FACTS

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
the best line west. Colo
nists are carried i'd first class cars on fast
tfaf1s, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
,ars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
Init single change of cars to Iowa,

tsges as the Baltimore, and Ohio~Its
costs but very little time and trouble

OUR INDIAN POLICY.

The western papers says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, are not at
all pleased with our Indian policy,
which, they declare, is doing meal
culable harm and laying up trouble
for the future. The reservation of
the San Carlos Apaches, for instance,
comprises, one of the Texas papers
declares, the fairest lands on the
continent, abundant with fish and
game. The Indians, however, do
not care either to hunt or fish and
need do nothing, as the government
provides for them literally. The
same paper calls attention to the
manner in which these Apaches were
treated couple of years ago when
they went amuck. They slaughter
ed right and left, burned houses,
aud ran off horses and cattle. When
the United States troops went after
them they fed into Mexico, from
which country they were finally pre-
vailed to return on a pledge that
none of them engaged in the raid
should be punished for the murders
they had committed. cit seems to
be the policy of the government for
years." the Texas press declare, ''to
grant the Indians immunity for all
their acts, and treat them with more
consideration and kindness after
each outbreak. To the savage heart
this implies that the more white peo-
pie they kill, the more property they
destroy, the more cattle they run off,
the more outrages of general char

We are much surprised to find
that the Tropical Paradise which
has been trying to open the eyes Of
its fellow-citizen of Jacksonville to
the importance of the southern trade
still persists in its work, and still
hopes that its own city can retain It's
present position as the commercial
metropolis of Florida. Has not the
Times-UniOn proved that the scep-
ter must inevitably soon come to
Palatka? Does our contemporary
venture to doubt the position which
is "beyond dispute ?" Does it hope
to change an 'immutable, inexorable
law ?" or has it the hardihood to
contest rule laid down by Mai.
Sears and approved by the Times
Union? We are afraid that the
Paradise must hereafter sit among
the doubters.

a Big Heart.

Longman's Magazine.
l have had the opportunity of assist
ing at the dissection of a whales heart,
and, though the specimen from which it
was taken was by no means a large one,
the task of dissecting scanned almost too
much for us. A slice about an inch in
width was cut from the aorta, or princi-
pal artery, and carefully dried. 1t real
~ looks very much like a child's hoop,
as any one may see who visits the anat-
omical museum at Oxford. It is calcu-
lated that with an ordinary sized whale,
say one of only forty or fifty feet in
legth, at least fifteen gallons of blood are
propelled in each heart beat. With ami
mails of larger dimensions the amount
must be proportionately increased. as is
shown by an anecdote related by the
late Frank auckland. lie mentions that
in 1880 cachalot measuring seventy
i've feet in length was washed ashore at
Whitstable While the dissector was
engaged in getting out the heart his foot
slipped and he fell into one of the ''ven-
tricle'-i. e., the lower cavities of the
heart. Thence he was sliding into the
aorta, and, if he had not been pulled
out, would assuredly have been suffoca-
ted After his rescue, he cut some
rings from the aorta, such as l have al
ready mentioned, and found that he
could easily slip them over his shoulders.
The story really reads like an extract
from "Gulliver's Travels" but has the
advantage of being a true one.

To the new line under the man
agement of Commodore Watson,
the DeBary-Baya combination will
at least meet rival worthy of their
steel. Doubtless the people will
find rates considerably lowered on
the St. Johns during the coming
winter, and thereby find some CON
ISOLATION for the shortness of the

acter they perpetrate, the better
treatment they will receive from the
government. The Indian bureau is,
generally, managed after a senti-
mental falsetto, and when the rene
gades are returned to the reserva-
ton after a bloody campaign they
are taken out of the hands of the
military, and the shrewd, money
making agent again assumes charge.
The agents always employ a policy
Of coaxing, but time and experience
have demonstrated that the Indian
cannot be coaxed. The more indul-
gent the treatment they receive, the
worse they become. Perhaps if
twenty or thirty of the ringleaders
of the last marauding and murder
ing expedition had been hanged af-
ter they were taken back to San
Carlos, the present outbreak would
not have occurred"
This savors very much of the old
frontier doctrine that "the only
good Indian is a dead one" While
the rest of the country were not al
together sympathetical with this
theory or approved it, it holds, new
ertheIess, to the belief that the gov
eminent is not making o proper pro-
vision for the Indians in the future.
1t is all very well to put them in
reservations now; but as the coun-
try grows up and these reservations
are surrounded by settlers, the In
dian question will become more and
more troublesome.
The whole plan Of dealing with
the Indians is based on the theory
that they cannot be civilized. We
have learned to the contrary of late,
and at the Hampton Institute Of
Virginia and the Carlisle Institute
of Pennsylvania the young Indians
are being rapidly converted to the
ways of civilization and decency
Even in the far west very little eff
fort has succeeded in winning sever
al of the tribes to cultivate the soil
and has gradually weaned then
from raiding. The government owe!
it to the Indians themselves and t.
the future peace and prosperity o
the west to try earnestly to civiIizt
the aborigines, as it has been PROVED
that they can bc civilized, and thi
could not be begun better than by
operating upon the young Indians
as at Hampton and Carlisle Through
them the seeds of learning and tn
advantages Of industry and ciyiliza
ton can be carried into the wiIdes
tribes.
