PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S MAIL.
Strange Letters That are Received .at the
White House.


I was in the White House the other
day, says a Washington letter writer, and
saw stack of some hundreds of commu-
nications addressed to the President of
the United States. They were all neatly
iacketted and briefed and corded up,
awaiting the Presidents return. asked
Secretary Pruden what the tenor of such
letters was.
SO, everything, was the reply. "They
are on every conceivable subject of per-
sonal nature to the writer's. Many of
them are direct appeals for money. Now
you would never suppose that a stranger
in Texas, Nebraska or New Hampshire,
or somewhere else, would write to the
President for few dollars with the ex-
pectation of getting it, would you?''
I answered that I didn't feel quite sure
about that, since women and men who
were total strangers to me frequently
came into my office and requested me to
get them pass to Philadelphia or New
York, or a government clerkship, or a
situation on leading newspaper
"Well, it's fact. There are letters
here asking Mr. Arthur to send various
sums by return mail OF express, from
fifty cents up to $500. One young lady
writes for money to buy a piano, by
which, she says, she will be able to earn
her own living. Another, a man, wants
to borrow $1OO for six months, for which
he will give his note and ten per cent.
interest"
I glanced at the top jacket and saw the
brief, ''Pecuniary Assistance.
Eyes, that's one," said the genial secre-
tary. There are good many more in
the stack. Some want official sineeures,
making no profession of services. They
merely want to be put on the rolls some
where for few months, so that the salary
will help them along. They are usually
not particular, however, whether the gov
ernment or the President furnishes the
money.
Which, of course, he does?" said l.
"Oh, yes; the same as you provide
the railroad passes and clerkships. Why,
this $50, 900 year wouldn't be enough to
pay these demands upon him personally
He can't even read their letters. It's a
very funny world this" And SO it is.

Hopeless.

Arabi's guards are anxious about their
prisoner, and watch him for fear of sui
eide, though that is unlikely with Mos
lem. He has sunk into profound sad
ness, speaks only when strongly urged,
and looks out aimlessly at the wall of the
little backyard, which is his only pros
pect, thinking, perhaps, of Tel-el-Kebir
the impregnable and that ride for life ON
horseback. His malady of body may in
crease his dependency of mind, but at
present his condition is that of pro-
foundly hopeless and spiritless man.
Toulba, ON the other hand, is full of life,
discussing pros and cons with his janitor
through his interpreter.

General Crook to the Apaches. ,

General Crook held final conference
with the Apaches a few days ago. Every
male Indian on the reservation capable
of bearing arms and not excused on ac-
count of sickness was present. They
were told the time had now come for
them to make an effort for their own iv-
ing and to govern themselves.
After being among them nearly two
months studying their wants, General
Crook said he was sorry to find how little
if any, progress any of them had made
toward civilization and self-support, while
majority of them were not so well off
to-day as they were over eight years ago
when he left them. They were fortunate
at least in having a good agent now, but
he might leave any time and one come
instead, as bad as some of those of whom
they complained so bitterly.
In future the troops would not serve
as a guard to prevent the Apaches from
being robbed and oppressed, but the
Indians themselves must, as far as possi-
BILE, defend their own rights. Their
present locality being unadapted to
either farming or grazing, permission
would be given them to select some lands
on the reservation for cultivation under
care of the chief, who will be responsible
for the discipline and behavior of the re-
spective bands.
The chief would be assisted by soldiers
enlisted from his tribe, who would habit
ually reside among their own people, the
selections to be made with regard to
character, influences and their aptitude
in acquiring knowledge of the new
duties expected of them. White soldiers
will not be employed except where the
Apaches fail to govern themselves.
The Indians must learn to depend upon
themselves for the future. The address
was listened to with close attention by
more than 1,200 warriors present who
seemed greatly impressed by the counsel

THE DOG FIsH.--At last use for the
ugly dog-fish has been discovered and the
fishermen are seizing the chance to crafty
an old spite by their capture. Somebody
has invented a process for making out of
them fish-scrap that cattle and fowl eat
with benefit. The scrap is 30 per cent
oil and with the oil removed makes a good
fertilizer. This evidently means all day
to the dog-fish, a Maine vessel having

On THE TRAm.-The Central Office

twelve and the youngest eight years.

the afternoon, and toward midnight the
parents of the lads learned from COM
rade that had been left behind that they
had gone to the West to shoot Indians
The boys had saved up enough money,
it is said, to carry them to Poughkeepsie,

it is the intention of the truants to tramp
to the Indian hunting ground. They all
carried small arms, but were not equipped
with long range weapons.
