Report of Commissioner Of Indian Af-
fDirS

The annual report of Indian Com
missioner Hayt shows that during the
past year there has been among the
Indians in general a steady advance in
civilizatian which has had no parallel
in any previous year. In this the
Ogalalla and Brule Sioux have taken
the lead, and their progress during the
last eighteen months has been simply
marvellous. 1t is no longer question
whether the Indians will work-those
who are anxious to do so are now large
ly in the majority. From all except
the five civilized tribes in Indian Terri
tory there is call for lands in several
ty. There is a largely increased desire
for houses and agricultural implements,
wagons, ETC., and also for citizens cloth
ing. Tables exhibit the agriculture
labor in detail performed during the
year. The number of acres cultivated
by the uncivIlizad was 157 056; by the
FIVE civilized. $4,000, producing good
and varied crops. The commissioner
suggests that each head of family be
given 100 acres of land, and each I'M
married adult eighty acres.
The history of the Ute outbreak is
given in detail, without disclosing any
new facts. | reference to the removal
Of the Utes to some other location, the
commissioner suggests that a commits
sion be appointed to visit the tribe and
obtain its consent to remove from the
state upon payment OF the full value of
lands now occupied.
The commissioner considers the en-
actment of the bill extending the Grim
inal laws of respective states or terri
tories over Indian reservations, of vital
! importance. The Indian policemen
have shown the utmost fidelity TO the
government, and have when necessary,
arrested even friends and relatives with
absolute impartiality. He recommends
a penal settlement for the confinement
and reformation OF the more turbulent
and troublesome individuals among the
various Indian tribes-one Id Florida

refractory indians, and another IN the
Northwest, where considerable land can
be found, upon which imprisoned In
dams may be taught TO work for their
own support. The settlements should
be guarded BIZ sufficient force TO exer-

Journalism and Authorship.


During the last thirty years New York
Journalism has absorbed much of our
best talent, and well it might, for it de-
mands the best. No severer test can
be applied to writer than that of his
ability to furnish leading articles regu-
larry. More than one, who has succeed
ed easily as a bookwright or essayist,
has found his equipment and his power
of composition inadequate to the off
hand production of compact, polished,
welI-informed leaders, such as arc need
ed for The editorial pages of our great
newspapers. Journalism is an art; but
under our system it brings little beyond
his weekly stipend to the sub-journallst.
The stipend is sure, and that means a
great deal to one who lives by his pen.
Newspapers thus far have supplied the
readiest market to writer, and the
magazines next to them. In chapter
on Hood, London's iournalist-poet,
have claimed that the task of daily
writing for the press, while good staff,
is poor crutch; it diffuses the heat oil
| authorship, checks ideallsm, retards
| the construction of masterpieces. Be
sides, it brings an author into attrition
with members of the craft who possibly
know him so familiarly as to under-rate
him. He is subjected to local jealous
| les, to the overpraise of the newspaper
which befriends him, and sometimes to
I the unjust or ungenerous treatment oil
rival sheets, All this may be thought
an evil peculiar to New York, and one
which we shall outgrow. But the same
phenomena are visible in the matured
newspaper life OF the capitals of Eng
land and France, and must be accepted
as part of journalists warfare and
surroundings.

Advice fo GirIS

Do not estimate the worth of young
man by his ability to talk soft nonsense
nor by the length of his moustache.
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon
tied about the neck can remedy the de,
feet of q soiled collar and untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by labor,
do not envy the lily fingers of Miss Fuss
and Feathers, whose mother works In
the kitchen while the daughter lounges
in the parlor.
If dandy, with cigar between his
fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive
to you, tell him emphatically, eyes. .
The habit should be, even though the
odor may not.
! Do not waste your tears on the imag-
mary sorrows of Alonzo and Melissa nor
the trials of the dime novel herolnes.
Seek rather to alleviate the woes of the
suffering ones of earth.

LABoUCHERE ON MARRIAGE.
A Bachelors Explanation Of the Number
Of British Old Maids.
London Truth.

The number of well educated girls
who cannot find husbands has increased
and ought to be diminished. The only
way in which this can be brought about
is TO do away with the absurdity OF
parents giving their sons more money
than their daughters. Girls without
portions do not find husbands so readily
as girls with portions, and this is no re-
Election upon men. A sensible man
may fall in love with a charming young
lady but before marrying her he asks
himself whether he can afford it, in pre-
clsely the same way as person before
taking cab asks himself whether he
has money enough to pay for the fare.
Ii he cannot afford himself the luxury
of marrying this portionless love, he, if
he be in connubial mood, and should
he cone across Il girl with money who
will have him, marries her. Perhaps at
first he regrets his first love. But he
soon settles down to his second love if
she be nice and these marriages de raiS0n
in nine cases out of ten, turn out well
enough. English people have a mania
TO die rich; they never like parting with
their money till the grave separates
them from it. And when they die,
they either leave almost everything to
their eldest son, or leave more to their
sons than to their daughters. Parents
need not strip themselves, like pelicans,
to skins in order to give all to their
children; but they ought while they are
alive to do far more for them than is
the habi. with us; and when they die
they should take very good care to pro-
vide according to their means for their
daughters. A woman is far more
helpless being than man. If the lat
ter be worth his salt he can without great
difficulty convert little money into
great deal, but with a woman this IS not
the case. Give her a small capital, and
she has to live on the interest it brings
in, for she has no means to augment it.
Therefore if / had sons and daughters, |
should try and overcome my natural
sel6shness and give what | could to the
latter in order to aid them to pick up
good husbands; bat in any case l should
by my will leave more to my daughters
than to my sons. One of the main rea-
sons why girls are not so advantageously
treated as boys in wills is that these
documents are generally drawn up by
men. If a woman has money to leave
she seldom heaps it all on one individu-
al or favors men at the cost of her own
sex, but she fairly apportions her wealth
among those of her relations entitled to
