The only people who appear to hope for
something from the Indians are the Indians
themselves, who are being fed, and the pro-
fessional humanitarians, who are supported
in their work either from the United States
Treasury or from the funds of religious soci-
eties bent upon adding to the membership
of their various denominations. The game
does not seem to be worth the powder, or,
perhaps, more than the powder, that will
blow it up.
Taking the most humane view the despair
ofhumanitarians gives practical complexion
to the theory of the military, that they
should be kept under strict military super
vision, and taken out of the hands of the
civilians altogether; their possessions cur
tailed, that they may not uselessly overrun
land that might be made to blossom like the
rose by industrious whites, who are now beg
ging for work; giving farms to the few who
will work among the Indians, and establish
ing vast military poor asylum for the re-
mainder; the humanitarians and religious
teachers to have full sweep among them, but
not to be paid from the public funds.

ITALY is horrible example of the
effect OF the maintenance of u standing
war establishment upon a second rate
power. Italy has not fred gun for
these many years, but she has been
drifting into insidious bankruptcy be-
cause she has felt compelled to keep
abreast Of Germany. France and Aus
tria, or as nearly abreast as her bor-
rowed money would permit. Now the
country is a financial wreck and its
citizens as individuals are sinking low
or and lower in tho hopeless contest
with their conditions or are emigrat-
ing. The United States might solve
the negro question by buying Italy for
colonization purposes.

Odd and Valuable Book mark.

Aaron Holman, lifelong resident
of West Millbury, died a short time
ago, leaving an estate valued at near
ly $4,000. When the administrator
examined his effects he found. among
other things, an old-fashioned clasp
Bible that Mr.. Holman had been in
the habit of reading every morning
before breakfast. The administrator
was told that the owner OF the Bible
had used . very odd-looking book
mark, and looked to see what it might
be. His surprise was very great when
he discovered it to be a certificate OF
deposit OF 800 in the Worcester Safe
Deposit and Trust company. The de-
post had been made in March, 1881,
and for ten years the 500 had been
drawing interest at 3 per cent. The
old man had evidently felt wealthy
enough to use this valuable bit Of pa
per as mark in his Bible, and thus
combined finances and gospel inside
the same covers. Worcester Gazette.

THE Italians in this country who
are trying to educate and otherwise
elevate their fellow-countrymen here
should have the hearty cooperation Of
all true Americans. 1t should be re-
membered. however, that the best
means to make Italians good citizens
is to break up their clannish proclivi-
ties and dispense them through the
country. Huddling together in cities,
uneducated. they only perpetuate
their own degradation. No other ma
tionality has kept aloof from farm
work as has the Italian. Yet in work
for contractors they often are called
upon to perform severer labor than
they would be obliged to do on farm,
and for less net pay than good farm
hands earn. There is a great scarcity
Of farm laborers nearly everywhere
Let as many Italians as can help t.
fill this gap. They will do more thar
earn money on the farm. They will
get in the way to become industriou
and intelligent citizens of the republic

come here with little more knowledge

All, heavy was my dream!
Methought within my garden
There bloomed sweet rose marine,
A churchyard was the garden,
A grave each How'ry bed,
And crown and buds dropt withered
From all the trees o'erhead.
And, when the buds l gathered
Into a cup of gold,

All shattered in the mould.

And dew-drops ruby-red.
