Super visor of Education at Pine Ridge. Washington, Jau. 16. The cmnvs sioner of Indian affairs has received from Elaine Goodale, supervisor of education t Pine Iiidge, a report on the buttle a' Wounded Knee. Sue says the Indians had no intention of fighting; that the first shot was tired by youn and irres ponsible Indian, and indiscriminate filing by the military followed. She thought the killing of some of the Indian women unavoidable, but the fnct that the dead Indian bucks were found lyiu together, while the dead squaws aud children were found scattered about for a distance of two miles tends to show that is was wil ful. Miss Goodale goes on to say that she was not a witness of the Wounded Knee -fight and that her information has been obtained from the Indians who were en gaged in it, and from haifbreeds. The testimony of the survivors of Big Koot's -band, she says, is to the effect that the Indians did nut deliberately plan resis tance. The demand fcr their arms was a surprise to them, but the majority of them chose to submit quietly. The te pees bad been searched and a large number of yuns, knives and hatchets confiscated, when the searching of the persons of the men was begun. The women say that tUej, too, were searched and the knives which they always carry for domestic purposes taken from them. A number of men surrendered their rifles and cartridge belts, when one young man, who is described as a good for nothing yoiinu fellow, fired a single shot, Thio cuded tor a yolley from the troops, and the tiring and confusion be came general. Miss Goodale does not credit the statement that the women car ried xrms and participated in the fight. "There is no doubt," she says, -that the majority of the women and children had no thought of anything but flight. They were pursued my tho ravines and shot down indiscriminately by the soldiers." The killing of the women and children was, in part, unavoidable, owing to the confusion, but Miss Goodale thinks it was in many cases deliberate. The scouts who buried the dead report eighty four bodies of men nnd boys, forty-four women and eighteen young children, some were carried off by the hostiles. A number of prisoners, chiefly women, have since died of their wonnds and mors will follow. A party who vitited the battle: eld on J-nutry lntnnd brought in seven, report that iHnrly all thebodiis of the men were lying close to Big FootV tent, while the wmiihii mid children wen scattered filling a 'li-itdiice f two udlis frnn the encounter.

In the latter case the folt portions will woar out sooner than if it was used in a pri vate family. Tho matter of tuning should not be n"Jc-cteu, ana tnouJ'l never be intrusted to av:y other than an experienced person. incaiKible tuners very often work irrep arable injury to the most perfect nnd costly instruments. Daring the first year a new piano should be tuned every three or four months at least. After that it will only be necessary to have it tune 1 at longer intervals. Dampness i.i the most dangerous en emy the pia.no his to contend against. and for this reason tho climate must be considered. If the instrument is placed m a damp room, or leit open in a draught or air, tho result will bo that the htriatj.s tuning pins and the various metal vuns will become coated with .

Tlie Paris Figaro announces tlie sale of one of the most curious violins known to the music fanciers of the world. It is now on exhibition in Paris, where the American tourist can take a peep at i for a few centimes. It formerly be longed to Paganini, the great violinist and at first sight merely presents the appearance of a misshapen wooden shoe, Its history is curious. During the win ter of Paganini was living in a maison de s tate called Les Neothermes, 43 Itue de la Victoria. One day a large txix was brought; here by the Normandy diligence, on opening which he found inclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped carefully in several folds of tissue paper. a wooden shoe and a letter stating that the writer, having heard much of the wonderful genius of the violinist, begged, as a proof of his devotion to music, that Paganini would play in pub lic on tho oddly constructed instrument inclosed. At first Paganini felt this to be an im pertinent satire, and mentioned the facts, with some show of temper, to his triend, tho Chevalier de Baride. The latter took the shoe to a violinmaker, who converted it into a remarkably sweet toned instrument. Paganini was pressed to try the shoe violin in public. He not only did so, but performed upon it some of his most difhcult fantasias, which facts, in the handwriting of the violinist, are now to bo seen on the curi ous violin. A Smart Youth. One enterprising youth made the phe nomenal record of "knocking down" $25 a day while in charge of a construction train, which, it need hardly be said, is never supposed to carry passengers. Under the rigid rules of the average auditing department it is doubtful whether money turned in from such a source would be accepted by the presid ing Solons. But the carrying of passengers fell under the eye of the construction de partment and a dismissal followed. Dis charged for thi3 violation of rules, our promising financier re-entered the ser vice on another divisiom of the road, where his industry and patience were rewarded -in time with a passenger train. It would appear that he stood better in the confidence of his superiors than in tht of Lis fellow conductors, the more cynical of whom expressed doubts about the company's ever getting the train back after he had left town with it. Frank II. Spearman in Har per's Weekly. A Stri;i Wjive. A gTeat storm wave is peculiar to cy clones. At tlie center or tlie disturbance the mercury in a go. id barometer may be lower by three inches than that in a similar instrument on the verge of the cyclone. This is owing to t he diminution of atmospheric pressure consequent on the rotation of the air wheel; and as nature abhors a vacuum, the sea in the vortex rises above its usual level until equilibrium is restored. This storm wave advances with the hurricane, and rolls in upon the low land like a solid wall. In the Backergunge cyclone of 1876 the storm wave covered the land at the eastern end of the Ganges delta at heights varying from ten to forty-five feet, as measured by marks on the trees. One hundred thousand lives were lost on this occasion. Chambers' Journal.
