McIIenty, Nov 6th 1877. Disease and Death, when they reach our own households, are too serious for THB LAST INDIAN. Without pur Indians we would bo lost. When we grow weary of our hnancial problems and the political situation becomes stale and unpalat­ able, we may turn with a sigh of relief to our noble savages, who are ever ready to entertain us with their vigorous antics. So have they furnish ed us with diversion for lo, these many years, and so they relieved the tedium of our forefathers' lives In those early days when horse-racing was in its iu fancy and base-ball had not yet bison ed Into a national game. But after all, our supply of Indians Is not likely to hold out, and it would be well for us to prepare . ourselves by degrees for that melancholy time when we shall have no more Indians. It may not come in our day and generation but either our children or our children's children are destined to see the day when the last noble red man, pursued by some future Howard and the United States army, snail turn a handspring from a towering cliff and disappear for­ ever in the waves of the Pacific Two centuries ago, as we are in­ formed by some statistician who was probably there to count them, the aba rigines in this country uumbered nearly three million, but they have been re­ duced, principally by means of gun powder and whisky, to about two hundred and seveuty-nlue thousand,' which number includes all the Indians in all the States and Territories, includ­ ing Alaska. These have beeu classified by the Indi an Commissioner under four separate heads. The first class numbering ninety-eight thousand, con­ sists of Indians, simon-pure, who do all the fighting, and make it hot for our soldiers so long as th* Government keeps Jhem properly supplied with anus and ammunition. The second class includes the half civilized savages, who keep in bounds a greater part of the time, and only vacate their reserva­ tions when they are spoiling for a fight. They number about fifty-two thousand souls. The third class comprises the good Indians, who wearhats aud panta­ loons. and make a sorry attempt at the cultivation of their lands. Of these there are over one hundred and fifteen thousand, fully one-fourth of whom can read and write. The fourth division embraces, the beggarly element, and consists of about fourteen thousand ragged Indians who gain a precarious liveli­ hood by stealing, begging or hunting. In due course of time our troops may annihilate the first class; disease may destroy the second and third, aud whisky exterminate the fourth, but there is life enough in them yet to keep them-going for some time to come, and it is hardly probable that the white man now lives who shall write the epitaph of the last Indian THR NEWSPAPERS. There are only two kinds of news- papersvgood aud bad. They are like fruit in the prophet's vision. A news­ paper may start with an undecided character, but in a few years It will be either very good or very bad. One newspaper is the ally of virtue and the foe of crime, the delectation of elevat­ ed taste, and the mightiest Jest in, g, we use our best endeavors to drive ofl the dread messengers, aud are •uiy happy when we feel that they are at a distance. At the first approach of that fell destroyer, Consumption, in frhe shape of a cough or slight cold as wfefl as more severe Bronchial or Ca- tartfji Complaints, we should at once use Ellert!s*Extract of Tar anch Wild Cber- ry, t'It haS'jio superior ty such (Jases.

Pneu­ monia, and in fact ail threat and lung diseases. No person can use it with­ out immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recom­ mend it it to the poor dying con­ sumptive, at least to try one nottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and n© one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot, be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sola at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. It should be the duty, as well as pleasure of all journalists, to impart such useful information to the readers of their papers as well conduce to their well-being and health. If we can save anyone from an hour's pain we have ac­ complished some good in this world.-- Now, we know that the advice we are about to give will save many of our friends from avast amount of suffering, especially those who are troubled with rheumatism, neuralgia, or sciaMoa. Call on your druggist for a bottle of Lawson's Curative, and use it faithfully, for any ache, pain inflamma­ tion you may have, and, our word for it you will thank us for our advice.-- For sale by H, Colby, Druggist, Mc­ Henry, 111, BAD BOYS MAKE BAD MEN. An aged captain whe had spent a long life upon the oceau, said to a lady *'On shipboard I can teil in a very short time what any sailor was In his boy­ hood." It was beoause "the boy was the father of the man." H<^ added, "I find Invarir.bly that a bad sailor is made out of a bad boy." When hesaw a reckless, profane "son of the deep," he at once concluded that he was little better when a lad. Now this Is just what may be expected. It is just what is seen In other things. Poor wool or cotton makes poor cloth. Poor cloth makes a poor coat. Poor farms produce poor crops. Poor timber makes a poor house. And so wicked children will make wicked men and women. It is said that the Emperor Nero of Rome, when a little boy, delighted to torture, to kill flies, and would pursue the little creatures hour after hour to pierce them and see them flutter and die in agony^ A$ he grew older he ex- ^)ibl$ed tbe samO cruel disposition to­ ward men. When he was made Em- perdr he advanced hli cruelty at a fear­ ful rate; killed tiiSown wife, and oider- ed his mother to be asSassiiiatttd* Wor was this all. -He finally ordered the oity to be set on fire, just to see ^pw it would look. And when it was burning, he seated himself upon a high tower and played upon his lyre. Was this strange ? Is not a "Creel boy likely to become a cruel man ? Killing men in manhood is only a further development of killing flies in childhood. ger.cy there is for making the world better; another is a brigand, a besllmer of re­ putation, the right arm of death and hell .One Is the angel of intelligence and mercy--the other is a fiend of darkness. The great battle of the world is to be fought, not with swords, but with iteel pens; not with bullets, but with type; not with' cannon, but with printing presses. Men of the press, you are to decide whether the world is to be saved or not. You have mere responsibility than any other class of persons. What long strides your profession has made since the time when cast metal type was invent­ ed, and because two books were alike they were attributed to the devil! The press and the telegraph have gone down into the harvest-field to reap*-- The man who doesn't take or read a newspaper would have been. In Phil­ adelphia, a greater curiosity than the big engine. What, a contrast the time when Woolsey said either the press must go down or the church must go down.and now, wi.on jhe press a»d the pulpit have formed a combination, a man may preach on Sundayno^SOO peo­ ple, and 011 Monday morninj^through the press, preach tho same ^erutoh. to 300.000! Yet, men of the pre^ how many words of sympathy, do you ge t during the year? Not ten. How many words of excoriat.ion and hypercrit- icism do you hear? About 10,000.--- You have plenty^jrf abuse, but 8$ sympathy, One great trial of newspaper men is that they are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. From the editorial rooms all the follies and shams are seen day by day, and the temptation is to believe in neither God, man or wo­ man. I only wonder that you believe anything. Another trial is inadequate compensation. Literary toil has never been properly requited. The world has grudge against the man who gets his living by his wits, Go«l knows that there are no harder worked men than the newspaper men of this , country-- and it is said not on account of hard times; it is the same In all times. The vast majority of them have to struggle fora livelihood. A third trial is the diseased appetite for unhealthy intelli­ gence, You blame the newspapers forgiving prominence to murders, scandals, etc., but no paper would do this if the people did not demand them. They ask for moral slush instead of solid, intellectual food. If you find three columns of well written editor­ ials, and in the next column there is a miserable divorse case, which do you read first? It is Is only a matter of supply aud demand. Newspaper men are not fools. They know what you want, and give it to you. Another trial ot the professional is the allure ment that surrounds it.--TALMAGJJ*, figgTWe are sorry to learn that the disease that we spoke of last week, as prevailing among some lots of hogs in the town of Spring, gives promise of spreading. IJp to the first of this week the Hewer brothers had lost 80, Sam. Wylde about 50, George Reed 20 or over, and Jefferson Colvln some 30 to 40. Besides these we understand that other lots have suffered some. No ex­ pense has been spared in doctoring the animals attacked, but with little effect. It is hoped that steady cold weather will stop the disease---fle/t'iejers North- western. The Farmer's Hard Lai When a farmer can so manage his farm as to make 4 both ends of the year meet," even if it be with the most rigid economy, he should be contented with his lot. If we take a survey of the business men of our village and cities, we find that only three or four in a hundred realize a competanoe for old age. Then imagine the tmhappiness of tho^e who, sooner or later, fall to support themselvo* arid families re spectably--the cares and anxieties that constantly produce pangs and tortures that no farmer ever felt. Th«se men may apparently lead pleasant lives, as the outside world cannot witness the emotions of a man who daily strains bis financial nerve to mee-t his notes falling due at the bank. Tho time be­ tween one and three o'clfck every day in the city of New York, brings more anxiety to business men than all the farmers in the United States realize in a lifetime,- ;; v No, farmers, yodriot is not % hard one. Your food may be plain and the cuts of your ooats may not be as fash­ ionable as those of the merchants of the day; but when you lie upon your pillows your respose is souud and sweet. The horrors of protested notes seldom keep you awake at night; and in the morning as you go around to feed your flocks and view your crops that have visibly grown while you were in the arms of M9rpheus,you may take more real enjoyment of life iuone hour than many city merchants aud manufacturers do in a year. Our ad- yicejtherefore. is, bo not discouraged.--' The times may now be hard; but yon are promised a "seed time and harvest" to the end. and with hard labor and judicious management, you come out in the end victorious.--Rural Neto Yorker. WASHINGTON CORRK8PONT>mrCK • WAStifxGTOK, D. C.. Dec. 1Mb, MR, Now that the regular winter semlin of Congress Is fairly under way, seeking has begun again with led fervor. Usually tho Treasury hafl been the mnch sought goal but just Mil the Post Office appears to be thoohf>j> tive point, and that Department Isoift* ttnually thronged with S«Mt«n «id| Representatives asking JMWIIIMM their constituents, thousands of ivtiiife are seeking clerkships. Last winter and spring it was said that the Capttil1 had never before been so full of offioo seekers, but the seige is stronger still now. I fear pitiful times are before as tM« winter. Various charitable oporatioM have already commenced in TIOW #f such a state of things, the differ**! churches are forming their sewing elr- cles, appointing their committees tor visiting tne poor and so on, several pound parties have been given even this early, and sweet charity's hand and heart are open wide. The Labor Exchange is working in a mOst metho­ dical and effective way, furnishing em­ ployment of all kinds to those who aro Inclined to work, from street sweeping and errand running to making paper bags and pa1 ntlng china ware. It li also proposed to institute a Penny Restaurant.similar to one lately tabllshed by alaay in New York, whet? working people of all classes are abto to buy a substantial meal for from ON to five cents. This seems hardly plaflt* sible. but when we remember that mri> to rial for the carrying out of such v a scheme may be bough: by wholesal^ that it is not done for the purpose of making money, and that one would M§ be expected, at such prices to ftvsUk surloin steaks, pastry and puddingi, SIC can see how It may be done. Tho lad|r in question pnts palatable and st^ngtb* ni ng food before her customers. They have baked beans, soup, boiled cab­ bage, slaw, corned beef, coffee, too, bread aud butter, and even pie, hmldn other similar dishes.

And another, of a raggp4| chimney-sweep who brought half-famished companions and a cent in front of each said with a found flourish, "Now, then gents* wfea* yer'goiu ter take." They all toofc baked beaus. Well, some suoh enter» prise is what la on foot here and* If fit succeeds it must do a vast sigjbft of good in relieving the needs of the-vary poor.
