wI he following is the story Of the
nine of diamonds being called "The
Curse of Scotland" A few evenings be-
fore the battle of Culloden there were
gathered in the apartments of tho Pre-
tender, at Inverness, Il few of his friends,
for the purpose fp!aying at cards. In
the course of the evening the niue of
diamonds belonging to the pack with
which they were playing was lost On
the night after he battle, which resulted
so disastrously for the rebel army, the
Duke of Cumberland entered Inverness,
and, as was his invaria bic custom, took
up his quarters in the apartments which
had been so recently occupied by Prince
Charles Edward. On the following
morning Il scout brought in word that a
small porto of the rebel army had taken n
sh ltcr in Il deep gorge among the moan
tains. The Duke at once directed an
| officer to take Il number Of men, surronnd'
the party, and put every man to death
that was found in arms. The officer, re-
!uctant execute his inhuman order
and pc haps, fearful of other consequent
ccs, declined to take the command with
out Il written order. The Duke looked
round the room for n piece of paper on
which to wri the order, when some one
pichcd up the lost card and presented 1t
to the Duke, who wrote his order on the
| back Of it and handed it to the officer.
The soldiers departed on their errand of
butchery, and so well did they execute
the Dukes command that not one OF the
devoted Highlanders escaped death.
Hence it is that the nine of diamonds is
called ."The Curse ofScotland."

CANNON-MORGAN COLLISION.

OFFICE OF U. S. LOCAL INSPECTORS OF }
STEAM VESSELS, DIST NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, June 20, 1880.
Decision in the case of collision be-
tween steamers JOHN w. Cannon and
Charles Morgan;
Upon a careful review Of othe testimo-
ny and evidence in this casa, we are of
the opinion that the pilot OF the Charles
Morgan was steering his boat with due
diligence and caro- as near the shipping
as was safe, whiie tho John w. Cannon
came up astcrn, and in the attempt to
pass the Morgan at too near proximity,
the suction of tho Cannon's wheel caused
the Morgan to sheer towards her, there
by causing the collision.
The majority of the evidence shows
that the Morgan was only about seventy
feet from the shipping, as near as it was
safe to run, while the Cannon had am.
pie room on her port side to avoid a col
lision; and it is also proven that the
starboard eng ne of the Morgan was stop
ped previous to and at the time of COLI
ding. III view of the above, we have
this day suspended the license Of r. B.
Turner, pilot of the John w. Cannon fer
sixty days from the date hereof, for un-
skillfulness. in accordance with SEC.
4450 Revised Statutes.

Hancock and English had been honored

During the year sixty boarding and 116 day
schools have been in operation among the diff
ferent Indian tribes, exclusive of the five civil
lied tribes in the Indian Territory, which have
been attended by over 1000 children and taught
by BIC teachers. The educational work Of the
bureau could have been enlarged to a much
greater extent but for the inadequate appropri-
atoms made by Congress for the support OF the
schools. Fifty thousand Indians at seven teen
agencies have no treaty school funds whatever,
and educational facilities must depend entirely
on general appropriation for education Among
those tribes there are at least 1900 children Oh
school age. Reports from the schools on the
various reservations are full Of encourage
ment, showing increased and more regular
attendance of pupils, and growing interest
in education on the part Of parents. In
compliance with the appeals from neglected
agencies, the bureau has made arrangements
for erecting eleven boarding school buildings
during the coming season, and for the estab-
hshment OF thirteen new boarding schools.
These will be the first schools Of any hind ever
provided for the 5000 San Carlos Apaches and
Western Shoshones, and the first boarding
schools opened for the IS 900 Indians at the nine
other agencies. The day-schools have hitherto
met with Indifferent success and made little i'm
preston on the tribes among whom they were
located. The condition Of the Poncas in tn Q
Indian Territory continues to be prosperous.
They have now seveuty-nine houses, and, since
