A CURIOUS and interesting experiment
is being tried at Carlisle in this state,
where the old military barracks are now
used as school for young Indian chill
dren, brought thither at tender age
from the wigwams of their parents.
Oaithful missionaries go out among the
red men and induce them to '' loan " the
children for this purpose, taking, with
out discrimination, the boys and girls Of
the chiefs and common Indians. The
parents give them up voluntarily, but
not without manifesting the deepest in
terest in their future, and jealously
watching their progress as they come on
and see it or us they get news of it from
those whom they trust. The little In
dians are very hard to teach at first, but
a lady who is interested in this work
tells us that in time some real
bright intellects are developed among
them. and she has high hopes that
before another generation have grown
to manhood there will be i large crop of
good results from the work now in pro-
gress. Surely this is a sensible treatment
of the Indian question. If the children
can be brought under civilizing influences
the entire Indian character may be
changed. They are people WHO may BE-
perpetuated under other than their
native conditions, as the experience of
the Cherokees has shown, and if civiliZa-
tion is to be impressed upon them it can
be better effected with the children than
the bucks and squaws; school books
will do it more quickly than gunpowder.

of one of his friends. The peace of the
city must be preserved and the peace otfi-
GERS must be sustained and protected in
the performance Of their duties. What
ever our feelings may be in the matter, it
is our duty to see that the peace of the
city is preserved. The late disturbance
may have been instigated by political Pas
Sion, but be that as it may, the mayor of
the city believed the trouble would result
in riot, and he very properly took prompt
measures to prevent it, and was warranted
in doing what he did.
The Oifcnse charged against these men
does not merge in any other offence it
stands alone, and the case has been made
out against the defendants. But there are
some mitigating circumstances. There
was great political excitement, and SO far
as is known this is the first time these
men have offended. This being first Of
fence, the court think the defendants are
entitled to some consideration, and that
the Judgment should be mitigated. We
desire to uphold the Law and assist
the peace officers in preserving the
peace, but we will very considerably
reduce the term of commitment, with the
remark. that if sober men readily suhmi
to the police officer and do not persist in
disorderly acts they are entitled to some
consideration Police officers cannot always
succeed in securing the men that begin the
fight they are not always present when
such disturbances begin and the best thing
they can do is to arrest those they see to
be disorderly, as they did in the late dis
turbance. With the remark that the law
officers must be obeyed We reduce the
term of commitment of the prisoners so
that it shall expire on Monday next. They

filed in our appeal to the supreme
court, maintain that it is not the offence
to them that they resent, but that offer
ed to the majesty of the people repre-
sented in the persons of the judges. 1t is
very lofty pedestal to get upon; but it
only shows what our judges can do when
they let loose their vaulting imaginations.
Its the dear people that Judge Patter-
son always has in his mind. He knows
what is best for them. He won't let
them have any music Of profane sound
from the Presbyterian organ; and he
won't let them have thirty days impris-
onment for being drunk and disorderly
in the discharge of their Republican duty
when he can help it. He is
a just man. He tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb; and decides
that what would be right for an
ordinary citizen is too much for a
United States enumerator and Republi-
can bully. As we have said, there is
plenty of good sense at the bottom of his
opinion. We need not mention it all ::
it sufices to say that it is apparent to the
dullest intelligence that United States
enumerator can't take the census while
he is in Jail; and as the census taking
can't be postponed for his convenience,
it was eminently proper that the claims
of justice should be relinquished, and
that the enumeratOrs should be restored
to liberty in time to perform their i'm
portant work. We are sure that the
public will see how Judge Patterson's
sense and sympathy vindicate his judg-
ment and merit their applause.

Can a Sheep Reason.

We think that A. II. CLARK has the
sheep that stands No. |, as far as sagaci-
ty is concerned. 1t is male, and dur
ing the summer has pastured with some
calves in an apple orchard adjoining the
residence. There were several trees in
the orchard we'll loaded with early fruit.
The trees were about six inches in diam
eter. One evening Mr.. Clark heard con-
siderable noise in the orchard, and, upon
investigation, found the sheep and calves
quietly eating apples under one of the
trees. In few minutes all The apples
were eaten, when, to his surprise, he saw
the sheep back off several yards from the
tlee and then butt it with all his force,
bringing down quantity of fruit.
This they proceeded to eat as before, and
when the supply gave out, the sheep re-
plenished it as before. This was contin-
ued at intervals until their appetite was
sppessed. So persistent was the sheep
in his novel mode of tree shaking that
Mr.. Clark WAS obliged to protect the
trees, lest the continual bruising of the
bark should cause permanent injury
