into the library 10 see him. Sometimes
Mr.. BayRrd Is first and sometimes Mr..
Lamar. The members generally come
singly, rarely In pairs. Each always
| carries under his arm portfolio such as
lawyers use for papers, only tie Cabinet
portfolios are more antiquated than those
affected by lawyers-as old probably as
Senator Evarts's hat. The Cabinet
portfolio is thing OF calfskin, about
24x20 inches. II has a single pocket GOV.

fastened by two straps and buckles. Some
ot these portfolios are probably hun.

Owing to the backwardness OF
the season, we delayed going to
New York until late. BY SO doing
we gained the advantage of the

We are now prepared to offer to

GEN. CHI. HOWARD, ex.United State
Indian Inspector, concludes an, article il
the Independent of April 9th, with thes,
pertinent facts and suggestions:
The missionary boards ask for funds fo
the support Of schools and missions. They
do not get what they need. Is 1t becaus,
their natural constituency in the churches
have no sympathy for the IndianS Do no
the Christian people Of America care a
much to save an Indian as a savage o.
Central Africa, or a cannibal of the Pacif,
Islands? The fact that Indian Rights AS
sociations are forming all over the land Il
answer enough to these questions. Only
a few days ago an Indian missionary re
turned TO his field after two months
campaign In New England, where, with
native Indian helper, he has been ad
dressing the churches on behalf of his
work. He stated that there was no diff.
Guilty in securing good audiences, and
what was better, some six thousand dol.
lars were contributed or pledged for his
cause.
The new Indian Rights Association,
forming branches in all parts of the coun-
try, the missionary societies or boards, and
the devoted workers in the field, men and
women, are always ready to furnish infor.
nation. Facts are the only ammunition
required In this warfare. The enemy Is
ignorance, prejudice, Indifference, apathy,
closely allied. On the other side ure men
and women saved, from many different
tribes; churches gathered; orderly, self.
supporting communities; schools where
good progress is shown from year to year;
entire tribes living by agriculture and
without any issue OF government rations,
and other tribes living by pastoral pursuits.
In some sections Indians, who, thirteen
years ago, wore the blanket and thought 1t
degrading to werk, may now be seen in
citizens clothes following the pillow, or
riding the moving machine, or driv.
ing their own oxen with loads of
hay or grain. They have taken up home.
steads, and have cast their ballots undis.
puted at county elections. They have
their church, and one of their number,
who was, fifteen years ago, "lazy, long.
haired chief" in his leggins and blanket,
stands upsn the platform before the con.
gregation on the Sabbath, reads the sacred
word, leads inextemporaneous prayer, and
breaches the Gospel. His own presence
there, and changed appearance and char
acter, are the best witness OF the truth and
power OF that Gospel. ~"
Very little, too, has the Government, in
any Of its departments, contributed 10 this
result The more, therefore, could ! en-. |

GENERAL GRANT.
IL the Old Hero Dying Because OF
medIcaI Intolerance


The American HOmGopdtlltst has an
article on the treatment OF General Grant
| by the Allopaths, 10 which II says
General Washington was murdered by
his medical attendants; but at least they
were heroically-too heroically endeavor-
| ing 10 extinguish the disease. Their brutal
| ity was OF the active sort, and in purpose
commendable. though disastrous in result.
| Gen. Garfield was maltreated for months
under IN error OF diagnosis, and at last es-
capped beyond the reach Of his eminen tor
turner's. Here, also, there was much medl-
cal heroism and activity displayed, albeit
| misdirected. Other lllustr!ous patients have
suffered from eminence In the profession (;
but General Grant seems reserved as q
shining example Of cold-blooded expect
ancy. To him the little group OF eminence
have nothing to offer but q diagnosis. For
him they propose no relief but In the grave
Ignoring the only source Of therapeutic
salvation, they gather round his bedside
10 observe his unaided struggle. The nat
has gone forth that nothing can be done !;
and nothing will be permitted TO be done.
Those who question such q decision are
quacks and cranks but who ought not 70
be proud OF such q designation from such
O sourcei Scholarly, refined, cultured,
earnest gentleman as they are, Of what
avail are all these good qualities in the
presence Of such therapeutic bankruptcy
On the contrary, while so-called scientific
medicine is 10 the fore, well may the
daily papers announce In startling head
lines, A bad day for General Grant. -Sev-
en- doctors In consultation.
Yes, the hero OF Appomattox is dying
He who knew no fear In war, knows no
fear In suffering. ,Hisquiet fortitude wins
universal admiration.
President Lincoln, in visiting hospital
during the late war, noticed a poor Con-
federate boy, mortally wounded. With
his native tenderness he put his arms
around his neck in sympathy. The
sight melted the hospital 10 tears.
The heart OF the American people In like
manner bleeds for Grant, the silent
sufferer. IL would have him get well, by
any effective means.
His physicians say he cannot recover.
They nlled him with anodynes, but
despite their favorable bulletins he Ii
daily growing worse.
A specialist who has won reputation In
the treatment oil cancer visits his bedside
The opposition he encounters from tho at
tending physicians brings painfully TO
mind Che story OF the dog In the manger.
And General Grunt perhaps, must die
because Of this intolerance Is II possible
that there is no hope OF cure outside OF the
medical profcssioni
Preposterous
For years medical men insisted that GER
tain fevers were incurable, but Chlncond
proved the contrary. For centuries they
have protested that certain venal dis
orders were incurable and yet a special
preparation has cured and permanently
cured the very worst cases.

the time of leaving until the arrival
there was not a single dull moment.
The train arrived at Devils Lake about

gave a pleasant serenade. which was re-
turned in kind hy the bands accompa-

spent in sightseeing, and a steamboat
trip on the lake was one of the pleasant
features Of the occasion. All agree that

An Ancient British Tumulus.

In the valley between Marlborough

of Ogbouvnc St. Andrew and Ogbourne
st. George, is the extensive fortified
post known as Barbury camp, or cas-
tie, recorded to have been the scene Of
a great battle between the Britons aud
West SaNons. Numerous barrows are
dispersed yer the surrounding fields,
and II of these lies within the in
closure surrounding the ci,urchyard of
Ogbourne St. Andrew, but outside the
parish battle-ground; and by permits

been explored during the past week.

are the bodies OF persons who died Of
some epidemic. and had been denied
sepulture in the churchyard. from fear
of c%ontagion. At a distance of five
feet from the top of the barrow the
body of a strongly-made man was
found, with the head to north by south

taken to the city hall where he expired.
He had taken his last round. During
