INDIAN LINEAGE.-SOme children in Indiana
were lately excluded from q public school be-
cause they were one sixteenth Indian, their
great grand father having been of Indian
descent. The parents appealed, and 1t was de-
cided that the children were, in effect, c0lored
children, and could not be allowed to atte nd
school with white children. To show how opin-
ions vary, we may say that some OF the most
distinguished families In Virginia are OF Indian
descent, and are proud to own it.-Rickmond
