We renew our suggestions to the pro-
jectors of the Oklahoma boom to hunt for
gold and siver deposits in the Indian ter
ritory. Fertile lands will never tempt
such swarm of emigrants as a gold or
silver mine. The kind of people who
can be enticed to the territory by accounts
of a rich agricultural region are the
peaceful sort who will never defy the
blue coats, but the gold hunter is of a
different make, and no dangers of inter
ference by Indians or soldiers will turn
him out Of a reservation if there are
treasure deposits to keep him there. All
the treaties that bar white men from the
Indian territory would be shattered al
once, as they were in the Black hills, i
treasure region could only be discover
ed in some part of the territory.-S
Louis Republican.

THE historical Othello was not black
at all. He was white man, and a Ven
etian General named Mora. His history
resembles that of Shakspeare's hero in
many particulars. Giraldo Cinthio, prob
ably for better effect, made out of the
name Mora, moro, a blackamoor, and
Shakespeare, unacquainted with the true
story, followed this old novelist's lead,
and it was well he did so; for have we
not in consequence the most perfect de-
lineation of the peculiarities of Moorish
temperament ever conceived?-3Splpini.

4 Remarkable Dog.

The Macon (Ga.) Tdcgrgph of recent
date says: If you are looking for down
right intellect, call on the pointer dog,
He is far more human than the monkey,
and we cheerfully acknowledge far wor-
thier Of the relationship. Look at JEFF,
DIR. r.Mattauer's liver-colored pointer. That
dog carries notes, goes for the horse and
buggy, goes for beef and fetches ice regu-
larly. Would any one deny Jcfl7s intel
lect? Hardly, Last week jeff was sent
for ice. He started with a towel, in one
corner of which the nickle was tied up.
jeff saw that nickle put in. and immedi-
ately temptation assailed him. He could
get ice ON credit but beef was always
cash. He labored under the temptation
until he reached IiuHs corner, near the
ice-house, and then he yielded. Down
J in the dirt he crouched, and, after tus-
sci, got the knot united He buried the
nickel. carried the towel in, received the
| ice, and came out; but not for the nickel
| Oh, nol The Doctor must be left under
the impression that the nickel had gone
for ice. The ice was carried to the office
and jeff came back like a flash, secured
his cash, galloped to the beef stand, and
in few minutes was observed homeward
bound with his dinner. He was moi
afraid to carry it home. He reasoned
that the Doctor would suppose some one
had given it TO him.

A Rabbit Story.
HnnlnrAnn Krnnrtnr


Awhile ago father and son went out
into the snow rabbit-hunting. The snow
measured u inches in depth in some
places, and at no place was it less than
six. While strolling along signs unmis-
taxable led them to hollow chunk not
more than 300 yards away from negro
cabin. The chunk was crooked. short
and by no means over heavy. The son
threw it upon his shoulder and walked
away to the cabin, where he procured an
AK and in a few strokes cut into the
hollow. He inserted his arm and took
from the chunk two fine, fat rabbits, and
thinking that all left. In the afternoon
the old man who lived in the cabin car
cried into his room one section of the
chunk and threw it upon the fire. After
heating up for awhile, and when it had
nearly burned through, two bouncing fat
fellows jumped out and were captured in
the room. They were stewed and fur
nished most enjoyable meal for the old
darky and his wife.

LoclSiaw ON Long Island,

A Lad in Suffolk county, a few DAYS
since, accidentally stepped on nail and
ran 1t INTO his foot. 1t would have been
regarded as n trifling matter in most
places, but such accidents have in many
cases proved fatal on Long Island. After
few days of suffering the poor boy died
of lockiaw.
IL has long been known that this sin
gular disease was Of remarkably frequent
occurrence on Long Island, both among
persons and animals. Many horses have

general use it would save many hard
words and do away with considerable
domestic unhappiness among poor peo-
pie. Doubtless it might have a tendency
TO make a better feeling between some
men and their wives, by settling the
vexed question as to who should get up
in the morning and build the fire. Out
Of this question alone many divorce suits
grow, and this arrangement would pre-
vent them"

A STRINGENT anti-dueling bill has been

MucH of the trouble arising from freight
blockades would be obviated if some
thing like the clearing house system pre-
vailed on the railroads. Cars should be
moved unloaded and returned promptly,
and there would then be no confusion.
As it is now, cars run wild for weeks and
much injury is done railroad companies
