In tbovario.us discussions, pro and vtnn, concerning tho udvinability of educating Indian children at indus trial schools at a distance from thqir Home reservations a few. fuels seem to be generally overlooked. In the first pface every child sent to Car lisle or to Hampton is a hostagofor the good .behavior and non-combat-iyencss of a dozen able-bodied rela tives ; .and it has proved a fact which can nafc'He- disputed that the sending 'jf a nuiobejrol I children tt) eastern industrial schools is a virtual dis arming of the tribe, in the next pjlacc every educated Indian who returns to his reservation has an in ihicnce for good, which' is- not un derstood by eastern )eople, but is appreciated fully by those in con stant contact with the Indians. ID ven if 'one of these Indians returns to his former life he soon finds his former habits irksome and unnatur al to Item, and soon returns to the (Cwhitc man's road,'" cmicIi time with icnewid energy, until he finally sticks.-?. But probably the strongest ajgunuwit in favor of eastern schools is the "great disadvantage 4he teach ers at Agency schools labor under, on account of the evil influence on "tmnip life, from which it is nearly impossible to protect the scholars. if thoelhdians become dissatisfied from any cause, about their first move is to want to got their children fax a- gareat deal of 'annoyance and rwtfcvclie from their camp rclativos uaid:compaaaions, and are thus sub ject t6 -an influence not easily coun teracted iby their teachers. TIuls it will b'exseen that while, the nrajoritv cxflhe children must be educated :at hbiaic yet the influence of the ext ern, industrial schools is plainlr felt: .iu is-a power in tlie cause of edu cation;;. 11 well, contented and desirous to re main there. Half their time they devote to study, andjialf the time to work. They arc taught cooking and to keep their own rooms. They build wagons, which the department sends to the Indians, and tinware and harness which is used by thern. They make (heir own clothing, and show a remarkable aptitude for learning, ensidcring they, come from a wild state there.. 13oys who have been there two. years wonk at the blackboard computing interest.

Secretary Tellenwas to have gone, but missed th'e train. Congressman- Spalding, in relation to the trip, said : tkA e came back greatly satisfied as to the management of the school. We went there mor& esnpcaallv at the invitation of Cap-fa. IVait, .tlie sirncr iwlcndfcnt, to see wlmt had been done ami to learn what is promised for the future, and I think that if .the education of the Indian chifdifcn is carried out as eonlem platedCapt.. Pratt, it will solve the Indfan problem-. IT you once get them away from wild life and teach thbm what civilization means, while some of them go back to wild life, others go back' as teachers, blacksmiths and 'tinsmiths, and the result is the latter want their chil dren educated.

T-ho?e parti as who purchased horses of the herds and drove them to northern and eastern markets, have generally, made a good thing on their investment. The demand for ponies is greatly increased this spn'ng.by- reason of the Hoods in the I South causing a loss of such a vast amount of horses and mules, and.the demand for farm horses to supply this loss, that it has cleaned out all the surplus-stock in eastern Mo., Ills, and Indiana. The demand;is bound to be good all the season, and the Texas drover need not -fear a falling market at this point. FYom the CotuuttveIul. Maj. B. F.
