End of the ShinnecOck Race.

The flower of the manhood of the small remnant of the Shinnecock tribe were lost off the Circassian, and with their death the tribe dies out. All that now remain of the Shinnecock people are old men and women and the forlorn widows of the unfortunate fellows who were swallowed up by the sea. These Indians were, physically, magnificent men, four of them being over six feet in height. They were notorious in all the eastern end of Long Island for their thrift, fugality and honesty; and, as sailors, they had no rivals A few weeks ago letter was received at the reserva- ton, about twelve miles west of Bridge hampton, from New Bedford, Mass, ask ing for a crew for whaling vessel: The more domestic minded of the men re- fused to. leave their families, and only two men answered the call. Poor fel- lows their hopes of homely comforts fell short of their anticipation. Their recent homes on the reservation are to- day scene of mourning. Dissolution has settled on the place, and every house. hold mourns the loss Of some relative of blood or affinity.
 Many of the families have lost their only bread winner, and tie prospects of the future are indeed dreary. The Wal ker family have lost two members. The two brothers Cufee are gone, and first cousin with them. The old folks have still one son left, and are consequently not as badly off as the Walkers. The whole male line of the Bunns is extin- guished, and only twelve young men are left of the tribe The white residents of the neighborhood express great regret at the loss of these Indians, who were re- spected and trusted by all who knew them

elected by the Regents Of the West Virginia
University, on Friday Of list week, President
Of tina, institution The Wheeling Register is
not complimentary in its remarks upon this
choice of candidates. II speaks Of the gentle
man as a sensational preacher, with good
deal of superficial gloss about his style Of ora
tory" and possesses neither that dignity nor
ripe scholarship which is ordinarily regarded
as essential in position Of such high dignity. y
Capt. ". n. Mcdonald, Principal Of the
Louisville, ,Ky) High School, and formerly Of
this town, was an applicant, and Of him the
Register speaks m0re favorably, as follows:
Mr. Mcdonald, although young mnn-
not younger, however, than Mr. Thompson
is a scholar Of rare attainments, professional
teacher. and holds Ugh position as an educa-
tor in the city Of Louisville"
The Register hopes that Mr.. Thompson
may prove to be worthy of the conf lence re-
posed in him by the Board, and may yet justi-
fly the wisdom of their appointment. We are
willing to give the young man a chance. -
Such " chance as the Register gtuigingly
gives him is almost the value Of throw Of dice
