The Cher0kees.

William P. Ross, the present Chief of
the Cherokee Indians, isa graduate OF an
Eastern college, remarkable for intelli-
gence and culture, and a fine orator.
The tribe occupies q reservation of4, OOO,
600 acres, bounded on the north and east
by Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. The
Cherokees of pure and mixed blood
number 20,336, about one-half OF whom
speak the English language, which Is the
only one taught in the schools. In the
entire male. population there are but
sixteen whose occupation is given in the
last census as hunters and five fisher
men, the great majority beng farmers.
There are 107 schools supported by the
nation, a male and a female seminary
for advanced pupils, and n orphan
asylum. There is a regularly constituted
government and an adequate adminis-
tration of Justice. In short the Cherokee
Nation is not to be distinguished from q
frontier State, except in the character OF
its inhabitants, their relations to the
general Government, and their system
Of holding the land in common, which
affords an interesting example of practi-
cal communism.-M Y. Sun.

How to Kill Cabbage Worms.

The ravages of the caterpillars of the
cabbage butterfly caused great deal OF
trouble last summer at the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva,
N. Y, particularly those of the second
Dr. August brood. In order to test the
efficacy of various reputed remedies for
the cabbage worms, the director ap-
piled them to special collections fol
worms, and noted the effects. One
specimen confined for three hours
IN a bottle partly filled with black pep.
per crawled away discolored by the pow.
der, but apparently unframed. The
second, repeatedly immersed in a solu.
ton of sa1tpeter, and a third in one OF
boracic acid, exhibited little indications
If inconvenience. Bisulphide of carbon
produced instant death when applied tc
the worm, though its fumes were not
~affectual. The fumes of benzine as wei
as the liquid caused almost instant death,
but when applied to the cabbages small
whitish e~xcrescences appeared on the
leaves. Hot water applied to the cab.
bage destroyed a portion of the worms,
causing also the leaves to turn yellow.
One ounce of saltpeter and two pounds
common salt dissolved in three gallons
of water formed an application which
was partly efficient. The most salts.
factory remedy tested, however, con.
sisted of a mixture of one-half pound
each of hard soap and kerosene oil il
three gallons of water. This vas ap.
piled August 26; an examination the fol.
lowing day showed many, if not all, the
worms destroyed.
The growing cabbage presents such s
mass Of leaves in which the caterpillars
may be concealed that it is hardly pos.
sible to reach all the worms at one ap.
plication. 1t is of importance, there
fore, to repeat the use of any remedy al

A Queer Religious Census.

In the colony of Victoria a census was
taken recently, the religious returns OF
which present some curious features.
Nearly 800, 600 persons claim to belong
to the Church of England; about 200, 600
mostly Irish-were Roman Catholics.
The other Christian sects make up about
200, 600. Eleven thousand, mostly Chi
namen, we're set down as pagans; there
was one Borrowite, one Millerite, n
Collensoite, one Theosophist; five be-
long to the Church of Eli Sands; twenty
declared they have no church at present
and no creed; three who called them
selves saved sinners; one is a believer in
parts of the Bible; two call themselves
n~eutrals; and three whose religion is
6 8. If the facts were known, it is
probable hat the last sect wa the
largest in the whole colony. 1t may be
said that in this religion there are three
persons but no God. What a pity it is
that in our census there is no enumera-
ton of all the odd sects which are IN
vogue among usl-Demorest's Monthly.

Eucalyptus Trees and Malaria.

About 100, 900 eucalyptus trees have
been planted on a large tract of land in
the Roman Campagna by the Trappists,
to whom the tract was granted by the
Italian Government. The vast marshes
in the vicinity of Rome have exhaled
deadly vapors for many centuries, and
no device hitherto employed has dimin.
ished their malarial influence. But the
planting of eucalyptus trees has already
made Ire Fontane the abbey of the
Trappists, habitable throughout the
whole year, although the monks have
heretofore been compelled to desert ii
during the sickly season. The result
has excited the wonder of the Italian
Government, and intelligent people ev-
erywhere are discussing the importance
of introducing the eucalyptus in every
malarial region where it will grow. The
tree is useful for building ships and
bridges, and also for railway ties, and
as its growth is rapid the considerations
in favor of its introduction are many.
The eucalyptus thrives in France, Spain,
Portugal and Italy, and in Australia il
Is especially fourishing. 1t may MOI
prove adequate for the REMOVAL of the
box of q%uinine pills from the pocket OF
every resident of New Jersey, but it will
certainly thrive in the south, where its
influence is so much needed to counter
act the miasma which produces deadly
fevers and devouring epidemics.-N. Y.

THEY'RE ERAID.

Some people can never get on,
Let their chance be as good as it may;
They stammer and shuttle and stick
Where others will dash right away;
They say its for want of q cheek,
n the world isn't properly made,
it's pluck and not cheek that they want,
Yes, the truth of it Is, they're afraid.
There's many q man with good hands,
That can work with true strength and true
skill,
Gets shunted aside Just because
He'll not push where another man Will;
He sweats and he groans In the mud,
And lets himself sink into shade,
Yet he might have been famous and rich,
II ne hadn't been soft and afraid.
There are men who are upright and true,
Who shut themselves in their own dem
They daren't step into the front,
And take up their stand there like men;
They I've and grow rich out of sight,,
And never are known but in trade,
Yet they might have been honored and bleSt
If they hadn't been still and afraid.
Stand up, then, and don't be put dow
By cheek and by swagger and brag,
For a man should stick up for his rights,
Whether wealthy or not worth a mag"
The God that made one has made all,
One Heaven to us all is displayed,
And If q man does what Is right
There's no one need make him afraid.

Flowers in Potatoes.

A gentleman from Utica in Louis
vile, who wished to send some beauti
full flower buds to his wife, was at a loss
how to do so. A florist friend said ht
would fix them. He cut a potato int.
two pieces and bored holes in them int
which he inserted the stems of the buds
and placed them in a box with cottontt
support them. A letter from the recip
lent acknowledged the remembrance
and said that the buds had developed
into full-blown flowers. There is suffi
Gent moisture in a good-sized potato tt
support a flower for two weeks in {
moderately cool temperature. Flowers
from bouquets or baskets may be pre-
served in the same way. The potatoes
can be hidden by leaves or mosses.-

An Accurate Time.Piece.

While on the subject Of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seer a letter from the Com
mander of the Gordon Castle castle
line of Steam Packets, who was fortu-
nate enough to save life at sea, and who
for his gallant conduct was presented in
September last with a Gold Keyless
Waltham Watch by the President OF the
United States, on behalf of the London
Local Marine Board. Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: When
I left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, a most ex-
traordinary performance for a watch, as
I carried it on my person the whole
time. I compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out. and it
seldom or ever differed one second from
them; in fact, / found it almost, if not
as good as my chronometers, which is a
great deal to say for a watch carried
about and subject to all kinds of jolts."

eyes, thinking she must be under som
optical illusion, but when she locke
again it was all still there. What she
saw was, shortly, this-and it was little
wonder that she was ~bewildered with
widest astonishment; she beheld the
Countess grave open, and at the side OF
it stood Fitine, the farmers wife, with
a great glittering mass of something
which looked like a heap of gold and
silver lying at her feet. Babette's "a
tionalistic principles forsook her most
treacherously and melted away like
morning mist; the notion suddenly
flashed across her hat Fifine was a
witch and she sank insensible to the
ground. Pierre's love was stronger
than Pierre's fear; having heard Ba-
bette cry out as she tainted, he came to
her help, though she was lying in the
very CLEANS of the mysterious light.
When she came tt herself in the house
whittier he had borne her, Babette was
so far touched by his devotion that she
promised to become his wife nextmorn-
ing and kept her word. On the very
morning after Babette's vision Fifint
and Maurice disappeared from thei1
farm in a sudden and mysterious man
ner.
Not until many years after, when
political changes in France allowed of
the return of the Florion family to their
native land, was the whole strange story
with regard to them and their servants,
Fifine and Maurice, cleared up. 1t was
then publicly known that the young
Countess was not dead, and that the
money and plate and jewels of the fam
lily had been buried instead of her body
in the old church at Verreville. The
fact of the Countess being regarded as
dead had, moreover, enabled her to
carry out with greater safety a scheme
for her husbands escape. When things
had grown a little quieter in France,
Maurice and Fifne disinterred the buried
treasure and conveyed it to his master
and mistress in England. The whole
had been invented and carried out by
the courage, wit and devotion of Fine,

ing, she pushed her true knight without
further ceremony through the door
which she had opened.
On went Pierre, his teeth chattering
and his heart beating in unison, the
moonlight as it stole through the long
narrow windows of the old house, play
ing strange, uncanny games with him
as he went. Now a dark, gigantic
figure seemed lurking in yonder corner,
now a pale hand beckoned to him in a
moonbeam, now the shadows formed
themselves into a long black procession
which came to meet him. With care
fully held breath, and feet hat scarce
dare tread, he passed near the corridor,
where he knew, from Babette, hat the
servants room lay; but to his joy and
relief he heard no sound there. The
family portraits as he passed them in
the long gallery, came to life, now and
then, in a ray of moonshine and glared
at him; the wind whispered something
mysterious and startlingto him through
every keyhole; the rows of chairs in the
for a party of ghosts. But the worst of
all was that, carefully as he had been
schooled beforehand by Babette as to
whereabouts of all the valuables in the
chateau. he got nothing for his pains.
