THE KANSAS AND ARKANSAS
VALLEY ROUTE.

The act Of congress granting the
right of way through the Indian
Territory seems to have received
the approval of the president and
is, therefore, a law. The contem-
plated route is through the Chero-
kee nation, from Van Buren,, Ark. +,
TO Arkansas City, Kansas. As
usual IL seems, Mr.. Bdshyhead is
straddling things, and TO be certain
that he is right he is for and against
the road. He files protest against
the act with President Cleveland,
and from what the president says
about an uprising Of the Cherokees,
tomahawks, scalping knives, bor-
der warfare, and the indiscriminate
slaughter Of women and children
Of the adjoining states, the old
fellow must have laid it on rather
thick. And, like the Arkansan
who wished to enjoy the fun of bet
ting on a horse race, without the
possibility of losing anything, and
that he could boast he had won so
much, he declares himself to SEN
ator Berry, Of Arkansas, in favor of
the road, and that it would be a
great benefit TO the Cherokees.

A snowbird Vanquishes a Mouse.

from me h0oktd110 (lhe.l Optn9On.
A few days ago Mr.. A. J.. Vaughan was
watching flock OF small dark-gray snow
birds. Those who have seen them know
how diminutive they are. The little brood
had lighted on the snow, and was fitting
from one place to another, peoking at the
stray seeds that lay scattered about.
Their antics were watched by Mr.. Waugh
an with much interest. Presently a
mouse emerged from his winter quarters
beneath the snow and ran along on the
bank. Instantly one little snowbird, not
heavier, perhaps, than the mouse, but full
of courage, swooped down on the mouse
and pitched battle. "Then," said Mir.
Vaughan, "there ensued one Of the most
interesting encounters l ever beheld. The
bird alighted on the back OF her adversary
spitefully. The mouse defended himself
the best he could, and twice threw OF his
winged foe. The bird renewed the attack
savRgely, and by well directed blow de-
stroyed the sight Of one OF the mouse's
eyes; but the little fOur-footed creature
did not give up the battle even then, and
not until IL had lost sight of both eyes
did Il succumb. The bird was victor,
and, seizing her victim by the extreme tip
OF the tail she arose, not without much
difficulty, and, holding fast TO the mouse,
few into the top Of a tree some 200 feet

Prof. Couas is at the head Of the Amerl-

try manages the affairs OF the Theosopnl-
cal Society. on this board are also Dr. j..
ID. Buck. physician Of Cincinnati; Gen.
A bner Doubleday, l.. 5. A.; Thomas NJ.
johnson. Of OsCeOla, Mo-; Mr.. Judge
and others. Branches OF the society have
been established for some years and are
reported in good condition in Cincinnati,
Chicago, Washington, Boston, Rochester
and st. Louis.
The new revival of the New York branch
promises TO be an enthusiastic one. One
or two attempts have been made before
now TO kindle this enthusiasm since the
original Lamasery was broken up. but
they have been futile for various reasons.
Now, however, under the influence OF re-
cent adVlces from India, and owing to a
renewed determination by the American
Board of Control to reviyify the original
plant, 1t Is thought that something like
hrst hush Of enthusiasm will be realized.
AT the next meeting Gopal Ninayak
Joshee is to deliver an address on TheOsO-
ply In America and India, and few in
Yited guests are expected to be present,
though, as Is well known, the society is
secret one. Mr.. Joshee is now located in
Philadelphia, where his wife, Anandabbai
Joshee, is studying medicine.
After time public meetings are TO be
held, and a library, the nucleus OF which
is already secured, is TO be gathered in
the permanent rooms which are to be
taken in the spring. The publication OF
certain pamphlets has been undertaken
and that OF a periodical is under discus
SION. Money for all necessary purposes
has been promised, and there seems to be
at last a solid foundation for active
work
