During recent visit to our city one OF the
oldest pilots on the river made some interest
ing statements concerning the conditions of
the channel and the possibility of Augusta
being in direct communication with Boston
thu, doing away with the troublesome trans
fer at Gardiner. From the straightforw ard
statements of this gentleman, who has piloted
vessels Of all sorts through the waters
Of the kennbec for the past twenty years,
one could almost see the stately forms of
the Star and "kennebec" moored at the
only barrier to bringing the Star to this
place even at the present time, that of
the old sunken pier, near the west shore Of
the river, aud directly in the channel, in
H,ilowel This is of no account whatever
as 1t could be easily removed. In
order that the kenuebec might be able
t. come up the river to Augusta
lsrg, amount Of dredging and perhaps
blasting would be necessary, at an immense
expense of time and money. This is practi-
cally unsttainsble at the present time, but in
sfew years at most the increase in the
freight aud passenger transportation which
must of necessity come with the growth Of
the county will demand better direct accom-
modstons Still the present four trips per
week are decided Improvement over last
seasons arrangement
If we had City Forester, or if good
man could be procured who understood the
art of thinning and trimming trees so as not
to interfere with their grscefulness and beau
ty, it would be good plan to have some of
the street and park trees in our city trimmed
up aud thinued out. But generally this
work is done in so wretehed q manner, and
the trees are so mutiIated by the process that
we hesitate to suggest that the work be done
Still there is much need Of il as any one ac-
ouainted with health or beauty will readily
see. There is far too much shade about
many Of our houses for good health and
numbers of our city trees are dying and be-
coming disnsnrea otcsuse ot V"o uehse
top. Trimming ana ]udleious pruning
would add to the beauty of these trees.
Moreover, since the city has been lighted
with electricity there is more need that the
trees be carefully thiuned. As it is now the
light. are so high that they are obstructed :
good deal by the thick-le branches OF
the trees. Thinning the trees would in many
instances render the electric lights of grestsr
service to the public-which is another reason
why this matter should De attended to.

Something About the Indians Who Have
Broken Out In Minnesota.
The Chippewas have "broke out, /" which ia
almost as much of a surprise to Minnesota as
an ssoutbreak" among the Quakers would be
in Pennsylvania. The Chippewas have been
peaceable SO long that many people would
have forgotten their existence but for the
names they scattered on the geography from
Lake Erie to Winnipeg; but the late murders
at Mile Laos show that the wild nature is
still hereditary in them.
There was time when these Indians, more
properly called Ojibbeways, were the ,terror
of the northwest, and in their long wars with
that of Homer, ending with the great Pah-
yah Goonseh, the red Napoleon of the north
west. The two tribes have been at war from
time whereof the memory of man runnetb
not to the contrary. The Chippewas were
generally victorious in the timbered region,
but the Sioux prevailed on the prairie, and
SO the Red river had become a sort Of boun-
Diary when the whites began to settle north
ern Minnesota For many years the Indians
Of one tribe would venture to town or fort
only on one side, as the others came up ha-
bitually on the other side, each party sending
in scouts to see that the other did not take
snap judgment on them. AS late as 1856
they had regular battle in Shackopee, max
ing it very lively for the white inhabitants.
Mile Laos is a lovely lake, some sixteen
miles long, and is the head Of Rum river
Along its shores is the Indian reservation,
and fish and game have been quite abundant;
but of late years there have been too many
white hunters, and many farmers have tres

Curious and the Beautiful Abundant.
Tho Home Life and Work Of An Races
IN All Ages Well Portrayed.
The American workman, to whom the pas
sage money is an unattainable fortune, Is In
vited to see the Paris expedition by proxy
and at trihing individual expense.
This is substantially the proposition Of Mr..
Edward w. Scripps, who proposes to leave
for Paris on the Oath Of July with forty rep
resentative and genuine workingmen, each
chosen by the associations Of the trade he
represents; and these forty are not only to
see the exposition, but to investigate the con-
dition of European laborers from the south
OF France to the north Of Scotland and make
q full report The claim Is made that many
valuable suggestions will be gained, even as
Americans learned to do many things better
BY seeing how the foreigners did them at the
Philadelphia exposition Of 1876. Only practi-
cal workmen will be taken, each master in
his own craft, and as each would naturally
take most interest in the foreigners in his
own lines, the variety Of opinions returned
would be amusing as well as instructive.
In the meantime an army Of reporters are
giving all readers view by proxy, and a
they are on the ground before more than
half the visitors get there and while the
exhibit is incomplete their views are anus.
ing and contradictory enough. Each one
naturally writes Of that feature most inter.
esting to him, and SO we get the impression
that the exposition is an odd tumble Of sue.
