HISTORY OF INDIAN TRIBES.
A Complete and Comprehensive
Work.

Mr.. Lynch's history Of Ind
dian Territory is certainly
complete and comprehensive
work. The manuscript contains
six hundred closely written pages
Of solid history and two hundred
pages OF biography and miscellany.
Those who predicted that the work
would be on the order Of o 'Brien's
and a mere advertisement will
find themselves greatly mistaken.
II is pronounced by the publish
ers and by some of the leading
northern papers to be a work of
deep and thorough research, and
one that will take an important
place in American histories. Drs.
Fortner and Clinkscales, two Of
our most intelligent citizens, to

A SIGNAL FAILURE.

1t is said some radical changes
are are to be made by the interior
department with reference to the
administration Of affairs in the In
dian country. Whether the de.
partment is to abandon all at
tempts. to collect the tribal rev.
enues is not known, but the force
Of deputy revenue inspectors is
beirg reduced, and there in no
revenue being exacted Of anyone
but the hay men. The work has
been altogether very unsatisfactory
and very clumsily executed. The
Cherokees are olamoring for a
statement Of the amount collected
and placed to their credit, as no
such statement has ever been
made. Vast sums have been ex.
tracted from the business men,
-catilemen and hay shippers and
no account rendered TO the Indi.
ans. j. George Wright has never
seemed to understand the scope
aud limit OF his work and authori.
ty, and has rendered himself un.
popular by his imperial manners
and arisIocratic assumption Of
boundless authority: A year ago
he bad the full sympathy and help
Of the Indians and now they are
opposed to everything he does
His administration has been fail
ure and it is well the courts have
clipped his wings.

To every lover ofa dog there is
something of the pathetic In the
story Of the demoralized mastiff in
the Rue Dsumesnil. An elderly
gentleman was nearing his home
when the mastiff bounded upon
him and threw him down. A kind
ly couple who happened to be
passing came TO his assistance,
and with much solicitude set him
on his legs again. They scarcely
waited to be thanked and were
hurrying away when the police de-
tanned them and requested the old
gentleman to examine his pockets.
Sure enough, his purse and watch
had been transferred to the keep.

turned out that the mastiff was

An order Against Gambling.

w. b. Johnson, prosecuting at
torney for the southern district,
has promulgated an order against
gambling, in which he sounds a
warning order to churches and
Wholesale merchants. We did not
know it was as bad as that down
that way. The following is the
order: "The large gambler will
receive the same attention as the
one who participates on a small
scale. II may be interesting to
the churches aud wholesale mer-
chants when these prosecutions are
begun. / intend to treat all alike
without regard TO previous stand
ing or social surroundings" Mr..
Johnson also calls attention to the
fact that under the Arkansas laws
the buying or selling Of futures in
cotton or grain is gambling and
punishable by a fine Of not less

Gwynne drew a gun on the old man,
but the latter was too quick for him.
He knocked him down with fence rail

With JOY for me,
And robbed herself, with loving heart,

For me with willing hands she toiled
From day to day.
For me she prayed when headstrong
youth
Would have its way.
Her gentle arms, my cradle once,
Are weary now;
Aud Time has set the seal of care
Upon her brow.
And. though no other eyes than mine
Their meaning trace,

And, mid His gems, who showers gifts
AS shining sands,
