WHETHER the close of the present h. dian disturbance comes early or late it is safe to say that the country will never have another conflict of this sort The people have now grown. tired ot these constantly recurring struggles and will take all requisite measures to end them effectively and finally. It Is true the same thing was often said before in sim liar emergencies, but this time the pUr- pose is fixed and will not be changed. These periodical wars are irritating, de- structive and dlsgraceful. They cost the lives of settlers and soldiers and sacrifice untold amounts of property
 Civilization over large areas of county is retarded thereby, and the. capacity of our authorities to manage the affairs iptrusted to them is thus laid open to serious assault.sThe settlers are entitled ed to the protection which we studious- ly neglect to afford, and the people are taxed heavily for the support of system which would nor be allowed to exist a year in any other Christian country un- der the sun. We have now been dealing with the Indian problem in one shape or other for about century, and appar- ently we are just as far as ever from a sensible solution of it.
 But the Indian as an armed and for
 midable foe of civilization is now mak- ing his last rally. The novelist and the painter have found him him useful for artistic purposes undoubtedly. His ex- istence and activity have served to pro- Ject. into the nineteenth century some of the valor and ferocity exemplified by the Goths and Huns of the fourth and fifth He imparts a picturesque element to our national life. He injects a dash of variety and romance into an age which mas, of the legitimate sort, too little of either. These, of course, are import ant considerations, but they cost too much when bought at the price which we pay for the aborigines. Therefore, in the role in which he has heitherto figured, the Indians career has almost closed. The list of notable red warriors which began with King Philip, Red Jacket and Pontiac will end with Sit ting Bull, Big Foot and Two Strike. Whether the later worthies stand lower morally and intellectually than their forerunners we do not sknow definitely, because of Jack of clear and precise knowledge of the earlier ones, and of the changed conditions under which the present chiefs operate. We do know, however, iwith ia tolerable degree of certainty, that the savage whose wild war whoop first resounded through New England's valleys, and who has left a trail of blood through imany of the old states and most of the new, is now out in the shadow of the Black Hill, mak- ing his last stand against the forces of civilization.-Globe sDemocrat.

A correspondent Ot the Associated Press speaking of the recent disastrous conflict between Uncle Sam's boys and the hostile reds at Pine Ridge says of Maj. $. M. Whiteside. "He was as quiet and cool as if sitting in his own parlor, and in full possession of all his faculties as if on parade, and added fresh laurels to this long brilliant record" The above encomiums on Maj. Whiteside, will be read here with pleasure. Where he has always been looked upon as gallant off cer and man estimable quantities.

THAT We are on the verge of a bloody Indian war can scarcely be doubted. That we are under obligations to the Philantrophists of Boston, and other eastern localities is likewise true. If the men who have been raised and bred with the Indians are not familiar with his disposition and original traits, how so can the party who has never see a red man outside of a wild west show. If western men had been appointed to the agencies. a great deal of valuable blood; a great deal of treasure would have been saved. The Indians require just treatment at the hands of the agent which they have come far from receiv- ing. They require prompt and energetic chastisement when they violate the law -which:they likewise have not had. The result is that they have grown to look upon Uncle Sam in the first place as "heap big liar", and the second place as an arrant coward. Old Red Cloud said years ago: "White Fathers Agent got heap big ovsrceat; heap.b pockets; heap big holes in pockets: Indian no get nothin'. It was a bite of rude allegory but painfully true. Little Wound, Two Strike, Red Cloud are all :Old men. There natural disposition is for peace and not for war. They have seen with their own eyes that the white people gre asnHmberlsss as the leaves of their ancestral forests. They can look for nothing in war but exterimation. If the government had been more just to the peaceful disposed Indians and more firm with the restless our present troubles might not have been. Protect the Indian in all his nghts, but when he goes out on the war path punish him the same as you would punish any red-hsndsd murderer. Prompt and certain,

WONDERFUL LITTLE THINGS.

A NEEDLE passes through eighty oper- atiOns before it is perfectly made
 A GRAIN of musk will scent room for twenty years, and at the end of that time will not show that it has dimin- ished in the least.
 A GRAIN of carmine or half grain of aniline will tinge hogshead of water so that strong microscope will detect coloring matter in every drop.
 THE surface of the sea is alive with vast swarms of minute organisms, both plants and animals, and the ''Chal- lenger" investigations have shown con- clusively that showers of these keep dropping day and night like constant rain toward the ooze of the bottom.
 THE wings of a fly are used with great quickness and probably six hundred would carry the fly about twenty-five feet. but seven-fold velocitycan easily be attained, making one hundred and seventy-five feet per second, so that under certain circumstances it can out strip a race horse.
 IN sour paste, the milt of codfsh, or even in water in which vegetables have been infused the microscope dis covers animalculi so small that millions of them would not equal the size of a grain of wheat. And yet nature, with singular prOdigality, has supplied many of these with organs as complete as those of a whale or an elephant.
 TIE thread of the silk worm is so small that an average of forty-two of of them are twisted together to form a thread of common sewing silk; that of the spider is many diameters smaller. Two drams of spider web by weight would, if stretched into a straight line, reach from London, England, to Edin- burgh, Scotland, a distance of over 400 miles.
 PLATINUM and silver can each be drawn into wire many times smaller than a human hair. The former metal has been drawn into wire so fine that twenty-seven of them twisted together could have been inserted into the hollow of hair; that is, if human being or a human-made machine could be found minute and precise enough for such a delicate undertaking.

WHAT SOME NATIONS SMOKE.

RUSSIAN cigars are simply long rolls of evil-smelling leaf and are only smoked by the "mOujiks," or peasants.
 ENGLISH cigars are made of American tobacco, but fail in manipulation. They look bright and wooden" rather than like natural-leaf product.
 THE French cigars are very poor, but as the Government controls the indus try the people are obliged to use them or pay high prices for Havana goods
 THE cigar of the native Bornean living in the Indian archipelago, is black roll three inches long, tapering to either end, the outer leaf covered with a network of gray veins, like cob-web.
 THE Patagonian cigar is made of ''petihoby" tobacco and is three inches long, quite straight, of dull gray-green color. It would take courageous man to try it, yet the native children smoke them all the time.
 EGYPT uses a heavy black cigar, shaped like a barrel, not quite three inches long. It looks strong enough to draw load of wood and has thick white veins upon it's wrapper, which look like pieces of string rolled around it.
 POSSIBLY the most expensive cigars ever made were the 10000 Havanas made for Spanish Marshal Prim as a present for Napoleon H., each cigar being stamped with the imperial N in gold. They are said to have cost S12,OOO.
 THE Italian cigar is National insti- tuition. It is eight inches long, with a straw through it, and is remarkable for the fact that the manufacturer exhausts all the fertile resources of his nature in making it so that it will not light
 IN Hindostan the konds have for ages allowed their hair to grow to great length, which they twist round and round the head and fasten into a knot in front, in which they carry few cigars made of tobacco rolled in green leaf
 THE cigars of Germany are bad. From those smoked by the Emperor down they are the vilest trash, yet this is due only to the public taste, for some very good cigars are made by the Germans, but the demand for them is very lim- ited.
 THE first cigars made by the Spaniards were of tobacco loosely rolled and held together by the silken lining of corn shucks and always with straw running through the center, to be withdrawn be- fore smoking, so as to secure a good draft.

INDIAN REGIMENTS.

The Secretary of War proposes to en- list two full regiments of Indians into military service of the United States, says the New York World.
 The plan has number of advantages and it is not surprising that the com mlttee on military affairs thinks we'll of it. Most undoubtedly these troops would light nobly. The Indian is built, like the bayonet, expressly for war, and is of no use fer anything else, unless possibly show. He is fairly amenable to dis cipline, and would never desert so long as the commissary had side of beef or the quart: rmGster plug of tobacco. It would afford him great pleasure to cut any other lndian't u .oat If of a different tribe from his o@L, and he could be thoroughly relied on to march, fight and stand post, though confessedly weak on such points of war as currying the Colonel's horse or blacking the Captains boots.
 The great difficulty in the way of the scheme, however, is the muster-roll. The Indian has To baptismal name to speak of, but is for all that about as well pro- vided with cognomen as tine King of Portugal. In fact he has three sets, all pretty heavily embroidered, and will an swer readily to any one of them If there Is anything at the end of it. Thue he has bis name in his own vernacular, than that the name in our veIiacular and thlrd and lastly, brethren, his name in the vernRcular of the frontier post. The same man is indifferently O-hoo- ow-ow- w-chow-chow, the Bear-that- stands-up- -to-drink, or Jim jam Joe. Now, no officer could ever keep the run of thousand Che-no- -hi-yi-no-kas, and as little could he manage an inn mense menagerie of bulls, bears, wolves and foxes, every one of them with a descriptive list as long as the animal It. self Take the frontier name, and what sort of "a roll-call would this be: Sergt. Billy Guzzler, CorpI. Carackaloo Charley.  Private Marrow-bone Pete? The Indian is very sensitive to rldicule, and the first time a tenderfoot exploded at this Praise God d-Barebones string of names there would be the biggest kind of a mutiny.
 Possibly the chaplain could christen | the crowd into some sort of order, but what deplorable lot of Ezekiels, Jede- diahs and AmInadabs a thousand Ogal- all as would be.
 Names are things, and if We can solve this problem the Indian question is set tied. The Lord made our red brother man of war, and with plenty to eat and a shoRy uniform to wear, drum to beat and gun to carry, he would be be happiest creature on the face of the earth.

4 DOCTORS REBUKK. Immensely More Mischief than fs Gen.
 erally Suspected.

Dr. King, the eminent medical writer, fin 6 learned disquisition on our national com plsint, constipation. says:-
 The great quantity of csthartic pills, etc, which are annually swallowed by the people of this country has been productive of immensely more mischief than is generally sHspected True, the physic unloads the bowels, but in 90 doing it's action tends to diminish the tone of the intestines: 90 that, instead of removing the eostiveness, it sggrayates it, leaving the bowels in more torpid condition.

SOMETIMES it is a little eccentricity which gives man fame more than the possession of rare qualities of personal character. General Francis E. Spinner
 who was treasurer of the United States from 1861 to 1875, was financial officer of the highest executive ability, of the most consclentious integrity dur ing the most trying financial perlod of our national history, but he will be re- membered by thousands, not so much for this, as because of his peculiar, spidery, non-counterfeitable autograph
