the FOURTH Of JULY on THE SKn-
KDRllSH RESERVATION.

In the morning the Indians be-
gan with Fourth Of JuIv breakfast
about two miles from the Agency.
Then all went to the Agency to the
Church, where there was little
speech-making and singing by the
whites on the reservation, after
which four couple were married,
thus taking a new step III civilization.
Next all returned two miles to the
feast ground, where they had pre-
pared a long table and seats, and
with stove near by on which to
warm the tea and coffee and the like,
and with full supply Of dishes, all
seemed to enjoy the dinner as much
as whites, They pitched IA tent near
by to which they invited the whites
on the reservation to come and bring
their lunch and eat it. After this
there was more speechmaking and
some horse racing. A number OF
Indians from within fifty miles were
present. A CHIEF step forward, this
year, has been that the Indians have
taken upon themselves the lead i'll
all this work. Heretofore they have
had dinners, with the Agent to di.
rect, but this year they have done
the work and paid the bills. Flags
and fre-crackers were very abund

Has come to sad distress.
The editor is arrested,
His ability contested
To conduct local paper,
Or, ne commentator.
Not Of truth particle
IL there in an article
He has ever published.
Now, he "went for" Gov. Ferry;
Wise-it was not very,
For he will have to go to Jail
Ifhc cannot get his bail.
But experience, to a fool,
Is indeed a healthy school.
'Tis a medical prescription
OF the very best description,
Nothing better-'non est inventus."
There were "Minor" objections,
In the editors reflections

There are dog days with some men:
And, not one is there in ten,
If he bites, but what is bitten;
His courage thereby smitten,
He retres 'lite pendcnte."

III we DO not err greatly, the Continental
kingdoms OF Europe cannot possibly per-
NIT war between Russia and England over
the Eastern question. Should either OF
those nations win triumph in such q war
tho interests Of Continental Europe would
be greatly complicated. Germany regarded
the Crimeau war with great disfavor and
sullenness. So did Austria. There are no
new considerations why either nation
should be better pleased to contemplate
conflict that might give increased power IN
tho East to England, or which might COM
plicate Continental interests with regard to
Russian expansion. Continental diplomacy,
we think, will prevail, and there vii! be no
war. The end will be that Lord BEAcoSs.

The Atlanta Constitution, for the benefit
Of the General Conference, gives the loi-
lowing sketch of Richmond bishop:
BISHOP DAVID SETH DoGGETT
was born, in Virginia in 1910. He was an
early convert, and when nineteen years OF
age applied for admission into the Virginia
Conference. For two years he travelled
through two circuits, and was then sent TO
Petersburg. HeYery soon confirmed his re-
putation' rs man OF power and ability, ana
therefore regularly filed the most important
posts in the Virginia Conference. In 1851
he was appointed pastor Of Randolph Macon
College, and inSlS62 was made professor OF
English literature in that institution. After
serving here for five years he returned to
field-seryice and resumed charge OF the
leading Dastora:es OF the State. From 1880
to 1854 he was the editor Of the Quarterly
Reuiesc, and made that periodical power
in the land. For two years after This ne
served at Washington city, and was then
made presiding elder OF the Richmond CIR
cult. During the most exciting period OF
the war lie was stationed at Richmond Urom
1862 10 1861. At the General Conference
OF this larter year he was elected bishop
the universal verdict being that he deserved
the post that was given him. ana tnat he
honored the Office while it honored him.
Bishop Doggett is supposed to be the au-
thor of the bishops quadrennlal aduress.
