General Sherman's Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Thc annual re-
port of General Sherman says: The a@@re-
gate strength of the line of the army. ac-
cording TO the last reports received, is 1,5+0
officers and ~, 031 enlisted men, made up as
follows: > regiments of artillery. go Off

gagged in d%eprcdationS on the Texas and
Kansas frontiers, resulting in their diSarma-
mcnt and subsection 10 authority. If mill

The Sioux Indians have recently made in
curSiOnS into Northern Nebraska, mostly TO
steal cattle and horses from farms along the
Pacific Railroad, and north of it. General
Crooks is of opinion that the whole army.
acting defcnSiycly, cannot prevent these in
curSionS. and suggests that troops be sta
toned in the midst of the Indian, so a. to
watch and prevent them leaving on preten>e
of hunting. This is impracticabie, unless
the army can have supervision of the necc>-
>arv supplies of these tribes within the Res
crvatiOn. which i now not the case. The
reports of the several Commissions which
have. under military escort. recently been
engaged in exploring the country, and in me-
gntiatin~ with these Indians. will throw
much light on this subject. Generally
speaking. the damage to life and PROPERTY
by Indians is believed to be less during the
past Year than in any former year. and the
prospect is that a. the country settles up it
will be less and less each wear, until all the
Indians are established on small reSerya-
tons; but until they acquire habits of in
duStry III farming or in stOck-raiSing, they
will need food from the General Govern
ment. because the game which they hitherto
SubSi>ted on has diminished very rapidly.

Sheep for Profit.

+. Menault, in one of a series of lit
tie farm books published by Hatchette,
Paris, considers that hill sheep are na-
tually small but rustic and robust,
while those in valleys are larger but
less energetic. Wet argillaceouS soils
produce a tall, Emphatic rather than
Sanguine animal, withlOng, soft, coarse
wool, not elastic. This sheep is hard
to ~fatten, but is long-lived. The best
soils are calcareous, producing medium
sized, sanguine animals, with fine
t~leeces, the wool running to hocks. Sill
ceous soils give an excellent temper
ament with less food, 4 small sheep
with short wool and savory flesh. Cold
dews and the heat of the day should be
avoided by the shepherd. Dew on clo-
yer or other rich grass is often fatal to
sheep, while, on the other hand, many
die from lack of water. Sheep should
not be washed before shearing, because
it is troublesome, dangerous to the
sheep, and of little or no advantage to
consumers of wool. The lamb is born
with twenty-four molars, and in the
lower jaw only eight incisors. In the
second year the two middle %incisors on
each side fall and are replaced;
in the third year the next two incisors
on each side fall and are likewise re-
placed, the animal beng then called
ssof four teeth" in the fourth it be-
comes Il beast of six teeth the two in
cisOrs next in order, on either side
of the jaw, falling in turn. In the fifth
year adult teeth have taken the place of
all the eight incisors. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that improved and
p%recocious breeds of sheep have these
effects fastened by from eight to twelve
months.-Decem5er Scribner.

East India Funeral Rites.

When a native Of the TOda tribe dies
his body is gayly decked with orna-
ments, and wrapped in new clothes,
and afterwards exposed on q bier deco
rated with green boughS and herbs for
several days. 1t is then, amid wailings,
borne by the relatives to the funeral
pile. One of the relatives then cuts off
a lock of the deceased's hair, after
which the body, with I'LL its ornaments,
is burned amid the waitings of the kins-
folk, who pile on fresh faggots. After
the corpse is almost completely con
sumed the fire is quenched by water
thrown on it.
The relatives then search for bits of
bone which have escaped the ''crema-
tom these are carefully preserved as
relics of the deceased. After this rite
the men shave their heads and the wO-
men shorten their hair. This is, how
ever, only done by the younger MEM
bers of the tribe to denote their respect
for their seniors, and is not universally
adopted by all the Toda tribes, some of
which only cast aside their ornaments
for a time after the death of their rela-
tives. After the body has been burned,
various ceremonies are practiced and
animals are sacrificed to propitiate the
deity and secure the w%ell-being of the
departed soul in the next world.

which the nation was saved and the trans

Up to this time, Notwithstanding every

Ten years ago when the feaera' Al"'''

COUNTY sUPERvIsIONs.


This feature Of the school law calls out
some opposition. The peculiar character Of
this opposition deserves some notice at
our hands. We have listened patiently to
all the objections.
In the first place it is said there is no
use Of county SUPERVISION, but we suggest
that those who raise this objection are not
familiar with the workings Of public
school systems. 1t is geherally conceded
that with the most efficient supervision
there is still room for improvement US is
the efficiency o! supervision SO is the ex-
cellency Of the schools. Those who are sat-
isfed with poor schools cannot SEQ the ne
cess'ty of elevating the standard Of teach.
ing. They do not know what a good school
is. The objections from such a source are
the strongest arguments that can be ad-
euced In favor Of supervision. Twenty
three states Of the union have adohted
county supervision. u.
State superintendent FlomiDgs report
of the school operations of tie State n
der his administration shows clearly what
supervision has done for the schools. III
the counties where the supervision was
wanting or inefficient the schools made
but little Roadway. Some Of the countic.
reported to elect county Superintendent.
and the result was there were no schools
opened, uothing done. But on the other
hand, when active Supcrintendents were
elected the schools prospered and the ne.
ces.ity Of supervision became apparent.
There is nothing for the County Super.
intedent to do. We infer from this that
the schools are as efficient as they can be
made. The school houses are good. The
teachers understand the best methods OF
teaching. Tho people are alive to the
interests Of education. The children are
all in school. The school directors arr
live men aud understand all about mana
ging and teaching school. IL we are cor
rect in our inference, there is no use for
County Supervisors. But we hal as
we'll stop right here and reflect over the
matter.

issue County warrcuts to pay the teachers
the balance due them for the year 1878.
The amount of school tax behind

There are several reasons Why this pro-
position should meet the appro batiop of
the Court, There can be no loss to TIE
County. The teachers prefer to have
such arrangements made.
