They wil! stay several weeks in Minnesota and return to Washington for the winter. THE INTER-OCEANIC PROJECT.—An effort is making to revive interests in the Nicarauguan Inter-Ocean’s canal project. This effort is being made here and in other sections of the country. The friends of the project are get- ting uneasy lest England and France may secure control of the route. Capitalists in these two countries are ready to place the necessary funds to complete the work, and the government of Nicaragua is growing res- tive under the long delay of the U.S. govern ment in deciding what it intends to do in the matter. The strength of opposition to that project in this country comes from the Pana- ma railroad company. This corporation sue- ceeded in defeating the proposed canal during General Grant's administration, and is on the look out and ready to oppose any revival oi the subject. An attempt will be made at the next Session of Congress to interest that body in the work. If a failure follows, it will be dropped so far as this country is concerned, and the execution of the work be left to the European governments. ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS Doo LITTLE has returned from a trip to Mount Desert and the coast of Maine. He says tha the republicans of that state have no fear of an unfavorable result in the coming election. ‘The greenback-labor party there makes con siderable uproar, but does not amout to much. He says that there area good many people in Maine who love the greenbacks much, but fea the democrats more. And seeing that the effect of the new party isto help the democrat of the state. they show a tendency to rejoin the republicans. Many important desertions to the republicans have already taken place —_ the ranks of the greenback-nationa party. ZEAL UNREWARDED.—When the St. Mary's was visited by U.S. customs officers upon her arrival at New London, from Europe, and a large amount of dutiable goods, belonging to her officers seized, the customs service con- gratulated itself on ene good haul. The consequent newspaper talk aroused the zeal of the customs officers at Norfolk. Previously they had paid but little attention to U. S. ves- sels arriving at that port. Their zeal being at a red heat they determined to make af ex- ample of the next naval vessel that put in from foreign ports. The first arrival happened to be the Wyoming, from Paris. As soon as she Was towed inte port, and before she dropped anchor, the custom-house officers boarded her, confidently expecting that being fresh from Paris, the officers would have on board all manner of smaaei articles. They searched vessel through and through, but found nothing. Not content, they made another search. but With like results. Deeply disappointed they left. ‘The officers enjoyed the visit and its result hugely. One of them seeing how cha- grined the custom-house was over its failure, addressed a note to one of the officers who Searched the vessel, requesting him not to be discouraged, as he might be more successful next time. The Wyoming's officers had spent all their money by making trips into Europe while she was at Havre, and consequently they had nothing with which to purchase arti- cles to “smuggle.” CornaGE executed at the United States mints during August, 1875 oor rae. uarier Eagies Standard Dollar Pieces. 267,470 ) PERSONAL.—Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, arrived in this city this morning from Chica- g0. di by a returned from the eastern shore of egie nd, where he has been rusticating for the ee mooth....Miss Alice Hosmer, the young Washington cantatrice, is at home on a short vacation before entering on her winter en- jagements. ‘he family of Hon.R.

THE FISHERIES AWARD.—Although several weeks have passed since Secretary Evarts ad- dressed a letter (in accordance with the ex- pressed desire of Con; }) to the British gov ernment, setting forth the reasons why th five and a half million fishery award was ex. cessive. uo reply hasyet been received. It is hougat that the delay is owing to the thor- amination the British government 1s E tothe subject. A recent order of the treasury department to collectors of customs, ; directing them to obtain from the masters ot fishmg vessels arriving within their districts Fe oe showing the quantity and kind of fish taken by tiem within three miles from the shores of Canada, has for its object the ob- taining of official information to show to the British government, if needs be, the compar- atively small value of such fish as contrasted with the award.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury Hawley and the District Commissioners, as published in THE STAR at the time, has been gone over and slightly changed, at the instance of the Dis- trict Commissioners. It is so modified that the sum of $30,000 of the funds belonging to the District of Columbia in the U. S. Treasury prior to July Ist, 1878, shall not be covered into he Treasury; but may be drawn out for the purpose of the erection of the high-waier ser- yice, contracted for prior to June 11th, but the said amount of $30.00 shall be de- psited and covered into the Treasury prior to larch, 1879, out of the collection for water rates, and the said Commissioners shall then make requisition and render their account for the erection of the high- water service before mentioned, the same as for other expenditures of the District dur- ing the fiscal year 1879. The water fund, so-called of the District shall be received into the Treasury, and in every way treated as a separate fund, and to be drawn out and ex- pended without regard to estimates. The money collected from taxes erroneously paid or on account of the redemption of the tax receipts of the late corporation of Washing- ton, Pennsylvania avenue scrip, Pennsylvania avenue certificates, tax lien certificates, tax sale certificates, or any other like trust pur- poses, shall be drawn out of the Treasury and expended by the Commissioners for the pur- poses for which they were received without regard to estimates: and the Commissioners shall render the accounts for the same as for other expenditures of the government. This agreement has been approved by A. G. Porter, First Comptroller of the Treasury.

There I found myself amon, oa speakin: a strange tongue. The Dakotas, Ponkas an Omahas call them * Big Voices.’ Nearly all the men wear citizens’ clothing and many of them understand a little English. The agent, Howard White, was very kind. I had wot been there two hours when he came to see me, bringing bis interpreter, whom he instructed torender me all possible assistance. I managed to gain nearly eleven hundred words and phrases in four days, being indebted for many of them to two Winnebagoes, the one, Joseph Alexander, the acting postmaster and trader ; the other, Frank Meu, a {f-breed. All the families have had’ houses built forthem. Fifty of these have brick basements, the upper stories being frame. The Indians do not like that kind of a residence; so very few are inhabited. Instead, the upper stories are used as granaries, and the basements have been converted into stables, while the family occupy their tent, at a short distance from the house. The other houses are either frame or brick. Those of brick are two stories high, with a covered porch infront. These, I be- lieve, are the favorites. The Winnebago tents are made of poles covered with bark, rushes, grass, Sc. They differ in shape from those used by Omahas, Ponkas and Dakotas. The former are low and generally oblong; the lat- ter are high. According to the census roll there are over 1,350 Winnebagoes, while the Omahas are searcely 1,000, The Winnebagoes are celebrated for their knowledge of horse flesh, all being provided with good ponies, and on Sundays (!) white men frequently en- gage in horse races withthem. I regret to say hat the tribe is not celebrated for honesty. While they do not often steal from white men, they will now and then steal ponies from each other. Very often they take them from the Omahas, run them over into Dakota or Iowa, and_sell them to white men, and there is no way of reaching the offenders. The police receive but $5 per month, and they cannot afford to leave the reservation an pursue the thieves. Nor can the agent lend any assistance, for the department insists on ceonomy, and applications for a special fund for such cases have been refused. _TheOmaha agent isin a similar situation. He knows of Owaha ponies stolen, and cannot lift a hand to aid his people, This is very hard. True, there is the jail. But it is no punishment to be confined in such a building; for there are ae ally several prisoners together, and their riexds come to the window, or barred door, bringing food, changes of clothing, &c.,and at night the air resounds with singing and the notes of the Winnebago flute ; notes resembling those made by “young America’ on the tia horn ,that has become such a nuisance. In conversing with some persons who have been several years with the tribe I have heard them express a strong desire for regular Sunday services. Such services they maintain would be attended. The Indians again and again asked for them. They wish to pattern after the whites in this respect. Could these ser- vices be started and maintained my inform- ants are sure that a good effect woul perceived. One reason why horse stealing is so prevalent is plain. The older men have their dances on stated occasions, when they boast of their exploits, so many ponies stolen, &e., without their being caught in the act. Of course the young menu wish to do so as well as their elders; so by the next dance they try to steal at least one pony that they too may take pt in the dance, and acquire a reputation in ‘he tribe. While all the men are not Giese of this fault, no one can be induced to disclose the name of any whom he knows to be guilty. i feel very much interested in this tribe and wish that the way were open for such services asare desired. This ae is under the su- pervision of the Friends, who have contrib. uted liberally towards the maintainance of the industrial school, furnishing the clothing for the scholars, &c. The industrial school is a fine brick building four stories high, includ. inga basement. One wing is for boys, the other for girls. These children are of course boarded at the school, which has accommo- dation for 80 pupils. Several of the children can play upon the organ and sing in English. They dre taught the usual branches and _re- celve their first lessovs in farming, sewing, Se. There are also two day schools on the reservation. While all the schools are in ses- sion it is an easy matter to have a Sunday school; but during vacation the children are ashamed to come, as their good clothing is not available, iaving been stored away on shelves in the industrial school building until the re- assembling of the scholars. The farmer, Mr. E. C. Stanton, has been sev- eral years with the tribe, and although he tes- tifies that they are sharp at a bargain, and are prone to horse stealing, he himself has suffered no loss, although his barn is fre- quently open at night. ae evening of ee eal me podbed sei eral young Winnebagoes ing croquet wi the son and daughter of Mr Sianta . Such ‘mes should be encouraged, having a ten- lency to withdraw the rising generation from the love of their old heathenish games. In- dians, too, are very fond of music, and if you refuse to teach them hymns they will cling to their old songs. At the Winnebago schools singing is yet “in order.” During vacation this year the organ was taken up to the house of the agent. As soon as cool weather comes I may pay another visit to the Winnebagoes, as I am apxious to obtain further information con- Serming their strange language and customs. Many Winnebago nouns differ from the corre- sponding words in Omaha, Ponca and Dakota only in the final syllable (ma, la, ra, na or ga.) Omahas and Ponkas lay a stress, as a rule, on every other syllable. The Winnebagoes do not; hence their Janeane, is more difficult. From what Ihave seen of the Omahas, I can safely assert that the ‘peace policy’ has not been a failure, aud I earnestly wish that a sub-committee might be spon by the Congressional committee of conference to visit the Omahas before they decide to trans- fer the Indians to the War etna Many persons have been coming tose for them- selves.

Health Officer Townshend to-day arranged with the District Commissioners fora thorough cleaning of the alleys once per week instead of twice per month, as heretofore, and the labor. ers under the superintendent of rep irs of streets and alley, with the force employed by Mr. J. H. Fowler, contractor for cleaning and seeepin the alleys, will be instructed to seat- ter disinfectants liberally throughout the alleys which are subjected to overflow during heavy storms, embracing all alleys south of Pennsyl- vania avenue, and at other points where neces- sary. These disinfectants have been ordered by requisition, and will be used, periodically, during this and next month. The Health Oni: cer is considerably perplexed by the not very promising prospect of a prompt removal of garbage and offal ooneeaaen upon a change of contractors. Mr. McCauly’s contract goes into effect to-day, and up to i2 o'clock he had not reported for duty, and complaints, thick and fast, were coming in of the delay in re- moving dead animals—some thi having been reported as awaiting removal this morn- ing. The change of contractors for the re- moval of the night soil also takes place to-day, and up tothe hour named no notice from Mr. McCauly had been received that he was ready to proceed. Eighty-four tons is the average daily quantity to be removed, and there can be no delay permitted, at this season especi- ally. Itis probable that Mr. McCauly will ar- range with Mr. F. M. Draney, the former con- tractor, for the use of his works, tools, &c; also, for his depot, on the James creek canal, for shipment, until he prepares a suitable place of his own. Mr. John McCauley has reported that he has purchased a steamboat, the Potomac—a stern- wheeler—for the purpose of removal of the night soil, dead animals and other offal, and the Commissioners have directed him to make use of the same point for removal as was used by the last contractor, Mr. F. M. Drany. has been notified to vacate the premises.. M McCauly will erect new sheds and other ae- emo lations necessary to carry out his con. ract. A Boy ors EEN KILLs His MOTHER.—The Wellsville (N.Y.) Reporter, of August 29, says: “Hiram Pixley, aged about 16, shot and in stantly killed his mother at ‘her residence ‘ucker’s Corners, on the road to Belvi- dere. at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Pixley lost her husband during the war and she was left with this son, Hiram. She had a sister, who a few years ago married M. J. Bower, and they have lived in common at the Place abovenamed. The neighbors have wit- hessed many bloody fights between the two sisters, the meek man Bower and this boy Hiram now and then taking a hand in them. It appears that the women were engaged in one of their spasmodic fights and this boy got his shot gun and told his mother if she didn’t dry up he would shoot her, and after afew Words more he lifted the gun and shot her through the breast and she died instantly. He had threatened to shoot her many times, and it seems unnatural that any sympathy should be shown him. He has been known as an ungovernable, bad boy. We learn that he claims the killing to have been accidental, that atthe most he Simply intended to scare his mother into quiet. The means taken to juiet her seems to have been very effectual. fter the shooting he is said to have ex- pressed the greatest remorse and contrition lor his rash act.

A New York dispatch says the case of Mrs. Joseph Celle, reported to the health authori ties Saturday as suspicious, was decided to be one of genuine yellow fever. She lived in “nion court, a narrow lane in rear of 53 Uni- versity Place, and came to New York city with ber husband ten days ago from Memphis, Tenn., having stopped seventeen days at Cin- cinnati, Obio. She faye birth to a child on Monday last, and on Friday night yellowfever setin. She was promptly removed to quaran- tine, and ali houses in the alley were thor- ougly disinfected. She was unconscious when taken to quarantine, and her recovery is doubtful. Fever Items from the Late Southern Papers.

Some idea of the severity of the fever in New Orlean$ may be formted from this dispatch in the New York Times: “One square bound- ed by St. Charles, Euterpe, Carondelet, and Polyminia streets, contains 103 cases, of which 56 are in one block.” Now, this square is in the very heart of the most refined and aristo- cratic quarter of the city. FEMALE SCULLERS.—The announcement that a ladies’ rowing regatta was to take place on the Passaic river at South Rutherford, N. J., attracted quite a crowd of people to Riepe’s saloon on the banks of the river. The races were to commence at half-past one p. m., but somehow there appeared to be no manage- ment in the matter, and it was past three o’clock when the first race was started. This was for a gold watch and chain,one mile down the river and back. There were two entries, ‘Miss Tilly Riepe and Miss Annie Ebert, and they rowed in seventeen foot working boats. Miss Ebert took the lead and kept it as far as the turn,and then nearly capsized asshe pulled her boat around. The staying qualities of Bliss Riepe were then exhibited, as on the last mile she passed her antagonist and won ogee th lengths. No official time was taken on this race, but an outsider said it was 19: 45s.

The screams of the womer and children, who had hurriedly collected on deck, indicated the hopelessness of the situation in so far as were concerned, and it is morally certain that the lanterns ordinarily used by transatlantic steamships would have failed to penetrate the fog sufficiently to have made it possible to avoid a collision, and more than a hundred lives might have been lost.
