For more than a century, from
1859 to 1850, the tulip had an undis-
puted reign till a rival appeared in
the shape of a double hyacinth.
Rea says of the "hyacinth, or ia
cinth:" 1t is "of divers sorts, and
many of them of small esteem. =
Some double varieties were, howev-
er, known at that time, three being
mentioned by Bauhin, but the double
kind from which modern ones have
been derived was raised at the end of
the seventeenth century by Peter
Voorhelm, "a celebrated Dutch florist.
The hyacinth was never quite such a
rage as the tulip, though during the
height of its popularity great prices
were paid for bulbs in Holland. It
is said as much as 1000 forms, or
about ESQ, was given for one root
by some enthusiastic Dutch collect
or.-Longman's Magazine.

The Curly Haired Juror.

1t is not generally known that
there is "a well defined prejudice
against curly haired men when il
comes to choosing a jury to try
criminal cases. The prejudice, when
it is manifested, comes from the de-
fense. When asked to explain the
objection to curly haired men, a
prominent practitioner said: when
] was just starting, my legal mentor
inculcated that idea in me. He said
that curly haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered dar-
lings of their parents, and in their
youth had been SO used to having
their own way that they had come
to believe that everybody on earth
was wrong except themselves. In
this way the seeds of opposition
were sown, and when they grow
older they make it a point to disa-
gree with everybody and every
thing. If everybody else on the
jury votes for acquittal, they vote
for conviction as matter of course.
They live on combat and are as stub
born as the days are long. A curly
haired man never gets on the jury

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!''

This very common acclaim
among our Cherokee statesmen;
but what it is that should be done,
few, indeed none, are able to say;
or, if able, are not disposed to say.
Yes, something should be done,
but for whom? For the outs who
want to get in, or for the ins who
are wanting to stay in? Who, if
anybody, is it that is wanting to do
anything for the people, the poor,
poor, people, further than simply
to get their help in climbing into
lucrative position.
The great political campaign is
now upon US, hot and getting
hotter. Candidates for chief are
as plentiful as huckleberries in

them because they are our neigh
bors. They are all Toms, Dicks,
Joes and Harries; we know them
well enough. But as to what they
think of the public questions that
are now pressing upon the minds
and sensibilities of the people, or
what is to be their course in refer
ence to these great public questions
in case they are elected, we know
nothing, nothing at all. Their
mouths are closed as to what they
intend to do with us when we give
them power to do it. They either
know nothing to say, or else are

DRAMA AND LITERATURE.


Their Distinctions and the Relation of
the One to the Other.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment of their work
in accordance. with the principles of
another art, and at last they have
succeeded in convincing the more
open minded of us that what is of
prime Importance in picture is tho
way in which it is painted and that
its merely literary merit is quite
secondary. They are not unreason-
able when they insist that the chief
duty of picture is to represent the
visible world, not to point moral
or adorn tale, and that in the ap-
probation of picture we must
weigh first of all its pictorial beauty.
Nor are the sculptors asking too
much when in statue they want
US to consider chiefly its plastic
beauty.
Now, the orator and the dramatist
ask for themselves what has been
granted the painter and the sculptor
they request that an Grafton or
drama shall be judged not as litera-
ture only, but also in accordance
with the principles of its own art,
and here the literary critic is even
less willing to yield. He may ac-
knowledge his own ignorance OF
perspective and of pigments, Of
composition and of modelling; he
may confess that here the painter
and the sculptor have him at dis
advantage, but he is not ready to
admit that he is not to apply his
own standards to the works of the
orator and of the dramatist.
On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and the play, if they
belong to literature at all, are, by
that very fact, absolutely within the
province of the literary critic. He
cannot see why that which the ora
tor and the dramatist may write is
not to be read and criticised exactly |
as that which is written by the nov
elist and the essayist and the poet.
Indeed it is almost a misrepresenta-
ton of the literary critics attitude
to suggest that he has need to main
tain this position, for it is rarely
even limited to him that he is not
fully justified in employing the
same tests in every department of
literature.
Yet nothing ought to be clearer
han the distinction between the
written word and the spoken, be-
ween the literature which is ad-
lressed to the eye alone and that
which is intended primarily for the
'ar and only secondarily for the

words written once for all and

SOME ZINE" WRITING.

Among the vicissitudes of life
nothing is SO capricious as diplo-
macy and war-and to carry out
the well accepted theory,-a wo-
mans love. II, for instance, the
Curtis bill is suspended in the
Cherokee nation, it to those people
will be another signature of King
John. Maybe it will do them
good, maybe an injury, but let us
hope that all will be beneficial
in either way. There is the grand
magnanimity of mercy-it is an
attribute, however applied, and
whether it is in granting amnesty,
in the chiyalrous treatment of a
Cervera, or the ''law's delays" ex-
tended in its fullest benefaction
toward the Cherokee nation-allis is
the same. Mercy to fallen foe
spells greatness-it is the sublima-
ton Of manhood and the deifca-
ton Of the grossness Of humanity.

only conduct of which he had been
guilty was humping the table at
which he was sitting to emphasize
a remark. OF course no notice was
taken of the affair, but, all the
same, the diplomatists of China
were offended, for In that country
it is an insult to the assembled com
pany to thump the table.
1t only shows how careful one
should be in foreign country. In
England, if friend is visiting an
other and stays to dinner, he may
ask for the loan of hairbrush with
out giving offense, but i'll Hungary
he may not. To attempt to borrow
that useful article is one of the
greatest insults which can be offered
to a Hungarian and one which will
in most cases cause duel.
In France there are several insults
which the unwary foreigner may
offer without knowing it. For ex-
ample, he may be visiting a friend
and may put his hat upon the bed.
This is. grievous form of insult,
but why it is not known. 1t is a
very ancient one, and SO probably
results from an old superstition.
Again, there are two ways OF
pouring out wine in France, as ev-
erywhere else. One of these is to
hold the bottle so that while pour
ing the thumb is facing the table
cloth. The second way is to hold
the hand reversed-that is, with the
knuckles downward-and this is
great insult to the assembled guests
and the host, a far greater insult
than drinking health in water, and
that is pretty serious in France.
Germany has some curious forms
of insult. To begin with, to offer
rose or any other flower without
any green or leaves with it to lady
is to deeply ins.llt her, though why
this should be SO is not known pre-
cisely.
The German students are formed
into corps, some of which are fight
ing corps and others not. Each
corps has its distinctive cap, and
when member of one meets an.
other in the street it is etiquette for
each to doff his cap. Should the
other not respond a complaint is
made to his corps, and a duel is
fought-a real duel, with sabers or
pistols, not the fencing duel which
is pastime in Germany, just as foil
ing or single stick is in England-for |
the insult is nearly the worst that |
can be offered.
There is one worse, and that is
spilling or ficking beer over another
student purposely. No apology will
wipe out this offense. Nothing
will, except duel to the death or
a duel which is continued until one

Nearly 30 years ago the town
site of Vinita was selected by Col.
E. G. Boudinot, one of the most
distinguished Cherokee statesmen
the tribe ever produced. Before
the Frisco reached the crossing of
the Katy, Boudinot, getting on the
advice of railroad men, selected the
present site. II is peculiarly fa-
vorably located and is in the very
heart of one of the finest stretches
of country on the habitable globe.

To give just how many dollars
worth of goods are sold in Vinita
in year is impracticable. Com
mercial travellers, "drumm ers, "
tell us the city has greater volume
of trade than any place of it's size
they visit and merchants and busi-
ness men from the states tell us
they have never seen anything to
compare with it. The town en-
joys practically all the trade of
consequences for scope of country
fifty miles square. An inspection
of the business announcements in
this paper and better still an in.
spectlon OF our stores, will give
ample evidence to substantiate the
claim made.
Lest some of the wholesale men
among our visitors may be dis
posed to question this statement
of Vinita's trade, a little history
may perhaps be profitably related.
There were merchants selling
goods in this country half GEN.
tury before there were any colleo-
tion laws. For twenty-five years
of this time Kansas City had sew.
eral important wholesale houses.
but seldom travelling salesman
came south of Chetopa, at the
Kansas line. The idea of selling
goods without the machinery of
the courts to enforce payment was
not an attractive one. With the
new dispensation came the Kansas
City drummer" but he came in
a measure handicapped, SO far as
The old merchants were concerned.
They were 10th to desert the town
which had stood by them in other
lays and for several years gave
st. Louis the preference. But this
prejudice has to great extent dis.
ippeared-possibly to the regret of ,
ome of our visitors. From this
ime forward our business rela.
ions with Kansas City will stead
ly increase, to the mutual advan-
age of that city and of this coun-
ry.
