WE had the pleasure, last week, of
visiting the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural Institute, at Hampton
Va. It is a charitable institution,
established by private enterprise, for
the education and improvement of
the colored and Indian races, and is
presided over by Gen. S. G. Arm
strong. From his Annual report
for 1884, on the Indians, we find that
the General thinks the elevation of
the negro merely a matter of time
and effort, as he is aided by his po-
sition as an American citizen. An
equal capacity has been shown by
the Indian, but he lacks that incen-
tive to progress, citizenship. The
question is often asked, what be-
comes ofthe civilized Indian. Hamp-
ton answers by showing that, of 100
trained Indians who have been sent
out since 1881, not over twelve have
relapsed into Indian ways. Many
are doing we'll, as teachers, clerks,
mechanics and farmers. Where they
are under the care fefilcient Agents
they very rarely 60 back, in spite of
the evil that surrounds them.
The buildings and outfit at Hamp-
den are all provided by private be-
nevolence, but the colored scholars
nav for their board out ftheir work
and the Indians are partly supported
by the Government, which allows
sl5s.33 per annum to each scholar.
There are at present on the rolls 1872
Indians. Since 1872 the Hampton
Institute has done the work Of a
State Agricultural College for Vir-
ginia; the Indian boys get along well
on the farm and are showing in
creased aptitude for the work.
The training shop includes car
penters, tinsmiths, harness makers
and painters. During the past year
they have put up several new build
ings, made a large amount of tinware
and harness for the Government.
The laborers are more contented
than ever before. In the shoe shop
are eleven Indians, who are filling a
large order for the Government for

rough brogans, besides some very
creditable fine work. Four Indians
are employed in the printing Office,
where they publish two monthlies
and a quarterly journal. An Indian
graduate of this school is setting
type on the Nev Era a little monthly
published at the Pawnee Agency.
The girls are taught in the sew
ING school to make their own clothes
they have regular lessons in house
work, cooking and laundry work
The younger girls give less trouble
than the older ones. The physician
reports the health Of the school nm
usually good. There is a constant
change in the school, and "the arrival
of new girls lifts at once those who
have been longer there, to a higher
plane, nothing seems to develop III
them sweet womanliness than to
thave feeling of responsibility ano
care over some new conner. If only
a true Christlike helpfulness car
take root in the hearts of these In
dian girls, we may surely hope il
will bear fruit when they return tC
their people,"
We are sorry that lack of space

A writer in Nuggets, after a visit
to the Boston Institute Of Technol-
ogy where he saw the sons Of veal
thy citizens, in the garb of laborers,
working at the forge and wise, writes
rs follows: "If the American type
of men-1the only type Of men, so far
as we know, capable Of self govern
ment-if this type is to be preserved,
and our form of government perpet-
uated. the hands of our boys and
girls must be trained. This is the
one thing needed. With such hano-
training will come better body and
a sounder mind. To preach this Cos
pei and better to embOdy it in deeds
is the highest patriotism. He who
shall introduce q thousand American
GIRLS into remunerative and healthy
hand-labor, will do more for his
country than a thousand politicians.
There is an ambition among Oul
youth to-day to live without work, tc
emulate the idle aristocracy of Eng

attainments of the few, they shut
their eyes to the vices and degrade

inc on n revolution which will shake
the foundations of society in the OLD
World. 1t is by its people, not its
leaders, that you should judge a ma
ton. The men who settled America
who fought the battles of the RevO
luton, and who have carried Oul
progress and civilization westward
were not the dependents of feuda

tary leader. They were an earnest
band of individual patriots each one
striving to do his OF her best for the
success Of the whole. This spirit o
individuality must be cultivated
among US IL we are to preserve The

IT is the fashion with great many
persons to undervalue the religious
growth of the present time. In their
opinion the world is growing worse
and worse, and true Christianity is
confined to a small circle in which,
OF course, they are included. There
is nothing in the Bible to encourage
such a belief, the church is not de-
scribed as something existing to
itself, but as a leaven that perme-
mates and lightens the whole mass /;
its growth is the gradual increase
of a great tree, whose branches Will
finally fill the land. Statistics album
dainty prove that that is the growth
that Christianity is making to-day
That the world is slowly growing
better, more moral, more temperate,
less cruel, more considerate of snf
fering, more thoughtful and regard
full of religion and religious obser-
vances. The Rev. C. II. Parkhurst,
in the american ReUielo for July,
advises those who fear that the de-
mise Of our precious faith is at least
imminent, to consult the data so nu-
merously afforded to learn if Chris
tianity is at a standstill, and if not,
if its movements are backward OF
forward But first, he says, we
should take into account some Of the
obstacles that Christianity has to en-
counter. 1t rims against the whole
grain of natural desire. 1t is a sys
tenn that requires us to love on
neighbor as we do ourselves. II
enioins upon us to cruelty our affec
tions and lusts. 1t prohibits ou
doing a host of things that we would
like to do, and requires us to do an
other host Of things that we have n'
disposition to do. Every inch thai
it has gained, or may be gaining
it has gained by square fight. An
other troublesome element fel
leenly in America, is our vast for
eign immigration and the question
able quality of a large percentage o
it. In very considerable degre'
it is anti-PrOtestant, anti-Temper
ance, anti-Sabbath and anti-Bible
If, with stream of sewage from
Northwestern Europe dischargins
among us its reelling and continu
GUS filth, it can appear that the cur
rent of American society is really be
coming purer and the faith of Jesus
gaining ground, very intense must b.
the vitalizing and defeating energy
at work among us.
The Rev. gentleman goes on t.
give proof after proof of the i'm
provement that has taken place il
society in this country during thu
last hundred years. Proofs, de
rived not from individual Observa
ton, but from unquestiOnable Stats
tics. We only regret that space will
J not allow us to give the argument
in full to our readers. But we rec
ommend those who think that Chris
tianity is declining and its members
falling away, to get the article anC
read it; and then, instead Of waiting
for millennium that will neve
come, take hold with the earnes
Christians who are laboring to eX
tend the Masters kingdom, and e
whose success the Churches, Sunday
Schools, Christian Associations, anC
Charitable Institutions that have
grownup in the last century so abun
dainty testify.

PAINTING TN RooFs.-Tin on house.
top should be well painted once in four
years. For roofs light, cool colors' are
preferable, because they reflect the
warm rays of light and thereby lessen
the expansion and contraction OF the
metal and the shrinking Of the boards
underneath, and so lessen the ability OF
tin to crack in the seams. The temper
ature of attic rooms in the summer will
be materially lower if the roof be paint
ed with light rather than dark col
or. The writer has learned from long
experience that the finest French ocher
is the most economical pigment that
can be used for that purpose. If, as is

pure Venetian red darkened with lamp
black Is recommended as the most DUR
able and economical. If by some pro-
cess the oil used in roof painting could
be prevented from becoming hard and
brittle it would be great gain. The
poorest oil paint, however, Is better
than neglect; and the best economy
consists in keeping tin entirely and

The distinguishing feature about il is an
important improvement in the method of
'stringing" the piano, which originated in
their own factory. The strings are secured
by metallic fastenings, instead of the fric-
lion of pins set in wood, as has been the
case, and the advantages resulting are num-
srous aud highly important; among them
are the following: Wonderful beauty and
musical quality of tone, far less liability of
getting out of tune, greater reliability in

twenty feet square and twelve feet high
ten degrees above the temperature of

but that eight pounds of coal is habitu-

owing to the loss of heat by the rush of
