Tradition OF the neayer Tribe.

1t Is only in tradition that the history
Of the Indian lives, and only one version
Of the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is SO true to nature that no room for
doubt can be found. Such is the fol
lowing chapter from the annals of the
Beaver tribe, which lives in the northern
part of the British possessions.
One day a young chief shot his arrow
through a dog belonging to another
brave. The brave revenged the death OF
his dog, and instantly a hundred bows
were drawn. Ere night had fallen some
eighty warriors lay lead around the
camp, the pine woods rang with the
lamentations Of the women, the tribe
had lost its bravest men. There was n
temporary truce; the friends of the chief
whose arrow had killed the dog yet num-
bercd some sixty people; it was agreed
that they should separate from the tribe,
and seek their fortune in the vast wilder
nes~lying to the south.
In the night they began their march;
s%ullenly their brethren saw them depart
never to return. They went their way
by the shores of the Lesser Slave lake,
towards the great plains which Were said
to be far southwark by the banks of the
swift-rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe Beavers never saw again this
exilcd band, but n 100 years later n
Beaver Indian, who followed the for
tunes Of n white fur-hunter, found him
self N one Of the forts of the Saskatche-
wan. Strange Indians were camped
about the palisades; they were portions

ALIEN OMNERsHIP

Among the many propositions Of land
reform, that which seems to meet with
most universal favor is the exclusion OF
aliens from the ownership of real estate.
The Knights of Labor memorialized con
eress on the subject, and nearly the whole
newspaper press of the country more or
less strongly endorses the proposition.
Excep. as to public lands, however, and
as legislating for the territories, congress-
could affect little in the desired direction.
As to the public lands, an alien is already
disqualified from attaining title from the
government, and if existing law be eva1ed
any other might be. Another point en-
thusiastic reiormers forget is. that while
laws might be made making all grants of
realty to aliens invalid-aftcr a certain
time given the grantee to naturalize-such
laws must be wholly prospective in tenor
and effect. Any retroactive measure would
speedily find itself annulled by the courts.
As to the recommendation to deprive aliens
of lands already acquired, such a proceed
ing would involve absolute coniscation for
which it would be difficult to find warrant
in the law of the land. The question of
stopping the further acquisition of land by
aliens is one very different. and upon which
there is little room for difference of opin-

GLApsroNE.s DEFEAT.

The result of the vote on the second
reading of Glad,tone's bill for the govern
mcnt Of Ireland was a defeat by a majori-
ty of thirty-which is, in fact, not far from
a victory or from assurance of victory to
come. London journals friendly to the
premier, have anticipated this result and
have been specializing upon the probable
consequence. The general conclusion
seems to be that there will be a dissolu-
ton of parliament as soon as certain nee
cssary bushes, shall have been transacted.
or if delayed longer, it will be because the
bill extending the franchise goes into eff
feet in October, and from this accession Of
voters the iricn Is of home rule have every
reason to expect to benefit, rather than
the opponents of the measure, The Daily
Ncrs, which may be supposed to speak
almost with authority, says
Taking all matters into account, and
prcsuming the defeat of the government

ton may take place on Saturday. the 2Gth

clam-n.IinE Indian. of Long Island.

Mine host Dougan OF the hotel Jerome.
at Sheepshead Bay. is not only a typical
boniface, but n devoted Archaeological as
well. lie spends most Of his spare time
exploring the Long Island creeks and
bays for relics of the lost races that once
peopled their banks, and he tells me that
he has discovered beyond a per-advcntare
that the Long Island Indians were mas
tiers of The art Of clam-baking centuries
ago. Near Sheepshead is one creek
which is banked and bottomcd with tons
Of clam and oyster shells, whose friabil-
ity showst them to have been subjected
TO the action of heat. From this he
argues that they were once roasted, and
there was none but the Indian to roast
them. Consequently the Indian must
have been n clam-baker. There is an in
,alculablc mine of this shelly debris,
which is nov being dug up
for road-builling. Ills discovery goes
far to confirm the theory of an old

tanned that Long Island was once a sort

THE COST OF TREE-PLANTlNe.


A Few Figures on the subJect-Scare
About n Timber Famine.
In estimating the value of property,
its actual cost is commonly considered a
fair measure, and yet how shall we esti-
mate an acre of virgin forest growth on
this basis: Trees from 100 to 200 years
old can not be duplicated at the asking.
Nothing on earth to-day is selling so
cheaply, ms compared with the cost of
reproduction as forest trees. Volumes
have been written urging the business of
tree-planting, even based upon its pecuni-
airy advantages. Yet, however beneficial
such an industry may prove to its pro-
%lector, or to the locality in which the
planting is pursued, its possible profit
IS totally eclipsed by the present value
and future prospect of acres of original
forest.
suppose, for instance, an acre OF land
De purchased Cor s. and planted with
crest trees, at a first cost of say $50.
Now, allowing nothing for subsequent
are and cultivation, taxes or other ex-
pcnses, let MS see what the principal and
interest would show at the end of 100
years, the average age of valuable for
sst trees. Thirty-five dollars invested at
J per cent, would, even at simple inter
st, double every sixteen years; say so
IN sixteen years, $40 in thirty-two years,
$3.50 in forty-eight years, $3.50 in sixty
four years, i'll eighty years 81, 800; in

impotence of our American people per-
NIT them to raise such century plants
on n moncy-making basis?
1t may be many years before forest
tree planting will be attempted in New
England on an extensive scale, except
through the stimulus of state or govern
mcnt bounty, or as a matter of sentiment
and regard for the public good. All good
citizens should encourage the planting
of trees, on "A limited scale, mt least, by
every land owner whose surroundings
and conditions will warrant. The scare
about a timber famine in New England
and Canada is simply nonsense at the
present day. If the timber is far ex-
hausted AS some of the orators at for
estry gatherings would nave us believe,
if the cost of reproducing timber is at
tendant upon such an expenditure of
money, time and interest as the above
figures indicate, why then is there not
ready sale of timber tracts now seeking
purchasers, in the province of Que
bee, for instance:

TnE fact that The late New York leris.
lature passed an act to abolish imprison-
ment for debt, has led to the very CHROME
Gus conclusion that imprisonment for debt
in the old English sense was intended.
whereas that relic of barbarism was long
since abolished. New York, however,
had a statute providing that where a
debtor was possessed of means which he
refused TO apply for the benefit of his
creditors, and upon which levy could not
be made, he might be sent to jail until he
should pay up. or give up his property.
The punishment was almost as much in
the nature Of Imprisonment for contempt
Of court as for debt, and in no sense re-
sembled the horrible abuse Of former
