Chicago capitalists have been negotiating
with the Cheysnnes and Arraphoe tribes of
Indians for lease of 2,400, 600 acres Of land
for grazing purposes in the southern part Of
Indian Territory. TIE lands, being unayail.
able for agricultural purposes, have been

considered the proposition fayorabjy, and
have laid the matter before the Secretary of
the Interior. They ask that a fifteen year
lease be given to the company, and that the
annual rental (about S5O,OOO) be applied to
the purchase of stock for the Indians, and to
supplement their present relssions. It is
believed that the Interior Department will
consider the proposition favorably.

A WOMAN'S LUCKY SPECULATION.

A Chicago lady, whose husband $ d grain speculator, was in New York a month or two ago and put her pin money in the market Just at this time came the recent famous corner in the Chicago Board of Trade, and the hus- band was badly caught, and over the wires to his wife came the news of his financial embarrassment. He was in a big hole and feared he couldn't get out. Up bounced the stock upon which she had placed her money, and profits to the extent of several thousand dollars were subject to her call. It did not, so the story goes, take her long to call it, and even less time to place it by telegraph as ready cash to the account of the em- barrassed husband, who was thereby saved.

STRANGE RESCUE FROM SLAVERY.

some sixty years since q Bank of England e note was paid into d Liver pool merchants office in the ordinary course of business On holding it up to the light to test it's genuineness, the cashier saw some faint red marks upon it. Examining them closely, he traced some hali-eflaced words between the printed lines and upon the margin oi the note, written apparently in blood. After long and minute scrutiny he made out the words: elf this note should fail into the hands of john Dean, of Lodghill, near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his brother is languishing prisoner in Algiers. " The merchant immediately commun- catcd with Mir Dean, and he lost no time in bringing the matter before the Government Enquiries were set on foot, and the unfortunate man dis covered and ransomed. He had been @ slave to the Dey of Algiers for eleven years, when the message he had traced with q splinter of wood dipped in his own blood, renched the Liverpool count ing house. Liberty, however, came too late; the priyations and hardships of the galleys had sapped his strength, and, although he was brought home to England, it was but to die.

Professor Newton publishes the very interesting information that "the earth receives about three billion of meteors every year, but they only increase the size of the earth one inch in one hun dred years" That, of course, don't include the number of meteors a man sees floating through space after he has steeped on an orange peel and emphat- ically and suddenly laid the back of his head on stone sidewalk. No man has yet been able to coInt them.
 A health journal says: "Too thick underclothing causes unnatural redness in the face and nose" We never heard it called that name before. Perhaps if the editor of the health journal was to dilute his "underclothing" with a little water before swallowing it, the un- natural color would not manifest itself so prominently.

EVILS OF GosSIP. - Can the evil wrought by gossip be estimated? We think not. A wise woman can scarcely say too little in company if the conver- sation trenches in the least on scandal Many social, nobleminded woman has been obliged to withdraw herself from a neighborhood intimacy, which would have been pleasant otherwise, because her remarks are returned by some idle tale, so perverted as to make her doubt the existence of genuine friendship, and accept loneliness for the sake of the safety it brought. You say We must talk "about something" Yes, and through that very fact We see remedy for the evil, to so thoroughly interest ourselves in other and better things that we find no space for our neighbor's af- fairs. Let us talk of our work, our homes, our house-plants, our books, or our babies. Let us teach our eyes to find beauty everywhere, while we blind them by constant watchiulness to blcm- ishes. Never, under any circumstances cast the first stone. Then, if any erring neighbor goes down, you cannot blame yourself for assisting the downfall. = Selected.

OUR FOREIGN CATTLE.RAIsING COM
 PANIES,

The development of cattle raising in
 the West is still rapidly progressing.
 English and Scotch capital is already
 largely invested in the business, and
 recent English papers tell of the forma- ton of large number of other cattle raising companies having chiefly in view the prosecution of the industry on our Western ranges. Of a list of seven teen such lately organized enterprises, representing q capital of S20 $50 ,0O0, all but one intend to operate in this country. They have nearly all been formed in the last three or four months and in soliciting investment, the prosPec- tuses of nearly all have dwelt upon the success of the Prairie Cattle Company which lately announceda a first dividend of over 27 per cent. These foreign cattle companies are fast gaining con- trol of this industry in the Far West, either by appropriating large ranges ol by purchasing the herds and "plant" oI American stockmen. It looks now as if Uncle Sam's wide pastures from the Gulf to the Canadian line would ere long be doing more for the enrichment of Englishmen and Scotchmen than O
 Americans. Is the arrogant dishonesty of the "cattle kings" towards smaller stockmen and neighborirg agricultura settlers of native or foreign origin? The Land Office records, the columns o local papers, the observation of intel
 ligent visitors to the ranges all tell 0 the highhanded manner in which thes, potentates often fence in large areas O the public domain. closing public road

CARE OF THE EYES. Continual read ing is apt to injure the eyes. Such reading as confines the eyes without in- terruption to the page is more injurious to the eyes than such as requires occa- sional pauses in order to keep up with the scope of the thought. Novel-read- ing is harder on the eyes than history or philosophy. broad page taxes the eyes more than Il narrow page, unless it is divided into two or three columes. Writing is easier for the eyes than copy ing, as in the latter work one must read as well as write and compare the copy with the original. Reading on the cars, or when in motion, is injurious to the eyes, as they are strained in trying to overcome the shifting of the page. Reading in an uncertain, changing or flickering light is trying on the eyes. and should be avoided

VERY ApPROPRIATE.-A prominent army officer, whose command is sta toned at San Antonio, and whose name we charitably suppress, recently passed through Austin, returning from leave of absence, and dropped into Marks photograph gallery to have his picture taken. Mir. Marks brought some books to place on the table beside which the officer was to sit during the process.
 "Here, none of them!' said the soldier, "books have too much of the civilian looks about them"
 "But, my dear sir" remonstrated Mir. Marks, "it will hardly look well to have the table bare"
 "It won't eh ?" said the officer, "then put pack of cards, bottle of whisky. and some glasses on the table. And, there must be only very little liquor left in the bottle. ."- Texas
