It is the totention to take one hundred of the youths from the more savage tribes, the Sioux and Arrapahoes, and educate them in civilized arts at Carlisle Bar- racks, Pa. When they are suffictently educated to bave become familiar with the ethics of civ- iijzation they are to be returned to their tribes and their places are to be filled with one hun- dred more of the younger red generation. The theory upon which the government pursues this course is that those who are educated will have a direct influence in civilizing those to whom they will return and learn them the arts, selences and agricultural pursults.

Harman Oelrichs, of New ‘ork, Was referee. The start was made at 3 a.m., Off Kaston’s Beach, amid the cheers of there assembled on the boats. The buoys around which the men swam in mile courses were placed as follows:—First, near the west side of the beach, almost directly oppostie the Chandler villa; Second, nearly opposite the forty steps at the foot of Narraganseit avenue. Thus the swimming was in plain view of the great crowds assembled on the beach and along the cliffs, Capt. Webb wore bathing tights and a firm-titting blue cap. Capt. Boyton was dressed in his familar rubber suit. The swim- mers kept at work steadily up to half-past 10 ocleck, when a catastrophe occurred which practically ended the race. Boyton had made teu miles and Webb eight and a quarter, when the latter was seized with violent cramps, ren- dering both legs powerless. He was taken from the water by his trainer and put on board the yacht Active, where he was properly cared for, and thence brought to the city. Capt. Webb's trainer attributes the attack to the fact, of his not being acclimated. When Webb suc- cumbed the men had been in the water seven hours, and the strong breeze which had been blowing from the southwest made swimming against the wind both slow and difficult. At six o'clock Boyton had made 19 miles, and was looking somewhat tired from the labor of the day. At 7 o'clock be had made his twentieth mnie, and was feeling bis way along slowly.

Horace Greeley once wrote from Leavenworth to the Tribune that Kansas would eventually become the fourth state in the unton—assign- ing her precedence over all but New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is a tact that the wheat product of Kansas, from the report for the last year, just made, already exceeds that of Obio, the number of bushels produced by Onto in 1878 being 27,000,000 and the number for Kan- sas being 32,000,000, Ohio was also led in the matter of corn, and Kansas became the heaviest grain-producing State in the country. The Value of farm preducts for last year was at the rate of $100 for every man, woman and child in the state. The immigrants at this time strike for Middle and Western Kansas, the advance line of settlements being 300 mites west of the Missouri river, What was a few years ago deemed unproductive soil is now paying, though the limestone areas are undoubtedly the most sought for. It will surprise many to learn that there recently arrived at Salina, Kansas, @ 1a number of immigrants from the fertile valiey of the Shenandoah, though the Salina people themselves were not at all surprised. Gov. St. John’sefforts in behalf of the colored people have not, however, been crowned with success, and many of them are yet at Topeka waiting to be employed or for something to turn up. - Prous CHIcaGO.—Good people in Chicago pro- to steal a march on the rogues by having inday on some other day, and not letting the Sabbath breakers know when It Is. ‘MR.

JEsvIT CHANGES.—An important change has just been made in the government of the Jesuit order in this country. Until recently the Jesuits of Maryland have been under the mission of New York and Canada, forming one body.

The new province of New York has been formed to include the missionsof Maryland, Philadelphia, Washington, ton, New York and Jersey City. Very Rev. Robert W.

THE CURIOUS QYIDENCE THAT MAY WORRY THE DEFENCE. A telegram to the New York Sun from New Haven, August 21, says:—The Rev. Mr. Hayden must in all probability submit to another delay in his trial on charge of murdering Mary Stan- nard. This time tt is not because ing officer has been elected U. 8. Senator, nor because another prosecuting officer has taken a trip to Europe, which were the reasons urged for two tponements, but it is because the chief justice cannot preside at the trial that was set down to be begun on the 9th of September next. Thus Mr. Hayden will have lain in jail more than @ year, There is some rather c in- clusive evidence that the medical men who have almost consumed, boiled, and cut to pieces with their knives and chemicals the of Mary Stannard, have discovered with the microscope . nor speck that may be very damaging to fayden. Prof. White has had Mr. Hayden's knife blade under his microscope, aud has examined every speck thereon. “What did you find on it?” Judge Harrison ae nies at the preliminary examination, “Blood.” “« What kind of blocd?"” “Human blood.” And the Rev. aud innocently earnest at the Professor while this testimony was given as the student does to the Professor in college at the climax of an ex- eriment Jn natural philosophy. He afterward old, and his wife told, how the blood got there. “Just as,” Mr. Jones satd, ‘blood gets on the enknife at times of all of us.” Mr. Hayden had cut his finger. Now, Prof. White was obliged to admit that science had not yet gotso far as to be able to distinguish Mary Stan- nard’s blood from the Rev. Mr. Haydea’s, so the blood specks on the knife went for naught with the justice, and he discharged Mr. Hayden. science did not let go of the case. The mi But icro- ecope, chemicals, measurements, keen eyes, hours of patient work on a speck that a breath would blow away, have, it is now sald, made a discovery. The muscles, the flesh of Mary Stannard’s neck near the stab that killed her, have been resolved to their orig.nal gases and elements, to discover any foreign matter such as a speck of steel. When that whtch had been Mary Stannard’s neck became vapor under the chemist’s manipulation, then the micro- scope was put upon the clean white paper that would catch any foreign substance and hold it. To the naked eye there appeared on the paper nothing more than a speck like dust that a whiff of wind might have blown there. But upon it the microtcopist placed a glass that couid make one hair seem the size of arope, and then the speck resolved itseif into a rusty little piece of steel with clearly defined form. It must bayecome from the blade of the kpife that killed Mary Stannard. Now the giuss is run along the blade of the Rev. Mr. Hayden's knife, on which Prof. White found blood. There are one or two little nicks easily a defect 1s discovered; it seems as tous the little speck on the white paper, if applied to this detect, would just fit it, and by the most delicate manipulation the fitting i3 successfully done, and the prosecuting officers are informed that the savants have vered speck of iron that dropped from the fleshy parts around the wound that just fitsa nick in he blade of the Rev. Mr. Hayden’s knife. Such 4s the story that, somewhat indefinitely, but ‘with sufficient detail to make it worthy the at- tention of the Rev. Mr. Hayden's counsel, is reported ig mein | the result of the scientific men’s work iscovering evidence, Wall Street To-day: New York, August 23.—The Post’s financial article says:—The Wall street markets have n dull, excepting that for stocks, the fluctu- ations in which have been quite important in some instances.
