Who the Cherokees Are.
Christian Union.

Nor are We in this case dealing with wild
Indians The Cherokees are educated and
able men--yes, cultivated men and women.
Their life is the life of civilization, and
their country is governed well and elabo-
rately. They are perfectly aware of their
own rights and best interests, and are rich
enough to uphold them. In Vinita, their
principal business center, you may
find twenty or thirty large mercan-
tile establishments, some of them carry
ing $4,000 worth OF goods. all owned
and carried on by the Cherokees. In Tah-
lequah, their carital, you will see an elab-
crate state house, ana find government
which contains legislature, executive and
judiciary.
You may, if you have taste that way,
read their code of laws, or hear the two
branches OF the legislature discuss new
measures for the good of the nation. Or,
II you prefer, you may ride few miles out
OF town to their beautiful new seminary
for girls, costing round 100000 and paid
for out OF the money coming from the lease
OF the Cherokee strip. 1t is no savage peo-
pie that educates its girls in such build
ing, teaching them dead and living Ian
guages and all the usual branches" as the
catalogues say, and not only builds the
buildings at public expense, but educates
The children, and even clothes them, if
necessary, at the cost of the state; doing
the same thing for its boys in a school Lot
far away. And it might be interesting to
inquire what other Southern state or COM
munity has established, a. the expense of
the state. $4,000 high school for colored
children?

The Canning Business.
Troy Times.

Troy Times.
What an immense extent it has reached I
1t would seem, indeed. that there is hardly
any limit to canned goods-especially on
ocean vessels, where almost everything
comes in that shape. OF course, it leads to
many adroit frauds. as for instance, a great
deal OF the canned chicken is merely rabbit
meat tastefully prepared. A canmaker,
whose work is chiefly for the spice trade,
mentioned TO me that he turned out 2OO,-
onc month. and this is a rather mod
crate business. Other houses devote them
selves to lard pals or paint pals, and each,
indeed, has its speciality. The sweet corn
season Is Just setting in, and the tomato
canning has reached its busiest period.
There will probably be 3 ZOO 600 cans filled
with each of these edi oles before the season
closes. Rather heavy figures, some may
say but If you saw the inside of the trade
you would not reduce them Well, what n
change it has wrought! Our grandmothers
pnt up their sickish sweet preserves" for
only this method would keep" but now
you send 10 the store for canned goods
which are cheaper and better; that is, if
honestly prepared. What frauds, how
ever, have been practiced Tin is now
cheap, and cans are made by machinery,
and hence vast increase in the business is
expected

The Value Of Life.
Medical Classics.


Before the civil war the money value
placed gpon the working force in slave. a
young negro field hand, was 81 COO and up
ward, and upon skilled mechanic s. GOO.
DR.. Farr and Edward Chadwick, both emf.
nent sanitarians, practically confirm these
estimates. DR.. Farr says that in England
an agricultural isborer, at the age of p
years. is worth, over and above what it
costs to maintain him 81 .l9l. and that the
average value of every man, woman and
child Is S7I. Edwin Chadwick says that
each individual of the English working
classes tmere children work there, We must
remember) is worth $3.50, and at 40 years of
age $l,1S0. Our values in this country are
much greater. Take the probabilities of
our length of life from the insurance Ia
bles and put our labor on the market for
that length OF years and you will find
what we are worth TO the community.
