A Snfe Proceeding.

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the civil war and
afterward ambassador TO France, was
a diplomatist TO the core. He was ex-
ceedingly tactful in action and had the
rare art OF keeping his own counsel
When Sir Edward Blount called upon
him one day at the embassy in Paris
he found that a well known journalist
had preceded him. The visitor was lay.
ing down the law in a loud tone. and
when, after his departure, Sir Edward
was received, be took the liberty Of
saying:
MAY be allowed TO ask II it is quite
wise TO discuss state secrets in such a
loud tone? | heard every word that

Tn. Cherokee. and Pory,heism.

The Cherokee Indian was originally
a polytheist To him the spirit world
was only a shadowy counterpart OF
this one. He had no great spirit, no
happy hunting ground, no heaven, no
hell-all Of which ideas were first in
troduced TO the American aborigines
by Christian missionaries. Consequent.
ly death had for him no terrors, and he
awaited the inevitable end with no
anxiety as TO the future. All his pray
ers were for temporal and tangible
blessings-for health, for long life, for
success in the chase, in fishing, In war
and IN love, for good crops, for protec.
ton and for revenge.
