MILKS expresses the opinion that there will be no trouble with the Indians this summer, tmless, at the son- dance , to be held on Milk river in June, the young warriors shall be able to ex­ cite hostile feelings among the Agency Indians. In such case, he thiwlrw that there irotiild be attacks upon the settle­ ments, but he does not believe the war­ riors would have strength, enough to make trouble. Gen. Sherman agrees with Gen. Miles that there will probably be no trouble. A PARTY of about fifty live Yankees in Maine, it is said, have purchased two old freight cars, fitted them up with windows* bunks and cooking apparatus, and are now slowly making their way westward at the tear of freight trains, having oonfeneted with the railroads to haul them at about the rate of cattle by the ear-load. This is a shrewd and ex­ tremely economical arrangement, and infinitely more comfortable for the pil­ grims than the best means of transpor­ tation to the West a generation ago. 1 ^TTDcfe LTTDFXisrs, a BeptiblicaB, has arrived at Washington from Louisiana, with other gentlemen. They report that the negroes are leaving Louisiana by thousands, and that the fever of emi­ gration is such that every negro who can raise money enough, by the sale of his mule or household goods, to pay passage, is getting ready to start. Judge Ludeling thinks that, unless there is something done to stop the movement, there will be no laborers in Louisiana to work the plantations this summer. He says emigration has taken the shape of a stampede, and colored families go like sheep, without any idea where they are going to stop or what they axe going to do. They have the notion that the Government has set aside a large tract of land for their benefit; that houses are ready lor them, and all they have to do is to get there. The situation has become so serious that planters are darned, and the Gov­ ernor has been asked to convene the Legislature in special session to enact a law prohibiting steamboat companies ^Ejjp| carrying negroea awfy from the State. i I l̂ xrSa ̂Ftataclseo $°«rd 6f Educa­ tion 'has'lifeen overhauling the* uteachers of that ciift' as to their educational qualifications, and finds that some of the young women who had been nomi­ nated for positions are decidedly un­ fitted for their work, ffte teachers were asked to write the following words, with their definitions: Vacilla­ tion, """ hieroglyphics, antediluvian, aphorism, bivouac, codicil, hallucina­ tion, inveigle, periphery. One of the young ladies spelled and defined them as follows: "Yassilation--the act of being vased; hyerogliphics [correct definition]; antediluvian--the art of loosening down before, as it were; aphorism--a rising beforehand; bivouac [was unable to define]; codissel--relat­ ing to a oode, law or rule; hollusena- tion--a strange loosing or seDaration; eoidicl# V - , i// a • -,mr »< rejoi can bush-fighting."

There the remains of a. young girl found in a trunk near Sanguis xiver were posi­ tively recognized as ftoas of three or four different persons, though a very little investigation proved that in case there was a nmtake. ĵ ow tb» mystery has been Solved. The mother of Jennie Clarke, for that was the of the wretched victim, was positive that «he was right. She recognized a mole on the joint between, the for*- Sager Bad thumb, and, singularlj enough, die herself- had a adsailar mole on her left hand. She had announcedt that she would put the body to this test before making the examination. Noth­ ing could be fairer or more certain. There is now also a reasonable hope that those whose malpractices caused the death, under such shameful cir­ cumstances, of Jennie Clarke will (b» discovered and made to pay the penalty of their crime. To all appearance these, the worst of murderers, the man who ruined the girl and those who killed her by their barbarities, were safe from suspicion. They had fright­ fully disfigured the face by cutting off the nose. Then they had carried thai body to a desolate place in a trunk and left it. They did not reckon upon the identification of thiB girl through so slight a clew as a mole upon the' hand. The incident shows how hard it is to remove all evidence by which identity Mil be established. Bp TMS MIGHT • j H Whenever you are in doubt which of two things to do, let you* decision be for that which is right. Do not waver; do not parley; but square up to the mark, and do the right thing.' Boyt when you divide that apple with your little sister, be careful not to keep the largest half for yourself. Young man f do not sneak out of the house by the back way, because you wish to escape your father's eyes. Maiden! let not the most trifling deceit pass current in those little acts which make np the sum of your life. Ko matter who you are ̂ what your lot, or where you live, you cannot afford to do that which is wrong. The only way to obtain ̂ happiness and pleasure yourself is to do the right, thing. You may not always bit the mark, but you should, nevertheless, aim at it and with every trial your skill will increase. Whether you art to be praised or blamed for it others; whether it w31 seemingly make yon richer or poorer, or whether n<p other person than yourself knows of ypur ac­ tion, still always and in all cases do the right thing. Your first lessons in this will grow easier, until finally doing the right thing will become a habit, and to- do a wrong will seem an absolute im­ possibility. , v CONNECTICUT will, if the Senate should pass and the Governor not veto the bill, adopt the Mofiat register. Vir­ ginia still uses it, Louisiana h«v» just abandoned it, Texas is abont to try it* and Alabama, Florida and North Caro­ lina have decided against it. THE MARKET*. _ YOBK. Ckros......;..'.
