The GIobe-DsmOcrot of ST. Louis,
No, contains a dispatch from Fl.
Smith, Ark. April 5sll, which states
that the investigation ofthe charges
against ex-Coneressnan Phillips,
Of Kansas, resulted in his complete
exoneration, and that the attorneys
for the plaintiff in the suit of BoG-
dinot against Phillips have an
nOunced their intention Of with
drawing fIom the case Aad thus
ends the ease, so FIR as the charge Of
criminal violation Of Law, by Col
Philips before the c. s. Court at
Ft. smith is concerned. And so il
should end.
The delegation had the authority
Of the government OF the Chcro-
kee Nation for making the exPen-
diture Of seven per cent Of the aP-
preparation obtained TO coyer the
real value OF the selected tracts Of
Cherokee lands west of the S6th
meridian, upon which the Pawnee,
Ncz Perces, ard other Indians were
located b. the g0TeSBment- The
appropriation was just in itself, and
the expenditure TO aid in obtaining
/. was Leither improper nor unrea-
sonable, nor has il caused any de-
gree of dissatisfaction among the
Cherokces except IN 4 few individ-
ual cases. The land belonged 10
them, IS did the proceeds. They
had the right to use a portion Of !,
for services rendered IN 4 proper
way, and nothing has been devel-
oped thus far to shOW that it was
used in any other way by any per-
son, certainly not by Col Phillips, I
who has rendered more valuable |
service to the Cherokee Nation in /
a legitimate way than all his assail- /
ants combined.

No atheist, with all his boasted

send for hiz friend, the devil, TO get
him on.

Circumcisioa.-With regard to
this we can learn but little from the
Cherokees. Sutsawi.says he has
seen Indians of another tribe, or
strangers TO him, who had been
circumcised, though he had 20 con-
xersation with them on the sub
ject. Mr.. Bsudinot, however, sup
poses that this rite has been prac-
ticed among the Indians. His re-
marks are as follows s'The In
dsaps TO the eastward say that, pre-
viOas TO the white people coming
into their country, their ancestors
were in the habit of using circEm-
cision, but latterly, not being able
20 assign any reason for so strange
a practice, their young people In

NrTsAwI (of Pine Log.)
Shield Eater had a lengthy ira
dition relative 70 their decline, fhe
substance of which Is as follows :
God directed the Indians TO ascend
certain mountain, that i, the
warriors, and he would there send
them assistance. They started, and
had assembled far up the mountain,
when one Of the warriors began to
talk about women His compan-
ion Immediately rcproved him, but
instantly a voice Ike thunder Is
sued FROM the side OF the mountain
and God spoke and told them TO
return, as he could not assist them
on account Of that sin. They put
the man TO death, vet the Lord
never returned to them afterwards.
The aniquanans unite, as far As !
have discovered, in saving that they
came 10 this continent from beyond
the sea, yet how they crossed the
great water. or from what direction
their minds appear TO be rather in
the dark only they say the Della
wares whom they call grandfather,
took the lead.
Some, however, according 10 Ko-
tisdi, say the Cherokees, with all
other tribes, came from the north
west, that l., crossed the ocean in
that direction. He says that when
young he saw q very aged Cherc-
kee woman at Greek Path, who had
been many years a prisoner among
the Delaware Indians. She said
the Delawares gave the following
account Of the red people, consid-
ering al the tribes as originally one
people. ey said they were in
great distr s before they came to
tis continent island; that they had
no land Of their own, and the wo-
men had to 70 cut 10 work and wash
for others 20 obtain q support, and
the men, also, had to get and chop
wood for Others TO support them
selves-but had no wood of their
own. and could get none, only as
they dug up rosts out Ofthe ground.
At length the red people reformed.
and became a good people, and
were then treated much worse than
before. The people among whom
they lived would take their horses
or other creatures, and put them to
their oEn use. and they could not
help themselves. They therefore
concluded they could not stay there
and came of ard crossed the sea
beyond where the ShaTnees lived.
This would be fnoIn the Greek Path
north Of west.
The ancient Cherokees used 10
say that the Indians would be
driven 10 the wet till they came
to the ocean. and then be taken
over kOTIsKI.

chief of one of them:
SO! the poor Indian" still fingers on our

Medicine Bears tribe stopped in to see MI
Gerard, and introduced himself as follows:
''You know who am, and I need not ex-
plain. l come to you hungry and tired. All
this fine land was once mine, aud loved II
dearly. 1t was filed with buffalo, antelope
and deer for the red man. The great spirit
looked down upon US and smiled to see his
children enjoying his good gifts. Now all Is
changed. The white man has come. The
buffalo, the antelope and the deer have gone,
and the red man is poor and starving
l have always been friend OF the
white man, the spirit of my father tanght me
to love the white man, yet l am now feeble
and poor. You can work and make money
and have plenty. I can not work as you do.
[ have not been taught. My children could
learn to do as the white man, but they have
no one to lend them helping hand. My
people have always worshiped the great
spirit, but he has deserted them now. Once
he filed their tepees with wampdmaskins and
meat, now they are empty and poor. l
know not what has offended the great spirit.
Some great evil must have been committed
against him that has caused him to desert his
children and leave them to feed on carcasses
Of vile dog and pony instead of the fat buffalo
Of our fathers The curse of the great spirit
is upon me and my people. Our hearts are
sad and broken.n

On the 18th Miss Laura E. Smith, of Boston,

Ho,c to Start Tomatoes.

A good deal of sport has been made over
the statement in some of the papers that
Maj. c. w. Butts, of Lisbon, plants canned
tomatoes. The fact is parties who have at
tempted to raise this favorite vegetable in
north Dakota have had trouble to get them
through to maturity. Mr. Butts has had en-
tire success, and relates his method in this
way: Take any preserving can, unsolder
the top by placing it on hot stove till the
solder melts, take off the top and unsode
the side seam. Then punch several holes in
the bottom to let superfuous water drain off,
fill with earth not too richly MANFRED. When
the plant is up after a season in a warm
place, make hole in the ground large
enough to receive the plant without disturb
ing the EARTH loosen the seam of the can,
turn out the earth as in the case of potted
plants and drop the earth into the hole, This
gives the advantage of carly plants without
transplanting. If you have no cans ayaila-
BILE turn sod wrong side up and put the
seed into the earth side. When the plants
are up cut the sod in squares and place in
holes made to receive them.
