Letter from Washington.
WAsnIvoroN. Dec. u. 1875

WAsHIHoToN, Dec. Is. 1879.
Mr.. HAEFER Indian affairs have
not come before Congress in ,he exact
shape anticipated by any one, but dis
cussion has commenced which can hard.
ly end without bringing questions which
affect materially the welfare of every In
dian In the cougtry, as well as the set
tiers on all cur Western frontiers. An
investigation. will be ordered into the late
Ute disturb ance. While it is hardly fair
TO say that e large majority of the peo-
pie condemn the present system Of man
aging the Indians. it is certain that nine
intelligent men in every ten deplore the
result Of that system. So certainly is
this the fact that Congress can hardly
help considering radical methods of
change, and this at an early date.
Greenback legislation need not be ex.
pected a, this session, beyond the pas
sage of a resolution deprecatiug any
change in the character of our present
that Senator Bayard's proposition to de
prive the greenback. OF their legal ten
der quality will fail in the Senate by a
very large vote.
The House promptly passed two ap.
preparation bills last week, and will pass
two more this week. They are, to be
sure, those which usually excite little de
bate, but the fact that the committee on
appropriations presents them 80 early il
tho session, and that both parties accept
them as presented argues well for short
session. The bills passed were the Pen
sion and Fertilization bills, and those To
be reported this week are those provid
ing for West Point, and Consular and
Diplomatic expenses.
The democratic press in discussing the
proposition of Governor Garcilon OF
Maine, that tie should abide BY the con.
stitution of the State in admins, eriuy
the affairs of the State, have not given
him full credit he is entitled to. There
happens 10 be fear among the radicals
that the course determined by the Gov
ernor would deprive them Of some polit-
zeal advantage. Had that not been the
case, every newspaper of whatever party
in New England, or in the whole Union,
would have applaudoi him. Senator
Hamlin is wrath, and so is Senator
Blaine, but it is simply because Of their
expected political losses. They believe
the result of stiict compliance with the
constitution ensures an anti-repub!ictn
Legislature, for years to come, a demo
cratic Senator in place of Hamlin, and 4
not unremote chance that the State may
vote next year for other than the repub-
lean candidate for President. MEMO.

known stock man OF Whitstone township

In 8 Paris Cafe.

Some few weeks ago [ was dining at
Cafe Voisin, when had an opportunity
Of observing how the French manage to
make use of these expensive establish
ments without transgressing against their
principles of economy. An old gentle
man, with the red ribbon of the Legion
of honor in his button-hole, came in and
asked for oysters. Half-a dozen were set
before him, and over these he managed
to spend at least half an hour with great
satisfaction to himself. When he had
slowly consumed them, there was at
least some dirty water remaining on the
plate. This he poured into one of the
oyster shells, squeezed some lemon into
it, added salt and pepper very carefully,
and drank it of with a loud noise.
Nothing now remained but the shells,
Upon these he fixed fond and lingering
look, and there seemed no doubt that
they would follow the road of the dirty
water; but happily the waiter interposed
and removed the fragments of the feast.
This was all he took except a cup of
coffee. Half the Cafes of Paris would
have to close if they depended on the
French for support.-Poris Letter to
Nea0 York World.

Charles Mathews First Appearance

1t was great success; hustled about,
chartered with everybody while feeling
their pulses, and, being remarkably d.
minutive boy of my age, looked like an
animated doll to the audience in that
large theatre. They roared with laugh
er, and applauded whenever I appeared.
When the curtain descended there was
tumultous call for the Doctor! the Doc
tor!' and pushed on by the stage mana
ger, (albeit nothing loath), I strutted
across the stage, and kissed my hand to

kissed by dozens of pretty actresses, and

way to the supper rocm.-Late OF Charles
