Brown, Of OssawwatOmie, during his inn

In one Of his letters, dated Washing
ton, February, 1868, Mr.. Dickens says,
Il dined with Charles Sumner on sun
day, he having been an old friend OF
mine. Mr. Secretary Stanton (war
minister was there. He is man of q
very remarkable memory, and famous
for his acquaintance with the minutest
details of my books. Give him any pas
sage anywhere and he will instantly cap
it and 90 on with the context. He was
commander-in-chiefo of all the Northern
forces concentrated here, and he never
went to sleep at night without first read
inc something from my books, which
were always with him. | put him
through Il pretty severe examination,
but he was better up than | was.

She saws of her own tribe: "We have
an annuity Of about IS or - apiece, and
the agent invests it for rs in what the
Government thinks we need. 1t is our
money. 1t was the price OF our land.
For example, some years ago, when Mr..
J. J. Gillingham was our agent, he went
and had an intirmary built. 1t cost
5000, and was paid for out OF our
money. We did not need II. We dId
not want il. IL was never occupied,
till at last some white people who had
no homes went into il. Indians, when
they are sick, are taken care OF by their
friends. They would not 20 into an
infrmarv. This is only one case OF the
utter disregard that has always been
shown the wishes of the Indians by men
who handle their money!
The striking stove moulders OF New
Albany, Ind, propose to 90 into buSi-
ness on the cooperative plan. This
resolution is much wiser than that
which led To the strike. When body
of workmen feel that they are not re-
ceiving a Just rccOmpense tor their SER
vices, and cannot, 10y ordinary reasoning,
persuade their employers SO, the best
course, i'm every practicable situation, IS
10 form cooperative association, and
90 TO work on their own account. They
may. i'm some cases, fail, after running a
short time, hut failure should not
weaken confidence i'm the cooperative
principle, for business conducted on this
plan is subject 10 the same vicissitudes
rs individual enterprises. Cooperative
stove foundrips have succeeded well IN
several of our manufacturing towns, and
some of them have been running a mum
Der of wears. There are many other
kinds Of manufacturing that have sue
ceeded on the cooperative plan, and
branches vet untried would, doubtless,
result rs well II is one OF the most sat
isiactorv remedies for strikes that can be
applied.-imricGu NnchWja.
