dispatch from the Sac and Fox Agency,
/. T.. says: A discovery has been made re-
spec ing the Cherokee Is ids Which will prove
a sensation Judge Wilson has known for some
time, but only lately made known to bis col
leagues. that under Article Il Of the Cherokee
Treaty Of l-5S Indians friendly % the CherO-
kecs may b. settled upon the Cherokee Nation
itsciL This should not be confused with AFti-
Gle rs. which relates 0aly 70 the Cherokee Out
lcL Article Is provides that Indians friendly
60 the CheFokcSs. aud who have abandoned
their tribal relations, may be settled in the
Cherokee Nation when first obtaining the con-
sent Of the Cherokee Council. In the case OF
ratification the President Of the United
States NAV settle the friendly Indians if be
deems the Cherokee Councils reasons for non
ratification 10 be not good and sufficient. Thus,
il may be seen. that the Government has power
to sattle not only the Strip question but the
home proper itself Judge Wilson processes EOt
to know the Governments policy as 20 this but
for himself is in favor of settling Indians knee
deep on the Cherokee lands should they decline
to part with their claim to the Strip. Judge
Wilson's views are also entertained by the other
Commissioners 1t is safe to say that Cherokee
lands will either be opened TO white settlement
or else completely covered with wild tribes"

slant companion, in almost all regions which he
inhabits. and the unreclaimed and savage ami
mails OF the earth, still, as matter Oifact, the
majority of dogs are essentially wild beasts,
and very frequently, also, they are destructive
and dangerous. Human beings have made
what Baron Cuyier calls the cOmpletest the
most singular and the most useful conquest
ever made over but two or perhaps more,
species of those wolves whose modified de-
scendants we now commonly speak Of as dogs.
As the plan of these papers does not include
comparative anatomy any further than may be
necessary to give a certain defniteness to de-
scriptIons of the differential features of animal
groups, it will suffice to say that the cats and
bears, whose general traits Of structure have
already been outlined, are separated from the
Canide by marked peculiarties in the organi-
zation Of the latter.
Dogs of all kinds, wolves, foxes and jackals,
are carniyorous animals, and in geological
classification the dog-lke forms of the super
family Cynoidea are included in one family
Canide The various eonformations compre-
hended in this great group are very nearly as
uniform structurally as those of the Felid9 ;
they differ less from one another in size than
is the ease with cats, aud the species Of the
genus CAMS as a whole, do not exhibit those
excessive contrasts in bulk and bodily powers
which mark the feline branch of the carniyora.
As they are, for the most part, flesh eaters ex-
clusively, their structure shows a carniVoTOus
specialization in the general features of the
jaw. teeth and digestive tract. Like cats, the
Canidae possess sectorial molars and pre-molars
but the number Of their teeth is greater, and
the grinding teeth are more numerous in both
jaws. Again, dogs are dgitigrade animals, as

surmounting this is circular in form, well pro-

ornamental pilasters. On the pedestal stands
a we'll executed figure of volunteer of 1861 in

are said to be perfect.
The soldier stands with right foot slightly

muzzle held in the left hand and the right
