A GREAT DAY FOR INDIANS,

A GREAT DAY FOR INDIANS.
Yesterday wss q red-letter day, or at
least q copper colored letter day, for the
Indian. For the first time in the history
of the country the Indians had yesterday
the right to participate in a presidential
election. There have been isolated in
stances of qualification and polling in GER
tain States in the past, but the great body
of red men on the reservations have been
excluded from consideration in civic mat
ters until recently. Senator Dawes bill
declaring every Indian who accepted an
allotment of land citizen passed in 1887,
and about !, 400 allotments had taken place
prior to the election four years ago. The
total number who now possess citizenship
is II, ,S45, 1854 of whom are located in
Indian Territory and Oklahama. The
remainder are resident as follows:
South Dakota, 1861; Oregon, 269;
Wisconsin, 1870; Kansas, 191; North
Dakota, S69, and Arizona, 291. Such
of this number as live outside the ter
ritories, therefore, vote on registration
in relation to the Indians is now notable,
because a court in South Dakota has
decided that such Indians must possess
land on the public domain in order to COM
plete their qualifications for citizenship.
The judge decided that the State of South
Dakota could not provide polling place
on reservation lands, and refused polling
place to 300 Yankton reservation Indians
who had been allotted land in severslty. 1t
seems that the Dawes law did not repeal
the distinction existing in previous legis-
lation between public domain and land
owned by the Indians in tribal unity.

BULLIOT,S BET.

Those who bet on the wrong side yester-
day, and who have got to pay money,
wheel somebody In a wheelbarrow, or do
some other foolish and awkward thing,
will realize what idiots they were without
any help from us. About the only conso-
lation they can have is that they were no
more idiotic than others have been. There
have been some exceedingly foolish betters
in time past, and some of them have been
ed for the consolation and instruction of
other FOOLS One of these celebrated and
historical betters was Mr.. Bulloit, Paris
ian banker. Having remarked that 1t had
rained excessively on ST. Gervais' day,
June 10, he persuaded himself that it
would rain for forty days continuously
thereafter, basing his opinion upon the
truth of the old proverb "thst if it rains
st. Gervais' day 1t will rain forty days
after" Infatuated by his faith in this say
ing, and being that day in the cafe de la
Regence, near the Palais Royal, he entered
into conversation with some persons
on the subject of the incessant inupdations
which were destroying the hopes of a good
harvest. Bulliot observed that there would
be more cause for alarm If the rains con-
tinued for forty days longer, and that he
was ready to wager that this misfortune
was inevitable. His evil prognosis was re-
ceived with bad grace by those present
and he was asked upon what authority he
based his prediction. 81 am sure of it,"
he confidently replied: "Let any one bet
against me; am ready to put down my
stake" He bet all the money he had with
him, and then, believing himself sure of
victory, he proposed to those who had no
money to stake their gold-headed canes.
gold snuff boxes and other valuable jewel
ry, which were duly appraised and placed
in the hands of the same depository. He
even consented that those who had neither
money nor jewels should deposit
their Holland shirts, against which he
also consigned their value in money. The
centagion of this folly having spread
abroad, the next day brought reinforce
ments who put down their stakes against
Bulliot. But his money at last becoming
exhausted, he offered these newcomers
bills payable to the bearer, or letters of
exchange. AS he stood high in the COM
mercial world and had never failed to
honor his engagements, his proposition
was accepted, the amount Of this last
character of wager amounting to 30, 200
CROWNS. In spite of the proverb the rain
ceased before the forty days; Bulliot lost
and the keeper of the stakes accordingly
gave them up to those who had won.
Those who held Bulliot's bills and letters
of exchange had not such good luck. Bull
lots relatives had him interdioted as
prodigsl. Law suits followed, but YER
dict was returned for the defendant.
It is pity that Bulliot is out of date.
He would have made good "bluffer" for
the Cleveland MANAGERS,

scratch out the miraculous little head Ito
which special reference had been msde) or
other part of the picture, down to the
white priming so as to show the red ink
drawing with which he had at FIRST drawn
Ii in, and he would thsn paint in the head
again. IL the drawing beneath was not
visible the painting should belong to his
adversaries, and he would have TO suffer
the shame Of exposure; but If the evidence
was In his favor his traducers should psy
him one thousand pounds damages In re-
spect to their false and explicit charge.
The offer was not accepted, and less was
heard of the charge of painting on, or by
the aid of, photographs, when one morn
ing the head of the principal figure was
found to be scratched out. The perpetra-
tor of the outrage was never discovered,
but since that time NJ. Van Beers always
covers with glass the pictures he intends
for foreign exhibition. The incident
turned to the advantage of the painter,
for, as need hardly be said, no trace of
photograph or Photographic materials
could be found. The enemy thereupon
brought forward another accusation: That
as NJ Van Beers painted in such distinct
styles, he must perforce employ two diff
ferent artists to execute his work. I am
not aware that the matter was pressed, nor
that any explanation WAS offered as to why
two such remarkably skilful painters (pre-
suming them to EXIST should be content to
bide their lights under tine studio-bushel
of q young artist, a foreigner, who had
still to win his spurs and create a clientele.

tors of dentistry on the strength of diplo-
mas received from American colleges. The
German laws recognize only four classes of
doctors-those of law, theology, philosophy
and medicine. Speaking of dentists, it is
worth noting that the three dentists of
Berlin, Dresden and Leipsic who have the
largest and most remunerative practice are
respectively Messrs. Sylvester, Jenkins and
Young, all natives of Maine. The two last
mentioned were formerly residents of Ban
gor. Sylvester and Jenkins are court
dentists.
1t has long heen understood that in lay
ing railroads 1t is necessary to leave small
space between adjoining rails to allow for
their expansion as the temperature rises.
1t has been held that without this the in
evitable changes of length would move the
track out of place. Recent experiments
described by A. j. Moxham indicate that
this result may not always follow. Rails
aggregating 1,160 feet in length were close
ly Joined by bolted lap-pieces. Marks
were made to fix the exact position of the
rails. During the experiments there was.a
variation of hundred degrees in temper
ature, and many thousand readings were
taken, but no movement of the track was
discovered, even at the ends. The expsn
sion due to the change of temperature ia
put at five and a quarter inches. What
became of it remains to be explained.
A blue book that has just been issued by
the British board of trade, giving the sta
tistios of marine disasters from June, 1890,
to June, 1891, seems to indicate that travel
by sea is becoming gradually safer. For
the most part the losses of various kinds
are smaller than they were. although the
number of ships afloat continually grows
larger. In some respects, however, the
figures are misleading. Thus 1t is said
that the total number of casualties, in
cluding total losses and serious and minor
disasters, is 823 below the average for the
three preceding years. but it is explained
that accidents to fishing gear, which were
included in former reports, are now passed
by. Again it is said that the
losses of sailing-ships have fallen
from $50, the average of the preceding
fifteen years, All. The tonnage lost has
also dropped from 14O, 900 tons to some
4O, 900 less, but against this fact it must
be remembered that steam is superseding
sails, and fewer sailing vessels were lost
because there were fewer at sea. The loss
of steam-vessels increased from an average
of 1875, tonnage IS, 900 odd, to 135, tonnage
over $4,000. Nevertheless, the diminu-
ton in one case far exceeds the increase in
the other. Altogether the figures are de-
cidedly satisfactory, and there is nothing
to show that the conditions were more
favorable than usual.

raised and re-echoed, by painters as well

A Maori whose requests for blankets had

thereupon returned to the faith of his

CATION for piece of land. Being called on
