I planatlon, and we only desire to cal attention to a remark in it, several times made in substance in THE CrrI ZEN, viz: Ordinarily in proportion to the fidelity and efficiency with which an Indian Agent executes hi, trust, does he become the subject of vituperatiOn and determined opposi | ton: "
 DEPARTMENT OF THE INFERIOR,
 OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. WASHINGTON, D. C., October s, 1875
 SIR: I am in receipt of your favor of the 24th ultimo, for which please accept my thanks. The support which the Territorial officers of Arizona have given this bureau III its endeavors to secure just and effective administra- tiOn of Indian affairs in that Territory is very gratifying and very helpful.
 Your impression of Agent Cum entirely accords with my own; and yet his experience in arousing the op- position and bitter attack of certain parties is entirely in accord with that of other agents of this bureau. Or dlnarily in proportion to the fidelity and efficiency with which an Indian Agent executes his trust, does he be. come the subject of vituperation and determined opposition.
 The history of Indian Affairs for the last three years in Arizona, is as in as gratifying, and confirms the conviction with winch I entered upon my present duties, that all re- quirements for managing any Indians anywhere successfully, are met when you have three things.
 1st A country out of which ii is pos sible for Indians to get living in civilized way. 2d. Funds sufficient to enable them to live while passing through period of pupilage in civil. ization. Sd. An honest and EFF FIcIENT agent. These three require nents have been met on the two most reservations in Arizona, viz Colorado river and San Carlos; and now by the consolidation of the White Mountain Apaches with the San Carlos Agency, those Indians are brought lnder the same favorable conditions.
 Agent Tonner has been obliged to cave Colorado river for want of proper diary; and l am fearing Agent Cum will not remain long after he has just fled himself in the position he has lken. To these two Agents, I give lrge credit for the present prosperous of affairs in your Territory, nd should be ashamed of myself 'rever, if were capable of failing to lpport any such officers of the Indian 'ureau.
 Very respectfully, your obedient srvant, EDWARD P. SMITH, h

bic is that they find no opportunities,

it will increase as the numbers of the

ing and more terrible remorse. The
ratio of unmarried persons is con-
stantly augmenting, and the question
of remedy is one that deserves the
gravest consideration. In the older

the last haul being made Wednesday
night. The final shipment, some 6O,-

Rhode Island Fish Commissioners,

sissippi. The total shipments from the
Connecticut River this year to other
waters than its own amount to l,37O,-

Germany. From the Hudson River
and Delaware the shipments have
amounted to 625,OOO. Of those sent
from all three rivers there have been
765, 600 placed in the tributaries of

orous search, which was prosecuted
for some time in vain, and Horace
departed. Three or four hours af-
terward, when it was IL or u
o'clock at night, bell hoy who had
been more persevering, than the
others in his search, found the mis-
sing article on Chinese Coolie Labor
half buried in the mud in the area of
the hotel. The little fellow rushed
breathlessly to the Tribune office,
and up to the room on the second
story, where Mr.. Greeley was busy
writing. s'Ther's your newspaper
scrap," handing the mud -bedaubed
slip, to the editor. Mr.. Gree
ley took the slip, smiled benignly
at the boy, and gave him a FIVE dol
lar note. The next morning the ar
ticle appeared in the Tribune.
The most diiapidated hat ever
hung on the rack leading to the Ne
tropolitan dining-room, was the tile
of Long John Wentworth, of Chi
cago. This incidental hat was worn
by the noted politician ten years,
aud then was taken to the hatter's
and furnished with new band and
lining, anduis probably still doing
good service. On one occasion Long
John, who stands six feet eight IN
his stocking feet, came to the dining
room door and asked the waiter to
remove his hat for him. "ButI
can't reach your hat" said the watt
er. Mr.. Wentworth replied. "Get
chair and stand on it, and then
you can" The waiter did as re-
quested, and, removing the tile
from the head of the tallest man in
Chicago, deposited it on the rack.
Long John ate his dinner, and when
he lad finished, one of the bell
boys got upon chair and replaced
the tile. The smallest man whoev-
est gave his hat into Alfred's keeping
was 'sLittle Mac" the minstrel.
Charles Sumner once dined at the
Metropolitan, and left the dining
room forgetting to have his hat re-
turned to him. The waiter had to
follow the absent-minded Senator
clear out into the street in order to
give him his hat. Sumner received
the hat, thanked the waiter, andad-
ded: ceI declare, forget all about
nv hat."-M Y Mercury.

Many years ago, in what may be
called the earliest days of the theat-
ricaI profession in the United States,
Cornelius A. Logan was the mana
ger of company of strolling actors.
TheytrayeledIfrom village to vii
lage, in large wagon which held
the actors, their wives and children,
'sprops," and scenery. They foraged
along the country roads, and slept
in the wagon, and on the grass when
they could get no other shelter
They travelled only in Summer, and
made merry over the fortunes of
war. This included, at various
times, Edwin Forrest, aGus'' Ad-
ans, Joe Jefferson, Barney Williams,
Mrs. John Drew, Eliza Logan, Mrs.
Burke, mother of Jefferson, Scotch
man, who is now editor OF one of
theleading papers in. California, and
"a poor utility man, the subject of
this article, by name Isaac Merritt
Singer, the inventor of the sewing
machine.
He, in common with his wife, nev-
er got beyond what is technically
known as ''little bits" My father
and Singer were one day sitting to-
gether, my mother near bys very
6nsS making over address, aEithia ba-
by on her knee and play-book on
the table beside her.
The poor utility man observed heI
for awhile, and then said that he new
er saw a woman sewing without
thinking what a boon it W ould be to
the sex if something could be in
vented to relieve them of the labor;
that he hadlong had susidea how it
could be done. This remark led to
conversation on the subject, and to
Singers explaining his invention
which, discouraged, he had given
up. My father urged him to perse'
we're, and fred with the new hope he
took heart and went to work again.
So great was his preoccupation that
he was never perfect in part after
that bra @aai- . g. 2. 4 &. -c- ~, = 5.- 4.
Like all inventors, he was looked
upon as half = crazy, particularly
when he was caught slipping spool
frem lady's work-basket into his
pocket, or furtively plucking the
hairs out Of an actors wig. Ark
wright himself was never put to
greater shifts to obtain material to
work with. Singer first set up a
model of a machine to be worked
with one foot only, but there was
some trehbIep shout the treadle, and
he abandoned that; but he was fully
determined to perseVere, and he left
the company to GIVE his whole time
to experiments.
AS these events tfanspired in the
early days of 1880, Howe, whose
patent was n6t obtained tilp towards
1850, can hardly obtain priority Of
idea. lfItisIvery probable that had
the poor utility man possessed the
means to perfect his ideas when he
conceived them, he would have won
the qndisputeda title of inventor oi
the sewing machine:

Russia avuuuu.a. and ID, our centennial,


!, Hon. John Jay, late Minister OF
Austria, in a published letter on the
Centennial, says that the American
p1eople should desire an explanation
Of the refusal of Russia to partici-
hate in our. exhibition; that they
should ask if the diplomatic cores
pondence throws no hight upon it, or
If Mr.. Jewell, our recent envoy, can
possibly explain it. This having
been brought TO Mr.. Jewelps notice,
he gives, as the reasons furnished
him by the Russian Foreign Office,
that they had Just gotten through
with the Vienna Exposition, and
had not settled their accounts of ex-
penses there; that Russia could
hardly afford to present herself IN an
international exposition in three
years after the close of that at Elen-
ma; that her country developed slow
lv. and to exhibit oftener than once
in a decade would be q severe test;
and further, that under no clrcum-

nIained that with their autocrat-
Io IDEAS they cannot understand
how a government should ask her to
accept the invitation of a private
corporation, while at the same time
disclaiming any responsibility. Mr..
Jewell says the reasons given here
for Russia's non-participation were
fully set forth in Official dispatches,
but they were not printed with the
diplomatic part of the annual mes
sage and documents. In regard Il
Mr.. jays suggestion of the un
friendliness in this action by Russia
Mr.. Jewell is positive there is moth
ing of the sort, and thatit cannot b
construed as Indicating any inter
ruption of long standing friendl
relation between the two countries
