Inhabitants of Indian Territory.

The inhabitants of Indipn Territory
consist Of 10000 Indians, divided into
forty -four tribes. The Cherokees stand
in the forefront, with population OF
20,336 full-bloods and half-breeds.
They occupy q large country in the
northeastern part of the Territory. The
country of the Greeks, next in the order
of intelligence and push, numbering
$4,000 inhabitants, is in the southeast
corner. The Chickasaws, 5000 in num-
ber, are west of the Choctaws, OH the
Texas border. The Seminoles, from
the savannahs of Florida, the Sacs and
Foxes, the Pottawatomies and the
Wichitas, are in the center. The
Osages Pawnees, Nez Perces and
Poncas are in the north. The Senecas,
Wyandottes and Ottawas occupy a
small piece of land on the southwestern
border of Missouri. The celebrated
Modocs, of bloody memory, from the
lava beds of California and Oregon, are
here. The Arapahoes and Cheyennes
are on the west. The Kiowas and
Comanches and Apaches, once promin-
emily distinguished for their conquest
with tomahawk and scalping- knife, are
settled down to quiet life IN the remote
southwest part of the Territory, and
begin to bask in the early-morning twi-
light of their civilization. OF these
5000 Indians, $4,000 have adopted
citizens dress, and are engaged in the
various pursuits of husbandry and
the mechanic arts. They raise cattle,
mules, hogs, corn and cotton. The
Cherokees alone have 67, 400 cattle,
108, ,552 hogs, and 13, CAB horses. This
speaks of the industry of that people.
Three thousand five hundred and forty
nine of them are engaged in farming,
while only sixteen follow hunting and
fishing for livelihood. If Indians
had the energy, ability and push of the
white people, they would speedily get
rich in country of free and fertile
lands and no taxes, and where soil,
sunlight, rain and temperature all COM
bine to make people prosperous and
wealthy.

Anecdotes of Peter COoper.

Peter Cooper was the richest man in
New York, richer than the Vanderbilts,
Goulds and other money-grabbers, on
the principles of the old epitaph
"What 1 kept, that lost; what / gave
away, that / had" He was imposed
upon in his charities, but never al
lowed his anger to prevent his further
generosity. Two young bank clerks
succeeded in getting money from him
just to prove that they could success
fully play upon his sympathies. They
were debating whether to send it back
or to give it to charitable institution.
Mr.. Cooper learned of the trick and al
lowed report to reach their ears that
he had taken out warrant against
parties unknown for obtaining money
under false pretenses, and placed it in
the hands of detectives. They both
took vacation and wrote letters of
apology to Mr. Cooper, asking him to
overlook their foolish conduct and al
low them to return home. After leav-
ing them in suspense few days, Mr..
Cooper sent for them, gave them a
fatherly lecture and let them go. Mr..
Cooper once offered to discount mer-
chants note for three years at the rate
g per cent. month"; which he was pay
ing brokers for six months accommo-
dation. The merchant was overjoyed
and agreed. "Very well." said Mr..
Cooper; "just sign this note for $40, 900,
payable in three years, and give me
your check for $500 and the transaction
is complete. bat whore is the money
for me?' asked the astonished mer-
chant. "You don't get any money!"
was the reply. "Your interest for thirty
six months, 3 per centum per month,
amounts to 10S per centum, or so. 800 !;
therefore yeur check for $500 just
makes us even" The merchant deter
mined never to borrow at such ruin
Gus rates. While riding down Broad
way, one day, the harness broke and
the coachman could not mend it. Mr..
Cooper stepped ont of the carriage,
called the coachman away, and, un-
buttoning his great coat fell to work
on the broken trace himself The
crowd watched him with interest. He
made his bitches, and, with only a
piece of string and small wooden
stick, in a few minutes repaired the
trace. After finishing his work, Mr..
Cooper spoke kindly to some young
men, explaining the advantages of being
able to help oneself. He was listened
to with respectful attention, and when
the Did gentleman stepped into his car
riage the crowd cheered and hats were
swung in his honor.

A Gratined New Yorker.

There is ferryman on the Colorado
river, not far from Austin, ,lwho is cele-
brated far and near as being the rough
est, hard-swearing, impolite man in
twenty counties, never having civil
word for anybody. A stranger from
New York, having heard of this man,
went to see him out of sheer curiosity.
He found the ferryman, and got into the
boat to cross over. To his surprise,
the man was quite civil, although not
very communicative. As the boat drew
near the opposite bank, the stranger,
who was disappointed at not hearing
some outburst of profanity, remarked
"I've heard great deal about your
abruptness, but it seems to me you are
as civil man as ever met"
"You- - bandy-lcgged, sallow-
faced fraud, are you such
pitiful donkey as to suppose that
would waste my time talking to such
cattle as you? II you give me any
more of your lip I'll lift you into tina,
river by the slack of your pants, etc.

until the stranger, whose curiosity was
fully gratified, was out of hearing

Discussing physician named Jones,
Blifkins undertook to relate how the
medicine-man had once made q great
mistake, rs follows:
Old Noxon used to have row with his
wife about three times q week. He got
cranky and made up his mind to shuttle
of, so he filled up with laudanum and
went to bed. The old lady went to
screaming. and as fast as the neighbors
came in sent them off after doctor.
Some of them went in one direction,
and some in another, and it wasn't long
before the doctors began to congre-
gate.
Smith got there first and looked the
old man over. Dead" says he, and
went away.
Then Brown came in. -Dead," says
he.
Jones was the third one in, and he
rammed stomach pump down the old
mans throat and pumped up the drug
store. Then he reversed the action OF
the pump and flooded the old man with
water. After sloshing him around for
while-same rs if he was rinsing out a
cider bnrrel-he pumped out the water
and flooded him again. Noxon wasn't
in the habit of taking so much water in
his'n, and pretty soon he began to gasp
and kick. Before morning Jones had
him all right, and went away feeling
that there was one frstGlass doctor in
the world. A few days afterward he
presented his bill.
~What's this for p says old Noxon.
"For saving your life the other
night" says Jones.
well, / didn't ask you. I never en-
ployed You, and I'll not pay it. You'd
no business coming here and jam
ming your old pump down my neck.
Brown is my family physician, and I'll
not pay anybody else"
So away went Jones to Browns office
and tried to get him to induce old
Noxon to pay the bill.
Jones, says Brown, looking out over
the top of his spectacles, Il never
thought you was bad sort of fellow,
but you've done very foolish thing,
and it serves you right to lose your
bill. It's good lesson to you, and /
hope you'll profit by it. Didn't say
he was dead?'
YES" says Jones.
Didn't Smith say he WAS dead? p
"Yes,' says Jones.
"Well, that settled it, The man was
dead, and you had no right to say that
he wasn't. When two old, experienced
doctors, like Smith and /, say man is
dead, it's unprofessional and discour-
teous for young man, beginner in
practice, 30 dispute their word. Well
forgive you this time, because of your
youth and inexperience, and will hush
the matter up for you, but be very care
full in the future and make no more
such mistakes!"

CURIOUS as it may seem, it is not
generally known by theater audiences
that the "perilous leaps terrific seal
ing of precipices" and other similar
feats which fall to the lot of the hero
or heroine of the play are in almost
every case performed by a dummy"
Thus, it is not the prima donna who, as
Amina in LA Sonnambula, walks in

the back of the stage, nor in "The Ro-

are not particularly precious. The
Boston Post tells this story of "Ma-
zeppa" performance in the old days,
which shows how this theatrical trick
sometimes results: A celebrated star
was playing the piece and had circus
rider made up to look like him to do
the riding. OF course the audience
supposed the rider to be the star. In
those days the runs up the mountain
were elaborately arranged, and the
flight of the wild horse was startling
incident. One night the horse fell with
the rider, crashing from the flies to the
stage. The curtain was rung down,
and presently the star was led before
it, staggering as though badly injured,
and said that, in spite of the fall, he
would endeavor to finish the play. And
he did so, amidst frantic applause. The
poor wretch of q rider lay in the hos
pital for four weeks.
