WHAT TRIFI Es MAYpo.

The common incidents OF life
often become matters of reference
and historical fact, when connect
ed with those who have wrought
public regulations. These little
events are accidentally brought
out in the search after other things
in about the same way that we
might accidentally find a gem
while digging for potatoes.
Hhe commission on citizenship
at Tahlequah arc often compelled
in the investigation of claims to
Cherokee rights, TO examine care
fully the evidence in support OF
such claims, especially parts that
refer to certain alleged facts. As
proof that a certain party was en-
titled TO Cherokee citizenship by
the right of Cherokee blood, il
was asserted that none but Chero-
kee children were permitted to at-
tend the missionary schools in the
old Cherokee nation. If none but
such children were permitted to
attend, and that discrimination
was rigidly enforced, the evidence
would be strongly presumptiyc
That studentat any such school
was a Cherokee. While this ques-
lion was being discussed during a
recess Of the commission, Judge
John J.. Adair remarked that
"Aunt Susy Taylor" had said in
her life time that Sam Houston
when a boy attended the mission
AIRY school at Spring Place in Geor-
gia; that he went in tho costume
Of the Cherokee boys Of the school
and IL habits End intercourse with
them was a Cherokee.
Inns CIRCUMSTANCE may account
for his appearance among the
Cherokees when he resigned his
goyernorslip Of Tennessee for no
apparent cause, and sought TO hide
himself from the world, but the
world needed him and he went
back TO it 10 be the only one Sam
Houston.

HOwTO DISPOSE OF OUR SUR
PLUS GRASS MONEY.

Ma. EDIToR.-It seems to me
that the greatest need Of the Cher
okee nation to-day is men true and
trained, who are calm, and large,
and strong enough to seize hold of
the great questions of the time
that are crowding to the front,
some Of which are: The best
means of protecting our landed
and money interest, and securing
them, so that posterity may de-
rive some benefits therefrom; our
common property,the timber, is be-
ing rapidly taken off without ade-
quate payment to the nation; the
grass on our common property is
being monopolized by a few
wealthy stockmen who ostensibly
own the herds they introduce,
when in reality they can't pay the
freight on them. In these days of
small politicians and petty party
squabblers wouldn't it be refresh
ing and inspiring as a lake breeze
on an Augut day to come in con-
tact with a man of breadth and
training, and real craftsmanship,
devoting himselfto the service Of
his country-not for four dollars
per day but for the good of the
whole people2 The way to have
men Of this kind is to offer a schol-
arship in some good collegein in the
states to the graduate at the semi
nary passing the best examination.
Send two or four the Choctaws
and Creeks have been doing it for
years with good results.
Respectfully, j. T. CUyNINoHAM.

Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine
for June closes the twenty-third
semi-annual volume Of this well
known monthly, aud contains the
index to The volume. The con-
tents Of the number are timely to-
the season, and two of tho articles
relate to Lake Champlain. These
are "Bow Arrow Point and the
American Canoe Association" by
Frederic G.. Mather, and "Our
Summer on Lake Champlain, the
Inland Resort Of the Future" by
Emily Pierce. Both Of these ar
ticles are finely and fully illustrat-
ed, and they make one long to go
thither. Lake George has so long
monopolized attention that il is an
agreeable change to find Lake
Champlain receiving the recogni-
ton its beauties merit. "a visit
TO Fort Qu'Appclle," depicts, by
pen and pencil, an interesting
spot in our Canadian neighbor.

would have them do to your as
pronounced by Christ, is a good
deal more than human nature can
bring itself w to in any conceiva-
bic lapse Of time. Though old as
tho doctrine is, and taught and
preached as much as il has been,
IL would he a matter of no little
satisfaction to the casuis or to
those who deal in infnitesimals 20
discover what approach has been
made towards this happy condi-
ton of human affairs, from what
were originally the relations of
man before the idea of such a thing
was in the range of human
thought, or since tho time it is
possible for such a principle to ex-
ist in thought or practice among
the human family. If we accept
the theory Of progression, which
we cannot refuse TO do, there GER
tainly must have been a condition
Of the human race when the re.
motest idea Of such a principle did
not exist, or that it tbegen with the
creation Of man in a state high
enough to comprehend and appre-
ciatc precept. In either case pro-
gross can hut DC accepted.
To discover how far the human
race has advanced in this doctrine,
taking the nations that are tho
most civilized by educational and
religious influences, it would be
necessary to fix a point Of begin
ming somewhere and follow up
the line, if there is one, until you
find the limit Of progress made in
the willing and conscientious prac-
tice of principle. The beginning
and ending of the search will pos
sibly be found very close together
an infnitesimal in advance ment
towards a complete and invariablc
practice of the precept.
Even if we put the beginning Of
this more than human principle
far back in the dark ages Of the
world, where it was possibly
taught as a doctrine handed down
through numberless generations
and out of the still darker ages be-
yond; or back so far in imagina-
ton that its alpha and omega are
equally infinite or to the first
dawn Of written history when ii
emerges out of darkness into the
light of that age when Egyptian
philosophers taught all there is in
it twenty centuries before the
Christian era, we will find ad-
vancement in its practice perhaps
as little complete as it was with
him who first conceived and utter
ed the divine sentiment. Perfec-
tion will never be reached. The
universal and complete practice OF
this principle is perfection itself,
and will ever be in the distance,
far ahead Of an advanced condition
of mortal man. He will never
close in with its requirements un-
til Eo ceases to want or have cause
TO live by the sweat ofbis face" "
or does not get tired, hungry or
suffers from the inclemencios of
the seasons.
