for argument that this lease was
made without authority Of law and
in contravention of the law.
The reason Of the law is plain. 1t
was enacted to restrict a power
which had previously been vested |
in the Minister Of the Interior.
II WAS INTENDED AND HAS
WELL SERVED TO PREVENT SUCH
BARGAINS OF IMPROvIDzNCE OR COR
RUPTION As THE PRESENT CASE Is AN
EXAMPLE OF. In effect it is a mat
ter Of public notoriety that the
open competition frequently secures
for the Government higher rates
than good offers upon which, as an
upset price, the fee or lease may
be put up"
Fifth-Since the recovery of the
land by the Government, 1,243
acres of it have been cut up into
homesteads, at an appraised value
of 81, 694, and nearly all taken up.
Two hundred and slxty-eight
acres of it are now being adver-
tised for sale by the Minister of
the Interior, at an upset price of
800.
This leaves an area of 1916
acres, which the bill now before
the House proposes to lease by
special act of the Legislature, to
the Queen, for 5000 year.
Sixth-The lease of a piece of
Government land within less than
half mile of the lands in question,
containing an area of only 1900
acres of similar land, was sold at
public auction, four or five months
ago, for 500 per annum.
Can any one give reason, on
the above statement of facts, why
this special act of the Legislature
should be passed? 1t certainly il
not for the public interest.
There are certainly no equities il
the above transaction, which the
Supreme Court, even though speak
ing of the Queen and the Minister
of the Interior, felt compelled tt
characterize as " a bargain of i'm
providence or corruption" which
calls upon the Legislature to pass
a special act, against the public in
terests.
1t is the plain duty of the Legis
lature to reject this bill.
If the Queen, Mr.. Cornwell Of
anyone else wants this land, lie
them make application to the Min
lister of the Interior according tt
law, and let it be pat up at auction
If they bid it in for 5000 per an
mum, we'll and good. If it goes fol
more, the public, who own tn
land, and who are estitled to any
profit which can be made out of it
will get the benefit of it. TIL
Treasury will need the money bad
ly enough by the time the Legisla
ture gets through with the Appro
priation Bill.
In addition to tho improperly o
the proposed act en- the facts II
this particular case, the principle
involved, of taking public lands gu
of the market, and against the gen
eral law, legisIating them into PR
vate hands for private profit, i
thoroughly wrong and demoraliz
ing.

CHOCTAW LEGENDS.

some interesting Facts brought Ont IN q
Talk with Peter Pitchlynn.
Especial Correspondence
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 9.-During recent
conversation with Peter Pitchlynn, the
great Choctaw chief, learned that the
Choctaws have legend of 1.-The Del
uge," and that they once fiattened the
heads of thei- children, both of which
facts shall attempt to show is confirm
atory of their original habitat having
been far in the southwestern portion of
the continent, as they claim, and not the
northwest, as those who advocate the
"Lost tribes of Israel" theory claim.
Now the Mayas, those strange people
who built the wonderful structures, the
ruins of which are found at Uxmal,
Palenque and elsewhere in Central Amer
lea, fattened the heads of their children,
and all the Isthmian Indians have ira
dition of deluge atlantis sad fate,
probably Is it not probable that the
Choctaws, as they claim they did, came
from that region, where at one time in
remote antiquity, jostled, as it We're,
with the Mayas, and brought here with
them some of the corrupted legends of
that people!
The Choctaw tradition of "the del.
uge," as related by Chief Pitchlynn, is
this: sour people have always had a
tradition of the deluge, which happened
in this way: There was total darkness
for great time over the whole of the
earth; the Choctaw doctors, or mystery
men, looked out for daylight for long
time, until at last they despaired of ever
seeing it, and the whole nation were very
unhappy. Finally light was discovered
in the north and there was great rejoic-
ing, until it was found to be great noun
tains of water rolling on, which destroyed
them all except a few families who had
expected it and built an immense raft,
on which they were savedv'
OF the primitive religious belief of
the Choctaws, as related by Pitchlynn,
the following is synopsis: sour peo-
pie all were firm in the faith that the
spirit lives in a future state; that it has
to cross dreadful, deep and rapid
stream, which is hemmed in on both
sides by high and rugged hills. Over
this stream, from hill to hill, there lies
long and slippery pine log, with the bark
pass to the delightful hunting grounds!
On the other side of the stream there are
six insabitants of the good hunting
grounds with rocks in their hands,
which they throw at all who attempt to
cross when they reach the middle of the
log! The good walk on safely to the
delightful hunting grounds where there
is one continual day; where the trees are
always green; where the sky has no
clouds; where there are constant cooling
breezes; where there is one everlasting
scene of feasting, dancing and rejoicing;
where there is no pain or trouble and
people never grow old, but forever live
young and enjoy the youthful pleasures!

coming and try 10 dodge, by which they

One of the latest practical demonstra-
tions of the use Of Volapuk was made in
Brisbane, Australia, where Meyerbeer's
opera, The Prophet, translated into Vol
apuk and presented by Nicholson, tho
manager Of the theatre in that city,
made such hit that lie was compelled
to repeat the performance ten times to
standing room only. Mr.. Nicholson con-
templates the translation and presenta-
tion of tho opera Trayiata. This use OF
the language proves very conclusiveiy
that the sound of it when spoken is not
harsh or bad, or it would have fallen

when oil the stage in cheap and poorly made
cotton gowns, and wears the same bonnet all
the year round; another that her tastes are
aesthetic and that she affects neutral tints and
clinging folds OF delicate silk. Perhaps this
little entry from Charles Readc's diary, writ
ten many years ago, may be Of interest In
this conncction
"Ellen Terry is an enigma. Her eyes arc

her hair rather like tow, yet somehow she is
