Washington. Jan. 26. The four mem bers ot the Joint Committee on the pro posed transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, who are in favor of a change of management, bave completed their report. It is very voluminous, and favors the transfer on tne ground that tbe present system is inadequate to detect the various frauds which are constantly prac ticed upon it, no matter how well disposed the head of the Bureau may be. They take the ground that army officers who are in life positions are generally honorable, that each omcer is a check upon the other, and therefore a misappropriation of funds handled by them will not be so liable as under the present administration. They believe in the existdnce of a ring who are using the Indian Bureau as a means of gain for themselves, and predict an indefi nite continuance thereof unless the propo sition to transfer is adopted. The report will be signed by Senator Mc Creary and llepresentatives Scales, Boone and Hooker. , FORE1UN INTELLIGENCE. i ; Deatu of a Noted Afghan Tne Uus- iilan Pleasue Action of tbe Inter- national Sanitary Commission.

Those who'll read this rhyme and Yitsit our store Will appreciate more than eyer before That our muse does not VATDftT aspire To climb Olympus, and Ingloriouely expire In the attempt, but keeps an even pace With the times, and always points to the place Where they "blow" about One special thing,1 i Which has, without doubt, the true business ring. And this thing we will briefly explain, With the hope that je will cauee no pain To brother grocere, who, in years gone'by, ) . v Leartedto get goods at figures that were high. Unfortunately we see some of them incline To follow the customs of "Auld Lang Syne;" ' But we consider it matter of congratulation '. That we've no fogy notions in our education tj In old times "big profits" had a wide range, And old habits are hard, hard to change. . . Of Wilmington grocers we take the leadl ? .'' " Now to prove this assertion we only need To remind tne public that our clean new store Made others be painted and swept a little more IJ Like all business men who are truly wise, We at once began to extensively advertise, i When our friends, catching the idea, thought it well To increase their ppace, as the printer will tell ! At first we put some poetry in our "ad," ! But when they saw this plan was not bad, i They followed our lead. And when we tried prose They follewbd.as nicely as ir lead by the nose ! We next thought 'twould be well to try rhyme, ' f " When lo I they grasped the Idea as sublime 1 -'V Though they have f oHowed in all that we have done, When this battle la well fought and won, Some will see "that extra per cent," Isn't - ".non sense, J x" s But with old stock and such heavy expense, They will find thai the prices of P.

To prove that we mean n&t we say, , We announce that we. sell for a week from to-day, Eleven pounds ef "A Sugar" for only one dollar, Which lead; we Invite all grocera to follow. - The muse here caught eight of that . one-horse grinding machine of Herr Yon Kris Kringle, and was so thoroughly disgusted at the cheap way of grinding out poetry that neither leve nor money could induce him to finish our rhyme, so it had to come to an abrupt ending. -i j Respectfully and truly, - Jan 5 tf I P.
