An exchange in speaking of the In
dian campaign, which has just resulted
iu the capture of Joseph with his entire
hostile force, after three days battle,
and a loss of fifty men on each side,
says:
This remarkable campaign in thus
apparently nearing its end. The hostil-
tiles opened early in July, west of the
Main Divide of the Rocky Mountains,
range impossible even for Indians.
Closely pursued. and defeated in sue
cessive engagements, but fighting at
every advantageous position, they have
traversed nearly 500 miles seeking to
form a junction with their Sioux allies
in the north. Our little army has been
admirably handled. Unable, like their
opponents. to live mainly on the country,
following feet-footed enemy through
vast regions intimately known only to
Indians and trappers, disheartened by
the failure of Congress to provide money
for their absolute necessities, and
abused by malicious or ignorant editors,
our soldiers have maintained their or.
ganizatiOn and efficiency in an admirable
degree. The astute military critics who
are struck with admiration of general
ship like that of Joseph and sitting Bull
would probably equally admire its ex-
act counterpart, namely, the generalship
of mouse in a room full of furniture.
1t seems impossible to get it through
the heads of these people that the Indian
is as much at home in the trackless
wilds of the West as the street Arab i:
in the slums of New York. To catch
either the Indian or the Arab is not 6
very easy undertaking, and the wonder
is that it is ever accomplished

Another spelling match took place
Friday last at the Cleveland Institute
between the boys and girls of the school.
The girls won another splendid victory.
We say "victory" because it was "vic-
tory" indeed to defeat those young
gents. They are excellent spoilers and
stood their ground extraordinarily well.
Tho young ladies have causc TO be proud
of their success. A goodly number of
vis.,Gs was present. Why not have
the spelling matches regularly? Moth

The three last boys TO take their seats
were Fred Mansfield, Horace Tipton'and

their seats were May Johnston, BoNie
