Sept. 20 RM 5 s THE NEBRASKA INDIANS. Extracts from the Report of Samuel M. Jaoney, late Superintendent of Indian Affairs, to the Convention representing the Yearly Meetings of Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, &c ; Dear Friends : -Having, on the 30th of the 9th month, resigned my position as Superintendent of Indian Affairs lor the Northern Superintendence, I deem it mjduty toeommuuicate to the Conven- I tion a statement of the condition and pros- pcuia oi me muiau irtoes wnose weilare vas committed to my care. That Superintendency comprises six Agencies, all situated in the State of Nebraska,' namely: the Santee. Sioux Agency, situated on the Missouri River, about two hundred miles north. of Omaha City; the - Winnebago,, and Omaha Agencies, near the same river, and be tween seventy and eighty miles north of Omaha , the Pawnee Agency, about one hundred and fifteen miles west from that city, and near the line of the Union Pacifio Railroad ; the Otoe Agency, near the Kansas line, about seventy miles from the MissQixrf River; and the Great Nemaha Agency, on the Kansas line, and bordering on the Missouri. The Santee Sioux Indians number 9S7, having increased in population within the last year. They were under the care of Asa M. Janney, as United States Agent, until the 21st of the 7th month last, when he resigned on account of ill health, and was succeeded by Joseph Webster. These, Indians have this year bnilt on their allotments about ninety habitations, most of which are comfortable log cabins. Some assistance was given them in build ing, and the Agent furnished them with doors, windows, flooring-boards, and nails. He thought it would contribute" more toward .their advancement and : telf reliance to encourage them to build their own dwellings of logs, than to build houses for them, even if he had been furnished with sufficient funds for the purpose, which, however, was not the case. He supplied with a cooking stove every one who built a cabin on his allot ment, which, was found to be a strong incentive to individual effort. On each one of a large number of the allotments a few acres of ground have been broken, in order to propere them for cultivation next year. These Indians have, within the last two years, shown an increasing desire, to improve their home comforts; being no longer content to sleep or to pit upon the floor,: many of them have procured bed steads, chairs, and tables. About one hundred bed quilts have been made by the women ; a large proportion of the tribe wear citizens' clothing, and they pay increasing attention to the clothing of their children. Within the last two years a steam saw mill, !idJ a flouring mill operated by water-power, have been erceted:at this Agency. The Winnebago Tribe of Indians, as reported by Agent Howard White, have, during the last year, increased in popula tion, indicating an improvement in their moral and sanitary coudition. They have been building houses on their allotments of land ; eight miles of wire fence have been constructed, principally around lots cultivated by Indians, and four, acres of. the prairie sod have been broken this year on each of eighty allotments, making over one hundred Indian farms on which some breaking has been , done.. A large number of ploughs, wagons, sets of har ness, and cooking stoves . have been pur chased and distributed among the tribe. The men are improving in habits of in dustry, aud may of them are employed in I agriculural and mechanical labor. At this Agency three day schools have i been supported and well attended ; First- j day echools have also been kept, and i meetings for divine worship occasionally i bel l by Friends and others. The tribe now consists of 685 males and 715 fe f males ; total, 1,400. ' ' ! The Pawnees' are the largest tribe in the Northern Superintendency,' and dur ing the last year have increased in popul- ation.' According to the last report ot Agent Troth they numbered two thous and three hundred and sixty four. They mostly live in earthen lodges grouped together in villages but many of them have expressed a desire to open farms and build houses on the prairie,, in , a beautiful valley some miles distant from their present location. The execution of this design has only been prevented by the incarsions of the ioux, their here ditary enemies. During this year five of the Pawnees three of' them women and two young men have been killed on the reservation by the Sionx. It is known to taost of the members of the Convention, that the four. Pawnee prisoners confioed nearly two years in Omaha jail on a charge of murder, were, in the Sixth month la.t, admitted to bail and suffered to go to their reservation. The Chiefs of their ' tribe became their sureties in the sum of five thousand dol lars, and the Agent and myself in' the sum of thousand dollars. Uy a letter from my succeor, Barclay White, I am Informed that they have : been discharged.. He says : It is with much satisfaction I in form thee, that at the request of the Prosecuting Attorney, Cowan, J udge Lake ordered the case of the State against Yellow Sun and others, stricken from the docket, and the prisoners released with out bail, with the assurance that it would not again come up unless important ad ditional evidence appeared, and if there was none it would probably be finally disposed of next term." 13y the same letter I am informed that a satisfactory change has been made in the manner of distributing the annuity goods to the Pawnees. The Chiefs of that tribe have, by treaty and ancient custom, the privilege of receiving and distributing them, among the people.. ,.I( found they did; it .very uufairly, keeping an undue propotion themselves and distributing most of the remainder among their friends or favorites, so that the poorer class re ceived little or nothing. On application to the Department for authority to dis tribute the goods to families in propor tion to their numbers, I was informed that it could not be done without the consent of the Chiefs : They refused to give their consentj and another issue had to be made in the old way. 1 Rut some months ago the Pawnee Council, which is composed of Chiefs and oldiers, passed a resolution requesting the Department to allow the 'salaries for their services, to be taken out of the aonnitymoney, which is fifteen thousand dollars. 'On transmit ting, their resolution to the acting Com missioner of Indian Affairs, I reemmend ed that their request should be granted on condition that they would relinquish to the Superintendent the privilege of distributing the goods. This recommend ation was approved, and the Chiefs in Council consented to the change. Barclay White, the Superintendent, writes aa follows : ' "A little incident occured in our first council that I will relate. After the decision was made concerning the dis tridutioa of goods, I inquired of the Chiefs in what proportiob I should divide their " $3,000 among' ' the interpreter, Chiefs, and soldiers. ' They proposed that I should divide it according to my own judgment, but thinking the goods' dis tribution was sufficient responsibility for one day, it was declined. They retired to the interpreter's house for consultation. When we again met in the afternoon, the interpreter informed us the Chiefs and soldiers had been ; about two hours mak ing the division, using a peck of corn in the calculation ; they had finally decided to give the interpreter. 3G0, to the 15 Chiefs each $S0; and to the HI soldiers each SCO, and now wished to know if that division would foot up three thous and dollars. It required but a fraction of a minute to inform them of the result, when there was a simultaneous exclama tion, Tah wah-rax tah ! (wonderful), a practical lesson teaching the importance of school education." The wagons, harness, ploughs, mowing machines, and other agricultural' im plements issued to the Pawnees within two years past, are highly prized and suc cessfully employed. Many of the men and some of the Chiefs have manifested a willingness to labor that is very encourag ing. I hope they may soon be settled on farms allotted to them in severalty, which will be a great incentive to industry. The Government-has not fulfilled its treaty obligations to this tribe in relation to the education of its children. By the fifth article of a treaty with the Pawnees, made in 1857, they are required to keep every one of their children between the ages of seven and eighteen years con stantly at school for at least nine months in the year. This implies a correlative duty on the part of the Government to furnish schools ' for all the children ; but there are not now and' have never been schools sufficient for half the children of the tribe. In my annual report of this year I have brought this subject pro minently forward. At the Manual Labor School a First day school is kept, which is attended not only by the pupils, but by other Indians, and a meeting for divine worship is regularly held on the first day of the week. The Otoe and Missouri Indians, now constituting one tribe, number 230 males and 220 females; total, 450. There has been in this tribe a very decided improvement since my first: visit to the AgecJ 'n the year 1869 Then they .were rapidly diminishing in num bers, now they are increasing ; then they had no school' and apparently no desire for ' improvement; 'now ';!they have : a tiourisuing scnooi wnicu iney nigniy prize, and many of them are opening farms, fencing lots, and : building houses They have cut for building1 purposes about one thousand saw logs this year. The annuity of this tribe is small,' and the Agent, A, L. Green, is cramped in his efforts to make the needed improvements by a deficiency of funds. ' -:'- - At this Aegncy a f tore has been estab lished by Friend3 in Philadelphia, intend ed to supply the Iudians with useful goods at low rates. A clerk is employed to con duct it and the profit charged is only sufficient to pay cost of goods' and ex peuses, including six per cent, interest on the capital employed, it nas proved a complete feuceess; and given much satisfac tion to the Indians. : 1 . The Iowa Indians, together with the Sacs and Foxes, are embraced in the Great Nemaha Agency under the care of Aent Thomas ' Light foot. 'J he Iowas number 109 males and 106 females, total 215. beinir a small increase since last year. They have during this year been extend in" their farming operations, improving their houses, and adding to their furni ture. Most of them dress like white peo ple, and the mothers pay increased attenr tion to Hie wasninir inu urcnauiii ui. mew ! chilJren, especially those that attend school. The school kept by Mary B. Light foot is well atteuded, and the pupils make good progress. A sewing depart ment has been added to the institution for Indian women and girls. An Indus trial Uome for orphans has been estab lished, which now accommodates fourteen children and would be capable of receiv ing a greater number, if a larger fund could be had for its support. " ! At this Agency there is n store estab lished by Friends in Philadelphia, similar to that kept at the Ofoe Agency,' and with the same beneficial results. The vice of intemperance; so common and so .destructive among many tribes of Indians, does' not prevail to any consider able extent in the Northern Superinten dency.. In most of the tribes the Chiefs use their influence to prevent the in troduction of spirituous liquors, and the A ceuts punish by imprisonment or other wise, those of the Indians who are found intoxicated or in possession of intoxicat ing drink. . ! ' At all the Agencies, pains have been taken by the Agents to promote the stability and purity of the marriage rela tion among the Indians.- At the Santee Agency it has become a common practice to solemnize their marriages at the meeting-houses with religious rites. At the Omaha and Pawnee Agencies several Indian marriages have been solemnized nearly in the "manner of Friends ; the parties promising to be faithful till sepa rated by death, and signing a certificate in the presence of witnesses. Three of the tribes in the Northern Superintendency. namely : the Omaha, the Pawnees, nnd the Otoes. continue to hunt tho buffalo and generally go twice in the year to their hunting grounds, situated south of the Platte in the western part of Nebraska and Kansas. In these excursions the hunters take with them their women and children. They live sumptuously on , buffalo meat and bring home from their winter hunt as much meat and as many robes as their ponies can carry The summer hunt is for the purpose of procuring meat for subsistence and skins for moccasins and other pur poses. These hunts are not favorable to Indian civilization, but cannot well be discontinu ed until those tribes become possessed of flocks and herds from which a supply of meat may be obtained. Iheir most thoughtful men are well aware that the time is not distant' when the white man will occupy their . hunting grounds and the chase . will have to be relinquished forever. ' The Winnebagos and the Santee Sioux have abandoned the chase as a means of subsistence and are supplied by the Gov ernment with beef and flour, which are paid for out of the tribal funds. I deem it very desirable that this practice shall cease as soon as those tribes are settled on their, farms and supplied with a suf ficiency of live stock to render them self sustaining. During the last two years very liberal donations of clothing,, sanitary supplies, and money have been, made by members of the Six i early Meetings in connection with us.' Nearly all the school children in the Northern Superintendency, except those at the Santee Agency, have been clothed in this way; many garments for the aged and infirm have been furnished, and suitable food for the sick has been supplied. The children in the Mission Schools, at the Santee Agency, have been mostly clothed by contributions from members of their respective churches. . Thu peculiar adaptation of women for this work has been too much overlooked in the efforts that have been made to civilize the Indians. The, Indian women are generally less enlightened than the men, and are exceedingly shy and timid in their intercourse with white people. They love their children, but through ignorance, are not able to train them pro: perly, or' to nnrse them successfully in time of sickness; heuce, many of them die from improper diet or unskilful nurs ingi , and , those that survive receive from their mothers superstitious notions that are difficult to 'eradicate.; It7is found by experience that. an enlightened and good woman who will go among the Indian women and manifest an interest in theni and their children, can soon gain their confidence. She may then instruct them in the proper care of their children,-nod in other houschld'duties, and she will of ten '; find opportunities ot imparting religious knowledge, which, being as sociated with deeds of love, will make a lasting impression'.'" '- "f ' ' ' . In this manner t feel assured that the just and, humane; ( policy of President Grant may be successfully carried into practice, and the Indians not only saved from extinction, but prepared to perform the duties and enjoy' the privileges of American citizens. ', The'Delegates from the peveral Yearly Meetings have, reported the following amount of funds, and the estimated value of clothing and supplies,' sent to the Agents, for the Indians under their care during the years 1869 and 1870.

Among the passengers on the train bound south last evening was a man born and raised in the County of Otsego, N. Y.' His name is William Jacobs. He prides himself on three well developed arms and hands, the member extraordi nary having grown above the right should er-blade. .It. hangs suspended down the back, and can be raised and lowered at will. In length it is shorter than the arms proper, but possesses extraordinary muscle, which he displays whenever oc casion demands it. No person passing through a railroad car or. meeting him upon the street would observe any de formity ; but after becoming coguizant of this singular case, would perceive a pecu liar fit of his cout. j He states that he has often been questioned as to why ho does not place himself upon exhibition,. or be come one of Barum's permaucnt attrac tions. His invariable reply is, that he is averse to public exhibitions. His father being a wealthy farmer, he had always preferred to remain at home, and was the most active and profitable of farmer's help. He would assist in loading hay and at the same time hold securely the horse's reics. On several occasions. he came near break iogthis unnatural member by sudden falls, and at one time suffered the pangs of a full seized felon upon the forefineger. On one occasion, when about 18, the vil lage boys thought they would have a lit tle sport . at ''three arms" expense, and commenced a system of blackguardism, following by bold attacks upon his per son.. Forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and throwing off his loose garments, he went at them in true pugilistic style, arm number 3 performing its duty, and ap parently outrivaling number 1 and 2. At the end of the skirmish six prostrate villagers told what a fierce opponent they had met. ''Three arms" gaimed a no toriety, and never afterwards was per secuted on account of his deformity. At the outbreak of the rebellion he joined a New York regiment, and so distinguished himself by bravery, that he was fiuully promoted to captain, and ranked as the best drill-officer of the regiment to which he was attached. At .the close of the war he returned to, the farm, and has since remained there. lie is now en route for the South to visit somewhere in the interior of North Carolina.' . It may be a query with some how he could use his arm with the proper clothing upon his body. All his garments intended for labor ing suits, were so made at to open upon the back, and closed by buttoning," the. same as a child's apron, lie is truly a wonder. Being a man of fine conversatianal pow ers, an interview with him is especially agreeable, and he relates many pleasing anecdotes of himself with great relish. Wrtliamsport JSullctin ' Evenings at Home. There is co breast work, against evil, and no school of virtue and moral worth, like a good home. And the good home is not merely that which furnishes edible dinners and well kept rooms and clean beds, but which furnishes most satisfac tion, refreshing and joy to all its inmates. nd cveuing is the ouly time when all the members of the family circle meet to gether, ami can mingle is happy and joyus intercourse.' I he occasiou should be provideu for as it usually la not. Our house keepers should take the luut from those who furnish public entertainments, and lavish thought aud ingenuity enough upon the occasion to make it so attrac tive and delightful and satisfying that every member of the household will feel the happier for it, and look forward to its return with expectancy, and be beyond the reach of the thousand temptatious to spend the evening elsewhere. Exactly how this is to be done must be answered by housekeepers for themselves. They have resources . and ingenuity enough, will they but once see the im portance of the thing, and its their wits at work to develop the hint into a beauti ful and joyous reality. We do not mean that everybody fehould spend every even ing at home. fXet there be for all profit able and entertaining going. t " . Still it will be found that great public entertainments often excite more than they delight or cdily. and, if often indulg ed in, produce. weariness and dissipation worse than fat'uue. ,The eveuirigs, at home furnish the fitting alternate and contrast to those public entertainments,- and each is enjoyed the more for the oth er. And to make the evenings' at home truly delight every resource of culture and art may be rightly iuvoked. Why not have a succession of evening enter taiumcnts, giving one to reading, anoth er to music, a third to conversation, a fourth to a drama, and a fifth to miscel laneous play t Why not import iuto the home circle some of the taleut to amuse and entertain and edify which lies all about waiting for the invitation ? And. what one family can not do alone, two or three together can easily effect. : Were our peoplo to spend a tenth part of the time and interest they now throw away on worthless excitements aud utter frivoli ties, in making their homes truly helpful and happy, we should . preveut hulf the crimes aud stop half the vices of society at their source.

Election Females Vote Mormons Suc cessful. , Salt Lake City. Feb 12. Public at tention to day is occupied almost entirely with the election of city officers. The whole Mormon ticket was, of eoursc elect ed. Under the female suffrage law crowds of Mormon women and girls flocked to the polls and voted. It is believed the female vote was far in excess of the males. In the early part of the day the Lib erals worked hard, challenging Mormons on the question of citizenship and prevent ing huudreds of votes, but they soon found that their labor was useless, even children voting. The Liberals finally abaaded the election as a farce. Travelers are singing praises to "Tom Scott" for the improvements made in th& railways between New York and Phil adelpia. since they passad into his combination. Uader the new manage ment the time between the two cites has been reduced nearly one-thtrd, so that, in two hours and a half, cce can be whisked over ninety miles, and go- almost every hour in the day. A man car leave New York in the morning, run over to Phil adelphia, return, visit Philadelphia a se cond time, and return again to New York, if he chooses, within the hours of day light. A bill has been introduced in the low er House of our Legislature to make the vendors of liquors responsible for any damage which may come from their sales. The bill is similar to the one lately pass ed in the Illinois Legislature, which pro vides that the wife, husband, child, fath--er, guardian or ward may sue the seller when any iujary ha3 occurred to the buy er, and recover damages. - - The five lovers of a Springfield (Mass.) girl, each of whom she had. taught to' think was the favored one, discovering that their love was a joint etock concern, rcccatly met at the house of the fair one, and with one accord dropping on their knees, offered her their hearts aud hands. The tableau was an effective one, but the young lady refused them one aud all. A youth seeing a young woman shed ding tears over something in her lap, con cluded it was a book, and asked if it was Bulwer's last production which had af fected her so acutely. 4'I don't know who produced them, but they were mighty strong onions," was the unromantic re ply.
