TIE INDIANs.-Gen. Sherman says that
all the available troops in the north and
west have been ordered to the Indian coun-
try, and that the number will be amply suf-
ficieut to defeat the hostile tribes. He does
not believe, however, that the Indian question
can be settled until the government enters
upon the policy Of depriving Indians of
their ponies aud compelling them to go on
foot. When this is done the Indians will be
comparatively powerless, and those upon
their reservations will never venture TO leave
to 60 upon the war path. In regard to the
reported death of Sitting Bnll, General Sher-
man says it will make but little difference
whether it is true or not, as the Indians have
fully twenty as capable warriors to command
in case OF battle.

When "6ghting Phil" takes the field
against the Indians we may look for signal
victories. He is not of the sort either to
attack overwhelming numbers or yet to frit-
ter away his strength in skirmishing. The
same extinguisher which he would fain have
employed on the Texan frontier, will be felt
by the warriors who have grown to be almost a
terror. 1t is said that the plan of cam.
paign which has been determined upon is to
make combined movement of three col.
umns, with Fort Ellis as the base. Two Of
the columns will move directly against the
Indians, and one against their villages. Gen
Sheridan will, according to the present plan,
establish his headquarters in the field al
some advantageous point on Goose Greek,
about forty miles northwest OF Fort Phil
Kearney, and near the scene of Gen. Crook s
battle on the Rosebud on the l7th of June
The force of these three columns will amount
in the aggregate to between 1900 and 1000
men.

The impression prevails that the effort to
stock the streams of Vermont with salmon
will meet with Indifferent success until the
dust and shavings of sawmills are removed
from the water and pickerel extirminated.
These, especially the former, are the causes
which first expelled salmon from the waters
of Vermont. Sluices to conduct away saw
dust would leave the brooks and rivers far
more congenial habitation both for trout and
salmon.

college regattas. Too much of the athletic
is not for the health Of any college. The
tendency Of such sports and games is to di
vert the energies of many students from
legitimate work into channels that yield no
permanent benefit. The smaller colleges
from their non-participation in these contests,
are to DO congratulated, and ought to be all
the more literally patronizOd on that very
account The objection against the academ-
10 course on the ground that the health
Of the student is too often i'm.
paired beyond recovery, is not substantiated
by statistics. Hard study, though not alter
mating with exercise Of muscle under tho
hot sun, is not destructive of physical vigor,
as many would have US believe. Boat races
training for pedestrian feats, and all such
violent exercise are not necessary adjuncts to
the best culture.

The races last week Wednesday at Sara

Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, I'm.

attaches some years to such contests. The
three races, University, single scull and
freshman occurred on Wednesday, Cornell
taking the first prize in each. The course
was, as usual, three miles and the winning
college made the following time in the three

This Summer is the hottest one known in
Europe since that Of 1911, which was the
year of the great comet that was supposed
to have indicated the rapidly approaching
fall of Napoleon. The heat then made the
vintage very great indeed, and gave "bOdy" to
the wine, SO that the comet brand has ever
since been famous.

The reform temperance movement is not
confined to Vermont and New Hampshire

Boston having 5000 men enrolled as re-

Waltham, $50, Worcester. 500, and other

complications, which would wreck them in q
short time.

The present is the fourth invasion of the
Big Horn country by United States troops.

TIE LIFE AND COsT OF BANK-NoTEs.-.
During the period OF two years and ten days,
from June 20, 1874 to July /, 1876, the
controller Of the currency received from the
engraVers new bank-notes TO the amount of
1915, 376, 5l2; and he issued for replace
ment OF notes redeemed and the supply Of
new banks increasing their circulation, TO the
amount of 2lS,050,874. During the twelve
months ending the Both ult., he received
SIP. 1882 ,625, and issued 500, 720, 565.
The total amount of mutilated currency
received by the controller and destroyed as
anft for circulation was S23S, 39S,022 dur.
ing the two years and ten days, aud $780,
473,l90 during the last twelve months.
These figures indicate that in order TO keep
the bank'note circulation in good condition
it is necessary to renew thom once in about
three years and three months. The whole
expense Of paper, printing, redemption, re.
issues and probably engraving the entire is
sue of some 1881 900, 900, or about A ,000,-
900 Of separate notes, has to be incurred
regularly about once in three and one-fourth
years. The greenbacks have to be renewed
oftener, because the proportion Of small notes
to the whole issue is greater, and the small
notes wear out faster. The ones and twos
constitute only about u per cent of the
amount OF bank issues, while they constitute
more than l4l per cent of the amount OF
the greenbacks. The difference will be morn
clearly seen when 1t is stated, with respect TO
the number Of notes, that AZ greenbacks out
Of every 65 are ones and twos, while only
22 out of every so bank-notes are ones and
twosi or, approximately, 81 greenbacks aud
only II bSnk-notes in every hundred are ones
and twos. 1t is fair to assume, therefore.
that the greenbAcks and bank.notes taken to-
gethor have to be renewed as often as once
10 three years. Coin.moneY will last from
seven to ten times as long, and then it can be
renewed at a comparatively trihing cost, and
the loss by wear during the whole life Of the
coin will seldom exceed ! per cent

What shall the grangers do2 Though
grangors, they are citizens still and SO long as
they enjoy the privileges of citizenship they
have political duties to discharge. We are
on the eve Of another presidential election.
With the return of cooler days and tho lcis.
uro after the busy season, the campaign will
open and the patrons will begin to enquire,
provided they are not preprejudiced, whom
shall we vote for Both candidates are con.
ceded to be good men. Our first aud last
advice, therefore, would be- "Be indepeud'
ent. Do not hop to conclusion. Sft out
what is campaign fiction from what is essen.
tial and true. Look forward and not be-
hind and never believe in the conservation Of
a party" What farmers desire especially
to see accomplished in the administration Of
government, is the decrease Of taxes, mod.
ifcation in the system OF tax collection and
a stable currency. They will naturally vote
for the man who, they believe, eau assist
most powerfully in achieving these results.
We refrain at present from declaring, being
willing to defer the decision till more facts
and figures develop. Tilden's letter of &C.
ceptance is yet to be read. We hope that
in this matter our readers will not decide
hastily or without the most thorough aud
conscientious investigation. Hundreds Of
instances of corruption and ineficiency pOinI
to the fact that change must be made Ell.
Their from within or without, and the ques
ton as to how that reform can most effect
ually be made, is the real question for every
man to decide for himself. Promises have
been broken, pledges dishouored as if never
uttered until the choice narrows itself down
to the two men.

And tho same principle holds with regard to

worse than that is the custom Of keeping in
