The diamonds worn this season in Washing.

the Oldest families in England, and the dia.

in December, 1873, and Mr.. Charlton's family
IN England showed her from the first as much
attention as if she had been princess of the
blood royal, his father and eldest sister even
coming to Washington especially to see her
the year before the marriage. Mrs Charlton

For some days past the Importers Tea Com
pany Of New York, have been running
branch store at 431 Congress street, giving
with every can Of tea or coffee sold AN article
of value" Complaints having been made
against the managers for running lottery or
gift enterprise, the attention OF the Attorney
General was called to the matter, and at his
suggestion the whole subject was referred by
Mayor King to City Solicitor Locney, who
yesterday, after a careful examination of the
case concluded thst the company is not run
ming lottery.
Section 16, chapter 1913 R. s. imposes
penalty on whoever sells or offers for sale
prize candy in packages containing or purport-
ing to contain a gift or prize" The next Legis-
lature may perhaps, insert after the word
"capdy," the word "other articles but at
present there is no law that can prevent the
Importers Tea Company from making presents
to all who purchase of it. A precisely similar
case was that OF A. W. Lowering, the book
seller. Hon. Fl. B. Cleaves was at that time
City Solicitor, and he decided that there was
no law that could reach Mr.. Lowering.

Am Important Fyase.

The case Of David Robinson We. Portland,
Bangor and Machias Steamboat Company was
assigned for the present term Of the Supreme
Court at Rockland 1t is an action to recover
for wages for about three months as master OF
the steamer Charles Houghton, and was tried
at the September tern, 1882, before Judge
Barrows; the plaintiff recovering verdict for
SSO7. The defence set up was that the Hough-
ton was run in opposition to the Mount De-
sert, from which Captain Robinson had been
dismissed as master, and that he agreed to
take the risk of tie opposition being profita-
bic one and was to receive no pay as master
unless the boat made money. Mr.. Cushing.
the manager of the company, testified explic.
lily that this was the bargain made between
him and Captain Robinson, and the latter tes-
tilted with equal explicitness that it was
agreed that he should have the ''going wages"
and the verdict allowed him pretty nearly that
sum. This verdict was set aside by the Law
Court because Captain Robinson was allowed
to testify that freeman, the clerk of the boat,
who died before the case came TO trial, stated
to him while the boat was running, that Mr..
Gushing had instructed him to pay him
money at any time he waEied it. The Court
held that this testimony should have been ex
cluded; that it could not be- received as an adj
mission OF Freeman, since he, having nothing
to do with the making of tho contract, was
not in position 70 make admissions in regard
to It, nor as an admission of Cushing as it
came too near hearsay to be receivable from
that point OF view. The main question at is
sue this time as before, is likely to be the
question of veIac'ty between Captain Robin
son and Mr. Gushing as to What was the con-
tract made between them, it not being pre-.
tended that any other party was present when
1t was made. Mr.. Moitland for Robinson, and
Mr.. Gould for the steamboat company.

Commiss oner Taxbox, of Massachusetts,, at
the Falmouth Hotel, last evening to make in
quiries as to whether his visit to this city

Justice 20 the Red nTan.

10 the Editor Of the Press:
The Woman's National Indian Association
is an org anization of phianthropic women
that seek justice for now rapidly perishing
race. The association is inspired to special ac-
tion because of the alleged wrongs to the Ma
vlio Indians, whose reservation is on the line
between New Mexico, Colorado and Utah,
and who are now being driven away by the
surges of civilization. Doubtless all that d
charged as bad faith and fraudulent dealing
with the Navajo Indians, is substantially true,
and it is simply the repetition of the history
of nine.tenths of the Indian tribes.
And it is idle to stem the tide of destiny.
The red man will recede as the pale face adj
vances, and the necess ties of civilization de-
mand it. But the Woman's National Indi-
an Association understands the fundamental
error of the government that is the fruitful
source of Indian wrongs. Dishonest Indian
Agents, and reckless pioneers would BE- COM
parativelY powerleSs TO wrong the Indians, il
the government extended its laws and opened
it's temples Of justice to the helpless savage.
The Womau's Association strikes at the
exact source of Indian wrongs, In demand
ing that the Indian shall Re made equal with
this white aud black man before the law. The
civilization Of the still semi-savage tribes
would be hercuIean task even under the
most favorable circumstances, but what is
there to incline the Indian to civilization
that withholds from him all its protective
feature?
The Indians arc thu wards OF the nation.
They are hapless and helpless, and they APP
peal TO every consideration of justice and hn-
manity. They should be the equal of ali 9TH
ers before the law. They should have houses,
churches, schools, and the fullest protection Of
the lsw as we'll as its punishment for Indian
crimes, and they should Re bountifnly fed and
clothed as the march of civilization desolates
their hunting grounds. The protection of the
Law is the greatest need of the Indian, and it
is this important question which is now being
most earnestly agitated by the philanLhropic
women of the National Indian Association.
A great interest is now felt in the missionary
work among the Navajos of New Mexico.
This is the initial work of the Woman's Asso-
citation, under whose auspices box of cloth
ing will be sent froln Portland in April.
The Navajns are a self supporting tribe and
the plea they make 60 their more fortunate
brothers is s'send us plows, hoes, spades, wag-
Gus, seeds, bat abose all, teachers for our chill
dren, and men and women to teach us the
white mans ways" Two ladies will shortly
be sent out, one for teaching and missionary
work; the other for reforming the Indian
homes, x
