The Invasion of the Indian Territory,
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.

AEAONlAMAI1ON ID Il lhh
Whereas, 1t has become known to me that
certain evil disposed persons have, within the
territory and jurisdiction of the United States,
begun and set on foot preparations for an or
ganized and forcible possession of and settle
ment upon lands of what is known as the In
dian Territory, west of the State of Arkansas,
which Territory is designated recognized and
described by the treaties and laws OF the Unit
ed States, and by the Executive authorities,
as the Indian Country, and as such is only
subject to occupation by Indian tribes, Off
GERS of the Indian Department, military posts,
and such persons as may be privileged to re
side and trade therein, under the laws OF the
United States; and
Fhereas, Those laws provide fer the re-
moval OF all persons residing and trading
therein without express permission of the In
dian Department and Agents, and also of all
persons whom such Agents may deem to be
improper persons to reside in the Indian
Country; and, ...t. -r...-
Whereas In aid and support of such organ
lied movement it has been represented that
no further action will be taken by the Gov
eminent TO prevent persons from going into
said Territory and settling therein; but such
representations are wholly without authority.
Now, therefore, for the purpose OF properly
protecting the interest OF the Indian nations
and tribes, as well as the United States, in said
Indian Territory, and of duly enforcing the
laws governing the same, i, Rutherford Il.
Hayes, President of the United States, do ad-
mOnish and warn all such persons so intend
ing or preparing to remove upon SAID lands
or into said Territory, without permission of
the proper Agent of the Indian Department,
against any attempt to remove or settle on
the lands of said Territory; and do further
warn any and all such persons who may so Of
fend, that they will be speedily andimmediate
lyremoved therefrom by the Agent, according
TO the laws made, and that no efforts viii
be spared to prevent invasion OF said Terrific
~, rumors spread by evil disposed persons to
the contrary Notwithstanding; and if neces
sary, the aid and assistance of the military
forces of the United States will be invoked to
f..4r-r n QXncntlnn laws
United States herein referred to.
In testimony whereof l hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be fixed.
Done at the City of Washington on this 18th
day of February, in the year of our Lord 1850,
and of the independence of the United States

Why AIphOnse and His Papa Died.

The death of the deeply-lamented
Alphonse, pet of the Parisians and para
gon of all orang-outangs, and of his
affectionate sire has been followed by a
sort of pilgrimage to the scene of their
last appearance, where their mortal
remains have been 90 set UP" artistically
by the best professors of the art of stuff
ing. One OF the literary gentlemen who
was assisting at the melancholy scene
has described an interview which he had
on the spot with Cadet, the inspector
of animals" at the Jardin d. Acclima-
ton, and has reproduced, for the edifi-
cation of the public, the theory which
that worthy originated as the cause of
death in the father and son. According
to this version of the affair the catastro-
phe was the result of nothing more nor
less than love and regret. The mother
of Alphonse had inspired both her COM
panions with so warm an affection that
life became insupportable to both of
them when they were carried off, leav-
ing her in the ancestral forest.
1t was in vain that M. Cadet was con-
fronted with the verdict of the learned
men who had assisted at the post NOR
tenn examination, and held a sort of
coroner's inquest over the body of Al
phonse.s These gentlemen had been
pleased to declare that the cause of
death was a pulmonary disease brought
on by the rigor of a climate never IA
vorable at the best of times to the health
of the monkey tribes, and most unusual
ly trying to them during this particular
winter. But the inspector of animals
was also present at the inquiry, and OBJ
served the operations OF the surgeons,
and he declares that there were neither
tubercles in the lungs nor symptoms of
disease or injury in any vital organ. He
then cites the gestures, looks, cries, or
language as he would call it, of his two
friends, both when they arrived and up
to the time of their death, compares
them accurately with the actions and be-
havior that human beings display when
afflicted by grief, and concludes with a
positive assurance that had it not been
for the. absence of mamma the pair
would even now be alive. Cadet is Il
believer not in the Pythagorean doctrine
of the migration of souls, but the theo-
~ still more flattering to the animal
world, that they are endowed with rea-
sonable and immortal souls.-LOndos

A Burlesque Miser.

A striking, if not picturesque looking,
figure of man can be seen in New
Jersy town. He is dressed in canvas
shirt, with two meal bags for breeches
reaching to his knees; on his head is
ragged-edged hat, full of holes. He is
"gold blind" whatever that may be;
that is to say, he imagines that every
thing has the hue of gold at any rate,
he gathers sticks and stones, under the
impression that they are coins, and
boasts of his treasures boarded in the
swamps where he dwells. He calls at
the shops for advertising cards, and
imagines them bank bills, and the bright
colored placards of, patent medicine
vendors he treats as United States bonds.
He cries and wrings his hands when
any one threatens to enter his shanty in
the swamp, and spends half the night
counting over his fortune. In fact, he
seems to enjoy life as we'll as the miser
who boards real gold, and TIE commu-
nity's stock of wealth is in no ways
diminished thereby. Re is a living
caricature of men who find pleasure
simply in accommodating money and pro-
cure no other advantage of it for them
selves or others.-ECchdnge

CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS.
The Ute Outbreak.

~ tu,j1 WASHINGTON, Feb. s.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs this
morning; examined Y. W. Byers, Postmaster
at DENVER, Colo, relative to the Ute question.
He said that the causes OF dissatisfaction and
irritation on the part of the Ute Indians dated
back to tie treaty in which they claimed to
have been "sold by Orray;" that the
White River Utes repudiated that treaty
and invariably warned settlers from the
region outside of their present reser-
walton which they held they never intended
to cede TO the United States; that the Indian
idea was that they had exclusive rights on the
reservation and an equal right with the whites
of the reservation. As an Indication that the
outbreak was premeditated he instaneed the
fact that the Utes for some time had been
counting friendly relations with the Chey-
ennes and Arrapahoes, when it is well known
that they are natural and deadly enemies.

College, where this practice is known as

stop to it by making every man recite
