From this it can lie easily dis
covered that fencing in large tracts
Of grazing lands, out west, is quite
different from such fencing in the
nation. Here it would be monop-
oly-west, it would be something
else, because if one provision Of
the constitution cannot control
there, it is reasonable to conclude
that all others are in the same fix
imperative on account of the treaty
that made the ccssion of the lands
to the United States for q certain
purpose. In the exercise Of the
Jurisdiction over these lnnds,
which is reserved to the nation uns
til tho lands are disposed Of To-
other Indians; the Council may
enact such laws a. it may deem
necessary to protect the nation's|
interest as far as the treaty ptrll
mits. The possession and juris-
diction, to be retained by the ma
ton until certain event takcs
place, cannot be construed to be
the same kind Of possession and
jurisdiction the nation exercises
within its proper limits. In the
one, the treaty alone gives the
right, in the other, the treaty and
our constitution jointly. There
fore any authority, that can be cx-
crcised against tho fencing-in Of

sion Of the treaty, AZ construed by

WASHINGTON Oct. 21.-Commis-
sioncr Price of the Indian bureau
has transmitted to the secretary Of
the interior his report for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1882. The
commissioner says:
/ Land has been opened to culti-
vation, houses for Indian residen-
ces built, schools opened and oper-
ated, and in many cases and in
various ways the cause of civiliza-
ton generally advanced. The diff
ticulty of procuring agents of the
right stamp is regarded as one of
the most important causes which
operate to rctard the improvement
Of Indians. The cooperation Of
religious societies is regarded by the
commissioner as very important
auxiliary in the civilization of the
Indians, and he points to the benc-
fits derived from their work during
the past few years. Present appro-
priations are regarded entirely too
small to compass the ends to be OBJ
tanned within a reasonable time.
The commissioner says: One mil
lion dollars for educational purposes
given now will save several millions
in the future. 1t is wise economy
to give that million at once and not
dole it out in small sums that do
but little good. The evils Of cash
annuitics are commented upon and
an instance given where, after a
cash payment to the Utcs, 81, 600
were spent for firearms, ammuni-
ton and whiskey in Salt Lake City
and in a short time ninetcnths of
the payment went in the same dir
ection. The funds appropriated
by congress in the regular appropri-
alton bill for the support Of Indians
proved entirely insufficient, mainly
owing to the high price of beef and
-four.

Register.
N. O. Democrat.

1t is to be hoped that citizens of every
class and condition will make haste to
register, as the election is drawing near
and but a few days remain in which to
perform this duty. Great carelessness
has been shown by our people in this
respect in the past. At the late Presi-
dental election Louisiana actually
stood at the foot of the list, fewer votes
having been cast here in proportion to
the voting population than any other
State in the Union. The census de-
clares that there are 2l6,781 males over
81 years of age in Louisiana, but of
these only l04, LAS, or less than one-half
voted in November, 1880. The show
ing was Y Q worse in Orleans parish,
where 1880 votes were cast out of 54,-
499 persons of a voting age. There
were consequently more than 10000
citizens who failed to register and vote,
because it was g too much trouble.n
We fear that they are again about to
fail, at O time when so much depends
upon their doing their duty. The next
Congress will be Democratic, and Lou
isiana must send a solid Democratic
delegation to Washington to watch her
interests.
To register and vote are easy mat
ters they will take not more than two
hours at most to perform, and the citi-
zen, therefore, who fails to register and
vote is wholly without excuse or justi-
fcation. He is al enemy of the state /;
it is to him, his coWardice or neglect,
that we owe bad government.

Ben EziIl and Blaine.

ST. -
Il. A aAhtleman who subscribed to the
Ben Hill monument fund yesterday,
said
"Giveq OF course / will! I wish ]
could give fifty times as much. And
for one purpose if no other"
"What is thatq"
"For Ben Hills defense of the South
against Blaine's assaults, when he as
saulted her on the Andersonville mat
ter. No man ever did his section more
good than he did on that day. Sitting
there as the champion of the South, he
had to defend whatever point her ene-
mics proposed to attack. Mr.. Blaine
deliberately selected A~ndersonville and
the alleged cruelty practiced there. Mr..
Hill at once took up the gauntlet and
confronted MIR. Blaine with such elo-
quence and force that heswas complete
ly overthrown. Have you ever noted
the effect of that days debate 2"
"Howq"
"Why this. Up to that day even the
South was softly Informed on that SUBJ
ject that no s%outherner ever heard An
Jacksonville mentioned without o blush
and an evasion. After that debate all
was changed. From that time forward
no northern politician or journalist, no
matter how partisan he might be, has
been found to renew the charge of cru
city at Andersonville. The record was
made up by Ben Hill SO that no mar
could gainsay it. And in that two days
debate Mr.. Hill wiped from the skirts
of the South the foulest stain ever put
thereon by her enemies, and indicated
her entirely from the only charge against
her civilization that had ever been made
in war or in peace. For that one de-
bate Ben Hill deserves at the hands of
the South q dozen monuments, and l
wish he couldh have em."-ANanta Con-

Subjects for Thought.

Vouch for your neighbours honesty,
not for payment of his debts.
The manners of nature make a man /;
the manners of art unmake him.
It is true wisdom to speak but little
of the injuries you have received, OF the
good You have done.
The purest Christianity is the religion
of self conquest. W. conquer foes
by minding them.
Truth is one of the rarest gems. II
it still shines in your bosom, suffer no
thing to disp1ace or diminish its lustre.
Do you know that a wise and good
man does nothing for appearance but
everything for the sake Of having acted
well.
No man is q gentleman who without
p%rovocation would treat with incivili-
ty the humblest of his species. It is a
vnlgarity for which no accomplishment
can yer atone.
When We have practiced good actions
awhile, they become easy, and when
they become easy we begin to take q
pleasure in them, and when they please
us we do them frequently. Form then,
the habit of doing good.
Don't be d slave to what anybody is
going to say about you. If you have
enemies, and of course you have,
unless you are q born idiot, let them
ming out at you. Show the world by
your daily life that your enemies have
lied. Live lying ISLANDERS down. Lift
up your head and be Independent Of
them.
The man who has nothing to do il
the most miserable of beings. No mat
tor how much wealth a person possess
es he can be neither content no hap
ply without occupation. We were born
to labor, and the world is our vineyard,
We can find a field of usefulness alLppsosi
anywhere. In occupation we Torgei
our cares, our worldly trials, and oul
sorroWb. It keeps us from constantly
worrying and br0oding over what is in
evitable. Ii we have enough for our
selves we can labor for the good o.
others ; and such o task is one of the
most delightful duties a worthy and
good man can delight in it.

Mr.. Cavanac, the Registrar Of Voters
for. the parish of Orleans, estimates that
there are 10000 or $4,000 non-registered
citizens in the Crescent City--the ma

Magnetic the Bed


A German has occupied many years
in studying the art of bed-making, or
rather bed placing. Baron Reichen-
bash, the painstaking German, main
tains that improperly placed beds will
shorten a mans life. He says
IF a mere magnet exercises an in1u-
ence on sensitive persons, the earth's
magnetism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous life of man.
In whatever hemisphere you may be
always sleep with your feet to the equa-
Tor, and let your body lie true to the
pole"
The baron says the polar direction
of the body il of tho utmost Importance
for the proper circulation of the blood,
and many disturbances in the human
organisms have been cured by simply
placing the bolster at a different point
of the compass from that it had occu-
pied.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, is when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure ns that to
sleep in such a posture is tantamount to
committing suicide, and that diseases
are often aggravated by deviations from
the proper posture.

THE
Mathushek Upright.
The only Upright Piano which will remain
permanently in tune.

During the past five years makers of Piano
Fortes have been making great efforts to pro-
dnce an Upright which will stand our severe
climate. They have used several devices, and
have even tried tbut have given it upl double
iron plates. They have made their cases
strong with immense bookings of wood, and
still most of the Upright Pianos have not
proved satisfactory for this reason: That the
Tuning Pins in all of them are placed into a
wooden plank which is wedged up to the iron
plate, and which, at every change of weather,
will shrink or swell, thus causing the piano to
get out of order and ont of tune.
