INDOLENCE.
If nature abhors a vacuum, to adopt
the axiom 'of the natural philosopher, so
sadly does she also abhor anything like
indolence. healthy child is, Of comae,
often at rest, but never indolent. - It is
&Mays at work in its own war; it will
be ever ready to 'do something, to work
at ono thing or another. The very mis
chief of a young. child is—meloly
- Noted industry. A. child is never , so
happy as when it is busy. The . embryo
soul puts out feelers into the stram,ro
world in which it is placed, and trios,
stop by stop, and moment after moment,
to fit itself to work. It is Torevo - r imita
tive -rits very voice, and the motion. of
its tongue'are to be learned 4; and-gradit
ally, and by much practice, are those
mysteries to be acquired and understood.
A child is seldom a heavy sleeper ; it
will awake with the sun ; and the chief
thing which it dislikes is to go to bed.
Waking with the , sun in the morning,
to be out and about, to commence the
day with refreshed strength and a re-in
vigorated appetite, is too Often chide into
indolence, and taught to be lazy,' until
from repeated lessons it gains it bad
habit, and "custom lips upon it with a
weight, heavy as frost, and deep almost
as life."
Yet if there be one thing which can
conquer the ills of life, which Will make
all things pleasant and all difficulties
easy, it is industry, the great opponent
and conqueror of that rind of mind of
which we have been.speaking. "Thorn
is no art or science which is too difficult
for industry to attain to ; it is the very
gift of tongues," said. Lord Clarendon,
"and makes a man understood and
valued in all countries." It is the phi
.losopher's stone, and turns all_Metals and
iffou stones into gold, and suffers no
want Go break into his dwelling. A.s in
dolence makes all things difficult, and
gives a man pain even to walk to his
door, and 101 l in his carriage, so industry
makes all this easy.
"lie who rises late," writes old Ful•
ler, as wisely as quaintly, "must trot all
day, and shall scarcely overtalce his busi

hand, travels so slowly that Poyerty soon
overtakes her. This law is universal.
It may seem very pleasant to indulge in.
idle whim-whams, to fold the arms, to
101 l and do nothing ; but the mail who
dons so, does it at his own cost and peril,
and soon sorely rues it. His body can
not be so healthy, his mind must stag

rough Abernethy's advice to a lazy rich
man, full of gout and idle humors, un
happy and without appetite, troubled
with over-indulgence, and pampered with
soft beds and rich food, was to " live
upon a sixpence a day and earn it ;" a

DEMOCRATIC TROUBLE.
Yes, there is trouble—the air is full of
it for the Democracy.. This is no need
less alarm. It is not manufactured for
the benefit of tho Radicals. There is a
'terrible evil now threatening tharsaintly,
CoMititutiOn-saving piece •
of machinery known as the Democratic
party. It's leaders are becoming coerce
' nary, despotic, and corrupt. They pro- .
pose to centralize the authority of the
Government to an extent never dreamed
of by Republicans. They are going to
make the Government a huge railroad
monopoly. They propose, mirabile
to buy people, yes, even many peeiple-,
in fact the whole National Democratic
Convention that if . 4"%to meet in 1872 to

have 'Planned a scheme of the most con

But this •is some 'more Radical non

party. For fear of mis-statement we
quote literally, and at length, from Porn

of their party murdered a President, and
then their leaders, improving the oppor

only to DeMobraey, but to advocate and
practice the -most shaineless corruption
and usurpation that over disgraced an
administration since time began. When

to buy a Democratic Convention. It bac
been demonstrated frequently that such
things are purchasable. They might
even want to join' with bondholders,
railroad men, and speculators to increase
the-public debt' and keep up a high rate
of interest. It is vory natural, indeed,
they should. They displayed prodigious
talent in heaping 'up the present debt,
and might naturally wish to pvpetuate
it as air evidence of the amount of mis
chief they can do when they try. This
is deplorable, certainly, but then as long
as we keep a Democratic party we must
put up with these little, but somewhat
inconvenient eccentricities.
Now will some good honest, hard
working • Democrat, who believes, that
Radicals are somewhat worse than Satan,
or some good weak-kneed Republican,
who thinks there is too much " Fifteenth
Amendment" about, just read Brick's
article, as copied above, and then say
bow much consideration a man 'l9serves
who, having a reasonable share of trains,
asks anybody . to vote the Democratic
ticket, as ameasure of refoim.
THE Pitisburg tiazette, in a rdeent all.
ele oir the Great Railroad swhalu of last
winter, shows a phase of it which is new
to most persons. It says, "of the entire
nine. and one-half millions of dollars,
which were by - the operations lir the Om-
Mims.. bill to have been diverted from the
State 'treasury, the absolute control of
the disbursement of eight millions would
have fallen, by express arrangements of
all parthisTiiirerested, into the hands of
three of the most bitter and Unscrupu
lous partizans hi the Democratic oppo
sition. We name Messrs. F. W. llugheS,
of Schuylkill ; A. Wallace, of Clear-
field, and M B. Lowry, of Erie." There
can be but little doubt that The Uitzelle
is entirely correct in this matter. It
was generally conceded last winter
that Mr. Prank. Hughes was to
be President of the Jersey Shore,
Dine -Creek -and -- in \ truio Railroad
Company; and it is almost equally
certain that Mr. Wallace, although not
named in. the, charter of the Clearlleld
and Buffalo Railroad, carried that insti
tution about in his pocket. This would
have been a .. beautiful arrangement for
'the Democracy to have their two best
politicians constructing railroads with
funds derived from the sale of the State's
securities. They would n't have colo
nized any, or made the election of Con
gressmen, or members of the Legislature,
by a skilful manipulation of railroad'
hands, and coffee-stained naturaliza
tion papers—oh no, not they. Then
it would have been grand to operate
with a reserve fund of eight millions
of dollars in the coping campaign.
What fine speeches Mr. Wallace could
have written on- the corruption, hnbecil
ity and extravagance of Republican ad
ministrations, - and how many tine fellows
could have been paid handsomely for dis
tributing them. The thing was elegant
entirely. But, fortunately for the State
and the Republican party, the •timely
interference of the Governor spoiled this
little game. Whatever may be done in
the future, Messrs. Hughes and Wallace
will not have the handling of all this
mo
ney for the present campaign.

OUR INDIAN POLICY.
The visit to the national capital of
several of the ablest and most powerful
Sioux chieftains, and their interviews
with the authoritiesgives.a new interest
to the : much discussed, but never settled,
Indian question. Thu practical policy
of the Government has been to change
the Indians from one reservation to an
other, as they were encroached upon by
the over advancing tide of emigration,
to conciliate them by subsidies, and to
punish them for outbreaks caused in
part by the ill-treatment of whites, or
the dishonesty of agents or traders.
This- policy has been unsatisfactory to
lioth parties. The more intelligent In
dian chieftains have seen in it the de
struction of their race. To the Govern
ment it has been a source of endless per-
Tdexity, and of great expense.
Now, -the extension of emigration to
the Pacific slopes, and the rapid occupa
tion of the northwestern territories,
Lave brought the question of our Indian
policy up inn new form. It is. perfectly
patent to observing minds that one of
three things must be done.
,We must
provide the Indians reservations In
which they may bee permanently kept
and protected,-or we must civilize o• ex
terminate them. We are shut up by the
circumstances developed to oneof theft
-propositions : Which -is•the most feasi
ble ?
A,ticliberate purpose to exterminate
them would not only grate upon the
moral sense of the country, but it would
prove a terribly costly experiment.
There are now, according to the Indian-
Burcan's figures, 378,5,77 Indians in this
country, classified into tribes ; but - this
does not 'estimate. fully the wild tribes,
of which therd'aPit 'enough., to swell — the
total to 500,000. Experience has taught
us' that it costs terribly to kill Indians,
by means of soldiers. It is estimated
tliat we have 6puilLandlost-over—RBOp ,
000,000 during the last decade in Indian
wars. The Utah Indian war of 1853
cost 300 lives and $40,000,000. The In
dian Wars on the Pacific, coast have cost
not less than $300,000,000. . .
In - New Mexico, three campaigns
against the Navajoes cost $30,000,000.
The cost of that Territory has been not
less than $100,000,000, most of it from
Indian troubles. The Seminole war
cost $50,000,000 and fifteen years, with
_many_lives— In nearly- every—instance
some act of injustis9 iwrong done by
whites, ofliehils, orlhe reckless scum of
the border, have been the cause of the
outbreak. We have lost thousands 'of
lives and at least $1,000,000,000 in ex
periments in Indian,wars. At this rate
it will at the least cost twiceas much as
the present national debt to kill oil' the
Indians, not to speak of the inhumanity
of -the propo' t ion.
Our reservative policy, as hitherto
practices], has been peculiarly unfortun
ate. Senator Morton said one day re
cently, during the discussion on the Indian
appropriation bill, that the entire trouble
grevrout of uneertaintythe people be
lieved that reservation settlements cork
etitutod no title to' the Indian. -111 e
thought it about time Ave stopped re
garding the Indians as the. homeless,va
grant of our continent and whom it was
a continual duty—a: civie virtue to be
carefully inculcatedlo' require to, "•irbove
on" at every turn and movemeutr, of the
Western column of population. Aside
from this it does not contrilltfik ao. now

reservation they hunt for a riving w de

necessary for their perpetuation in coin.
potition with the whito race. •
The propolsition to Civilize;.s - upposes
perntanont reservations; but with the
withdrawal, after a time, of-annuities.
The trouble thus far is that an intelligent
policy of Civilization lias,iiiwor been
adopted. The success of Superintend
ent Janney, With a few tribes, shows'it
to be entirely feasible! Even Rod Cloud
seems to be impressed with its necessity.
Their civilization once completed, and
they will cease to be dependents on the
Government, but will mix with the popu
lation of the country, and thus - cease to
be a source of anxiety or care. Aid&
froM its humanity, this policy has the
strong recommendation that .it will ul
thuately prove economical. We hope,
tlthrefore, that perpetual command, so
''ainfoying to the Indihn, to "move on,"
will never be..repeated, but that they:
will be educated to be eitizons,.and to
commingle with the White population of

thin 'fairer to stay out to titqast. ' The
•companyure as equally . determined - not •
to give up. This everybody knowS to be
.
the case. It is then perfectly plain that
in eider to go to Work'Somo concessiOns
must be made on both sides. Without
compromise the work et Summit 'Bill
and' Nesquehoning may never be re
sinned by the men who have - heretofore
worked there, for the miner find work
hi other places. We propose a meeting
tv\ v,
be on the two • parties, where it shall
be ' erstood beforehand that each will
be ex ' ected to concede something.
There is no use of oomini together - as
heretofore, with minds made up not to
give an inch. Let there be compromise
and there will soon be work,.

in our borough he was the centre of .
attraction, and when he made his ap
pearance in our streets was snbjected to
the scrutinizing glances of, the curious.
On Friday, afternoon workmen woke
engaged in digging the trench in order
to cut the main gas Pipe, which was
speedily accomplished at is distance of
about fifteen feet from the curb, on gain
street.
On Saturday morning, bright an, i,
early, the gas-fitters proceeded to lay the
necessary pipe for conveying the gas to
the balloon. About ten o'clock a. m.,
theprocess of inflation was commenced.

was radiant with sunny 'smiles—old Sol
being more than usually resplendent in
his majestic glory, and dispensing his
rays with melting effect upon the , vast
assemblage of persons, and thus gratify,

citizens, and the mronaut.
Our friends from the rural districts
came to town early in the forenoon, and
the trains calhe railroads served greatly
to augment the numbers, and by noon,
the vicinity of the square became the
scene of pinch 'excitement' and merri

viously been taken to encircle the space
with a rope, and thus keep hack the
encroachments of the crowd, and give
room for the inflation of the " Albion."
Polioemeii Were stationed on - the inside
of the enclosure in order to keep Young
America from beetiming• too familiar
with the balloon, and we notictid they
had a busy time of it. While the move

being perfected, the Carlisle Brass Band.

on Saturday last, to view the balloon
ascension. A short time before the_bal,
loon left terra firma, several pigeons were
noticed flying around and about the
Court 'lons° square.and properties of J.
Rheem and F: C. Kramer, in an excited
and highly ilustrated manner, so much
so that the attention of the cupola party
was attracted to their strange gyrations.
They curved and swooped in strange
fantastic Motions, notv this way,, then
that, turning somersaults in mid-air, and

becoming staid and well fed pigeons.
Some ono suggested that the birds had
mistaken the crowd and noise for a
Fourth of July celebration, and - not to
be behind tile times had gotten on a
" glorions old bust," and really so it
seemed. Alas for the degeneracy of the
times, when even retipeatable foWls will
solar forget themselves as to make a
public spectacle and laughing stock of
their weakness and folly. By observing
closely the` tads were freed from allsuch
base suspicions, and the cause of the
unusual commotion was dis Covered to be
Aumbers of honey bees from the hives of
Jacob Rheem. Tho bees were about
swarming, „pad were flying in clouds
around their hive, which was nailed to
the -rear of It's 'back building. The
pigeons in flying had passed through the
cloud of 'excited honey-makers, and the
infuriated bees pursued the unfortunate
and 'rash pigeons on vengeance intent.
After each bird flew a cloud of - angry
insects, causing, by their fiery stings, the
uncertain and unsteady (light that first
attracted attention. In wide circles,
now fast, now slow, flew,the fa'.4 weary

went, then down ; no use, the avengers
were ever close at hand. Again and

through the swarming cloud only to air

and exhausted, the Poor hunted down
