Upon Wednesday evening, Jan. 22nd,
the Alumni of Dartmouth College had
their annual reunion at the Revere
House: there were about rs present.
Hon. Albert Palmer presided at dinner,
and afterwards opened the meeting by
an Introductory speech. In it, he re-
ferred not only to the College in COM
plimentary manner, but to the present
President, S. G. Bartlett, who, he said,
represented to the alumni, all that is
promising, good and hopeful in Dart
mouth College. The President respond
ed to this hearty greeting, by an ex-
preston of thanks, and gave some ac-
count of the status and needs of the
college at the present time, closing with
the toast, "Dartmouth College-may
she still go on doing her noble work
while the world stands; doing it better
and better every century" Other in
teresting addresses were made by men,
beers of the alumni. DR.. Bartlett re-
Gently paid high compliment to the
"SOns of Vermont, who, not only get up
grand dinners, but include among their
guests all the people worth knowing"
Col. L. w. HigginsOn recently made an
address at DR.. E. f. Hale's church the
first time he has spoken in Boston since
his return from Europe. He compared
the aristOcracy of Europe with that of
America. 1t was impossible to contrast
favOrably or impartially the aristocracy
of birth with the aristOcracy of wealth,
as the last is in its incipient state in
America, and for that reason vulnerable
in many respects. u.

/ band-w0men as well as men-and the
capture of 9 wounded warriors and
souaws. If this sort of work was to be
done at all, it may be thought worth
while to have it we'll done. Doubtless
it is better that the Cheyennes should
be under the ground than that they
should escape to their klnsmen, ana
carrying with them sense OF wrong
and a savage thirst for revenge, STIR up
new war. But it is impossible not to
admire the dauntless courage of these
Indians, who, already reduced to a
handful and surrounded by a greatly
superior force, fought grimly to the
last, and when ammunition gave out,
rushed on their enemies with drawn
knives. But if it is impossible not to
admire their courage, it is equally i'm
possible to refrain from inquiring what
it was which inspired their desperation,
and what were the wrongs behind them,
and the prospect before them, which
made them prefer death to surrender.
Nothing can be palmer than that
there is an unwritten history to this
business. Previous to the sudden dash
from Camp Robinson, which first
brought this band of Indians into gen.
eral notice, there must have been shame
full wrong and Encouragement on the
part of some of those who had charge
of them. Not even savages are in the
habit of taking such hazards as they
took and fighting as they fought, unless
life has for some reason become alto
gether hopeless. Grant that the Indian
character is as black as it has ever been
paiuted-cruel, sanguinary and re-
vengeful- there was at least no TEACH
cry or cowardice shown by any of the
little group who dared and met death
on the Nebraska cliffs. But to find out
what the wrongs were which stung
them to such desperation, and whose
was the mismanagement which has had
such fatal results-this should be the
next duty undertaken. No one will be
disposed to throw discredit upon the
soldiers, who were acting under orders,
and several of whom lost their lives.
But there is little satisfaction to be felt
over such victory as theirs, and the
indiscriminate killing of women and
children needs to be more clearly ex-
planned than it has yet been, before the
public will be satisfied that it was acct
dental or necessary.
If this matter is suffered to remain |
where it is, it will he Il permanent dis
grace. What may seem to some more
important and practical consideration,
it will be a perpetual menace of further
troubles. If it is true that the attempt |
was made to starve and freeze these |
savages into submission, then those who |
were responsible for this treatment
should be searched out and punished
otherwise there will be no way to pre-
vent similar experiments with similar
results. Such a tragedy as this-for it |
is tragedy, although most of the blood
shed has been not of whites, but In
dians-does not occur without Il cause. |
Unless we want to take on our hands |
the work of killing off the Indians en-
mdSSe. simply because they are Indians,
and ia the way, it will be well to put an
abrupt and permanent stop to such
transactions as led to this Cheyenne
outbreak.

he would finish his eighty eighth veal
next month. Before he was twenty-One
years old he had learned three trades,
those of halter, brewer and carriage
maker. 1t was fifiy-One years ago be
began to aid the laboring classes. In his
sixty wears of business he could not re-
member a time when his wOrkmen had
to wait for their money; the reason was
he had kept clear of banks. Although
candidate two years ago, he had nc
expectation of being President of the
United States. He had paid out a good
deal of money for expenses. He could
not say how many men he had paid who
said they had watched the polls for him
on election day. The court room would
not bold them. They had been coming
to him ever since for their pay, and
were coming yet.
Some detectives in the U. S. Secret
Service have successfully accomplished
difficult and delicate job in tracing and
arresting a man named Ulrich, said to
be the most skillful engraver of coun
terfeit money in the country. A few
years ago he was imprisoned for eXecut-
ing bogus 800 bill on a Boston bank
so perfect that 81 100000 of it were put
in circulation. He was pardOned out,
however, and soon returned to his old
occupation. When the raid was made
on his house in the little village with
er he had been traced, he was found at
work engraving by hand the geOmetri-
cal lathe-wOrk of the back of 800
Treasury note, which is done by the
Government with machine that cost
100000 and which it had been suppOs-
ed could not be initiated. Ulrich's work,
however, was almost perfect.
See what noble ambition the success
of the recent pedestrian matches here
have been able to awaken in the pro-
viDcial breastl In Paterson man has
started on an attempt to walk $50 miles
in six days, resting only three hours
each day. In the same town, another
enterprising party is endeavOring to
gain wealth and reputation by. keeping
awake for six days. One Mackey, of
Passaic, calls himself champion Raw
Onion Eater of the World" Michael
Burns is going to eat against him for
$500 land gate-mOney." Another man
wants to Neat barrel of raw onions
against time" claiming that he can do
so in four days. And in day or so, an
other hero will charge the public an add
mission fee to see him try to eat six
pounds of raw Goldfish in two hours.
Who can say that the tendencies of
the age are not ennObling and refining?
Church organizations have become
famous for their ingenuity in ''raising
the wind" don't Iemembr, however,
to have heard of anything more striking
and original in this line than the scheme
now being executed by a suburban
Catholic society, to dispose of their
church editice by lottery, chances one
dollar each. If any of your readers
happen to want II nice church for any
purpose, here is their opportunity.
