The Capture of an Orcn;d.

Among the flowers of tropical lands
none are more priced for their beauti-
full and curious forms and fragrant
scent than the orchids. which grow in
all sorts of odd places. but mostly OF
the ground, or pcrched high up amon;:
the branches OF the trees.
The orchids of the Guiana forests
provide Il home for the black ants
free. gratis and for nothing
Why! Because they prey upon the
~eockroaches. which would otherwise
destroy the plant by eating up its juici-
est portions.
SO that when Il human orchid-hunter-
tries to capture Il plant. he has to reck-
on with thousands of tiny foes that
fight to the very last.
After the plant has been dislodged
from the trec-no easy task-it is us,l-
III to attach it TO Il long bamboo pole
and throw it into the river. until the
ants are thoroughly washed out of 1t.
And all the time the boat has to he.
Kept up stream and the pole carefully
watched lest the ants come aboard.
By-and-by the insects confess them
selves beaten. and the orchid-seeker-
retircs with his dearly won prize.

There was a great Tartar Chief,

a minority of the Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs is decidedly opposed to
free lands for settlers. The report OPP
poses the bill m the general grounds of
the vast expense its adoption would en-
tail upon the government. Commencing
with the year 1850 the government has
purchased 3333,2252.5lO acres of land from
the Indians. agreeing to pay $25,261. 1851
for it, besides SS3,OU0,000 set apart as a

opened to settlement upon Indian reser-
vations heretofore coded shall be taken
up, the sum to he paid therefor by the
settlers will be $685., .OO6.S6. This bill.
proposes to release the settlers from the
payment of this sum-" y
The report calls attention to the fact
that it was provided in the acts bearing
upon those settlements with the different
tribes of Indians that settlers should pay
sufficient for the lands to reimburse the
government for the money paid the In
dians. Several million acres of land are
embraced in these pending agreements.
The bill as it passed the House applied
only to lands in Oklahoma. but by the
amendments made by the Senate COM
mittee the provisions of the bill are en-
tended to all coded Indian lands, the
amount being more than three times that
contemplated in the bill as it passed the
louise. All the lands on the Iudian res
efvation thus opened for settlement have,
been paid for by the government before
the opening of the same. except in the
case of the Cherokee outlet, where pay
ment was to be made in instalments. and
the sun of S4,9SO,0O0 still remains un-
paid. and in the case of the Great Sioux,
Chippewa and Colville reservations,
where the Indians are to be paid as the
government shall receive money from the
settlers upon disposal of the lands.
Another amendment proposed to the
bill in effect requires that the government
shall. upon releasing the settlers from
payment of their obligations. pay the In
dams for these lands the sum per acre
which by law is now to be paid by the
settlers. "lf." Il the report, "this
amendment shall be adopted and the bill
pass, the government would be called
upon to pay in the future, including the
amount not yet due in the Cherokee out
let purchase, a sum approNimating S15.-
OOO,OOO."
The report calls attention to the fact
that negotiations are in progress for the
acquisition of other Indian lands, which
are being conducted upon the policy that
the government shall be reimbursed for
its OUTLAWS.
