rHn RESERVATION PROBLEM.

There are some foEshadowings that
a railroad will I've ere long construc
ted via the Clearwater and across the
Bitter Root range. Precisely who or
what company viii first build in that
direction is yet an enigma. But
whatever company builds will be COM
PEELED to build through what is now
the land Of the Nee Pcrce reservation,
unless they lengthen the route much
by building around it, which they
are not liable to do: There will be
necessity for Of two things, either to
procure the permit of the Indians and
the government to construct a road
through these lands, or that tho gov
eminent segrcgate these Indians upon
their lands in severalty, abolish the
reservation, and open the residue Of
the lands to occupancy by the whites.
There is no doubt that it will require
effort to secure the right of way over
these lands, to be made in some man.
uer suited to the cxigencies of the case
both with tho Indians and the COM
pany who purpose to build. If the
road should follow the margin Of the
Clearwater, it would be but small
obstruction to the lands occupied
and utilized by the Indians, and We
think that the permit of the Indians
could be easily secured by compensat
ing such as would have their improve
ments interfered with. The advant-
ages which the Indians would have
in finding a market for their products
would compensate them four fold, cs-
pecially those who are producers and
have surplus to sell. But the more
human and wise policy would be for
the government to abolish the
reservation entirely and segrcgate
these Indian families upon lands of
the reservation in severalty and give
each a title thereto, and let the whites
occupy the remainder either by pur-
chase, (the proceeds to be for distrit u
ton among the Indian settlers) or by
homestead and presumption entries in
tho same manner as other public lands
are disposed Of by the government.
Tho few remaining Nez Pcrccs less
than 800 in number, including men
women and children, with some excep.
tons are as capable to own, hold and
operate lands az are the Indians of any
of the tribes west OF the Mississippi,
and some of them are DESTROYS OF own
ing and holding their lands in sever
atty, and others with proper manage
ment on The part Of government agents
and officers who have them under the
control, could be induced to prefer
this severalty ownership. The adjust
ment OF this question must be made
before much is done towards putting a
railroad through these lands, else mis-
understandings will soon arise among
tho Indians, and difficulties may be
encountered that will be difficult and
require time to allay. The full i'm
portanoe Of the scveralty system has
been so fully discussed before in the
TELLER and elsew here that it is need
less to add more, than simply to say
that now is an opportune time to re-
new efforts before congress to have the
system adopted 30 far at least as to in
clude tho Nee Pcrces who are now liv-
| ing upon the reservation.

WHAT 70 LIABLE TO BE DONE.
Since the agitation of the question
about the Northern Pacific or o. r. Il
N. Co. putting railroad through
across the mountains, via Clearwater,
many have asked what route they
would take, whether they would go
up Union Flat, South Palouse to the
Potlstch, and then down to the Clear
water neaTthe forks, or come up tho Pa
faha and down the Assotin, through
Tammany Hollow, thence to CamaS
Prairie and down on to the Clear
water, or come up the north side of
Snake river opposite Lewiston, thence
% the north bank Of the Clearwater
and onward via south and middle fork
q aid stream. OF course no ono
knows what they will do. In fact
no one here knows that they purpose
10 come At al in this direction in or
der to 20 through the Bitter Root
mountains. All is conjecture yet, SO
far = the purposes of this company
are known IN this respect. But the
prescriptions are that in case they de-
sisn to come this way they will en-
deayor 70 seize and hold the best route,
both in point Of cheapness of con-
struction, and in point Of commanding
The greatest amount Of local traffic for
their road when built, the through dis.
tance being nearly the same. It is
apparent that should they adopt the
Union Fiat and South Palouss route,
they would not get the traffic Of the
south side Of Snake and Clearwater
rivers. II y equally apparent that
should thsy adopt the Pataha and
Tammany route, they would not get
the traffic Of tho Union Flat, South
Palouse, Gsnesoe and Potlatch Sec
ton, and they cannot afford to lose
either SIDE 81 thsse rivers. they may
sount on carrying the grain of either
the ono side Or the other by their
boats. But in this they viii find
themselves nistAken, as we think.
Again il their policy Ie, which seems
70 be apparent, y usurp the carrying

Try named, they will be compelled to
huiid two roads almost parallel with
each other, and each $50 miles in

Dom Pedro and His Wife Given Ban
quet in the Bowels Of Brazil.

A letter from Rio Janeiro says from
the 4th to the 9th Of April the emperor
and empress of Brazil were at the fam
Gus gold mine Of Derry Velho, in the
Minas Geraes. As the emperor is new
er satisfied without going to the bottom
of everything, he and the empress don
ned brown linen overhalls and leathern
hats with a candle in front in proper
mining fashion, and descended into the
mine, which is already over a quarter
of mile under the surface, and where
solids and liquids were laid out and uti-
lied in tOasts to the gnOmes and other
distinguished miners, including the
lawyers; but, whatever the emperor
may have thought, it is certain that all
the members of his suite blessed their
stars fervently when they reached the
surface and saw the sun again, for who
could not be certain but some exalted
Britisher Or Brazilian of the nihilist per-
suasion might not have the unlucky
thought of firing dynamite mine
and giving royalty a golden grave in
the bowels of the earth? Fortunately
nothing of the kind occurred, and the
only mishap was that as the emperor
was riding off to another mine, some
nine leagues away, his superstitious
horse, alarmed at the meeting with an
elderly lady of bewitching aspect, start
ed suddenly and left his surprised ma
jesty gasping for breath on the broad
of his back ~ the dusty road.

Sitting Bull Bounced.

Fort Walsh Correspondence Toronto Globe.)
Staff-Sergeant MackeY, who has just
arrived from Wood Mountain, gives an
account of slight trouble which took
place recently at that fort. While a
Sioux woman was getting wood IN the
bush near the fort she saw a Cree In
dian hidirg. As a war party of that
nation was known to be coming to at
tack the camp of the few Sioux who had
not vet surrendered to the American
government, she at once alarmed her
tribe. In few hours the bush was sur
rounded by Sioux warriors, who avow-
edly made up their minds to make a
shining example of the Cree. However,
they neglected to put anyone between
the fort and the bush, and the Cree
managed to crawl along the ground
and get into the fort. When the Sioux
found he was there they came down in
body headed by Sitting Bull, and dc
manded of Major Crozier that he
should be given to them. OfcOurse the
major could not comply with any such
demand, but told them he would inves-
| tigate the matter; and if he found the
Cree had intended to do any mischief
he would severely punish him. Slit
ing Bull was bound to have the Indian,
and made an endeavOr to force his way
into the fort at the head ofhis warriors
Major Crozier, who is large, powerful
ly built man, would not allow him tC
do so, and when he persisted in getting
in he took him by the neck, and cert
ain uncomfortable place, and threw the
renowned chief out of the gate, and
shut it in his face. The men in the
fort were well able to resist any dem
onstration that might have been made
but the Sioux were not strong enough
and altogether to sensible to do any,
thing further. The Cree was in the
guard house when Sergeant Mackey
left. 1t is a fact that he did not belong
to such a party as the Sioux expected

Married for Love.
Ernm the Yonkers Statesman

The man who has married for love is
a happy follow. He is generally cheer
full, and always thinking of the dear
ones at home. He prefers to live out
of town for the sake of his children.
He is rarely late at business, rises early,
garden little, eats hearty breakfast,
and goes to the necessary labor with
a light heart and clean conscience.
He often brings home pleasant sur
prises for his wife and children. You
may recognize him in trains loaded
with parcels, which he good-naturedly
carries with perfect unconcern of what
others think-a new bonnet, music,
books, a cloak for his wife; while in an
other parcel the wheels Of cart, a
ack-in-the box, a doll, or skipping-rope,
intrude through the paper and suggest
the nursery. He is brave and kind,
though he makes no noise in the
world.
The humanizing influence of that
daring red-cheek little fellow who calls
him father brings a glow and rapture
of the purest pleasure earth holds; for
the man who has never felt a tiny hand
clasp his will always lack something
he will be less human, less blessed than
others.
This is the noble. the honest, the only
form of life that imparts real contempt
and joy that will make deathbed glo-
riouS and love see peace through its
tears. 1t is so purely unselfsh, so ten
derby, true; it satisfies the highest in
stincts; it stimulates men to the best
deeds they are capable of.

The CaricaturistS on ConkIing.

Roscoe Conkling was, of course, a
shining mark for caricaturists, and
they have all made centre-shots on him
this week. Puck represents the late
senior Senator as IN immensely infat-
ed balloon rising and bursting in the
Senate Chamber, while far below. at
tached by string, is a toy balloon, in
the likeness of PIatt, also bursting in
imitation of his greater companion.
The legend underneath is "a Harmless
Explosion. and the Senators are rep
resented as dancing about in high glee,
forming a circle hand-in-hand around
the exploding globes. Nast's cartoon in
Harper's Weekly is almost equally as
good, = an unusual distinction for Mast
in these days. He represents Conk-
ling as a discouraged looking sheep,
carrying his tail, marked Plat" we'll
between his legs, and travelling the road
from Washington to New York. The
text is: Nov he's come home, leave
him alone" Chic represents Conkling
as Bully Bottom with the ass head on
his shoulders, and New York as TTtania
sitting by his side and saying:
Come, sit thee down upon this fowery bed,
While l thy amiable cheeks do coy.

LONGING.

OF all the myriad moods of mind
That through the mind come thronging,
Which one was eer SO dear, so kind,
So beautiful as longing
The thing we long for that we are
For one trdnscendent moment
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment.
Still through our paltrY stir and strife.
CLOVIS down the wished ideal,
And longing moulds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real.
To let the new life in we know
Desire must Ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will
With our poor upward striving.
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living.
But would we learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing.
An let US hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread His ways.
But when the spirit beckons;
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-satisfactiOn,
When we are simply good III thought,
Howe'er we feel in action.
