reduced 10 5000. This includes the rail-
roads and stages and might well be relu-

The grape crop Of Missouri, this year,
has been abundant, and along the way to
Seiaiia, little boys came on the cars, at
every stopping plsce- with any amount of
both grapes and wine, the product thereof,
which they offered at tempting rates. We
bought three lunches larger than our fist
for FIVE cents hid found them perfectly de-
.irous The country along the line of the
M, X. md I. Road through its whole eI-
tent, is beautiful and productive. Towns
are springing up like enchantmont every
wh.re. wc we're most pleased with the
loc ,tion and appearance Of TT. Scott
Our ride from the end Of the railroad to
TT. Gibson, in crowded stage, was any
thing but agreeable. We we're nearly all
nipht on the road and not 4 all com mforted
by the information that the next Nay the
cars would hc running TO within eight
miles OF TINT place. AS We came along,
the next morning, we saw, every now ana
then the tents and teams OF tho opera
tors on the rairoal for fifty or siSiy |
miles this side Of Ft. Gibson. From the
energy already exhibited and its rapid
progress so far, We believe the road will
bc completed 10 Red River by next sum.

on and we do not wonder that the white
man Is cove,ing its possession. With the
rsilroaub running through it, the whites
wiH come in, law Or no law, and the best
thing lhc half civilized tribes can do is to
rrtpnrc for the advent. They can have
their lands surveyed, select locations for
themselves, and sell out the remainder to
the whites, and thus become the richest |
people for their number in e1istence.-
We Gee no other course fJt them. IL the
tribes can ,gree 20 come into the Union
as State, they Sould, for some time, keep !
the nstsndency over tie white settlers,
though they are bnuru ultimately to he
.wallowc. up BA ghen. Such il destiny
or Proriden,c or whatever yet may call
it. At the stopping places for meals
there is no stopping FER slecp-se found
white men, with half breed wives and
chidttn, who entertained us Gi we'll as
their means permitted and, iiideed, the
fare was about equal TO any in The South

A few words about the FL Paso Coaches,
80 culle 4, which we are compelled 10 say |
ara The most uucom fertnble we ever had |
the honor to ride in. They are very long
and strong nhd wrong in every re- |
spect re hitting to comfort. Built high, in |
the first place, they ars very difficult to get |
in, and whsn you are in, you are all the
time wishing yoh we're out. Every jolt, |
whom the road is rough, throws you |
against some sharp edge-for the inside
is made up of sharp edges and there is not
a rounded or self spot to be found in
them-aUd at the sides, to prevent your
resting your arms for moment, are inge-
niously inserted sharp iron rods to keep
you in continual torment. How such
Coaches could have been built at Concord
