Want the Postmaster Removed.

A dispatch from Charlestown to the
Baltimore Sun Of Saturday last says:
\ petition to the Postmaster General
asking the removal of Postmaster
5. II. Higinbotham ut this place is be
ing circulated for signatures. The
petition charges that Mr.. Higinboth-
am does not reside in Charlestown,
but lives on his farm, four miles from
the postotlice; that he is incapacitat-
ed from giving personal attention to
the Office; that he has employed as
deputy postmaster Miss Plum Gantis
of Harper's Ferry, who was deputy
postmaster at that place during the
term Of her father, Mr.. 5. V. Iantis,
the Republican postmaster, recently
removed; that by making her assist
ant postmaster Mr.. Hignbotham is
virtually continuing in office a renov
ed Republican, and that Mr.. Higin-
botham leaves the entire manage
ment OF the office to his deputy and
clerks.
Although Mr.. Higinbotham is Re
publican, he always had from two to
three Democrats employed in the Of
fee, and for a greater part OF his term
the office has been managed entirely
bv Democratic assistants Miss Hantis
remained in the Office only a week
and resigned on account Of the Ill
health Of her father. The petition IL
not looked upon with favor, and so
far only a few signatures have been
obtained. A. the Office is now under
the management ofassistants who are
Democrats and who discharge their
duty faithfully, many persons decline
to sign a petition that, should the
Postmaster-Gen actuponit, would
only result in removing one set or
Democratic assistants to give place
to another. Mr.. Higinbotham's term
will not expire until April l, 1894, and
the two former postmasters were al
lowed to serve their terms. Mr.. Hig
inbotham is popular, and has con
Quoted the Office to the satisfaction OF
the people.

The Future of the Brain.

We doubt, regarding the eGuilibri-
UNI of the head and the harmony Of
its parts, whether the brain will gain
greatly in volume. Its anterior lobes
may perhaps increase till the axis of
gravity passes the middle of the base
of the skull. Dolichocephaly will be
replaced by universal bfachyceph-
ally. The quality of the cells is sure
to improve. On that side no limits
can be discerned, and in that direc-
ton man may hope to reach the Bud
dhists IDEAL
When man shall have thus been
exalted by his intellectual faculties,
the lower types nearest to him will
have disappeared, and those animals
which are now most closely related
TO him will be no more, and the in
terval between him and the other
types will have widened to an I'M
fathomable gulf Paul Topinard in

A Brave and Daring Indian.

Twenty years ago | was a member
of the Seventh regiment of cavalry.
General Custer was in command.
and, as every one knows, he was a
born Indian fighter The regiment
had met and defeated a large force
Of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, and
they left us in possession of the field
of battle. Only one Indian remained
in sight, anu his boldness was GER
tainly wonderful He was mounted
on very handsome pony, and he
rode up and down our line, keeping
out of range of our rifles, and yet
near enough to tempt us to fire at
him.
AT each shot from the soldiers he
would shout defiance and dare us to
come out and fight him. General Gus
ter rode up, and taking in the situa-
ton told us not to fire until the In
dian came to a certain spot on the
prairie, and then all fire together.
The Indian was very graceful rider,
and as he rode down the line the sol
diers waited until he reached the
chosen spot, and then a storm of
leaden hail swept across the prairie,
and the pony fell to the ground rid
died with bullets.
We were glad to see the Indian,
however, on his feet again in an in
slant, for we hoped to capture him
alive. Imagine our surprise when
we saw another Indian coming to the
rescue. He was mounted on a fleet
footed pony, and like flash heswept
up to our supposed prisoner, helped
him to mount and before we had
time to fire shot theya were gal
Looping away We sent a hearty
cheer-General Custer joining after

recognition of a brave act. Cor. New
