over the prospector's body, partly covered

His rifle was standing against the tree,

Indian Cultivation Of tho Soil.
Meehnn's Mopthlu.

Those who contend that the Indian Is in
capable of becoming a good agriculturist
take their cue from few isolated cases.
In most cases where failure has been re-
corded, the failure comes more from the
inability or incapacity of those who are
appointed by the Government to lead them.
Whoever has had the opportunity Of travel
ing through the country settled by the
Cherokees and Choctaws must have seen
quite as frequent evidence of agricultural
success among those people as could be
seen among white people anywhere. 1t
is, however, to be suggested that this is
chiefly on account of the country being
more favorable to agriculture than locali-
ties further north. But We learn from the
Helena Independent that the Crow Indians
are rapidly advancing in industrial agri-
culture. Crops have been raised, in The
Crow region, chiefly by irrigation. In less
than 10 years these Indians have con-
str,Icted eight large irrigating canals suf-
ficient to irrigate from 1000 to 10000 acres
each, and are now working on another that
is even larger. 1t is to extend for probably
so miles. A few white men are employed
as skilled artisans by the Indians; but the
work itself is done by them. 1t is said that
they are remarkably thrifty, not spending
all their money, but saving some, which is
invested in truly sensible and business
ways.

During the civil war, Mr.. Thomas Nc

many depredations. While Roger was
| in the army his parents changed their
residence and his letters failed to find
his people, and they not receiving any
tidings from their soldier boy, gave him
up as dead. However, such was not the
case. After Roger was discharged he
drifted South, and finally rounded up at
Craig, Mo-, where he married and settled
down, and where he still resides. One
day in looking over THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, he saw among the lists Of Re

The First Calling Gun.
Self Culture.


The early inception of the Calling gun
is wrapped in much obscurity. Some
French critics claim that their mitrailleuse
antedates it, but there is absolutely in
controvertible proof that not only Is that
not so, but that the French Government
made strenuous efforts to secure exclusive
control of Gatling's invention; failing
which their competing mitrailleuse quickly
followed the adoption af the Doctors gun
by the American authorities.
Some good Christians have claimed
that DIR. Gatling invented his famous
weapon from humanitarian motives,-
an argument which has some weight, as we
well know that mOb-or a regiment even
will very quickly get out of range and
danger when once it is known that such a
gun is facing them. The Doctor himself
calls his invention a "peace-maker," but,
with the greatest respect to him, | do not
believe he had any idea of saving life or any
thing of that sort in mind while at work
upon the gun, whatever he may have
thought of it since. There was field for
weapons, offensive and defensive, the more
murderouS the former the better, and from
what then existed in firearms and from the
fertility OF his own brain the Gatling gun
was eyolved,-the first of its kind.
His experimental gun was made and
tested before military men and experts at
Indianapolis in 1862. When the first lot
paid for by DR.. Gatling-was ready for
shipment to,Gen. Butler, the factory burned,
and with it his guns were destroyed and
his hopes blighted. Another year and
many thousands of dollars were spent to
remake the patterns and drawings and a
new batch OF guns,-a year of heart-burn-
ing, pinching, and sacrifice that many of
us, at some time or another, have expert
enced and therefore can sympathize with
the sufferer. Gen. Butler used some of
these guns on the James River near Rich
mond, and the way in which their inventor
cherishes the records of the execution
wrought by them is amusing when one
thinks of the humanitarian theories attri-
buted to their origin.
In 1856 the Government officially ap-
proved the gun and, after tests that make
an inventor shiver to think Of, placed an
order for 100.
Then not only did the Powers Of Europe
order guns, but SO did China, Japan, Siam,
Egypt, and the South American countries.
A machine gun that spread devastation in a
swath wider than a company of infantry,
and fired inch bullets at the rate of LEO a
minute To-day, fired electrically, its speed
is slightly in excess Of 5000 per minute!)
was a revelation to most foreign experts,
and no Christian or other Power could
long Withstand the temptation Of moving
down its Christian or other foes at any
such rate and by machinery.
