A GENEROUS OFFER.-We see that
Messrs. Hopkins & Reynolds, pub
fishers of THE AMERICAN RURAL
HOME, Rochester. New York, offer
their beautiful paper from April LIST
to next January-nine full months,
including thirty-nine weekly issues
for only one dollar, postpaid. This
is lower than even their club rates,
and can scarcely cover cost of the
fine white paper alone. We suppose
the offer is made to meet the exigen-
cices of these unusually hard times,
and we are sure it is extremely liber-
al. There is no more valuable Farm
and Family journal than the Rural
Home, as is there none other SO
handsome. 1t is edited by men who
know what the practical wants of
the farmer are, and who have like
wise a happy knack at catering for
the farmers family ina literary way.
Having paid for your local paper, You
can not do better than send Messrs.
H. & r. a dollar for their model sheet.

in progress at the agency.
and Of which we yesterday gave lengthy
version, As derived from Bro. Gonzague
and four other leading chiefs, and seems
to confirm in its essential features the
statements Of the latter. It will be seen
that the chief with whom the interview
was held has been recommended
by Rev. Commissioner Smith las an in
dustrious and peaceable citizen, doing all
in his power to civillze his tribe and
with this recommendation, it can scarce
~ be urged that he is inimical to the
powers that be at the agency, and that
for this reason his declarations are entl-
tied to no weight, and utterly untrust-
worthy. The following is the Records
account Of the interview:
Pa-kin-e-wash, chief Of the Mississippi band
of Chippewas-now living st White Earth
Reservation, called at our sanctum on Wed
nesday Of this week, and from our conversation
with him we find him to be . very intelligent
gentleman, and have NO doubt that the blood
Of the Princes flows through his veins. He is
missioner Smith, as an industrious and peace
able citizen, doing all in his power TO civilize
his tribe.
Question. Are you satisfied with the pres
ent management Of the reservation9
Ans. Carw1n, the present agent, is not fit
or capable Of manage 1g our affairs.
@. In his management OF the agency, do
you believe him to be honestY
Ans. He may be honest, but he has never
fulfilled any of his promises to us,-we do not
trust him, we do not believe him.
@. Have any of your supplies been mis-
appropriated to your knowledgee
A. 1t is only the Protestants that receive
any Leneft from the agency. He has cut off
the Catholics altogether, and does everything
he can to injure them.
@. Are the Indians industrious and are
they becoming civilized?
Ans The Indians are very industrious and
are doing all they can to civilize themselves
and are trying to live like white men, but we
are swindled and cheated at every turn, and
prosecuted on account of our religion. Last
year sowed four acres to wheat and
according to the white mans es-
innate ought to have received, 80
bushels from the government threshers, hut
only got forty. This year have twelve acres
into wheat and it has been ripe for two weeks,
but cannot get it cut according to promise.
ALI the Indians ask Is, that whoever has
charge OF them shall lie honest and not make
promises that they never intend to fulfill.

The sumnyside Disaster.

Relatives of some of the lost passengers of the wrecked Hudson river steamer Sun ny Side having begun suits for damages against the company owning the steamer, the officials of the latter give notice that their defense will be that the loss of life occurred solely through the action of pas sengess, and not by any fault of the com pany, aud they make some grave charges in this correction. They cay that every soul on board obeyed the summons to turn out of their state rooms except peddler named Platski, who refused and was drowned in his room, and who had $s, COG worth of jewelry with him that after the bleaching of the steamer the women were all safely placed in the quarterback, and i, was successfully hoated, laden as full as it safely could be, when five negro walters and nine other men, passengers, jumped into the boat m spite of all opposition and cspsized it, and there is every evidence that one of the men put his hand on Mrs. Hay wards head, as she clung to him in the wa ter, and showed her down, when he might easily have saved her, being . good swim mer. ......a, s, ..sa

Back in the dim remembrances of child. hood we call to mind day when to the home of bevy of little girls-our school. fellows-came new mother No doubt somewhat grim vision arose to our child ish fancy, conjured up by nursery tradition and idle tale; and perhaps we looked lit- tie sskance at the diminutive form, despite the sweet face of mature womanhood which met our curious, iLquiring gaze. Years have come and gone since then how reads the tale 2. Entrenched in those young hearts, permeating their ardent na- lures with the guileless gentleness of her own. she led them faithfully on oyer the rough and smooth places of their life, and as in the course of the family history oth- CTS became allied to the household group, her's was that double elective power of a loving, self-abnegating nature which brought these separate elements into a per feet unity. She decked them for their bri- dal and thelr bier. The tale is ended.
 She has glorified the office of the step- mother. Henceforth let her name be en- shrined and sYmbolized in the lovely, deli cate flower the German knows as the stief- naattter
 , The old chants of the church pealed forth on the still air of last Sunday morning as her soul seemed already, silently stealing forth from the shattered, dismantled wreck of its aeshly temple. Perhaps in the Tn. tense consciousness of that supreme mo- meat, lying under the very shadows of the vaulted roof. she caught and half mingled these blessed cadences with sights and sounds from the inviting, restful cities of Paradise.

Dangers 0f Coal Gas.

Tho Pittsfeld Eagle says MT. and Mrs. Edward Parsons of Lenox passed through

 They retired as usual on Saturday even. ing. and as usual the sleep of the just fell upon them. Towards morning Mrs. Par. sons awoke and found herself almost suffo cated, barely able to draw feeble breath, and suffering from terrible nausea. She was almost speeches. and too nearly dead to raise any alarm or make any demonstraS tions of her agony. She managed howev- CT, after desperate effort, to get out of bed, falling to the floor in the attempt She crept toward shelf where bottle of cam. phor was kept, intending to get the medi- cine if possible and see if it would not re- wye her. Az she made her slow and pain full way through the darkness she found her husband upon the floor suffering like herself. He had awakened with the same feelings of suffocation and sickness, and like her had thought of the camphor, and by actually throwing himself out of bed to the floor, for he was unable to rise up and walk, he had succeeded In getting the med- icine. They bathed their faces and inhaled the camphor, and hoped to get relief, but got little or none. Their distress seemed to increase, and death secrLed near and inev- itable. Coming to this conclusion, they resolved to get back into bed and die to- gether there. MT. Parsons then crept to the front door. reached up and unlocked it, SO that any neighbor who chanced to come to the house would have no difficulty in. getting in. after which the stricken couple with much struggling and pain managed to reach their bed. s-.s s'
 They hardly know how long they law waiting for death to come, and experien- cling the most intense suffering, before morning dawned and footstep was heard outside.

Parsons was utterly unable to call out to him, but he succeeded by signs and motions in making thefriend come to him and thus their illness was made known, rel atives were summoned, the necessary resto- ratiyes applied and the lives which had nearly gone out were revived.
 The mystery of their sufferings was known immediately to those who first en- tered the house. They found that in ar ranging their base burning stove for the, night they had made some mistake about the Hampers. and that the gas, instead of being carried off by the fues had been es- caping into the room all night. When they never detected the smell of the gas, and had not the slightest idea what ailed them. An hour or two more of inhaling this gas must have caused their death; as it was, their escape was very narrow one, and will be warning to all who have stoves that can by any possible accident imperil life.S

But for those who desire an almost perfect climate, and freedom from tho easterlY winds of the Atlantic, arc wiling to stay awhile, and wish to live out of doors, this is the place. HOW TO GET THzRB. s
 [After 8 perusal of Mr. Collins' very in- teresting description of this delightful country, to which great numbers are now fleeing to escape the rigors of our New England winter, word as to the most de- sirable route to reach that sunny cline may not be out of place. It appears there are various routes, but that which seems to us the best. all things considered, is that known as the Florida Steamship Line. of which MT. Herm. Gelpcke. of No. William St., New York, is the agent. We do not say this because the advertisement of that line appears m THE NEWS this week, but be. cause it is the decision we have arrived at after an examination into the desirable and undesirable features of the others. The route mentioned Is the only one by which you can reach Florida without change. A passenger enters his state room in New York and does not leave 1t till he arrives at Fernandina in Florida, while by all other routes. the journey is fraught with changes. If by all rail, the changes are almost with out number, and by other steamship routes, changes to smaller steamers farther down the coast, and to railroads, are frequent and unpleasant to passenger, as well as to his baggage. The steamers of the through Florida Line stop at Port Royal, South Car olina, for twelve hours, and passengers have an opportunity to go ashore and get rested; to lock their state room doors and take stroll about the country. They can visit Beaufort for few hours, and get al general idea of the way they do things there. Altogether, this short stop off must be very refreshing. and then return to the steamship and resume the journey of 6 day to Fernandina in Florida. With the above features in favor of the through Florida Line, we are led to pronounce it, in our opinion, the most desirable. e.-ED. NRws Il
