Indian Civilization.

Facts have proved not only that the
American Indians are not decreasing in
numbers, but that they are advancing
rapidly in civilization. Of the entire
number, estimated at 275,000, $4,000,
or about one-fifth, receive rations from
the Government. The number of ra-
tions issued is steadily diminishing.
About 10000 Indians are living under
constitutions and written laws adopted
and administered by themselves. There
are 112,903 who wear citizens dress !;
these occupy 22,199 houses. There are
maintained among the tribes $50
schools. in which are 1l,515 scholars;
the sum of 1897 1873 is expended on ed
ucatlon, and 40,397 have learned to
read. The number of acres of land
cultivated by Indians within the juris-
diction of the United States is 292 $50 !;
the total of bushels of wheat raised by
them in 1877 was 688,728; of corn
4,656,952. The horses and mules owned
are 216,2 86; the cattle are 217 1888, and
the sheep 5S7, 444. These facts are
proof that the peace policy of the Ma
tional Government is far from being a
failure. DR.. Clark, one Of the secreta-
ries of the American board, has ex-
pressed the opinion that our Indians
have made more progress in civiliza-
ton in the last decade than during the
preceding fifty years. Exchange.

A California Dog Story.

Michael Sullivan, employed at South
Vallejo, CAL, to watch the depot and
clean out the passenger coaches, has a
wonderfully intelligent dog which is
called Mickey. The animal, says the
Vallejo Chronicle, became the property
OF Sullivan when puppy, and he con-
Guided to drown him. 1t being very
warm day, he called at brewery for a
glass OF beer, and put the pup on the
counter while ne quenched his thirst.
While he was talking with the proprie-
tor he left the glass on the counter,
partly filled with beer. The little dog
crawled up to it, and Tapped the beer
with the keenest relish until it was all
gone. Another glass was disposed of
in the same manner. Mike then changed
his mind about drowning the pup, and
has kept him until the present time.
Every day Mickey looks for his
schooner" of beer with as much ex-
pectancy as Mike does himself. If the
owner cannot go for his favorite bev-
erage, ne places dime in Mickey's
mouth, and the dog trots off to the
brewery, places it on the counter. and
waits patiently for the bartender to fill
the glass.
AS soon as the cars come in, Mickey
is always first to go through and look
for anything that may have been left
behind by the passengers. If he dis
covers anything, he stands at the door
of the car and barks until his master
comes to him. Once Mickey saw an
article left in one of the bat-racks, a2d
ran to his master to call his attention
to it, While he was gone, an idler
standing in the depot passed through
the cars, and, noticing the package,
stole it, but it was afterward recovered /;
since that time Mickey never leaves the
car until his master comes in. In clean
ing out the cars Mickey is always on
hand to carry the mops and busters
from one car TO the other.

AFTER MANY DAYS.
BY W. H. S. ATKINSON.

Away on the dear old Yorkshire
wolds in merry England, just at the
foot of the bold hill known as the
Beacon Top, resting there secure from
all but the south winds, is the pretty
srrrd er1EInt village Of Beacondale.
You ought to see Beacondale, for ii
rs the very sweetest Of English rural
villages, whether you look at it from
the Top" or from the low-lying south,
or walk up it's one street. Its church is
worth long walk or drive, whether
you see 1t inside or out, or both-such
pretty house was never erected else
where for the worship of God. It is
small and old, but most handsomely
4itCed and furnished through the gen
crosby OF the Squire who owns all the
surrounding property, and it is plenty
large enoughto hold the rustic congre-
CATION which assemblies there Sabbath
by Sabbath. Adjoining the church is
the vicarage, where dwells the good
man, who, Notwithstanding his weak
mess in favor of tapers and vestments,
faithfully tells these simple villagers
the old story of Gods love. Not but
what heresy in the shape Of dissent has
&planted It's fort in this void village.
For on one side of the street is a little
square box, capable cf holding perhaps
forty people, known as TIE Primitive
Methodist Chapel; while opposite, and
on the same side of the street as the
church, stands similar brick box
only that this Wesleyan Methodist
stronghold can look down somewhat
1zpon its neighbor across the way; for
has it not porch almost as large as
S82e chapel itself? However, church
and dissent get along pretty amicably
together on the whole.
Methodist farmers and Church Of
England farmers meet and are the best
of friends every Saturday at st. Olaves
Market, and their laborers, following
Sheir example in humber way, drink
q glass together at the village tavern
every payday, without discussing their
theological opinions and principles.
But to go on with our village. There
lis, as limited, tavern, a postotfice and
q couple OF general stores leach of
which displays its stock-in-t trade in a
small, four-paned cottage window, and
these, with two or three farm houses, a
small foundry and forge, and about a
score Of cottages, ranged on either side
a broad road and stream running
alongside each other, make up as pretty
a village as could be discovered in a
life's travel.
About two miles from Beacondale.
toward the south, stood lonely home

bad repair, but was nevertheless a real
comfortable old home, and was occu-
pied, together with a large farm Of sew
eral hundred acres, by hale old bach

was his widowed sister, who lived there
with her daughter. John Fielding and

A Strange Story.

In 1848 chestnut tree, quite 800
years old, was blown down on the banks
OF a little creek near the church called
South Carolina" within mile of the
village of Yorkyille, in Plckens county,
Ala, and about seventeen miles south
east Of Columbus, Miss. Beneath the
roots of the chestnut tree were found a
pair Of brass scales for weighing, with
the brass weights having Spanish in
scriptions and numerals on them. Two
three pound cannon-shot were found
with the scales. The soil beneath the
tree was very dry, drained as it was by
the little stream hard by, and these
relics of the Spanish adventurer were
we'll preserved. But it does not follow
because these portable articles were
found at that spot that De Soto visited
it. He had little use for scales, aud
may have left them at some distant
place OF encampment, or lost them in
some battle, and curious red man, as
signing little value to the " treasure
trove," left it when he drank on the
bank of the stream. Indians had no
WcSOhO VI wagon ways, SbnA you WACA
Eastern Mississippi was first settled by
the white people in 1880, and while the
Choctaws still owned and occupied the
country, there was a broad, deep wagon
road following the course of the river
some distance and deeply cut in the
hillsides and into the rivers banks. It
crossed the river at the mounds, ten
or twelve miles below Columbus, on
Buffers plantation, of which I have
spoken. The Choctaws said that this
road was carved out by white men, who
marched across the country, fighting
and killing, long before their recollec-
ton. If this be the tradition, as [
heard il stated long ago, there can be
little doubt that De Soto made the
road and crossed the Tombigbee at the
place indicated by the Spanish. scales
and weights, and the old highway was
certainly made by no race OF modern
Indians. But, if this be true, it does
not follow that De Soto spent TIE win

sissippi in the vicinity of Columbus or

Wendell Phillips Domestic Circle.

Wendell Phillips is rich man, but
he lives on very plain street wherein
mechanics live, in Boston. Everything
about his house is old, much worn, but
clean and never shabby. he has very
few pictures, because even q line en-
craving to suit his cultivated taste costs
considerable money, and he is unwill-
ing to buy what poor man could not
afford. He is friendly in very quiet
way. He is devoted husband, aDd when
he is at home always dimes in the room
of his wife, who has been an invalid
ever since she was girl, and who
never leaves that room. Garrison once
said that he did not know what Phillips
religion was, but that 1t must be liberal
Redpath says that in a crisis in the
anti-slavery movement, as Mr.. Phillips
was leaving his house to make speech,
his wife said: "Don't shilly-shally,
Wendell"
