STARVING INDIANS.
The sufIsrings of the ArraPahOes at
RED Cloud.
80 ctr

A'h0 SO'' RED Cio2d.
A correspondent of the Denver story
at Red Cloud agency, tells this News,
about the starving Arrapahoes
" Within two miles of the military
post of Camp Robinson is a village of
about 200 lodges of Arrapahoes. These
Indians are quiet, peaceable poorly
armed, and have only few ponies. As
this country Is destitute of game, they
are entirely dependent for food on the
agency here. They are supposed to
receive, every tenth day, ratons of
pork, flour, coffee, sugar and tobacco.
They have not received any rations
since May so, the issue that day con-
sisting of salt pork and tobacco, both
of decidedly inferior quality, and, /
am told by the Indians, One-third the
usual ratiOns. The same day they re-
ceived a few small steers, the first In
twenty days. They are thronging the
post and cavalry camp here, begging
for bread. meat, or any article of food.
Men and women visit the back-yards
and slop- barrels, and eat with avidity
such scraps as they can gather. For
three successive days have seen them
around pit into which my cook throws
the refuse of his kitchen, fishing out
bacon rinds, potato parings, dry crusts
of bread, old bones-anything that can
be eaten.
$50 they are come to starve. The
children are perfect little skeletons.
arms and legs like pipe-stems, and
faces bony, gaunt and old looking, with
an ashy, unnatural complexion that a
once attracts attention. A woman had
one of them, little three-year-old half
breed child, with lovely brown eyes,
light hair, and talr complexion, at the
post to-day, trying to trade him off fol
a sack of -four. Now, somebody is Ger
tainly to blame for this state of affairs.
Somebody is responsible for the starv-
ing of these people. They have sub
mitted to the authority of the govern
ment, and this is their reward. Whc
can blame them If, starved into desper
alton, they leave their reservation, xii
cattle that do not belong to them, and
shoot a man who resists them

d" TEMPERED " Glass.

Varied as will be its application for
scientific and industrial uses, its utility
for domestic purposes will be consider
able. It will be a boon to the careful
housewife; besides its utility for all
articles OF common household crockery,
china, hot water, and washing appara-
tus, M. de la Bastie's invention will in
future relieve her mind of all anxiety
regarding her most favorite china and
glass, for, if &c tempered" by this pro-
cess, they will be proof against the
carelessness of the most careless ser
wants. To give an illustration.
Amongst several articles which we in
spected and tried one, which appeared
to us to be a common china plate,
turned out to be of the tempered glass
enamelled on the top. It was thrown
on the floor, gave forth a bell-like
sound, but did not break. In fact, it
nay be thrown about anyhow without
breaking. A square piece of glass
abOut one-eighth of an inch IN thick
ness was put into a wooden frame, rest
ing only with its sides on the latter, and
we were surprised to find that it sus-
tanned the weight of an adult man.
Chimney-glasses and globes will fly
directly If the gas Is turned on too sud
denly on lighting up tempered glass
will stand any sudden changes. 1t is
even stated that pipes made o. this
glass will Withstand the greatest press
ure, and that it would be worth while
trying it for water-pipes. If 1t were
once established to be proof against
frost what discomfort would be spared
the householder of London, who looks,
at the breaking up of frost, for the
bursting of his water-pipes and its con-
comitant misery, as regularly as to
the non appearance of watering carts
when an east or north wind is binding
him with dust. We should not omit to
mention that there is a great probability
of the efficiency and durability OF the
new glass being put to q severe test.
We are informed that there Is some
prospect of its being used for the large
tanks of the new Westminster aquarium,
now in course of erection. The glass
plates forming the sides of the tanks
are, of necessity, of such an enormous
| thickness, to insure safety, which is not
always obtainable, as to make their con
struction very expensive. Glass tenn
pered by NJ. de la Bastie's process, it is
| stated, need only be of q quarter the
| thickness of ordinary plate glass used
/ for that purpose, and even shen resist
any possible amount of lateral pressure.
If you are we'll, let yourself alone.
| One Of the great errors of the age is, we
medieate the body too much. More
persons are destroyed by eating too
much. Giuttony kills more than drunk
enness in civilized society. The best
gymnasium is a wood yard, clearing,
or a corn deld. A hearty laugh is known,
the world over, to be health promoter;

COFFEE AS A DIsIEFEcTANT.-Ex

stated that a room in which meat in an
advanced state of decomposition has
been kept for some time, was instantly
deprived of all smell on an open coffee
roaster being carried through it, con-
tanning pound of Office newly roasted.
In another room, exposed to the efhu-
vium oecasioued by the clearing ont q
manure pit, so that sulphuretted hydro
gen and ammonia IN great quantities
could be chemically detected, the stencil
was completely removed In half a
minute, on the employment of three
ounces of fresh roasted coffee, while
the other parts of the house were per
manently cleared of the same smell by
being simply traversed with the coffee
rosster although the cleansing of the
pit continued for several hours after.

disinfectant is to draw the raw bean

THE Texans of the border will GER

Mexicans on the Rio Grande are at
loggerheads about the arrest and incar-
ceration of Oortina. The dispatches
indicate high degree of excitemenb in
Matamoras, which doubtless extends
measurably throughout the state of
TamauIpas. The capture of their
leader is regarded rs an undue inter
ruption TO their smuggling operations
by the people of Matamoras and vicin-
ity, and President Lerdo evidently has
an insurrection on his hands which will
require the presence of more troops.
Matamoras, where the troubles now
center, is Immediately opposite Browns
vile, Texas, and contains a population
of about 10000 AS an effort will be
made to carry Cortina to Vera Cruz, a
conflict between the citizens and the
Mexican troops is probable.

A SPIRITUALJsTIC INVESTIGATION
The spiritualstic phenomena are to be
thoroughly inves tigated in st. Peters
burg by special committee of scientists
appointed by the Imperial university
under the presidency of Professor Men
deleyeff In order TO have the tests
thorough representative American medi-
ums are to be invited thither at the
expense of the university, they making
their own terms. The Investigations
Will take place twice a week, and for a
period of not less than SIX months. The
Countess Blavatsky has been commits
stoned by Counsellor A n. Aksakof to
select these mediums, and Colonel
Henry 8. Olcott to aid therein. Coun

and spring. Let us hope that DR.. Slade,
the Eddys, Mrs. Cora Tappan, and the
Holmeses Will be induced to emigrate
"for their country's good and, per
haps, for mankind's. Only genuine
mediums, however, are to be chosen.

The postoffice department is much
pleased with the system of demanding
the prepayment of newspaper postage,
and will, at the beginning of the neSt
congress, at once endeaver to secure
the repeal of the law in relation to
postage on transient matter in the
mails. The law regulating the pay
ment of postage, will, however, be re-
tanned. 1t has been found that, al
though the rate has been reduced, tho
department now receives as much as it
did when it had higher rate, but col
lected the postage at the Office of de-
livery, which leads to the melancholy
conclusion that some of the postnas-
ters are not as pure and honest in the
discharge of their duty as they should
be.

THE San Francisco Chronicle predicts
a heavy italian immigration into the
United States, and consequent access
sion to the number of organ grinders
and plaster-cast vendors. Hitherto the
Italians have been pouring into Uruguay
and the Argentine Republic, tine italian
population there now numbering balf
million souls, and constituting the chief
business element. The unsettled state
OF affairs, however, in these countries,
has led the emigrants to turn their at
teution to the United States. And the
Chronicle cites the fact that an Italian
agent has recently been buying large
tracts of land in California for his coun-
trymen to settle upon during this year.

FRENCH journalists maintain that
England must raise bigger army If
she wants to exert any influence in
European affairs. A hundred thousand
regular troops are a mere bagatelle
compared with the immense armies of
the present day. England is too near

ferent to complications in European
politics.
