AN EVENING WITH FEANLL1N.-
Soon after my return to Paris I din
ed and spent the evening with the
immortal Franklin. Arriving at an
early nour, I discovered the philos-
opher in a distant room, reading in
the exactp osture in which he is rep
resented by an admirable engraving
from hia portrait, his left am resting
upon the right hand. His mingling
in the most refined society of both
,Iemispheres had communicated to
his manners a blandness and URBAN
ty well sustained by his native grace
and elegance of department. His
venerable locks wavineiover his per-
sonal appearance, commanded rev.
erance and respect; and yet his man
ners we're SO pleasant and fasinating
that one felt at ease, and unrestrain-
ed in his presence, He inquired
whether I knew that he was musi-
clan; and he conducted me across
the room, to an instrument of his
own invention, which he called the
Armonica. The music was produ-
ced by a peculiar combination of
hemispherical glasses. At my solic-
itation, he played upon it, and per-
formed some Scotch pastrols with
great effect. r - -.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-The Com
missioner of Indian affairs is of the
opinion that important changes in thu
Indian service in California and other
Pacific States and Territories will be
necessary when the Indian appropria-
tion bill is finally passed. Heretofore.
most of the expenses for California, Me-
vada. Oregon and some other portions
of the Pacific Coast service, has been
paid out of the incidental funds appro-
priated instead of sums for specific pur-
poses. The necessities of the service
have been such as to render it impossi-
Bile to estimate the requirements in ad-
vance. and large discretion has been
allowed to the Department.. gOne>half
of the 5000. 600 asked for by the Indi-
an Bureau, is required to fulfil the spe-
cific demands o. the treaties. The
House of Representatives in attempting
to reduce the Indian appropriations so
to cut that amount out of the other half
The general terms of the reduction was
to refuse to recognize the claims of In
dians excepting those with whom we
have treaty relations by Congress. the
ibes which have been pacifed without
such treaties, are not considered to
have any claims for appropriations.
The public bounty is therefore princi-
pally distributed in aid of those who
have been first at war with the whites.
All the agencies in Californis will prob
ably be consolidated under one agent
if the bill passes as it now stands, pro-
viding only $50, 900 for incidental ex-
penses in California, and other made
quate amounts for other parts of the
Pacific Coast. - 4ztass ~
