NUE. TAX IN THE INDIAN RESRRvATIONS.-
There being no organised Internal Revenue
collection districts in any Of the Indian reser-
vstions, hitherto no tax has been collected In
such districts upon tobacco, snuff, cigars,
spiritueus or fermented liquors; but as such ar
ticles, manufactured in the Indian country
reached the States for market the tax has been
levied and collected. The result Of this has been
that white men living on tho Arkansas border
have gone into the Cherokee reservation, q few
rods from the Arkansas State line, and there es-
tablished manufactures and distilleries, the
products Of which they would run into
the States and dispose Of without the
payment Of the tax required by law
to be paid by manufacturers in the regular col
lection districts; hence . tobacco factory in the
Cherokee country has been seized by the In
ternal Revenue oficiais Of Arkansas, and the
question now comes before Commissioner
Delano a. to the authority TO seize and hold the
establkhment, as it h argued that the Indians
and the products Of their country are exempt
from taxation. The Commissioner holds that
the Collector has the authority to 60 into the
InGian reservations and seize manufacturers
engaged in evading the revenue laws, but
whether the power exists under the In
dian t3eaties 10 enforce the collection Of
tax in hat country be has not determined.
The question then arises whether the treaty
making power is greater than the legislative
one, or whether the Senate hss the power to
make treaty which rises above the acts Of
Congress to the extent of prohibiting the col
lection Of the revenues. The act Of July 70,
1868, section 107, provides that the Internal
Revenue laws imposing tax on distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, tobacco, s'luff, and cigars,
shall be held and Construed to extend TO such
articles produced anywhere within the exterior
boundaries Of the United states, whether the
same shall be within collection district or not.

garden in front, and the name of John Todd
on the door, you know.
In spite of Uncle Toms objection to thanks
there was a simultaneous outburst of grateful
joy-the overflow of happy hearts. John
Todd squeezed his brother-in-law's left hand
while Charlie Collins violently shook his
right, and Milly, with both arms round his
neck, kissed him repeatedly. Miss Pinnifer
wept so violently that her small pocket-hand.
kerchlef booked as if it had been recently
washed, AMI not recently dried.
The excitement rather increased than di
mlnlshed In intensity, and. Uncle Tom was in
fair way to be literary smotfered with ca
resses, when the door suddenly opened. and
Miss flnlfer's brother, in white and pecu-
llarly airy costume, stalked into the room.
Inc unfortunate man had walked from his
first sleep with an uneasy sense that the
hope OF which he had been beeuiled to rest
had not been duly furnished; and he had
therefore risen at once, without the formality
OF dressing himself, to claim his due There
was an exclamation OF astonshment follow
ed by a shout OF inextnguishable laughter.
and then Miss Pinniler,with much presence Of
mind, seized the table-cover, and hurrjedly
draped it round the intruder marched him
back to bed
FOR little while longer the little party sat
around the fire, talking of the hard times
pats, and the pleasant times to come: and
hearing the story of the tempest-tossed life,
come to an anchor at last. And then the
time came for "good by" came, and as with
loving kisses and hearty hand-shakes they
said good night" the chimes from neigh
boring church tower rang out midnight, and
Christmas day was over. And Uncle Tom,
reyerently dofing his hat, said,-
THANK God for merry Christmas.''
"Amen" said Charley Collins.
"Amenp said John Todd, with all our
hearts, amen!"
Thank God for Christmas! So say we all,
and God help him who cannot saw Amen +!
For peace and goodwill, Tor the quickened
pulse OF charity, for quarrels reconciled. and
love renewed, the golden gifts of Christmas.
God be thanked. Thanked, not alone with
our lips, but with our hands and our hearts,
by spreading these golden gifts that others
may thank Him too. None is so poor but
that, once year, at least, he may be erich
uncle" to somebody; none so joyess but that
ne may catch reflected ray OF happiness, by
doing something, be it ever so little, to make
merry Christmas in the heart OF another.
