The Commissioners here announced
the close of the council until Tomorrow.
Men verSed in Indian character say
no treaty will be made. The Commi>-
sIoners, while zealously working, have
no knowledge of Indian character, and
are gradually widening the gulf between
themselves and the Indian.

The Fall Trade.

The New York Herald speaks most
cheerfully about the prospects of the fall
trade:
The inquiries made within 4 few days
show an extremely satisfactory condition
of trade The fall business dong by
the wholesale dry goods merchants is
unexpectedly large. Several of the
leading houses express their surprise at
its extent, and say that trade has not
been so good for five years pat.
The retail dry goods trade seems also
to be uncommOnly active just now, and
it has the same characteristic features
of the wholesale trade-caution in buy
ers: cash payment; careful selection by
purchasers.
There are, in fact, not only here and
in the peculiar features Of the fall, bus
mess, but all over the country, evidences
that we are recovering, If not rapidly,
YET soundly, from the commercial and
industrial prostration which began in

Depth of the Great Lakes.

There is a mystery about the Ameri-
can lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty or
seventy feet deep: but Lake Ontario
which is 800 feet deep. is 230 feet deep
low as most parts of the Gulf of ST.
Lawrence; and the bottom of Lakes
Huron, Michigan and Superior, al
though the surface is mnch higher. are
all from their vast depth on a level with
Ontario; now as the Detroit river after
allowing all the probable portion carried
off by evaporation, does MT appear by
any means equal to the quantity of wa
ter which the three upper lakes receive,
it has been cnnieetured that suhterran-
can river NAV run from Lake Superi Of,
by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is not impossible, and ae-
counts for the singular fact that herring
and salmon are caught in all the lakes
communicating with the st. Lawrence,
but no others. As the falls Of Niagara
must have always existed it wonld
puzzle the naturalist to say how these
fish got into the upper lakes without
some subterranean river, besides, any
periodical examination of the river
would furnish as not improbable solu-
tion of the mysterious fix and rehux o.
the lakes

II is now believed that the mob at
Bellefontaine killed an innocent man
when they hung Shell. Evidence has
since been discovered, which it is said,
points clearly to the guilt of Shells
wife. He protested to the last that he
was innocent. and that his wife murder
ed the girl because she was jealonz Of
her. The evidence that gives weight to
bis protessations Is thar in the tightly
clasped hand of the murdered girl wefe
found several hairs ten and twelve inches
in length--twice as long as any worn by
Shetland of color that corresponds
With that Of his wife's hair. II is now
believed that she manufactured the
confession" Of her husband in order to
save herself She is in prison, and in
due time will be tried for the crime.

Ilebt.

There is no worse demoralizer Of
character. The sad records of deflult
ing, embezzling and dishonest failures
which we meet with so constantly in the
daily press, are often, indeed most fire.
quently, the results of the demoraliza :
tion of debt, and consequent desperate
efforts at extricatiun. The financial
props have given way. The little debt,
which at first was small as grain Of
mustard seed, like the rolling SNOWFALL
has gathered weight and multiplied itself
a thousan1fold And still il grows, and
like the fabulous hydra which Hercules
was sent to kill. you no sooner strike off
one head than two shoot mp in its place.
The struggle is severe, but in the end
decisive; either confession is made of a
hopeless ba1kruptcy which might and
should have been avoided, or integrity i,
sacrificed to the temptation Of the mo-
ment. Debt ruins as many households
and DESTROYS as many fine characters as
rum; and he is always ready to fore
close.

The result of the last council with
the Indians shows most conclusively
that the old plan of getting Indian land
for few beads and cheap trinkets will
no longer work. Together with other
knowledge, the Indians have learned
something of the value of money, as is
evidenced by the prices various chiefs
demand for the Black Hills. The low
est estimate is S5,O00,0OO, the highest
S50,000,000, and there are now a few
leading men among the Sioux who con-
slider the country cheap at the latter
rate. The Indians assert that the Gov
ernment has promised to preserve the
country inviolate to them, and claim
that this should be done at all hazards.
The Commissioners attempted to explain
to the Indians The difficulty of keeping
whites out of the country, and even
volunteered the information that the
Government desired to lease the land,
that it might be returned to the original
owners if the precious metals were
not found in working quantities; but
their well-meant efforts were received
with nnconcealed ridicule by the Indians
who retired without giving any opinion
whatever. If the Government wants
the Black Hills country, it's is tolerably
certain that a round price will have to
be paid for il.

A Currant-Bush in a Loeust-tree.

There was once a Incust-tree close by
our meadow, and in the top of that To-
cust-tree was Il fine little cnrrant- bush
in full bearing! What do you think of
that, my chicks? The birds thought
very well of it. | assure you. The fruit
was little sour, to be sure, but then it
WAS their very own. No human hand
ever touched it. How it came to be up
so high Jack cannot tell you, but he
thinks the birds must have carried up
the seed one fine day, and, lodging in a
crotch Of the tree by one of the dead
branches, it found there enough mold or
dust, or whatever it may be, TO give it
root hold and nourishment At any
rate, there it was-a pretty little white
death alone in the bleak Autumn wind
This is not the only instance of the.
kind. Pm told that in Massachusetts,
rot many miles from Boston, there's "A

.Delano's letter of resignation as Sec
retary of the Interior has been given to
the public. 1t is dated July 5th, 1875,
and gives as reason for his desiring to
resign, the exhausting labors of the Of
fee and his advanced age. The Presi-
dent did not acceptathe resignation until
the 25ih inst. The reason he did not
accept it sooner was because of the con-
timed persecution heaped npon him
through the public press. The usual
compliments are exchanged.

Gen. j. II. Wilson, a celebrated cav =
airy leader, has contributed two arti-
cles to the Galaxy on General Sherman.
they declare of him that he cannot be
assigned the highest rank among the
great captains fthe world, or even of our
own country; that neither his Judgment
nor his courage is of the highest order,
and that they are not in harmonious
equilibrium. General Wilson further
contends that Sherman is not the equal
of Grant IN jndgmento or courage, thongh
he excels him in briliancy; that he is
inferior to Thomas in steadness and re-
solution, far surpassed by Sheridan in
courage, and excelled by Upton as a
tactician and general student of the
military art. Finally, the critic con-
cludes that the Memoirs will cause their
author to be assigned lower place than
might otherwise have fallen to his lot

Earth Worms.

The Insignificant and u,lattractive
earth worms are of the greatest benefit
to the fields which they inhabit, though
many have supposed to the contrary.
They are very humble bnt efficient ser
wants of the agriculturist; and, far from
ininring his meadow and his garden,
they devote themselves with praise
worthy as.iduity to. turning over the
soil to greater depth and more thor
oughlv than can be done with the best
appliances known to science. These an
imals (for so they are classified by the
naturalists) are scarcely more than ami
mated tubes. They seem to live by tax
ing earth and earthly substances in at
one end and passing them out at the 9TH
er This simple process Of digestion is
aided, however. by 4 mucous secretion;
and the worm has Il habit, when he has
filled himself with earth, of ascending
to the surface, turning around, and
working himself back again into the
ground. This operation unloads him.:
and the process, repeated by millions of
his fellows cannot but have a highly
beneficial effect upon the quality of the
land. 1t is said by Mr.. Darwin that
these worms have been known to cover
a field to the depth of thirteen inches
in the course of eighty years. A slow
process, to be snre, but SO are all the
processes of Nature. This, however, is
not all that they do. They carry their
shafts and galleries to a depth of several
feet, and cross and intersect in all direc-
tions, loosening the soil, opening it to
the air and water, and, in~short, doing
all that they can to help vegetation,
without preying upon it or Injuring its

Grapes and Mud as Medical Agents

At certain towns in Switzerland grapes
are grown solely as medicine, and the
vineyards are put to no other use. In
stead Of drinking water, as at other
places, the patient is sent out to eat
grapes, and must pick them himself
from the vines. Where the doctor or
dinarlliy instruets the patient to drink 80
many glasses Of water, he is here in
structed to eat just as many lunches of
grapes, and no more IL ii assumed TO
be dangerous to go beyond the doctors
prescription single grape. As strange
as 1t may appear, invalids experience
the best of good effects from the "raisin
cure" or at least think that they do,
and go away very we'll satisfied.

Another popular treatment il found
at the mud baths Of Schwalbach and
other places. where the patients are i'm
mersed in soft black mud up to their
chins, and remain in the bath for some
hours Most of them have floating ia
bic before them, npon which they keep
books, cigars, or refreshments, according
to the tastes of the patients. After re %
manning two or three hours in the mnd
one is washed OF with hose pipe and
put into a ;epid bath The operation is
continued the next morning, and is re-
peated until the patient j. cnred or tir-
