NEWS SUMMARY.
Washingtoni

The Presidents first reception OF the
Indians occurred a few days since, and, at
the very opening, it took q curious charac-
ter. William WEIGH, at the request OF the
Indians, made a general statement OF their
complaints and their wants. The hrst OF
their disadvantages mentioned was that
there were too many changes Of the Indian
Commissions. To-day they had one; to-
morrow another. They thought one ought
to stay till he knew the business. By a
strong coincidence, Mr., Hoyt, the new Com
missioner, attended the meeting, being
seated, while Welch was making this point,
directly behind Mr.. Smith, who was acting as
Commissioner. Atthe close of short speeches
from each of the Chiefs, they were intro
duced to Mrs. Hayes, and then to the MEM
bers of the Cabinet. 1t is not expected that
the investigation in the Indian Office will
from this time henceforth be closed to the
Commissioner, since Mr.. Hoyt has been one
of the chief witnesses against the manage
ment of the Office, and is thus already ae-
quainted, as Commissioner Smith was not,
with what was going on.
The Commissioner of Patents makes the
following official announcement regarding
the late fire: Apart from the damage done
to the building, the pecuniarylo loss occasioned
by the fire is not very great. Files of pend
ing applications, or of patents, or Of rejected
applications, were lost or damaged, and nc
original drawings, except in very few cases
were destroyed. Those drawings destroyed
were only of one issue, September 4, 1877
and of those Photographic copies hat
been made, so that no inconvenience viii
arise from their destruction. Aconsiderablt
quantity of photographs were burned, but
of these in no cases were all copies burned
of one patent, a part of the copies having
been preserved by storage in another room
of the building, which was uninjured
There will be no interruption of thu
business of the Office. The examination o
applications viii go on as usual, and patent
will be issued without delay"

Indian E%lOquence.

The Pail Nall Gazette doubts if one of
Mr.. Joaquin Miller's Indian acquain-
tances gave utterances to such inflated
rhetoric as "The whites were strong as
the ocean, the red men like sand, help
less, silent, run upon, and swallowed
up" But this sort of grandiloquence
is familiar to Americans who have
lived on the frontier of an Indian coun-
try. When the lawyers puzzled old Red
Jacket about intricate questions of law in
relation to claims, he walked out in
front of the judge and with a piece of
chalk drew two %concentric cicles on the
floor of the court house. Passing his
walking club slowly around the outer
circle, he said: Within that boundisthe
white mans knowledge" and then de-
scribing the smaller N he said:
" Within that bound is the Indians
knowledge" and resting a moment ON
his club, he wound up his argument by
saying: "And beyond these two bounds
the Indian knows as much as the white
man."
Indian morality is often of a strange
order. A certain officer of the United
States dragons was robbed and MUIR
dered many years ago by the Potawa-
tonnes. A trial at a civiltribunal failed
to bring the offender to justice,
though every circumstance indicated
that their chief Dowagiac was the Of
fender. AT last a bright young lawyer
hit on strategem to get at the truth of
the matter. Dowagiac was sitting gaz-
ing at the judge, council and the jury,
when Mr.. W., of Detroit, sprang in an
excited name up to the chief, and
asked in a loud and imperative voice,
"Dowagiat, did you kill Captain Jefer-
sonw eyes" said the Indian solemnly,
" Dowagiac did kill Captain Jefferson,
but Dowagiac won't lie."
Indiansca brag too. Tipsyold Big Ket-
tie in the streets of Buffalo once deied
a rabble in this way: "Me's a great
fighter. Mes a big Indian; Lake Erie
my farm, big Buffalo Creek my father,
General Porter my aunt. White man
can't fight Big Kettle; too much squaw;
too much darsent."

The West.

A recent Leayenworth dispatch furnishes
the following intelligence: A report having
reached General Pope that the robbers of
the express train on the Union Pacific
Railroad were moving south, by order of
General Pope, Sheriff Beardsley, of Ellis
County, took soldiers with horses from
Fort Hayes, and started north by special
car to intercept them, as they were evil
IDENTIFY making their way to Texas or
Mexico. Near Buffalo station, which is
about ten miles west of Fort Hayes, they
got on close track of two of them-Collins
and one other. Collins attempted to shoot,
but the Sheriff was too quick for him and
shot Collins, killing him at the first fire, and
one of the soldiers shot the other. The
Sheriff took from their dead bodies about
$4,000 in gold of the stolen funds. -Four
of the other robbers are supposed to be
in that immediate vicinity, and strong
hopes are entertained of their capture.
The Chicago Tri6une's st. Paul special
says that owing to Indian Superintendent
Kimban having ordered Father Tomzin, q
Catholic missionary, to leave the White
Earth Agency, on account of a violation Of
the agency rules in putting orphan children
in his school, the priest took refuge in 9
church, rang the bell to summon the Indians
friendly to him, and with them, at last
accounts, was holding the church in armed
resistanceto the authority of Kimball. The
Indians are considerably excited, and con
sequently Kimball t~elegraphed to Fit
Smelling for aid, and probably received re
endorsements of a company of infantry
The Indians are not aggressive, but watchful
and suspicious. They have other minol
grievances which will probably necessitatt
troops remaining in the vicinity of Whit,
Earth for some time.
A telegram from Benton, Montana, say
the Nez Perees attacked the rifle pits a
Cow Island, at shutdown, on the Esd, maxim,
seven charges, aud fighting until tel
o'clock next morning, when they left
probably for Milk River. Sunday nigh
they burned the freight pile, containing
thirty tons Of government, and twenty ton
private freight. Citizens Weimer an,
Walker were wounded seriously in tn
fight. 1t is believed that the hostile
are making their way to the British
Possessions. The Sitting Bull Commission
have arrived at Benton, but owing to tn,
absence of troops necessary for an escort

SHRINK not from a woman of strong
sense; for if she becomes attached to
you, it is from seeing and viewing the
different qualities in yourself; you may
trust her, for she knows the value of
your confidence; you may consult her,
for she is able to advise and does so
at once with the firmness of reason and
consideration of affection; her love is
lasting, and it will not have been lightly
bestowed; for weak minds are not capa-
BILE of the loftiest grades of passion.

WmHoFT's FEVER AND AGUE TONIC
This medicine is used by construction COM
panies for the benefit of their employees,
when engaged in malarial districts. The
highest testimonials have been given by
contractors and by the Presidents of some
of the leading railroads in the South and
West. When men are eongregated in large
numbers in the neighborhood of swamps
and rivers, Wilholfts Tonic will prove a
valuable addition to the stock of medicines,
and will amply reward the company in the

The Latest Fashion for Ladies.

Our attention has recently been called to
the Raritan MdteLasSe Uoakings, something
entirely new in the way of heavy, thick,
warm, wooden goods, especially adapted for
ladies' wear during the cold weather now ap-
preaching. These goods are the handsomest,
and most stylish eve seen, and so far as
price is concerned, are a miracle of cheap
ness. They are intended for cloaks, sacques,
dolmans, circulars and jackets, for both
ladies and children, and are to be found at
all the leading dry good stores in the coun-
try. Be particular to ask for the RaTitaa
CtoakinqS, and take no others.

THE MODERN METHUSELAH.

Felix Rojas, of the city of Tulca,
Chill, has undoubtedly reached the age
OF 1S6 years. At an early age he en-
tered the army, in Spanish line regi-
ment. When Carlos III issued the his
toric mandate expelling the Jesuits,
Rojas took in charge two members OF
the order and carried them from Lin
ares 70 Santiago. He served forty-eight
years in the Cbilian armies. Up to
one year ago he was remarkably vigor
ous, although for ten years he has been
carried about in portable chair. For
year he has been failing rapidly, and
now seldom leaves his house, his ply
sician prescribing quiet as the only
means OF prolonging life. He smokes
pipe, and has used Tobacco steadily
for l20 years His eyes are weak now,
brit he has never used speetacles, and
is generally able to read large print.
He is not large man, beiig scarcely
five feet and five inches in height, and
never weighing over $50 pounds. He
lis remarkably well proportioned, his
head being unusually large and finely
shaped. Rojas has lived in his ripe
old age in defiance of many vicissitudes
and habits that are believed TO abbrev-
late man s term of life. From the
age OF 20 till he was 20 he was an ha-
bitual drinker, and for a long part Of
that time such &C nfirmed tippler that
his health was seriously affected, and
it was believed that he could not live
long. For sixty years he not tasted
intoxicating drinks, except as a medi-

THE Uses OF THE LEMON.

As a writer in the London Lancet re.
marks, few people know the value Of
lemon juice. 4 piece of lemon bound
upon a corn will cure it in few DAYS; il
should be renewed night and morning.
\ free use of lemon Juice and sugar will
always relieve a cough. Most people
f ell poorly in the spring, but if they
would eat lemon before breakfast every
day for week-with or without sugar
as they like-they would find il better
than any medicine. Lemon juice used
according to this recipe will sometimes
cure consumption: Put dozen lemons
into cold water and slowly bring to a
boil; boil slowly until the lemons are soft
then squeeze until al the juice is ex-
tracted; add sugar to your taste and
drink. In this way use one dozen lem
ons day. If they cause pain, or loosen
the bowels too much, lessen thequantity
and use only five or six day until you
are better, and then begin again with a
dozen a day. AT er using five or six
dozen the patient will begin to gain flesh
ana ENJOY food. Hold on to the lemons,
ana stiu use them very freely for several
weeks more. Another use for lemons
is for refreshing drink in summer, or

ture Of the water remains at a. to 30

Of the milk when poured into the pals

the sink, in this case holding ten pals,
is capable of handling 3G0 quarts of
milk in twenty four hours, since the
cream rises and is removed every en-
hours
The whole theory, which is one of
great aimpljcity, and will suggest Itself
to the practical mind at once, is that
the effect of reducing the temperature
OF the upper part Of the pail and its
contents 45 degrees de!ow that Of the
lower end Of the pail and the natural
heat of the milk, is TO re luce rapid
circulation among all the component
parts Of the fluid, Oh the Sgme principle

heated particles arise and their place !.

During this rapidly increasing circuit

specific gravity is lighter than that Of
the bulk of the milk. it remains at the
surface and accumulates much more
rapidly than it would do without this
enforced circulation.
