Gen. MILES INTERVIEWED.
An Indian Fighter On the Red Mans Sit.
uAtkOM.
From the ST. Paul (Minn.) Globe. !

From the ST. Paul (Alinn.) GlobeI
''Civilization, General; can AL Indian BE-
civilized!"
"Why not? The trouble has been that oul
people want to smother him with it, and will
not permit him to come at it gradually. Not
taking it as we prescribe, we nave carried on
| cruel, relentless war of determination
against the Indian. Since the days of King
Phillip, 200 years ago, we have followed the
same plan; have learned nothing"
Gen. Miles then explained his scheme fOr
the redemption and civilization of the aborig.
ines; ''the pastoral" plan The General was
the first officer who ever recommended that
the Indian should be treated according to ma
ture. He was savage--the first step in the
grade OF improvement was to make him q
herdsman; from that he could be inducted
into agriculture and other progressive arts.
The pastoral plan has been tried with enl-
inent and unvaried success in several instan-
ces. The Navajos, Of New Mexico, are a
pastoral and even manufacturing people.
Among some of the Cheyennes their ponies
have been sold, the proceeds invested in cat
tie, and they take great interest in their stock.
Gen. Miles has adopted the same plan with
his captives-Nez Perces, Bannocks, Chey-
ennes and Sioux-at Fort Keogh. They are
contented. 1t is no degradation for an In
dian ''to tend" stock, but bis soul revolts at
the handling of hoe.
1.-The British Government seems to &c
along with the natives pretty well?"
''That is easy of explanation: they have
this advantage-their country is not subject
to the tide of emigration which ours has. The
Indian there is comparatively unmolested.
Then they have fixed policy. Their officials
are not changed. Once declare the law and
ten years after it remains the same. In that
time each tribe of our Indians is supervised
by as many agents, each with new version
of how the Indian ought to be managed.
Here Gen. Miles took occasion to allude to
the present policy of the Indian Bureau. The
Indian country was districted off and each
section allotted to some Christian denOmina-
ton. Scarcely" remarked the General ''in
accordance with the general policy and ira
dition of our Government, the separation of
Church and State.' He believed this policy
a failure, and formed his opinion from the
frequency of the wars which had arisen un-
der this ''moral force idea" The agents
which they had to deal, and imbued with the
idea that it was their church business, and
their church and its ideas must be their guild

people, but savages.
General, where is Sitting Bull?"
''Hes over the line. He is ready enough
to remain there. Owing to the great fuss
made over him on this side of the line ne is
man of importance there, and is treated very
well, with distinguished consideration Some
of the people have expressed a willingness to
return and surrender their ponies and arms;
but they don't want to 60 back to their Agen-
cies."

What Won.

l gave her a rose ard gave her q ring, and
asked her to marry me then, but she sent
them all back, the insensible thing, and said
she'd no notion of men. I told her had
oceans of money and goods, tried to frighten
her bad with growl, but she answered she
at the screech of an owl. l called her bag
gage and everything bad, slighted her fea-
lures and form; till length succeeded in
getting her mad, and she ragged like the sea
in storm. And then in moment turned
and smiled, and called her my angel and all; /;
she fell in my arms like wearisome child.
and exclaimed, 1--WE will marry this Fall. !"

The Philosophers Stone Found at Last

Mr.. Norman Lockyer has realized the al
chemists dream, the transmutatiOn of metals.
In the presence of small party of scientific
men Mr.. Lockyer, by the aid of powerful
voltaic current, volatalized copper within a
glass tube, dissolved the deposit formed with.
in the tube in hydrochloric acid, and then
showed, by means of the spectroscope that the
solution contained no longer copper, but an.
other metal, calcium, the base of ordinary
lime. The experiment was repeated with
other metals, and with corresponding results.
Nickel was thus changed into cobalt, and
calcium into strontium. All these bodies, as
is well known, have ever been regarded as
elementary-that is, as incapable of being re-
solved into any components, or of being
changed one into another. 1t is on this basis
that all modern chemistry is founded, and
should Mr.. Lockyer's discovery bear the test
try will require revision. The future posi-
bilites of the discovery it is difficult to limit.
The great object of the old alchemists was,
of course, to transmute base metals into gold,
and so far as our knowledge goes there is no
reason why copper should not be changed in
to gold as we'll as into calcium. The means
at present employed are obviously more cost
ly than any possible result can be worth but
this is necessarily the case with most scienti-
fic discoveries, before they are turned into
commercial facts. Mr.. Lockyer is one of
our best living spectroscopists, and no man
with reputation such as his would risk the
publication of so startling q fact as he has just
announced to the scientific world without the
very surest grounds. He is known by his
friends as somewhat sanguine, and he does
not pretend to be an accomplished chemist,
but he was supported yesterday by some of
our leading chemists, all of whom admitted
that the results of his experiments were mex
plicable on any other grounds but those ad-
mitting of the change of one element into an
other, unless, indeed, our whole system of
spectrum analysis is to be upset, the other
horn of a very awkward dilemma. Since
hundred years ago Priestly discovered oxygen
and founded modern chemistry there has been
there could be-no discovery made which
would have such an affect on modern science
as that the so-called elements were no longer
to be considered elementary.

COMING HOME.


They come! they come!
Uprising from the salty wave,
Descending from the mountain top,
Emerging from the Mammoth Cave,
Perspiring from the hotel hop
Glad to get home!
They come. they csme!
From skimped and scan rural fare.
From tolls and pains that pass for fun,
From where malaria loads the air,
And where all night from sun to sun
Mosquitoes hum.
They come! they come!
From where the mountains lift their heads,
Until their tops the clouds eclipse,
From somber lakes in tranquil beds,
Pine fragrance on their hair and lips
And Medtord rum.
They come! they come!
From forests wild and deserts waste,
From summer haunts beside che sea,
From shrines of fashion, wealth and taste,
With talk that makes us long to be
Among the dumb
They come! they come!
One of thousand fishers fair,
With tempting bait of charming eyes,
Has caught and GATED her fish with care,
And brings husband as prize
One worth plum
Ihey come! tney come!
On reefs of rail the pillows break,
And Saratogas strew the way,
AS hOmeward now their course they take;
And fathers, while the bills they pay,
Grow grim and grum.
They come! they come!
They fly like clouds of autumn leaves,
or swallows when the day is wet,
And bring to us their summer sheaves
Of health and pain, Of joy and debt
'Tis so with some.
They come! they come!
In sadness some, and some in smles,
To pleasant homes and busy shops,
To daily tolls and latest styles,
To concerts, theaters and hops
Glad to get home! IN. Y. World.

[FrOm the Husbandman.]

(FrOm the Husbandman.]
A. McGregor is in town this week from his
ranch on Haymakel's creek, Muscleshell val
ley. He has just completed his sheep sheds
which are $50 feet long, with wings 140 feet
long, and 40 feet deep, covered with hay.
We are glad to note the return of our es-
teemed friend, Worcester Fox. Mr.. Fox
left here September last, since which time he
visited friends and relatives in number of
states, spending the greater part of his time
in Massachusetts. 1t was his first visit home
for 81 years.
The temperance lecture delivered Friday
evening last by Rev: John Armstrong, pastor
of the NJ E. Church, Helena, was well re-
ceived. The announcement was only made
on the day previous, yet there was a good
audience. Mr.. Armstrong is fluent speaker,
and his illustrations of the baneful effects of
intoxicating drinks was very forcible. At
the close of his lecture he called upon the
audience to take stand then and there, for
or against this noble cause. Those who
would sign the simple pledge of total abstin-
ence were requested to come forward and do
so and receive the badge of red ribbon.
About one-half of the audience went forward
and now red ribbons are numerous upon our
streets. The Rev. Armstrong is the red-rib-
bon dare-to- be-true man of Montana, and we
are pleased to know is meeting with abun-
dant success.

while one of Mr.. Curnclson's wagon 5
was leading with furniture ut the
depot, the horses, two fine animals
took fright and ran away, passing
through the entire town to Riggs
shops without y driver No doub,
their intention was to break the
wagon up and leave it at MIR. Riggs
for repairs. They passed through
like 81 whiz. The driver came alon,
some time after and reminded one
very iorcibly of the velocity of the
noise in rear Ola parrot shot from a

lately invented for bringing goods
