The government seems at sea as to hov to
solve the Indian problem. By reference to
the Treasury department it appears that since
the beginning of the government up to the
1st of July, 1870 the gosefhment has espend-
ed on account of indians the enormous sum
of one hundred and eighty zone million dol
lars and that there arc still living about
three hundred thousand red skins. The
question is easily solved. Nothing short of
determination will ever settle them, and the
way we are doing it costs not less than fifty
thousand dollars per head. Now we will
agree to undertake the job at $50 per head
and finish the Contract by the 1st of October,
1884, the government, of course to act as our
collateral. Or perhaps more geuteel way of
doing the business would be to drive them
East instead of West SOME to Mount Airy
and some to Moht5lair-Aand place them in the
hands of gentlemen of high character and
sensitive organization to act as eoachmen.

NAPHTHA GAS.

MAYOR HOWELL DECIDES TO VETO THE RE5e.
LUTON OF THE BROOKLYN COMMON COUNCIL
TO LIGHT THE STREETS WITH NAPHTHA.
Mayor Howell of Brooklyn. yesterday decided
upon vetong the resolution Of the Board of Alder
OF that city awarding the contract for lighting
the street lamps to the Automatic Gas Lamp and
Lighting Company. The resolution in question
adopted by the Common Council Monday. the
18th inst by vote of 13 to 10. The veto message
will be presented to the Board at their meeting on
Monday, and in the meantime His Honor declines to
talk the subject 1t ia reported that the gas
panies have made some slight concession in the
duction OF their rates.
'swhat do you think Of the action Of Mayor How
ell in vetoing the resolution Of the Common Council
awarding the contract for lighting the city with
naphtha gasp" inquired reporter Of Alderman Kane
yesterday
The Alderman replied -"well. / don't believe that
years ago, when the excessively large amount
charged by the gas companies induced the Board Of
Aldermen to pass resolution authorizing the light
ing 500 lamps with naphha. the Mayer vetoed it.
But the gas companies have not reduced their prices.
They are asking s2G 80 per year each lamp. We
proposed to award the contract for lighting the
rate Of So SO per lamp. That would be a
saving of $4,000. surely that is important item
to DO considered. especially by the Mayor. who has
been such very strong advocate for economy. As
ance people, there is nothing at a in what they say
but sefnterest You sec these Insurance people. or

In together as it were, in opposing anything that
may tend to take from them their fat contract"
"will any effort be made 70 override the veto.
Alderman
"Yes, think there will be an effort made on Nom
day next in that direction. There is question a.
to the excellent light which the naphtha furnishes.
I am Of the opinion that the Brooklyn gas COM
pa1ss are not entitled 70 more than $40 lamp
mand their present exorbitant rates. while in New
York the cost is only $I2 per lamp. Coal is down
and labor cheap, and the gas people have no
to offer. Now. IL the city should treat the naphtha
companies In bad faith this year, In year
hence when it might be deemed fitting to advertise
for proposals. these companies would not again
in with their bids. The gas people would. therefore.
enjoy the same monopoly they now do and Brooklyn
would continue ut their mercy"

Coffee and tea are much more iniuri-
ous than are generally supposed. Strong
coffee will at least promote, if not in-
deed cause gout, and its continued en-
ployment seriously impairs the blood,
irritates the kidneys, and deranges the
nervous system. Tea, with its abun-
dant adulteration, is still more harmful.
Chocolate, habitually used, is probably
more damaging than either. ....-.
Instead of the vinegar bottle, lemons
should be employed, and the whole ar
ray of spickles is little more than a
series of insults to the stomach, which
it is very slow to digest.
Apples have in all times occupied a
prominent place as food. This excel
lent fruit has alone in many instances
for months, and in not few even years,
sustained life comfortably and COM
pletely in full vigOr. The plump limbs
and rosy cheeks of children fed freely
upon apples would be revelation to
those who have not investigated the
advantages of fruit as food.
Neither apples or other fruits, how
ever, should be eaten by adults or chill
dren except at meals. There is no OBJ
lection to baking, steaming, stewing OF
roasting the apples, although the best
results may be expected from the fruit

THE MOTION OF A WAGON WHEEL
The instantaneous photographs of trot-
ting horses, taken by Muybridge of San
Francisco, furnish the first visible dem
onstratiOn of the much disputed fact
that the top of wagon wheel, when
running along the ground, moves faster
than the bottom, 1t is obvious that an
instantaneous photograph of a wheel,
revolving upon its axle in the air, would
show all parts of the wheel with equal
distinctness. But if the wheel have a
progressive motion, and any one Dor
ton has greater motion than its cor
responding part, above or below, there
must be liability TO blurring in that
part of the picture. These pictures are
taken with SO brief an exposure that
the horse, though moving at 2.24 gait
is sharply outlined. The wheels of the
drivers sulky, however, have a differ
ent tale to tell. The lower third ot
each wheel is sharp and distinct as 4
absolutely at rest. Not so with the top
that part of the wheel showing a Der,
