BRAVO, CROOK.

The country receives the news Of
General CROOKS return from his ex-
petition, with his command in good
condition and bearing with them two
hundred and thirty captured hostiles,
with feeling of relief. Much waiting
and the memory of the lawful fate of the
gallant but hot-headed CUSTER had
prepared the public in some degree for
bad tidings from this expedition. Gem
erd CROOK, however, has proved as
wary rs he is famous, and has
profited by the example of
CUSTER. Too much credit cannot
be paid him for bringing back his
command from the jaws Of death with
out the loss of man. The character
of the country which he has traversed
has been more desperate and hostile
even than the Indians whom he has
pursued. Consisting of impregnable
hills isolated by valleys thousands Of
feet deep, which apparently only birds
can traverse, and which are peculiarly
favorable to ambuscades and Indian ar
tifices of defence, the reasonable wonder
is that any of the pursuing party should
have escaped the combined forces of
savage nature and mankind.

HELP THE INDIAN.

In aiming to convert the agency In
dams into stock herders, Secretary TEL
Ter is acting upon the views of Gen.
MILES and other army officers who
have had much experience in Indian
management. At least one-half of the
reservations, the Secretary says, are bet
ter adapted to stock raising than to
agriculture, and it is less difficult to in
duce an Indian to engage in herding
than in farming. 1t is the first, and a
very natural, step in the civilization of
nomsdic and warlike tribes, to turn
from the chase to the raising and care
of flocks and herds. Secretary TELLER
instances the Navajo Indians of New
Mexico, who were furnished with Il, 900
sheep and 1000 goats, at a cost of $50
900, in 1855. fhis number has increased
to 10000 sheep and 10000 goats, and
in 1882 the wool clip amounted to l09,-
0oo. 600 pounds, of which one-fifth had
bseu manufactured into blankets. These
Indians, numbering $4,000, have in
thirteen years become self.supporsing'
The Secretary is right in holding that
money expended in this direction is well
invested. THERE'S no reason why these
wards should be paupers or "hostlles."
They should be taught and helped to
help themselves.

a STRAW As TO TEE QUEENS
HEALTH.

The Prince of Wales bill to legalze
existing, and to authorize future, mar
riages of men with the sisters of de.
ceased wives, has passed to a second
reading in the House of Lords, and
must undoubtedly soon become law.
Hitherto the measure has failel every
time. The Queen opposed it. But the
Queen, being now likely to soon fol-
low JOHN BROWN, and the star of the
future King rising, the prospects of the
bill naturally improve.
AS matter of law, the prohibition was
always a silly one. As matter of
church discipline, the prohibition may
do very well for churchmen to respect.
But there are now more diSsenters in
Great Britain than Church Of England
men, and there is no reason why the
minority SHOULD dictate to the religious
d scipIine of the majority in matter
Oi purely public policy.

How q Mailman II II ept Gagged,
Cincinnati NCwS-Jgunpl,


The condition of Police Lieutenant
Spaeth at the insane asylum is truly
pitiable. He is manacled night and
day and confined in narrow padded
cage to prevent doing himself injury.
Notwithstanding these precautions he
has bitten himself several times. The
physicians say death will soon super
vene. The cage in which he is kept
can be likened to a trunk six feet in
length, with iron meshes, tops, sides,
ends and bottom. Soft mattresses are
placed in it one on the other until
within foot or so of the top. The
manacled patient is put in and held
PROSTATE by the attendants, who put
their arms through the meshes for the
purpose, and then the lid is let down
and locked. The mattresses holds him
snug up against the bars, making vio-
lent movements almost impossible. At
suitable times food is given through
the openings over the face.

But he hears that arman who is 'mere-

anees, Is worse than thief or lisr or q
drunkard. He feels this very deeply.
He knows that whatever else Is doubt
ful this is false. He is not so bad as
thief or a liar, and this the very first re-
ligious certainty that he has ever found,
and he found it In his own thoughts
when he was not looking for il.
He is then in fair way,if q thought

of "all or none," complete oyeShsui-
ing. The most important part Of the
argument pertains to the Bible, and he
feels the force of the objection that is
made to taking a part and leaving a
Part. He would like to receive it all as
a divine revelation, but if il is that, how
can all these different people draw such
various conclusions from it? 1t also
appears upon further investigation
that there has been much difficulty IN
past times in deciding what
books really belonged to the Bible and
what ones were spurious. How does
anyone know that no mistakes were
made9 IT, :. is generally admitted that
the espistle to the Hebrews was not
written by ST. PAUL, and many think
that the fourth gospel was not written
by JOHN. With these uncertainties,
however slight they are, hanging over
the book there would seem to be little
reason in swallowing it whole" in
taking it all uninvestigated as law and
gospel. "But how shall We know what
part to take and what to reject? How
shall We decide what part of this melon
TO eat since it is said some Of it is green
and some decayed? BY the taste or by
your best means of Judging? How do you
decide what men to trust, since in So
ciety there are many who are bad and
false: Have you any infallible rule"
Do not you get along very we'll by judy
ing each man as he appears before yeu,
without any infallible rule? Equally well
can you succeed in judging the indivi-
dual percepts or stories or books of the
Bible, but there will be no infalli bility
in your conclusions"
Infallibility should seem to be hard
TO reach anyhow. We cannot trust
priest or preacher and so go alone to
the Bible. But once the question is
asked how we know it is to be infailible

TIE Exopus 10 EunoPE.

The regular summer travel to Europe
is now at its height, and there are no
indications of diminution in the num-
Der of outward-bound tourists for at
least two months.
The travellers come from every part
Of the Country and represent nearly
every class of the population. Among
them are many of foreign birth who
originally came to the United States to
better their condition, and have so far
bettered it that they can afford q sum-
mer trip to their old home.
But the majority Of the travellers are
probably plessure-seekes, who are
looking forward with confident antiei-
pations to journey through old Eng
land, to week or more amid the de-
lights of Paris, to asojourn among the
unfading glories of Italy, to climbs over
the snow.elad hills Of Switzerland. A
few, by intellectual purpose led, expect
to sit within the little theatre at Bay
reuth; while larger number know
that the picture galleries Of Paris, Dres-
den and Florence will afford them de-
lights that gsyer sights can never otter.
Every year at about this time there
goes up a wall at the loss to the coun-
try Of the money carried out of it by
tourists. A round hundred millions
will probably find its way this yea. into
the Golfers Of foreign steamers, rail-
WAS, hotels and shops, and all of this
money will be set down by some econ
oIKists as sheer waste. Ii all we live
for in this world were to earn and hoard
money, this sort of criticism on the
fashion would be eminently just, But
is life altogether worth living if its
whole course must be shaped according
to the view ofthe sOi-disont economists"
Are there not certain pleasures which,
though secured with money, would not
be voluntarily erased from the memory
of him who has bought them, though
twice their cost were offered? Is life
