The Indian question is one Of diff.
Guilty to solve. The experience aud
observation of the few years last past
has convinced thousands that the res
ervation system has its serious ohiec-
tions, and to some minds these object
ions are fatal to securing the real good
of the Indian himself, to say nothing of
the evils which are entailed upon the
settlers IN proximity as we'll as the
enormous expense they are to the
government We have before stated
our views of the size of the Nez Perce
reservation, compared with the mum
Der of the Indians to occupy the lands.
We are credibly Informed by men who
know well many Of the leading Indians
now remaining upon the reserve and,
who have talked much with them in
regard to their attachment to the reser-
vaIion system, and the keeping up of
their tribunal relations, and they cx-
press much Dissatisfaction wi the res.

ways suspected by them when they go
off the reservation.
They say that they do not want all
the land of the reservation, that they
cannot use it, and they much rather
that the whites would settle upon por-
tons of it aud cultivate it than to have

from it, and they themselves do not,
but that they can learn by seeing how
the white men manage their lands.
They do not object to the white mans
laws and are willing to be governed by

Indians shows that they are shrewder

RABBITS IN NEW ZEALAND.

1t has been calculated that, from the

of their progeny, and the early age at
which the young begin TO reproduce
their species, a pair OF rabbits will null

absence Of enem es, the sparse pOpula-

of food which they can obtain it is not
surprising that they have increased
enormously.
The matter, indeed, is becoming one OF
very great danger to the welfare OF the
