the way for a council of all the Indians in
terested, at which the proposition of the
Government to buy the Black Hills shall
be submitted by commission. Every in.
terview of the Indians with the President
and officers of the Department OF the In
terror was made to bear steadily in this
direction, and q strong impression was
made upon the Indians, first, as TO their
own necessities, that they are now actually
subsisting, not upon treaty guarantee, but
upon the charity of the Government, which
may at any session of Congress he denied
them, and that, therefore, they should
improve their condition by making sale
of a portion of their real estate; and
second, by assuring them that probably it
was not in the power of their Grea Father,
or any of their friends, for any length OF
time TO prevent evilly. disposed white PET
sons from getting through the military
lines into their country and that for the
sake of peace and their own welfare in
every respect they should consider the
proposition of the Government to purchase
a portion of their reservation. These in
terviews with the President, Secretary OF
the Interior and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs were largely successful to this end
and the Indians, who were at first unwill-
ing to talk, even with the President, in re-
gard to this cession. said, in a final inter
view with the Commissioner, that, while
they were very sorry to hear such words,
they would go home and report them faith
fully to their people, and advise them to
90 the best that could be done.


1t is proposed TO have a commission to
treat with these Indians so composed as to
fairly represent both parties Interested
men who know the Indians and are ia
miliar with their wants, and who on every
occasion will carefully consider their in
terests, and men who are known to the
people as abundanlly able to take care that
the public interests are in no wise neglected


The preparatory work of the commission
in visiting the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
agencies and the four agencies on the Mis-
souri, river will be entered upon within
few days by portion Of the commission,
who will proceed to lay before the Indians.
as they are gathered at their re-
spective agencies, the wishes of the De-
partmenG and invite them to send delega-
tions to grand council, to he held on the
Missouri river some time in July. At this
council all members of the commission will
be present, and an effort will be made to
obtain the consent of the Indians 10 the
REIMBURSEMENT, for fair consideration, OF
the unceded country in Wyoming known
as the Big Horn mountains. and the cession
of such portion of their permanent reservA-
ton as shall be determined by the Presi-
dent TO be desirable for mining purposes.
The question of compensation will natu-
rally involve consideration of the fact that
in any event, whetherthe purchase is made
or not, the Government has these Indians
upon its hands, and will be obliged by
every consideration of humanity as we'll as
Ofpublic interest to provide quite largely for
their subsistence for many years to come.

IN our last weeks telegrams there was but which we didn't. It was from a San Diego Union letter which went on to relate how that Mir. Chas. J. Fox, c.

We told MT. Fox's tale to a Mexican friend of ours and he couldn't see the point; wanted to unfortunate man didn't have enough of them. We finally had to explain to our friend that MT. Fox was agtating the whole Pacific slope and trying to make a future party issue out of the fact that he had been compelled to live for three days on beans. Our cortezian friend not under standing, and beginning to look little angry we called in several interpreters, fearing that we hadn't translated the story properly, from English into Spanish and from Spanish into English" We went over the ground again and introduced the name of ChimIhueva as frequently as we could without obscuring the facts, and our friend wandered further and further from the point and at last became down right angry under the supposition that we were joking him, and we were mighty glad to get him out of the house on a sort of com promise. MT. Fox should be careful how he starts these little stories. He should re- collect that there are national prejudioes in diet as in all things else and that while one man likes his "wheat bread and chicken fixens," another mans ideas of heaven might be of place where he would have beans till he couldn't rest

The Iowa Supreme Court recently
decided case Of some importance to
counties in the State. The Treas
urer of Warren conaty was default
er to the county for the public funds.
He held the office for many years
and for some Of the years the county
was cut off from all remedy by the
statute Of limitation. IN action was
commenced against the sureties on
his official bond, in the name Of the
State, the prosecution claiming that
the bond was given to secure the
State as we'll as county. Judgment
was given for the State IN the lower
court and the case was appealed.
The Supreme Court held that an
official bond of county officer is not
to the benefit of the State, and is no
security to the State SO as to give
the State comities thereon, distinct
and independent Of the. county, or
enable it to maintain an action after
the remedy of the county had been
barred by the statute Of limitation.
The bond of public officer is TO be
constructed as security only to the
body polite or civil corporation of
which he is an officer. The bond of
a county treasurer is security to the
county. The State is fully protected
by statute from loss by defalcation Of
county officers ind pendent of any
action upon their bond. The State,
by bringing an action upon the bond
cannot avoid the bar of the statute
of limitation wh'ch runs against the
county. II the county is barred the
State is barred, else the State might
recover, and the county ultimately
receive the benefit, and be discharged
from absolute liability incurred On
account of the defalcation. The
Court held that If the State could
maintain an action at all it could only
do SO as a representative of the coun-
ty and for the benefit of the county.
The general statute of limitation APP
plies to actions brought in the name
Of the State, for the use of indi-
viduals or corporations against whom
the statute would run.

In the recent eloquent dedicatory
address of President Seelye, of Smith
College, Mass, the Importance ofmath-
ematical knowledge was illustrated as
follows:


at would be easy to show the in
creasing Importance of mathematics
to practical life, the assistance it gives
the sailor and the engineer, and our
Indebtedness to it for the most highly
priced comforts of our civilization
But it is not for its practical utility
that | advocate its place in the high
er education. That utility, indeed, is
due to the study, which had no thought
of practical results. Nor does it owe
its place to its Importance as mental
discipline, although the testimony of
many generations of educators bears
witness to its value as an intellectual
exercise. Rather would l Justify the
prominence of mathematics in the
higher education because it is the stu
dy, above all others, which gives us a
knowledge of the mind in Nature. To
it, more than to any other source, we
are indebted for what we know of the
physical sciences. Long ago its i'm
portance in astronomy was recognized.
1t made familiar to our common
schools the secrets of the earth's mo-
ton, of day and night, of the changes
of the moon and the tides. Problems
in the starry armament, about which
the wisest sages for centuries We're
hopelessly puzzled, mathematics has
enabled school boys to solve. Yet its
triumphs in astronomy represent only

Lady of the sparkling eye,


With the saft luxuriant hair,
Beauty beams in every glance,


Thou art passing fair;
And thy thoughts are free and gay
As the summer winds at play;
Beauty is a glorious dover,
Didst thou trust its magic power?
Gentle are the words of love,
All is bright below. above;
This enchantment may depart;
Therefore, lady, school thy heart.
Lady, there are many eyes


That on thee will kindly beam,
Winsome as the suns last ray


On the ripping stream:
But there may be one deep glance.
Caught amid the flying dance,
That will haunt thee like dream,
Making all else worthless seem;
And TO mock thy misery,
1t Was never meant for thee;
Rouse thee ere the seal is set:
Teach thy fond heart to forget.
Lady, there will come 10 thee


Visions beautiful and bright,
Bathing thy immortal part


In resplendent light
Spirit music thou shalt hear.
Never borne 10 mortal ear:
Glorious things too bright to last,
on renewed, as often past;
Glimpses of a purer world,
When spirii-wiugs shall be unfurled +;
Struggle sgains, heart of care
Lady, breathe the purer air.
Lady, passing years may throw


Shadows DER brow 50 fair:
Steal away thy checks warm glow,


Silver thy dark hair;
New thy life is in its spring,

Above the wiiherei flowers that lie

Swayless by the passing breath
Nerve thy soul by noble deeds,

1t is now claimed that soaking sc cd.
wheat in brine before sowing Is a pro-
lection against the chinch bug. Wheat
fields side by side, one treated in this
way and another without the use OF
salt and soaking showed the great effect
of the latter. While the one was not
worth cutting, the other was as good
as could be desired. Again, another
farmer whose spring wheat was good
height, and the bugs were destroying
it, sowed salt broadcast over the
ground, and in a few days not bug
could be seen. So affirmsa correspon.
dent of the Rural Neao- Yorker


The culture of trees in the United
States is becoming more extensive
than many suppose. Under the act of
Congress Offering one hundred and
sixty acres of land to any person who
would plant forty acres of them in
trees and cultivate them for eight
years, about eleven hundred persons,
it is stated, had taken up one hundred
and seventy thousand acres of land in
Minnesota up to January. The de-
mand for young trees to set out this
spring in California is very great.

The Nation does it up In this style I" The
savage makes no change of toilet for the even
ing. He dresses for war and religious ceremo-
MES, but he goes to a social reunion or feast in
such clothes as he happens to have on when the
invitation finds him. The plain man of civilized
life, under similar circumstances, puts on clean
shirt and his best suit OF clothes. This suit,
among the European peasantry, is apt to be
simply of the came cut and material as the work
ing suit or, as it would be called in Brooklyn,
the garb of toll, among Americans it is black
suit, like that OF a Clergyman and includes
silk cravat, generally black, but permissibly
colored. The whole matter is, however, one
of pure convention. Now, it has been found of
late years matter of convenience, especially to
hard-working men and men of moderate means,
who are exposed to the constant social demands
of the great cities of the world, to have cos
tune in which one can appear on any festive oc-
casion. great or small, which ALL gentle or sim
Pile, are alike expected to wear which is neither
rich nor gaudy, and in which every man may
feel sure that he is properly dressed, and the
dress fixed on for this purpose throughout the
civilized world is the plain suit of black, with
the swallow tailed coat, commonly called


evening dress Nothing can be simpler or
less pretentious, or more democratic. No
body can add anything to it or take anything
away from it. Many attempts to modify il
have been made during the last thirty years
by leaders OF fashion, and they have failed be-
cause it meets one of the great wants of human
nature. Nevertheless it makes its way with
difficulty. 1t is only within the last fifteen
years that it has obtained firm footing in
American cities. People looked on it with suspi-
cion, as sign of some inward and spiritual
haughtiness, and regarded the frock coat, with
its full skirts, al. s.the only garments which =
serious minded man, with proper sense Of
his origin and destiny, and correct feelings
about popular government, could make his ap-
pearance in lady's parlor. Why, nobody could
tell for there was time, not very far back,
when the frock coat was itself an innovation.
OF late-thst is, within perhaps ten years
the swallow-talls of the world have
exchanged the black or colored
for white cravat. and justify themselves by
saying that it not only looks cleaner of necessi-
ty than a silk one, and that you cannot look too
clean or fresh about your throat when you pre-
sent yourself in lady's house on festive occa-
sion. Nevertheless, the plain blunt men are not
satisfied. They do not as yet feel sure as to Its
meaning. They think it indicates either over
thoughtfulness about trihes, or else leaniny,
slight though it be, toward despotism and free
trade. They will now all, or nearly all, wear
evening dress with black cravat, but even
those Of them who will consent to put on

ness and backsliding and OF treachery to some
