The right man is here. Major
Henry j. Armstrong, Indian Agent,
is oneefouTth INDIAN Of the Wyan-
dotte tribe, a clean-hearted, able,
earnest, educated man, who only
wants4a chance ta bring 1he4Crows
out all right. Let him homestead

/ and some of the Indians are ready.
He began here last January, and the
results AREAS follows: ri . - p
: Yesterday I saw an enclosed and
well>irrigated farm of seventy FIVE
acres in twenty four divisions, leach
OF which had been assigned to the
head of family or lodge, who, under
the agents personal daily direction,
had each been taught to harness and
tame their wild ponies, guide the
plough, SOW and raise vegetables, such
as carrots, corn, potatoes, squash,
etc. Ninety-two Indians in all had
worked on these garden patches; all
but twenty two had never done a
stroke of farm work before. The men
who undertook this we're principally
influential chiefs, men of advanced
years who had responded to the
common~sense talk of the agent.
But few OF the young men had taken
heed. The young bucks are very
swell and airy, and some old chiefs
oesplsed it ell, | saw Plenty Coos
. (lots of scalps) and his wife Magpie
picking their own squashes to slice
and dry for winters use. Magpie
held the bag and the chief picked
the vegetables. Iron Bull, Dog Eye,
Fringe, Old Onion, Old Dog, Wolf
olnew, and many other noble looks
ing, influential men had, for the first
time in their lives, exchanged the
scalplng knife for the hoe. All were
tried warlIers, but they had
clear heads and were easily per
suaded by man VINO knew
how to do it and to lead and to show
them. Every one who had patch
of two or three acres is nov able 10

Where Columbus First Landed.

Capt. G. Y. Fox, of the coast sur
vey, has unsettled the beliefs of our
childhood and the statements of all
the aliases by deciding, as the con-
clusion of long and scientific study
of the facts in the case, that the
Island of Guanahani, or the first
land seen by Columbus, October IL,
1892, and landed on by him two
days later, was not the large island
known as Cat, or San Salvador, which
has borne that distinction by consent
Of the majority of authorities, but
WAS the smaller SANTANA, some dis
lance southeast of San Salvador.
His arguments and calculations are
all based on the journal of Columbus
and the To-, book as used by Las
Casas, the historian. The mono
graph he has produced is published

New York Herald.


When Col. Brownlow wrote the
Herald, some weeks ago, the dread
fUl story that Congressman Houk,
of the Second District Of Tennessee,
and member of Arab Hubbell's loot
ing Congressional committee, had
been confined IN the Washington
calaboose for drunkenness, a thrill
of horror ran through thousands of
good Republican nervous SYSTEMS,
for Houk is a Republican of the strict
est sort, and it is u tenet of the
Republican faith that all liquor
drinking is done by Democrats. Mr.
Houk mas explained TO his constitu-
euts however, under a solemn oath,
that if he was in the calaboose
be has no recollection If it. but
that some one poisoned hun, so that
he was unconscious for ten hours,
and while he was II this condition
the prisoners may have put him III

their leaders to keep them at home.

OF our ''pizened' Congressman:
And so Congressman Houk was
not drunk. Some 'Hnurderous vil-
