tree was blown down in March,

up one of the few suckers that
were growing from the roots and
planted it on Gen divers fathers
place at Fort Hamilton N. Y.
The young tree grew TO an enor.

Oliver had it dug up and carefully
removed to his home in Laurel

A NATIONAL soouRaE.
The Subject of Divorce Discussed
by DR.. Talmage.

DR.. Talmage preached a sermon
last Sunday in the Academy OF
music, New York, on the subject
of divorce, and characterized the
easy divorce laws of many Of the
states as a national scourge. Sub
Joined in a part OF the sermon:
A righteous divorce law will also
do much to hinder hasty and incon-
siderate marriages. Under the
impression that one can be easi y
released, people enter the relation
without inquiry and without re-
Election. Romance and impulse
rule the day. Perhaps the only
ground for the marriage compact is
that she likes his looks and he ad-
mires the graceful way she pi sses
around the ice cream at the picnicl
1t is all they know about each 9TH
er. It's all the preparation Tor
life. A woman that could not
make a loaf of bread to save her
life will swear to cherish and obey.
A Christian will marry an atheist,
and that always makes conjoined
wretchedness; for ifa man does not
believe there is a God, he is neith-
er to be trusted W n a dollar nor
with your lifet. e happiness.
Having read much about love in a
cottage, people brought up in ease
will go and starve in hovel.
By the wreck of ten thousand
homes, by the holocaust of ten
thousand sacrificed men and We
men by the hearth stone of the
family which is the cornerstone
of the state, and in the name Of
that God who hath set up the fam
lily institution and who hath made
the breaking of the marital oath
the most appalling of all perjuries,
| implore the congress of the Unit
ed States to make some righteous,
uniform law for all the states and
from ocean to ocean, on this sub
ject of marriage and divorce.
Let me say to the hundreds OF
young people in this house this
afternoon, before you give your
heart and hand in holy alliance
use all caution, inquire outside as
to habits, explore the disposition,
scrutinize the taste, question the
ancestry and find out the ambi.
tions. Do not take the heroes and
herOines of cheap novels for q
model. Do not put your lifetime
happiness in the keeping OF a man
who has a reputation for being a
little loose in morals, or in the
keeping Of a woman who dresses
fast. Remember that while gooC
looks are kindly gift Of God
wrinkles or accident may despoil
them. Remember that Byron was
no more celebrated for his beauty
than for his deprivity. Remem,
Der that Absalom's hair was moi
more splendid that his habits were
dispicable. Hear it, hear i'll The
only foundation for happy mar.
riage that has ever been or evel
will be is good char acter.
Ask God whom you shall marry
If you marry at all. A union form.
ed in prayer will be a happy un.
ion, though sickness pale the
cheek, and poverty empty the
bread tray, and death open the
small graves, and all the path o.
life be strewn with thorns, from
the marriage altar with its wed
ding march and orange blossoms
clear down to the last farewell a
that gate where Isaac and Rebecca
Abraham and Sarah, Adam anC
Eve, parted.

Nor long ago some boys got into
trouble in this town on account Of
going into one OF the gambling
houses, it being against the city
ordinance, and they were there
fore elected. OF course it is worth
something to the community to
have the youth Of the town kept
out of such places, and every
mother in the city thanks God
from the depth of her heart for
even this little protection. But is
it not fact that the average man
should feel very much ashamed to
enter place that he is not willing
for his boy to enter? And is il not
fact that gambling houses and
games Of chance are in open viola
tion Of law in this town? Most
assuredly so; and the men who
constitute our city government
have held up their right hands and
taken a solemn oath to righteously
administer the law. Are they
doing it2 Every woman and child
in town knows that they are not
doing it. Let candid public sit
in judgment.

Now LET everybody notice and
see whether citizens of the Chero-
kee nation or the intruders go the
farthest to defraud the nation
out of the appraised improve
ments. All over this country
Cherokee citizens are claiming
farms that have been appraised and
are properly the property of the
nation. Patriotism is one of the
last arts, so far as this nation is
concerned.

SURVEYING TO BEGIN.
"seotionizing," That Great Bug
a-Boo, Upon Us.


A special dispatch of the 10Th
from Washington states that Pro.
fessor Wolcott, director of the geo
logical survey, is making arrange.
ments to begin surveying in the
Indian Territory. II is expected
to get parties in the field by the
first of next month, and the work
will be rushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
Surveying parties are to be fitted
out at Kansas City and sent into
the field, making survey prepar-
atory to allotting lands to the In
dians and breaking up tribal re-
lations, and it is proposed to make
another appropriation at the next
session to complete the work. II
is estimated that it will take s400,.
600 to do this, and by making an.
other appropriation at the next
session, the work can in this way
be completed about as quickly as
if the entire amount had been al.
lowed by the last congress. The
house cenferrees held to their po
sition by way of keeping down thC
grand total of appropriations. II
was stated by Professor Wolcot
that the first work will be to deter
mine a base line to run near the
south side of the Indian country
The next thing will be to rur
meridian lines north through tn,
country. From these lines section
lines will be ran, dividing tn,
country into sections, ready for al
lotment. At first, two pcrties viii
be sent out, and within a montl
possibly ten parties will be at worl
and by July, or possibly by June

"That in all payments or disburse-

discretion, to detail an officer from

compensation, not to exceed two
hundred dollars per month when
actually employed, for the servi-

SAINT PATRroK's DAY.

Last Sunday, the 18th day Of
March, was at least one sacred
sabbath to all loyal sons of the
Emerald Isle. 1t was Saint Pat
rick's Day, the anniversary Of the
death of could Ireland's" most
cherished patron saint. If there
is a town on earth that loves to
celebrate, and commemorate great
events, and keep any and all sorts
of anniversaries, that town is vi
nita, and there is no more loyal
sons of Erin anywhere than here,
as is attested by the knots Of green
ribbon. green hat bands or boughe
Of evergreens worn on Saint Pat
rick's Day. On these days men
bloom out in green and assume a
marked Irish brogue who no one
ever thought Of as being "Irish. :"
On these days men with Cherokee
blood in their veins, or with Shaw
nee, or Delaware, or even white,
don their green and go out to re-
deem bleeding Ireland. On these
occasions the sight of yellow

red rag to a bull is nothing com
pared to yellow to a patron of the
good Saint Patrick.
According to the most generally
accepted chronology of the time,

deeming Ireland at about the age
of twenty; was thrown into an Ir
ish dungeon and languished there
ten years. After regaining hi:
liberty he continued to be n mis-
sionary until his death in the year
465, the day now kept sacred tC
his memory.
At the time of st. Patrick, Ire
land was occupied by a number oI
petty tribes, more or less savage
but were eventually evangelical by
Patrick and his followers. AnC
so we'll was the work accomplish
ed that Ireland was known in sub
sequent centuries as "Island of the
Saints" The method employed
was that of dealing gently and
cautiously with the old paganisms
OF the people, TO which they had
become attached. The cilieftains
were first won over aud then
through them the clans. OF Pat.
rick himself much that has been
related, doubtless, is fabulous and
legendary. But his autobiograph.

simple minded, warm hearted, un.

find no mention of the Pope, and
no trace of purgatory, auriculal

gin, while salvation by faith anc

clearly taught. Peace to Saint
