Of course there are many followers of

singular circumstance has come un
where it Is evidenced that the Chinaman
can't go without locomotion. An incau-

manded the tariff of $40 assessed by the
government on every Celestial entering

Not having the necessary sum. and not
choosing if he had to pay such heavy
toll for the privilege Of paying a casual
visit TO folks at the other end Of the
bridge, he turned and walked 10 the
American end. But there he met an
other official who told him that once be

allowed under the law 10 return 10 the

he couldn't 90 back. and 50 there he was.

Ex-Chief Bushyhead of the Cherokee
nation is now posing as the champion
ObjectOr for that tribe of Indians in the
matter of treating with the government
in regard to the Cherokee strip. His OBJ
lection to the present commission would
sound plausible enough if it were based
on an actual state of case: but when we
find the commission composed of two
western men to one from the east his OBJ
lection appears altogether captious and a
mere subterfuge for delaying if possible
a settlement Of the question at issue.
The Cherokees seem 10th to give up
their claim to the strip though why, it IS
hard to understand since it is Of no adj
vantage or benefit to them and never

the government, and they viii make
money by accepting the price offered

Globe-DemOcrat: I'm the twenty-five
year period. soon to expire, for which
the charter of the Louisiana lottery has
been in existence, that corporation has
paid the state $1,000, 1000. For the re-
newal of the charter the company agrees
to pay the state S12, 500, 600 in the next
twenty-five years. That is to say, the
lottery people are willing to pay just
twelve and half times as much for the
next quarter of a century of years as
they have been doing for the present
quarter. And still larger bride will
undoubtedly be offered if this one be de-
Clined. The contest between the cupid
ity Of the residents of Louisiana and
their sense of honesty and decency,
which is now well under way, is being
watched with a good deal of interest
throughout the country" All of which
is true and pertinently put; but how
much more culpable are those who IL
cense an evil than those who sustain the
evil by their patronage, which last are
not confined to the state of Louisiana,
but are scattered throughout the length
and breadth of the land? The all but
universal mania TO get much for little is
responsible for the existence of the lot
terry. 1t is not a complimentary COM
mentary upon the moral status of the
people, but it is fact, nevertheless.

seaweed as Food.

To The Scottish Review Mr.. a. Ell. j.
Crespi contributes an interesting article
upon strange foods. ''Seaweed, says Dr..
Crespi, sis eaten on the coasts Of Scot
land and Ireland in vast quantities, and
though unpalatable and havorless is at
times the chief food Of some Of the poor

or Indian corn in nitrogenous constitu-
ents, and takes rank among the most
nutritious of vegetable foods. Laver is

which seaweed is held, and is fayorite

the bitter taste, which to some palates
is most disagreeable. 1t should then be
stewed in milk or water till mucilagi-
nous, and is best favored with vinegar or
pepper. Fungi are almost everywhere
largely eaten, though in England less
attention is paid to them than they de-
serve, and few kinds appear at table.
A curious error is to suppose that
fungi are eatable and toadstools poison
Gus. No such line of demarcation exists,
nor, strictly speaking. has the name
toadstool any precise meaning. Very
many fungi are edible, and the common
agaric usually eaten in England is not
the most palatable and wholesome. Few
foods are more savory, and none are
greater favorites, than well cooked fungi,
and the souls Of vegetarians yearn for
them.
