Captain Smith, of the "Warm Springs Agency, has served a longer period as Indian agent than any other one in the state of Ore gon, having held the office contin uously for upwards of twenty years. His wards have in all that time been loyal to the whites and did good service to the govern ment by furnishing soldiers during the Xez Perces, and former wars, to assist in squelching the out breaks, on the part of their red brethren. This opportune assist ance rendered under the leader ship of Donald McKay will be re membered by all the old residents of this countn' as long as they live. For this good feeling on the part of the "Warm Spring Indians, the country is deeply indebted to the good management of Captain Smith. The retiring agent, Fa ther "Wilbur, from the Simcoe agency, is another faithful officer who has held the post of agent in that quarter longer than any other in "Washington Territory. He has held the place, with the exception of a short interval, for twenty odd years. His influence over the In dians under his charge, has been remarkable; their advancement in civilization is highly creditable to his efficient supervision. He has accomplished what few other agents have in any other part of the country. The Simcoe Indians come nearing being self sustaining than aiiy Indians in the bounds of "Washington Territory. The In dians carry on nearly every de partment of work at the agency, unaided by white management ex cept that of the agent himself. There are Indian mechanics in the carpenter shop, in the blacksmith shop, and in the flour and saw mills. They live in houses con structed with their own bauds. The houses, many of them are weatherboarded and painted. They have work horses that are trained to all kinds of work; they plow, sow and reap; have wagons and carriages, reapers and mowers, and are skilled in the use of them. They raise wheat, some of them as high as 500 to S00 bushels, the ex cess of which is marketed at the going price; they cut large quan tities o ha much of which is sold to the whites. The women, too, take pride in living much after the manner of the whites, the' have their pigs and chickens, have their feather beds, and other good bedding, pillows and sheets, kept clean and nice, they have sewing machines, tables and chairs, and other furniture, and in their living have good bread, coffee and tea, all of which, they can serve in good style, and although they have good chairs in supply the women seem to have no use for them, as they are mostly seen squatted on the floor, dirt or wood, with a mat or other covering to soften the seat. In the use of chairs they seem to be a failure. All these civilizing influences have been wrought by the efficient management of Father Wilbur, and to him is the govern ment much indebted for valuable services in the suppression of In dian hostilities during the Bannack outbreak. Walla Walla States man. The "Wood River Times says hundreds of men are arriving ev ery week at Naples, the "unction of the Wood River branch with the Oregon Short Line. Some go to engage in business, others to work on the railroad, while not a few are chronic bums, who drop in town utterly strapped and seek ing a country where they may live without working.

The Black Hills Times wants Dakota admitted. Hear it talk: On March 22. 18S3. Dakota will have been a territory for twenty-1 two years, the act of organization having been approved March 22, 1SG1. "We have passed the year of nonage; we are now twenty-one years old. We are of age let us in. We are no longer a big boy; we are larger than New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania together. We are bigger than Kentucky, In diana and Illinois. We are twice the size of all the New England states, with New Jersey and Del aware thrown in. We have 150, 932 square miles of territory, and we want to get in. Let us in. We had 135,180 in 1880, and we have 300,000 now. We'll kick the door in. Let us in. In ten years more we shall have a million people. Let Massachusetts beware how she snubs a younger brother as though she were sole surety on her guardian's bond. Wo don't want any guardian. We are of age. We demand settlement. Open that door. It's cold outside. Wc are paying our share towards warming up inside. Wc have been paying for years, standing all the time outside shivering. We have settled honestly with the fid dler, but had no share in the dance. Let us in. We want to elect our own governor and state officers; 300,000 people can do this better than one man. We want representation; we already have taxation. Let us in. We have more people now than Dela ware, or Florida, or Nevada, or Rhode Island, or Vermont, or Or egon, or Colorado. Why should these states choose a president for us a president to appoint our governor, forsooth? We demand self-government. We could raise a larger army to-day than the combined forces of Washington. Gates and Greene. More old soldiers are settled in Dakota than fought the battles of the rev olution. Let us in. What if we will vote at the next presidential j election? Shall half a million peo ple be disfranchised for any party exigency? Who knows how we will vote? Who knew how Ohio would vote? The only question is, havo we a right inside, not how we will behave ourselves when we get there. Shall Dakota be asked to give bonds to either party? Woe to that which demands it. Let us in. Let us in quick. It's cold out here in Dakota, but we will make it hot enough for the sectional party that slams the door in our face after twenty-one years of patient waiting. Tears form a part of the langu age of the eyes, which is eloquent enough when sparingly used, and which should be sparingly used for other reasons than that of add ing to the mute eloquence. Tears are a disfiguring expression of emotion, and those who get into the habit of weeping over small vexations do much towards ac quiring a careworn, miserable ex pression, and are sure to look old before their time. Expressive weeping has been known not only to injure, but actually to destroy the sight. Few women look pretty or even interesting in tears, though it has been a pleasant fiction in poetry and romance to suppose they do Many women, some men and most children make most disfiguring and distorting grimaces while crying, and the lady who thinks that she can work upon a man's feelings by a liberal supply of tears, should carefully study a becoming mode of producing them before her looking glass.

Dement It is a mistake to suppose that the Arctic winter, in the higher latitudes, is a long, dreary one of opaque darkness. The highest latitude yet reached by man is 83 deg. 20 min. 20 sec, and there twilight lasts four hours and forty-' two minutes on Dec. 22d, the . shortest dav of the northern year. ; Man will have to go some 327 j miles further north than he has yet gone if he is to reach the j region of absolute darkness. The pole itself is in the dark but' seventy-sevQn days from Nov. i 13 to Jan. 29. There is a period ' of about four days in the year during which the sun shines on both poles at the same time. This is due to the fact that the sun is larger than the earth, and that his rays are bent by the earth's atmos- phere in such a way as to converge upon his surface. As an illustration of what the Kansas City Journal calls "Mon tana Cruelty," we quote the fol- lewing: "Montana is a cruel state to live in. The citizens hung seven desperadoes out in the cold one night last week, with the ther mometer minus sixty in the shade, and in the morning the poor men were found frozen to death. Over a hundred desperadoes became so angry at this exhibition of cruelty that they left the country on the next train." AbsoIuteSy Pure. Tills powder never varies.
