Sutherland got away and run to Stevens Point, where his wounds were
bound up. He says if any gentleman wants to take the job of reforming
Indians he will give up his situation. He meant well, but lacked
judgment.

An item in the La Crosse _Chronicle_ says: "Two cats and a dog were
killed at the high school yesterday for inspection by the class in
physiology."

In preparing the youth of the land for a business career there is
nothing that tends more to ripen the mind and to prepare it for
overcoming the obstacles that will naturally be found in after life than
to learn to cut a dog in two.

The ignorance of some of the business men of the present day is largely
to be attributed to the fact that the instructors of the youth in the
olden time never taught them how to carve a dog. How many times have we
been in positions since arriving at man's estate, when poring over some
great problem of science, where we would have given ten years of the
front end of our life if we knew how to make both ends meat, even if it
was dog meat?

The knowledge that the students of the present day obtain in their study
of the dog will be valuable to them if ever they are caught in a melon
patch, and a dog fastens his teeth into their garments. They will know
how to go to work scientifically to unhinge the jaws of a dog, instead
of pulling one way, while the dog pulls the other, until the cloth or
the skin tears out.

It will be a great thing to know all about how a dog is put together.
And if these students are taught how to kill cats they will more than
get their money back when they grow up.

Ignorant people who have never had the advantages of studying the cat
when it is dead, attempt to kill them with boot-jacks and empty ale
bottles and tomato cans, but the next generation will know how to do it
scientifically, and not hurt the cat.

This is certainly an age of improvement, and the _Sun_ desires that
school children shall know all about the anatomy of the festive dog and
the nocturnal cat, if they don't even know how to spell their own names.

BRAVERY OF MRS. GARFIELD

The newspaper correspondents about the White House, echoing the remarks
made by the doctors, are continually talking of Mrs. Garfield's bravery,
and we frequently see the statement made that she is "the bravest woman
in the world," and all that. While expressing great admiration for the
gifted lady, in the trying orde
