1t is said that love for pets and love of
travelling are the two ruling passions OF
the Princess Marie Theresa, of Bavaria.

two magpies, an enormous rat and Il
diminutiye bear.

AT THE SOUTH.

The Oklahoma provision inserted in
the Indian appropriation bill, says Wash
ington special of the 9th. covers nearly all
that the original Oklahoma measure sought
except a territorial government. 1t en-
powers President Harrison by proclama-
ton to throw open to settlement what are
known as the Oklahoma lands in the Indian
Territory. and also the Seminole lands.
The Cherokee outlet is not, however. to be
opened up but the Oklahoma and Seminole
lands will be enough to give the needed
chance to the. people who have been watt
ing patiently for years. The restrictions
regarding town sites and the homestead
provisions are almost identical with the
bill that passed the house. If the lands are
thrown open they will be taken up &c
rapidly that by the time congress meets
again territorial government will I'm
doubleday be provided for. Meanwhile un
Ill President Harrison looks over the
ground and issues his proclamation the
settlers will have to wait patiently before
entering the promised land.

REPRESENTATIVE CAMPBELL has in
troduced into the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture bill which is of great interest to
workingmen. The preamble recites the
injustice of the competition of unnatur-
allied foreigners, who seldom or never
pay taxes, with American labor, thereby
depriving the latter Of fair compensa-
ton. The bill provides that "all per-
sons, firms, associations, or corporations
employing foreign-born, unnaturalized
persons within this commonwealth shall
be and are hereby taxed at the rate of
% cents a day for each day each of such
foreign-born unnaturalized persons may
be employed. The taxes thus collected
are to be used in the defraying Of gen
eral expenses and for the maintenance
Of the schools.

The sheep industry of Montana, taken
at large, was never in more prosperous
condition. The clip bids fair to be one
of the best and the total product Of
wool the largest yet produced. Fully
100000 pounds will be the product
of 1889, which, with the present out
look. at 90 cents per pound, means a
small item of revenue. This, added to
the 100000 which would represent
the value of the increase in the fochs,
would make total of 81, 600, 600 for the
sheep industry Of the territory for 1889.
Next to mining. this is DOM believed to

of its body. Then it subsidized, but the
hole in the ice and the dirt cast about
were left to mark its appearance. A
