Secretary Teller nthe Tu rtle Noun
tain Trouble.

Hon. Henry II. Teller, secretary ofin-
terror, has written the following letter to
Rev. J. Malo, Indian missionary: 1 have
your communication of the I'd instant con-
corning the Tultle mountain band of Chip
pewa Indians. understand that the Chip
pewas are entitled to all the benefits of the
treaties heretofore made by the government
of the United States with the Chippewa
Indians. 1t is said that these Indians went
on the White Earth reservations and re-
manned short time and tn en- left; that
since that they lived part of the time in
British America, and part of the time in the
United States. j am told that some of them
now express desire to settle on the lands
iu Northern Dakota and become permanent
residents. Ali Indians belonging to the
United States, can if they desire so to do, Sc
lect 160 acres of land and make it their
home, and secure a title thereto. If these
Indians will make such settlement, they will
not be disturbed, and have no doubt con-
gress will make suitable provisions for fur
,nishing them agricultural tools. etc. These
Indians cannot be allowed to keep the white
people out of the country, and if they and
their halfbreed relatives desire to select
lands for homes, they should do so at once
If the Indians have title, as they claim,
to any portion of the country, their rights
will be respected by the governments, by
paying them. They will not improve their
condition by contrasting now, for the exelu-
sive possession of the land is not believed to
belong to them. Very respectfully,
HENRY NJ. TELLER, Secretary.

The Crown Jewels.

Col. John G. Gawler, who died in Eng
land a few weeks ago, had been for
number of years the keeper of the
Crown jewels, or, as he was known of
ficially, the keeper of the Regalia at the
tower of London. He was the son of
that Col Gawler who was at one time
the governor of South Australia, and he
had seen long and notable services in
the British army. His first military ex-
perience was had at an early age. The
year 1850 found him with the Seventy
third regiment in the Kafr war. He
served in that campaign until 1868, and
came out with medal and the brevet Of
major. Five years later he was gazetted
a lieutenant colonel in the army, and
for services in the Indian mutiny he
was awarded another medal. Still later
he commanded as brigadier consider
able force in the Himalaya's against the
rajah of Sakkin, taking the rajah's resi-
dence and forcing him to submit to the
British terms of surrender. He subse-
quentlv.penetrated to the Thibet frontier
and served in China and Ceylon.

Persuasiveness of the Musket.
From the Toledo lOhiol Blade.

NoASN&O
Gen. Steedman tells good story which is
applicable to the manner in which the aris-
tocratic Sixtieth Rifles recently skipped out
in front of Ramleh and gave everything up
to the Egyptians. While near Nashville the
general had a negro reg iment on the picket
line, and a bright young mulatto sergeant
in command of post got the drop on a
rebel post and captured the whole outfit.
The rebels We're a crowd of high stepping
young Virginians, and some of them were
badly wrought up by the idea of having to
surrender to a''lot of niggers." Gen. Steed-
man took their commander, fine young
fellow, into his tent, extending some little
courteses to him, and in the course of the
conversation said: ''It was little tough,
Lieutenant, to be taken in by colored sol
diers, but war has strange experiences"
well, genera" said the other, sitting down
his glass, "1'vebeen in the army now nearly
four years, and T I've learned anything it
has been a profound respect for the musket
When the muzze is showed into my face I
don't usually asflany questions as to who's

Gen. Sherman tells nearly as good story,
in his book He was standing on the side
walkrn st. Louis when Gen. Lyon went cut
with his men to attack the secessionists at
camp jackson. A young lady OF zen. Sher-
mans acquaintance-daughter of one of the
most aristocratic families in the city-was
standing on stoop near by, wringing her
hands and crying. She said her brothers,
cousins, and a number ofacquaintances We're
in Camp Jackson, and she was certain that
they would all be killed. for they were proud,
high-spirited men. belonging to the best
families in the city and they would die be-
fore they would yitld. Gen. Sherman tried
to console her by saying that he had noticed
that sons of first-chss families were usually
not any more willing to die than other peo-
pie. He CONTINUED his walk and in little
while met Gen. Lyon returning with the
entire force at Camp Jackson, which had
surrendered without firing gun. He has
tened back to comfort the young lady with
news of her kinsmen's safety, but after she

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.

An order has been telegraphed to Newport
KY, releasing Col. Taylor from arrest and
directing him to return to duty. Gen. Sher-
man has approved of the finding and sen.
tence, and Col. Taylor will be reprimanded
in a general order. The general order will
be published at once at the request OF SEN

regard with appreciation the action of the
court martial, as they think, apart from the
merits of this particular case, that the effect
will be salutary in strengthening the discip-
line of the service.

Senator Hill and His Mother.

From General Evans Grafton at the Funeral
In all his Life, Ben Hill never did more
graceful thing than when he made his last
visit to the portrait of his mother, which
hung in one of his rooms. When President
Garfield placed his manly arm around his
venerable mother in the presence of the vast
multitudes that witnessed his Inauguration,
and kissed her with lips fresh from
pronouncing the obligation of the presiden-
}tial office he drew unto himself the warm
heart Of American motherhood forever. So
when the great senator went as a child to
gaze upon his mothers pictured face, and
murmured, Il will soon see her. he left t e
.sons of this state and the union a lesson
of filial love they should never forget. The
portrait shows dear, old, good face, well
traced with marks of intelligence. The
wrinkles are there, the stoop age, and other
signs of failing life. Long since she went
away. But the wasted statesman became
boy again in feeling, gazed with true,
adoring love upon the portrait, and then
above the faded picture looked with eyes
that saw Home and Heaven and Mother, all
in one vision of transcendent glory.

An official British report makes amin
teresting exhibit of an average length of
ocean voyages, by steam and sail, from
England to distant ports. Last year the
average length of voyages from Liver
pool'to Melbourne was 104 days by sail
ing vessel and II days by steamers (both
taking the route by the Cape of Good
Hope), while steamers taking the Suez
Canal route averaged only 46 days and
some made the passage in 40 days. This
discloses the immense value of the Suez
Canal, by which the route from England
to India is only little over 5000 miles
by the way of Cape of Good Hope, and
by which the average length of voyages
to Australia is reduced thirty-one DAYS,
or made nearly seventy per cent, short
er than by the Cape.

A noteworthy fact of the census statis-
tics is the distribution of the sexes in
the city and country populations. In
the aggregate of the nation the males
exceed the females by nearly !, ZOO, 900;
yet in the fifty largest cities there are
several hundred thousand fewer males
than females. In New York, Philadel-
phia, Brooklyn, Boston, Baltimore.
New 0rleans-in short, three out of
four of the largest cities-females are in
the majority. Notable exceptions are
st. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, and San
Franciseo-the last being aided in this
respect by the large preponderance of
males in her Chinese population. Pitts
burg also has majority of males, as
would be supposed from nature of her
manufacturing interests.

Successful Safe Blowing

At Des Moines, Iowa. on the 10Th, the
large safe of Ewing, Jewett & Chandler,
lumbermen, was blown open and $3.50 in
cash and Sc, 600 in notes were carried away.
The robbers drilled into the lock and blasted
twice. The reports were distinctly heard
and the two men seen. The office and fur
niture were badly damaged.
On the same night, at Winona, Mimi, the
safe of Doud, Son & Co., at the office of
their barrel mandatory, corner of Mark
and Walnut streets, was blown open by
burglars. Entrance to the office was
gained by bursting open the front door, A
hole about half an inch in diameter was
drilled in the safe door near the knob,
wherein powder was inserted and explod-
ed. The door Of the safe was blown COM
pletely off, and lights of glass in the win
dows at both front and rear were roken by
the conclusion, but the blowers did not get
any money for their pains.

cavalry brigade, under Col. Sir Baker Rus
sell, charged them in the flank, sabreing a
considerable number. The cavalry were
well handled by Maj. Gen. Drury Lowe.
Gen. Graham's dispositions were all they
should have been. His operations were car.
ried out with the the GOODNESS for which he

to secure the rebel guns, which the enemy
withdrew during the night. They left, how
ever, all their ammunition. Our killed are

ants and fifty-six men.
The Alexandria correspondent of the
London Standard relates humorous story.
Agentleman wrote to the admiral complain
ing that there was shell belonging to the

requesting its removal. The admiral passed
the letter to the captain of the Infexible,
and he sent on shore boatswain and half a
dozen seanen, who found the great shell
lying, unexploded, in the drawing
as described. As it would have been danger
Gus to bump it about, a devise was, after
some consideration hit upon for conveying
it to the shore. A feather bed was procured
and the shell was firmly enveloped in it,
1t was then carefully rolled down stairs, and
SO back to the ship.

American women have no reason to
find fault with their general treatment
In public, even if certain political fran
chises are not theirs. The contrast be-
tween the treatment of women in Amer
lea and England is certainly very
marked. A lady writes from London:
'The inferior female sex appears to me
to be sat UPON and suppressed in almost
every way in England. Men are waited
onfirst at table. i saw row of perhaps
a dozen ladies' at dinner with one man
near the center. The walters went up
past the ladies at each side of him to at
tend to his wants first. He was supe-
rio being" On the continent the dis
tinc.lon is still greater than in England.

and gallantry, the traveller is every

seated customs and habits that betray
their inferiority to the men in all the

Postmaster General Howe has ar
rived at sensible conclusion in regard
to recent attempts to have Walt. Whit
mans "leaves of grass" excluded from
the mails as an obscene book. He says
he cannot do so until it has been decid-
ed by the courts that the work is of an
immoral tendency. This decision is one
of practical sense in the general view as
well as in regard to the particular case.
1t was not intended in the law author
izing the post Office department to ex-
clude improper matter from the mails
that it should exercise literary censor
ship and decide doubtful matters of
propriety in books. which are not pro-
fessedly obscene or immoral. The evil
effects of such individual Judgment and
responsibility have been illustrated
throughout the whole history of literary
censorship, and it is now admitted as an
axiom that the freest literature is the
purest. There can be no mistake about
the character of the literature which is
to be denied the privileges of the mails.
and as to all others. society must take
other means for their suppression or be
its own safeguard. A rigid censorship
of the mails, as of the press, is wholly
repugnant to our ideas of republican
government. It will not be tolerated
until the government is changed to a
despotism, and all efforts of unthinking
people in that direction should be met by
a stern rebuke. The old axiom that
"eternal vigilance is the price of iberty'
should be deeply impressed on old and
Young.
