Dear Uncle,
Enclosed please find statement of
travelling expenses for sixteen Indi-
an boys from Kansas City to Car
Isle, Pa. After leaving you at Kan
sas City on the 1st, we reached Car
Isle all right on the evening of the
3D. at half past seven The boys
were glad to get there, as they were
tired. Capt. Pratt was at Baltimore
when we arrived but came home
next day. He sent his regards to
you. He says he does not want any
more boys, and says he is about half
mad because you did not send girls
this time; but he knows how hard
1t Is to get their parents to let them
come. stopped at Capt. Pratt's
and think they are splendid people.

and hope you will be pleased.
Your Nephew,
FIELDIE HUTCHINs.
In this connection we also print a
letter from Jessa, written four days
after his arrival at Carlisle. Jessa
was for several years connected with
the Arapahoe school at the Agency,
and is now at Carlisle to complete
his education and learn a trade. He
was for some time employed by the
Agent as chief herder Of the Agency
cattle. In this capacity he read or
ders and issued cattle as well as any
white man could have done. At the
Wichita Fair in 1873, he was award
ed a diploma for fine penmanship.
The accompanying letter gives a fair
idea of his knowledge of English:

PORTLAND. Me, Jan. 30. 1881.

PORTLAND. Me, Jan. 30, 1881.
M. Editor:--At a melting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Maine Soldiers and
Sailors Association, held Friday evening, at
Portland. the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted, to wit That the Ex-
utive Committee in order to remove any mis-
understanding in regard to the proposition to
use, at the reunion of the veterans the regi-
mental flags, now in the custody of the State.
at Augusta, desire to make public their own
feelings and also what they consider to be
the wishes and purposes of their associate.
and comrades. 1t is not expected that the
State authorities will part with the custody
of these valuable relics, and it is hoped that
under the peculiar circumstances Of this, the
second reunion of the veterans, the survivors
of the civil war may have, once more, an
opportunity of looking upon the flags under
which they went to battle for the preservation
of the country.
We desire that they NAV be borne and
guarded by a detachment of the militia
which being legally in the service of the
State and sworn to faithful allegiance and
duty, can be held responsible for their preser-
walton and care
We do not wish, and we are sure We repre-
sent the sentiment Of the association, that
anything should be done to iniure in anv wav
or manner the flags We hold in such rever-
ence, the evidence of long and faithful ser
vice, the symbols of a united country.
The Executive Committee further voted
that the Portland papers and the Kennebec
journal be provided with an official copy of
the above resolutions by the Secretary
A committee of four consisting of Gen. J.
L. Chamberlain, Gen. John N. Brown Can't.

Sell BY Weight.

Progress in some things is slow.
Mtny years ago nearly everything was
sold by measure-by the bushel. quart.
gallon. etc. Fifty years ago salt was
measured in half bushel, and so was
-four. But there has been great prog
ress made in many articles. But there
is reform demanded in others. There
is great injustice done to both buyer
and seller to sell eggs by the Dozen
The eggs Of the improved breeds Of
hens are twice as heavy as are the
product of the common scrub stock.
There are constant frauds in the quart
or fruit boxes of small fruits. There
are shortages, stealings and leakings in
every box. Honest scales will not thus
cheat Besides boxes. packages or
measures which are professedly pnt up
for bushel, barrel. gallon, quart or
pint. and which fall short. are fraud
on the public, and should be avoided
by changing the rule to testing every
thing by standard measures or scales.
There is as much certainty in selling
wool by the fleece at standard for all
fleeces, as to sell eggs by the dozen. or
hay by the load. The only right way
of selling all farm products is by
weight. Justice can be done in no
other way. This is the best st ,ndsrd
for selling potatoes. tomatoes, wheat,
barley. oats, apples, berries, eggs. but
ter. chickens, turkeys, hogs and beeyes.
Let US have no exceptions. At present
the exceptions are where the greatest
frauds are perpetrated. Let US have
an opportunity of ordering by telephone
from our grocer ten pounds OF eggs
