Wesleyan Female College. at Cincinnati,

Church ard he is himself regular attend
ant upon its services. There is one fact
which we cannot forbear to state. Though
not professor of religion, 50 far as we
know, he has always maintained the beauti-
full habit Of reading the scriptures night and
morning in his family: and after the chap
ter is read they all kneel down and repeat
the Lords prayer, as if they believed in

and protection. Should he and his estimable

The terrible disaster 10 our army, on the
Western Plains. makes a wide and sombrC
break in our Centennial rejoicings. Strong
aud mighty nation that we are, We have not
yet solved our Indian problem We some
how cannot either manage to keep peace
with our red brethren Of the Plains,
or to subdac them in war. The present
hostilities began by the invasion Of the
Indian reservations by the Black Hills
miners. Collisions occurred, followed by
Indian dcpredations and murders Of mail
carriers, miners and settlers The troops
tiok the field to endeavor to compel the
Indians to return to their reservations. An
engagement occurred on the Eth Of June on
Rosebud Creek, northwest OF the Black
Hills, in which ten. Crook lost nine men
killed and twenty-one wounded. This was
followed. on the 18th, by the battle on the
Little Horn river Tor Little Big Horn, a it
Is pat down on the maps, some fifty miles
southwest of Rosebud Creek, which resulted
in the terrible loss of zen. Custer and fifteen
oihcers and three hundred men. This fright
ful disaster appears to have been largely que
to Custer reckleSsneSs. lie was one Of the
most daring officers in our army, and in this
case evidently sadly underyalued his enemy.
We should be glad to believe, if we could,
that there has been any real need Of the In
dian war. of which this has been 50 mortify-
ing n result But the bulk of the testimony
We have seen. has been the other way. We
have before uS, in the New York Times, a
copy of letter written As late as June 30th
by United States Indian Inspector Nandever.
In this he declares that the great body of the
Indians of the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
agencies, were trying to keep the peace. He
says that a few days since the Sioux-the
war-like and powerful tribe. one of whose
camps Custer attacked-held great festival
or 'sun-lance, IS at which an immense num-
her Of Indians were present, and they dis
cussed tine question whether any OF them
should engage in hostilities with the whites
at the present time. Mr.. Nandever says
"Red Cloud and Spotted Tail harangued the
multitude, and exhorted them to remain at
peace, and wait until the great father should
have come over to arrange about the Black
Hills. These great chiefs, and others, have
used their utmost influence to hold their
people at home, and they have succeeded
Tho>e who have gone out are the unruly
ones, and there are no more Of that kind
among these Indians than among the same
number Of whites. Give these Indians fair
play, treat them with the same degree Of
justice that we would treat civilized beings,
and they will be friends. But if proyoca-
ton after provocation is heaped upon them,
they will be compelled to fight
of the particular value of Mr.. Nandevers
opinion We are not informed but he writes
like sensible and reliable man, and we
doubt not he tells the truth. The Indians
are fighting after great proyoc ation, and
they seem to fight to fearful purpose.

WARRINGTON NOTES.

1t was thought that the Diplomatic and
Consular bill had been adjusted on Saturday,
by giving the President discretionary power
in the the reduction of the cost to the House
basis, but Mr.. Randall insisted upon IN
serting new legislation concerning the sal
aries To this Senator Frelinghuysen re-
fused to agree.
The House Elections Committe has deeid-
ed the contested election case Of Platt v.
Goode, from Virginia, by declaring that
there was no election, and that the case
should be sent back. Washington despatch
es say the facts and law seemed to be with
the Republican contestant, Hon. d. H.
Platt, but the Democratic committee, though
impelled to decide against his competitor
would not accord him the election.
The House refusing to recognize the right
of the Senate to originate revenue measure
passed Joint resolution extending the ap-
pr opriations for ten days, and Ignoring the
Senate resolution on the same subject.
The Democrats of the Banking and Cur
reney Committee have been struck with a
panic with respect to the Specie Resumption
act, under repres entations that the passage
of the Repeal bill would injure the party IN
New York. The Republicans have had nc
trouble in preventing vote.
The Speaker laid before the House. on
Monday "a telegram fromGov. Common, Maine,
informing the House that having appointed
| James q Blaine United States Senator to I'LL
a vacancy created by the resignation of SEN
ator Morrill,, Gov. Common had accepted Mr.
Blaine's resignation a. representative
The question is likely to be raised that a
Mr.. Blaine is no longer a member Of the
House the investigation Of his case must
stop.
Messrs. Conkling and Hamlin made an at
tempt to pass an amendment directing that
the consultations of Senators on i'm
parchment be public Messrs. Edmund:

one vote.

weeks will elapse before the session closes

in historic art have delighted fashionable
audiences in years gone by. Ii was con-
structed before the Revolution. and alter

tions were levclled and the main building
converted into huge pleasure resort under
the name OF Castle Garden In 1926 mag
nifcent ball was given in Castle Garden to
Gen. Lafayette. In 1851 the building was
converted into mammoth concert
hall for Jenny Lind. As many as
20 900 people were assembled within its
walls at single concert. of late years
it has been the first resting place of thou
sands of hopeful emigrants. Two hundred
German emigrants were in the building and
among these the greatest excitement pre-
vailed in saving their effects and escaping
from the burning building. The FIRE is sup
