REGISTER Oa' THE ENDIAN SERVICE. Below will be found a register of the Indian service corrected to April 15, giving the names of Indian Agents, and toe number of each tribe of Indians at the different agencies. It will be observed that the population of Illty tribes is given in round numbers, from which it may be inferred that these Indians have not been count- ed, and that the number is only approximately correct.

Two of the agencies are iu charge of officers of the army, and two in temporary charge of special agents. The follewing agencies will be consolidated on July The Crow Creek limd Lower Azeucies in Dakota: the Pottawatomie in Kansas and the Great Nemaha in Nebraska; the Ponca, the Pawnee, and the Otoe in the Indian Territory: the Neith Bay and Quivalelt In Washington Territory, and the Nisqually, S'kokomish. and Tulatiro in Washington Territory.

A young man who has evidently trot one on his bands writes as follows concerning pugnoeed girls: Any girl la the wide world can have a snub nose without any trouble at all but not one girl in ten millions attains to the ravishing delectability of a dear little pug. There are inconsiderate, superficial observers- who aver that snubs and pugs are very much the same thmtt.

This is absurd. It would be as rational to assert the identity of one of Camoenie dainty shepherdesses. and a respectable but uninteresting colored washerwoman. The pug-nosed girl is a distinct type, and she knows it. Possessing a pug.

nose, she possesses certain privileges and immunities to which no other sort of nosed girl can lay claim. Occupying this peculiar and elevated position, she is at once fascinating and harrowing. With her nose, by right divine, goes a rosebud mouth that anybody can see at half a glance was made principally for kissing. Nobody ever dreams of kissing lips which have a long Roman nose sternly standing sentinel over them. But the pug-nosed girl's bps are not guarded at all; on the contrary, they are most temptingly accessible.

And when she smilesand she has a great ways of smiling, the dear her nose sympathizes with the, muscular movement anti tips iteell a little higher, it seems just like a formal invitation. That is the fascinating part of the performance. The harrowing part of it is when. encouraged by what seems to be so encouraging. you try to accept the invitationand find that she is not that sort of a pug-nosed girl at all! It is a dismat business, this, when the peg-nosed girl is put to the test of actual kissing and her rosebud mouth is proved to be but a delusion and a snare.

The little ray of hope that lu net the gloomy horizon under these melancboly ctrcumstances is that success can be compassed by trying again. For, while shots known alitoo well to be a mettlesome, unmanageable little body, there are facts recorded concerning the pug-nosed girl which proves that she is not persistently and irrevocably cruel. In a moment of contrition, herself sorrowing because of the sorrow which she has caused, she has been known to pucker her pretty bps as they ought to be puckered. axle so to yield them allies to the invitation extended by her angelic, unprotecting nose. Humanity is strengthened and staid in this eorrowing world by the fact that the pug-nosed girl lives in it- She may be, Indeed she is at times, rasping; but in the long run she is a source of exceeding cheer.

Light-minded. little-knowing folk may rail at her nose and affirm that no charm whatever appertains to its puggish But the wise are not swayed trom their wisdom by the patter of fools and those philosophers whose field of study in the world know that the pug-nosed girl is a delicious ethnolegic success." a '12. vs s-', .,44 -'-'1--. I WOULD KEEP YOU SO. Just a little baby lying in my arms, Would that I could keep you with your baby charms; Helpless, clinging fingers: downy, golden hair, Where the sunshine lingers, caught trom other-where; Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot speak.

Roly-poly shoulders, dimple in your cheek; Dainty little blossom, hi a world of wo; Thus I faia would keep you. for I love you so. Roguish little damsel, scarcely six years old, Feet that never weary. hair of deeper gold; Restless, busy angers, all the time as play: Tongue that never ceases talking all the day; Blue eyes learning wonders of the world about, Here you come to tell mewhat an eager about! Winsome little damsel, all the neighbors know: Thus i long to keep you, for I love you so. Sober little school-girl, with your strap of books.

And suet) grave Importance in your puzzled looks; Solving weary problems, pouring over sums, Yet with tooth or sponge-eake and for sugarplums; Reading books of romance in your bed at night, Waking up to study in the morning light; Anxious as to ribbons, deft to tie a bow, Full ot boutradieutons-1 would keep you so. Sweet and thoughtful maiden sitting by my side, All toe woHd's before you, and the world Is wide; Hearts are there for winning, hearts are there to break, Has your own, shy maiden, just begun to wake? Is that rose of dawniug glowing on your ebeek, Telling us in blusnes that you will not speak? by and tender maiden. I would fain forego Ali the golden future, just to keep you so. All the listening angels saw that sbe was fair, Ripe tor rare unfolding in the upper air; Now the rose of dawning turns to lily white, And the close shut eyelids veil the eyes from sight. All the past I summon as I kiss her brow Babe, and chilli, and maiden, all are with me now.

Ohl my heart is breaking: but God's love I know Safe among the angels. He will keep her so. Nft 0 York Herald. lAstirNOTON, D. April M.

Teller, having formally taken charge of the In-tenor Department, will find himself the noon-ewe possessor of two full sized and lively the Pension Office and the Indian Bureau. With Congreesional aid in tbe shape of a regiment of clerks be may be ble to manage the former, but the Indian a Jumbo will probably try to manage him. As the Secretary la a representative of that el, don of the 1.7nitea States where the wards po otthe NlitiOn" most abound, be is credited with i thorough knowledge of the 'tricks and man-hero" of the aborigines, but It Is not reported whether be is equally conversant with the peeuliaritiea of tne Indian Service. If he is not the following statement will interest him, and whether be Is or not it will doubtless iDiereat the readers of the Herald: Secretor Teller will find that sundry what: nations and tribes have claims against the United States amounting in the agrtiste to more than that the Indian Department has an accumuletion of deficiencies, the legacies of former administrations, 4601 will take more than 500.000 out of the Treasury; that the work of settling the accounts of India agents has been unduly delayed. and that.

in consequence of bungling legislation, a lumber of agents have been paid much smaller salaries than they are legally entitled to. and have, therefore, valid claims upon the Govern-meat for a large amount of arrearages. The most important of the Indian claims above ye. teia that of the Choctaw Nation, arising out of alleged non-fulfilment of treaty stipulations and the suspension of their annuities from It61 to 1..,466 while they were in active sympathy with the Southern Confederacy. On March 25, 1860, the Indian Office certified that the sum of was then due the Choctaws under a resolution of the Senate, adopted March '29, 1851 The Choctaws claim payment ot this sum.

with Interest. They also claim their suspended annuities with Interest; and $175,049 for lands appropriated by the 'United States in survey true and marking the western boundary line of Arkansas in violation of various treaty stipulations tlxiing said boundary Line. The Cnoetaws have several methods of calculating the amount due them. By one method it is 41568.LX10. by another 7,691,540, and 1 VIEW OF THE LAMGEH SPOTS.

The girl with the long bait has appeared again, or, more correctly speaking, the usual paragrapii as to her has begin to go the rounds of the press. She is, of course. young and beautiful, her hair is jet black and measures exactly live feet seven inched in length, so that it trails on the floor when she walks with her back hair down; it is perinaneutly attached to her bead, and she has never felt a moment's headache.

This same girtor paragraphappears every two years. The first recorded appearance was in a country town In 1842; and any one who consults the tie of a good daily newspaper will find her recurring every two years since that time. It should be noted that she has never once appeared in any city, but always in a remote rural village. and that she invariably asserts that she has never felt a moment's headache. Now, it must have struck many thoughtful persons that it is very odd that this girl, with her wealth of back hair, has never followed the example of bearded women, and put herself on profitable exhibition.

It is still more odd that no one bas ever seen this long-haired girl or ever personally known any one who has seen her. The evidence of her existence is strictly confined to newspaper paragraphs, and of direct personal or pictoral testimony to her existence there is no scrap. The conclusion which inevitably suggests itself to a man of cool judgment and scientific habit of thought is that no such girl exists or ever has existed. The back hair of woman is asserted. in all works on physiology and by all scientific men who have examined the subject, to be detachable.

In the free, untrammeled atmosphere of the West no woman thinks for a moment of pretending that her back hair is permanently attacned to her scalp. and in the hotels of Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati ladies ea retiring to their rooms for the nigbt invariably bang their hair on the outside knob of the door, so that it may be brushed and braided by the servant employed for that purpose.

April 8. In order to reassure the Irish-American sympathisers with the Land-League movement as to the effect of the Kilmainnam no-rent manifesto, a list of the landlords whose tenants have undertaken to pay no rent until the suspects are released has been prepared from Land-League sources for circulation among' the branches of the organization. The tirst returns have been issued, and it is officially claimed for them that they supply evidence that the agitation in Ireland is growing broader and deeper. and that the strike against paying reut until the suspects are released has lileconie general, and Is growing in intensity and earnestness." It is intended to supplement the no-rent roll with a list of evicoons, and it Is pointed out that, according to the returns prepared, on comparison with the Government returns as to outrage In Ireland, where, as evidenced by the refusals to pay rent, the Land-League policy is strongest and most generally obeyed the outrages are less Jo number, In proportion to the population. than elsewhere.

It ia just large enoturti to be discerned by a good eye without the alti of a magnifying-glase; a good opera-glass will sbow IL nicely. But, with or without magnifying power, the eye must be protected from the glare of the sunlight by a piece of glass eitber smoked or deeply colored. Vieesed with a hitt) magnifying power in the telescope. it is Peen to be composed of a congeries of spots floating in a nimbus or dare shade, hien contrasts stuirply with the other portions of the solar image. The length of the group yesterday morning was about miles; and the lertrest of the dark spots within it was nearly e.issi miles, or about three-lourtha the diameter of our earth.

This grout) yesterday morning was about one dity's Journey Isom the meridian line on the sun, towards the west. Today it will be nearly one-quarter of the apparent diameter distant from the edge. It is passing round towaras the weetern edge of the sun as seen from the earth, being carried around by the rotation of the sun on his axis, winch is performed in a little less than a mouth. But it is also obsofelne otherwisejust in what direeLion eacnot be said at this moment, though it is apparently breaking up into frhirmenut, preparatory to disappearance irom the Surface. As a rule, the shape ot a spot varies niumst from hour to hour: but while some of them only remain for a day or two, others msy continue for months; being visible for a couple of weeks, then occupying a fortnieht in passing-behind the sun, and reappearing on his eastern edge to make another transit of half a month in duration.

It is this almost half-and-belf division into phases of visibility and invisibility, on the port of the less impermanent, which furnishes direet proof that toe -spots" are phenomena of the solar surface, and not clouds or planets passing between us and the sun. If not actually on his surface, they would seem to be there less thou half the time between two suceessive reappearances on his eastern edge. Neither of the inferior planets can occupy more than a tew hours in transit, while it takes several months to clime round again into inferior conjuuctIon. The spot is a real Boone ValleyLieut. G.

There is a young editor wandering on the face of the earth who formerly publiahed a paper at Storm Lake, la. He left there the day atter the issue of big last paper. and is supposed to be crossing the State on foot to get away from an Infuriated female populace. It seems there was a concert given by young ladies of tile city, and the gallant young editor wrote it up in splendid shape. The same day be bad visited a herd of abort-born csttle, owned by a farmer in ute vicinity, and be wrote up the cattle also.

The cross-eyed foreman of the office got the two arMies mixed as follows: "The concert given last evening by sixteen of Storm Lake's most beautiful and interesting young ladies was highly appreciated. They were elegantly dressed and sang in a most charming manner, winning the plaudits of the entire audience, who pronounced them the 'finest short-horns in the county.

Who could it be? Mrs. Jones declared she would not open the door for the world, and begged Mr.

J. to arm himself with the umbrella-stand or the hat-rack, for it might be masked robbers, or something of that tort At which Mr. Jones pooh-poohed rather faintly and nervously, and marching valiantly to the door threw it wide open, and next fell back over Mrs. Jones, who had kept cautiously behind. Then the two reconnoitered the situation.

There was to human being in sight, but on the door-step there was some kind of a mysterious looking object. Mrs. Jones looked at it a moment, then she burst into tears. "It's a-a-covered basket. Oh! J-J-Jones, you wretch, how could you? and I-I-I trusted you so!" Mercy on me, Marla, what are you crying about? I don't know what it is! Maybe its an infernal machine to blow us up." gasped Jones.

"Oh. you know what it is well enough, Mr. Jones! Dont add falsehood to your other baseness. Oh. Jones, Jones! howhow c-could you deceive me and sne wiped away another llood of team "I'll throw the thing into the middle of next week." shouted Jones in a fury.

"I'll--" "stop, stop, wretched man!" cried his wife. grasping his coat tails. "Don't add murder to your other accompiishments; and to think have tr-tr-usted--" Maria," said Mr. Jones with the calmness of desperation "unhand me! I will find out what this means. That's our old market basket," he exclaimed suddenly, and the next moment be had dragged it into the hail.

Why, its our dinner for tomorrow. I forgot all about it. and left it at the butcher's, and he has sent it home then! I hope you're satisfied." "I never saw such a careless man in my life." said his wife. in a relieved voice. We might bare bad to go without our dinner, for all of you." Jones says it was the narrowest escape ever he bad.

A TIGER KILLS A LION. acter of back hair, but nevertheless no one entertains any delusion as to it. Cuvier and Button both speak of detachable back hair ati coresisting of one of the distinguishing characteristics of our species. Prof. Huxley, in his latest contribution to anthropology, says that on one occasion be examined the back hair of sixty-three giris who were employed in a Manchester mill, and found that every one of them bad taken oil her back hair on entering the milk and hung it up with tier bonnet and shawl, her objeet being to avoid the danger that her bats might become entangled with the macninery.

Ile furtber says ttnit-" there is not a single wellestahlished example of a woman with permanent back In the face of all tnese well-established facts and this weight of scientific Opinion. bow can we believe in the existence ot the biennial young woman with permanent back hair live teet Seven inches in length? In point of fact, the testimony as to her existence is nothing like as plausibie as the testimony In favor of the existence of the sea-serpent. Men who say that they nave seen the latter animal have themselves been seen and bandied by other men. but the men who say they have seen the girl with the long black hair cannot be identitied. The paragrapn describing the alleged girl Is always turtushed to the original newspaper in which it appears by an anonymous correspondent or one who writes under a feigned name.

For example, the most recent paragraph of this sort alleged that the name ot the long-haired girl was Miss Minnie Smith, of Lancaster, N. and was ostensibly written by T. S. Withers, of that place. Careful inquiry snows that there is no sucb place as Lancaster; that Mr.

T. S. Withers was never there in bis life, an that the oldest inhabitant never heard of Miss Minnie bmith. It is evident that the paragraphs concerning girls with live feet seven inches of black hair are totally false and are written for some mysterious purpose by some unknown forger. There is, however, a very Sill pie explanation of the matter.

It is a well-eatataished tact that din erent varieties of ardent spirits when drank to excess produce different sorts of visions. Thus. New England or Jamaica rum leads its victimsto see sea-serpentsthe New England variety differing from the Jamaica in the length of their alleged manes. Branny Invariably reveals vast quantities of snakes, and when adulterated with strychnine produces visions of swarms of insects. Our own native whisky conjures or visions of rats, and from the size and color of the rats the expert physician can tell whether the patient has been drinking rye-whisky or wheat-whisky.

Now, what is more Probable than that girls, with long black hair trailing on the around are the result of lodulgeace in that favorit tipple of the countryeiderbrandy or apple-jack? The victim of overindulgence in this deceitful beverage finally reaches the point where, to his oisordered vision, there presents herself an imaginary girl with long back hair. If he happens to be addicted to writing to or for the newspapers he instantly sits down and writes an account of bis vision. Before investigators can discover him he dies and is buried, and no one suspects bun of having palmed off upon an innocent newspaper a delirious dream as a valuable news Item. 1 1 1 CEP-SHAPED DEPRESSION in the aun's surface. This fact, first noted by' Wilson, of Glasgow, is best observed when the spot is near the edge of tbe.

The inctine is generally lesY dark in color than la the middle (bottom) of the spot, and it is always less bright than the exterior surface. The bottom of the cup appears black bat there is reason to bet tnis is the effect of contrast- it does not expose to our view part of a dark globe seen through a hole in a shining atmospnere, as was widely supposed up to a rather recent date.

'Whether or nut tbose storms, or rather the variations in the intensity of the storms always raging on the sun. are due to cbanges in the post uons and distances of the planets, is yet a mooted question. Science is, however. inclined to answer it in the negative. The contrary is the case with regard to the theory of solar intluence upon the earl tt and tbe other planets.

After many attempts to obtaia a satisfactory settlement, they have had their case referred to the Court of Claims by special authority of Congress, and it is now in course of adjudication.

A THREE-MILLION-DOLLAR CASE. The Cherokees, another of the civilized. Indian nations," have a claim for upward of eilatetlete, growing out of the cession of their lanes west of the ninety-sixth meridian, to be Used by the United States for the settlement of friendly Indiaus and to be paid tor by sucb friendly Indians as may be settled thereon. The lance were appraised and the price of 6,344,562 acres fixed at 47 49-100 cents per acre. The ern portion of the tract is much more valuable tban the western, part of the Inner being comparatively So far ail the friendly Indian who have been settled on the ceded lands the Osaiies.

Kaws, Pawnees, Ponces, Nez Perces. and Otoe and Missouriashave been located on the eastern or valuable section, and the Cherokees have received only the averse price of 47 0-100 yenta per acre. They object to have the moat valuable tracts taken at the price tixed for the whole, and now ask the United etates to pay for all um ceded lands at once. with interest to date of payment. They are willing to deal magnanipiously with the Government, as the following extract from their statement attests: It the United States is unable to pay for it all at present we ask that it pay principal and interest for what it wants and restore the remainder Louses it was before the treaty of 1666." Secretary Kirkwood does not appear to be favorably impressed by this liberal proposition.

He says: "I think that in this matter the Cherokees have some eau 4e to complain that they have not been falrle dealt with. I think aleo that their de-hand for present payment for all the land is not quite reaeonable and that their demand for the pavmeot ot interest is extravagant." The Creek Nation claims that the Government ewes their orphans in consequence of having invested part of the funds belonging to said orphans in state stocks that have become depreciated, and or bavine used some of the tunds without authority. This claim has been Pending for a dozen years or more, and is now in the haws of an attorney who is prosecuting it for a cantiugent tee. Several bills for the relief ot, the Creek orphans have been favorably repoeed by committees, and some of them have eve passed one House of Congress. only to be frozen to death in the other.

Fome future generation of orphans may poseibly reap the benefit of the present agitation of the matter. GRIEVANCE OF THE DELAWARES. Tne Delaware Indiansthere are only seventybine of themhave a little grievance of long standing. Their treaty of July 4.1666, stipulated that twenty-three sections of land were to be added to their new reservation in the Indian Territory. without cost.

in place of twenty-three seetions to which they were edtitled under their treaty of Iee, but never received, the United States keying set apart the land for other Indian. After vainly endeavoring to get this tatter settled, the Delawares a ehort time ago engaged an attorney to represent them before Congress, but the authorities of the Indian-Oflice said, You don't need an attorney. We can attend to this matter." To which one of the Delawares replied, "I have been trying for twelve years to get you to attend to it, but you have done nothing yet." The last phase of the case is that a bill has been introduced in the Rouse, and favorably reported upon by the Committee on Indian to pay the Delawares $14.720, out of which the Delawares will have to Pay their attorney for atteutung to the duties of the Indian-Office. In ail cases like the foregoing the Indians have to foot the bills of their attorneys. wbose I.P'S are necessarily contingent upon success.

The soundness of the policy which countenances contingent fee for the prosecution of any clijin againat the United States is very questionable. Where Indians are concerned it is tiPecially so. but it is nevertheless auctioned by law. as will be seen by referring to Secs. 2,103.

2,104, 2.105, and 2,106, Revised Statutes, whieb authorize the making of contracts with Indians, individually and collectively, for fixed, limited periods, the amount or rate per centum of the tee" to be stated in the contract, whin must be approved by the Secretary of La Interior and the Commissioner of In-den Affairs. While the acts of Congress upon Which the sections above specified are founded were no doubt intended to protect the Indians, they really serve to protect attorneys het es parties to level contracts, have now a Itanding before the departments which they did not before posses and draw their booty direct from the Treasury. During the last eight years the Osages have paid the Chickasaws Sleet), and the Miamis ele.00). all under contracts duly approved according to law, and all tor services that should have been rendered by their legal guardianthe Interior Department. in the abeeuoe of proof to the contrary it is richt to assume that the Commissioner of Intel Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior teehanzed their duty in the premises, and that Leer failure to obtain justice for the Indians "lei a mistortune rather than a fault.

In that ease the Obvious conclusion is, that a hired atta'rneY ho is working for a contingent fee can accomplish more than the bead of an important bureau backed by one of the constitutional ad-'Leers of the Presideut. DELAY IN SETTLING AGENTS' ACCOUNTS. The act of June 30, 1834 (Sec. 2JI, Revised Elate test directs that all persons charged with tee diebureement of money for the benefit of Indians shall settle their accounts annually at the Interior Department on Oct. 1, and that eoPles of the accounts shall be laid before Con-'trees at the commencement of the ensuing sesleen by the proper accounting officers.

How this law is carried out may be gathered from a Senate amendment to the Indian Appropriation bill, bow in Lommittee Of Conference. proviaing to enable the Commiseioner ot Indian At-fat i to employ temporary clerks etc" effect a Prompt settlement of the accounts of Indian which have been unduly delayed." That Part of the law which requires copies of the aceounts to be laid before Congress seems to have fallen into desuetude. One of the first official acts of the new Seem-tare will be to transmit to the Senate, in with a resolution adopted a tew days ago. a lat of all unDaid claims for services and supplies I ur the Indian Department. These claims are laid to amount in the aggregate to and Vines all the way from a few cents due to an Indian laborer several years since to thousanas ti.1 dollars claimed by beef.

Not less than 90 per cent of the women and 5 per cent of the men of this country wear more or less false hair.

Of course the greater proportion of these people are whitehaired people. A white head is often, though not always, a sign or a life of trouble.

Both were young, and, as their duties brought them frequently acquaintance thus formed grew into friendship and blossomed Into love.

The esodusters renresented nearly every Ppecies in the animal kingdom, from a poll-parrot to Bolivar, "King of the Mastodons." and It was their transfer from the winter quarters of Forepaugh's show to the Centennial siding of the Pennsylvania Road, from which the annual tour of the aggregation was last night begun, that occasioned all this commotion. An unlooked-for tragedy was enacted in the midst of the work of transfer. in the same den were kept two lions and two tigers, separated by a strong wooden partition. To such a pitch of ferocity was one of the tigers stirred by the ar-, rangements for removal that he threw himself In ayery frenzy of rage against the partition, pounced upon one of the and, before the keepers could lift an arm, timed his fangs deep in the throat Of his victim.
