RESULTS OF THE YELLOWSTONE ExvEpi- TIow.—Having completed the exploration of the valley of the Yellowstone as far as the Mussel Shell mver, the Stanley expedition is on its re- turn, The origin of the movement and its ob- Ject throughout was the discovery of a more fa- vorable route for the Northern Pacific railroad than that previously marked out. It wasfound that the first surveys carried the road through a remarkably rugged country, and that to build it on that line would be attended with unneces- sary expense. |The valley of the Yellowstone, which lay to the north, it was thought would offer superior advantages, which opinions are now justified by the official accounts from the Stanley expeditionary column. FACILITIES TO THE TRAVELING Prstic.— William Keyser, esq., second vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, bas been notified by the Board of Public Works, in reply to a request for permission to retain tem- rarily the pavement in front of square on New Jersey avenue, between D and E streets northwest, now occupied, at the present grade; and also, permission to construct a roadway at the intersection of O street_at New Jersey nue from proposed change of grade to the level of the pavement, that the permission asked for is granted, and arrangements can be made immediately, as it 1s the intention of the board to atford all factlities in their power to the tray- eling public.

Tue Tour oF Tax InpiAN COMMISSIONER. Indian Commissioner Smith returned to-day from an extended tour among the Indian tribes on the Missouri and at other points in the west. During his absence he held councils with the representatives of 35,000 or 40,000 Indians, and reports that generally he found them peaceable and inclined to respect the wishes of the govern- ment. He first visited the Chippewa agency in Minnesota, and found the Indians, some 6,000 in Dumber, on their reservation and doing well. Some of them are farming, and quite a number of school houses are being built. Sub- sequently he visited the Rees, about 2,400 in number, at Fort Lincoln. As they are hostile to the Sioux, and difficulties between the two tribes are of frequent occurrence, the commis- sioner urged them to go to the Indian territory. They were at first indisposed to consider the proposition, but finally promised to send repre. sentatives there to examine the country. The commissioner proceeded from Fort Lincoln to the Grand River, Cheyenne, Brule, Yank- ton, Ponca, and Santee agencies, on the Mis- souri, and_ held features A councils at each agency. He then went fo the Winnebago ency, in Nebraska, to make the necessary arrangements for theremoval of the Wisconsin Winnebagos (about 1,000 in number) to the re- servation in Nebraska, and thence proceeded to the Sissiton agency, in Dakota, where he was joined by Secretary Delano. Here a most satis- factory condition of affairs was found to exist. All of the Indians, some 1,500 in number, are engaged farming, have schools, wear civilized costume, and live in houses like the whites. The commissioner will leave the latter part of September for Texas,in order to be present with Gov. Davis at the council to be held with the Kiowas and Comanches, at Fort Sill, In- dian territory, on the ist of October, and at which Santanta and Big Tree are to be pre- sent.

BUTLER ON THE STUMP—Two Hours of “Sarcasm and Statistics.”—General Butler opened the Massachusetts gubernatorial cam- paign last night by a speech in Mechanics’ hall, Worcester, which was filled to overtlowing. When he appeared three cheers were faintly given and a volley of hisses, but his speech was attentively listened to, and the effective por- tions were applauded. After two hours of min- gled sarcasm and statistics, in his own defence, the General closed. The speech was largely devoted to his personal controversy with Hoar and the Hamilton-Hall committee. His re- marks in reference to the back-pay bill were mainly a repetition of his views published in his letter some days but he made the prop- osition that if his colleagues, past and present, Hoar, Baldwin, Dawes, Sumner, Boutwell and Washburn, would return all the back salary they had received be would do the same. But- er spoke insultingly of the press of the country that had set ‘E> a howl about the salary gral, and referred in terms the reverse of compli- mentary to some of the newspaper correspon- dents. Ss THE SAVANS AT PoRTLAND.—At yesterday’s session of the American association for the ad- vancement of science, in Portland, Me., Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, was in- troduced, and expressed gratification at the great success of the convention. A number of new facts had been gathered. While not con- demning theory and speculation, which often lead to great results, he placed the greatest re- liance in facts. Dr. be re Saeed and asked that the Dar- winian theory be not harshly condemned. It is one of the greatest generalizations of the age, and has done much for science. He was not a Darwinist, but thought the theory had some value. The association must take @ judicious position, and let gs work clear. Truth above ail things. The officers elected for the Leer year are as follows: Dr. Lecomte, of Philadelphia, presi- dent; Prof. 0. L. Lyman, of New Haven, vice president; Dr.A C. Hamlin, of nope eae tal secretary; W. S. Vaux, of Phil jphia, treasurer. TRANSATLANTIO BALLoonInG.—The Phil- adelpbia transatlantic balloon enterprise, in the interest of which so ogy f meeti were held at the Continental hotel, in that city, and 30 many columns of editorial matter spread be- fore the readers of the newspapers of that city, has entirely collapsed. The committee be ed to obtain subscriptions, consisting of E. W. C. Greene, chairman, G. W. Fairman, Gen. A. M. Stout, F. T. Walton, Richard Penistan, Jos. Sinnott, R. R. Campien and George M. Coates, have, it is said, abandoned the enterprise, and declare themselves unable to raise the amount of money necessary for atrial of the transat- lantic baltoon scheme. About $2,500 had been conditionally subscribed, but the actual cash receipts did not pass the gum of $440, which was expended in printing and other incidental expenses.

On the question of adopting the order of busi- ness, as presented by Col. Wright and amended by C. W.

The delegation from that city claimed that they should be allowed to settle such matters General, (to a female employe arranging a bouquet.) —Who takes a Baltimore paper The female employe, (timidly.)}—I don’t know. Wishing to bring the substance in the shaps of the publication, our reporter, after a little persuasion, prevailed on the door keeper of the main portal to loan him a Baltimore paper, and, “armed with proof,” again invaded the Treasurer's office. The general read it, and looked bewildered, and finally muttered some- thing which sounded very much like “Why, on the 8th of September, and then and there they propose to excommunicate the revolted party. Iam told that the English delegation to each congress will be but small, owing to the difficulty of raising the necessary funds to pay the expenses of the Journey to Geneva.” Waors East axp West.—As the country becomes settied the wages of labor both east and west are graduaily sinking to ® common average.

Harirax, N.8., August 27.—Additional ac- counts of the disasters of Sunday's storm con- tinue to come to hand. The gale, was severely felt along the western coast. At h harbor a store was blown down, a schooner driven ashore, and a large number of fishing boats were wrecked. At Island Cove several col- lisions of vessels occurred, and a number of fishing boats and whalers were driven ashore and swamped. At Herring Cove and along the gulf shore the ravages of the gale were severe, and the — tide caused much damage. At Wallace, a Norwegian bark laden with lumber for Great Britain, was blown far up on the flats. Several wharves in Bedford basin were de stroyed, and tents of the military at Bedford rifle range carried away. Anxie:y is felt for the satety of the Alpha, which left Sydney, C B., Saturday night for Halifax, and has no: yet arrived. Several schooners left Halifax for Sydney Saturday, and great fears are enter- tained for their safety. During the height of the gale in this harbor the United States frigate Powhatan narrowly escaped a collision with ers are as well p st as west. A useful laborer in the east can earn his &2) or <36 a month and board in winter, and $2 to #250 a with board in hawvest time. The western farm hand has the advantage that he can take his 16: acres and work for himself until he gives = mortgage or a credit mobilier Congress gives his land to @ railroad company. As for the ‘ages of workingmen, the middie states have the advantage of the west. A Lone Strike at Trov.—The strike of the men in the employ of the Messrs. Burden, of Troy, has now been continued for eleven weeks, and the prospects of an amicable settlement are by no means as good as they were a month ago. “The decision of the national forge of pnd~ diers, sustaining the workmen, has made them determined to hold out to the end, and the Messrs. Burden are just as determined not to yield any of their rights on this account. The loss of wages to these men has already been abont $50,000, and this amount is largely in- creased each week. The strike has been pro- tracted longer than anyother strike here daring the past ten or twelve vears, with the exception of a six months’ cessation of work some ago, which finally ended in the men yielding and poing to work under the old wages.— Albany Journal. The Timid Female Employé.—General, have Senator Scott and Senator Cameron turned in their back pay’? General.—Senator Scott has; he told mo he did, not because he thought it wrong to keep it, but because the law was retroactive. The Timid Female Employe (in surprise.)— Why, Senator Cameron is rieb; he ought to tarn it in. General.—Those rich fellows can afford to turn it in, but the poor ones, you know, can’t. ‘To the Reporter.—I do think if anything will break up this country it will be the dd SMALL SALARIES they pay their officials.
