THE IyDIly COMMISSIONS REPORT

THE IYDIiN COMMISSIONS REPORT
There il nothing very strpris ng III the re-
port Of the Commissioners who have fnyeStl-
gated the frauds at the Indian Agencies. They
were not expected to see Things in u very bad
light, and they have not disappointed eXpec-
tation. Of course some abuses and a little IN
competency were perceptible IN the Indian
service that might be and il safely admitted.
DIR. Saville, for instance, is rather weak and
Inefficient The Commissioners seem to think
h. might well be thrown overheard. McCann
ard Slayin, contractors, have 30 bad record
that they cannot be defended.
But with few exceptions, according to this
report, all these people that We have heard
about at the Agencies and at Washington were
honest men; their bookkeeping in dealing with
the Indians was a little irregular; Their col
umns Of figures do not exactly balance hui they
are nearly all excellent men at heart including
cspccially that much-abused paragon OF hon
esty, the renowned BUsler. On this topic and
the beef contracts in general there is no room
for doubt; the Commissioners spread their SEN
timcnts over the foOl,cap with an uns'lntod
hand: bright in the colors Of an almost sanity
puIity, Roslcr shines resplehdent through a
score of pages. IT is sad To think, considering
what might have been done for him by sub
stitting the late Chief of the Interior for
Roslcr III this report that The great Secretary
resigned. alas, too soon. Sad indeed, for he *
dismissed with a few brief words Of cOmmcn-
dation, and sinks into insignifcance alongside
Of the incompatible beef contractor.

Senator Conkling's speech at Albany Will
hardly regain for him the influential posi-
ton in national politics which he occupied
when he appeared in the New ork
canvass as the mouthpiece OF an
apparently securely seated administration nor
will it add strength to his party III the
pending campaign. There is little in
this speech which partisans OF less
note have not before said quite
as forciby and with no pelceptblc effect upon
the great mass of voters who lave their faces
set In the direction of Reform, and are not to
be turned from il by sneering criticism of steps
already taken with that object, much less by
faint praise of this Reformer or dsparagement
of that one For once MIR. Conkling evidently
has little faith in his own efforts he merely
talks to I'LL his appointments There in''s: lee

three times that amount.

TRAPPIsT MONAsTERY.-Thes severe Or
der of Trappst Monks has sent an agent to
this country i'm the person of Brother Fran
els de Sales, who has been commissioned
to purchase property in the State of Mary
land, where it is proposed to erect a mon
astery ana furnish it with grounds suffi-
ciently extensive for the pursuits Of agri-
culture, which is an important industry
among the Monks of La Trappe. Two
hundred monks, taken from mOnasteries
in Ireland, France and Turkey, will occu-
py house which Brother Francis de Sales
will temporarily rent, SO that during the
erection of a monastery and the laying out
of the grounds the newly arrived monks
may make themselves familiar with the
customs of the country. They are expect
ed to arrive about December /. The rules
which bind the Trappists are very strin-
gent. Constant silence is one of their vows.
They are permitted to eat no other food
than vegetables and bread, water alone be-
ing allowed for drink. They sleep in their
habit, or gown, on a low pallet, and their
bedroom is a small square Enclosure, form
ed by curtains. The bell ringer arouses
them at two o'clock every morning, and
after the few minutes allowed for their
prayers at waking, another bell bids them
fall into line and move in solemn silence to
their chapel. They toll unremitIingly y
throughout the hours when prayer and
other devotiOns are not in progress. All
the branches of this Brotherhood are self
supporting and sufficient funds will be at
hand to aid Brother Francis de Sales in
his new enterprise. He is very hopeful OF
the success of his undertaking.

To CLOSE cracks in cast-iron stoves
good wood ashes should be sifted
through fine sieve, to which is added
the same quantity of clay finely pull
verized, together with little salt. The
mixture should then be moistened with
water enough so make paste, and the
crack in the stove filled with it, The
cement does not peal off or break away,
and assumes an extreme degree OF
hardness after being heated. The
stove must be cool when the applica-
ton is made. The same substance
NAV be used IN setting the plates of a
stove, or in fitting stove-lipes, serving
to render all the joints perfectly tight.

THE GOLDEN RULE, AND THE RULE OF
GoLD.-A few days ago a gentleman of
this city received by mail a check for five
hundred dollars. He deposited it in his
bank, and went down into the street, there
to be met by rumor that sent him back
in haste. Just twenty-f five minutes had
elapsed. The teller's little door was shut.
The money was gone. Fl ad it been stolen
Was the banker a swindler? No, he had
failed.
About the same time, a merchant leceiv-
ed large quantity of goods one day near
the close of business hours. He made
some common place excuse for not making
i'm mediate payment, and promised to send
a check the next morning. The first an
nouncement of the morning was that he
had failed. He had the goods, but the
real owner was without his check. Was
the merchant thief? Ought he to have
gone to jail? Not at all. He had merely
suspended. He was unable to meet his
obligations.
Two young men were recently brought
| into one of our police courts on a charge of
stealing shoes from Third avenue store.
They were decent in appearance, and it
was believed by some that they had been
driven to crime by want. Had they failed,
or had they suspended? Or was it be-
cause they were unable to meet their OBJ
| legations? Not at all. They were thieves
| common thieves-very common thieves.
| They were sent to the penitentiary for two
years.-N. Y. Tribune.

JHE RELATIVE VALUE OF ra,r

at current prices it would hsrs

corn instead Of hay, or at least h.
more grain and less hav. It's I
the case that the feeder finds h
the winter is half over that he n

kind, and then it becomes a ouzs
for him to decide whether II viii

and feed his hay more srsr-
Many do not seem to realize ths,-

hay TO the advantage of feeder :.
and the manure pile.
Based upon carefully made chez
analysis, we fnd that 50 p1uBfl

If a ton of hay has a Feeling nj

A RoorBI.ACK ApvENTURE.-The Mil
waukee Neps says During slight luil IN
business here yesterday, two little ooot-
blacks: one white and one black, were
standing at the corner of Second and Fran
els streets, doing nothing, when the white
bootblack agreed to black the black ooot.
blacks boots The black bootblack was OF
course willing to have his boots blacked by
his fellow bootbiack, and the bootblack who
had agreed to black the black bootblacks
boots went to work. When the bootblack
had BACKED one of the black bootblack
boots until it shone in a manner that wouid
make any bootblack proud. this little boot
black who had agreed to black the biack
bootblack's boots refused to black until the
black bootblack, who had consented to
have the white bootblack black his boots,
should add five cents to the amount the
white bootblack had made backing other
mems boots. This the bootblack whose
boot had been blacked refused 90 do, say
ing il was good enough for a black boot
black to have one boot blacked, and he
didn't care whether the boot that the boot
black hadn't blacked was blackcd or not:
This made the bootblack who had bfacked
the black bootblack's boot angry, as a
bootblack often gets, and he vented his
black wrath by splitting upon the blacked
boot of the black bootblack. This reused
the latent passions of the black bootblack,
and he proceeded to boot the white boot
black with the boot which the white boot
black had BACKED. A fight then ensued
i'm which the white bootblack, who had re-
fused 70 black the unblacked boot "f the
black bootblack, blacked the black boot
blacks visionary organ, and in which the
black bootblack wore all the backing Off
his BACKED boot in booting the white boot
black. Tue fraternity of bootblacks after
ward convened and denounced the action
of the white and black bootblacks as one
of the blackest in the pages Of bootblack
history.

A PHENOMENON OF FATNEss.-There is
genuine fat phenomenon here, and in a
wilderness of fleshy people it takes some>
thing really wonderful in that line to at.
tract attention. One of the members of
the Association brought into the hall a
12>year old girl, who pulls the scales at
327 pounds. Nature took freak into her
head one day up in Troy township, Wood
county, o., and when Elizabeth Cutchen
was baby commenced to pile flesh upon
her body, until at the present time this 12>
year old girl is of size which would be
considered enormous in woman of 90
She attracts unusual attention, but shows
all the modesty of a backwOods child.
She was allowed to come to the conven~
tion by her parents with the express under
standing that no remuneration should be
given her, and that she should in nowise be
made to feel that her deformity was Of a
n arketabe value. But the fat men, bless
their jolly old souls, got around.that diff

A DEATH DEALING FoUNTAIN.-A let
ter from Waynesburg, Penn, to the Allie
gheny Mail says: On Mellow Ridge, in
this county, about four miles from Jack
town, and on the farm belonging to Henry
Miller, there is what is called the '.gas
spring" This is probably the greatest
curiosity in Pennsylvania. The water is
cold but bubbles and foams as if boiling,
and the greatest wonder is the inevitable
destruction of life produced by inhaling
the gas. No living thing is to be found
within a circuit of 100 yards of the spring.
The very birds if they happen to fly over
it drop dead. We experimental with a
snake of the copper head variety on its
destructive properties by holding it few
feet above the water. 1t stretched dead
in two minutes. 1t will kill a human be-
ing in twenty minutes. We stood over it
five minutes, when dull, heavy, aching
sensation crept over us, and our eyes be-
gan to swim. The gas which escapes
here is of the rankest kind of carbonic acid.
