The practice cf ''sitting upon man." as 1t
is called, universally prevails in Persia, and
it is not easy to deal with it. Still it may be
dealt with, and Sir John McNeili, a shrewd
Scotch diplomat,st, who was once accredited

The preparations for the aerial trip to Eu-

is able to say that the word .'go" will be

Everything being ready, and an assurance
given by the signal service at Washington of
the probability OF favorable weather tor
twenty-four hours, Professor Wise and his
friends will quietly embark, waving theil
hats to the crowd, and be off. Sunset will be
the probable hour, but no attempt at public
display will be made; it is rather solemn

and guns and music, would be less appropri-
ate than the uncovered head and bated breath.

thoroughly satisfied himself of the sea-wor-

it was not until the Professor drove her on

shipped the slightest drop Of water. The

Cherokee FlectIon.
The Sacramento Union has been yentul

The Sacramento UBion has been yenturing
ton. From that paper we learf1 that the
s'party of Bowling. the chief of the naion,''
has been successful, and the writer then spec
ulates upon the possibility of the future ele-
vation OF this fortunate red man to CONGRESS.
The political results Of the election are briefly
sketched in the establishment of a Territorial
Government for the @berokees and the erec-
tion of the TerritorH Of Okmulgee. This,
we are further infornsed, is opposed by the
great body OF the Clerokees, and those who
favor it do so at the instigaticn of railroad
thieves who wish to possess themselves of all
the Indian lands theysllave not already grab
bed under one prctensn or another.
A few trifiing inaccuracies require to he
noticed in this hasty review OF the Cherokee
political situations HDowlingn is not prin-
ciral chief of the Cherokee nation, Colonel
Lewis Downing, whom the writer doubtless
intended to name, died last November. His
chances OF election to either branch of Con-
gress cannot be rcgsrled as, favorable. A
Cherokee Territorial Government is an idea
OF the Unions, as is also the erection of the
Territory of Okmulgee. When the Persian
Court sent an Embassy to London during
one of the early Georges reign, the Minister
was instructed to learn and report whether
England was a part OF London. or London
part OF England. The Union would do well,
before it ventures to treat upon Indian mat
ters, to ascertain whether the Cherokee ma
ton is a par: of the Indian Territory or the
Indian Territory part Of the Cherokee ma
ton. An effort has been made in Congress
the last few sessions to territorialize the In
dian country under the name OF Okla, oma,
thus consolidating the Cherokees and Creeks
the Choctaws and other civilized nations, " ith
the KIowas, the Comanches, the Arapahoes
and other wild tribes. This is to be effected
under the Okmulgee Constitution. The
Union man has got Territory and Constitu-
ton mixed up somewhat, but his readers
have the privilege Of paying their money and
taking their choice. The progressive red
skins who favor allotment of lands and terri
torialization are by no means in the interest
of railroad thieves; on .ne contrary, they
advocate this measure asithe surest means OF
defeating the designs oi the railroads.
The writer adds. If q Territorial frame of
government should lie created. an opportun-
ity will be offered to observe how the Indians
dcpeft themselves in,thtir new governmental
relations. He has profited so greatly by his
present opportunities of studying the Indian
political situation. that extended facilities
should certainly be afforded him. With his
present light he is hardly adapted to ai,l in
solving the vexed indian problem.

John Guy and General Cass.

In years gone by there dwelt in Washing
ton John Guy, character in his way, in
connection with whom Colonel Foraey tells
the following anecdote, or rather quotes 1t
from Daniel Dougherty, one OF Philadel-
phla's ablest lawyers and most brilliant ra-
contours: Guy kept the National Hotel in
Washington, and among his guests was Gen.
Cass, then Senator from Michigan. Guy
dressed like Cass, and although not as port
ly, his face, including the wart, was strange
ly similar. One day a Western friend of the
house came in after long ride, dusty and
tired, and, walking up to the Office, encoun-
tered Gen. Cass, who was quietly standing
there. Mistaking him for Guy, he slapped
him on the shoulder and exclaimed: Well.
old fellow, here I am ! The last time hung
my hat up in your shanty ore of your clerks

have got hold of you, insist upon lower
room.' The General, most dignifed per-
sonage, taken aback by this startling salute.
cody replied: ''You have committed
mistake, sir. am not Mr.. Guy; I am Gen.
Cass, of Michigan" and angrilY turned
away. The Western man was shocked at
the unconscious outrage he had committed
but before he had recovered from his moIti-
ficatiou Gen. Cass, who had passed around
the office, confronted him again, when, a
second time mistaking HIM for Guy, he faced
him and said Here You are at last /!

old Cass. and took him for you, and am

Three Card Monte in E7innesota.

There is a preacher, said to be located as
Brainerd, the village at the Mississippi cross
ing of the Northern Pacific Railroad, whose
name is given as Williams. And there are
three or more practitioners of the game OF
three card monte, names and habitations un-
known, who have. lately operated with con.
siderable success upon travellers on the
Northern Pacific and Lake Superior and Mis-
sissippi railroads. Among their latest victims
is the preacher aforesaid. and how he fell INTO
their snare Is thus told by the Brainerd peo-
pie. Sitting near the preacher was verdant
looking youth, to whom a couple of sharp,
''sport'' appearing men were exhibiting their
skill at three card monte. From where he
was seated he could tell the winning card eve
put down fifty dollars on wager that he
would select the righf card, the good man
was fairly grieved to see the innocent youth,
as il. blind to what was plain to be seen, pick
up the wrong card and lose his money. The
youth seemed to feel bad about it too, but af-
ter watching the dealers motions awhile he
emptied all his POCKETS and collected another
$50. which straightway followed the rest into
the dealers pocket. Amazed that the youth
could not see what he saw so plainly, and
sympathising with the youths apparent grief
over losing every cent of his money, the
preacher resolved to recover it and re-
store it to its late possessor. After
little parleying the preachers watch was wa
gered against 800 of the gamblers moneys
the deal was made. and the good man turned
up the marked card, but the wrong one His
good gold watch disappeared in the gamblers
vest, and at the next station when the .hrees
the two gamblers and the verdant youth, I
vert from the car and walked down the plata
form as the train rolled on, chatting ard
laughing like old acquaintance, the minister
began to suspect that the verdant youth and
the gamblers were confederates, and he their
dupe. But even then his amazement that his
eyes should have 80 deceived him as to the
identity OF that marked card was the predom.
