SEND THE INDIAN TO SCHOOL,

Facts recently and at more remote
dates made public says the New York
Herald, show that the experiments made
at Hampton Normal School, Virginia,
in the direction of teaching young In
dians to be cleanly and decent, and to
study, think, work and acquire steady
habits, have demonstrated that all the
average Indian needs, to become as good
as anybody else, is opportunity. He
has been 80 anxious to learn to till the
soil that congressman have seen him at
Hampton, hoe in hand, working beside
the negroes. What congressman would
do as much to prove his desire to learn
how to earn his living honestly? The
young Indians arrive at the school in
blanket and breechclout, with tangles in
their hair, suspicion in their eyes and
large quantities of misplaced real estate
in their faces; they go away two or three
years later in decent garments and good
temper and with heads full of new ideas
and hands trained to work. Their pa
rents, instead of being disgusted at these
departures from the good old ways, are
delighted at the change in their boys and
girls, and the neighbors demand that
their children also shall have chance to
go to school. The Indian agents are
not pleased, neither are members Of the
Indian ring, for little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump, and if the idea of really
becoming like civilized people should
enter the Indian mind through the
medium of the children who have been
to school no power in the country can
keep up the robbery and rascality that
have characterized our dealings with In
dians through many administrations.
Nevertheless the young Indian should
be educated for his own sake, his FAM
ily's sake and that of the nation, partic-
ularly as it costs hundred times less to
educate him than to kill him, which is
the only alternative that has ever been
discovered.

Miners Drowned,

On the S1st ult:, the pump column in the
Alta mine at Virginia City, New, broke and
soon after the bulkhead in the east drift gave
away, letting in heavy rush of water. Six
men, working in the west end, were cut off.
The pumps were running to clear the shaft OF
water, and air was forced down to the men
by means of pipes. The height of the water at
the station, however, show that the drift must
be completely filed and no hopes are enter
tanned Of recovering the men alive.
On the I'd inst, raps were heard on the air
pipe leading into the flooded drift of the Alta
Mine, at Virginia City, indicating that the i'm.
prisoned miners were still alive. Richard Ben
net and Dennis Callahan ventured into the
drift in skt1, but did not return, and it is sup
posed they suffocated. Shortly afterward q
German, called "Dutch George" waded in, but
returned delirious from the heat and gas. He
reported seeing the boat and light, but not the
occupants. Later.-On the Sd inst. party of
six heroes entered the mine provided with
helmets to enable them TO penetrate the foul
reaching and rescuing the prisoners, vino were
in comparatively good condition. The bodies
of the brave men who lost their lives in the
skif were recovered.

ing.mills surrounding Pittsburg, employing 49,
500 men. The manufacturers at Youngstown,
O., have thrown out 10000 men by closing
their furnaces and coal-mines, and with one
exception, the iron and nail works at Wheeling
have stopped for an indefinite period. Thirteen
hundred men of the Calumet Iron and Steel
Works at South Chicago, are out, and in st.
Louis the Laclede rolling mill, the He]mbocker
forge, and the Harrison wire-works have shut
down. The works at Milwaukee, Wis.,, followed
in the wake of the other links of the great
chain and closed their doors, with the excep-
ton of the rail mill, which: continues until con-
tract is completed, which will be in few days.

The RENEGADE Apaches.

The Denver Tribune's Santa Fe, Chihuahua
dispatch states that Gen. Fuero, commander of
the Mexican troops in Chihuahua, with four
hundred Mexican cavalry, surprised and at
on the morning of the 25th ult., near Basque
de Santiago, and whipped them numerically.
Thirty-seven bucks were killed and ten taken
prisoners: The entlre camp outfit, including
fifty head Of stock, was captured. The Mexi-
can loss was one officer and eight men killed,
and two officers wounded. This, with the
States and Mexican troops, leaves the hostiles
badly demoratized. No raids are probable for
some time to come.

Worms and Fish.
CErOm the Utica Herald.

~ have made some of my most inter-
esting studies of nature in the morning. I"
said Seth Green. "That is the time to
see the insects at their best-to see the
mud wasps stinging the spiders without
killing them, and packing them away
where they kept alive for weeks to be
used when needed. have seen q small
green worm hanging down on a web. An
ant, stationed on the limb above, pulls
up the web and, just as the worm comes
within reach of his tiny claws, down
drops Mr.. Worm. The ant pulls up
again and again, and the worm let's out an
other reef and goes down. This sort of
thing continues until finally the ant grap-
pies the worm and both 90 down to-
gether in grand scramble, in which the
worm manages to shake off the ant.
This leaves the worm on the ground.
His web is so strong that the other end
is still fastened to the limb above. What
does Mr.. Ant do? Give it up? No, sir.
l have seen him 60 up the trunk of that
tree, crawl out on the same limb and 20
to work again pulling up the same web.
Then after another battle, I have known
the ant to get the better Of the fight and
lug the worm off to his hole, three rods
away.
"Why, talk about reasoning powers {!
The perseverance, and instinct of these
little creatures is wonderful. People 90
out to fish. They splash around, stand
up in the boat, drop their lines three
feet away, and wonder because they
don't catch trout. They forget that
troot can sec. Fish leara the tackle and
fish are, as rule, local in their habita-
tion. There are not as many gypsies
among fish as among men. Any man
who will take the pains to study hsh-or
who will remember a 1.-THE of what he
reads about them can catch them. They
are smart, but our brains will beat them.
l remember once of fishing for salmon
trout for long time and taking nothing.
Finally I concluded to get down and
look into the water, and so, throwing my
coat over my head, got the required
shade and peeped down. The salmon
would sail up and look at the minnow.
Then, with quick dart, he would close
his teeth round one-half the minnow and
open them again like fash. He did
not attempt to eat the minnow, and half
Of the severed body would drop to the
bottom. When it had fallen to tho bed
of the lake the salmon would go o:down
leisurely and eat it. The next time
when I dropped my hook and felt the
quick bite of the trout let out enough
line to send the hook to the bottom, and
the result was that when the salmon
went down for his meal, he was fooled
and had him.

To most people the Gen. Pope who
kept his Headquarters in the saddle :"
for Lees benefit during the war is the
only Gen. Pope. Nevertheless there is
another ex-army officer of the name who
is esteemed by the people of Quincy,
CAL, as worthy veteran and most ex-
cellent citizen. The Gen. Pope of CAL
ifornia, immigrated into that state from
Charlestown,. Mass, about thirty years
ago, leaving in the town of his nativity
lovely young woman, to whom he was
betrothed. His plan embraced the pur-
pose of obtaining riches and the under
standing that in a few years his sweet
heart should join him on the Pacific
Coast. Letters passed to and fro, but
in those days California seemed a far
away land and months would elapse be-
fore q communication from one would
reach the other. So there upstarted a
villain-not an Iago exactly, but a
smooth chap, with good looks, we'll
filed purse and q Uranium stocked with
sugar-coated lies to order. The villain
interrupted the letter-writing, paid at
tention to the girl and one day cast her
into the depths where smitten sweet
heartsgo with the story that young Pope
had married San Francisco maiden.
The girl gathered up her keepsakes and
sent them back to Pope without word.
The latter wrote repeatedly and as he re-
ceived no reply he rallied at all women
and he went to making money. Many
times Gen. Pope heard from Char]estown
but he never mentioned his girls name
nor asked if she had married. That she
had not done, for the rascal Of the ro-
nance married some less lucky lass. A
few weeks ago, Gen. Pope being in Bos-
ton, visited his boyhood haunts at
Charlestown, and while at the house Of
friend fell sick with fever. The nurse
who was called in at once recognized in
the patient her old lover, but she said
nothing of the past until he began to
tell her one day during his convalescence
how his life had been embittered. Con.
fession, explanations and preacher
brought things around all right and &c
cut short the romance.
