Indian Office Investigation.

There appears to be some misappre-
hension as to the scope of the inquir-
les to be made by the gentlemen ap-
pointed by Secretary Schurz to investi-
gate certain charges preferred against
Chief Clerk Galpin, of the Indian Office.
While it is true that the charges refer
red to led to the appointment of the
committee, it by no means follows that
the investigation will be restricted to
the alleged delinquencies of a single in
dividual. On the contrary, the COM
mittee consider themselves authorized
to probe for frauds general as well as
frauds particular, and, if necessary,
they will visit the Indian country in
order to arrive at the bottom facts of
matters now under consideration. As
already stated, the proceedings are con-
Quoted with closed doors.
The persons summoned before the
committee are interrogated under oath,
with the assurance that whatever dis.
closures they may make affecting
their own integrity will not be used tc
their official prejudice. So far, it i:
understood, no witnesses have beer
cited before the committee except EN-.
ployes of the Indian Bureau, but it is
probable that outside parties will be
called upon to tell all they know of In
dian Office crookedness, but the inves.
tigation may result in complete reor.
ganization of the Indian service.
In connection with this matter il
should be noted that Commissioner
Smith, who started on a general tour
of inspection a short time since, stop
ped short in his summer trip and hur.
ried back to Washington. A second
committee, consisting of two clerks OF
the Interior Department and one from
the Second Comptroller's office, is CON
ducting technical investigation into
the matter of keeping accounts in the
Indian Office. Between the two com
mittees the Indian Bureau should bt
so thoroughly Investigated that neither
frauds nor Irregularities nor laches OF
any kind should escape detection.

wished He Was a Bor Again.

There was business man standing
in front of the Wooster House picking
his teeth, the other morning. He was
doing this in mechanical way, as his
mind was employed upon weighty
matter. While he stood there boy
approached with bundle Of books
under his arm. He was going to school,
but wanted to go elsewhere. He saw
the business man standing in the shade,
and leisurely picking his teeth, and
then he thought Of the hot school-room
with its tasks, and of the cool woods
and fishing brooks, and groaned within
himself as he said:
81 wish was man so could do as
L pleased"
The man still stood there. He had a
note of S400 to pay before the bank
closed, and he had goods to order from
firm whom he already owed, and he
had S25 in his pocket, and no earthly
possibility of collecting 500 more
Then his eye fell upon the boy going tc
school, and he sighed and said:
''Would to heaven was boy agair
at school. :" Danbury News.

Old PompeIi's Olives"

A wine shop was lately found at
Pompeii roughly ornamented with i'm
itations of marbles and frescoes. Over
the podium of the front room runs q
band of stucco, with four groups of
scenes painted on white ground. The
first, on the left, represents young
man kissing woman dressed in yellow
garments, with black shoes. She says,
"Nolo Gym Myrta." (''I don't want to
be kissed; go to your Myrtalis. " The
second scene represents, very likely, the
same woman talking to Myrtalis, who
says, mon mia est" They both point
their fingers at third female, bringing
in wine jar and a glass. She says,
'Qui vol, symat, oceane, veni, bibe, !"
an invitation to partake of the drink.
The third scene represents two gam-
blers seated, having the chess board on
their knees, on which several latrun-
cul: are seen disposed in rows of differ
ent colors, yellow, black, white. The
one on the left sjust throwing the dice,
and says, "Evsi." ('1 won.') The
other answers, pointing to the dice,
''Non tria, days ests." ("You have
got two not three. y Both fights in the
fourth scene. One says, "Non it a me,
tria. ego. fva." csI did not throw
two but three; L have won.')
The other answers, "Orte fellator ego
fvi. -! 1 have the game.'') At this
moment the shopkeeper comes in, and,
pushing them outside, says, 'Itis, foras
rixsatis." (''Go out to quarrel.")

A Smelling Exercise.

The following is the production of u
young lady of this city-a student Of
one of the schools. 1t is a rather uni
que composition.
The Gar has sent his Cossacks into
Armenia, and they are now en- route
via Mount Ararat, to Erzeroum, while
the army of the Danube are about
crossing the river into Bulgaria, where
they will attack Silistria and, preceded
by their cavalry, proceed toward Con-
stantinople, crossing into Asia by way
of the Bosphorus, Dardanelles, or Sea
of Marmorass after sinking the Turkish
flotilla by means of torpedoes.
They will seize every Egyptian or AS
iatic Mahommedan by the trachea,
pericardium. or oesophagus, desiccate
them with the pyranidal mummies or
other esculents, pack them in mackerel
kits, and distribute them by means of
Kamschatkan peddlers to the heathenish
inhabitants of Mozambique, Abyssinia,
Ceylon, Tartary, Hindostan, Malaysia,
Polynesia, Algiers and Tripoli, in infin-
itessimal atoms by avoirdupois or
apothecary's weight. -,

Late news from Idaho, the seen

Late news from Idaho, the seem. of
the recent Indian massacre, staets that
there were more white settlers killed
than were named in the recent dis
patches. A letter says: 'The Indians
have killed every man on Salmon
river. but let women and children
live. y The reservation at Lap
wal has been s'abandoned." A WASH
ington dispatch says that Secretary of
War McCrary thinks that one cause of
the Indian outbreak in Idaho was the
small number of troops in that region.
The Indians estimate the power of the
Government by the number of soldiers
they see in the country they inhabit,
and believing that they can muster
three or four warriors to the United
States one, they are emboldened to
begin hostilities. 1t is estimated that
it will require 500 soldiers to put down
the hoStiles.

The Foe of Pain.

The friend of suffering humanity-the
enemy of disease, and the salration of
the patient brute, is MEXICAN Mus
TANG LINI,IENT. There is no sore it
will not heal, no ache or pain it will
not Danish. For accidents in the fam
lily, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts,
etc., it has no rival. 1t has saved
more human lives, and restored more
horses, oxen and other cattle, to useful
ness and profit, than all other liniments

They sneaked up the steps on tiptoe,
and before the outside doorkeeper fully
comprehended the enormity of his error
he ushered into the Presidential pres
ence Maryland delegation. When a
Maryland delegation calls on the Presi-
dent it should be borne in mind that it
is not after Office. Oh, no; not at all!
1t comes only to say that the head
quarters of the Potomac, around by the
fish banks Of the Severn, and away
down to the sands of the Eastern
''sho," the people of Maryland are en-
raptured with the policy Of the Admin
istration. Of course, if the President,
in the exuberance of his good nature
and fullness of his heart has custom
house, or post office, or naval office,
or any small token carted off
as remembrance of the visit (for
Maryland men don't go to the President
often), why-ahem-they will take it
over to "Baltimo,'' and scrape the
State with fine-tooth comb, just to see
