Indian, the Indian supplying the agent,
and the agent making remittanccs
East. Complete and harmonious cir
Gle of operations. Here is no compli-
cation Of relations, no balance to trade,
no delicate adjustments; nothing but
a simple process of drawing from the
Treasury in the name Of the untutored
agent. II Is the refinement Of sim
plicity as well as philanthropy. In
such work Orville Grant brother Of
the Great Silent Man, has not shrunk
from engaging. But being man of a
sensitive temperamcntand sympathetic
nature, he has rclraincd from joining
personally in the mournfnl procession
that escorts the Sitting Bull and Shack
nasty Jim TO that mysterious realm
where scalps don't count, and if they
did would only contribute an odor Of
burnt hair; he does not personally sii.

Mans way to dusty death with tallow
candles charged to the government
at fourteen prices. AT two removes
be contemplates in fearful silence the
rapid disappearance of the Noble Red
Man of the Forest, and sighs distress

his contract.

for the maintenance and support of
each individual Indian in the country
would, if ciphered out and tabulated,
astonish the effetc monarchies. 1t has
always been the policy of the gov
ernmcnt to do the handsome thing by
the Indians For years and years we
have watched their retreating forms
with unmixed sadness, have pursued
them with our sympathies and our
emigrant trains, and for the sake of
old associations in part and partly for
agricultural purposes, have occupied
the lands they abandoned. We have
made large and frequent appropria-
tions for their benefit, and some of the
most brilliant and acute statesmen Of
