district remained unchanged under this
administration, yet he declares there
has been great complaint The Democratic
members were kept so busy last winter, looking
after places for constituents, that he does not

till the lecturer described the portion of the bat
tie she seemed to study He said: 1.-The conflict
here can only be likened to features of the battle
at Gettysburg, and the dash made at this point
is said to have equaled the famous Picketts

Instantly the lady's face was aglow with lex

view of the audience. Then it was discovered
that she was the widow of General Pickett, that
dashing Virginian who led the confederate
charge at Gettysburg which makes a chapter in
history The lecturer did not know the lady,
and her identity was made known by accident
Mrs. Pickett is now living here. She is borne

the relatives of renowned soldiers on both sides
of the late war are in equal obscurity here now.

Land Aristocracy Among Red Mon.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia Washington special to the
Sun says: 'One of the most striking passages in the
annual report of Commissioner j. d. O. Atkins
which has just been printed, shows the workings Of
Indian landed arstocraoy under the present tribal
system Of holding reservations. It appears that the
chief cultivation of the tribal lands is done by few
rich and enterprisng red men, who pocket all the pre-
ceeds and pay no rent to the tribe as q whole. OF
their plea is that If any other members Of the
tribe choose to till their lands they arg at liberty to
do so; but it appears that in the Indian Territory
where some very large aggregate crops are
raised on lands held in common by party-civilised
tribes the weather. and influential Indians have
monopolized the best lands, and much more than
would be their share under equal division in
atty. Commissioner Atkins, accordingly points ont
that the present system of land tenure among the
red IS working very badly, and that the govern
ment ought to intervene and divide the land held In
the Indian Territory into lots of 160 for each
head of family, and half as much for each minor
child The general impression derived from Commits
sioner Atknss report is that the present system Of
Indian landholding is very imperfect and unwse, and
that Congress should promptly substitute one which
