WHITE MEN IN THE INDIAN TERRI
TORY.

Strange as it may seem there are at
least one-third more white United
States citizens in Indian Territory
comprising the five civilized tribes OF
Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles, Choc-
taws, and Chickasaws-than the
total population of Oklahoma Terri
tory, including the unopened reser-
vations. 1t is this remarkable fact
which made the last congress so
prolific of bills affecting the Indian
Territory, and caused the senate TO
empower the president to appoint a
committee of three to visit these five
nations, as they call themselves,
this past summer, and treat with
their respective governments with
a view to the dissolution of their tri-
bal relations, the allotment Of their
lands in severalty, the acceptance
of American citizenship, and speedy
statehood. The tribal population
of these nations aggregates in round
numbers $4,000, divided as follows:
Cherokee, $4,000; Creeks, $4,000;
Seminoles, 5000; Choctaws, 10000;
Chickasaws, 5000. The United
States citizen population, owning no
tribal allegiance and alien in char
acter, is conservatively estimated at
10000 of which number $4,000
are in the Chickasaw Nation alone.
When it is considered that there are
fifteen non-citizens to one citizen in
the aforementioned nation, the reader
will readily perceive the condition
which calls for congressional action
and threatens the abrogation of In
dian autonomy. Fully four-6fths of
this alien white population immi-
grated to the Indian Territory after
the opening of Oklahoma for settle
ment.-[Rezin w. McAdam, in Har-

A TERRIBLE FALL.

Rev. c. T. Porter, English chap
lain at Zermatt, has sent some par
ticulars, gathered from an eye-wit-
ness, of the distressing accident that
took place on the Matterhorn the
other day, says the London Times.
| believe, he says, this expedition
to climb the Lion of Zermatt"
originated with Herr Andreas Seller,
young man OF Is years, who in
vited friend, Oscar Gysi of Man
chester, to accompany him, and en-
gagged three guides-Johann Biner,
aged 20, Josef Tugwalger and Leo
Moser. The ascent was made from
the Italian side, the most difficult
and dangerous. The mountaineers
started together, but after a while
young Seller determined to push on
in advance of the rest of the party,

All went we'll till toward three
O'Clock in the afternoon, by which
time the travellers had nearly reached
the new Cabine de la Tour, erected
by the Italian Alpine Club at a
height of IL, 760 feet up the noun
tain's side. Suddenly the guides
Tugwalger and Moser were startled
with what they thought to. be the
sound of falling stones. To AVOID
this danger they pressed themselves,
with Mr.. Gysi, close to the rock.
Their horror can be better imagined
than expressed when they saw the
bodies of Seller and Biner shoot past
them, and within two or three yards
of the spot where they were clinging
to the mountain. The catastrophe
might easily have involved the
whole party.
How it happened no one will ever
know, as the two victims had
climbed out of sight of their
companions. Who first slipped we
cannot tell. Biner and Seller were
roped together. The rope held to.

something like 5000 feet.

Solved the Polar Problem.

A few years ago there was in Law
school not a hundred miles from Bos-
ton a very aged and eccentric prote5-
sor. General information" was the
old mans hobby; like General Gar
field. he held it to be incontroyertible
that if a young lawyer possessed "
large fund of miscellaneous knowledge,
combined with an elull amount or
horse sense" he would be 1t success.
SO every year the professor put On his
examination paper question very far
removed from his subject OF criminal
law. One year it was, How many
kinds of trees are there in the college
vard?" The next, "What is the make
up of the present English cabinet:"
Finally the professor thought he had
invented the best question OF his life.
1t was, "Name twelve animals that in
habit the polar regions?'
The professor chuckled as he wrote
this down. He was sure that he could
"pluck" half the students on that
question. And it was beyond doubt
that that opprobrious young loafer,
Jones, 81, would fail.
But when the professor read the ex-
animation papers, Jones, who had not
answered another question, was the
only man who had solved the polar
problem. This was Jones's answer:
"Six seals and six polar bears.
Jones got his degree and distinction.
The professor said that the man who
could give such an answer would some
day cause the shades of Webster and
Choate to turn green with envy

Tomcat Versus Eagle.

While two residents of Galena Were
driving through Southern Wisconsin
recently they witnessed, near Arena, a
fierce fight between a bald-headed
eagle and a large tomcat. "The proud
bird of the mountains" had attacked
the cat while hunting IN the field, and
succeeded in fastening its talons into
the animals back, when the battle
Immediately began and was continued
amid the terrific yoSls of the cat and
the screams of the eagle. 1t was n
sort of catch-as-catch could contest,
and while it continued the feathers
and fur flew thick and fast The cat
was too heavy for the eagle to fly with,
but it succeeded in raising it several
times in the air, hundred feet at
each effort; but the attempts to get
away with its prey were futile, as the
weight of the cat and its fierce struggle
for life invariably brought the eagle
to the ground again, where the battle
was repeated with nearly the same re-
suit. In the final bout, which took
place on terra firma, the eagle threw
up the sponge and flew laboriously
across the river, while the cat, much
worried, made tracks as rapidly as
possible away from the scene of battle.

The PoelrY OF Hotion.

The moving machinery OF horse,
says the Newark Call, is q very COM
plicated one. The muscles OF the
limbs that lift the legs and move them
forward are numerous, and there is no
way that it can be told whether or not
n horse will keep his legs well under
him and move these easily and grace
fully. So much depends upon a horses
system, as to whether he will put fire
and energy into his gait, that the for
nation alone, be it ever so symmetrical,
cannot give guarantee that he viii
have an agile step. IT is harmony o.
action combined with degree of ner-
vous energy, even excitably, that COM
pletes the makeup and action of the
horse that all turn from other objects
to gaze upon. There IS n species OF
attractiveness in that sort OF motion
that rivets the attention of all passers,
even those that ordinarily pay little
attention to horses. It does not re-
auire size to make this sort of horse.
Carving up well, Gs such ANIMALS gen.
orally do, they look larger by far than
they are. Such animal, moving past
with head and tail up. is q very de-
ceiving object. OF all the exhibitions
of equine grandeur there is nothing
equal to the display that can be made
by an elegant Young trotting-5reed
horse when he Is showing himself with
ont restraint and just as the animal
buoyancy of his animal spirits prompts
him.
How a horse must BE- formed %
move in the manner stated is some
thing that cannot be fully designated.
The most experienced horsemen will
not give an opinion on q horses gait
until they see him move. They forn
no opinion from the formation while
the horse Is standing still, simply be-
cause they cannot. A man, it IS true,
may form a correct opinion as to what
horse with certain peculisritie5 will
do when he moves off. Thus, a horse
with straight back cannot be graceful
while in motion because he cannot get
his feet we'll forward in action; but 10
estimate Of his motion which VIII not
vary can be formed until the horse
moves of.

The American VOL Disappearing.

Notwithstanding the fact that ever
since the settlement of America the
wolf has been pursued with guns, traps
and poison, it is certain that no blow
was ever dealt this race so severe rs the
extinction of the buffalo. Their nat
ural prey gone, the wolves turned their
attention to the herds of the stockmeD,
and for years nov their depredations
have resulted in very serious losses to
raisers of horses and cattle on tho
Northern plains. They do not attack
the herds when they are alarmed and
closely punched together, but prowl
about their outskirts, trying to cut oA
the young stock, which they can easily
pull down.
Sometimes a small band OF wolves
will roundup little bunch of cattle,
which stand in a close circle, their
heads outward, prepared for the at.
tack. After circling about them for
short time, two or three of the wolves
will dash at the bunch, and if they can
scatter the animals it is the work OF
an instant only to pull down year
ling or to kill two or three calves. We
have seen two wolves thus destroy a
yearling steer with no greater appar-
ent effort than a setter dog would use
IN killing a cat.

An old Maine mariner was talking
about punishments on shipboard.
Some one had referred to those cruel
prosecutions alleged against Captain
William Patterson by the Jefferson
Borden mutineers, and the Maine sailor
man. who has endured most of these
chastisements that are visited upon an
incorrigible Jack, fellinto a sadly rem
iniscent mood. Nowadays offenders
escape such stiff and straight doses as
inexorable shippers had power to pre-
scribe ten or fifteen years ago. In the
navy especially are tn, punishment
toned down.
In the merchant service al ugly
cold man" can make life hot for his
crew. but most captains understand
that this barbarity doesn't pay. A rep
utation fo- trlcllen,e drives away
good men. Only those with tough
hides ana red-hot dispositions will ship
with bullying skipper.
Probably keel-hauling was one Of the
most severe of the old-time punish
ments A lon3 rope was run through
block at the enl OF tho yard arm,
passed under the ship anl brought up
through another block a: the opposite
end OF the yard.
The unhappy culprit was stripped
and made fast t. this rope. A detail
stood r,ady to pull all together. At n
signal the man was dumped overheard,
was hauled quickly around under the
vessel and brought to tha deck on the
opposite side, kicking AMI strangling.
This dose WAS repeated according to
the mans offence and his staying quail
ties
The victims did not grumbie 50 much
at the douche in the cold sea as at the
fearful seraping they received against
the bottom Of the ship. The bare hide
found knobs, mus5els and barnacles in
plenty. There have been instances in
which SHARK, strayiny conveniently
