..The Indian may dwell with the
Caucasian for years, and live as the
white lives, but on returning to his
tribe he will fall into the habits of saw
age life, and will prefer that life,' In
dian Agent Gardler said, in an inter-
view with a reporter for the Denver
Tribune. And he instanced Chipeta,
the wife OF the Colorado Chief Ouray.
She had little communication with the
white, but her husband taught her to
live as they do. Her house was well
furnished, and provided with many
conveniences that are luxuries in bor-
der life. She always had her cook,
and her table was supplied with good
food, we'll cooked, served in an elegant
platter, and eaten with knives, forks
and spoons. Ouray died in 1880. About
year ago Chipeta married again, and
returned to the old ways Of her child
hood among her tribe. She has three
trunks full of valuables stored away in
the agency warehouse. One of them is
filled with silverware presented to her
by the ladies in the cityo Washington.
For these she has no use.

The Ugly Alaska Mummy.

It is not at all pretty. Externally, it
is bundle about two and half feet
high of clayey- looking leather, corded
to show what is inside. Around the
opening appears a fringe of birds
feathers, large, coarse, matted and
dirty. Within the fringe is the ,defunct
Alaskan, in desiccated and more or
less battered condition, His knees are
drawn up to his chin; his arms are
jammed to his sides and folded down
in front of him, so as to make him rs
compact bundle as possible. He is
lacking in cheek, has no nose worth
mentioning, and his eyes are gone, but
he seems to be grinning. His flesh has
dried and dropped off here and there,
exposing his bones. If shaken out of
his envelope and handled little rough
y he would probably go all to pieces.
His hair, which is black, coarse,
straight and short, is the best pre-
served part of him. In point of color
he varies in spots from light pipe-clay
to dark sepia, with dull red tinge
here and there.
This said Prot. j. B. Holder, sis
very good sample of the Alaskan
mummy; as good, guess, as anybody
has or is likely to have. They are all
like that. The body has not been evis-
cerated or put through any enbalming
process, but has merely been bundled
together as compactly as possible. tied
up tightly in the skins of birds or seals,
and slowed away in caves or creyices
among the rocks. No ornaments, tools,
implements of war or the chase, or
anything else is ever found packed in
with. those mummies, or even deposited
near them. Possibly articles Of per-
sonal property are so hard TO get
among the Alaskians that they think
the living cannot will spare such things
to the dead. The Chinooks bury beads,
shell ornaments, and other with their
dead, making their mummies somc7
times quite gay-that is, for mummies
but among the Alents, nothing that
pos ,esscs his osic interest, OF that
would tell the rank of the defunct,- or
when he was packed, is ever found. =

Twontv-four counties of GeOro

Twenty-four counties of Georgia
have adopted the no-fence law, and
about as many more counties are dis
cussing the subject with indications
that the no-fence movement will win.
Where the no-fence law is adopted,
owners of stock are required to keep
their stock at home, under severe
penalties, and farmers are released
from the excessive burden of fencing
their fields, in order to keep off their
neighbors' cattle and hogs. Where
the law has had a fair trial of a year
or two it's merits are SO approved that
there is no danger of relapse into the
old condition, the price of land has
risen, and the profits of farming are
sensibly increased. ~a, a
