
ed friendly game with Ephraim Tag
CART and that person had charged him
with cheating. What might gentle
man do? His hearers must reflect that
murder was his only refuge from
blasted character. The statement, We
need hardly remark, had its appropriate
effect. The court-martial gently cen
sured Col. Gordon for having been
'overhasty in defending his honor.
and then let him go first, however, we
doubt not, inviting him to a supper
and the next day the body of the too
thoughtless aud unhappy Ephraim Tag
gart was gently laid in the most conve-
nient graveyard. And we shall not visit
the Hot Springs of Arkansas this year.
The weather is too warm and the JOUR
ney too long and dusty.

A Cuban Cafe.

A Havana correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald writes "The best cafes are
located near the Plaza de Armas, among
which is the famous Cafe Dominica,
or in the Louvre, where stands the old
Tacon theatre, and every night these re-
sorts are frequented by large crowds.
It Is a mingliHg of strange characters.
On one occasion seated at a table IN

Gambling Women in England.

Seventy or eighty years ago gambling
was prevalent in English high society.
Our readers generally know perhaps
that Charles James Fox lost his millions
at play, while other distinguished per-
sonages were equally heavy losers.
The women were as infatuated as the
men, and so ne of them actually kept
faro tables. Three of them, Ladies
Buckinghamshire, Archer and Mount
Eugecombe, were particularly notOrius
and were niek-named " "Faro's daugh-
ters." Lord Kenyon said Of them !:
"They think they are two great for the
law. I wish they could be punished.
If any prosecutions of this nature are
fairly brought before me, and the par
ties are justly convicted, whatever be
their rank or station in the country,
though they should be the first ladies
in the land, they should certainly ex-
hibit themselves in the pillory." When
this plain-spoken Judge actually came
to try several aristocratic danes for
keeping gaming tables, he merely pun
ished them by fines. Giilroy, the caricat-
urist, was less sparing, for he depicted
one lady as undergoing a public whip
ping, and represented others as stand
ing in the pillory. In Miss EdgewOrth's 8
novel of " Belinda" !" the blackleg mania
among the fair sex is graphically por-
trayed Playing at cards for moderate
stakes is still much more prevalent than
IN this country, but lady gamesteTs are
much more rare than they formerly
we're. Yet we read that titled lady,
name not given, has recently lost $780,
600 at ecarte, which viii compel her
husband to sell large portion of his
real estate end economize on the cont
nent for some years to come.
