any trout herepn

fish here, but don't know what they do
get"
I'm throw my line in" says Webster,
"and see what there ISL
Webster walked the banks Of the stream
trying his luck, and the old FARMER followed
him. Soon Webster remarked:
. You have some bog Oh yU6r farm p,'
" Yes" says the farnsr,, 'sthat amt the

Fishing still further along, Webster says
" You seem to have plenty of mosquitoes

"Yes,a he replied, atHat ain't the worst

Webster still Kept onthrowihg bis line into
the deep pools, and then said !:

Mr.. Webster, getting somewhat discourage

scratched by brars, and not raising single

"I do not believe that there ID any trout

farmer.

This is the simple truth of the situation.
IL Mr.. Tildeu is nominated, q wronged and
insulted party, containing great majority of
the voters Of the United States, is afforded an
opportunity to vindicate the cause, of popular
government. If the fraud by which Hayes
was placed in power be not rebuked by the
renomiuation and reelection of Tilden, then
the fact il. established that the Democratic
party is too vacillating and uncertain to be de-
pended upon for tie defence and preservation

Tilden now as it would have been to abandon
Washington in the time of the American
Revolution" 8t8k3&S AAss N*N

WORK.

Some great angel spake to me tonight
In awful language Of the unknown land,
Bidding me choose from treasure infinite.
From goodly gifts and glories In his hand,
The thing coveted. what should take
Fame's wreath ofbays? the tickle worlds esteem?
Nay greenest bays may wave on brows that ache,
And worlds appauding passeth a dream
Should choose Love to fill mine empty heart
With soft strong sweetness, as in days Of old 2
Nay for Loves rapture hath an after-smart,
And on loves the thorns are manifold.
Should choose Life with long succeeding years?
Nay: earth's long life is longer time for tears
would choose Work, and never-faiiing power
~ work without weak hindranoe by the way,
Without recurrence of the weary hour
When tired, tyrant Nature holds its sway,
Over the busy brain and toing hand.
All If an angel came TO me tonight,
Speaking ia language of the unknown land,
So would choose from treasure Infinite.
But well know the blessed gift crave,
The tireless strength for never ending task,
Is not for this life But beyond the grave
1t may be shall find the thing ask
For beese there is better land,
Where viii aud work, and strength go hand In hand

MISCELLANY.
STRANGE NARCOTICS.

The great narcotic in India is the betel nut,
of which Anglo-Saxons--perhaps fortunately
know nothing. The betel nut is the seed
of the areca palm, which is extensively cult
waited. As nearly every native chews betel,
the consumption of areca nuts is incredibly
great. In the Philippines the laborer is paid
in betel rolls as he is with cocoa leaves in
some parts of Peru, aud the betel nut is one
of the most valuable articles of produce in
Sumatra. The greater part of popuits this
country in proportion to this islands export
goes to China. The betel nut is about the
size of a cherry, slightly pear-shaped, very
hard, and externally not unlike nutmeg of
inferior guilty. In India it is prepared for
chewing by being cut into long narrow strips
and wrapped in leaves of the so-called betel
pepper, previously busted on one side with
the quicklime of oalcined shells. In the Phil
ippines, buyo, as the betel roll is called, is
offered to every one who enters a house, just
as pinch of snuff or pipe is in western coun-
tries. Every one who can afford it puts a
fresh buyo in his mouth every hour, which he
The visible effects of the betel are that it pro-
notes the flow of saliva and lessons perspira-
ton. 1t tinges the mouth, teeth and lips with
a vivid red which is not ornamental but as
an offset 1t imparts an agreeable odor to the
breath. and is supposed to fasten the teeth,
cleans the gums, and cool the mouth. The
juice is usually, but not always, swallowed -
On those who are accustomed to use it, the
betel exerts a weak but continuous and sus-
tanned exhilerating influence. All through
Southern India and the Spice Islands every
person who owns little bit of land usually
grows the leaves Of the pawn, or betel pep
per, for his own consumption. Only tobacco,
among the narcotics in common use, is con-
sumed in larger quantities than the betel nut
In India indeed, where, on an average, not
more than twelve cents a head is annually
spent for clothing, indulgence in betel forms
the second great necessary of common life.

Indian Reservations.
Especial to the Oregonian. \


WASHINGTON, Dec. LIN his an
nnal report, the secretary of the in
terror gives review not only of the
operations of the past year, but of the
four years of his administration. The
larger part is devoted to Indian af-
fairs. In his opening chapter upon
this subject the secretary gives an ex-
PLANTATION of an important change
which has taken place with regard to
the reservation system He says that
although at first accepting as he found
it, the reservation policy which had SO
long been followed 10y the Indian Of
flee, more extensive observation and
study of the matter gradually con
WINGED him that this was mistaken
policy, and that it would be better for
the Indians and more in accordance
with justice, as we'll rs wise expediency
to respect their home attachmcnts, to
leave them upon the lands they oceu-
pied, provided such lands were capa-
ble of yielding a sustenanee by agri-
cultural Or pastoral pursuits and be-
gin and follow up the practice of in
Producing among them habits and oc-
equations of civilized life Oh the
ground they inhabited. In view OF
the fact also that the maintenance of q
system of large reservations against
the pressure of white immigration and
settlement would in the course of
time become impracticahle, different
policy has been followed, having for
its object settlement of the Indians
upon lands in severalty, disposal for
their benefit Of their lands not required
for this purpose, and gradually to pre-
pare the way for their final incorpora
ton into the body polite as independ-
ent and self relying men invested with
all the rights which other inhabitants
of the country possess.
