we take it, to doubt that the City Fathers

will run with less friction and more salts

Habitual constipation is not only
one OF the most unpleasant, but ut the
same time one of the most injurious
conditions of the human system, and
is but forerunner OF disease, unless
removed. This is usually accomplished
by the use of purgatiyes, which for the
time afforded relief, but after their
immediate effects have passed they
leave the system III worse state than
before. To effect cure il il necessary
that the remedy used should be one
that not only BY its catllsrtie effect re-
lieyes the Bowels, but at the same time
acts as tonic, so ms TO restore the Oh

our years ago, although the new
corners were apparently well pleased,
As an ns'ance Of the rapid strides the
Cheyennes are making toward civill-
cation it may be mentioned that the
aboriginal tOm-tom has been discard
ed for bass drum, somewhat dilapi-
dated it Is true, but pro-
duet of skilled labor, around which
were clustered half dozen coffee
coolers, who smote ii perfunctOrily
and extracted from its civilized dia-
phragm the needful encouragement
for the dancers. But still farther and
more conclusive evidence was evolved
that the red man is rapidly adopt
ing the manners and customs Of
his paleiace brother. In days Of yOre,
il was customary for the Indians 10
receiv largess in the shape of mouldy
crackers, wormy bacon, and such
other articles OF merchandise as the
white stomach revOlted at and which
had therefore lost its commercial
value. Such contributions were then
eagerly and gratefully received by the
untutored son Of the forest and plain,
but now his education has been
perfected to the point of passing
around the hat, which was done last
night by Two Moons, and another
aristOcrat, whose name we were un.
able to learn, with a pertinacity and
guiless effrontry worthy Of either o.

season. Having played the town FOL

against the appointment of a man as
Indian agent, ! found that they had
in Washington a peculiarly mistaken
idea on the subject. 1t is this: they
imagine that there is such a feeling
among the people of the states and
territories in which reservations are
located that II would be hardly posi-
BILE to select a competent man who
would do the Indians justice. Strange
as IL may seem this sentiment has
considerable hold. The names of sew
eral resident agents, whose records
were unexceptionable, were cited by
myself to show the fsllacy Of the ar
gument and to prove If more were APP
pointed there would be better results.
However, the feeling is that all the
officers in the territory should be bona
fide residents, and all other things be-
ing equal the app licants for Indian
agencies will have tlat advantage in
their favor.
