A Variegated peOule,

The ground work of the population o
the Indian Territory mey be said to be o
mosaic. There are wild Indians b,
blood" viz: The Osagcs, Oheyennes
Arrapahoes, Kiowas and Pawnecs, abou
10000, all tolG. These are called, '.blank
eft lndians," and do not cultivate the soil
They are not much mixed. Then there
are other Indians by Blood" viz: Chero
KEGS, Greeks, Seminoles. Choctaws and
Chickasaws. who are partially civilized
and very mixed When a white man
marries woman of any of these tribes.
he Immediately becomes ''wbite Indian
by marriage" entitled to all the rights
and privileges of the tribe and to his pro.
portion of the land; ditto of white
woman who marries an Indian. There
are also lots OF "black Indians by treaty.
connected with the Cherokees, Creeks and
Seminolcs The negroes of those nations
were made free by the treaty of 1866; but
unlike the treaties of 1866 with the other
tribes, the Chocfaw and Chickasaw treaty
did not stipuiate that they should be citi-
zens of those tribes. Of these civilized
Indians by blood, white Indians by mar.
rlsge, and black Indians by treaty, there
are $4,000. Besides these, there are 800
NEGRO citizens of the United States -
formerly slaves OF the Chic kasaws and
Choctaws, who are not construed or
otherwise ranked as Indians. The whole
population of the Territory is about u, 600.
which is greater thaa that of the State of
Nevada.

three years old the horn is uniformly
smooth from the root to the tip. Every
year after three, it has notch on it. so,
counting the notches, and adding three,
the age of the animal is ascertained
Tricks are practiced by fraudulent dealers
in fling down the Oldest notches, to make
the animal appear younger, and the un
Isophls'i are thereby deceived; but a
slight inspection Of the horn will easily
detect the fraud. The period OF calving,
whether late or early, affects the notchcs
of the horn, which may give an older or
younger appearance to the animal than its
trre age. AZ with cattle, the horns of

Pleasing Experiments.

A most remarkable phenomenon is pro
duced in glass tubes, placed in certain
circumstance. When these are la d be
fore fire in horizon position, haying
their extrcmitits properly supported. they
acquire rotary motion around their axis,
and also progressive motion toward III,
fire, even when their supports are d,clin
ing from the fire, SO that the tubes will
moye little way upward to the fire.
When the progressive motion Of the tubes
toward the fire is stopped by an obstacle,
Il cir rotation still continues. When the
tubes are placed in a nearly upright pos
ture, leaning to the right hand, the mo
ton will be from cast to west; but if
they lean TO the left hand, the motion
will be from west 10 east; and the nearer
they are placed to the upright posture,
the less will the motion be either way, Ii
the tube is placed horizontally on glass
plane, the fragment, for instance. of
coach window glass, instead of moving
toward the fire, it will move from it, and
about its axis in q contrary direction to
what it had done before; nay. it will re
cede from the fire, and move little up
ward when the plane inclines towards
the fire. These experiments succeed b st
with tubes from twenty to twenty twol
inches long, which have in each end a
pretty strong pin fixed in cork for their
axis.

AraUcania.

The first inimation that most of til,
people of the world had that there was
such King or Kingdom as Araucania,
was that the King was dying. The
kingdom is sort of Arcadlan territory
situated on the southern borders of Chill
bounded on the ives, by the Pacific, and
on the east by the Andes. 1t has about as
much area as the State of Indiana. and a
population little exceeding that of Tole-
DO at the present time. The people are
said to be very brave, and unusually
intelligent. They raise cattle and horses
to procure what they need from the out
eide world. They imbibed such hatred
for gold, on account of the excuses that
they saw 1t induced the Spaniards TO com.
nit, that after they had expelled the
Spaniards, they closed up all the gold
and silver mines in the country, which
remain unworked to this day.

TheSca Serpent in Reality.

A London letter says: l remember
more than twenty years ago. when Prot
Agassiz was taking his class on a scicn,fi
excursion along the coast of Nahant. Ii
paused on rock. and in his own graph
way gave a summary of the narratives o
the sea serpent SAID to have been seer
near there. One of our class INDUCED !,

further Investigation.
The important mass of testimony which
has accumulated on the subject has beer
carefully reviewed in the March number
of that excellent periodical, the Gentle
mans Magazine, by Professor Richard A.
Proctor, in paper entitled "Strangc Sea
Creatures. After sitting the evidence
cautiously, Prof. Proctor arrives at the
conclusion that at least one large marine
serpent exists which has not yet been
classified among the known species Of the
present era; that this animal has serpcn
tine neck, and head small as compared
with its body; that it is breathcr, prob.
ably warm blooded. and certainly carnv-
orous; that its propusvc power being
great, and apparently independent of its
undu'ations. i Pre- sumably has con cealed
paddles. These circun stances correspond
with the belief that IS the enaiiosaurian
or modern representative of the long
necked plesiosaurus of the Mesozoic era, u
member of that strange family whose fig
urc resembles serpent drawn through the
body of sea turtle. That it is so much
larger than any fossil remains of the same
family which have been found may be &C
counted for by the fact, that if one or two
OF them should survive at all, it naturally /
would be through their gigantic size end
strength.
Mr. Proctor thinks the accounts OF huge
cutie fish exaggerated. but believes in the
gigantic tadpole-two hundred feet IN
length seen in The Malacca straits byI,
officers u tie Nest3 and al first mistaken
Tor snoal. DT. Andrew Wilson, v DO ,
captured the ribbon fish. sixty feet long, f,
also believes that there Is some sea mon. :
ster which mariners occasionally see. Z.
Prof. Gosse holds the same view. Prof. 9
owen, thirty years ago. suggested that I
the monster might be the sea elephant I
(Phcca probOscdea). which Is sometimes =
thirty feet long; but he has had nothing r
to say Of the evidences and descriptions :
adduced since then, and the notable silence ;,
of the zoologists generally must be re- a
regarded as their consent TO the main fact
that gigantic monsters do exist, though G.
rs yet ''unknOwable.

When the first branch bank was opene,
at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State
