THE INDIAN SUCCUMBs.

From the New York Sun.
1t has been significant fact that the
lands which have been made to increase
Oklalloma's dimensions, including the
Fort Sill and Kickapoo country, to be
opened next spring, were bought direct
ly from the Indians, and that the latter
were willing to abandon their tradi-
tions'' and let the land go. It is quite as
much subject for remark, since our east
ern friends are gradually gaining con-
ception of the Indian other than that of
painted savage, that the allotment
sentiment is growing steadily among
the tribes. 1t is safe to say that one of
the Fenimore Cooper's Indians would
never have descended to the mercenary
depths of selling or desiring to appropri-
ate TO his one use any portion of the
tribal lands, and since many persons can
now conceive Of the modern Indian
doing these things, it is a good sign that
tne imaginary Indian is disappearing,
and the real aborigine-he of the attrib-
utes Of a human being-is taking his

A motto appears
On the seal of a state
OF a state that was born
While the terror was brewing;
A motto defying
The edicts OF fate:
A motto of daring,
A legend OF doing.
A perilous past
And a cayernous glOor.
Had ensirouded the state
In its humble beginning;
But courage of soul.
In repeiing the doom.
Of failure made nope.
And of losing made winning.
The rough scars to the stars.
Through the pail of the pas.
Through the gloom to the gleain
Rose the state from the peril;
Then the gieam became gloom,
4 nd the laurels at last
Were scattered in ashes
Repugnant and sterile.
But Kansas shall shine
In the stories and songs
That are told and are sung
OF undauDted reliance.
The gloom will yet gleam,
And the evils and wrongs
W III Sf1flVeI ani crisp
In the blaze of defiance,
The future shall bury
The uOw-as the woe
On the field of a battle

And hope will return
Like the harveStS that grow

Marriage i'm Burmah.

Destitution Is almost unknown, and
the wants of life in the temperate climate
of Burmah are more easily satisfied than
in the colder countries OF northern Eu-
rope. A young Burmese couple can
start life with da and cooking pot.
The universal bamboo supplies materials
for building the house, lighting the fire,
carrying the water from the well and
may even help to compose the dinner it
self. The wife is usually prepared to
take share, ,in supporting the household,
and thus she has graduaiiytacyuirel q
position Of ind, pendcncc not always en-
loyed by married women elsewhere. 1t
has been decided that, under the an
cicnt Buddhist custom prevailing in Bur
nah, husband cannot ALLEVIATE property
jointly acquired after marriage without
the consent of his wife. Few marriages
take place where either party is under
fifteen, and the usual age is between
fifteen and twenty-five. Polygamy now
practically no longer exists, although in
ancient times the Burmese were pOlyga-
mists as well as shareholders. Most
Burmese have only one wife, and few
more tAan two. The first, or head wife,
is usually the choice Of the husband in
his youth, and when she ceases to have
children she often assists in the choice Of
young wife, who is bound to obey
her. The case with which divorce IS
obtained is said to be Que OF the causes
why polygamy is so rare. The terms of
divorce are based on ancient rules, one
of which is that the party wishing the
separation can take his or her property
and no more; the other party takes all
the rest, n,o!nhng the children. The
safeguard against caprioa -, husbands is
not merely public opinion, wnIol-, con
dennis too frequent divorces, but I'm,
self-rcspect of women, which prevents
them from marrying man who has
divorced his wives too freely. The priv.
ilege Of perfect freedom in this respect is
said TO be rarely abused. Divorce is
very rare, n fact attributable equally,
perhaps, to the high position occupied
by women in Burmese society, tho care
with which rtrriugc contracts arc Cn.

NOVEL CLOCK.

le little town of Amedee, in Lassen

claims to be the hottest mineral springs

height OF five or six feet every thirty

appearance will be that Of the ordinary

will he small lead box, from which will
project n small steel lever, the outer end
OF which is slightly widencd to offer re-
slstancc to the water as it spurts upward.
This lever is really tho terminus of one
OF two wires that communicate with the
clock. This lever is on n knuckle Joint
hidden in the box, that will allow it to
play upward but not downward below
the level
Behind the face Of the cock is merely

ute hand, brass dog, which is soldcrcd

cal with that Of the ordinary Telegraph
instrument, and jar Of gravity battery.
The lever in the little load box bears cX-
actly the same relation to the magnet in
the clock rs the key of the telegraph in
strumcnt does to the sOuudcr.
When the water bursts from the gcyser
it carries the little lever up far enough to
come in contact with the other terminus
and the connection is made. The mag
net draws the armaturc and dog to it,
which moves the ratchet wheel Ogc

When the gcyser subsidies the current is
broken and an opposing coil spring pulls
back the dog in readiness for the next
move. The hour hand is moved every
quarter hour only.
