Captain Jack said he was "tired of eating horse-meat." But if you are a guardian, and have a ward, you are not satisfied if your ward, presumedly an ignorant person in a state of pupilage, merely has enough to eat and to wear.

Well, the Indian camp at Round Valley is in a deplorable state of disorder.

No attempt is made to teach our wards to be clean or orderly, or to form in them those habits which might elevate, at least, their children.

The plain around the shanties is full of litter, and overgrown with dog-fennel.

As Mr.Burchard, the superintendent, walked about with me, half-grown boys sat on the grass, and even on the school-house steps, gambling with cards for tobacco, and they had not been taught manners enough to rise or move aside at the superintendent's approach.
