scHURz INTERVIEWED.

Washington, Dec. 29.--Representa,ive
Bedford of Colorado had an Interesting in.
tervlew with Secretary Schurz today on
the Indian question, and especially with
references TO the failure of the Utes TO deliv-
er up those engaged in the Meeker massa-
ere, which failure, has occAsioned some I'M
easlness at the interior department. Gen.
Hatch had telegraphed that he would bring
live chiefs from the southern agency to
Indian creek and wanted to know whether
he should bring them to Washington. This
telegram led to the interview. Judge Bel
ford was in favor Of bringing them on in
the hope that they might agree to the re.
moval OF the tribe to the Uintah reserva-
non and the secretary was of the same opin-
ion. The present relation of the Indians to
the treaty was then discussed. 1t was con-
ceded that the hostile White river Utes had
forfeited their treaty rights and were TO be
dealt with as though no treaty had ever
been made with them. Judge Bedford,
however, took the more advanced position
that the tribe should be treated az a unit.
He argued that they refused as a tribe to
deliver up the Indians eng Jagged in the mas
sacre, and that, although all were not origi.
nally concerned in the war on Thornburgh
and the massacre at the agency, they were
accessories before the fact, and were as
guilty as the original participants. The
secretary, in reply, said he would make a
careful study of the treaty and zee if it was
possible that the treaty required the tribe 10
deliver up those making war, and that a
failure to do 80 abrogated the treaty. Both
agreed that these Utes should be removed
to the ulntah reservation across the border
line of Colorado in the Utah territory, and
that II they were not removed trouble would
be likely to occur in the spring. 1t is quite
possible that if the Indians refuse to agree
TO a peaceful removal the government will
compel them to 20. During the interview
a portion Of the official correspondence on
this subject was read and Judge Bedford
thereupon remarked that the secretary had
made a great mistake in not publishing it
at the time it was had, and said it would
have relieved the secretary from considera-
BILE censure that he thought was undeserved.
Representative Conger of Michigan stated
to-day that he intends to renew the argu-
men,ative %conflic, when the question again
comes up in the house. He also said that
the papers in Colorado did not sustain Con-
gresham Belford's view ofthe subject ; that
they were opposed to the removal of the
Utes, and that when the discussion is re-
sumed he will have them on hand and read
from them. The indications are that the
debate will be bitter and acrimonious.

The abnormal increase of the burden
some classes in our charitable and insane
institutions, especially of late years, has
directed the attention of the State Board
of Charities to the matter. The outcome
of their investigation is the conviction
that crippled, idiotic, blind and lunatic
persons are exported from Europe to
this country, where they remain in city,
county and State asylums rs lifelong
tenants at public expense. No one OBJ.
jects to the arrival here of able-bodied
persons, no matter how poor. for it has
been and is our boast that we offer
homes and employment for the poor
from every cline, industrious and vigor-
Gus citizens adding to the wealth of any
nation; but making this country d
Botany bay for chronic invalids and our
people supporters of those whose legiti-
mate claims for expensive care and sup
port for life originate thousands of miles
away is mockery of public home char
ity too apparent to need any argument.
The New York State Board of Charities
has done wisely in calling attention to
this growing evil, and we hope that n
sentiment against it will be aroused that
will result in some effective means ol
arresting it.--Albany Aryus.

CuriOsities of the Fairs.

Jockeys are the boys who generally
suffer in life and limb at fairs, but Mis-
souri, offers tragedy in which booth
keeper is the victim While Senator
Cockrell was delivering an address at
the Saline county fair, at Marshall, the
cry of MURDER was raised and the
great crowd broke away from around the
orator to pour down upon booth kept
by Robert Montague. A man by the
name of Fisher had quarreled with
Montague and stabbed him to the heart
with dirk. There was the most intense
excitement among the 5000 people pres
ent.
At tile Fulton (Wis) fair the most
valuable COW on exhibition keeled over
and gave up the ghost. The cattle doc
tors all gathered around the animal and
made post mortem examination in
public. The cause of death, wonderful
to relate, was found to have been hair
pin in the beasts heart. The remains Of
the girl who perhaps went down with
the pin were not discovered.
The novelty during the early days of
the Bourbon county (Ky.) fair was a
baby show. The Cincinnati Enquirer
dispatch, which chronicles the fact that
w Il OOuplstuOt, VI 1CstllN lllc, OOIOlduO,
won the prize, adds; At the time of
the tying the ribbon it seemed as though
several fights were imminent among the
mothers ofthe kids who were ertered.n
At the Wisconsin State fair John Nc
Cullough, the tragedian, recited from
Julius Caesar, Othello and other plays
for the benefit Of the rustics. There
was ballon ascension, also.
1t was SO cold at the Minnesota State
fair that an old-fashioned backlog fire
in the lumberman's camp was the most
popular attraction to the blue-nosed
sight-seers.
Brilhancy was given to the domestic
department of the Minnesota fair by
covering the tables alternately with red,
white and blue cloths.
A coin collection, in which all ages
and nations were represented, was the
curiosity at the Toledo (Ohio) tri-State
fair.
Among the attractions to garner the
shekels at the St. Paul (Minn. } fair was
Captain Bogardus, the crack shot.
In his ascension from an Ohio fair the
other day an aeronaut took up a live
colt.
Many farmers were encamped in army
tents on the Iowa State fair grounds.
The novelty at the Decatur (lll.) fair
was 400-yard foot race.
Beer was banished from the Michigan
State fair grounds.

A Fathers Sacrifice.

Not a great while since a prominent
physician of Denver, Col. was called to
attend patient in the last stages of
what appeared to be consumption, but
which, upon examination. proved to be
simply a wearing away of life decay
of the energies of mind and body. Al
though well supplied with money, the
stranger was seemingly without friends
or relatives. He wrote no letters and
received none. An alien to the tender
ness and charities which sanctify the
affections, he seemed to be drifting out
of the world, in which, for him, all the
flowers Of the heart had perished-a
bleak and desolate old man, fastening
out of the sunshine into the winter of
the grave. After making a thorough
examination of the case, the doctor told
him that although he could find no or
ganized disease, yet he was dying.
:. know it, replied the patient.
But have you no idea of what brought
you to this plightp" inquired the inter-
ested man of science.

The Finest Diamond in the World.

France p opposes to sell her crown
jewels. Among them is the Regent, the
tinests sof the great known diamonds Of
the world. There are several that are
larger in the royal treasures of Europe,
and there are some few that are more
valuable, but there are none so beautiful.
Almost perfect is this peerless stone in
all respec S. In shape, cutting, luster
and color ii may be pronounced fault
less, were it not for small and almost
imperceptible spot, which is visible to
the eye of an expert when the stone is
taken from its setting.
The history of the Regent shows
through what varied adventures the his
toric gems of the world have generally
passed. Found in the mines of Col
conda, it originally formed one of the
eyes of a famous idol placed in the pa
CODA of Chandermagose, in Bengal.
Stolen mysteriously by some unknown
adventurer, it passed from hand to hand
until it became the property of Thomas
Pitt, the grandfather of the great Earl Of
chatham, that gentleman havirg pur-
chased it from jewel merchant while
in India for the sum of $62, 500. The
Duke of Orleans, when Regent Of France,
bought for So, 200. Louis XIV. and
LOQlS AF l. WOl6 IL Ill Uil6ll HIS Nd
poleon l. caused it to be set in the hilt
of his sword. For long time, during
the consulate and first empire. this
precious diamond was held in pledge by
the state banker, NJ Vanlerberghe
Whilst it was in his possession he
adopted novel method of keeping it
safely. His wife used to wear it con-
stantly sewed up in belt, while the
wary banker exhibited to the eyes of
the curious fine fac-simile in paste of
the celebrated gem. During the second
empire it formed the crowning Jewel OF
splendid diadem of antique form, en-
tirely composed of diamonds, which
the beautiful empress wore on all grand
occasions of public festivity. Those
who have ever beheld this peerless
stone blazing like star above that fair
brow have never forgotten the sight.
A full inventory of the crowned jewels
of France was taken in 1871 by order of
the National Assembly. Therein the Re-
gent is described as ga superb white
brilliant of square form, with rounded
corners, weighing l36 carats, and valued
at twelve millions offrancs (S2, 400, ,OOO."
The great diamonds of the world are
generally ugly and lusterless, as witness
the Koh-i-noor. 1t is on.y the great
French diamond that shows as regal in
its beauty as in its size and value.

Preparing for the Census.

The superintendent of the Census Bu-
reau at Washington has issued circu-
lar in relation to the office of enumera-
tor under the Census law, in which the
duties of that office are defined, and
other information in regard to the dis
charge of these duties is given. The du-
ties in the main are identical with those
of assistant marshal under the last three
censuses, but the provisions of the law
regarding the. time and the size of the
enumeration districts make the Office diff
fer widely from the former. Under the
old law subdivisions were limited to
10000 inhabitants, while by the present
law they are limited to 1900, and will
be generally confined to a single town
where the number may be even less.
By the old law, from June l to Nov.
was allowed for the enumeration. while
under the present statute it is required
to be made in June, and in cities of more
than 10000 Inhabitants in two weeks
from the first Monday in june The
enumerator cannot exceed 300, as only
one months time is allowed, and the
pay not to exceed 81 day.
1t is expected that enumerators will
work in their own immediate locality,
knowing and known to most of those
they enumerate, without incurring
travelling expenses in a majority of cases,
and that in many instances the work
can be done without materially inter
tering with their other vocations, so
that a more competent class of enum-
orators may be secured. Township as
SCISSORS and other local officers, post
masters at small offices, ETC., are sug-
gested as men likely to perform the work
faithfully and intelligently. Country
physicians within the circuit of their
usual practice would. it is thought, often
make excellent enumerators Their
knowledge of vital conditions, their ap-
probation of the Importance of trust
worthy statistics, together with their
knowledge of the history of families,
would combine to make returns alike of
deaths and Of the living population from
officers of this class especially valuable.
There would also be the practical con-
sideration that men of this profession
are as rule already mounted, and their
service in the capacity of enumerators
would involve no expense whatever for
outfit. Schoolmasters have been found
in England among the best qualified
enumerators. Accustomed to keep lists
and make reports, almost uniformly ac-
curate in accounts, trained in punctu-
ality and precision, and accustomed to
enforce them upon others, the teacher,
within his school district, would gener-
ally do his work rapidly, neatly and ac-
curately.
