Last night unknown burglars broke
into the residence of Rev. DR.. Laudrum,
No. l6S Wellington street, and carried
off q lot of jewelry and clothing valued
at about $500. The burglars effected an

then forcing them open from the inside.
The robbery was SO adroitly managed

will arrive in reirigerating cars, con-
signed to the popular saloon keepers,
C. Quentel & Son, of the Magnolia Hall,
No. 1902 Main street, opposite the Pea

sold over a counter in Memphis. Owing
to the tremendous run at Quentel's, the
supply gave out for a day or two, but now
perfect arrangements have been made
with the manufacturers and railroads to
deliver any quantity of the famous b.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE


Bureau to the military and let it be taken under
the general administration of the army, governed
and controlled in responsibility of accounts in ac
will thus be humanely and honestly dealt with,
and believe, if this had always been the case,
there would have been but few of-the troubles and
bloody records which have characterized the civil
ization of the Indians in the many years gone by.
In relation to affairs along the Rio Grande Gen.
Sheridan says:
Nearly all the troops in the Department of Tex
as except those along the Rio Grande frontier,
were engaged in this campaign. Those stationed
along the Rio Grande River, the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Mexico have had the
humiiating duty of attempting to protect our cit
liens and their property from raids by people of
foreign country, who come over the boundary in
armed parties to steal CATTLE and do not hesitate to
attack and kill our citizens when necessary to &C
compIish their purpose.
The low stage of waterin the Rio Grande, and
its great length--1 200 or 1900 miles-makes the
duty of protecting it difficult, in fact, almost I'M
possible with the few troops available for the
purpose. In speaking of this duty as humilaf-
ing one do not mean that it is not perfectly le-
gitilnate-for any duty is such which has for its
object the protection of the lives and property OF
the people on an international boundary ine--but
when it is considered that these armed parties as
soon as they are pursued, take refuge on the OPP
posite bank of the river and there, in sight OF our
troops who dare not cross Craze and slaughter the
stolen cattle with impunity, the service is very
notifying to those engaged in the protection of
that frontier. This condition of affairs has been
going on for the lasr twenty years.

The National Grange.
On the last day of its recent session at
Louisville, KY, the National Grange
transacted the following business:

On the last day of its recent session at
Louisville, KY, the National Grange
transacted the following business:
ResoIged, That in the sense of the National
Grange the following suggestions are applicable
to the present wants OF our Order:
AS the closing scenes of this long and laborious
session approach, as the memories of previous
sessions and the many glorious achievements of
the Order return to us, we look forward to the f-
ture. We are deeply impressed with the truth
that we must at all times preserve vital spirit OF
fraternity between Oranges and individual mem
bers of this Order to best maintain It's vlgor, sue
cess and perpetuity. This and the nature OF our
solemn obligations should ever De borne In
mind. We have promised to aid and not injure
our fellow Patrons; therefore, the good name of
brother or sister should be as precious to each
one of us as i. our own. Harshness has no place
in the principles of Order. Its mission is one
of peace, gentleness and goodwill. Therefore, in
the discussion or application of our principles,
we hold that all asperity and violence are out of
place, and should ever be avoided by 0ur mem
bers. We also hold that the Interpretation of any
law of our Order which works manifest injustice
to any member is at fault, and in all applications
of our laws and regulations we should always re-
member that the Grange Il organized for the
comfort convenience, and welfare OF every
worthy member. We trust that our members
everywhere will renew their pledges of fealty to
this noble brotherhood, endeavorlng especially
to live up to the following principles of our dec
laration of purpose, VIZ: We shall constantly
strive to secure entire harmony, goodwill and
vital brotherhood among ourselves and to make
our Order perpetual. We shall earnestly en-
deavor to suppress personal, local., sectional and
national prejudices all unhealthy rivalry, and all
selfish ambition.
These are not idle words, but vital principles
which will give life and permanence to every
Grange throughout the land if our members will
but emulate each other to exemplify them in
their words and actions.
Resolutions were also opted-requir-
ing the Secretary to have printed $4,000
copies of the proceedings of this session,
and send to each State Grange as many
copies as there were subordinate Oranges
July, 1875, under direction of the Execu-
tive Committee, and not less than ten cop
les to each State Grange Master; instruct
ing the Fiscal Agent of the Order in New
York to transfer certain stocks, amount
ing to SIS, 900, to the Executive Commit
tee of the National Grange, to enable that
committee to pay the various donations to
the State Oranges; instructing the Worthy
Master to continue correspondence with
English cooperative societies, extend
ing friendly greeting to all such organi-
cations.

The Closing Funeral Ceremonies.

The last sat rites over the remains of
the late Vice PRECEDENT Henry Wilson
took place at Natick, Mass, on the LIST,
and Notwithstanding the severe cold
weather there was large attendance
At the conclusion of the private service
at his late residence, whittier the body had
been removed the previous day, the re-
mains were taken to the Town Hall, where
the final ceremonies were to take place. A
special train had arrived from Boston
bearing the Governor ard portion of his
staff and several members of the Elk
ecutive Council, a committee OF the
Boston city government, the Hon.
Marshall Wilder, Congressman Henry
Pierce, and officers of the Fifth Maryland
Regiment and of the Independent Corps of
Cadets; also the Boston Fusileers, who
volunteered as the escort for the day.
The Rev. Francis M. Peloubet, MIR.
Wilson's pastor, opened the services at the
hall by reading the hymn: "God is our
Strength beginning with the words,
" Man in his weakness needs stronger
stay than his fellow-men, the hottest and
the best" which was sung by the Alpine
Quartet, of Boston.
Following this was an invocation by the
Rev. A. f. Reynolds, and Scripture read
ing by the Rev. J. s. Wheedon, to which
the response "Ablde with me'' was sung
by the quartet.
The address was delivered by the Rev.
Edmund Douse, of Sherburne, who
mainly touched on his intimate personal
friendship with the deceased and the great
qualities of the latter as displayed IN the
midst of the people who had known and
were intimate with him from his youth.
The quartet then chanted poem writ
ten for the occasion
An address by the Rev. F. M. Peloubet
followed, consisting of personal remlnls-
cences of Mr. Wilson. The hymn,
g Nearer, my God, to Thee, +" which was
an especial favorite with Mr.. Wilson, and
in singing which the entire audience
Joined, was given with great effect.
The procession then formed in line OF
march, embracing nearly every street IN
the town. It was not until four O'Clock
that the hearse bearing the remains
reached the grave in Dell Park Cemetery.
The casket was transferred from the
hearse and conveyed to the side OF the
open grave ready to receive it. The GRAND
Army post formed square about the
crave. while the military escort were
drawn up in line in the driveway The
mourners and invited guests having as
sembled in a body, the band meanwhile
playing solemn dirge, the casket was
gently lowered to its final resting.place.
MIR. Peloubet pronounced the benediction,
relatives and friends took last look,
dropped a few flowers upon the casket lid,
and the last rites attending the demise OF
Henry Wilson, Vice President of the
United States, were at an end.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Smith, in his
annual report. says that the reports OF the Indian
Superintendents and Agents convey unm nm
evidence of year of advance in the civilization of
the Indians. Their testimony lis almost uniform
to the fact that the civilization of the Indians is
not only entirely practicable but fairly under way
Forty-two thousand six hundred and thirty eight
Indians are sef-snpporting. Their corn crop last
year was 2, 200 bushels; potatoes and other
vegetables, $4,000 bushels; fields under cultiva-
ton 323, 900 aeresa larger era by 900 acres than
ever before reported, and nearly 100000 acres more
than in 1871. Nearly 10000 more Indian families
are now living in houses than five years ago. Inc
Commissioner expresses the opinion that a general
Indian will never occurin the United States. In
reference to the Black Hills country the Commits
sioner recommends that legislation be now sought
from CONGRESS offering fair and full equivalent
for the country lying between the North and South
Forks of the Cheyenne River in Dakota. The true
equivalent to be offered the Sioux as helpless
wards of the Government for the Black Hills will
be found by estimating what SOD square miles OF
gold-fields worth to us, and what 5000 square
miles of timber, agricultural and grazing lands are
worth to them. The Commissioner says the need
of the Indian Territory is government OF the
simplest form possible, and suggests that a gov
eminent similar to that provided for the Territory
of the United States northwest of the River Ohio,
preliminary to the organization of a General AS
sembly would be best adapted for that Territory
at present. He recommends that the matter
be again brought before Congress. The Commits
sioner opposes the transfer of the Indian Bureau
to the War Department, but recommends
that the purchasing INSPECTING and trans trans
to subsst the Indians be done by that de-
partment The Commissioner speaks in the
highest terms of the aid afforded by the different
religious bodies of the country and earnestly
hopes that Congress will remove the difficulties
which have heretofore been experienced in procur-
ing the enactment of laws and necessary appro-
priations for the training and education of the In
dams. None but the very best men, he says,
should be appointed as Agents. and he expresses q
to call upon the religious bodies of the country to
name the men, 1t is not expected that deficiency 1y
for this year will arise exceeding 100000
except the wilder tribes will steadily de-
crease from this time until they cease to be
burden to the Government. 1t is not improba-
will be required in bringing the wilder tribes into
the beginning of civilization as will make the to-
tails of the appropriations for three or four years to
come equal to those of the last three years, and
perhaps greater.

Advice of Postoffice Clerk.

for wears held responsible position IN
the newspaper department of the Chicago
Postoffice. furnishes the following valu-
able hints for the benefit of those who
NAV design using Uncle Sans mails to
convey Christmas or other presents 10
absent friends:
It is an old story, told and told again,
but for all that my observation leacs me
to know that it has been told to very little
purpose You are going to mail some
friend q Christmas present; very good;
This is commendable, but don't choose
any frail articles liable to injure other
Matchmaker by being broken, for, however
we'll secured, the enormous pressure mail
baos are subjected to will crush them. Be-
sides, it is not lawful. Any other article
that will weigh less than four pounds, tie
securely with strong urine mot thread, as
many do), in good stout paper-or strong
box-in such manner that the Postoffice
clerk may examine without destroying
the wrapper; you need not expose the
goods-only leave it SO that 1T can De
readily opened. Do not write on tnaI
little mitten, g For Charley" or on the
pin-cushion, "To Emma" or upon the
cover of your box, g A Merry Christmas
from Mother" or in that book, . Chflst-
mas from Pa If you do. you will cause
your friend to pay letter postage, and oc-
casion bad feelings all around. DOM
think that you can write a line and hide It
away in this book, or that cover, for tell
YOU those boys are sharp, and will find it,
no matter how cleverly concealed. Next
comes the address; write this with INK
plainly; if you cannot do this, ask some
friend to do it for you, in form as fol-
lows:

known, and if to the care of any other
party, so write plainly at the left of the
address.
Now many will add to this, thinking to
assist the Postoffice clerk and prevent eX-
animation, the words: g a Book," g Mer-
chandise,n g No Writing" or, Return if
not called for to -" Yes, you do as
sist the clerk by doing this, for it saves
him the trouble of an examination. He
Immediately charges it letter postage, as
the law compels him to do; so, my friend,
don't do it..
Now, weigh your package, and for each
ounce attach one-cent stamp; deliver it
to your Postmaster, and your work is
done, and rightly done. You may rest as
sured that, in the natural course of events,
your friends will be made glad without
annoyance or expense.
You may say that you cannot mail
more than one present at time, as the
friends receiving them could not designate
to whom each article belonged without
previous letter describing each article
sent, thus destroying the pleasurable sur
prise so desirable. If you will pay par
ticular attention | will tell you how to
overcome this obiection-nay, even add
to the pleasure, as it will open up fond
anticipations. Pin to each article slip
of paper on which is marked number,
having previously written letter, saying
that you have mailed a package and that
No is for ma, No. for pa, No. for
baby, etc., etc. Your friends will receive
the letter and will wonder what Nos. l, 2
or can consist of. Suppose you wish to
inform your friend who sent the present
at the time he received it, then why not
inclose your photograph or one of your
printed cards? These things you may do
lawfully.
/ have endeavored to speak plain and |
trust that all will clearly understand, that
may have less occasion to rate up your
coming Christmas presents-Uncle. Sam
not desiring you to suffer-but law is law.
