The natural chief of tho Cherokee
Indians Is Mr.. Ridge Paschal, u we'll
known lawyer OF this city. Mr.. Pas
ctiat Is OF dark compleNion--as dark as
Il Spaniard and much darker than most
Cherokees. When informed Of his pa
rentage one II otes that his features arc
decidedly characteristic of tho Indian.
His mother was q Cherokee OF blood
royal; his father n white American, the
famous Judge Paschal who, with Pike
and Others, made for Van Buren, Il re-
putation as the home OF some OF the
most distinguished mon of the coun-
try. For some time ho was II member
of the Cherokee Council; subsequently,
he became editor of tho Galveston
News, the leading paper of tho State
OF Texas, and then begun practicing
law, in which vocation he is now cn-
gagged. TO majority of tho 67 men,
bers of the Cherokee Council he Is Il
blood relative, and Of tho 22, 1000 Chero-
KEGS inhabiting the Territory he can
trace blood connection with nearly
5000, while the old chiefs OF the Nation
say he IL related to half the entire
Cherokee population, or II 200 persons.
Mr.. A. Il. lvey, publisher of the
Cherokee Advocate, the national organ
of tho Cherokee Indians, Is visiting MIR.
Faschnl, of whom he Is Il cousin. He
Is OF very fair complexion, but, though
only one-fourth Indian, has features
clearly Indicative of his Indian blood.
"iow many Cherokee Indians do
you think are engaged In fishing and
hunting for living:" nskcd Mr.. Pas
chal yesterday.
"About 1907
"N on have II better idea of the Cher
okce than 900 out OF 1000 pcrsons,"
said Mr.. Paschal, "but tho number IL
is not 80 great as 100, It Is only H."
"'rhe Cherokees rs II highly civilized
as the Texans" declared Mr.. Ivey.
"Thcy have their farms, and churches
and school houses"
"They arc ahead of tho States people
as to n desire for cducation," Mr.. Pas
chal interrupted. "New York State
last year spent but $3.50 per head for
education, while the ChcrolSees spent
80. So"
'Its funny what ideas some people
have OF the ChcrOkccs. When tho
friends OF my wife heard she was going
to marry Cherokee, they expected Ia
sec n sanguinary fellow in moccasins,
leather lcggins, paint and feathers, and
were surprised when they bchcld yours
truly, Ridge Paschal, n gentleman not
without honor IN his family circle"

DEPOSITS FOR ACCOMMODATION.

The following statement of facts and
law relative to deposits in banks is ap.
plicablc to deposits with individuals,
merchants or Others, and will be of
material interest to our readers who
are accustomed to make or receive de-
posits for accommodation
There is an opinion prevalent among
merchants that tho deposit ola bank
box In bank involves q responsibility
on the part of the bank equal to y
special deposit.
Custom, so long unqnestioned. has
somehow settled it in their minds
that If their box is In bank it is all
right; the bank will keep it safely un.
til called for, or, ii lost, will pay for It.
This impression Is erroneous, being In
conflict with the ruling of bank OIL.
GERS, their express disavowal of respon.
si5ility and the decisions Of our courts.
Where neither a contract Is made. no
receipt given, nor money paid, such a
deposit is entirely at the risk of the de-
positor.
Tho decision of tho Supreme Court.
in 1873, In tho case of Levy va. Pike,
Brother 4 Co., fully settled the above
questions against the plaintiff.
The court sad "Where tho deposit
was II gratuitous ono and where the
abstraction Of tho thing deposited seems
to have been one of those bold and
adroft acts, which are carried out sue
cessfully In defiance Of ordinary pru-
denco aud diligence, the depository Is
not LIABLE" and this decision stands
uhquesttoned to this day.

KILLING MADE EASY.

In the time of Napoleon il was esti
mated that it took 600 bullets to be fired
in battle before n man was killed; in
other words, every dead soldier repre-
sented his own weight in lead. But
the recent Improvement in firearms
has added to the efficiency Of the SOL
dier. The greater range of the rifle, rs
we'll as the rapidity with which ii can
be fired, has made it thiriy-lwo times
as effective os tho old smooth. bore. TO
pnt il more accurately, n military nu-
thority says that tho modern rifle is
superior to the Old smooth-boro in tho
following particulars II Is eight
times Itfpre effective in accuracy, twO-
thirds greater in raugc and pcnctra-
ton, five times greater in rapidity OF
aimed fire; while the weight of the
cartridges per man has diminished, yet
the number that may be carried has
been increased. The added efficiency
of the heavy guns is no less surprising.
The famous krupp now makes gun
of nine inches calihcr and Gig htccn
tons weight which will send bnll
through twenty inches OF solid iron
and his field gun, within n range OF
more than mile and Il half, can be
depended upon to put every projectilc
into n space of less than two hundred
square feet. Taking into consideration
the breech loading, riiiing, better pow
der, improved projcctilcs, tho lighter
carriages OF steel, tho science of artil-
lery has been revolutionizcd; and C.ic
battery to-day is more effective than
twenty Of those so skilfully handled
by the great Napoleon. In the next
great battles some dreadful engines oI
destruction will be brought into play.
The Hotchkiss revolving gun can fire
| bursting shells at the rate of eighty u
minute. 1t can pour out continuous
| and deadly fire of seventy-fve pound:
of metal, or 1900 hits, every sixty
seconds. II is fearful to think of tn,
havoc which would be caused by tn,
guns OF the future Demorest
Monthly.

VARIATION IN THE USE or WORDS

1t will hardly be denied in any quar-
fer that the speech of the United States
is quite unlike that of Great Britain In
the important particular that here we
have no dialects. Trifling variations
in pronunciation and in the use of a
few particular words certainly exist.
The Yankee "cxpects" or calculates"
while the Nirginian creek ons :" the
illiterate Northerner "ciaims," and the
Southerner OF similar class, by very
curious reversal of the blundcr, cal
lows" what better educated people
merely assert. The pals and pans of
the world at large become "buckets"
when taken to Kentucky. 1t is "eve-
ming" in Richmond while afternoon
still fingers a hundred miles due north
at Washington. Vessels 90 into
"docks' on their arrival at Philadel-
phia, but into "slips" at Mobile; they
are tied up to "wharves' at Boston,
but "piers" at Chicago. Distances are
measured by "squares' in Baltimore,
by "blocks' in Providence. The
'shilling' of New York is the elevy"
of Philadelphia, the "bit" of San
Francisco, the "ninepence" Of old New
England, and the "escalan" (?) of
New Orleans. But put all these varia-
tions together, with such Others az
more careful examination might re-
veal, and how far short they fall of re-
presenting anything like the real dialec-
tic differences Of speech that obtain,
and always have obtained, not only be-
tween the three Kingdoms, but even be-
tween the contiguous sections of Eng
land itself! 1t ought to be remembered
also that the ordinary language of the
United States includes not greatly more
of what may be called caste variations
than of those that are attributable to
differences of localities. The speech OF
the lower orders of the people, whether
examined in regard to its vocabulary
its construction, or its pronunciation
differ from what all admit to be the
standard correctness by a much smaller

BLACKS AND WHITES.

\ few weeks ago the colored teache,
of a public school on Staten Island for
colored children became i'll, and, no
other teacher of the same complexion
being Immediately obtainable, the
School Trustees assigned Il young white
woman to the place until his recovery.
An uproar ensUed, in consequence of
which the school was closed, pending
the return of the disabled negro
teacher.
Aud what was the cause OF the
trouble: Tho colored pupils, backed
by their parents, unanimously refused,
to DO taught by u white teacher!
That is, tho race prejudice concern
ing whose wickedness and absurdity
we have long heard so much, and to
conquer which a Civil Rights bill was
passed, was manifested, not by the
white woman, but by the colored peo-
pie she undertook to serve. She did
not object to teaching the negroes be-
cause they We're black, but they would
not be taught by her because she was
white.
1t is negroes who now display the
race prejudices and draw sharply the
color line nor is the Staten Island
case an exceptional ono in these days.
Indications Of q like spirit on the part
Of the cotored people now frequently
appear both at the South and the
North, and more especially 1t tho
North. The negroes make it evident
that they wish to keep by themselves,
and do not seek social intercourse With
the whites. They oven want to be re-
cognized politically; for If we under
stand the purpose of the Globe, the
negro newspaper organ, it is to enforce
the claims Of tho negroes rs 4 people,
whom politicians must consider, and
for whose favor they must work; as
voters who do not belong to tho Re-
publican party rs n matter of course,
according to the old Republican rs.
but who will SO where they
think best, and where they will be
best treated. The Globe wants them to
doing it.
1t is becoming more and more cvi-
dent that the negroes no more care for
association with tho whites, except for
business purposes, than the whites care
for their company. That desire to
maintain their separate class existence
is so strongly manifest ut the South
that Il recent Southern medical writer,
who has given great attention to the
study of vital statistics, has prophesied
that the mulattocs will almost wholly
disappear within comparatively short
period.
And here mt the North the colored
people gather in churches of their own,
not so much because they are unwel-
come in white churches as because they
want to be by themselves, to worship
by themselves, and to listen to the SER
mons of colored preachers. Here and
there black man Or black woman
may be seen in Il white church, ii is
true; but as body the negroes do not
care to be there, and will listen to no
inducements to draw them in. And
the co!orcd people havo Il society of
their own, with which they are con-
tent.
1t is very remarkable and very sug-
gestive that tho overthrow of slavery
and the cnfranchiscmcnt of tho negroes
have apparently had the effect to make
more decided the color limo between
the whites and the blacks.

SHARK STORIES.

DR.. Swan, the surgeon of the Pacific
Mail steamship Celima, which arrived
1T this port a few days ago from the
Isthmus, reports an incident on the
trip worthy of mention. Ho says that
while the Celima was lying at Aca-
pulco, OH the trip up, she anchored one
day close to the steamship China.
Some of the hands in the latter baited
the hook and caught shark of the
man eater variety, about fifteen feet
long. The shark was pulled up, cut
open, and in the belly was found a
human arm entire, just as II it had
been torn by the monster from the
shoulder. There We're also found in
the NAV of the shark the heel and toes
of human foot. The remains had
evidently been swallowed but short
time. The arm was the left, and upon
it We're plainly visible the initials tat
toed in India ink, ga. IL. c." About
ten days previous to the taking Of the
shark, a sailor from a British brig, then
lying in the harbor, while under the
influence of liquor, fell overheard and
was lost. 1t is supposed that the shark
had been feeding upon the body Il short
time before his capture.
San Jose Joe, the monster shark of
San Jose de Guatemala, was recently
seen by the captain of the China. This
shark has for many years been the ter
ror of the coast from San Jose dc
Guatemala to Punta Arena. He has
been SO frequently seen that he is as
familiar TO the mariners OF that coast
as its most perilous headlands. He is
said to be forty feet in length, and is
extremely ferocious, human kind be-
ing his favorite prey. Capt. Seabury,
of the China, is ready to swear to forty
two feet and over, having once seen
Joe passing behind his vessel, which
is forty two feet in the beam, and the
head and tail of the shark extended
past either side of the vessel.
The captain Of the South Carolina
and Capt. Whilberry bear testimony
also to the sharks being forty feet
long.
In tho last few years "Joe,' AS he is
known al! along the coast, has devour-
ed half dozen men, and some years
ago the Guatemala Government Offer
cd Il reward of $500 to any one who
would kill the devourer. He has been
shot couple of times and harpooned
thrice, but survived these assaults, and
still roams his old haunts looking for
his favorite morceau.
Speaking of sharks, report has just
come to hand setting forth the infor-
nation that one of his family, evident
ly first cousin to Joe, as he was thirty
feet long and probably weighing five
tons, was caught at Sequel Beach on
Friday, the largest ever caught on that
coast. 1t was q specie known as the
basking.-.Sun Francisco Chronicle.
