Tho number of Indians in Alaska,
says letter from that country, is vari-
ously estimated at from $1,000 to $1,000.
With regard to those in the interior
there is very meager accurate knewl-
edge. The obstacles in the way of a

and slate, their ornaments and shapely
canoes. they display unlOoked-for skill.
Blanketed natives, with painted or hid
eously besmeared faces, were to be seen.
From a condition offensive to the nos
trils, and this scanty mode of dress
there are various approaches to stage

clothing; some, indeed, make very
presentablel appearance. Sometimes
Indians were observed affeotionately
fondling their children, and the men
often carrying their offspring in their
arms with all the apparent pride OF
their white brethren. The women gen.
orally do the trading and bargaining
in disposing of furs and in other trans
actions. When an Indian offers furs
for sale, and the price has been ar
ranged between him and the purchaser,
his klootohman, or squaw. can veto the
transaction, and has to be consulted be.
fore the trade becomes final. The In
dians are never in a hurry to conclude
a bargain, those from distance often
remaining at trading post for weeks,
holding out for most trifing advance
ON the price offered. They are shrewd
traders, and the amounts agreed upon
for the different kinds of furs seem very
high to An uninitiated on-lO0ker. The
purchasers would lose money on the
goods il they paid coin. The Indians
shrewdness manifests itself only in &C.
curing the promise of high price.
They do not want money. but desife AZ

some Unsolicited Bills.

:, At the close of Warden Bat
terman's administration there
was due the State, by reason of
boots and shoes manufactured at
the Prison sold to merchants in
Nevada, the sum of nearly $780,
600. Over a year ago these &C
counts were placed ia the hands
of Attorney General Murphy for
collection. Most Of the &C
counts were against good, re
sponsible men, and there would
have been but little trouble
at the time in collecting at least
twe-thirds of the amount. Since
they passed into the hands Of
Attorney General Murphy they
have sunk out of sight, and
there is still, we understand,
over $4,000 due, most of
which by reason of the fact
that the parties against whom
the claims stood have become
insolvent-cannot be collected.
There are others which are per-
fectly good. Before General
Murphy goes out of office he
should attend to this unfinished
business and collect what can be
collected with all possible dis
patch.

John w. Benson. a colored
doctor residing on North Eng

well known in this city, had a
vision which he insists por-
tends bloody times for 1884.
Yesterday reporter was met
on English street by the Doctor,
who said that while not a
visionist or a dreamer, he had
nevertheless had some remark

business. He had a vision last
Summer in which Republican
defeat in Ohio was portrayed in
an unmistakable manner, and
in other matters his visions had
been equally successful.
"It was o'clock last Mon

seemed to be about 10 o'clock in
the morning, and two suns ap-
peared in the sky. The under
sun was blood red and seemed
stationary. The sky was all in
a blaze and / saw a vast army
of white men in the southwest.
\ minute later a cOlored army
appeared, and at its head was
General Grant, on whose saddle
cloth were the figures in ISS3.'
Firing began and a terrible bat
tie ensued, at the close of which
the white army stacked their
arms. Hundreds of colored
women and children now ap-
peared, and in their midst rose !
a beautiful woman bearing a
banner on which appeared a
figure of the Goddess of Liberty. |

The reporter suggested that

by too hearty a midnight sup

down, denying that he was
addicted to midnight repasts.

SILK CULTURE IN THE SOuTH.-Thc South
ern States arc peculiarly adapted in soil and
climate to the cultivation Of silk. Labor Is
cheap, and, compared with the other sections
of the country, the conditions of life there
are singularly suited to the development Of
this industry. Owing to the Improvement
of machinery various articles of household
use, the making of which, ten or twenty
wears ago, gave employment to the women
and children Of 4 family, are now manutac-
turcd much cheaper than they could be fur
nished in the old way. The result is that i'll
a country like the South where factories are
only just coming into existence, and where
there is scarcely any demand for the lower
grades OF unskilled feminine labor. there are
thousands and tens Of thousands of persons
who are compelled to live in enforced idle
ness The cultivation Of silk would give
this class of people an interesting and profit
able occupation. Scarcely any one Of Our
numerous industries is making more rapid
progress. We are now successfully compe-
ting this branch of business with France and
England, with either Of whom quarter of
accntury ago the possibilityof rivalry would
have been deemed al absurdity.--N. y
