Information from the Indian Territory is to the effect that part of the Canadian Kiver valley in tho Chickasaw nation, is infested with lawless white men who are depredating upon tho property of the Indians and violating tueir personal rights, and if the government does not protect tlio Indians and put a stop to un lawful invasions, there may be very se nous trou uio. Tho Tribune, s Washington correspon dent savs : The effect of the Warner si! ver bill, should it become a law, would bo to pile up in tho treasury an immense hoard of silver. Tho 875.0Ih.MKiu worm now held by Germany for sulo would bo in tho sub-treasury vaults in New York in less than a month. The mines of tlio United States, producing nearly us much more every year, would empty their en tiro product into the hands of tho govern nicnt, and every ounce of silver due to any Lifooenn country in its fofoign trad would irresistably flow into the sunio re servoir. On tho other bund, we should lose an eaual amount of cold. Tho Ger man Government would sell its silver cer tillcates in New York for gold anil take the latter awuy, und we should rapidly become a monometallic silver nation and the disasters that have come upon India, threatening to produce public and privute bankruptcy, would bo experien ced here. The Bulletin presents statistics show ing a large decline in funning operations in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey anil Pennsylvania since 1875. AVhile New York has increased in population 21 per cent, agricultural interests have ut terly failed to keep pace with the general progress of tho State ; and therefore, re latively, farming is retrogressing. Nor is this the worst aspect of tho case. The impoverished and debt purthened condi tion of tho farmers leaves no hope for their recuperation, but rather fore shadows a still worse condition of things in the future. W hat we have here shown to exisit in Now York is but a specimen of tho state of affairs in Connecticut, New Jcr ey and Pennsylvania also ; and the con lusion to bo drawn is that in this group of States funning is verging to wards a condition of things in which it will bo virtually confined to dairy pro ducts and vegetable growing to the ex tent necessary to supply city populations, while larger and more solid branches must steadily decline. A fire at Brooklyn in 'fowler Crump ton, & Co.'s linseed mill, extendingfrom 55 to (ill l urinan street, burned all night, and the owners estiniuto their loss ut from 80,000 to 81100,000, and storehouse "D," of Watson's stores, the lessees Burtlett & Green, burned fiercely. It was filled from the ground floor to the roof with sugar, jute, hemp, cotton nnd other inflammable material. As the fire continued, a mixture of water and sugar came from the windows nnd doors in a large flow. At ten to night, with ull the streams upon it, it was feared that tho flumes would communicate to other stores but by persistent work of the firemen, apprehensions were allayed, isartlctt v Oroen's loss would probably reach half a million dollars. But it is not known who the owners of much of the property are. There may be 50 or more. At noon, laborers were set to work re moving goods to storehouse "C," nd- journing, as they were being damaged by water. Danger was also anticipated from the walls bursting through. En gines are still at play upon tho burning pile, and the fireman are nearly exhaust ed by continuous hard work. Returns to tho Department of Agricul ture show the average wages of labor without board on yearly engagements have declined from 8-1 per month to 8-0 '20, or 4.H per cent, during tho last year. Tho cost of board of farm laborers has declined 84.15 per cent., or from 87 45 per month to 87 14. Four States aud two Territories show increased rates of wages Minnesota, Colorado. Califor nia, Oregon, New Mexico and Washing ton Territories. All other States show u .lecline. The decline is greatest in Ver mont, 110 percent. ; Maryland, ' per cent. and Virginia lHJJ percent. The cost of subsistunee hus advanced in four States and two Territories New Jersey, IV n i sylvanin, Texas and Colorado, Hiv Mexico nnd Washington Territorio All other States show a small cost of sulviist- enee. ermont lias declined .1 per cent. in the price of board, and Maryland 4 per cent. The general tone of corres pondence to the Department of Agricul ture is hopeful of a revival of industry. and the surplus of unemployed labor is growing less. Good labor can generally find employment at fair prices. Many are idle because they will not accept the reduced wages offered. For the past three days in oWdienco to orders from John Taylor, and a dis patch from Geo. Q. Cannon, nt Washing tor, petitions to President Hayes for a pardon of the convicted polygamist, Geo. Reynolds, have been scut for signatures all over Utah. The case being urgent, they were requested to return the peti tion to Salt Lake this week to be fore warded at once to Cannon, president. In order to anticipate the Mormons, the ladies of the anti-polygamy six-iety held a meeting and this morning sent tlio fol lowing protest to Washington. '' the IWniilfiit of the flitted .State; A peti tion has been circulated in this city for signatures asking your pardon of George Reynolds, convicted of the crime of polyg amy, the ladies of the anti-polygamy society of Salt Ijakn City, respectfully protest against the interMsition of exe cutive clemency in the ease for the fol lowing reasons : First The anti-polygamy law of Congress was passed in lSt!jt and through a defect in its provisions no conviction has lieen obtained of any jier son guilty of violating the law until the present instance. This immunity has en couraged the Mormons in lawlessness, and more olygiiinons marriages have been enteri-d into during the last few years than at any time preceding : Sec ondThe Mormon leaders set up God's law, as they call their celestial marriage ordinance, above man's law. The decis ion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Reynolds case aftirming the validity of the anti-polygamy law of Con gress, is condemned by tlio Mormon newspar organs as the award of "feeble witted and clouded minded jndges," act ing tinder popular pressure and the rase is therefore appealed from the supreme tribunal of the law to the court above. Under this higher law or doctrine, polyg aniona marriages are tieing entered into as numerously as ever : Third Your clemency is invoked because this is a test case. George Reynolds has been convicted and sentenoeu to punishment for his own offense and not for offenses of his brethren. He is unrepentant and still lives with his plural wife. He was seen in the great procession gotten up for Mr. Wells on his release from prison, where tho latter had been sent for con tempt of court in the Miles polygamy case. During Reynolds, trial every tech nicality was resorted to avoid conviction, thus allowing an unwillingness on tho part of tho culprit to bring the constitutional, ity of tho law, under which he was tried, to flnul arbitrament : Fourth Tho par don of this criminal will lie hailed as the overruling of God's providence in liehalf of his elect people, and encouragement, should you grant it, will be derived from your action to continue tho degrading practice. For these reasons we respect fully ask that application for the pardon of George Reynolds bo not granted, and that he be compelled to serve tho term of imprisonment to which ho is sentenced as a wholesome warning to his brother saints. Lumber Interest of the Pacific Coast. So fur as estimates can be made, tho sugar pine mills having connection with Sun Francisco could manufacture about 41,000,0000 of feet annually, making a graud total of over 550,000,000 of feet, exclusive of what might be turned out by tho Sonoma County milht along the route of the North Pacific Coast Rail road. It is probable, however, that not more than one-third the amount of lum ber estimated above will be manufactur ed for tho San Francisco market and for eign export, as the present prospects of the trade do not warrant tho large pro ductions of previons years ; and it is be lieved that nearly all the exporting mills on the coast will this year manufacture much less than lust year. The amount of business done will depend largely upon the amount of logs on hand at the several mills. Those having none in boom will not be likely to get out any lumber. Besides the mills enumerated, there are numerous mills scattered along the coast and dotted throughout the State which manufacture for purely local consumption. These are commonly of smaller capacity than the exporting mills, anil are frequently of portable construction, erected for tem porary uso in small bodies of timber. The largest pine mill on tho coast is at Port Gamble, Puget Sound, owned bv Pope & Talbot, and the largest redwood mill at Eureka, Hunibolt Bav, the prop erty of D. R. Jones & Co. Besides tho Sun Francisco and other home markets, there is a large foreign demand for Pucittc Coast lnniber. The Puget Sound mills offer the best facili ties for shipment of lumber by deep water vessels Dickson, Do Wolf At Co., Welch & Co.; Hanson, Ackcrson A' Co., Ronton, Holmes & Co. ; J. W . Grace & Co.; Adams A- Taylor; Pope A- Talbot. The first two firms, shipping from mills at Burrurd Inlet, British Columbia, are tho principal exporters of Puget Sound lumber doing business in San Francisco. The foreign countries to which lumber is fextensively shipped include Chile, Peru, Mexico, Australia, Sandwich Islands, China and Japan. 1)5,000,000 feet is an approximate estimate of the foreign export of lumber from Puget Sound, not including the shipment from tintish I oliimlua ports, for lNio. The estimate from the books of the American firms in this city shipping direct. There is also considerable lumber reshipped to foreign ports from San Francisco, of winch no account is to be hud, and which is erroneously reckoned in our annual home consumption. Most of tho lumber brought to this city comes by water. In tho Puget Sound and Oregon trade vessels are employed with carrying capacities ranging from 250,000 to 1,000, 000 feet. The bark ( 'ttmtndra Adam, owned by Adams k Taylor ; Top Gal lant, by Ronton, Holmes' & Co., and the ship Sagamore, belonging to Pope & Talbot, have each a currying capacity of fully 1,000,000 feet. Trinidad is the only redwood port of entry shipping by deep water vessels. Redwood is brought to this city chiefly by schooners carrying from K0,(HK) to tHll.lHXJ feet, und by rail and transit lighters from Duncan's mill, Russian River. The number and char acter of the vessels engaged in the lum ber trade is so constantly fluctuating that it is impossible to give any list of them which would be either accurate, or satisfactory. Subiiinr.no Telephoning, Mr. Clius. Ward Raymond, C. E.. de scribes in Van Xwtrand' Euyiiweriiui Maqazine the result of some experi ments with the telephone in submarine operations at depths not exceeding thirty feet. One telephone (Phelps Du plex) wus placed in the diver's helmet. and fastened in such a position that, by simply turning bis head, he could placo his mouth or ear to the instrument. The other telephone was placed on the scow which carried the air pump and the diver's helpers. Using Edison's Carbon Trans mitter, with the addition of an induction oil nnd cell of battery, the arrangement was perfectly successful. Conversation was earned on with the utmost facility ; it was not necessary to give the diver any signal other than the simple " hallo !" It was found that the diver could talk in the helmet without putting his mouth to the instrument, nnd he heard planely, nnd therefore he could continue his work and conversation at the same time. The battery, induction coil and transmitter were placed on a shelf on the diver's scow, and together occupied no more room than would a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary : the telephone in the helmet occupieb bnt little room, and, of course, was not at all in the way.

At Brighten, Englund, the other day, a young man was brought before the magistrate for going drunk to a Ritual istic Clinrvh and disturbing the services with noisy demonstrations of applause.

There is no more valuable class of men in any community, so fur as results are concerned, than those who work with muscle the class generally known as "luboring men." lheir coadjutors the men who labor with brain are, how ever, equally valuable. Outside of what is called " professional life," they depend upon each other. There is an avoidable partnership among them, and they are each others best inends : lne one ui' rects the other performs, und both aa complish. The distinction between the two classes is uiiide in reference to the direct means by which each one supports himself, and tills his place in life. No body pretends that the " working man " does not think, any more than that the worker by mind cannot saw wood or dig a mine. But the old notion that the law yer, the clergyman, the doctor, the school teacher, the newspaper man, "aid omne genus," do not labor, has been exploded. There is many a spectacled eye and thin, white linger, that tells the secret of solid hard work. The brain, like muscular organism, de velops and wears out with hard work. They are machines that cannot last for ever. The sleepless watch in your pocket grows ricketv in time ; and the forty-ton locomotive breaks down at last. The one is gold and the other is iron; but both must work and rest, and, like any other machine, the part which does the most work, wears out first. The sturdy black smith's legs and appetite are good, aud bis mind utill bright, when he can no longer wield his hammer. The student's eyes wear ont before his hands. The little fact of thedestruction of parts of eur being by hard usage, shows, in the failure of particular mental faculties, that " headwork " is hard work. Brain needs rest. It is a noticeable fact that men famous for some special intellectual power, begin to grow old in the power first. Napoleon's great ness lav in his wonderful stragetic and executive ability. The prison of Elba could not hold him. The bare rocks of St. Helena did. He bad begun to wear out. The literary world has never pro duced a more versatile and active intellect than that of Walter Scott. He used every part of his brain at once, and used it in cessantly. When his mind gave way, it broke all over. He died almost an idiot. The most brilliant of American wiu and humorists, John G. axe, who, until the the sixtieth year of his life, was the de light of every jovial company he entered who was resistless in his funnine&s, has sunk into a settled melancholia. He writes no more. He sits at home, in the very abjectness of the blues, and refuses even the presence of bis dearest friends. His intellect is as good as ever all but the jolly part. That is worn out. That the brain may work, and work hard, is as plain a truth as is the hard ness of the laboring band. That it needs rest and variety, as much as the stomach doe, is proTed" to us every day. Ilaxk-0. Perils of the Chase.
