aNow, think you have seen all that's

looked at some paper, the product of the

cit is all very curious and interesting,
said Miss Wright. II wonder who in
vented printing!
''That is not known" Mr.. Bertram
answered. 1t was often invented, and
lost again for want of material to print
on. The ancient Assyrians printed on
bricks of clay; their libraries are only
turning up now after four thousand
years. It takes US about as long to dis
cover backward as forward"
'sAnd what's the use of it?'' said Mr.
Wright; what the better are we to be
of what is printed on an old brick?''

A Washington special says the scheme
to build a canal across from the Missouri
to the James SO as to run the waters of the
former into the latter to be used for irri
eating and navigating purposes, is likely
to receive All airing in the next congress.
Capt. Nettleton, the engineer in charge of
irrigating surveys in the Dakotas, has
been authorized to make III examination
so that it might be the basis of Il survey
of the proposed canal. This means that
when the next congress meets there will be
something tangible regarding the POSSIBLE
tiles Of the canal, and the Moth Dakota
senators will be prepared to urge Il further
investigation. Maj. Hinton. who has charge
of the irrigation work, will be i'll the Da-
kotas i'll about three months at the close
of a tour all over the states where arte-
sian irrigation is a possibility.

Mandan Times: The Indians of the
Standing Rock reservation are soon to re-
ceive pay for the ponies taken away from
them in 1876. The amount is about 800
GOO. Now let us reason a little: The ponies
were taken away from them as a war meas
urc: The government pays for them. The
slaves were emancipated as a war measure:
Should not the government pay for them:
You may say that the Indians were not 4
nation and could not make war on the gov
ernment. Neither was the south a separate
nation. 1t was a rebellion against lawful
authority in both instances and it is as
right to pay for property of the rebels as
for that of the Indians, and in our opinion
either is wrong.
