A st. Louis dispatch under the
same date says that the cut in rail-
way passenger rates to the east is be-
coming quite interesting here as W. II
as elsewhere. To-day the Vandalia
line cut from $15 to SO to New
York, and was Immediately followed
by the Wabash. Tomorrow it is likely
as great or greater reduction will be
made. So far neither the Ohio Il
Mississippi, Indiana & st. Louis, Chica-
cago & Alton or Illinois Central has
made any cut.
INDIANS WANT NO ARMY CONTROL.
A st. Louis telegram under date Of
November 10th says that Congressman
Boone, of Kentucky, and Hooker, Of
Mississippi, members of Senator San
ders' committee to examine and re-
port on the advisability Of transferring
the Indian bureau to the war depart
ment, returned here. yesterday, from
an extended trip in the west, and left
for Washington last night.
Judge Boone said that very thor
ough investigation Of the subject has
been made and large amount of tes-
tlmony taken, but the committee
would not reach a decision till after adj
ditional testimony is taken at Washing
ton. AS a rule, army officers believed
that transfer would be beneficent to
the Indians and for tie good of the
country, but they did not desire the in
creased responsibility and labor which
would be thrown upon them, and some
of them opposed it on this account.
Nearly all the citizens of the west, es-
pecially those on the Pacific slope, ia
vored the transfer as it would effect
great saving in the expense and estab-
fish much more honest administra-
ton of the Indian affairs. 1t would also
break up all rings which had been spec
ulating for years upon the misfortunes
Of both the Indians ami the govern
ment. The Indians generally were OPP
posed to the transfer, they preferring
to remain under the control of the in
terror department. Some desired to be
let alone, declaring that if the govern
ment would allot them land in several
ty and give them start, they could
take care of themselves.

FARMERS SHOULD THINK.-There is no
business with which l am acquainted
which affords greater scope for thought,
or which is more provocative of reilec-
ton, than farming. The careful farmer
must be daily meeting with subjects
which challenge thought and require
the most profound study. Farmers
ought to be the most thoughtful class of
people in the country. The balancing
of cause and effect in business where
in thousand causes are operating de-
mands more thought and more phil
osophical mind than any other business
whatever. 1t is possible for farmers to
get into the ruts, and go in the beaten
track year after year, without thought;
but such farmers are not successful, and
each year are becoming less so. When
ever farmer gets out of the ruts-
ceases to do things because it has always
been the practicable necessarily has
to think. 1t is pretty safe to say that
such farmers will be sure to want all
the agricultural books and papers they
can get. And as thinking men ulti-
mately must always supplant those who
do not think, the problem how farming
is to be made successful and the farmer
more honored, will be settled, as so
many like problems have been, by the
Darwinian law" the survival OF the

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Interesting Account OF His Baptism
al Naples.
New York EVENING POST

New York Evening Post.
In seconding the resolutions which
were adopted by the Massachusetts,
historical society on the occasion Of
Mr.. Bryant's death, the Rev. Robert G.
Waterson paid an eloquent tribute to
the genius and character of the poet,
recounting many incidents which had
occurred during the speakers long
intimacy with Mr.. Bryant, The ad-
dress, together with an appendix, is
now published in pamphlet form, en-
titled Tribute to William Cullen
Bryant" Mr.. Waterson has recounted
many incidents, small in themselves,
but worthy in theii significance as illus
trations of Mr.. Bryant's character and
habits. He enjoyed Mr.. Bryant's
friendship and was with him frequently
at Cummington and Roslyn, and in
Europe. Among the interesting mat
tiers in the address is the account of
Mr.. Bryants baptism, of which we be-
lieve the public have never before
heard. 1t was at Naples, and Mr..
Waterson says:
Anxiously watching as he had been
doing, in that twilight boundary be-
tween this world and another, over one
more precious to him than life itself,
the divine truths and promises had
come home to his mind with new
force. He stated that he had never
united himself with the church, which,
with his present feelings, he would most
gladly do. He then asked if it would
be agreeable to me to come to his
room on the morrow and administer
the communion, adding that, as he had
not been baptized, he desired that ordi-
nance at the same time. The follow
ing day was the Sabbath, and most
heavenly day. In the fulfillment of
his wishes, in his own quiet room. a
company of seven persons celebrated
the Lords supper. With hymns, Sc
lections from the Scripture and de-
votional exercises, we went back in
thought to the large upper room
where Christ first instituted the holy
supper in the midst of his disciples.
Previous to the breaking of the bread
William Cullen Bryant was baptized.
With snowwhite head and flowing
beard, he stood like one of the ancient
prophets, and perhaps never since the
age Of the apostles has truer disciple
protested allegiance to the Divine
Master
