"The rilling passion, be It what It will. The ruling passion conquers reason still." Hail they (the family before mentionoil) been met by the salutation that thev were selfish and rude, they would have spurned tho charge and resented it. The family consisted of father, mother, two children between six and nine, and an elderly genteel looking person, who ' carried the bahy, but whether she was aunt, grandmother, or child-nurae was not revealed hy appearance. Two seats were immediately reversed tp!tk-a tktk, and the process of settling away for the ' journey commonoed. The woman with • It the baby was placed by a window and a small portemantenu and child's cloak filled the other half of the seat j window No. 2 the other two children scrambled for, and jostled each other for its exelu- . * ! i sive possession, in a manner that told volumes on the sulject of "homo train- ! ' itig and parental authority." Their words and actions displayed minutely , how tha garden of their little hearts was being cultivated ; how the weed* of selfishness and tyranny, of enn-lty and passion — aye, of viee and • crime, had l(een matured ami cultivated till their ^ giant growth had choked and crowded • « i out all the little seeds nnd plant* of the 1 good, the pure and the generous in their nature*.

On the seoond seat, with the boys, was placed a bird cage containing a poor little frightened canary, which these children squabbled over in the saute manner u* they did for the window ; indeed if one of them waktbd any tiling, that ft a* reason enough why the other should uav k it. Window No. 3, the mother occupied .with a huge maltese cat for a companion. I could not oonceive why these poor dumb creatures bad been brought along unless it was to indulge the cruel propensities of the children in tormenting Ihpjl. Ob, for the presence of Burgh I 1 really think the bird would have been glad to have taken refuge in the jaws of tabby, and returned thanks -for deliverance from the tigers. Window No. 4 was taken possession of by the father, and the other half of the seat filled with clothing and a lunch basket. At las# tlie settling away was completed — for the children hod settled awuy, kilkenney -cat-fashion, to the occupation of the complete extermination of each other, the baby had settled to the utter destruction of grandma's nurse's, or what-not's collar, neck-tie, bonnet etc., and the tearing of her hair out by the roots ; father and mother had settled away respectively ; the flD^toer to gathering the news of the . *lay from a N. Y. daily, the latter buried in the columns of the New York Ledger, and utterly oblivious of every thing about her, perhaps living over again the days of her wooing and wedding in tlie love tales of that love-sick paper. After the oar was full (the fnmily being spread over nearly hslf its seats,) in came a poor, tired, tliin and sorrowful looking woman, with a child in her arms and one at her side. She stood there, the picture of "Patience on a Monument," occasionally speaking to the children in the meekest of motherly manners. The little girl by her side, spying the unoccupied seats, started to ono exclaiming in childish glee, "G! I see a seat for you and baby, mamma, and ono for mo - .1 -r— - — --*■ v — 1 That was the signal for tho young canibals to cease their wrangling, drop their differences, and join forces to expel the new intruder. Presto! change! What valient defenders of family rights, and even of each other, they at once became — it reminded ine of a quarrel between man ami wife when a third person steps in. "Will, push her oft' there, she shnnt have. that seat, that's for baby's cloak ami papa's satchel, and she slmnt have this one for wo want this, don't we Willie?" "Yes," says Willi*, "and our ' poor little birdie, too, wants to sit here by cs, don't it Johnny ? (if the bird could only answer for itself it would say, ''anywhere but hero") and mutnina wants that sent for lior and multie, don't you momma T and the other one is papa's and we ain't going to give any of them up, so you'll have to stand up you will, you naughty littlogirl ; you and your mamma too, for we want these don't wo Willie? and we're going to have them. A Ins, how many reason thus, "we want these, therefore they're ours."— "I want that, so it's mine." The father and mother wore both utterly deaf, dumb, and blind to the sights nnd sounds about them, evidently accustomed to just such soothing music at home." After awhile Patience (that ought to be her nalne, if it Was not,) snid timidly, "Excuse me sir, hut is this scat taken?" | They hotli looked up in a dreamy manner ami then at ei\ch other; when the man made a half unwilling move as if to give up tho seat, because lie knew of t no excuse to make for keeping if ; but her wits served her better, ami she said, "oh, don't move those things we've just got settled away for a long ride, ami the conductor will bo tlimugh the car pros cntly nnd he will find her n iikttkk seat-" Both children screamed, "don't let her sii there, may bo* we'll want t*» sit there by'm-hy, wont wo Willie ?" — "Yes, cause we'll git tired here, 4 out we Johnny?" The conductor tun come through, ami he Din got her a scat, and her children too; they did ncfi have to go two steps out of their way to get it cither. Didn't you ever see just such a picture ? Wo mny meet some of tliislinppy family ag^in, some time, and we will certainly recognise them if we do, hut we hope it will be a more pleasant picture next time. Why is it that in a railway car people will do what they would blush at the thought of in nny other place ? - • »- The doctors report considerable smk- 1 iwh» thl» month. (

Two Way $ of Doing It. A government Inspector of veeseU, while on an official tour, not long ainoe, tried an experiment. He remained upon one vet»eel nearly a whole day, and at a moment when he wo* unobserved, stepped to the bell and rung afire alarm. Officer* and crew seemed to looee their wit*, the engines did not stop, men rushed about for bucket*, but there seemed to be no system. The inspector stood, watch in hand, noting the occurrences ; and when they were over, he gave the ooaamaading officer to understand that there must be an immediate reform in res|>ect of alarms, and a more stringent state of discipline enforced. On another vessel the same ex|>eriment was tried. The bell hod not stopped ringing when the engines stopped ; men rushed at once to their places ; and in less than three minutes hose pipes had been connected, and two streams were l>eing forced through tliein, while men stood, bucket* and axes in hand, ready for orders. 1 n botlj instances the officers and crew belioved tlie alarm to be geuuine. The Indian School at Carlisle. a letter. Kiowa, comma vche and Wic«rir* A«itc?rcies, 1. T. Anadakko, Feb. 21st 1880, KAr-i»oont.K and K ah -no— my dkak son and dacohter s 1 sent you off to school to educate you so that when I am dead and placed in the ground you will know how to get along without mo. I want you to keep strong hearts and try very hard to learn. The white man nays that when our children become educated, they will be able to get along as well as white people. Son, 1 want you brace up your courage, strengthen your heart, do not let me hear that you are getting tired or dissatisfied. I am very sorry to hear that you are sick. I hare known for some time that I have but a short time to live, and my heartiest desire ho* been that I might make a good { rfl^dior my children before 1 leave vou. But now death is about to overtake *ntr, and 1 shall leave much of my work undone when I am called to go. I sent you to school where you now are for the purpose of making a man of you, nnd to make you like a white man, you know 1 always liked the white man's road I'm still the same way. If I were well I would work stronger than ever to adopt the ways of white people. 1 may not live to see you again, hut when I am dead I want you all to follow your father's advice. I want you to remember the many good talks that I have made to you. When you come hock from ! school if I am dead, you can come and live with your mother and you will then have learned to do many good thing* so that you can help your brothers niul sisters. You used to go to school at Fort Sill and 1 often visited you on the Medicine dnv (Sunday) and hoard the white people talk about Jesus. Many {food hooks and papers were within the I walls of that house. I then resolved to | show you, my son, the good road, nnd i as 1 have often heard our white friends talk alauit Jesus. I want you and all my children to believe on Jesus as 1 do. When you have learned to read well you will soon learn all about what th«« white man thinks about the Great Spirit, and you must loarn to do good, and not had now as you are there with a great many white people. 1 auppoae • you have many friends among them. Jf nny of your friend* are aequaintod with the red man's rond, thev must surely think that you are the s<»ii of a very good man or else you would not have been tent so far nwny to sebool. Ye*, my son, your father is a man who listened to what our futliwr at Washing ton snid to his red children abd to the I good talks of our Agent and believe* in , Jesus. SnnJ I would bo very glad to know that after 1 am dead ami gone ' that you nnd your mother ami your brother* and sisters arc to live like white people. If you follow my advice you will some time he better fixed than you now are. We am now so poor that we can do nothing. Many Kiowa* are making corn -fields ; hut I have no horses to work, nor am I able to go to i the agency to ask Agent to help inc. You inuat feel bad when you hear that your father ha* no corn field lor 1 am not able to make it. 1 am sorry that I have to fts.feV Jlich news to you a* yon know that 1 always liked to raise corn Ac, but I have no stock to work with.* None of our Kiowa Mends are willing to help me ami as I am not able to g° to sec the agent upon whom I always 1 decoded for assistance, we will not be

aide to get any thing done thia apnog. That b all that 1 have lo any, son. I have written enough that you may > know how we are doing, would be glad lo hear that you are welL You must 1 write to me soon and tell me how you are getting along, and whether you are 1 tick or well. If you never see me again I most anxiously hope that my many 1 white friends may remember me and 1 my talk and be kind to my children and help them to get along and show Uieui the good road. This is my dcetrc. That is all. Your affociiomu* (other — P*«-ao. I *HU horaen were- all stolen by the white* a few week* ago. 1 OL'R DJMXU-HALL. ' It wo* said ; " Pre j aire a short article for our paper telling of our diiiing-holl arrangement*. We may be called enthusiastic ; but then we wont it to be known wliat we are trying to do." Yes 1 EnthuMaxiieul — God in us, and I like to use it on proper occasions," was the response. Our dining-hall Is one hundred feet long with an L fifty feet I in length being added and when completed will seat three hundred person*. At present nine tables are furnished at each of which eighteen Indian youths are seated and each table served by on Indian girl. Who would not be en* thuaiaatic lo see these one hundred and eighty youths gathered from sixteen different Indian tribes, many of whom have from time immemorial been deadly enemies to each other, three times a day marching in order from their different quarters, entering the dining-hall quietly, and when seated reverently bowing the head while thanks are given for tlie food prepared? It is true, giving of thanks is no new thing for an Indian, for what tribe forget* to offer the first fruit* of the field or the chase 'to lliru of whom they have craved success. But to come to God through Jesus the »Son, is the new thought to them, and as sonfH ar<Vhri.*tians, it stirs the soul with fresh fervor to hear from different tribes tho breathed amen. The tables are served i n\%\» miw tliutvij v| » »• , , 4 al Hie close of each meal they are set in order by them for the next : indeed all the dining-hall work is done by these girls, and when they once understand what is the order of all the service they are as faithful and labor a* cheerfully as is usual for the girls of our own nation to do nt their age. lp directing so many girls with regard to the minutiae of this work, one j»er?«on is not especially idle if the work when done" will bear criticism, but the tedium of such oversight is relieved hy the thought that all this repetition is to tell on the happiness of homes in the various tribes front which these girl* are gathered for training and we can go forward cheerfully giving "Line upon line, precept upon precept, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little," till those who Are now with us shall return to their people to carry beck to them the influence of their new life, and others shall come to fill I their places. E. G. F. from THt farmer** retort. Tlie agricultural department of the Indian School at Carlisle Barrackajahor* under some disadvantage* arising from the unfavorable condition of the land belonging to the Government. It was deemed important by the authorities to confine the agricultural training of tlie boy* to the immediate vicinity of the school, where the land is much run down. Tim and labor will remedy thin difficulty. We have at this date, April 'J.'h-d, planted six acre* of potatoes, m»t •Hit three bushels of onion oots, two thousand early cabbage, planted early I was, beets, parsnips, lettuce, radi*hc^, sweet corn Ac., proportionately. The cutting, dropping, nnd covering of po. tntoe*, the setting of onion sets, planting of. cabbage and sowing of seeds, such a* parsnip seeds Ac., ha* mostly been done by I my* from ten to fourteen years of age, ami much to my satisfaction. Beyond ex|»ectntion I find many of the boys quick in acquiring a knowledge of the work, but for want of practice, very awkward in bundling tool*. They also show considerable core In doing work as instructed. There are time* when they grow* careless and indifferent but jf reproved and instructed to renewed car© they show a desire to obey and are not stubliom «»r disobedient. The greatest disadvantage I find is in communicating first principles, or the why and where- ; fore, as they cannot understand our language. and the only method of instruction is bv practical illustration and Mgns. A know l»Kige of our language then become* an all tnqwitant feature. This they arc fust acquiring under the school systewT Boys from ten to fourteen are generally active, ehocrful, intelligent ind obedient*.
