Prof. Vambery, the distinguished Eng
lsh traveller, is of the opinion, as report
ed by cable, that war between England
and Russia is inevitable; that if the
Amer of Afghanistan consents to an
English railway from Sidi to Herat, hostili-
ties will commence within a few weeks /;
and that if Russia has been able to get
soldiers secretely across the Caspian sea,
war may begin directly. He also says that
the Afghan question is mainly who is will
ing to give the richest subsidy to the
est bidder.

The commission to appraise lands for
the Niagara Park reported to the New
York legislature that the claims amount
ed to SO, 100000 but that the total of the
awards is less than 81 ,434,0 600 Add to
this $266, 200, the estimated cost of clear
ing the land from distractions, and pre-
pairing it for park, an appropriation of
81, 10000 will be needed to redeem the
Falls from base surroundings and to pre-
serve them for all time in u manner hon
orable to the country. This is less than
one-tenth of the sum already squandered
on the new capitol in Albany, and it
ought to be voted.

Among the leading politicians | hear a
good deal of talk about Nermont's prom
inence in political way being much
greater than her geographical size war
rants. One of her Senators is chairman
of the judiciary committee of the Senate,
and for three years has been acting Vice
President, while the other Senator is
chairman of the finance committee, and
now one of her Democratic sons receives
the most important post in the foreign
service of the country. Congressman
Stewart of Vermont, said to me on this
subject at should make no difference
whatever, whether man comes from II
small State or Il large one, If he is the
man for the place he is called to fill. But
there is always cry that the large States
should have all the big places and the
small States only the little places. The
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland on the part of
certain Democrats is almost wholly be-
cause he has made his selections with ref
erence to men rather than geography
Senator Sherman shares something of this
idea, which is an Ohio idea as well.

1t is plain enough, from the comments
of the English press on the administration
of Mr.. Cleveland, that some English lead
ers of opinion have not yet outgrown their
sympathy with the Democratic party in
this country. The same England which
wanted to see the United States divided
and jeff Davis President of n slave-holding
confederacy, is not displeased to see the
Democratic party in power again, even
with such conservative Democrat as Mr.
Cleveland at the head of the administra-
ton.

The Fenians are, it seems, taking live
ly interest in the affairs of England in
different quarters of the globe. When FL
Mahdi (who, they vow, is an Irishman)
was ON top of the heap, they were all ca
gerness to go and help him, but now that
the Celtic Oriental is falling into the
background, and Riel the half-breed is
coming to the front, the Fenians have
given up the idea of a desert expedition,
and are turning their faces toward the
Canadian wilderness. If Riel keeps on as
he has begun they may venture to take a
hand with him.

Another instance of careless legislation
by the last Congress has just been brought
to light. 1t appears that on March last
Mr. Blair introduced in the Senate bill,
granting pension to John NJ. Milton. 1t
was passed and sent over to the house.
The records show that the lower branch
never considered it, yet the bill was en-
rolled, signed by Senator Carlisle, and
sent to the President and approved by
him. On its face it bears all the evidences
of being law. Clerk of the House Clark
has notified Secretary Lamar of the facts
in the case and now we shall see, if John
Milton must go without his pension sim
ply for want of a vote on it in the House

The title Of the act is an index
OF lie intent. The law plainly pro-
vides for the disposition Of GER
tain lot Of walnut logs seized by ex-
ecutive authority. The logs are
mentioned in section one. They
are referred to as "such logs" as
"heretofore described" as "seiEed
and sold," and as "said logs" in
all the sections Of the act, and if
The rules Of grammar cut any caper
in Cherokee law, the act is special
and covers only the logs mention
ed in section one. Mr.. Morgan's
logs were seized and sold long
after the law was enacted. Anoth-
er proof that it is special is the
placing of the suits provided for in
the act within the jurisdiction of
the district court, which is wholly
inconsistent with our established
Judiciary, as the amounts in
volved in the real value of the logs
ran into thousands Of dollars.

EDIToRs OF INDIAN CHIEFTAIN:-
In your last paper you published
communication from *** under
the head Of "Go Work in
my Vineyard" l, who have lived
among the Cherokees for more
than three score years and ten,
do wish to investigate and there
fore ask that he point out the
section of country, if any such
exists, (Which l deny) where q
lawful marriage is an exception
among the people. Also where
women are changed so often that
you may not be surprised to find a
new one presiding after a weeks
visit. suppose that the three
star man not only saw stars, but
sights that others do not see while
travelling; and he must be a
Christian as he breaches morality.
One of tho commandments says
"Ihou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor." / believe
in stopping gambling and immor-
ality, and l believe there are en-
tirely too much Of both in this
country. But that in six hours
ride of any place in Cooweescoowee
district such looseness of morals
prevail as is asserted, l do not
believe and challenge this star
gazer to define section by bounda-
ries so he can be contradicted or
can establish his wild assertion.
In some cases he will find what he
in his wisdom says is not a lawful
marriage, is a lawful marriage.
Cohabitation as man and wife by a
couple is a marriage here among
citizens, and the holding them
selves out to the public as such
also has been decided in various
states of the union as marriage
enough to govern property and
legitimacy of children.
Let your correspondent resur-
vey his ground; tear down his
assertions or establish them, and
if he persists in maintaining their
correctness let him sign his name
so that an intelligent people may
know who is misrepresenting them.
While / believe calling in a minis
ter or official to perform the mar
riage ceremony is best, yet all who
do not are not guilty of living to-
gether without a legal marriage.
In such cases it not infrequently
happens that they live together
just as happily and are as true to
one another as those who have had
the ceremony read to them, and l
doubt if there are as many or more
frequent changes Of life partners
than among those where ministers
first and divorce courts and law
yers afterwards, get in their work.

Who adopted this man?


Two Indians in a village near
Quebec were recently discussing the
form ofthe earth. One affirmed that
it was round because men had trav-
eled in a straight line and come
back to the same place. To this il
was replied that men were apt to
travel in circles, as they often do
when lost. Then it was urged
that white men said so, and they
knew more than the Indians, but il
was answered, white men often lied
as the Indians very we'll knew. A
practical philosopher solved the
whole difficulty by driving a stake
into the ground and placing an
apple on it at night. In the morn
ing the apple was still there to his
great satisfaction; whereas. he said
if the earth had revolved in the
night the apple would have fallen
off.

only requires enough wire and two

you wish to connect; then get FIVE
pounds Of common iron stove-pipe

then draw il tight TO the other box,
