The Cheyennes and Arapahoes,
whose country was thrown open
to settlement Tuesday, have been
together for about sixty years, and
il is said each tribe speaks their
own language and neither under
stands the language of the other.
The United States government has
been issuing rations twice a month
for long time They get flour,
sugar, coffee and 1--we steers. Last
Monday they drew their rations
and the agent informed them that
their country would be thrown
open on the following day, and
that each Of them should 90 at
once and get on his allotment so
the white settlers would know what
lands were not taken. They did
not seem to realize that a surging
mass of white settlers would swarm
in upon them and occupy every
available piece Of land in their res
ervation within few hours. They
arc probably the most uncivilized
Of al the Indians in this territory.

REPORTS from Montana and Wy
oming are to the effect that the
ranchmen have determined to put
stop to cattle stealing on the
ranges, and in doing this it has
been necessary to quietly kill a
dozen or more of these live stock
thieves with probably more to fol-.
low. 1t will be remembered that
in 1884 general expedition was
sent out by the stockmen Of those
sections against such outlaws and
about sixty men were killed dur
ing the season.

Eggs at Easter.

The use of eggs for Easter can
be traced, says Count de Gebelin,
in his aeligious history of the Cal
endar, to the theology and philo-
sophy of the Egyptians, Persians
Gauls, Greeks, and Romans,
among all Of whom an egg was a
symbol of the universe, the work
Of the supreme divinity. The
Persians gave presents of eggs at
the feast of the New Year.. e.,
the feast of the vernal equinox-iu
honor Of the renewal Of all things.
The Egyptians held the egg as a
sacred emblem of the renovation
of mankind after the deluge. The
Jews adopted it to suit the circum-
stances of their history. as type
oftheir departure from Egypt, and
it was used in the feast ofthe Pass
over as part of the furniture of the
table with the Paschal lamb. -
The early Druids used the egg in
their cefemonies. In Russia one
man greets another on Easter with
"Jesus Crist is risen" eyes, He
is risen," reply is made; and then
an egg is given. In Maseow no
meeting takes place without this
salutation and exchange. "The
meanest Papper in the street pre-
sentirg an egg and repeating the
words Christos Voscrees' may de-
lnand salute even of the En-
press" In some countries of Italy
eggs are carried to the church TO
he blessed, and then taken home
and set out with flowers on Tia
table. Every visitor during Eas
ter week is invited to eat an Baster
egg, an invitation which must not
be refused Eggs in all countries
are sent as tokens .. .. this time, and
enter into the sentiments and
pastimes Of old and young alike.

Horses are not valued at higher
rates now than in the earlier ages
of the world, if we estimate prices
paid for them according to the
price OF food, which seems to be a
fair standard of comparison. In
King Solomon's time an Egyptian
horse-the best horses were then
procured from Egypt-cost one
hundred and fifty shekels, about
eighty-fve dollars. Six hundred
years after Solomon, in the time
ofXenophon, Seuthis the Thracian
paid fifty drachmae, or about one
hundred and thirty five dollars,
for the steed on which he rode
during the retreat Of the Ten
Thousand.

STATEHOOD for the Indian Terri

people at least in one respect, Of
allowing them to have railroad
commission and thus getting rates
reduced to a lower basis. AT pres

cent. more than in the surrounding
states and the people are longing

Some interesting observations re-
lating to the surgical treatment Of
wounds by birds were recently
brought by NJ Fatio before the
Physical Society OF Geneva. Ac-
cording to the Medical Record, he
quoted the case OF snipe which
he had often observed engaged in
repairing damages. With its beak
and feathers it makes very cred
liable dressing, applying plasters
to bleeding wounds, and even Sc
curing a broken limb by means of
a stout ligature. On one occasion
he killed a snipe which had on the
chest large dressing composed Of
down taken from other parts of the
body and securely fixed to the
wound by the coagulated blood.
Twice he had brought home snipe
with interviewer feathers strapped
on to the site of fracture of one or
other limb.

Tie unwritten chapter in Sam
Houston's life, that which his rel
auves would not allow to enter into
his biography, is told in a few
words. Resigning the office of gov
ernor of Tennessee, and leaving
his young wife Of only day, he
came west, stopping with the Cher
okee people. He then married
Tahli-nina Rodgers, a Cherokee
girl, and built home. After a
year of married life, which is re-
ported to have been very happy,
rahli-hina died. Houston then
decided to join his fortunes with
the Texans who were then in a
struggle with Mexico for indeper-
dence. Before leaving his beloved
Cherokee wife he put a stone at
the head OF her grave, bearing only
these words: Tahli-hina sleeps
here. -Chickisaw Chieftain.

Effort to Make the Educational Feature
Prominent One.
Hon. j. w. Anderson, Superintendent
of Public instruction, and who is Chair
man of the committee having in charge
an exhibit at the coming State Fair
illustrative of the educational history of
California, invites all pioneer teachers of
the State who taught here prior to 1856
to send him a statement of the following
facts
Date and place of birth; where edu-
to this State; date of coming to California;
place of first teaching in this State; kind
of schoolhouse or schoolroom occupied:
number of pupils III their first school in
California: whether still in educational
work; if not, in what occupation and
where now engaged.
If possible, he wishes also photographs
of all such teachers for the portrait gallery
of pioneer teachers to be exhibited at the
coming fair. Ii received in time, it is eX-
pected to issue the data called for in d
pamphlet for distribution at the Pavilion.
uperintendent Anderson has arranged
with w. II. V. Raymond of Sacramento,
editor Of the State textbooks, TO receive
all communications on this subject, and
they should be addressed to him accord
ingly, together with photographs, when
possible.
The time for this work is short, but if
the press will kindly publish Professor
Anderson's request. notable collection
can yet be made, and one which will
possess the highest interest to every
visitor.

A Gagged BEAST.
He Was CorraIed in the Jungle and
Lodged in Jail,
Attempt by a Tramp to Outrage a
Little Girl-The Mothers Com
bat with the Fiend.

On Monday night q. Laxenius, who
resides at 1916 c street, reported to the
police that a tramp entered his house
that afternoon, during the absence Of
himself and wife, Tor the purpose of
assaulting their little girl, whom he had
seen run in there from the street
He would doubtless have accomplished
his fiendish purpose had not Mrs. Lux
enius returned soon after he had got in
side. Hearing her ascend the steps the
tramp ran out and she at once grappled
with him. The lady happened to have a
knife in her hand and made a deter
mined effort to use it on the scoundrei,
but he managed to break from her grasp,
and leaping the fence escaped through
the alley.
The plucly woman followed him, how
ever, for quite a distance and noted the
direction be took in making his way
across the north levee.
The case was placed in Office Gibson's
hands yesterday, and calling to his aid
Officer Wilson they went over beyond
the levee and made d thorough search of
the willow thickets along the American
River. Their efforts were rewarded late
in the afternoon by the discovery of a
sIduIy III w ntCH Tie I6IlON IldO MS camp.
He was rot expecting visitors, appar-
emily, and the officers effected his cap
ture.
They found in The shanty several hats,
one exactly like that described by Mrs.
Luxenius. He refused to wear it, so thew
brought it along. On arriving at the
police station he gave the name Of Joseph
Palmer and was locked in cell.
Mrs. LuXenius and her little girl were
sent for and both positively identified the
prisoner as the scoundrel they had en-
countered on the preceding day. AS
soon as the lady was confronted with
him she sprang at him, and if the officers
had not restrained her she would doubt
less have done him harm.
Palmer answers the description of a
man whom several fat hers in the north
ern part Of the city have been DESTROYS of
setting eyes on, and one or two of whom
have been hunting for him with shot
guns.
1t is said that he has been lurking
about that neighborhood for some time
and has made frequent attempts to coax
little girls away from their homes and
across the Iayoa
