retaryofthe Interior in saying that
"the result of this interesting experi
ment, if favorable, may be destiped
to become an important factor in the
advancement of civilization among
the Indians."
The question, whether a change in
tiie control of the Indian service
should be made, was, at the last ses
sion of Congrefcs, referred to a Co'u
nr.ltee for inquiry and report. With-C'-:t
desiring to anticipate that re

In the enrollment of the bill mak
ing appropriations for sundry civil
expenses, at the last session of Con
gress, that portion which provided
for the continuation of the Hot
Springs Commission was omitted.
At the Commission Lad completed
the work of taking teotimony on tLe
many conflicting claims, the suspen
sion of their labors, before determin
ing the rights of claimants, threaten
ed, for a time, to embarrass the in
terests, not only of the Government,
lint also a larcre number of the citi
zens of Hot Springs, who were wait-
riir for final action on their claims
before beeinninc contemplated im
nrovements. In order to prevent
diflicultics. which were ap
prehended, and at the solicitation of
many leaJingcitizcns of Hot Springs,
and others interested in mc w enure
of the town, the Secretary of the In
terior was authorized to request the
te Commissioners to take charge
of the records of their proceedings,
and to ncrform such woik as could
nrorjerlv be done bv them under such
circumstances, to facilitate tLe future
adiudicalion of the claims at an

of the claimants until their rights
should be finally determined. The

l-t DLIC LAN'PS.
I invite the attention of Congress
to the recommendations made by tie
Secretary of the Interior with repaid
tn tliR nreservfttion ol luc liuioer on
the public lands of the United States
The protection of the public projterty
is one of the first duties of the Oov
era ment. The Departmentof the In
terior should, therefore, be enabled
by sufficient appropriation, to enfortv
the laws in that respect. But this
matter appears still more important
as a question of public economy.
The rapid d-?stiucton of our forests
is an evil fraught with the gravest
consequences, especially ia the moun
tainous districts, where the rock
slopes, once denuded of their trees,
will remain so forever. There the in
jury, once done, cannot be repaired,
i fully concur with the Secretary of
the Interior in the opinion that, for
this reason.
legislation leaching the public timber
in the mountainous Stales and Ter
ritories of the West, should be espe
cially well considered, and that ex
isting laws' in which the destruction
of the lorc.U is not sufficiently guard
ed against, should be speedily ooui
fiied. A general law concerning this
important subject appears to me to 1
matter of urgent public necessity.
AGRICULTURAL AFFAIRS.
Frosi the organization of the Gov
ernment, the importance of encourag
ing, by all csible means.lho increase
of our agricultural productions has
been acknowledged and u'ged upon
the attention of Congress and the
people as the surest and readiest
means of increasiug cur substantial
and enduriug prosperity.
The words of Washington are as
applicable to-day, as when, in his
eighth annual message, be said: "It
is not to be doubled that with refer.
ence either to individual or national
welfare, agriculture is of primary iai
nortance. In proportion as nations
advance in population and other eir
cumstances of maturity, this truth
becomes more apparent, and renders
tLe cultivation of the soil more and
more an object of public patronege
Institutions for promoting it grow
up, supported by the public purse
and to what obiect can it be dedicat
ed with greater propriety ? Among
the means which have been employed
to this end, none have been attended
with greater success than the estab
lishment of boards composed ofprop
cr characters, charged with collecting
and diffusing information, and enab
led, by premiums and small pecuniary
aida,to encourage and assist the spirit
of discovery and improvement, this
peeks of establishment contributing
doubly to the increase of improve
ment by stimulatiug to enterprise
and experiment, and by drawing to a
common center the results every
where of individual skill and obser
vation, and spreading them thence
over the whole nation. Kxperience
Accordingly bath shown that they are
very cheap instruments of immense
national benefit."
STATISTICS Or THE SOIL.
The great preponderance of
the
agricultural over any other interest
in the United Slates entitles it to all
Che consideration claimed for it by
Washington. About one half of the
population of tbe United JS tales is
engaged in agriculture. The value
of the agricultural products of the
United Stale for the year 1878, is
estimated at three thousand millions
of dollars. Tbe exports of agricul
tural products for the year 1877, as
appears from tbe report of the Bureau
of Statistics, were five hundred and
twenty-four million! of dollars. The
great extent of our country, with its
diversity of soil and climate, enables
us to produce within our own bor
ders, and by onr own labor, dot only
the necessaries, bat most of the lux
uries that are consumed in civilized j
countries. Yet, notwithstanding our
ad vantage! of toil, climate, and inter
communication, it appears from the
atatistical statements in the report ol
the Commissioner of Agriculture,
that we import annually from foreign
lands many minions of dollars' worth
of agricultural products which could
be raised in our own country.
Numerous questions arise in the
practice of advanced agriculture
which can only be answered by ex
periments, often costly and some
times fruitless, which are beyond
the mean of private individuals,
and are a just and proper charge on
the whole nation for the benefit of
the nation. It is good policy, espec
ially in time of depressioin and ca
certainty in other business par
suits, with a vast area of uncul
tivated, and hence unproductive ter
ritory, wisely opened to homestead
settlement, to encourage, by every
proper and legitimate means, the
occupation and tillage ot the Boil.
The efforts of the Department of Ag
riculture to stimulate old and intro
duce new agricultural industries, to
improve the quality and increase tLe
quantity of our products, to deter
mine the value of old or establish the
importance of new methods of cul
ture, are worthy of your careful and
favorable consideration and assist
ance, by such appropriations of
money and enlargement of facilities
as mav seem to be demanded by the
present favorable eonditions for the
growth and rapid development of
this important interest.
The abuse of animals in transit is
widely attracting public attention.
A ational Convention ot societies
esp-cially interested in the subject
has recently met at iialtimore, ana
the facts developed, both in regard
to cruelties to animals aud the effect
of such cruelties upon the public
health, would seem to demand the
careful consideration of Congress,
and the enactment of more efficient
laws for the prevention of these
abuses.
EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
The report of the Commissioner of
the Bureau of Lducation shows very
gratifying progress throughout the
counlrv. iu all the interest commit
ted to the care of this important oi-
fioe. The report is especially en
couraging with respect to the exteu
sion of the advantages of the common
school system in sections of the
country where the general enjoyment
of the privilege of tree schools is not
yet attained.
lo education uioie Uaa to any
other agency we look, as the resource
for the advancement of the people, in
requisite knowledge and appreciation
of their rights and responbthiiilies as
citizen, and I desire lo repeat the
suggestion contained in my former
message in behalf of the enactment of
appropriate measures bv Lougress
for the purpose of supplanting, with
national aid, the local systems of
education iu the several States.
Adcqu&ts accommodations for the
great library, which js overgrowing
the capacity of the rooms now
occupied at the Capitol, bhould be
provided without further delay. This
invaluable collection of books, inanu
scripts aud illustrative art has grown
to such prooortioiis. In connection
with the copyright system of th
country, as to demand the prompt
and careful atteution of Congress to
8a ve it from injury in its present
crowded and insullicient quarters
As this library is national in its char
acter, and must from the nature of
the case, increase even more rapidly
in the future than in the past, it can
not be doubted that the people will
sanction any wise expenditure to
preserve it and to enlarge its useful
ness. The appeal of the Regents of the
Smithsonian Institution fur the means
lo organize, exhibit, and make avail
able for the public benefit of the ar
ticles now sloied away belonging to
the National Museum, I heartily rec
ommend to your favorable considera
tion. lilSTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The attention of Congress is again
invited to the coudition of the river
front of the city of Washington. It
is a matter of vital importance to the
health ct the residents of the Nation
al Capital, both temporary and per
manent, that the low lands in front
of the city, now subject to tidal over
flow, should be reclaimed. In their
present condition, these flats obstruct
the drainage of the city, and arc a
dangerous 60uree of malarial poison.
The reclamation will improve the
navigation of the river, by restricting
and consequently deepening its chan
nel ; and is also of importance when
considered in connection with the
extension of the public ground and
the enlargement of the park, west
and south of the Washington monu
ment. The report of the Board of
Survey, heretofore ordered by act of
Congress, on tbe improvement of the
harbor of Washington and George
town, is reopectfully commended to
consideratiou.
The report of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia presents
a detailed statement of the affairs of
the District.
The relative expenditures by the
United Slatea mi the District for
local purposes are contrasted, thow
inir that the prnecditurea be Mip npn.
pie of the District greatly exceed!
those of the General Government.
I he exhibit is made in connection
with estimates for the required re
pair of the defective pavements and
sewers of the city, which is a work
of immediate necessity, and, in the
same roonection, a plan is presented
for the permanent funding of the out
standing securities of the District.
WnONQS AND REMEDIED,
The benevolent, reformatory, and
penal institutions of the District are
all entitled to the favorable attention
of Congress. The Reform School
needs additional buildings and teach
ers. Appropriations which will place
all these institutions in a condition
to become models of usefulness and
bencficense, will by regarded by the
country as liberality wisely bestowed.
Ibe Commissioners, with evident
justice, request attention to the dis
crimination made by Congress against
tbe District in the donation of land
for the support of the public schools,
and ask that the same liberality that
has been shown to the inhabitants of
the various States and Territories of
the United States, may be extended
to the District of Columbia.
The Commissioners also invite at
tention to the damage inflicted upon
public and private interest by the
present location of tbe depots and i
awitchiug tracks of the several rail
roads entering the cilv, and ask for
legislation looking lo Ibeir removal.
The recommendations and sagges.
tions contained in tbe report will, I
trust, receive the careful considers
tioo of Congreaa.
Sufficient lime has, perhaps not
elapsed since the reorganization of
the Government of the District, un
der the recent legislation of Con
gress, for tbe expression of a confi
dent opinion as to its successful
operation; but tbe practical results
already attained are bo satisfactory
that tbe friends of tbe new Govern
ment may well urge upon Congress
the wisdom of its continuance, with-jif
out essential modification, until by
actual experience, its advantages and
defects may be more fully ascer
tained. R. B. Hatch.

It is the fashion to personify a

that she is doing thi or that and,
following the fashion, I may say that
Washington is just now cleaning
house, or, to speak accurately, clean

confusion that betrays too little ac
quaintance with cleansing processes,
and a reek of dast and dirt that pro
claims long dUce:nde of soap
and water. All this means that
Congress is expected, (though to
wash anything for Congress seems
like a work of Euperirrigalion) with its ,

ed. How lone and lorn thev will
feel it, that . bleak little Canadian
town this winter! What a contrast
it will oresent to the splendors of
London salons, tbe fashion of Rotter

pageantry of the richest city of the
richest empire that tbe world has ev
er known! What a contrast with
the favorite winter resort of the
wealth and nobility of Europe gay,
holiday Tan's, ten hoars distant!
But if Mrs. Lorne has a mind above

on what kind of a woman sbe may

city being the capital of tbe only
great government oa this side of tbe
world, it has poorer to attract and

until then will Washington ecae to

Here and there about the depart

"Mister, no doubt you hare all the
learnia' that' required ia a school
teacher, but it wants more than learn
ia to make a man able to teach school
in Cranberry Gulch. You'll soon
find that oat if yoa try. One lays
there ia the graveyard ; another lost
hia eye and left; the last one opeacd
school and left before noontime for
the benefit of his health. He hasn't
been back Bince. Now you're a Blen

only make it worse for all our young
folks are rough and don't stand no
nonsense !"
This was what the trustee of the
district said to my friend Harry Flo
tee, when he made application for the
vacant position of a teacher.
"Let me try. I know I am slen
der, but I am tough, and have nrong
will," said Harry.
"Jest as yoa like ! There's the
Bcbool bouse, and Til have notice
given if you want it done," said the
trustee.
"I do 1'' said Harry. And I'll open
next Monday at 9 a. m.
The notice was given, and there
was a good deal of excitement in th
gulcb, and along the Yub fiat?.
More than fifty young people of boih
sexes made an excuse to drop into
the tavern to get a sight at tbe ftl-
low who thought he could keep school
in tnat aistrict, ana many -a con
tcmptuoua glance fell on the Blender
form and youthful face of tbe would
be teacher.
fcignt o'clock on Monday morning
came, and Harry rlotee went down
to tbe school bouse wub a kev in
one hand and a vapse in tbe oiber
band.
"Heady to slope if be bads we re
too much for him," said a cross-eyed,
broad shouldered fellow of 13. The
school hoase was unlocked, and tbe
new teacher went to the desk. Some
of tbe young folks went ia to see
what be was going to do, though
school was not called.
Harry opened his valise and took
out a largo belt. Then, after buck
ling it around his waist, he put three
Coli a navy revolvers there, each of
six barrels, and a bowie knife eighteen
inches in tbe blade.
"Thunder! He mesas business,"
muttered tbe cro3s-eyed chap.
Tbe new teacher now took out
squtre card about four inches each
way, walked to tbe other end of tbe
school hoiue and tacked it up against
tbe wall.
Returning to hia desk, be drea
revolver from bia belt, and quick as
thought sent ball after ball into the
card, till there were six balls ia
snot not much larsor tbao a silver
dollar.
By this time iht school bouse w9
half full of large boys and girls
The luile ones were afraid to come
in.
ltiea tbe teacher walked ball wav
down tbe room with the bowie-knife
in Lis hand, nd threw it with so
true a hand that it Etuck quivering ia
the very centre of the card.
He left it there, and put two more
knives cf the same kind ia bis belt:
and quietly reloa Jed his yet Bmokiug
pistol.
"Ring tbe bcil; I am about to open
ecbooi."
He spoke to the crusa:pye4 boy,
ibe bully of the crowd, and tbe bjy
rang the bell witbout a word.
"The scholars will take ibeir seats;
I open ecbooi with praver," h said
sternly, five minutes later.
Tbe scholars sat dowu, tilcnt, al
most breathless.
Af.er the praver tbe teacher ac
ed a revolver and walked down on
tbe floor.
"We will arrange the classes " be
said.
"A'l who can read, write and
spell, will rise. Of them we will
form tbe first class."
Only six got up. He escorted
teem in upper seats. Ana men ne
begsa to examine the rest. A whis
per was heard behind him. In a sec
ond he wheeled, revolver iu hand
"No whispering allowed here!" he
thundered, and for an instant hia re
volver lay on a level with tbe cross
eyed boy 'a head.
"I'll not do it any more," ga-:ped
the bully.
"See you do not. I never give

It took two hours to organize tbe

teacber went out, too, for the room

From that day on Harry kept

Washixotos, Not. 27. The re-
Sort of the Commiaaioner of Internal
Revenue makes the most favorable
showing of efficiency of various col
lection districts presented since the
organization of the bureau. Tbe los
ses from defalcations are trifling.
Tbe collections amount to about
$1 13,000,000, or $1,000,00.) more than
during the previous year. Commis
sioner Rauni argues against the de
crease cf the tobacco tax, and does
not recommend any change in the
tax on spirits. He recommends, as
one of the means of removing causes
of trouble with tbe small distilleries
of the South, that where the capac
ity is only 20 gallons or under, the
owners of these stills be allowed to
manufacture ia tbe old way, withoat
the use of the numerous contrivan
ces and methods ordered by tbe
laws.
That portion of the report which
refers to tbe violation aad general
defiance of tbe revenue laws in tbe
South presents a full review of tbe
Southern bituation so far as it relates
to revenue affairs, and sets in strong
light tbe official records of resistance
to law. During the year five reve
nue officers have been killed ia the
South, and thirteen have been woun
ded. As to tho general disposition
manifested by tbe people in large
sections of tho South, the Commis
sioner says the officers of tbe Gov
ernment have been treated as if tbey
were tbe emmsaries of a foreign and
bostile nation sent to imposd and col
lect tribute. Tbe Commissioner
feels compelled to say that it is not
ouly robbers aod outlaws who resist
and attack Federal officers, but those
claiming to be among tbe best citi
iens sometimes take part in resist
ance by force, and are constantly ex
tending sympathy. Tbia support has
even manifested itself among Judges
ia the State Courts.
Tbe killing of revenue officers or
deputy marshals excites little atten
tion, aud seldom stirs S.ate cffiVers
to action. The murderers are free
from arrest, and are openly shielded
by State authorities It tbe revenue
officers, when attacked while ia the
discharge of their duty, defend them
selves efftfcluallv and kill anv of
their assailants, whole communities
rise against tbe c Ulcers, and tbe en
tire machinery of tbe State Govern
ment is emploved to punish tbe offi
cers. To illustrate this matter tbe
Commissioner recites tbe killins: of
Deputy Marshal Spriggs ia North
Carolina by tbe noted desperado
Redmond. This affair caused no
excitement, but wben a man who
was trying to shoot revenue officers
while in discharge of ibeir duties was
killed, the whole State of South Car
olina was aroosed. Tbe Commis
sioner recommends that Congress
pass a law making all who partici
pate in resisting revenue officsrs
guilty of murder ia case tbe resist
ance resulis ia the killing o( aa of
Geer.
Tbe report ends wuh a statement
showing the receipts from the
several objects of taxation for the
first four months of tbe present fiscal
year as compared with the same pe
riod of tbe last fiscal year. This
shows a decrease of :493.53 on
spirits, an i acre use of $272,346 on
tobacco, an increase of $32C,204 oa
fermented liquor, a decrease of $04,
821 on banks and bankers, aa ia
cieaso of $194,7-36 on adhesive

of 81GJ64 ia the amount received

Tb9 net increase of revenue has
therefore been $545,427.
Happy Hollow is so named from
the contentednegs of mind of its in
habitants. Tbe poor make tbeir own
peculiar locality almost exclusively.
Half-way up the valley we sat down
to rest by the door of a house wbich
was full to overflowing with colored
people, principally childc9n. A
white woman, ob ! tbe dirtiest, la
ziest white woman in tbe world, sat
on a log and conducred tbe conver
sation. "Did sbe live in that hocse
with tbe colored people ?" "Ob !
law, no ; me and my husband live ia
that bouse," sbe replied, pointing to
a filthy little pea that I actually
tbougbt was a dog kennel. - sbe was
ooor. but she was contented. She
did not appear disagreeably coarse,
either in manner or conversation, but
is evidently aa illustration cf what
shiftlcssaess will do frany one. Oa
tbe third finger cf ber left band a
plain gold ring glistened. Looking
at this woman in ber squalor I found
a bit of compassion springing up for
be in my heart at tbe sight of the
ring. She had never been poor
enough to part witb tbat. .o wo
man who wears a gold ring is ever
utterly bereft of delicate feeling, and
no woman ever parts with the only
rjng sbe owns. It generally marks
soma era in ber life ib.it sbe wants
to keep bright in ntoui.rj. his al
most always a gift, and u-iug a gift
in which utility has no part, it is ded
icated to sentiment forever. Often
it is the gift ot one who has broken
all the promises wbich it was design
ed to s?al, and who has kept its
wearer's path well covered with
thorns. Still it is cherished aod
loved, worn throughout life and worn
in the passionless grave. Some day
tbe unclean bodv of Ibis woman of
Happy Hollow will be found in her
miserable hovel, and though ber
clothes will be mean aqd uat-idy, the
gold ncg will be seen to glisten on
ber band.

Grave errors are made in tbe treat
ment of this disease, many borse
doctors not having learned to distin
gttisb between rheumatism and foun
der. In acute founder there wijl be
no fever.aod the disease ia confined to
the feet alone ; the seat of ibe acute
rheumatism is ia tbe joints of the
legs and tbe pain is accompanied by
fever and excitement. The feet are
not heated as ia founder, the extreme
paiu q the legs and joints causes tbe
borse to sweat prolyeejv and to
breathe heavily and rapidly. P'ut
tbe animal in a comfortable, airy
place, give plenty of bedding and
cover bim wiib a light blanket; wet
cloths with cold water in summer
apd warm water in winter, and ap
ply (o tb parts affected, keeping
them wet continually. Gipe tipejure

Aa amusing conversation occurred
a few davs ago between Mr. W. D
Bishop and his faith ful aad devoted
physician, wbich we take the liberty
to print, even at the risk of betrajing
family secrets. Tbe worthy docto
finding his patient regaining his
health with wonderful rapidity, was
very anxious lest be might take too
much encouragement, and be led to
undertake too much and overtax bis
8trengm. lienee tne doctor was con
stat) ly warning him, saving;
Now, you must not try to go too
fast. Be prudent and patient. 1 am
afraid jou will overdo yourself, etc
etc."
i oese warnings were repeated ao
often, tbat finally tbe patieat re
s ponded :
"Now, look here doctor, I bave
laid on tbia bed for six weeks, and
haven't even winked witbout vour
permission. If you tell me to lay ou
my left sido for fourteen hours, with
my right eye open and the loft one
shut, I ob?y you to the letter, aad
yet yea keep telling me, 'Now be
careful ; don't go too fat ; don't un
dertake too much. You remind rap,
doctor, of the proprietor cf a livery
stable, to whom a youog man ap:
piied for a horse and buggy. Tbe
team was ordered bitched up, and
meanwhile tbe livery man was con
stantly cautioning tbe youog man
'to be very careful with the horse,'
'not to drive too fast etc. The team
was soon ready, and as tbe livery
man was banding tLe reins to the
young man be repeated bis advice
about not driving too fast, wben tbe
young man, witb some impatience,
replied :
"Now, my friend, I want you to
understand tbat I have hired this
team to go to my step-mother's fuee
ral, and I iuteDd to keep ap with tbe
procojsion if I kill your daraed old
horse.' "

There are three kinds -f headaches
peculiar to women, a lady asserts
the 'oad husband headache," "no
husband headache," aad "do-nothing
headache." The wretched, empty,
aimless, unhealthy life led by thous
ands of women is a most sorrowful
subject. We do not feci icelined to
joke about it, for it is a sad lecture of
our times, and one on which little
light has yet dawned. Bid times for
nieu mean doubly bad times for wo
men. Seme women attempt too
much, and, therefore make bad fail
ures. A great deal might be done
for health if people ia straitened cir
cumstances would, wiih a good grace
and witbout any sense of humilia
tion, give up tbe li'.tie fripperies witb
which life bas become encumbered,
chiefly owing to our late commercial
prosperity. A more simple, frugal
mode of living would restore health
to many mothers who are now strain,
iog every nerve to keep a position
among people as foolish as them
selves, out who would be wise
enough to fpliow suit if tbey bad the
encouragement of an example which
tbey could quote to tbeir friends'
