IelegraDhing From ShinS

The idea of telegraphing from ships at
sea is not new one, and crops up from
time to time. Mid-ocean telegraph sta
tions have been proposed, and will prob
ably be carried out some day. The chief
difficulty in the way of their adoption
has hitherto been the necessity of keep
ing the ship connected by branch cable
to the main cable lying on the bottom,
and anchorlng her so as to maintain this
communication in all weather and depths
desirable. But Prof. A. e. Dolbear has
proposed plan which may render this
fixed communication unnecessary. A
large metal plate attached to an insulated
conductor is lowered from the ship to
the bottom on the track of the cable, and
another plate is merely submerged.
Between these two plates battery and
Morse key are inserted On working
the key the Morse currents induce other
| currents IN the cable, which n-be heard
in telephones attached to the cable on
| shore.

The first trial OF baseball by electric
light, on the league grounds, at Fort
Wayne, Iud. between the Quincy North
western League Club and the College
Club, was witnessed by 1000 people.
Seven innings were played, the score
being 10 TO II in favor of the Qulncys.
Seventeen electric lights were suspended
and the heavens presented a weird APP
peaIauce. The pitcher and catcher were
enabled TO work fairly, but the outtield-
ing was unsatisfactory, owing to the In
sufficient number of lights used.

An Old Story shaken Tn.

From the burlington Havkeye.l
As Queen Elizabeth, attended by Sir
Walter Raleigh and retinue of gilded
courtiers, vas one day walking through
the streets of London, she came to a
particularly muddy spot, which she
hesitated to cross. Raleigh was about
to throw down his cloak before her in
order that she might cross dryshod,
when he reflected that it was of costly
velvet lavisbly ornamented With old lace,
and so would infallibly be spoiled. Ac-
cordingly, with great presence of mind
he whispered loudly to Sir Christopher
Hatton that he always contended, and
would with his hearts blood maintain,
that her majesty had the smallest feet
and neatest ankles in the world, and that
the calumnious report that she wore
eleyeDs was malignant invention of the
Spanish court. Nor did the ruse fail of
its effect, as the virgin queen, lifting her
royal skirts with almost exaggerated en-
thusiasm, went through the puddle with
characteristic resolution, and, hating on
the farther side, shook her scepter under
the nose of the Spanish ambassador, de.
mandipg of the astonished diplomat,
with a royal oath:
Are they elevens, you Romish dog
Are they elevens ?"

The Cock and the Canvas.

portrait Of IL large-sized game-bird for a
patron, the pet bird suffered good deal
from the domineeriug spirit of his larger
companion, and got so that he could
nevet see him without flying into a rage.

scream of rage he gave one leap, and fly
ing ut the picture planted his spurs into
it again abd again before he could be
restrained The next TIME tie was eisen
an opportunity to repeat the attack; and
for some time it was the almost daily
amusement of the artist and his friends
to witness these impromptu cock-hghts
between a live bird and dummy. At
last oue day the little fellow, resting a
momeutfrou an unusually spirit edattack,
happened ih g0akiDg his bend to one side
to get lock behind the picture. He
was for a filomtnt dtmfounded. Then
he looked ii front and saw his old enemy
as large as life; another glance behind
ard be WAS more than ever puzzled. He
then deltbt ralely walked behind and
around the picture several times, care
fnlIy surveying it, and finally with a
sp teful hirt and with an air OF disgust
that would have dope credit to human

THE TERRITORY CATTLE QUESTION

The order issued to stockmen by Indian
agent TUFTS, directing them, by authority
Of the u. ). Commissioner Of Indian Aft
airs, to remove all improvements they have
made, by the Isl OF February, 1883, appears
In another column. II was referred to in
the INDEX Of last week. Cattlemen are
considerably worried over the order, for
while they do not expect to move so sud-
denly they do anticipate inconvenience.
The order seems to have been brought
about by an attempt on the part OF the
Standard Oil Cattle Company to fence in a
large range which is, and has been, Occur
pied by small stockholders who have paid
taxes to the Cherokee nation for the priyi-
lege Of holding cattle in the Territory.
If this order holds good il is virtually
an acknowledgment that the Cherokee
council nor their agents have the right to
lease the lands or collect a tax for stock
grazing on their territory. Should the
order be carried ont under this view, the
uneasy spirits along the line will argue that
they have right to locate upon the lands,
and inside ofthirty days after the stockmen
have been driven out the lands now In con-
troyersy will be covered with meu anxious
TO find homes in the much-coveted Indian
Territory--such rush as could only be
avoided by placing more troops OH the line
than the United States has at its disposal at
present.
This order is exactly the reverse of all
former Ones on the subject, for stockmen
have heretofore been notified that unless
they paid the grazing tax demanded by the
tax collectors Of the nation, they would be
removed by the military. A tax receipt
has been all that wis necessary to insure
peacenble possession of the territory allot-
ted to them by Indian agents having In their
possession credentials showing them to be
the authorized officers to transact such bust
ness, sanctioned by the Cherokee council.
The questions presented to persons famil-
lar with the former rulings and laws Of the
Cherokee nation are, are the former treat
les between the United States and the Chero-
kee nation. giving them the right to make
laws and hold courts for their enforcement,
to be lived up to, or has some huge monop-
oily been created that will, by different
construction and ruling, get possession of
the Territory, to their own use, and to the
detriment Of the Cherokee citizen and stock
men who have mid their toxeS
There is no doubt that the Cherokee peo-
pie are getting a greater revenue from their
lands under the present leasing system than
could be derived from them in any. other
way. Cattle men who are occupying their
lands paid into their treasury
