A dispatch from st. Louis. dated the
. inst, says: "Advices from the In
dian Territory say the result of the
recent leasing blythe Arapahoes and
Cheyennes Of the western portion of
their reservation for grazing purposes is
hkely to revolutionize the entire Indian
question. The rental l. nearly s63 900
per annum, payable semi-annnally in
cash and cattle. The first payment
was made few days ago at the agency,
every man, woman and child in the
tribes named receiving silver dollars,
In connection with this lease the In
dams have started in the cattle bust
ness themselves, having this week Ia
ken the initial step. They have some
500 head Of cows and heifers, with TWEEN
ty-hve FLOODED bulls on the range north
OF the Cheyenne agency. The United
States government will aid the Indians
in this enterprise, the interior depart
ment having consented 10 invest as
much i'm cattle as the Indians them
selves, and turn them into the common
herd. For this purpose congress will be
asked TO appropriate SO, 600 or slOO, 900.
With the number Of cattle now in their
possession, aud with the number to be
contributed by the government, and the
lesses ofthe grazing lands, the Indians
calculate at end Of ten years, when
the grass lease expires, their herd will be
worth S3,OOO,OOO. This will be a prac-
teal solution Of the Indian question so
far rs the Arapahoes and Cheyennes
arc concerned, as 1t will make the tribes
self-supporting. The enterprise is
warmly Endorsed by Secretary Teller,
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs Price,
United StateslAgent Hunt and Others"

in that kindling wood, or ] will
start a fire on your base burner
with this strap And then there
was a yowling such as | never
heard before, and pa said, Helen
Blazcs,' and the furniture in my
room began to fall around and
break. O, my. / think pa took
the tom cat right by the neck, the
way he does me, and that left all
the cats feet free to get in their
work. BY the way the cat squawl-
ed as though it was being choked,
know pa had him by the neck.
| suppose the cat thought pa was a
whole flock Of New Foundland
dogs, and the cat had a record on
dogs, and it kicked awful. Pas
shirt was no protection at all in a
cat fight, and the cat Just walked
all around pas stomach, and pa
yelled 'policce' and fire and turn
on the hose and he called ma,
and the cat yowled. If pa had
had presence of mind enough to
have dropped the cat, or rolled it
up in the mattress, it would have
been all right, but a man always
gets ratified in time of danger, and
he held onto the cat and started
down stairs yelling murder, and he
met ma coming up. I,guessF,ma's
n%ight-cap, or something, frightened
the cat some more, cause he stab
bed ma on the night-shirt with one
hind foot, and ma said mercy on
us and she went back, and pa
stumbled on a hand-sled that was
on the stairs, and they all fell down,
and the cat got away and went
down in the coal bin and yOwled
all night. Pa and ma went into
their room, and ! guess they anoint-
ed themselves with vaseline, and
Ponds extract, and | went and
got into my bed, cause it was cold
out in the hall, and the cat had
warmed my bed as well as it had

HIS PA GETS HAD.

II was down to the drug store
this morning, and saw your ma
buying q lot Of court plaster,
enough TO make a shirt, | should
thiuk. What's she doing with so
much court pla,tcr,' asked the gro
Gerry man Of the bad boy, as he
came in aud pulled OH his boots by
the stove and emptied ont Il lot Of
snow, ,hat had collected as he
walked through a drift, on the
hearth, which melted and made a
bad smell
80, | guess she is going to patch
pa up SO he will hold water. Pas
temper got him into the worst
muss you ever sec, last night. If
that museum was here now they
would hire pa and exhibit him as
the tattoocd man. | tell you, |
have got too old to be mauled as
though | was Il kid, and any man
who attacks me from this out,
wants to have his peace made with
the insurance companies, and know
that his calling and election is sure,
because ! am a bad man, and don't
you forget it." And the boy
pulled ON his boots and looked so
cross and desperate that the gro
Gerry man asked him if he wouldn't
try a little new cider.
"Good heavens" said the gro
Gerry man, as the boy swal' owed the
cider, and his face resumed its nat
ural look, and the piratical frown
disappeared with the cider. "Iou
have not stabbed your father, have
you! ! have feared that one thing
would bring on another, with you,
and that you would yet be hung"
Nav, | haven't stabbed him.
1t was another cat that stabbed
him. You see, pa wants me to do
all the work around the house.
The other day he bought a load OF
kindling wood, and told me to
carry it into the basement. l have
not been educated up to kindling
wood. and I didn't do it. When
supper time came, and pa found
that had not carried in the kind
ling wood, lie had a hot box, and
he told me if that wood was not i'll
when lie came back from the lodge,

going fully 10 miles an hour the en-

iug the impending danger, by super

struck the rail. The chains were

Al SCRAP or HISTORY.
From the Jonesboro Journal.

Seven miles south % JonesbOro. on
the Chucky liver, 5 ands modest lit
tie house which, TO the casual obsery-
er, has very little of interest, but to
cur older citiZans abgunds in historic
suggestions We refer to tile house in
which DR.. Taylor lived and died. This
house was built just after the close of
the Revolutionary Var by William
Colyer, who had moved into this sec
| ton before the war begun. When the
house was built, nails could not be
had, and>sO the floor is secured BY To-
Gust piaS. a strange story is told of
William COlyer IN connection witt
this house. 1t is said that he and his
wife had some disagreement about the
building of it, and the old man made
a vow that he would never go inside OF
it, and this vow he kept until he died.
On his death bed he eDj lined it upon
his family that his body should not be
carried into the house, and in pursu-
ance of this request he was laid out In
the smoke house. During all the years
of his life, after the house was built,
he was never known TO enter it, though
his family occupied it all the time. He
led the life of trapper and was from
home raost of the time. Among his
children, born in the house, was Alex
ander, In 1870, who, after the death of
his father, married aud occupied the
house Until 1873. Ameng the children
of Alexander, born in this house, was
Col. Arthur s. Coiyer, now the pro-
prieter and editor of the Nashville
AAsersctlR, AMI one of the most distin-
guished of living Tennesseans. This
house was also the bfrta place of the
grandmother of Ex-Governor A. s.
Marks. The Governor himself, we be-
lieve, vas born in Kentucky Jast
abovet the farm on which this house
stands lived Col. Colyer's other grand
father--Col. SherriIl--whO was the
brother-in-law of Gov. Sewer, and
who was with Sewer, as was also Will
liam Colyer, at the battle of Kings
mountain.
