INDIAN TnouBLEs.-Th report of the Red
Cloud investigating commission has been
made. The commissioners find that ex.
Agent Sayille was guilty of official incompe-
tencei that the charge of oyer-estimates Of
the numbers of Indians at the agency, for
the purpose of fraud, is only matter of
opinion that the beef cattle furnished were
really of superior quality; that Mr.. Savilles
plan of starving the Indians for the purpose
OF enumerating them was commendable ;
that there were fragrant frauds in the pork
and flour contracts, and in the matterof trans
portation' suggesting criminal proceedings
in the latter case; that Secretary Delano is
innocent of the charges brought against him
by Professor Marsh and that Commissioner
Smith is guilty only of want of vigilance
The Indian policy of the government is com
meuted on, and important suggestions made

Thar PosrAGE LAw,-The legislative
blunder whereby Congress unwittingly fixed
double rates upon third-cass mail matter,
has, it is said, worked no detriment to the
department as regards receipts under that
head. Nobody, probably, supposed it would.
We are given to understand that Senator
llamlin-honest soul-mpatiently awaits
the coming of the first Monday of December,
when Congress assemblies aud will give him
a chance to right himself on the record by
repeal movement. II would, we think, lie
only fair that, for the year to come, at least,
the rates on third-class matter be reduced by
the same amount of the increase, under the
act now operative. If this experiment were
tried it would crafty great number of PEG
pie who think that a cheaper scale Of postage
in this country is inevitable, though the in
PRODUCTION of the postal card has in meas
IRE abated the demand. Cheap postal SER
vice is the true theory in our country as well
as in England. When Rowland Hill began
to agitate his penny postage plan he was
thought by some TO be of nnsound mind
The experiment itself has long since dem
onstrated the wisdom of his project, not only
financially, but in all other respects

sANlrAnY.-Typhoid feyers are born of
impurities, whether in earth, air or water.
The Journal Of Chemistry warns the drinkers
of water Of wells near dwellings to beware
of the typhoid poison, sure to be sooner or
later in those reservoirs, if any of the house
drainage can percolate them The gelatin
Gus matter often found upon the stones of a
well is a poison to the human system, prob
ably causing by its presence a fermentation of
the blood with abnormal heat or fever.
Wholesome untainted water is always free
from all color and odor To test it
thoroughly, place half pint in clear bot
tie, with few grains of lump sugar, and ex-
pose it, stoppered, to sunlight, in window.
If, even after an exposure of eight or ten
days, the water becomes turbid, be sure that
the water has been contaminated by sewage
ofsome kind. If it remains perfectly clear
it is pure and safe.
