Goats for tac Dairy,

In England they now have special breed

"SLUMMING" IN LONDON.
About the "Jolliest" Dissipation Known
to the Fashionable World

About the "Jolliest" Dissipation Known
to the Fashionable World.
"There is one English fashion which the
Anglo-maniacs have not yet succeeded in in
Producing in New York, said the European
buyer OF large silk house q few days ago,
"and that IS stunning. In London, visiting
the slulns is believed to be about the jolliest
and most fetching dissipation known to the
world. The subject has been the butt Of the
comic weekly artists Of London for some
months now, and no well-regulated member
OF society can afford to miss a Summing
party during the season.
'They do it up in great shape over there
you know. An Englishman must dress for
every expedition, no matter whether it is a
trip to Africa or q walk to the corner. In
stunning women run tn cloaks and men to
long coats. These outer garments are be-
heyed to ward off disease, though exactly how
they do it when the wearers breathe the foul
air OF the slums is difficult to imagine. When
they return to the house OF their hostess or
chaperone the young people all thro" OH
these wraps in the passage, and the wraps are
aired by the servants and returned by mes
enger the following day. supper, more or
less elaborate, follows the sum- as the excite
ment makes all hands hungry and talkativc.
There are always two policemen with tho
party. and as q rule not moro than five or
six people go along. London tramps are La
bic to prove surly and ill-tempercd when
their homes are invaded.
"T'he party starts from the hostess house in
carriages at II o'clock or perhaps midnight,
although that is pretty late, and drive to the
heart Of the London slups Here they
wander through the quarters of the poor, the
outcast and the lost ones OF tho great town,
pushing their way into rooms where drunken
louts repnisive women and scraggy and un-
kempt children lie sleeping like so many
worms in bait box. They go everywhere,
for the police do not recognize the rights Of
any of the paupers, and bang their way ruth
lessly ahead. The high born men and women
gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures, visit
their opium dens, their drinking places, dance
halls--or rather, cellaTs-and invade their
living rooms. When they've had all their
stomachs and eyes viii stand they return to
their supper. 1t never occurs to them, Of
course, that the cost of one such meal as they
discuss would lift mountain of misery and
woe from tho lacks Of the poor. they have
just visited. Philanthropy is not a proper
fad now across the water.

For % cents we will send IL until

The first offer discounts any

eral election campaign as well as
two sessions of council.

LINDSEY VS.. THE CHEROKEE

Never before in the experience
of our judiciary has there been
tried a suit at law, that presents as
many curious features as this, and
as was conducted and decided at
the regular term Of the circuit court
at Tahlequah, last Saturday. In
the first place the law, out Of
which grew the complaint, is
itself an anomaly. II we accept it
in its plain purport, and execute it
independently of a superior author
ity, as it clearly indicates it should
he, it is surely unconstitutional,
and is at war with our established
Judiciary. II invests an executive
officer with extraordinary powers
powers not possessed by our courts,
because he is not restricted in his
procedures as they are, that COM
plete justice may be secured to all
concerned, and as no values re-
strict his jurisdiction, he is more
privileged than any. Without a
jury or sworn testimony he sits in
judgment and decides cases in
which thousands Of dollars are in
rolved He issues and executes
hie own deorees, and as a bonded
officer Of the government, his bond

iormanoe Of his duties is a shame

The Highway Cow.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
One horn turned up and the other turned down.
She was keen of vision and long of limb,
With Roman nose and a short stump tail,
And ribs like the hoops of home made pail.
Many mark did her body bear;
She had been target for all things known;
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where it once had grown
Many passionate parting shot
Had left on her lasting spot.
Many and many well-aimed stone
Many brickbat of good size,
And many cudgel swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her loving eyes,
Or had bounded off from her bony back
With noise like the sound of rifle crack.
Many day she had passed in the pound
For helping herself to her neighbours corn;
Many cowardly cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her crumpled horn;
Many teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time worn tail.
Old deacon Gray was good old man,
Though sometimes tempted to be profane
Wnen many weary nile ne ran
To drive her out of the growing grain;
Sharp were the pranks she used to play
To get her fill and to get away.
She knew when the deacon went to town;
She watched him wisely as he went by;
He never passed her without frown
And savage CLEAN in each angry eye.
He would crack his whip in a surly way,
And drive along in his one e-horse shay.
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn,
Nimbly scaling the garden wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn,
Eating his cabbage one by one,
Hurrying home when her work was done.
His human passions were quick to rise,
And, striding forth with savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes
As lightnings flash from the summer sky;
Redder and rcdder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would go.
Oyer the garden, round and round,
Breaking his pear and apple trees,
Trampling his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hive OF bees,
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The mosses grew on the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and play,
The boys in the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray haired farmers passed away,
One by one, as the red leaves fall;
But the highway COW outlived them all.

Apple Blossoms.

Softly the sun shines to-day,
Warming the garden and lawn,
But we miss the fragrance of yesterday,
For the apple blossoms are gone.
But the trees are green and strong,
And as sweetly the robins sing,
And the sturdy branches will bend ere long
With the fruit of their blossoming.
But never the trees will bear,
Under the warming sun,
And fed by the breath of the life -giving e air,
Till the blossoms their work have done.
Study the lesson with care
Which the apple blossoms bring
That the fruit our after-lives shall bear,
May depend on their blossoming.
