In Northern Colorado, in its main features,
appears to he about the old story. The
White River Utes are a tribe of about eight
hundred Indians, well armed, warlike, and
Of superior capacity. Their reserve has for
two years past been visited continually by
parties of white men seeking settlement and
prospecting for gold. The Indian agent
known as Father Meeker''-who, it is now
feared, has fallen a victim to the outbreak
has succeeded up to the present year in send
ing the most of these unlawful visitors away,
but their visits have been a source of con-
stant irritation to the Utes, and the tribe has
burned down many settlers cabins and fire.
quently set fire to the grass and sage-brush
to smoke out hunters and miners. Last
June there was fresh invasion of the reserve
by miners. The Indian Bureau refused per-
mission for mining operations, but did not
succeed in keeping out the white intruders.
A great deal of ill-fecling arose among
the Utes, the result of which was that parties
of the latter committed a number of
petty depredations on the white settlers of
the region outside of the reserve In July
an application was made to the War Depart
ment for troops to send the Indians back to
the reservation. The application was re-
sponded to, and from that time up to Sep
tember last the Ctes conducted themselves
peacefully.


On the Sth of September Agent Meekcr re-
ported that few of the Utes had insisted
that he should discontinue the ploughing of
certain piece of land which they wanted
for the pasturage of their ponies. As it was
near the agency and was the most available
tract for an agency farm, land as there was
abundant pasturage elsewhere for Indian
herds, he continued the work of cultivation,
after promising to remove the tents and cor
rails placed there by the Indians to another
suitable locality The Indians fired on the
plOughmen. The agent called a council,
which resulted finally in reluctant consent
on the part of the Indians TO have the work
proceed. \ few days later, Agent Meeker
was assaulted by leading chief, Johnson,
and injured badly, but was rescued by his
employees. Mr.. Meeker feared that his life
was in danger. and asked for troops to arrest
the turbulent Indians and enforce order,
whereupon Major Thornburgh was ordered
TO the White River Agency, and it was dur
ing his march thither that he was attacked
by powerful and well-armed force of the
Utes


There is every probability of serious time
with the Utes. They belong to tribe which
retains its primitive savagery more than any
other in the West, and they have long been
famous for their naughty manners and indie
pendent spirit Native industrial arts flour
ish among them to a greater extent than
among other aboriginal tribes, and they have
displayed in all their affairs high degree of
intelligence and ability. Though Captain
Payne reports that he killed large numbers
of them, it will turn out, we presume, that
the preponderance of loss was, as usual,
largely on the side of the troops. The troops
which have been ordered to reinforce Payne
make force of nearly 1000 men; and it is
hoped that he will be able to hold his own
till they arrive.

Louisville, Nov. 19.-At the recent
trotting meeting at Lexington, KY, the
assembled turfmen had their attention
attracted from the race between Darby,
Driver. Charley Ford and others by the
remarkable actions of the mare Orange
Girl, who was running loose in a pad
dock which was separated from the
homestretch by low fence. Every
time the horses in the race went up to
the stretch to score the mare would
trot up the paddock leisurely, turn with
them, keeping her eye on them, and
when they started down she would come
at full speed, until her ambition was
checked by the limit of the paddock.
The performance was repeated so often
that it was apparent Orange Girl
thought she was in the race. 1t is
more astonishing because She is not an
old trotter, being but eight years Of age

THE New York Herald, whose edito-
rials on the contest between the Demo
cratic party in Congress and the consti-
tutional powers of the President have
been the best that have appeared, makes
the latest ingenious plan Of the Demo-
cratic caucus the subject of some anu
sing raillery. The idea of sneaking up to
the presidential bird and sprinkling salt
on his tail, which is what the present
plan amounts to, is so infantile in its
transparency that it is simply laughable.
The Herald justly says that mo political
party was ever in quite so ludicrous a
plight as the Democratic party is at
present. Since it has ceased to be dam
gerous the country can afford to laugh at
and deride its follies." After describing
with much humor the embarrassments
OF the Democrats in sneaking out of the
difficulties into which they proudly
strutted, the Herald says: "The people
are not fools, and there is no reason for
lamenting that they will prevent pack
of political fools from having full sway
in public affairs. The country is to be
congratulated that so wild and reckless
a set of sehemers as the present Demo
cratic party have made this early display
of their incorrigible folly, They cease
to be dangerous when they exhibit them
selves in their true colors. They are fit
ter objects for pity and ridicule than for
grave and grim denunciatiOn."

You are earnest, you are merry, you are

one great thing lacking in you: you are

stepping aside politely for them to pass

you forget to say, "GOOd evening, sir"
Sometimes, when mother has been shop

"Let me carry that for you, mother" but
keep on playing with-the other boys.
Sometimes, when mother or sister is
doing something for you, you call out,

speaking to one of your boy companions.
Sometimes, when you are rushing out to

just coming in at the door. you do not
lift your cap from your head, or wait a

State sovereignty. as interpreted by
the Democratic party, denies the su-
premacy of the nation. 1t is under cover
of this plea that they are wasting time
at Washington in an effort to deprive
the President of the powers with which
the Constitution has clothed him. 1t was
upon this claim that the Southern States
rebelled, asserting that the national gov
ernment had no constitutional right to
coerce a State This question was sub
mitted to the arbitrament of the sword,
and settled, as was supposed, in favor OF
the supremacy of the nation. But that
settlement is now again disputed by the
Democratic party, and is once more to
be submitted to the decision of the bal
lot.


The Democratic party, however. while
opposing what it calls the Capitalization
of power, is advocating the most dam
gerous power that could be placed in the
hands of the national government /:
the exclusive right to manufacture paper
money, the representative of real money,
and making that legal tender for all
debts, public and private. That would
be Capitalization in one of its worst and
most dangerous forms. The volume of
currency would be the subject of Con-
gresSioLal action. 1t could be increased
or diminished at pleasure. The whole
business interests Of the country would
be in the hands of Congress or the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The volume might
be so increased as to render it impossible
to keep it equal with coin. A provision
making the paper convertible into coin
might be retained, but what would that
amount to if the volume should be so
large as to render redemption imprac-
ticable? There would, in that case, be
nothing to regulate the volume but the
will of Congress, or the will of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. Furthermore,
it is serious question whether Con-
gress has the power, in time of peace, to
make anything but coined money legal
tender, and paper not legal tender
and not convertible, might rapidly de-
preciate in value.


But the Inconsistency consists in State
rights Democrats, who question the right
of Congress to regulate Congressional
elections, supporting proposition to
center the money power of the country
in Congress. We do not question the
power of Congress to issue Treasury
notes, not legal tender, to take the
place of bank notes, and to be redeemed
in coin on demand, but we do question
the policy. State rights Democrats, how.
ever, who apprehend and oppose the
centralization of power, can not favor
such policy without repudiating theil
I own doctrine. -[Cin. GaZ

During the war, wOolen manufacturers
made some money. Indeed, their ability
to render their business profitable at that
period seemed to be limited only by the
capacity Of their mills for producing
goods. Everything was in demand, and
prices were constantly advancing, while
the mills were running night and day.
1t was far different with the cotton man.
ufacturers. Throughout the entire re-
bellion, most of the cotton mills were
obliged to suspend operations for want
of the raw material, and at one time it
was said there was not a single cotton
spindle in operation in the whole city of
Lowell. Many of the cotton manufac-
turers, therefore, seeing such demand
for woolens, and with no immediate
prospect of the close of the war, came to
the conclusion to turn portion of their
establishment to the manufacture of
wooden goods, and purchased and put in
operation expensive machinery for that
purpose. In addition to this, woolen
mills generally were continually increas-
ing their capacity for production; and
their entire equipment was run so as to
produce the largest possible quantity OF
goods. The woolen machinery of the
country was more than doubted during
the war, and the industry enjoyed an era
of continuous prosperity. But after the
war was over reaction came, and the
large increase which had taken place in
the wooden machinery of the country be-
came the main element Of weakness to
the industry. In the latter part of 1866
the trade awoke to something of a real
iZation Of the excessive stocks which
they were carrying, but with the en-.
larged capacity of the mills it would
have been found difficult to have de.
pleted the surplus in any event; and the
unsatisfactory condition Of things was
still further aggravated by the unload.
ing of the national governments i'm.
mense accumulations of woolens. The
army blankets and blue overcoats which
found their way into all sections of the
country at That period have not yet en-
tirely disappeared. Ever since 1866
therefore, the wooden interest has been
engaged in constant struggle against
adverse fortune, and it is not saying too
much to assert that it has lost heavily
during every one of the past IL years
1t is true that there have been indivfd
ual cases where fair business has beer

When a woman loses desire to

nal, she loses half her charms. Moth
ing is more conducive to beauty than
cheerfulness and good-humor; and no
morose or unhappy woman can be good
humored and cheerful. Then there
are vast numbers Of ill-tempered women
who are ill-tempered because they are
ugly. They do not know what is the
matter with themselves; neither do their
friends know. But the incessant neglect
and indifference with which they are
treated finally does its work Of embitter-
ing their feeling until the effect upon
their moral character is most pernicious.
Every woman ought to understand that
nothing short of deformity can make a
woman utterly unattractive. provided
she will study her points; and points OF
attractiYeness every woman has.


A thoroughly refined, graceful man.
ner can be acquired by any woman, and
is powerful charm. The best grace is
perfect naturalness. Still, you must
study yourself, and form your manners
by the rule of that art, which is but a
carrying out of the law of nature. But
if it is your nature to be forever as
suming some unpicturesque, ungraceful
attitude, pray help nature with little
art. Ii you are stout, avoid the small

you do sit on it, do not lean back on II

If you are thin do not carry yourself
with your chin prOtruding and your
spinal column curving like bowl Of a

made without ruffle or puff or fiounce
to fill up the hard outlines of your bad
figure, so cruelty defined by the tightly
pulled-back draperies. Study the art Of
dress.


We once knew very plain woman
who dressed so tastefully that it was an
absolute pleasure to look at her. II you
