How TO FIGHT THE INDIANs.-The vi
gorous Indian policy we want Is to allow
the frontier people, who have been living
all their lives in close contact with the
Indians, and understand and appreciate
their proverbial bad faith, to organize
for a campaign that will not be hamper
ed by the formalities OF the War Depart
ment. Our army. as far as it goes, is well
enough; but it never has understood the
way to fight the Indians Indian agents
are always making promises to their red
allies and always breaking them, and the
Indians closely follow their example.
We have had some good, determined In
dian fighters in our army, like Colonel
Boone and Colonel Steen, who knew the
Indians, and knew how to manage them.
They always kept faith with them, and
required the same conduct from their
savage foes in return, and when that
was not observed the punishment was
condign and speedy.

THE WASTE OF TIME.-It is a great pity
that men in this country have, within the
last three or four decades, learned to de-
pend upon societies to keep up wages and
corporations TO give them employment.
In all governments dependent upon the
will of the governed, intelligence is sup
posed to be general. and, therefore, those
who support such governments compe-
tent to take care OF themselves. But un-
fortunately European ideas have crept in
and men here do not rely so much upon
themselves as formerly. This is a great
mistake. Men sheuld always rely upon
themselves II they expect to govern them
selves. 1t is too frequently the case that
men who could easily put in their time in
laboring for them mselves will not do II, but
go about complaining that they cannot get
work. Every journeyman carpenter and
bricklayer should reflect upon this matter
when they have work, and prepare to put
up house for themselves when they hap
pen to be out of work. A great deal of time
that might be utilized by mechanics is was
ted and the number of this great class of ex-
cellent men and useful citizens who are out
OF employment is greatly augmented for
are confident that there are thousands of
such men now in Philadelphia who are
competent and fully able to build houses
for themselves If they would, and thus put
TO useful purpose the time that is lost in
ldleness. II is a misfortune that so much
time OF citizens and skilled workmen is
thrown away 1t is a national and a mu-
hlclpal as well as a personal loss. The

HARPRR,sg MAGAZINE FOR SEP

Harper's Magazine for Septem Der is dts
tinguished, not only BY the beauty Of its IL
lustrations-- which there are nearly one
hundred-and the interest which attaches
TO every article in its contents, but also by
its remarkable variety - touching upon
every field with which It Is possible for a
magazine to concern itself
For lovers OF natural scenery there are
the admirably well illustrated papers on
Prince Edward Island and Mount Shasta
the latter being description by John Muir
of a snow storm ON the top ofthe mountain,
especially interesting to scientific readers,
while it is full of striking incident and eff
fective pictures covering every phase OF
Mount Shasta scenery.
The scientific reader has also DIR. John w
Draper's exceedingly Interesting paper on
thermometers, with nineteen illustra tions.
For those interested in art, there is Mrs
Helen 8. Conant's well-considered and en-
tertaining paper on the domestic and Ar
tistic Life of Tllden," with seventeen effec-
tive engravings.
Especially timely are three papers devot-
ed to commercial and Industrial interests.
The fl st of these entitled "The landing OF a
Ship" is q beautifully illustrated article,
not only explaining every process suggest
ed by the title, but also investing the sub
ject with the poetic associations inseparably
connected with the greatest commercial
mart on this continent. Edward How
lands thoughtful paper, entitled "A Rail-
road Study, !" will commend Itself to every
reader as appropriate to the present crisis
bringing prominently In view the oftenfor-
gotten interests of the stockholders and ag
ricultural producers in connection with the
railroad. In a brief paper entitled "Amer-
lean Workmen from European Point o.
View" the Rev. Leonard w. Bacon pre-
sents some facts as surprising as they are
gratifying.

A JERSEY correspondent informs us of a
basket of potatoes, raised near Riverton, N u.
j., the average weight of each tuber in
which was over pound. Thirty-nine of
these potatoes filled the basket (two pecks
and half.) They are handsome enough
to be classed as ornamental fruit. 1t will
be Of interest to housekeepers TO know that
these potatoes are of the variety called
EARLY Rose" Their recommendation is
that they ripen early and, in eating them,
the consequences of eating immature veg
etables are escaped. For winter SUPPLY a
second crop, equally good, is raised -
