THE UNKNOWN ; There flowetfa once in the life of all ! Seme chancing streamlet full of g lWi Whose waters taken wita the fall p Would lead us onward to the sea, TTnp l u cked the blossoms change to brown , : The autumn leaves fall one b y one; TJngathered chances flutter down ¥ Or Tani s h with each setting son. TJntonohed are chords that would unfold Sweet music rolling on the air; Unfonnd , the brightest gems of gold , lie bidden ro u n i us everywhere. Unknown , the golden way to win Is ever ni g h , yet fading fast; Unseen , the thing that might have baaa Is lost forever in the pa sfc - Kot every rose that bloomsih fair Is warmed by beauty ' s smile , I trow— Not every one has for his share To wear a star upon the brow . Yet this is truth that all should know: There is some honor for each state , And should we rule or plow or sow , Tis doing duty makes us great. — W. A. Havener. The Missing Emeralds. BY ISA IiEO X CASSILI3 WANT to see Mrs. W ^ Camp ion—I suppose r \ l jL l can go up ? The vl V speaker was a tall young lad y, hand- l somel y but quietly idressed in black ; the Jjp lace the entry of a / large hotel at a fash- /rionable health resort ; g g ^ the person addressed J v jU page to the estab- ^^ jlishment. The lad y r Ij had been making the grand staircase , when strai ght f or the grand staircase , when the youthful functionary interposed and asked her who it was she wished to see. \I am an old fri end ; I have been here bef o re , \ the lad y added , as the boy looked dubious. - Her 3weet smile was disarming ; not less so her hand some apparel ; th e boy said , \Very well , ma ' am , \ and the vis- itor passed on. Ha lf a n h o u r afterward the lad y passed across the hall on her way out , almost unnotice d—there are so many peop le go in and out of a bi g hotel—and the Royal ¦was the h otel at St. 31— . Almost un- noticed , not quite: a commissionaire asked a waiter standing near him who ~ »» _ ^ _ ttat lady was. \ \Slit isn 't staying here , \ he remarked. \2Jo—a vi sitor , I suppose , \ replied the ^ wai ter , and he walked oS. The lad y was by this time out of si g ht , and the commissionaire , f or the time , forgot all about her ; but he had , hal f Ta jHSCltSus T y T^ &otograp hed her face in his mind. Tho se who are in the habit of. constantl y seeing new faces acquire either a habit of quick and keen obser- vation , or lose almost all power of in- dividualizing ^ The commissionaire was Of the former class. He was an Irishman , too , and t he Irish, ate proverbially keen observers of the human face. Mr. and Mrs. Campion were a jou u g couple on their honeymoon , landed peo- ple , Mr. Camp ion having an estate iu Devonshire; Mrs. Campion presumabl y of the same class as her husband. They occup ied a handsome suite of apartments on the second floor of the hote l , and had already made several agreeable acquaintances in the hotel and in the town. , i Between half-past one and two they ^ returned , after a drive , to lunsheon , • which, was served p rivatel y in. their own apartments. Mrs. Camp ion was a remarkabl y prett y -woman of about twenty-four , petite in fi gure , and with small re g ular features. Her husband was quite ten years her senior , ana had a good deal of the coun- try squ ire in his air and manners—the sort o f a man to ride straight to hounds , and know the points or a horse better than the i nsides of books. \Any one c alled? 1 ' he asked of the fwaiter , as he sat down to luncheon. \No , sir ; I believe not , sir. Til in- quire. \ In the afternoon the pair strolled out for awhile , and at five came in to tea. At sir o ' clock Mrs. Camp ion ' s bell -ting led with as much violence as an e lectric b ell is capable of betray ing, and when th e page responded to the sum- mons he saw Mr. C amp ion looking a \whole thunderstora , and Mrs. Camp ion ^S fy T Kfey-Ks U aJng on a fanteuiL •'fell Mr. Wils on (the prop rietor) I must sec him at once , \ said Mr. Cam- pion. ¦Mr. Wilson was speedily on the spot , to learn that Mrs. Camp ion ' s emera l ds , .Talced by their owner at £ 2 000 , had been stolen. They were , it appeared , p secured in a large trunk or chest in Mrs. -C ampion ' s dressing room. She herself iept the ke y of this trunk. The other jewels were in the same place , but none ¦of them had been touched , probabl y be- cau se of their inferior value. The I J fcief h ad , b y s om e me a ns , opened the 'trunk , and the casket containing the e mer alds—a necklace, bracelets and ear ri ngs—had been removed. Mr. Camp ion did not rave or storm; he simp ly said that he should hold Mr. Wilson responsible for the loss. The host , on his side , rep lied that the guests lad n ot taken reasonable care of the :jewels , and refused to make good, the jloss. Inquiries resulted in disclosing the {fact t hat a lady had called that morning . rand had been allowed by the page to go Mp to Mr. Campion ' s rooms. \We don 't k now any such person , \ Said Mrs. Camp ion. \It was inexcuable <to allow her to come up to our rooms. 'I dare say one of these hotel theives i heaxd ' of the emeralds—I have twice \ -worn them at parties since I have been here—and i aid a p lot to obtain them. Information was at once g iv e n to the (local police , and a descri ption of the \lady \ - wh o called wired up to Scotland :YawL - 1 The next-day Mr. - and Mrs: Camp ion Ue ft g t , M— for London , and ' at once guard—my personal descri p tion ot Mm was at once recogniz ed—and at the age of twenty-five left his home , such as it was , and went abroad. That disposes oi the honeymoon business. As for famil y jewels , there haven 't been any with in living memory. So it' s cl ear that this man and woman are a coup le of swind- lers , the visitors ' and the maid prababl y being in the swim. The emeralds are probably paste; and the call of the lad y that morn ing an arranged thing. If th at had failed they 'd hare worked the jo b some other way. As like as not the j ewels are in their possession now , to be used in the future p lant. You s ee they were clever en oug h to fla sh them about a bit , so that they were seen by inde- pendent w itnesses. \ \But , \ exclaimed the amazed' Wilson , \ one of these witnesses was an expert; he swore to the value of the-gema. \ The detective smiled. \Don 't you know there ' s a paste that wall deceive a jeweler , unless submitted to certain tests? The witness was honest enough , but deceived , as any one would be , under the conditions. If the gems were real , these peop le wouldn 't d are to advertise them so openly, for they could onl y be stolen , a nd emerald s don 't lie by the roadside; whoever had lost them would b e on the trail at once. Now , sir , not a word to any one. I' ve got to follow this up. \ The detectiveswent over to Paris and there discovered throug h the police , that Celeste Bardel , the maid , was known to the secret police under several names. Mr. Camp ion and his wife were also sus- pected of certain swindles , b ut nothing had been proved. About a year ago , howeve r , a lady answering to the descr i p- ti on of Mrs. Camp ion , but g iving an other name , had purchase d a paste emerald set —necklace , br acelets 1 * and earrings—of a jeweler in the Rue de'la Paix. The en- t ire set was sold for £35. There was no doubt whatever tha t r . Mr. Camp ion , ol Waldon Hall , was a cunning and ac- comp lishe d s win d l e r , his g ood birth and education e n abling Mm to appear to advantage. Of course th e money with wh ich he cut a dash at St. M— was got in some dishonest manner , but Mr. Wilson was not concerned to rake up his late guest' s whole career; hi3 last c oup was sufficient for mine host at the Roya l Hotel , to bring action for attempt to defr a ud , and M r. and Mrs. Camp ion found themselves in the dock instead of in the witness box , together with their accomplice , Celeste s; the tall , fair lad y rema i ned perdue. Sure enoug h the \ emeralds \ were found in the possession of the worth y coup le , who were com- mitte d for trial; the regular- detectives , in the interval , taking up the matter , with th e result that it was discovered the gentlemen with the famil y jewels and his wife were '\wante d\ in Berlin , and Vi enna forremarkable clever fraud3. Mile. Celest e was haaded over to the French police under an extradition war- rant , and Mr. and Mrs. Campion passed a long and not altogether p leas- ant \honeymoon \ in au Eng lish, prison. Mr. Wilson did > not forget to reward the keen-witted Irishman , whose ap- parently \unreasonably \ suspicion had saved his emp loye d £2000. Au Olive i'iantatlon. The finest p lantations of olives are in the Nablus district of Palestine , but nearly every village has its larger or smaller grove. There t is no doubt that the o live tree is one of the mo3t valuable products of the country, and that it could be made n still greater source of revenue than it is at present. It requires but little and lives and y ields fruit even when neg lected . It onl y requires graft- ing and a little di gg ing up and clearing out , a nd thi s don e , i t yields a plenciful crop in return for the small amount of pains bestowed upon it. The fellaheen say that the vine is a sitt—a delicate town lany who requires a great deal of car e and atten tion. The fig. on the con- trary, is a fellaha—a strong country wo- mhn who can flourish without such ten- der care; but the olive tree is a bold b e dawi j e , who , in spite of neg lect and hardshi p, remai ns a strong und use ful Arab wife. The olives ri pen towards the end of the summer; the trees are then beaten with long sticks , care being taken not to destroy t he young leave and shoots. The fruit is collected and spread out on the roofs or other convenient p laces , and then put into heaps for a little while in order that it may s l i g htl y f erment , a fter which it is taken to tne oil pre33 , where it i s . crushed under a heavy millstone , and , , packed in little str aw baskets , is fina l l y pressed. The oil (zayfc) runs into a lit- tle cemented cistern , from which it is drawn in leather bottles or large earthen jars for carry ing away. The fel lah uses it both for light and nourishment. If he has nothing better he contents to eat some bread soaked in oil. It is also used a great deal in to wn cookery, but as a means of lig ht it has been almost superseded by petroleum. Much inferior olive oil is exported to France and Ital y. The jift , or refuse of the oil , is used for fuel , having great proper ties of heat. —Detroit Free Pres3. A Tery Peculiar Notion. Some one has estimated that at least one-fourth of the world knows not hing of the use of forks , and full y one-quarter of the men , women and children in it eat with tiieir finger. The Egyptians and Turks p ride themselves on their cleanlines s in the use of their fingers r a ther than f orks , and g ive a very in- genious excuse for the practice. Fcrks , they say, have been in some other man ' s mouth , and you have to depend upon your servants for their cleaning. These pe o p le wash the ir hands before sitting down to table or squatting aroun d the meal on t h e floor , and they take up the morsels of food with thin p ieces of bread , \ rolling it around such food or soppin g it in the soup. They use their bands in aiding in the carving and tear rather tbau cut their roasted fowls. The United Sta tes nas more than 500 , - 000 bearing banana p lants , 200 , 000 bearin g lemon trees , 4 ^ 000 , 000 or a uge trees and 21 , 000 , 000 pineapple trees. commenced an action against Mr. Wil- son for the value of the stolen jewels— £2000. The case came on in due course , but as the crime was not of a speciall y sen- sational order , and the parties were not known to the general public , it excited no particular interest. The p laintiff , described as of Waldon Hall , Devonshire , deposed to the facts. The emeralds had been in the possession of bis family for many years; they had been valued b y experts at £2000. A witness , who had seen Mrs. Cam- pion wearing them at St. M— , and was well acquainted with the value of jewels stated in evidence that £2000 was rather under than over the mark for gems so rare and so fine as those emer- alds. Mrs. Camp ion swore that the jewels -were locked up in a trunk of which she alone had the key. It was a patent lock. She had put the casket away af- ter attending a party at which she had worn them. On the day of the theft she herself unlocked the trunk for her maid to lay out those jewels , and the loss was then discovered. The maid Ce- l este Bardel , who had been si x y e a r s with her mistress , corro borated this evi- dence. The lad y in bl a ck , who h a d g ot clean off with her booty, was evi dentl y an expert thief. The defense was \ contributory neg li gence. \ Mra. Camp ion oug ht to have g iven her jew- els into the personal care of the prop ri- etor ; but there could be no question about the negli gence of the page , who had allowed' a stranger free access to the rooms of the guests. The jerdict was for the p l a int i ffs f or t h e f u ll amount claimed. As soon as the verdict was g iven the commissionaire , Daly, who wa s one of the witnesses , having noticed the lady in black , whispered to Mr. Wilson : '•Pardon the liberty, sor , but if I was you , sor , I'd appale. \ . Wilso n started. \What for? It would only be a waste of money. \ \ Oi' m e not so sure , sor—it ' u d gain toime. \ \What are you driving at , Daly?\ \I don 't know mesilf , sor; but I'd ap- pale if it was me. Your pardon , sor. \ Somehow the man ' s manner—perhaps because of its mystery—impressed his master. He instructed his counsel to give notice of appeal , and ask for a stay of execution meanwhile. Counsel was inclined to advise against what seemed to him a useless and expensive course to his client , but Wilson was firm , and he gave the required notice. The stay of execution was opposed by Mr. Cam- p ion ' s counsel , instructed by his client ; but the jud ge would only order that the £2000 be paid into court pending the appeal. ^ Daly beamed* . \That's roi g ht , \he said to himself , and when Mr. Wilson left the court he took the Irishman with him to the solicitor ' s. \ I Sfow , Dal y, \ he s aid , when the two gentlemen were seated, Dal y—a some- time private in the Irish Fusiliers—stand- ing respectfully \ at attention , \ \ what have you got in that head of yours?\ * « « Wn y , sor \ —saluting—Oi' ve been thinkn i ' a dale about this matter , an ' wane thing an ' another. If oi was you, sor , I' d set a ditictive on to 't. The gin- tleraan , he ' s a g intleman; but there ' s g intlemen , sor , t ha t can do d h irty wo rk ; but the lad y, she ' s not the thrue lady, sor. I was takin ' a good look at her in the coort; an ' ye moi g ht be afther foind- in ' out , sor , whether the gintleman ' s got the bi g e a thate in Divonshire; ye see , sor , if I may make so bowld , ye don 't know it , an ' havin 1 plinty o ' money, an ' there ' s mor e t h a n wan way a v gitting that— . \ He paused. \W « a , Dal y ?\ said Mr. Wilson ; the solicitor was listening attentivel y. \Well , sor , \ he went on , \it don 't seem/ loike a g intleman to want the money paid down at wanst , does it? Wid aay one loike yerself , he couldn 't think ye ' d run away widoufc payin ' , an ' he looked black , an * he looked at the lady. Maybe , sor , if you was to pay the money now there 'd be no more heard of Mr. Camp ion. \ \Do you mean to suggest , \ said the solicitor , \that Mr. and Mrs. Campion are swindlera?\ . \Faith , an 5 1 wou ld n 't won dher , sor. There ' s a many things stranger done than stalin ' yer own properfhy. \ \But , my good fellow , \ said Mr. Wilson , \the man would have got £2000 for the jewels by selling them. \ \That depends , sor , \ said the. Irish- man , dry ly; \there ' 3 two sorts av im- era l d s . \ Wilson sprang to h is feet. \The man may be ri g ht in his susp i- cions!\ he exclaimed , excitedly. \I'll go to Long (a famous private detective) ; it will do no harm , anyhow. \ He went off at once with Daly to Long ' s office. That shrewd person lis- tened to the whole story, and to Dal y ' s suggestions ,. and asked that person more particularly what he meant by Mrs. C a mp ion not being a \ fine lady. \ \A gentleman , you know , \ he said , to \draw out\ the commissionaire , \ often marries a little out of his class 1\ \Faith , sor , more ' s the p ity, \ rep lied Daly, \but i t ' s this way, sor. Oi' ve seen lots ay both sarts , an ' there ' s a look av this wan that g ives me to think she may be the wron g sart , ye un dher-. st hand?\ \Perfectly. \ \He ' s a duced keen fellow , that P ad- dy, \ the detectiv e said later , aside to Mr. Wilson. \Well , sir , if you put the case in my hands , I think I sh a ll not disappoint you. \ For five da ys Mr. Wilson heard noth- in g more of the matter. The public had forgotten it already. Then , one day , the de tective presented himself before Mr. Wilson. \Wel l , sir , \ he began , \I think this is a p lant. I' ve , found Waldon Hall— there is such a p lace—and Camp ion is y our guest' s name , but the hall is a tumb le-down p lace , in such bad repair that nobody will take or buy it , with about two acres of -worthless land be- longing to it. The late Mr. Camp ion ' s father had \wasted what property there was. Hit son finished the business. YouHtfr, Campion was ' always a black- strai ght mm speaks RIHGIHG WORDS JOE PROTECTION BY THB EX- SECRETARY—PRESIDENT HAEBI- SON ' S ADMINISTRATION ENDORSED. The H on. James G. Blame , while a guest of Whitelaw Heid , the R e publ i can candidate for Vice-President , at the let- ter ' s country residence , sin : W es tche s ter County, N. Y . , was serenad e *! by the Re- publicans of the nei ghb o rhood , and in response made a ringing address. He said : \Fellow Citizens ' b f Hew York: I should be churlish , indeed , if I did not make response to your call , after you have come several miles to this beautiful home of Mr. Reid , on this p leasant Oc- to ber evening. At the same time I am not making speec h es in the canvass , for reasons which are well known to my friends , and whidi have no connection whatever with politics. \Generall y, administrations in Pres- idential elections are challenged on ac- count of the condition of the business of the country, and I submit that the \ Re- publican administration of President Harrison can triump hantly endure such a test. (App lause). I doubt if , since he Government of the II nited State* was instituted , anybod y at any time has seen what we call ' good times ' so general , taking in so many interests and spread- ing prosperity throug hout the whole do- main of trade. I mi ght appeal to New York if the city has ever passed a season more satisfactory in financial results than for the past two years , in which the general effect on capita l and labor has been more prosperous. (App lause). \The . opponents of the Republica n Party always represent New York as a commercial city, an d not a manufactur- ing one , and yet the product of the manufacturers oKthis city alone is $700 , - 000 , 000. Anything that wodd cri pp le that great interest would cripp le the metropolis seriousl y and to a very hurt- ful extent. More men in New York get their living f r o m pu r suits protecte d by th e tariff than from any other scource. I know New York is the centre of our commerce—the great entrepot of our trade; but all the men engaged in com- mercial affairs in and about New York are smaller in numbers than the men en- gaged 'a manufactures. Nor if you go west where the Democrats this year are ma king considerable effort and doing a vast amount of boasting (laughter) will you fio<£ it different ? . ^ * - ' \Take Ohio, - take Michigan , take Indiana , take Illinois , and the products of manufactories are greater in pecuniary amounts than the products of agriculture in these four great agricultural States ; so that I think , when it happens to Democratic orators , who r are on the wing, trying to arouse the hostility of these States against t he protective tariff , \ they wi ll encounter a sentiment, of which they have not dreamed. We learn from the D emocratic Party that these Western S tates are in a desperate condition. The amount o f their farm mortgages ro lls . up int o the millions. You would suppose it fabulous that the amount of mon ey they embrace could ever have been so invested . This is not so among the farmers in New York. It is not bo among the farmers in New Jersey. It is not so among the farmers of Connec- ti cut. It is not so among the farmers of Pennsy lvania. It is not so among the farmers of any State near b y, whose con- dition can be easil y learned , but by a singular fatality it is the Western States that have got all these farm mortgages burdening them and taking the life out o f the people 1 (Laugh ter and ap- p lause.) \ I do not like to state that gentle- men have voluntaril y misrepresented the facts , but before accepting them as such , you will do well , and wisely, to demand the proofs. '•The tariff , so Democratic papers say, is the' ori g in of a p lutocratic Govern - ment , when wealth shall rule and po o r men shall not get their r i g hts. I shall Venture to challenge all statements of that kind , an d I shall make the Demo* cratic accusers Che jud ge s in the case. A car eful examination of the list of wealth y m en in the country has been published , and has demonstrated the fact to be quite the Teverse ; to such an extent , in- deed , that m the city of New York , taking the first 150 great fortunes , not three , not two , not more than one would be considered as derived from manu- facturing investments. \I have a word to say about the Irish vote. I see it stated that the Democrats ' boast of having the mass of them in ' their ranks this year. It is one of the mysteries of our politics that a question \ shich interests Eng land so supremel y, w hi c h is canvas s e d a l most as much in London as it is in New York , should have the Irish vote on the side of Great Brit ain. If the Ir ts n vote were sol idly for prot e ct i on , they could defy all the ma chinations of the Democratic Part y for free trade , and throw their influence on the side of the home market of America against the tide of the forei gn markets of Eng land. \I kno w this appeal has been fre- quentl y mad e to the Irish voters , b ut I make it with emp hasis now , for I am uh « ¦wi lling to believe that with the light of knowled ge before them they will delib- eratel y be on the side of their foimei oppressors. I think shall rel y on my good friend Ega o , the bri lliant and suc- ces sful Minister to Chile—whom I feel especial ly glad to meet at Mr. Reid' ? table this evening—I think I must rel y on him to intercede with his countrymen —his countrymen in two senses—not to aid the Democratic 1 Party in lowering the standard and the wages of American labor by t heir potential votes and their potential numbers. \ (Continued ap- p l ause.) • - ' ¦:- • ' : ¦ - : - ' • , : ¦ • .

For they are loaded fi gures —loaded with cogent arguments—for President Harrison ' s re-election , which the Democracy cannot meet. Would the vote ra be acting the part of level-headed men if they should say by their ballot) that they desired the discontinuance of th / of the Republican policy ^ o f; protec- tion under which the grand and beneficient results for which thest fi gures \ stand were brought about? What could the country make by a change of administration? Anjthing desirable? Mr. Cleveland is p led ged by the p latform to which as an honorable man he is full y committed to the main- tenance and enforcement of the proposi- tion that the protection of American labor and American cap ital is unconsti- tutional. What , then , in the event of his election and the return of his party t o pow e r , would he and they do? They would endeavor , w ith as little loss of time as possible , to break down the s y s- tem of protection at all points. The Democracy for which Mr. Cleveland stands , let it be borne in mind , is essen- tiall y different , so far as its tariff policy is concerned , irom the Democracy at any previous stage of its history. It used to be friendl y to some—not much , but some —protection. \Incidental 11 protection was one of its concessions. But that era has passed . Obviousl y, if protection is unconstitutional , even an infinitesimal degree of it cannot be tolerated—is an offence against the fundamental law of the land. Our Republican friends the State over are finding this table of figures a most telling campai gn document. J t is to the point; it is readil y comprehended; it wei g hs a ton. Is a change desirable? These fi gures say no. Would Democrat- ic administration , in all it would imply, g ive the country a greater degree of pros- perit y than it . now enjoys? These figures say no. Therefore , let them be circulated wid ely and pressed home. — New York Tribune. Quest ions For Free Tvailera. The farmer produces nothing but your so-called raw materials.

Why has British agriculture been al- most ruine d since tho adoption of free trade if that policy especially benefits f armers ?

The following clause of the Constitution being under consideration in;convention , \ The times; p laces and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representa- tives shall be prescribed in each Stato by the Legislature . thereof; but thV Co n - gre |s^ njay at:any time- by law make or alter. \ such regulatioB s , except as - to .the p la& s s ' o f ;fchoosing Senators. \' Mr. \ Madi- so n; J said: , : ' « Tb e; necessity of ; a general government supposes tb ^ t she Sta ^ Leg- islature will sometimes fail or refuse to consult the common interest at the ex- pense of their local conveniences or pre- judices. ... This view of the subject seems to decide that the Leg islature of the States oug ht not to have the un- controlled rig ht of regulating the times , p laces and manner of holding elections . ; . .What danger could there be in g iving a controlling power to tho Na- tional Leg islature? Of whom was it to consist? First , of a Senate to be chosen by the State Leg islatures. If the latter , therefore , could be trusted , their repre- sentatives could not be dangerous. Secondly, of representatives elected by the same peop le who elect the State Legislatures. Surel y, then , if confidence is due-to the latter it must be due to the former. It seeined a % improper in prin- ci p le , though it mi g ht be less inconven- : ien t in p r actice ,.to g ive to the State-; Le ^ g i8 fe tures _ this;: * grea 6 : ^ ^ authbrity ' oyer|f the el ection ^ pe o p le ) in the g eneral ^ L e ^ i ^ urc r i as ' ^ ;would to g ive to the latter a like power over the election of their represen tative s In the State Leg islatures. \ On two subjects , therefore , which are giving them considerabl e trouble , . uamel y, protection , and National elec- tions , the Democrats of to - day are the degenerate sons of Jeffe w on and Madi- s on. Farmers anil the ThriffC Orange County farmers would rather hear of a good home-market than listen to all the fine promises that could be made of markets thousands of mile3 away. Th e farmers in the vicinity of New- buvg, f or instance , would rather read a b out the e s ta bl i s hment of on e or two silk mills here , and the revival of the old Washington Iron Works , than read the moonshine s tories abuut their \ a urplm products \ - being shut out of forei gn markets that they never sold a dollar ' s worth of gardeu truck in and never ex- pect to. The farmers of the Wallkill Valley have be en del i g hted to know of the prosperity t hat has come to Walden since the enactment of the McKinley tariff. That wise measure caused Walden ' s manufacturing interests to boom. \Wor k became plentie s and wages increased. The entire village rejoices in this pros- perity. And so do the farmers of the Wallkill Valley. For they know that with the building up cf home manu- factures their own prosperity is inti- matel y connected. Their home market is bettered. The cash for their products is in s ' g ht. —Newburg (N. Y.) Journal . NEW TOM STATE NEWS. Prosperous Indians. . -¦ • General T . J. -Morgan , Comiriissiouer of ; Indian Affairs , has just visited the re s erva- tions in New York State , and reports that he found the material condition oE these In- dians mucii better than he had expected to find it. They Jive in better houses , cultivate more l an d , raise more stock and app s ar iu every way more advanced in oiv l Uzation than he had expected. They c o mpare , he thinks , very favorably with multitudes of whites and appear also very anxious in most cases to improve their condition. He found very general comp laint in regard to toe character of t h 3 day sc ' iooU main- tained among th a m by the State of New York. They insisted that the sc ' aool a wera - often taught by young, in i x m'ienc a l an I incompetent teachers , and they were of com- parativel y little value t a them. They seem to have outgrown these primitive schools and are very eagar for something be tter. There was a very general expressioa of delight that the way had b s en opened for their children to rec j ive in the Government schools au industrial education and a broader culture than th a y could get in th a day schools , and they were very urgent tliat as large a number as possible of their children miEUt be permitted to go to Carlisle.
