Wit of Tipsy Men.

The Boston Herald tells a story of a
French able who got excessively tipsy
one cold winter night upon very rare
old burgundy. When he essayed to
walk home he found the pavement so
slippery that, his legs being primarily
in an unstable condition. he fell to the
ground about three times in the course
OF every nine staggering steps He
was discovered at last by a friend
sitting IN the middle of the roadway
with his legs very wide apart, bun with
an expression of cheerful resignation
in his countenance. What are vOu
doing here?" asked the friend II am
waiting for thaw," replied the bibu-
lous able. Here was clearly case of
man who. being drunk. knew that he
was drunk, and consequently, in view
OF the anonymous mOralist who has
been holding forth in London. was
not drunk, and had even some mother
wit to spare.
Quite analogous was the case of the
thirsty blacksmith who, with unyarv-
ing punctua1ity, was accustomed TO
come home intoxicated from the village
public house every Saturday night and
beat his wife. A child was born to
the couple. and strangely enough, for
three months. although the blacksmith
continued to get as tipsy as ever, he
never laid finger on his wife At
this the poor woman, on Saturday
night, when he came home in the ac-
customed condition, yentured to- ex-
press her surprise. Il didn't want to
wake the baby" was the blacksmith's
almost pathetic explanation Surely
this was an instance of a man who was
so fully cOgniZant of being drunk that
he could not be said morally to be
drunk at all.
The phenomena Of alcoholism are
so multitudinous that it must always
be a matter of extreme difficulty to
determine at what period the precise
moment arrives when man becomes
irresponsible for his actions. Para
doxical as it may appear. although
reason may be ousted from her throne
by continuous drinking, a drunken
man may drink himself into compare
tive sobriety. This was said to be the
case with Butler, the author of ''Hudi-
bras" who, while the first bottle was
being emptied, appeared very fiat and
heavy in conversation; at the second
bottle he became extremely brisk and
lively, full of wit and learning, and a
most pleasant and agreeable compan-
ion; but before the third bottle was
finished he relapsed into a condition
of grim taciturnity and solemn dull
ness, so that it was said of him by the
Earl of Dorset that he was like a nine
pin, little at both ends but great in the
middle.

Mummy Eyes.

The museum of the State Mining
Bureau has been presented with some
articles by T. C. Ward, a mining man
of Chill. The collection consists of
minerals. ancient Peruvian pottery
taken from the graves of the Incas,
and three mummy eyes found in BO-
livia. The mummy eyes, as they are
called, are taken from the bodies of
Bolivian mummies, but bear no resem-
blance to the human eve. They look
like glass shells with gilt inside, and,
in spite of the fact that they are solid,
are delicate and easily broken. When
exposed to dampness the gilt appear
ance is lost and they resemble piece
of yellow crystal. - San Ffeaessc0

Norwegian Fishermen in America

The American impressions of the

pecially during the light summer
nights, have suca an attraction That
Norwegians whom l met during my
visit to America few years ago, and
who had been settled for some time In
the interior of the States, told me they

no CIVIL GOVERNMENT

for the people who were 10 BE- invited by
proclamation TO settle upon these lands,
except as the court, which had been estsb-
lished at Muscogee, or the United States
courts in some of the adjoining States, had
power TO enforce the general laws of the
United States. In this condition of things
l was quite reluctant to open the lands to
settlement. But in view of the fact that
several thousand persons, many of them
with their families, bad gathered upon the
borders of the Indian territory with view
to securing homesteadg on the ceded lands,
and that delay would involve them in
lose and suffering, l did, on the 23d day Of
March last, issue proclamation declaring
that the lands therein described would be
open to settlement under the provisions of
the law, on the ODD day of April following
at - o'clock noon. Two land districts
had besn established, and the Offices were
open for the transaction Of bueiness when
the appointed rime arrived. /, is much to
the credit of the settlers that they very
gensraIly observed the limitation as to the
time when they might enter the territory.
Care will be taken that those ghO entered
in violation of the law do not secure the
advantages they unfairly sought

OKLAHOMA's GROWTH

There Was a great deal Of apprehension
that the strife for locations would result in
much violence and bloOdshed, but happily
these anticipations were not realized. II
is estimated that there are nov in the ter
ritor about On 600 people; and several cor
siderable towns have sprung up, lor which
temporary municipal governments have
been organized. Guthrie is said to haYe
now a population of almost s, 600 Eleven
schools and nine churches have been es-
tablished, and three daily and FIVE weekly
newspapers are published IN this city,
whose charter and ordinances have only
the sanction of the voluntary scquiescencs
of the people from day TO day. Oklahoma
City has a population Of about 5000, and
is propOrtiOnstely rs well provided as
Guthrie with churches, schools and news
papers Other towns and villages having
populations of from one hundred TO thous-
and are scattered over the Territory. In
order to secure the peace of this new COM
munity in the absence of the civil Govern
ment, directed Gen. Merritt, command
ing the department of the Missouri, 70 act
in conjunction with the msrshals Of the
United States 10 preserve the peace, and
upon their requisitiOn to uss the troops to
ard them in executing warrants and in
quoting any riots or breaches OF the peace
that might occur. He was further directed
to use his influence 10 promote good order
and to avoid any conflicts between OF
with the settlers, believing that the
introduction and sale Of liquor, where
no legal restraint or regulations
existed would endaDger the public
pesce, and in view Of the fact that such
liquors must first be introduced into th'
Indian reservations before reaching tbs
white settlements. farther directed th'
General commanding 70 enforce the law
relating to the introduction of .ar

all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
