The second annual report of Capt.
Pratt. who has charge of the Carlisle
Indian school, shows progress that
is very gratifying to the friends Of
Indian education, and is an incon-
trovertible argument in favor OF
schools located away from the say
age influences of camp life. The
Young mon who have returned from
Carlisle and Hampton, except a few
who were always depraved, are in
dustrious and disposed to make the
best use of their knowledge. They
are good examples among their peo-
pie, over whom they are eXerting
some Influence.
u -Four young ladies of the Chey-

-, Amelia and Minnie Lit
tie Elk, paid q visit to Mrs J. II.
Scger last Saturday. After dinner
they took complete possession of the
kitchen and did the work up il good
shape, putting everything in proper
place and sweeping out well. Mr..
Scgcr promises to recommend three
of these girls to soine OF the Chey-
cnnc young men who are on the
white mans road. He further adj
vises the young ladies to (in case
young man with boiled shirt and
stand-up collar should make appli-
cation) tell him that no ponies are
wanted, and that if he cannot show
up neat little cottage he need not
put himself to further trouble. Mrs.
Little Elk's husband is at Carlisle
learning the carpenters trade, while
she is at the Cheyenne school learn
ing to keep house. We hope they
Will soon be able to put their knowl-
edge to practical use in 3aaking
home of their own.

Washington, 22.-The usual scenes in
cident to q night session were enacted.

J IRONICALLY that the tidiOus hours De en-
iivened by allowing Spear, of Georgia,
to make speech upon the necessity of
improving the Tugusta river in thai

brought prolonged colloquy. A call of

that members left the hall, not only
through the doo;s, but through the win
doWs Of the cleAk rooms. Finally, al
O'Clock, the resolution was adopted-yeas
20, nays 25. There was strong determi-
nation manifested on both sides OF tho
House to prolopg the session until a
quorum should appear. On the part OF
come gentlemen this determination was
strengthened by desire to pass the
Chandler bill, but for the most part il
arose from disposition 10 make it ap-
parent that when the House ordered

tending such sessions would insist upon
the presence of a quorum ana the trans
action of business. Az 4.45 motion to
