our indian Formulation.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 28.- Indian
Commissioner Smith, in his annual
report, says:
BY the number Of Indians returned
they substantially verify the count
and estimates of last year, making a
total as now enumerated of 278.963
This population is determined by &C
tual count Of the tribes with the ex-
ception of Navajoes, Papagoes, Pu-
clos, Mission Indians, (roamers in
Oregon), the Blackfeet. Peigans, nom
treaty Sioux, and portion of the
ULes-in all. less than $4,000; and
for these $4,000, with the exception
of not exceeding 10000, the esti-
mates have been based on long ac-
quaintance with the condition and
habits of their tribes, and cannot be
far from correct. Taking labor which
Indians undertake for themselves
and its results as a standard of pro-
gress, the reports show $4,000 able
Indians, representing not far from
the same number of Indian families,
undertaking self-support by labor
with their own hands. The majority
of these laborers have procured the
larger portion of their means of liv-
ing as represented in the crop of q
4O4. 900 bushels of wheat and other
small grains, and All $50 bushels of
potatoes and other vegetables. The

j" Unlimited Imitation. %
From bic cincinna.i Enquirer.

Neither the Democrats of Ohio nor
the Democracy anywhere else are in
favor Of unlimited imitation" Very
likely the platform of the convention
"next year" may say so. The Dem
ocrats Q: Ohio during the late can-
vass. every day. and from morn I'll
noon, from noon till dewy eve, ware
called unlimited infationists.'
These two falsehoods will probably
be taken out of the mouths Of our
opponents by our platform of next
year. The substance. the spirit, the
essential features of the Ohio plat
form will be adopted by the Nation
al Democracy. 1t gained for as in
this State fifty-five thousand votes in
a year. The New York bullionists'
contraction platform lost thirty thou
sand votes to the Democratic party
in that State in an equal length of
time. The Ohio doctrine, under
stood. has behind it the majority of
the people of the country. 1t rises
out of the elections of this year more
triumphant than the Democratic de-
of any other State. It is
not dead, nor does it sleep.

sion, will, we guarantee, always find the
latch string on the outside. Senator ID.

Chattanooga district, have rooms in the

- An affecting scene was witnessed at
the funeral of Capt. Pettigrew. An old
family servant, scarcely able to walk
or stand, with hair white with age, stood
outside the Church, bowed down in sin
cere grief, and unable to conceal her sor-
row, wept like a child. Perhaps she
was the nurse of him who lay in the cot
fin, cold and stiff. A considerate gentle
man invited the old woman to take a
seat inside the Church, and she thanked
him as if this were the greatest boon she
desired on earth.
- Jane Allen, colored woman, died
last week in our town from the effects of
a violent cold, contracted by exposure.
She was discharged from the family with
whom she had lived, and when she ap-
piled TO a colored family for shelter, she
was almost destitute of clothing and half
famished. She was given shelter by the
humane colored family, and cared for

Tuesday night, the 18th inst. several dwelling
houses were visited by burglars, evidently band
organized for the purpose. They entered Mr..
Harvey Durkee's residence, through window on
the ground floor, but their stay was probably rer-
dered short, being disturbed by Mrs. Chas. Dur
kee, who had occasion to be up several times du.
ring the night. They stole nothing there but a
pair of boots.
At Mr.. j. G. Gottfredsen's they broke into the
cellar, bat being unable to obtain access to the
upper portions Of the house, cont themselves
with eating pie or two, and left.
At Mrs. Heads, on Park Avenue, they entered
the cellar>but got nothing but few apples.
At Mr.. S. Drom's,on Park Avenue they made
better thing of it. HaviIi gained an entrance
into the cellar, they assembled to the dining room
and stole all the solid silver table plate. There
were at the time two sick persons in the house.
and watcher with each; so, the robbers would
have but little chance of visiting other parts of
the house without being discovered. They were
evidently good judges of silver pate-as they left
all the plated ware, taking only the solid silver;
which consisted of spoons, forks, fine nap kin
rings. and butter knife, all valued at about $40
The napkin rings were presents to the members
of The family, and the loss of them is felt very
keenly.

entered last Friday night, through an unfas

robbers dropped the two watches as they we've
