When Mih. Broderick lied from her room who

ABOUT ASTRONOMY,
Xbe PralcMor In Hl* Glory,
ST. ijuadin ffcs.Vcir i'vrk Cravhif.
I flaw ntnl heart! film ns 1 was going homo tho
other evening. A big tclescopo wan pointing
heavenward from tho public Ripiora, ami ho
etuod besido it and ttioughtfully inquired t
"1h it possible, gmillotuoD, that you do not
caro to view the beautiful works of Nature above
iho earth ? Can it bo tmo that men of your in
tellectual appearnneo t,ill nordidly chug to 10
cents rather than takft a look through this tel
escope and bring the bc&dtics of hoavou withiu
\y. miles of your eyes?”
Tho appeal was too much for ono young man
to resist, Ho wan a tall young man with a long
face, high cheek-bones, and anxious look. Ho
looked at tho 10 cents and thou at tho tcloacopo.
hesitated for a single instant, and took his scat
on tho stool.
“ Hero is a young man who prefers to fonet
his soul with eoioutitio knowledge tatbor than
become a sordid. grasping, avaricious capitalist,”
remarked tbo astronomer, as ho arranged tbo iu-
Btrumcnt. “Fallback, you people who prefer
the paltry sum of 10 cents to a view of the gates
of paradise, and give this noble young man
plenty of room I"
Tbo noble young man removed Ida hat, placed
bis eye to tbo instrument, a doth was thrown
over bis head, and tbo astronomer continued :
•• Behold tbo bright star of Venus! A aighl of
this star is worth n thousand dollars to any man
who prefers education to money.” There was an
instant of deep tdlcuco, aud then tho young man
exclaimed:
“Uvgosii!”
I stood behind him and know that the tele
scope pointed at the fifth story of a building
ucruito the square, where a dance wan in prog
roMH.
“ All of them indulge in exclamations of Ad
miration ns they view the beauties ami mysteries
of nature,” remarked tbo astronomer. “ Young
man, tell tho crowd what you boo."
“I seo a feller hugging a girl I” was tho
prompt teply— “dunied if there Isn't a dozen of
thorn I”
“ And yet," continued tho astronomer. “ then)
are sordid wretches in this crowd who hang to
ID cents in preference to observing such sights as
these in ethereal space. Venus is mlllious of
miles away, and yet by moans of tills telescope,
and by paying 10 cents, this intellectual young
man is enabled to observe the inhabitants of
that far-off world hugging each other Just aa
naturally as they do in this 1”
Tho instrument was wheeled around to hear on
the tower of ongino-houso No. 7, flvo blocks
awav. aud tho astronomer continued :
11 Behold tho beauties and tho wonders of
Saturn I This star, to tho naked eye, appears no
larger than a silver half-dollar, and yot for tho
paltry sum of 10 cents this noble young man is
placed within ono milo of It!”
“ily Jorcußiilom and ooona!" murmured tho
young man as ho slapped his leg.
“Tell mo what you see, my friend.”
"I see two fellows in a small room, smoking
cigaro and playing euchre 1” was tho prompt
replv.
“Raturn is 80.000,000 of miles from tills town,”
continued tho astronomer, “ami vet the insig
nificant sum of 10 cents has enabled this pro
gressive young man to loam for himself that the
celestial beings enjoy themselves pretty much as
wo do in this world. 1 venture to say that them
is not a man in this crowd who over know beforo
that tho inhabitants of Raturn know anything
about oucliro or bod cigar factories.”
Tho instrument waa changed again, and as tho
interest of tho crowd increased, and tho people
began to press nearer, tho Professor said:
“ Now behold tho piauot Mars, tho second
largest planet in tho heavens. It Is 75,401,1351
miles from hero, and appears to tbo naked eye
to bo nothing mors than a bright star, and yet
lot this young man toll you what ho sees."
Half a railo up tbo street In tho top story of a
big building was an evening school. Tbo tele
scope got tlio range of ono of tho windows, and
tho young man almost leaned from the stool as
ho shouted. “ Hokoy to alligators I ”
“ It has been assorted by collogo astronomers
that tho planet of Man is not inhabited,” re
marked the Professor ia quiet, cutting tones.
“ Romo of thorn, puffed up with thoir arrogance,
have called mo a swindler, and have abused this
instrument, which was constructed for mo by
order of tbo tato Emperor Napoleon at a cost of
£75,000, but let this observing young man toll
you what ho sees.”
“Whetstones and whlCQetroos ! ” exclaimed
tho yomiK man.
“Tell them—tell them, my young friend, what
you hoc," urged tho astronomer.
"There's a feller flitting on a bench beside a
girl. I saw him pinch lier oar, ami eho hit him
with a booh, barn my buttons, but she's all*
tired party." , , it
“ (ientlemen, I am no blow-hard,” said the
Professor in husky tones? “I do not want to way
what this telescope can do. You have the word
of one of your follow-townsmen, and I do not
believe that any of you will dispute him. I have
boon called a swindler, gentlemen, because 1 go
around the country tearing away from astronomy
the veil of mystery with which so-callod Pro
fessors, drawing heavy salaries, seek to cover it.
For the ridiculous sum of It) cents I am giving
the pulilio more astronomical knowledge in half
an hour than any oollego Professor oan give you
in six mouths. A demonstrate Ip you that the
Ctanet of Mars is not only inhabited by human
oings, but by beautiful girls with rod hair, and
by stylish young men wearing the best kind of
store^lothos.
Once mure ho wheeled the Instrument around.
This time it got the range of the upper storv of
a tenement-house on the hit). The young man
Had scarcely taken a glanoo through the tube
when he yelled out i
" (boat guns ! Put what planet is this?"
You are now looking at Uranus," replied the
Professor. " Uranus is 1)7,603,304 miles distant
from tbo earth, and yet I warrant that it doesn't
appear over W rods away to you. Will you ho
hind enough, my friend, to tell this crowd what
you soo 'i "
Give it to him I Whack him back I Go in,
old woman 1 11 shouted tho young man, slapping
one leg and then the other.
" Kpcak up, roy friend. What do you «ee?"
'• That’s it I Got him by the hair now 1 I'll
bet fifty to one that she'll lick 1"
•• Won't you to kind enough, my friend, to
allay the curiosity of your friends ? "
"Whoopi that's Its now she's got him:
purtioat family tight I ever saw 1* V cried tho
young man as be moved back aud clapped his
Lands.
Tbe l'rofo«Hor covered up (ho loitrurooi
•lowly and carefully, pinked up and unlocked a
eutchul which had boon lying uoar hie feet, and
thou euttly said:
•I" Gentlemen, wo wllipauso hero for a moment.
When a man lullu you alter this that the plauot

And yet I have every reason to believe that
the i’rofeasor was earned, honest, and sinueru.

Ah to tbo Grangers, they urn such a stupid, one-tdoa

iluuU they can—try. It Is qulto certain that we Bboll
not permit them to be their own politicians. Through
our pvoplo who have worked Into their organization
wo ought easily to control them. In any event wo
must hatter and conciliate tlioin, as Qov. Coko and

By authority of an act of Congress paused at
its last session,
THE COJtSOUDVTEn AOKNCT
of tbo ChorokocH, Creeks, Choctaws, Chloka
saws, and Sominolos, was located during tho
present week. It is tho intention of tho Gov
eminent to expend about 610,000 for tho erec
tion of nullable buildings for tho Agont (which
aro now under contract), in pursuance of tho
treaty of 1900 with tho Crooks. A model farm
of CIO acres will bo attached thereto, and put
under fence, broken, and improved, to
demonstrate to tho Indians tbo principles
of modern and correct farming. Tho silo
selected for tho buildings has boon Anally deter
mined on, and is about 3 miles from this point,
ou Prospect Uill,—almost a mountain,—well
studded with timber, surrounded by high ranges
of bills, interspersed with prairie and woodlands,
and commanding a vlow of & broad expanse of
country. Tho location is healthful; tho lauds
aro fertilo ; excellent springs of pore and sweet
water aro abundhut; and, in fact, a raoro
beautiful and convenient point cannot bo found
in tho Territory. It is tho oxproasod purpose of
tho enterprising citizens of Muskocco to erect at
onco, at their own expense, a suitable ofllco in
town for tho transaction of tbo business of tbo
Agency and tbo convenience of tho Agont, who
stands, deservedly high with them as well as
others.

passed at tho session of tho Grand Couuoil at

the fair at this place, that tho timo of
commoucomont should bo the 14th of September,
and its duration four days. It is designed to
mako it tho finest exhibition over held among
tho Indians. It will attract the attention of tho
whole country, and will undoubtedly bo an in
teresting as well as in some respects a curious
spectacle. Tho Society’s Becrotory, Joshua {loss,
Lsq., informed me that tho live civilised tribes
will mako a fine display of blooded horses,
; ponlos, oxen, steers, cows, sheep, hogs, turkeys,
chickens, etc., ami also agricultural implements,
farm and garden products, cotton, etc.' There
will ho a floral department, iu charge of tho
ladies (while end Indian), and an exhibition
of eomo of tho choicest flowers from
Flora's domain may be confidently
looked for. Tboro will bo premiums
offered for blooded horses and tho host speci

harness, plows, saddles, boots and shoos, choirs,
brooms, cotton iu bale, flour iu sack, corn-meal,
wheat, corn, oats, garden-seods, fruits (Includ

As stated in a former totter, giving on account
of tho Oram) Council's proceedings, there wore
represented at that Council twooty-uluo tribes,
among whom wore tho Kiowa, Comancho, Chey

Grand Counoil, its nature and purpoao were fully
explained to all tho representatives of
THE WILD TlilllEH
(oa well as to the others), and tholr wllllngnoßa to
attend whou it should ho opeuod was mado man
ifest. Bv special invitation, UaJ. Ingalls, of
this Agency, attended tho mooting of the Board
of Directors of this Society, hold yesterday, and.
gave utterance to tho conviction that tbo attend
ance of tho wild tribes would result lu groat
good to them, and suggested that now and
special invitations be sent to suoh of tho
wild tribes as could be induced to at
tend. As an evidence of that officer'a
thorough earnestness, ho personally of
fered, through the Directors, a premium
Of 929 to the wild tribe which would exhibit the
largest aud best collection of articles of their
own manufacture. Aud lot me say, right here,
that tho Board of Directors oro especially de
sirous of paying a premium for auy meritorious
piece of work executed by a ty em^or or members
of auy wild tribe that maybe sent ur brought to

will make on effort to secure' a collection of In

CniOAao. July 21.—Tho Hecrotary of tho
Treasury, In his report of Dec. 7, 1874, and cov
ering the llacal year ending Juno HO. IS7I, states
Hint tho receipts from customs for Hint period
were, in round numbers. $163,000,000 \ ami that
payments for interest on ilio public debt for tho
same time worn .*107,000,003, —makiiigssC l o()(),o(H)
more coin received than waa uocoaaary to moot
tho interest.
Tho same report states that mors Or less of
this surplus of gold-rocoiptfl over intorost-obll
gnliotis having noon Hold from time to time,
there was received Into the Treasury, a*
“premium on halos of coin," tho stun of
$5,037,(105.23 for tho same period of time, end
ing Juno 30, 1874.
This report also shows that our exports of
coin and bullion for tho same fiscal year wore
$06,030,405, whilo oar imports wore $28,451,900,
—making tho excess of exports over imports for
that time $38,175,409 of coin and bullion.
Tho premium on gold shows its price In the
market, and tho price Is based an tho demand
for It. Tho demand is of two classes,—that
arising from speculation, and that from tho
legitimate ••requirements of • business. The
speculative demand is, in fact, based mostly on
the business-demand i so much so, indeed, that,
hut for tho business-demand, there would bo very
little speculative demand for gold; anil, there
fore, to the extent we reduce tho obo to that, or
a greater extent, we reduce that founded on it.
Tho business-demand for gold, as shown by
tho report of the Secretary of tho Treasury, as
above, was:
For Import duties $143,000,000
ForeviTM of coin anti bullion exportsover
Imports (or for balance of foreign trade),
In round umulwra .15,000,000
Unking ibo total business-demand for gold
to bo I
Now, tho question to oak ourselves is this:
Can wo reduce tbla business-demand for gold at
all? If wo can do tills, then wo can reduce tlio
premium on gold; otherwise wo cannot reduce
this premium.
The second Item of $59,000,030 can bo effected
only by an improvement in uur foreign trade.
If wo Import less of foreign poods, or export
more relatively of our own products, except
bullion, thou, of course, ibis gold-balance will
bo lees; but, as such improvement can come
ouly from a prolltabto mid healthy activity in
our national imlustrlos, wo will dismiss this item
from ouroouflidorallou for the present.
Of tho other item of $165,000,000, it is ap
parent that $50,000,000, or so much thereof as
was sold to produce tho abovo “premium on
sales of coin, ’* was collected unnecessarily,—
and, we may add, wrongfully and unwisely.
It is certainly wrong to compel Importers to
go into tho market and purchase $50,000,000 of
gold, simply chat it may bo put into tho National
Treasury, and tbonco to bo aold by the Govern
ment upon tho market, and perhaps to tho same
parties from whom tho importers had pur
chased it.
It is equally unwlso to forco a collection of
gold beyond tho amount needed to pay tho inter
est ou tho public debt. It makes au increased
demand for gold to this extent, and increases or
sustains tho premium ou gold. Thou tho sur
plus gold thus unwisely accumulated must bo
sold,—putting tho Government in tho foolish
ami discreditable position of decrying the value
of its ovra paper. To soil this surplus gold,
tho Secretary of tho Treasury virtually
ml» it up at auction. The gold is not criedorol
y from “tho block” by our aucUou-Troasuror;
but. with deceptive dignity, ho advertises for
written bids,—tho purport of his advertisements
being, that whoever will pay in United Btates
notes the highest premium for thu gold shall
have It; and, though apj*cariiiK to sell gold at a
iromlum, tho Treasury is, iu fact, buying United
jutes notes at a discount. * Tho oflur really is
to buy tho obligations of tho Uovoromeut from
such holders thereof as will sell thorn at tho
greatest “shave”; and this surplus gold, soused
u buying United Btates notes, produced dis
counts, mode in this shameful way, amounting to
the above sum of $9,(JJ7,0Ufi.22, and which tho
Secretary calls very erroneously “premium on
sales of coin/' In plain words, this last sum is
tho price, to a cent, that the American people to
oolvud, far tho year ending t|io UOtb of June,
ISf-l, on account of tho prostitution of tholr na
tional credit! ,
It Boema ptain (hat this $56,000,000 might bet
tor have been received at unco from tbs import
ers lu United BtnUs notes; and it appears con
clusively that, tlum far in this examination, only
two-thirds to throo-fourths of our import-dutius
need to ho paid iu gala in order to be suro of a
sufficient sum to pay the interest on tho public
debt.
And now. taking tho 150,000,000 from tho
SICa,UOO,OOU. vro have $107,000,000 that must bo*
Sold in gold, or tin equivalent, upon custom-
Utios, to provide for tho payment of interest.
But, if anything can ho used that, for this pur
pose, is os good tvs gold, then, of coarse, wo
need not collect tho gold. Tho uso to be mado
of tho gold is to ,pay interest-coupons. Thou
lot us receive thnso interest-coupons them
selves, instead of gold, on cuutom'dutiosiand wo
willhavo something oven better thou gold for
this purpose. We now accumulatomilUousof gold,
and it lies idle in the Treasury, awaiting tho
maturity of tho interest-coupons, and making a
loss of six to uiuo months In interest on tho
sums thus hold. Bcoolvo tho coupons. at their
face, on custom-dados, six to nine mouths before
Uitir maturity, and thu loss of interest ou thorn,
arlstug from propaymuut, would equal only that
now mado on tho gold held to pay them when
duo.
Tholr use for customS'dutios would bo bettor
than gold, because the credit of the Government
would bo strengthened by tho payment of Us in
terest before maturity; and because of its ef
fect, also, iu lowering tho premium ou gold*
The loss of interest ou tho gold held for
months iu the Treasury for interest-payments Is
absolute: but the loss arising from the prepay
ment of coupous may bo ssidio be only nom
inal, since the , beneficial effect of
such prepayments upon our national credit,
and consequently ou tho general business of tho
ouuulry. Is a valuable consideration equal to, if
not greater than, the nowhml loss.
It seems evident, thou, that thu entire onstoma
may he safely aud advantageously collected in
United Btates notes and lutoroai-coupdua, in the
proportion of about one-third of the former to
Uo-ihhd* of tbs Utter t but. to provide a mod
erate stock of gold for auy contingent demands,
aud, in particular, 'or the payment of the probv
hly small amount of coupons that might not be
presented before maturity in payment of cus
toms, and which must ho paid iu gold at the
Treasury when due. it may bo well to oolleet Im
port-duties ip the proportion of about one-fourth
go[d, out'-fourth United Btates notes, and two
fourths Jotoroal-ooupous.
. Then, estimating also the excess of exports of
coin and bullion over Imports pf tho same, the
huiluesiHlsmand for gold would etaud as fol
lows :
Oiutuma paid with loleroit-c0up0a5,......1 83,000.000

Hid. of these *201,000,000, only *78,000,000
are lu gold, while *123.000,000 are in coupon;
and notes,—thus making the demand for gold
ouly about two-llfiho of what tt Is now. aloes
the coupons and notes (shown to bo, to the eg*
tent proposed, bolter than gold for these pay
ments) luoel the demand for tho remaining
Ibroo-nftbo. ~ . ,
Tbia business-demand for gold may also be
designated as a merchandise-demand; for gold
la now boaght and sold mainly as merchandise.
Now, out oil threo-filtha of this merchandise,
demand for gold, and Is it uot certain that
three-tilths of the premium ou gold would fall
away I 1 lu foot, the fall lu the premium would
be wore than three-fifths. '
Cut off three-fifth* of the demand for iron,
wheat, or cloth, and would nut these articles of
merchandise fall In piles early and largely? The
depredation would bo indeed greater proper-
tionally than the deerraso In Dio demand, te
raiment the foara of tno ownera of mirh prop
erly thaf. If they should continue to holt! it,
their iosaoa would ho alill greater. Tho hujorn
of iron, wheat. and cloth, would rtectoaKo. and
Iho eniiorn would Increann In tmnthnr ; and Hio
l>rloe« of these article* wonldoomedoriu rapidly,
and In n proportion greater than tho decrease of
natural demand
Ho
It would bo with gold. The men holding
gold would eeok to sell, knowing that tho
premium moot como down; nnd buyers'
of . gold would defer their pur
chases, hoping lo obtain it nt a Iren
premium. In short, tho universal mid Inoxo ra
il® " law of supplv and demand as uniform in
ltd operations, and an rertatn In Its results, an tho
law of terrestrial gravitation—would affect gold
an it does all othnr property ; and thus tho gold
premium would decrease beyond tho proportion
al docmw of tho demand for gold | bo that the
probable and almost certain result would Le,
that United Slates notes would advance tnoro
than thrse-Afths of tho way towarda par, and
perhaps, from this aiding cause, como very soar
lo that point.
I would now revert to the excess of exports
over Imports of “coin and bullion," shown to
have been ♦n9,178,4W for the time stated, and
which I have treated as a business-demand af
fecting the pohl-promitim s and would suggest
that the “ com " part of lids excess is realty on
ly “bullion," since all coin in so regarded in
the settlement of balanoos between nation*:
and, further, that this entire "excess," while it
la “bullion." la also purely merchandise. In tills
light, it is a product of our labor, ami wo have
simply exported a surplus of our mine-products,
rather than agricultural or other products.
Our stock of gold and silver has not boon
diminished, hut it has Increased notwithstanding
the exportation.
On tills point, I would submit the following
from the report of tho Ulrcclor of the Mint,
dated Oet. Id, 1874, and for the fiscal your ond

Id reference to this quotation, I would say,
lot it not bo fogottou that, though wo export
more M coin and bullion *' than wo import,' Btlll
wo produce the precious motsls so largely that
our stock of epcoio is constantly Increasing. If
our people should properly appreciate this fact,
It would create a contldonco that would certainly
aid greatly in reducing the premium on gold.
Hut the important (Iffug to do is to receive

Uuitcd Htatcs notes, on customs-duties, to iho
extent thatis s&fo and profitable, whatoror that
extent may bo. I think that the extent indicat

confident that a law authorizing duties to ho so

decline iu the gold-premium, and that it opera

I’robably no life of tbo present century, if

honors and adversities, and now, at the ripe old

of Interest in his rouanio career by scouring an
interview. Owing to a mutual fooling of dislike
existing between Santa Anna and the Mexican
poouio, the former holds himself, iu great re
serve. Ilia rooms are open to but a low, and.it
is no easy matter to gain an audience. Toward
foreigners ho is not so surly, und It is generally
much easier for a stranger to gain his private
parlors than for t, native citizen. . . .
Wo hardly bad lime to coat a hasty glance
about us before aside door opened and Santa
Anna himself stopped into tho roam. Ills
private Bocrotary, col. Noso. presented us, and,
after shaking hands and making a few common
place remarks to each one of us, ho motioned
toward the chairs, and we all moved over and
sat down. My surprise at tho appearance of tho
old General was shared by my companion. In
stead of tho gray-halrod old man that wo bad
expected to see, au upright, soldierly figure
stood before us. Uis form was not yet bowed
down by tho weight of years, and his cool, black,
flashing eyes told that the ilros of early life wore
not yet all spent. luurodibki as it may sooui.
Hants Anna’s hair Uao not yet turned gray, md
his 'face has a klmlly, hopeful expression,
strangely at variance with the wide-spread ideas
of his character. Ho wears no board of any
kind, and is os smooth-faced as a woman. In
talking lie is muck troubled by a bad-fitting
sot of fatso tooth, which. fall - from tho
palate, aud ho is slightly cldaf. It was in mov
ing across tbo room and seating himself on the
sofa, however, that the infirmities of his ago
showed themselves most conspicuous. Ills false
leg troubled him. and 1 thought ho showed a
disposition to hide it, for after seating himself
very carefully, ho throw it out directly before
him agd covered it with the left. Ho sat up
right, nor did ho loon back or change bis posi
tion the whole hour that we woro with aim.
Hants Anna is sUm hulU, about 5 feet-10 in
height, and ia his younger days must have boon
a handsome man—as noli at present a fine
looking old gentleman, lie is talkative and
social—loves to recount his own exploits, and
seams to live at present altogether in tbo past,
lie knows that the future holds nothing for him,
consequently he takes very Utile interest in tho
passing events of the day. Ho did not even know
the name of the President of the United States,
and asked several fittle questions about our af
fairs that ulrabst any school-boy would bo capa
ble of answering. After some general inquiries
about bis health, the effect of tlfb recent rains
on his disease (ho in.troubled with catarrh), and
his projects for owning tho summer, something
was said that loaulm on on the very track wo had I
boouhoping for. vis., himself andhlsownexpluits. I
As bo found himself drifting off thirty, forty, I
and even fifty years Into the past, his old form
straightened up, his eyes shone like those of u
boy, and bo seemed to be Hnng It all over again.
In uoeorlbibg the events of half a century ago.
we were astonished to note the accuracy with
which he gave tho minutest particulars. Every
date and incident seemed to ho as fresh In his
memory as though it were ap event of the day
before.
He gave us an account of the early Repub
lican movement In Mexico \ spoke of his part in
the war with Hpsin, when the ignorant people
were crying out for * Republic without having
any idea of whet lha word meant. "I did not
know what a itepubUo was myself," ho said,
»* but the more 1 tried to reason wiUi the people,
the louder they vied 'Viva la Republics I’ so
ve all went off W search of one."
Ho gave on account of the overthrow of I(ur
bide and his unhappy death, aud told some little
incidents of personal interview* which ho him*
self bad had with the unfortunate young Em
peror. He spoke of Vera Crux, ana described
some horrible sepoes which ho had witnessed
there when thV terrible vomit? was raging and
the streets aud plazas were filled .with
dead men. 1 was in hopes that he
would say something of Texas or the
Mexican war, but the old diplomat steered
clear of such doubtful contributors to his fame
aud only alluded equally to the United tytates.
He spoke of the time when be was the guest of
Andrew Jackson M tbq White House, snd the
old fellow laughed as he'recalled some tittle em
barrassments in which his Inability to speak
English had placed- him. For over an hour the
old man ran ou from topic to topic with scarcely
an Interruption, and thou it grew so dark iu the
room (hat we oould scarcely see his face, and wo
rose to go. Ho absorbed bad 1 become in my
unusual surroundings, with the shadows creep
ing over the roum and the old man silting there
like the spirit of a long-lost ago that the move
ment to go almost startled mo. It was with a
feeling approaching to reverence that I took the
