General Gibbon and Lieuten- ant Wood hold the whites chiefly responsi ble Captain Butler thinks that frewater and smallpox, two contributio ns which civiliza- ton has made to the Indians, have diminish ed their numbers to some extent but holds their own tribal and intestine wars, their in- dividual and family feuds, to be the most po- tent causes of their terrible decline. They agree that the gover nment should now, as rapidly as possible, and in full compliance with treaties, oblite rate their national, dis solve their tribal organization, extend over them the operation of the laws and give to the individual members of the tribe in sever alty good land in generous measure, restor- ing their surplus territory to the public do- main.

Europe consumes two milliards of matches daily. Assuming that each several act of ig- milton occupies the brief period of one second and we have reason to believe it is rarely performed in shorter time-it will be obvi- ous to every ready reckoner that five hundred and ffty-fve thousand hours of each suc- cessive day are spent by the inhabitants of Europe in striking matches. There is food for much speculation in the fact that Eu- ropeans dispose of nearly sixty-four years per day in scraping tiny sticks tipped with some infammable composition. It is also interesting to learn that four hundred thou sand cubic yards of timber and four hundred and twenty thousand pounds weight of phosphorus are in annual request for the manufacture of the seven hundred and thirty thousand million of matches used up by Eu- rope in year.

The Idenl Oatmeal PorrIdge. IFrom the English Mechanic.l

Clean, aromatic coarse dry meal must be
 got from some shop where they know what
 is good in the way of oatmeal The meal
 must be stored as carefully as tea in a coy
 cred dry jar, so that neither must mice nor
 beetles can defile it. The saucepan must be
 the pink of cleanliness, and must not have
 been used for anything other than milk and
 breadstuffs. Saucepans in which potatoes,
 greens or meats have been cooked are never
 pure enough for milk and breadstuffs With such materials the making of delicious DOT ridge is easy, but without them it is impos- sible. Bearing in mind the principle on which breadstuffs and milk are to be com
 b1ned in food, we perceive that the meal must be cooked in water. Therefore hay ing clean boiling water in the saucepan, we take a small teacupful of meal two to three ounces) for each pint of water in the saucepan. Draw the saucepan of boiling water off the fire and then sift in the meal through the fingers The meal must be sift- ed into the water so as to be evenly spread over the surface, and to sink free from Jumps. Then push the saucepan fully on the fire and boil briskly for a minute or two, so as to thoroughly mix the meal up with the water before it begins to thicken. Next boil slowly for three or four quarters of an hour, according to the coarseness of the meal. Care must be taken that the DOT ridge is kept on the move and it must be stirred if necessary not to burn and nOL to SeI luupy. OnOKo ana SOOt must be carefully kept from contaminating it. The porridge is now cooked so far that all the starch -granules are fully burst, and the meal is properly disintegrated. Now pour out the porridge like thin custard into a vegetable dish, and leave it to cool uncovered. If suc- cessful, the porr1dge on cooling will set or gelatinise; brownish skin forms over the surface, and as this contracts the porridge separates all round from t. he dish at its edge It becomes soft tremulous jelly, perfectly cooked sweet in flavor, uniform in consist saucepans by burning, or by the defilement of soot or smoke. It should be eaten at the end of breakfast with cold milk, and it makes a most excellent supper.
 A saucerful of such porridge put into soup plate and half pint mug of good rich new milk is, indeed, lunch or a supper or finish to breakfast, which is fit for king. It is food on which any man can do any thing of which he is capable in the way of lahaR. mental or phEsiael For growing children, and youths who are stunted in height or unsound in structure, this is exact ly the food that is wanted. It is like bricks and mortar for the growing frame of infantsA school children and over grown youths. For nursing mothers it is equally valuable, sup plying them with the earthly phosphates and other materials out of which good milk is made, without drawing upon the mothers own structures, is often exempliied by the rapid softening and decay of teeth in women who nurse their children largely upon meat and upon beer.

The bowls are extremely small. A pipe con tains merely whiff. A piece of tobacco is rolled up to the size of pea, and one long, soothing inhalation exhausts it. The smoke is retained some time in the lungs, as usual in the East. It is no matter of surprise that, according to the narrative of the Earl of FL gins mission, a Japanese will smoke fifty such pipes in morning.

Miss Nellie Rossiter of Philadelphia, though only fourteen years old, has had remarkable success with silk worms. She thus describes her work: ''When first started had about 300 worms, which I procured through a friend of my father in few days I shall probably possess 100, 900. have made $500 this year, and hope to treble that sum in the next twelve months. It requires careful watching to keep the worm in good health. They require constant feeding, and somehow they always need attention at in the morn ing. They will only eat mulberry or Osage orange leaves I have permit to pick those leaves in the Park. When cannot procure sufficient amount of foliage to feed all the worms expect to be matched, I freeze as many thousand eggs as cannot provide for at the time. Eggs thus frozen will live for over two months, and on being restored to heated room readily hatch. On the other hand, the worms die unless always in tenn perature of 700 to 750 This morning sold 10, 800 eggs, fixed on card like this (shoy ing card covered with little globules the size of pinheads) for $1.75. Had I kept them for another fortnight could have sold the little worms for 70 cents hundred. but then have thousands and thousands of eggs.''

 English judges are steadily coming to take the sound ground in libel cases that news paper is not to be held responsible for the accidental errors in a fair and unpreiudiced account. The London Tunes recently spoke of woman and her daughter as on trial for fraud when the former only was in the dock, and the daughter brought libel suit, in spite of a correction which was promptly made. She was non-suited, the court hold ing that "the right of reporter in a court of justice IS not subject to the condition that the report should be precisely accurate. One condition is that it should be fair It would be impossible to exercise the privilege of re- porting if every trifing slip in g report de- prived it of it's privilege''

green and fresh. The trees are bud
ding nicely, and everything seems to
give tokens of beauty. We have
mocking birds in abundance that
chime forth their merry songs, and by
their rollicking life give new inspira-
ton to the scene that surrounds me. I
am reminded of the pleasantness of
these, especially after a walk in the
city, which is either full of dust or
covered with mud. But, Mr.. Editor,
the bottom can be found.

sity and Wesley Hall-stand tower
ing before me, which make me feel
insignificant as l walk around them.
The massive walls, the lofty towers
which look as if they would stand the

found judgment, good advice, ETC.,
need no comparison. This week we
are indebted to him for his advice on
wearing tight boots.
His advice to those about to enter
these unpleasant circumstances is like
Punch's advice to those about to
marry-'Don't;" but should this be
your unhappy lot, always observe
these three rules:
First, Never wear them while tray
cling in cars, especially in company
with lady. But should this be i'm
possible, observe rule
Second. Should you be compelled
to pull them off while travelling,
always put them ON before time for
changing cars, as they may become
too small. Should the latter be your
fate, remember this last resort, rule
Third. Assist the lady from the
ears, and leave her in charge of the
boots, while you "pull" for the near
est place to purchase pair of slippers.

at Memphis, our friend learned thi;
from experience, not from Observation.
