1t is not only a serious vice in itself
but tho fruitful parent of numerous

its victim is soon involved in tolls
from which it is almost impossible to

wasteful of time, .saps the business

The Ostrich.

The cry of the ostrich so greatly

such amusing scenes as we were treated to

beville, (Mr. BradlyO who is regarded by
the whole House as one OF the landmarks
of the olden time, but who has the mis-
fortune to be little deaf, was called to the
chair. This gentleman, who is filled with
quaint humor, filled the position we'll no
man in the body could have filed it better
or to the greater satisfaction of the members.
He assumed command of the gavel amidst
the roar of laughter and applause Of the
whole House, and kept them in that condi-
ton until he abandoned the chair, for pc
riod of more than an hour and a half:
All sorts of bills were introduccd-onc
to give him thousand dollars, one to ccm-
pei the Senator from Edgefeld to marry,
one to buy the Register reporter wig

unanimous vote of the House for that pur-

everlasting disgrace of the present General

THE INDIAN LANGUAGE.

We are still waging war against their
language They seem to be proud of
it, and I do not think it strange they
are 10th to give it up. A few days ago
man called to see Mr.. X. on business.
He has a good education, and speaks
good English, but he addressed one of
our boys in Sioux, for which Mr.. Kim
ball reproved him. The Indian drew
himself up proudly, looked him in the
face, and answered it ina dignified yet
very respectful manner: 'Sir, 1 speak

THE INDIAN CHILDREN.
You ask me about the progress Of our
children. I do think they learn much
more readily than white children would

one class composed of those who only
knew Il part Of the alphabet when they
came here, soon after we did. Now
they read well, in the first reader.
Perhaps you will not think this very
rapid progress, but when remember,
that only twoof the whole class could
understand or speak a single word of our
language when they came here; that
are onlyin school half of each day; that
they have so many other things to
learn, and that have spent more time
with white children with less success
feel that they are really doing we'll.
Our most advanced class III arithme
tic, is just learning division. Oliver is
u member of this class. When he came
here last August, he only knew the al
phabet, and could only count ten
Now he reads we'll. Nappa is also a
member of this class, but, poor fellow
he has to work hard for all he learns
I thought lie never would learn to di-
vide and racked my brain many days
to devise some means of making it plaif
to him. When he finally did get the
idea, you should have seen his eyes
sparkle.
