A MODERN DlOGENES.

a correspondent of the London
Stamford tells how the Paris police
recently unearthed an individual of
most extraordinary type, an old man
named NJ. Leblond, who had hcen
arrested for completely in IA crime:
ellis miserable dress and generally
wrcctched appearance induced the
belief that he was homeless vaga-
bond. The police were, however
much puzzled by the fact that he
was in possession of a number of
important looking keys. Having
extracted from Leblond his address,
NJ. Mace, the Chiefof Police, accom-
panied him to the house Indicated.
To Nj. Mace's astonishment he found
that this was one of the largest
mansions in the quarter of the
Champs Elisecs. In reply to in
quiries, Leblond stated that it had
belonged to his family for over half
century, and that he himself had
lied there without any servant, male
or female, for the past fifteen years,
his explanation being that he was
misanthrope. On entering the
house and opening the shutters,
M. Mace found it full of the most
costly furniture, with collection of
old pictures, clocks and other OBJ
ject of art. In the principal bed
room was an antique rosewood
bedstead, the bed of which was
covered with books and engravings.
Upon the floor was a mattress with
dirty linen, the nightly resting place
of this modern Diogenes. Every
thing was covered with dust and
dirt. On proceeding into another
part of the mansion NJ. Mace found
Il small theatre with scenery and
costumes. M. Leblond states him
self to be entitled to revenue of
IA, 600 year. He is to be sub
jected by the authorities to an ex-
animation in lunacy. Whether
Leblond is his true name remains to
be seem"

ion he had just read, and Justice
Hagner had consented to discuss
those questions in seperate opin-
ion. Justice Hagner then read his

which the Usage has been changed
from a wandering, half clothed, half
savage being to a laboring farmer.
The Osages have not only become
civilized in their habits and manner
Of living, but they have changed
their form OF government. The tri-
hal form is entirely broken up. We
learn that they recently held an
election, at which a governor Lieut.
governor, three judges, eight sher-
ifs and twenty-four councilnen
were chosen.
Il has long been a question wheth-
or the Indians could be led to re-
spond to the influences of civiliza-
ton. The OsaGes have solved the
question ailirmativcly. There is an
other question Will the Indian race
bear civilization? VIII not the red
man sickcn and die under the new
order Of things, Ike a plant that is
taken from the cool shade and
placed in the light and warmth OF
the MONDAY sun? Agent Miles will
probably ma lhlS Il more dllllcuit
question than the one he has so sue
ccssCully solved. Can he teach his
people TO adopt what is good in civ
iiization and reject what is bad?
Can they be taught regular indus
trious habits, that they should dress
for health and comfort, that strength
Of body and mind depends in a
great measure upon an abundance
Of well prepared, healthful food?-

GAME IN THE TERRITORY.

One OF the most tempting bats
given hy Payne is thus mercilessly
handled by the Commercial:
For the benefit Of the Topeka
Capital we will state that the Chcy-
ennes and Araphoes do not own any
lands IN the Territory that they
have no more right to the lands they
now occupy than has the editor Of
the Capital. They are kept there
merely by executive ORDER congress
never having assigned them a per-
manent location 1t is also dcsir-
able the Capital, and in fact a ma
jority Of the newspapers Of the coun-
try who seem to have a plentiful
lack of knowledge regarding the
tcmitoly-shouId know that if all
the game in the Territory outside Of
the wild fowl, which an Indian
never uses, could be brought to-
gcthcr in one body there would not
be enough to keep onc-half Of either
Of the above tribes for one week. The
trouble with the Indians is, they
have no defined reservation or coun-
try they can call their own. They
are fed like princes at one time and
. half starved at another, and while
some attempts have been made to
teach them to be sclt-supporting,
| the efforts in that direction have not
/ been supplemented with more than
/ a half hearted endorsement by the
| the government. Give The Indian
cattle, sheep and hogs, and give him
to understand that he must take
care Of his stock and make the most
Of it, otherwise he must starye like
a shittlcss white man. If ali senti-
montalism' regarding the Indian
could be knocked out Of congress,
and practical business sense brought
to bear i'm managing and caring for
our noble rcd brother, the country
would not be startled every once in
q while by thc.cry Of starving Indi-
ans and their protests in the way OF
aWtnl massacrcs.

INDIAN SCHOOLS.

The late appropriation of IN addi-
tional $250000 year for the educa-
ton of Indians, brings forward the
question whether this money is to
be expended for reservation schools
or for schools remote from the
homes Of the Indians. SO far as we
have seen, the employees in reserya-
ton schools are faithful and indus
triOus, but the results are not com
mensurate to the effort put forth or
it's cost. Almost all who have seen
the result of educating Indian chill
dren away from their people are
strongly in favor of training schools
similar in character to those ut Car
Isle and Forest Grove. Agent Hunt,
in his last report, speaks as follows {;
a few years more and we will have
seen returned to work among their
people, not only the educated me
chanic, the shoemaker, blacksmith,
wagon-maker, carpenter, &c, but
others prepared to take the place of
teachers in the schools, and, it may
be hoped, to devote themselves to
the work Of leading theit people to
a knowledge of God. / cannot but
express myself of the very high
hopes | have Of a great good to re-
suit from these schools. Pesides the
facilities for educating the Indian
they have over the agency schools
two great advantages, the impor-
tance Of which can scarcely be over.
estimated The one is that the child
is kept from the influences Of camp
is deprived entirely of any partici
| patton in the Indian savage customs
and rites for period of years, prob
ably long enough to establish hin
in the ways Of civilized life and the
other is that the child, away from
his parents and people, can be prop
erly disciplined, which certainly caI
not be done at the agency schools
for some tribes Of the Indians viii
never punish Il child themselves
and of course viii not allow any ON,
else to do so.
Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1882-04-25

The advancement in civilization
being made by the Usage Indians
is something romarkablc. No race
of people ever made So great changes
in so short q time. Ten years ago
they were a band Of nomads, sub
sisting principally by the chase, and
living in frail and almost worthless
wigwams. Their only live stock
consisted Of dogs and ponies, and
for an Indian, other than a squaW,
to labor with the hands was thought
to be disrcputablo and degrading.
Ten years have wrought a won
dcrful change. The Osagcs have
learned that there is dignity and
comfort and independence in labor.
The soft handed warrior has be-
come a farmer He is fast changing
his nearly worthless little ponies for
horses of all work. The wigwMm
has given place to the comfortable
dwelling and its occupant no longer
seeks a prccarious living in the
woods or ON the plains. lie raises
corn, wheat, vegetables, pigs, poul-
try, etc, and sends his children tC
school like his white brother.
70 Agent l.. J. Miles is due the
honor of directing the process by
