OF course, too rich to expect the Indians to
give up their poor cattle, ponies and their old

Bull that II he desired to stop hostilities peace
would be made which would end all trouble
between the whites and Indians When the
Indians give up their ponies and guns they
will receive cattle and other property of
great value in place. When peace is made

CONCERT AT BLIND INSTITUTE.

The entertainment last night by the pupils
OF the Blind Institute, under the direction
of DR.. Langley and his accomplished
daughters, was a musical and literary treat
to all who had the good fortune to be pres
ent. The exercises in vocal and instrument
tai music, dialogues, Rotations, and
readings from raised print, were all entered
into with zest by the pupils, and were high
ly appreciated by the audience, which
included many members of the Legislature.
The recitation of ''Hagar in the Wilderness"
by Florence Graves was alone worth going
very long distance to hear.
The only drawback TO the general success
of the evening was the insufficient accom-
modations for visitors. We hope the concert
will be repeated at Angeles Hall where
the public generally may have an opportu-
nifty of witnessing the great proficiency
which the pupils of our Institute for the
Blind are making in literature and music.
The force of the very earnest appeal
of the Trustees and Superintendent of
this Institution, for more suitable
home for our unfortunate blind, was
apparent to all who were persent at
the concert last night, and will be still
more evident to any of our Legislators who
will take the trouble to examine the premi-
ses. The building is old and dilapidated,
and being of wood, is especially unsafe for
the blind. We were pleased to hear several
Senators and Representatives express them
selves in favor of immediate action in this
matter. And in this connection, we under
stand that the Helm property, near the Bap-
fist Church, could now be purchased on
favorable terms, and the location and build
ings would be suitable. The present In.
stitute property could be sold FOR residence
lots, and would contribute materially to-
wards the purchase of the Helm property,
or any other that might be found suitable.
The insane and the deaf and dumb, are well
provided for. Now let our blind have a
safe and comfortable home, and large enough
to shelter and educate scores of others who
are now kept from the institution for the
want of room.
