The marrow of the Indian question was
laid bare by the sharp mental tomahawk
of a young Greek Indian at Carlisle, Pa,
the other day, when he stood up before
an audience of American citizen-himself
denied citlzenship-and said "The ed
ucation which we are getting here is not
like our land-it is something which can
not be stolen nor bought from u.s." A
keener rebuke has never been uttered in
the English language. 1t embodies the his
tory of century Of wrongs and recogni-
zes the only repatriation that remains
education, citizenship.

YIrglnia EIOners Married.

Yesterday morning, on the arrival OF the
Midland train at the SiXth-street depot, a
couple disembarked that attracted the at
tention OF the experienced officials. who
have a sharp eye for passengers in pairs on
matrimonial thoughts intent. The young
man was attired in his Sunday best and the
young lady IN gauzy white, but both were
somewhat dusty from travel. Before leav-
ing the depot a bootblgck was called upon,
and ne busted them off, i'm addition TO
backing up the shoes OF each; after which
they went to the City Hall, where Mr.. Clan
cy, the assistant clerk, furnished the requi-
site marriage-license, filed up with the
names OF Charles A. Amber and Almra
G. Wilson, both Of SudIeyvile, Virginia.
Being directed TO the residence OF Rev. DR..
Sunderland, they went there, and that gen.
lleman soon lied the matrimonial knot for
them. They spent the hours until the time
of their departure for home in looking
around the city. II appears from the state
ment Of the welded pair that while the
mother and sisters Of the young lady were
perfectly willing for the marriage to take
place, her father objected. About six
months ago the young man asked the old
gentleman and received positive refusal.
He concluded TO await his opportunity,
and the young lady having few days ago
left her fathers residence TO visit his uncle,
the lover made up his mind that the time
had arrived, and bis sweetheart being will
ing, they took The train for this city, and
were made happy, as recorded Washing

INDIGNANT REAJUSTERS OF PRINCE WILL
LIAM.-The following letter is published in
the Manassas Gazette. 1t is dated Manassas,
June 18th, and signed by Many Voters OF
the Readiuster Club OF this Place"
We beg leave TO occupy small space III
your paper TO dcnounce political trick and
fraud perpeirated by one ID. w. Lewis, a
coloIed political huckster, who undertook
TO represent the Readjuslers OF this county
in the Convention held in Richmond on the
I'd instant. This Lewis is neither citizen OF
this county nor citizen OF this State. He
was not sent from here TO represent our
people. Indeed, we do not consider him
worthy 10 represent honest people.
1t is question with many OF the voters
| OF this county as to whether they can sup
port the nominees OF the said Convention
unless an explanation is satisfactorily made
as to how and upon whose credentials this
sneak got into the said Convention. This
political huckster has upon several occa-
sons undertaken TO mislead our people,
but we gave him to understand that Wash
ington's scum couldn't dictate to us our
political dutvin Virginia. Knowing this,
he boosted that he would see General Ma
hone. III such creatures as this Lewis are
the pets and instruments OF General Ma
hone, then we can have but little confidence
in the ReSdj uster chieftain. In conclusion,
we warn our friends not TO be imposed
upon by this political tramp, Lewis, or any
of his class.
