Fraudulent Partnership.

Washington special The Indian bureau
has been p~uzzling its brains for the past week
over one OF the most intricate problems that
ership Of $500 head Of cattle. Early in the
present years grazing season certain Afkan-
sas parties drove their herds upon the Indian
lands in tina, portion OF the Indian territory
known rs Oklahoma. To protect themselves
and give their invasion the appearance Of
right they entered into partnership with an
Indian who was a resident Of the Creek ma
ton. The interior department, upon learning
of the action Of these people, directed R0oert
l.. owen, agent at the Union agency. 10 seize
the cattle and hold them until further notice.
This he did. when the Indian partner
in the firm came forward and claimed the
ownership Of the entire herd. The other
parties came forward and claimed that the In
dian had no vested title in the cattle, he hav.
ing been taken in as a partner for the purpose
above mentioned. The agent could. of course,
make no decision in the case, and referred il

Revealed Nv an Old Newspaper.

G. {. johnson, a young colorcd
printer of san Francisco, AS in his
possession a relic of considerable inter-
est, in the shape of q newspaper 10
years old. The papu. alluded to is the
Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Ad-
vertiser of October 80, 1876. 1t is yell
low with age, and nearly worn to
shreds by reason of much folding and
handling. A study of its contents re-
veals some curious facts. For instance,
one advertisement, well displayed, is as
follows:
TO BE SOFIA likely. healthy, cap
able negro lad. country born. about IL
years of age. Inquire of the printers"
Ii seems strange nowadays that any
such advertisement as the above could
have ever becn published SO far north
rs Philadelphia. The larger portion of
the journal is taken up with advertise
ments offering rewards for the arrest
and return of deserters from the colo
NAL army and navy, from which it APP
pears that all of our forefathers were
not inspired with that lofty patriotism
SO often ascribed to them. A curious
advertisement is the following:
TO BE SOLD.
The time Of n healthy servant boy,
who has been mt the tanning business,
and has upward of five years to serve
Another party offers "a reward for
the return of a red-headed, frcckled-
faced boy.
Another lad" reads rather funnily,
and one wonders how the advertiser
was possessed Of so complete an inven-
tory of his servants wardrobe. 1t is as
follows:
Ran away the first Of this instant. Septcm-
Der, from the subscriber, living in New Lon

A Little Bald Head,

New York Star: When Mr.. Irving
travels it is always EN- prince. He ac-
knowlcdges no superior, and English
men who happen TO reside in the coun-
try which he visits are forced to call
on the great actor or 90 without seeing
him except on the stage. When Mr..
Irving first came TO the United States
occurred TO him that he ought to call
on Mr.. West. the British minister. In
fact, he probably thought if Mr. West
wanted TO see him he might call at the
Arlington on the actor. Something or
other. at any rate, must have annoyed
the latter, for he evidently did not like
Mr.. West and was not disposed to be
particularly amiable toward his subor-
dinates. One of them, a party by the
name of tombstone. with IA single eye
glass and 4 transparent mind, on beng
introduced to Mr., Irving, said:
"Glad to see you, Mr.. lrying--glad
to see YOU. You know, | think you
knew my chief, you know"
.'Who is hep responded the actor in
"a drawl which made the really short
sentence appear to be very nearly as
long MS one of Mr.. Evarts'.
why, West, you know" was the
answer.

the drawl was even more prolonged
than il had been at first.

Mr.. Bayard's Statement.

The state department has issued the follow
ing: eve have made no unnecessary and un-
digniied display Of insolence and bravado
against Mexico. Mr.. Bayard made "A demand
for Cuttings release on information which be
had received from official sources. Nothing
else was done. Unless a demand Is made no
negotiation or arbitration can follow. The
demand being a declaration If wrong 20 be
amended either by negotiation or arbitration,
or, IN liz, last resort, by war, which all civil
lied nations cndcavor to avoid. After the
demand was made il was for Mexico 10 offer
terms Of settlement. or upon a reasonable pro-
test by Mexico against the demand the United
States would be az liberty 10 propose d mode
of adjustment. During Polk's administration
a serious d%iG'tuiiy arose between the United
States and Great Britain touching the Oregon
boundary, and the dispute was near involving
the two countries in war. The contest was
commenced by a demand on the part Of the
United States to have the boundary fixed star
north as lat. ~ deg. III min. The cry was
then -. 40 or tight" The demand was re-
jectcd by the British government. Lord Aber-
deem, on the part Of his government, offered a
compromise, WHICH Was bccpt'c ny thc obi-
ted States, by which compromise the line fas
drawn AT the 49th parallel. This may be the
ease TO which Mr.. Blaine refers. Here nego-
~tiations followed "A demand, and II a demand
had not been made the dispute would proba-
)ly exist at this timc. II Is not probable that
the United States would, on a refusal by
Mexico TO respond fayorably to the demands,
declare war. An methods would FIRST he re
sorted to with a view to adjust the question.
Coucclinp that Blaine and Bavari have equal
abilities as statesmen, Bayard has the adyan-
tage Of knowledge of facts, and Blaine rests
his ccnsurc on conjectures strongly tingec
with partisan spirit

at once be found; Kate had been try
ing it on the day before when she was
playing diving in the country with
every shelf in the closet So when
they arrived at the corner, to Ned's
disgust, only two melancholy camels
were still in sight; the big elephant had
gone by.
81 guess set my heart too much on
seeing the creetur," observed Aunt
Keziah, land perhaps, after all, it may
not be quite as big as my idee is.
Ned, however, was not so philosoph-
zeal, and was much inclined to comfort
himself by scolding the girls about
Aunt Keziahs bonnet.
After this there were some mysteri-
Gus consultations with Kate, whose
birthday came the same week with his
own, although she was two years old
er. He ceased to complain of girls as
''such a bother" and remarked for
the first time that it was a great con-
venlence to have the birthdays about
the same time. He had always before
objected to dumping them," for his
mother greatly preferred celebration
after Kate's wishes to his plans.
Aunt Keziah had been busy all day
in the kitchen making doughnuts and
small cakes in curious shapes for the
double birthday, when the door opened
and Ned and Kate came in very much
excited, and trying to look grave.
We have decided, Aunt Keziah,
that it will give us the greatest pleas
ure," began Kate, with dignity, but
Ned interrupted her, ''to take you to
the Zoo, and show you the elephant"
"And here are the tickets and car
fare and alln' exclaimed Kate, forget
ting her dignity, land it's our treat"
came in Ned again as chorus.
"You dear children" said Aunt
Keziah, and she actually sat down and
cried for minute.
And that was the way Aunt Keziah
went to see the elephant.-E. 4. Mos

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
THE WAY TO SUCCEED.

There is only one way to succeed, my boy;
Just buckle right down to your creed, my
boy,
And with head and with hands pitch in:
FOR the profits and gains of q great success
never come through the ways of idleness.
If your aim is mountain to climb my boy,
AND you re striving TO reach the top,
YOU must get there a FOOT at a time, my boy,
And It's often you'll have to stop;
For the mountain peaks where the snow caps
stay
Have not yet been reached in patent way.
If you wish in the forum to stand nv boy,
Ana to rule with a stateSman's power,
gu can not learn all in week, my boy,
Though YOU tell all you know in an hour;
IL you'd be a Webster or Henry Clay,
YOU must grow in tho good, old-fashioned
way.
If you would make fortune or fame, my boy,
If you would win power place,
You can not win wealth or a name, my boy,
GU II never come first in the race,
Unless you start out with q steadfast aim
To light for the triumph that you may claim
Then If you would wish to succeed, my boy,
And you'd go i'll the fight TO win,
Just buckle right down to your creed, my
boy,
And with heart and with soul, pitch in:
For there's no royal road to the goal success,
And no gains through the ways of idlcness.

A YOUNG HERO.
The Prompt, Wise Way in Which He
Saved the Life of Friend.

The Prompt, Wise Way in Which He
Saved the Life of Friend.
Every now and then we read of some
act OF youthful heroism performed by
one of our American boys, and we
learn what noble and courageous men
we have growing up among us. But
surely the following story is one which,
for undaunted bravery, quickness of
apprehension and utter regardlessness
of self in the desire to help a comrade,
is not often equaled.
1t would be easy to give the names
of the two lads in question, for they
live in town not very far away. They
are modest boys, however, and as it
may be that they do not care to have
the. story of their adventure published
too widely, we will simply call them
John and Charlie. Like all boys, they
are very fond of rambling in the
woods, hunting, fishing and enjoying
all the pleasures that nature offers so
beautifully to young people.
They were out on such an expedition
and were wandering in the neighbor-
hood of a pretty woodland stream
when John suddenly stepped on the
tail of a large and venomous snake.
The adder turned in vengeance and
plunged his fangs deep into the flesh
of the boys leg. Overcome by terror,
John tainted ard fell to the ground.
The boys had happened to be in the
act of climb ing a wall. Charles missed
his companion, and turning to look
for him saw the snake. By this time,
however, it had expended its poison
and was gliding rapidly away. In a
moment Charles had sprung to his
friends side. Without an instants de-
lay he stripped Johns stocking from
his leg, and taking out his handker-
chief tied it tightly around the limb,
just above the purple spots left by the
fangs Of the snake. Then he applied
his mouth to the wound, and with all
his strength sucked the mingled blood
and poison into his mouth.
Quick as he had been the leg began
to swell and Charles was glad to see a
farmers boy approach. He sent fo1
water, and between them they restored
John to consciousness. They then
made arrangements for getting him
home. AS soon as possible doctor
was procured, and Charles delivered
the case into his hands.
The physician does not hesitate tc
say that John owes his life to the
prompt and intelligent action of hi:
friend. There was not the interval o
a minute between the bite of the snake
and the tightening of Charles hand
kerchief about the leg. This stopped
the low of the blood while the poison
was sucked from the wound b,
Charles eager lips. Was not thi
friendship, boys, and courage and in
telligence? Which of you would hav
thought so quickly what to do? Which
of you would have drawn the adder
deadly poison from your friend
wounded limb into your own IN outh?
All honor to brave Charlie! | wisl
we could know what he will be and d.
as man. He can scarcely perform
nobler deed than that of his boyhood'
happy days, bur his life will surely b
one of usefulness and high achieve
ment in whatever he may undertake.

An Ancient Marriage Contract.

The deciphercrs of the papyri which
have been brought to Vienna from Ell
Fayum have learned from one of them
the existence of a town in Lower Egypt,
all trace of which seems to have disap-
peared for the last twelve hundred
years or more. The document is a
papyrus a little over four feet long by
one foot wide, containing marriage
contract in Greek, and is well pre-
served. The date us not given. but
Profs. Karabacek and Wesley believe
it belongs to the early part of the sixth
century. The bridegroom was named
Theon, the bride Maria. She had a
fortune of her own amounting to one
hundred gold pieces, and the future
husband engages to find for her food
and clothing, and every thing suitable
for "an ordinary legitimate wife. "
There are witnesses and a notarial
certificate. All the parties are de-
scribed as belonging to the town of
Justianopolis. The editors declare
that they can find no mention of this
place among any lists of the towns,
etc, of Lower Egypt.-M Y. Post
