These two formerly distinct but kindred
tribes are new united in the Indian ter
ritory. r The Creeks are the remnants of a great
tribe who call themselves Huskekees. and
whose traditions run back for several hun
dred years te a time when they occupied
a region in the far west and northwest.
Frem there they commenced moving
eastward and southward, righting ether
Indian nations as they come. If a nation
submitted they despoiled it and moved
en; If it fought them te the bitter end
they adopted its principal warriors as
cltuens. The result was that when they
reached their permanent settlement in
Mississippi and Alabama they consisted
of five separate peoples the Ceweetas,
Hitchitees, Nachees, Uchccs and All All
bamens, and four different lan
guages are spoken in the Hub Hub Hub
kokee nation today. Tbe Cowee Cewee

original Muskekecs. The Ucheea, Nach

Creeks removed during his administra

and since then their progress in civil iza iza

I The Cherokees have been known for a
hundred years as the aristocracy of the
North American Indians, and by a rare
.'conjunction of circumstances their his
tory is known te us for nearly 800 years.
.When the white people landed upon tbe
Atlantic coast they found an Indian race
cauing mcmseives waupanucir.ee, who
'extended from New Yerk te Seuth Caro
lina. The tribe new celled the Dcla
wares has claimed, and is conceded by
.the ether Indians, te have been the
original stock of the Waupanuckee; and
from them the Powhatan Indians of
jVirginla and the Cherokees are de
scended. After various wars with the
white peeple the
British ana Caro

CHEEOKEB CHIEF. cffectdrOVO back
the Cherokees te the western part of
North Carolina and upper Georgia,
,which Is today known as Cherokce
Georgia; and the memory of the tribe
'still survives in tbe local names, such as
'Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Ettewah,
Oettenaula and Cenncsauga. At the
close of the American revolution a very
'remarkable emigration took place, which
'profoundly affected the character of the
Cherokee nation. In both the Carellnas
I was a conslderablo population of Teries
of a much higher grade socially and In
tellectually than these of whom we hear
most. These Scotch and British Teries
were very largely Presbyterian in faith
and wcre a wealthy and enterprising
people. The clese of the American revo
lution made their social position Intoler
able, and they gathered up their mova meva mova
ble property and almost en masse went
,weet of the mountains and were absorbed
into the Cherokee nation. They intro
duced the Bible, the common school, the
loom, the anvil and the printing press.
They intermorried with the Cherokees
and their names are still in that tribe,
such as Ress, Mackintosh, Ridge, Boudl Beudl Boudl
net and ether family names. During
'the administration of Gcerge "Wasliing "Wasliing
ten the first formal treaty was made
with the Cherokees, and nineteen suc
cessive treaties have been made, ending
in the comprehensive treaty of 1800,
which guarantees te them possession for
all time of the country they new occupy
in the Indian territory.
The nation was already well organized
politically in Georgia, and the question
of .Its removal by ferce from its ancient
seat was ene of the most exciting in
'American political literature. The wrongs
of the Cherokees were celebrated in prese
and verse. Some of the most affecting
pieces of oratory te be found in Amer
ican works of rhetoric were uttered in
'courts and elsewhere in their defense
But It was idle te contend against the
.united action of the whites in Georgia
and adjacent states.
A traveler along the main lines through
the Cherokce nation today will net meet
ene person in ten of pure Indian bleed,
and yet such are in the majority, ns
shown by the census. But they live in
the timber and in the valleys remote
from the publie read. Ever bince the
Cherokees located in their present coun
try they have maintained the policy of
Inviting the fragments of ether tribes te
loin them, and one by ene net less than
thirteen little Indian nations liave sunk
their tribal organizations, taken "head
rights" among the Cherokees and become
citizens of the nation. Of these the most
noted are the Wcaws, Plankeahaws and
Miamls, of Indiana; the Shawnees,
Wyandettea and ethers, of Indiana, Illi
nois and Canada; theScnecas and ethers,
of New Yerk; the Pottawatemles, uau-

At the outbreak'ef the American civil
war all the Indians of the territory were
in a highly prosperous condition, and
the wealth of the Cherokees in horses
and cattle was estimated as high as (10,
000 te the family. The division among
them had even mero bloody and ruinous
results than among the whites. A ma
jority adhered te the Southern Conf cd cd
eraey and en Indian regiment fought en
that side at the battle of Pea Ridge. At
the close of the war the Indian territory
was almost a waste, and notwithstand

Most noted of these, and known te
scholars all ever the world, was the cele
brated Sequoyah, better known te his
own peeple as Gcerge Guess, the ten of
a Scotchman and a Cherokce woman, the)
Cadmus of the wilderness, who invented
a system of letters and reduced the
musical language of the Cherokees te
writing.
The divisions between these tribes be
fore then removal from the states turned
mostly upon the question of deeding their
land ana removing, and the bitterness
consequent upon these divisions was se
great that many terrible murders were
committed and feuds created which ex
ist in some fore te this day. All these
were cruelly aggravated by the divisions
that arose during the civil war. At the
close of that war the government of the
United States virtually decided that all
pre-existing treaties had been nullified
by the action of the tribes during the
war, and the entire policy of the govern
ment towards these civilized Indians was
te a great extent changed by the general
acts and treaties of 1800, by which the
Indians agreed that railroads should run
through the territory and that all their
unoccupied lands should be devoted te
the settlement of ether tribes. Pursuant
te this agreement, the Osagcs and Kaws
have been located west of the Cherokees.
The Kiowes, Cemanchea and Arapa Arapa
hecs occupy a very large region, and the
affiliated bands of Wldhitas, Kcechles,
Wncecs. Tawacanlcs, Caddees, Ienics and
many ethers occupy the wild country,
even te New Mexico. The Modecs, a
remnant of Capt. Jack's band, wcre given
a location tliere in 1878, and fragments
of ether tribes from oil portlensiof tha
west have since been located In the neigh
borhood. The peeple have long since become
self supporting, but agencies are still
maintained. The territory cannot, as a
whole, be called fertile. Net mero at
the outeide than one-third of its area is
geed agricultural land,
but a large part of the
rest is valuable for tim
ber and grazing. In
short, it may be said
that with even a mod
erate improvement in
civilization and cultiva
tion of the ground the
territory would today
support in great com
fort all the Indians
east of the Recky
mountains. Game
is 6till very abun
dant, especially of
the smaller kinds.
Nearly all the
fruits and grains
cnecTAWs. of the temperate
zone can be produced, and peaches,
pears, plums, cherries and ether
small fruits particularly flourish. The
government is peculiar. The jurisdiction
of the United States extends ever the
territory for all cases in which a white
man net a citizen of any Indian nation
in the territory la a party. A district
court is held at Fert Gibsen in the
Cherokce nation, but for oil ordinary
ceses for the domestie relations they have
their own Indian courts. The subject of
a territorial government has been a burn
ing question among the Indians for
twenty years, and organization has pro
ceeded se far that the name Oklahoma
has been given te the proposed territory
and expected state; but of late years the
project has in a great measure been
abandoned, and the title Oklahoma is
new given te the disputed tract in
the central and northern section
of the territory, which, according
te the claims of white settlers,
docs net belong te the Indians,
but Is publie land open te settlement.
After numerous attempts te locate en
this land In which "Oklahoma Payne"
bocame se noted, and his cause was vig
orously maintained by bis successors,
the government has expelled oil the
settlers, and at present holds the territory
for the location of such tribes of Indians
as may be brought from ether sections.
But a bill is befere congress, called the
Springer bill, which organizes the ter
ritory in much tbe same manner as ether
American territories are organized, and
provides for settlement en the disputed
land.

la tha wisdom of tha framers of the
United States government in placing the
machinery for selecting the president la
ths hands of the state, rather than de
elding the question by popular majority.
The lady thus states her plan:
Nqw, as a remedy for all these evils,
te take the affairs of government out of
the bands of politicians, parties and tee
tienalista; te restore power where it
rightfully belongs te the states and
their people; te prevent corrupt bar
gains with caucus nominees; te secure
te each state in its turn the privilege of
furnishing an occupant for the presi
dential chair; te educate our future
presidents for the proper performance of
their duties, thus applying civil service
reform te the highest as well as te the
subordinate offices; te abolish general
elections for president and te establish a
mere just and perfect Union, the fellow
Ing plan is suggested!

We would have no vlce president te

cod no man into temptation nor subject
him te suspicions of foul practices for
the purpese of promotion. We would
have no interregnum, for at the death of
a president his place would be immedi
ately supplied by let We would thus
place our future presidents In a high
school of governmental science, se that
when they came into office they would
knew something of their duties and be

Ne ene man's shoulders are Atlontcen

Heuso of Deaconesses, a magnificent
structure erected en the grounds of the
German hospital, presented by Jehn D.
Lankcnau as a memorial te bis wife, tbe
daughter of the late Francis M. Drexcl,
is new ready for occupants.
The Institution had its origin from the
fact that seme of the aged inmates of the
German hospital when discharged, hav
ing no homes te go te, and hav
ing beceme accustomed te leek en the
hospital as home, begged that they
might be permitted te remain. Fer seme
years a number of Lutheran deaconesses,
including their superior, all from Ger
many, wcre In attendance upon the sick
in the hospital. They wcre se efficient
that the trustees sent te Germany for
mere. They were unsuccessful in secur
ing the sisters, Inasmuch as they were
being sent te Egypt, Asia Miner and the
Hely Land.'where mother houses had
been established for years. The trustees
determined te establish a mother house of
their own. Mr. Lankcnau then built the
edifice and presented it te the trustees.
A mother heuse being necessarily a re
ligious institution, the cait wing is given
te the sisters and the west ing te the
aged.
The new building was begun in Sep
tember, 1880, and the corner stene laid
in November, 1837. The structure fronts

The Spartans anil Music.
The favorite problem of thinkers and
teachers, since thought began, has been
te find some engine of ecucatlen which
blieuld reacli me cnarecier as eueciuauy
as the ordinary means of training touch
the understanding; and In the opinion
of many, net men alene but nations,
musle was such an engine "It Is music,"
said the Spartans, "which distinguishes
the brave man from the coward." "A
man's music is the seurce of his courage."
It was theirjnusie which enabled Lconi Lceni
das and hlsthrce hundred te cunqur i-t
Thcrmopyke. It was musle which taught
the Spartan youths hew te die in the
wrestling ring or en the field of battle.
These claims are audacious surely. Yet,
when we consider hew the rhythmical
tread of the brave man differs from
the agitated shamble of the coward,
hew inueie is the art of human iey, and
hew joy and ropeso of mind are the main
elements of manly fortitude we sliall at
any rate admit that thcre i3 a 6treng
affinity somewhero; our only difficulty
will be te acknewledge that music, de
liberately applied, could ever be the di
rect cause of these reputed results. Te
achleve the end desued Spartan boys
passed their youth in learning tunes,
hymns and songs; this was their 6ele
mental culture They were taught te
dance nnd keep step te the measure of
the songs as they sang them. And, grown
te manhood, new perfect warriors,
marched Inte battle with smiling faces,
crowned with flowers, calm, joyful and
serene, and, Intoning their songs, moved
steadily thus into the thickest of the
fight, undisturbed and irresistible. The
bend that lends our armies te the field of
battle nowadays is a scant survival of
Spartan practice, yet even in this musle
by proxy there tire many elements of
iijfitrment te cvrnse. The National

HOW THE ARMY OF THII MILITARY
COUNTRY IS CONSTITUTED.
XJahl te Service at the Ace of 17-Half
' Millien Armeit Jin Alwar Bead
fer'SVrrlce Ever Man a Soldier Hew
the TeepU Take It.
The German boy who reaches the age
of 17 becomes llable te scrvtce in the
army, and this liability continues until
he is 42. If he is net fit for actlre service
he, is relegated te a rcserve ferce net
called out unless thcre is danger of In
vasion. Fer nearly his whele active life,
therefore, the German lives in a species
of military sen Itude that hampers him
should he desire te emigrate, and may be
full of petty annoyances te him if he
does net.
Under ordinary circumstances the
German lad steps into the ranks at the
age of 20. Ter three years he serves
with the colors, the next four years he
is in the reserve, and the following fire
years he belongs te the Landwehr,
another reserve mere remote than the
first. Of these twelve years the first
thrce are occupied entirely in scvere
military work. The most stupid peasant
under a system se thorough as Ger
many a must be stupid beyond recovery If
he docs net turn out an nlert, obedient
and well trained soldier. Frem the time
he takes his oath of allegiance te his
military superior, the kaiser, he renoun
ces the civil responsibilities and rights of
a citizen. With the less of his vote he is
taught that the sooner he forgets politi
cal matters the better for him as a sol
dier. His life is completely engrossed
with barrack routine and military ideas.
His only law Li the law of court martial;
his only duty is te obey without ques
tion, and the interpreter of Ids duty Is
the captain of his company.
With the putting en of his uniform he
becomes one of an army which in times
of peace numbers 408,400 men, thoroughly
equipped, admirably trained and ready
te fellow their officers anywhere, from
the storming of a Russian redoubt te
charging a mob of werklngmen en
itrike. The soldier of the German em
pire ceases te boaBavarian,aWurtom beaBavarian,aWurtom boaBavarian,aWurtem
bergcr or a Saxen when he steps into fhe
ranks." His military scrvice is personal
te the emperor, from whom he recelvea
his orders, te the exclusion of all ether
authority. Everything that he sees and
hears in the army Is calculated te im
press upon his mind that liis particular
Itate and Its particular publie men are of
very little consequence compared with
an ompcrer who has absolute power ever
an army such as he belongs te. He also
lenrns that fidelity te his duties as a
soldier is ene of the few as well as euro
means of securing Liter in life a position
in that great class of men whose salaries
ceme from the taxes of the peeple and
whose appointments hang upon the fa
vor of the government.
Every soldier dreams of the day when
he shall possibly be promoted as non
commissioned emccr, and at the end of
bis term be given a berth in the railway,
telegraph or posteflico service, possibly
en the police force.
The peace footing of the German army,
408,400, becomes In tlme of war a. fight
ing force of nearly 1,500,000, commanded
by 83,427 officers. A careful estimate
mnde by Huge HInze in The Berlin
Natien of Jan. 14, 1888, shows that Ger
many has today 0,204,000 men trained te
arms between the ages of 17 and 49. The
experience of the France-German war
has taught that te every 1,000 men tliore
iheuld de at least 4.5 officers in the
sctive army and reserve, and from 20 te
81.7 te tbe 1,000 in the less responsible
reserves called Landsturm and Ersatz
truppen troops designed te previde
home defense only. On this scale the
German fighting ferce calls for at least
77.208 officers, maklncr a irrand total
fighting force of 8,841,253 en army
greater In numbers than the population
of all the United States when it became
an independent power a century age.
Ie this must be added 27,000 mere who
are surgeons, paymasters, vctcrinaries.
srmerers, saddlers, officials of various
kinds and 012,000 horses.
Te raise the pcace footing of the, army,
te treble Its size in twenty-four hours, the
most careful system Is observed. Offi
cials in every nook and corner of the em
pire knew exactly where they can find
every able bodied man who has served
bis first thrce years and Is new thcrcfore
In the reserve. Then they knew just
bow many uniforms and acceutermenU
tre noeded and where they can put their
lingers en them at a moment's notice
Iheee well drilled officials besides knew
every horse in their district, what he can
de, and what he can be Impressed for;
they have a record of all the farm
wagons that may be needed en the
march; they have minute information as
te the whereabouts of every truss of hay
w bag of eats, as well as every pig, cow,
or calf that might be needed.
Te illustrate: Notions age (1888) at a
certain small town en the main line be
tween Berlin and Mete the station mas
ter, who is also the head of the mobiliz
ing district, received en order te prcpare
COffoe for-2,600 men at 4 o'clock in the
sf ternoen and dinner for an equal num
ber at 0:20 o'clock of the same day,
nils order he received exactly thrce
hours befere the troops were te arrive
ind had no ether warning.
The 2,800 men came, had their coffee,
ind wcre off. At 0:80 came another de
tachment of 2,800 men. These were
lervcd with a dinner, consisting of boiled
mutton, broth and vegetables, all boiled
In fourteen huge pets,kept for the purpese
clese te the station. Each of these pets
cooks enough for 200 mnn at ene time, se
that with fourteen such the dinner for
2,800 can be ecrved up in a short tlme
titer the materials are produced.
When, thcrcfore, the order comes from
the emperor that the troops are te be

man in the country between the age of
17 and 43 knows exactly what is expected

The better class of JapanesawMaea
are by no tneans uneducated. They re
celve, I am told, a better training than
the women of any ether OriMtal nation,
and they are better treated than these of
any ether AaJatie nation. The Japanese
girl can, as a rule, read and write Ja
panese She learns all about household
matters, nnd she takes the whole charge
of the household. This is her sphere,
and she is known as the honorable mis
tress of the household. Her husband has
no right te be meddling with the cooking
stove. She pays the servants and the
market bills. In the case of the poorer
merchants she often acts ns ene of the
clerks In the stores and takes the place of
the husband when he is net present.
In the country you will find her often
working iu the fields, and nt Nikko I
taw great numbers of women who acted
as tbe leaders of pack horses carrying
copper and goods up and down the
mountains. Still, I think the women
here have an easier time than these of
the lower classes of Germany or, Hol Hel
land, and you bee fewer laber'hardened
faces among the ether sex here than you
de in many of the countries of Europe.
The wlfe Is, however, after all but little
better than the servant of the husband,
and the ties of marriage and dlvorce are
here se loeso that he can dlspense with
her at pleasure. Marriage in Japan is
net attended with the solemnity and re
ligious ceremony of the American wed
ding. It is a civil contract, and the ne
gotiations for it go en, as a rule,'through
the parents. The young man and woman
have no preliminary courtship, and the
seeing ene another for ene or two times
is tne only cnance tney have or deciding
whether there is any compatibility of
temperament. Frank G. Carpenter.
Thought It TVa the Tariff.
Old Unde Peter Simonsen was, iu his
day, ene of the richest of ante-bellum
planters, no owned and worked mero
than BOO slaves, and nearly all of the
river bottom lands along the Oemulgee
river between Hawklnsville and Macen,
Ga., wcre tended by Ids men.
He was quite a sportsman and spent
the greater portion of his -tlme hunting
about his plantations or fishing up and
down the river. He had been born nnd
raised of peer parents right upon tbe
Indian frontier, when the Creoles held
the greater portion of Georgia, and had
lived thcre all his life. He usually had
a negre boy along with him when he
hunted te carry home his game for him.
One day in the latter part of the year
1830, while hunting in the swamps about
six miles below Macen, his attention was
attracted by a singular noise. He has
tened te the river bank, when something,
the like of which he had never seen in
his life, came slowly around the bend
below him with flre and smoke and
much puffing. He lumped for his gun
and cluubcd the nearest poplar tree.
"Skin up that .ar tree, SamBe," old
Tcter yelled te the little darkles.
"All right, massn; what is it?"
"One of them or tariffs Pve hearn con
gress hev been threatening te send down
te destroy our craps and cat us up,
feathers en all." He sat upon a limb
with his rlfle 'in his hand until the
"thing" went out of sight around the
next point nboye him. It was the first
bteambeat that came up the Oemulgee ns
far ns Macou. Detroit Free Press.
Ebe SwaUewed the Car Fare.
If thcre Is any ene tiling that makes
the herse car conductors mad It is the
custom of seme folks of using their
mouths as purses for the car fares. It is
a great nulsance lb summer during travel
en the open ears where the conductor has
a full complement qf passengers. A
Lowlsten conductor ears that children
are tha worst. Some of them dlsgorge a
linndful of change, and he has te accept
it. One day a very pretty young lady
who was a guest In Auburn from a Mas
sachusetts town, was coming down from
the lake. She was one of a cay party of
half a dozen, and ther made merrv en
tbe down trip. Whoa he was ene seat
from her in his tour of the car be looked
ever at her. She was se pretty he couldn't
help It. Just as he looked he was pained
te notice a fearful chug Jn bcr coun
tenance. Her cheek blanched and she
seemed te choke. Her laugh died en her
lips, tee, and she Joked no mere. When
he get along te the party the young lady's
eyes were bedewed with tears. "I-'I
had seme money" Tbe conductor
with Infinite tact says that he lust passed
it along, saying: 'l knew all about it.
Yeu've swallcred it. I pcoyeudo It."
The young ladv blushed and the car
rattled along. A child wit,h five coppers
in its mouth is a fearful picture for the
conductor, but what de you think of ene
with C4 cents in its checks? Better buy
the youngsters 10 cent purses. Lowiiten

Steel Dead Ornament,
As the swell gtrl gees down Broadway,
fur trimmed and soft as te visible sur-
face, a chink chink of metal is sometimes
heard. That neise is made by the iru-
fect of her bead embroidered stockings.
t la a new freak te have our hosiery
heavily ornamented with steel beads en
the ankles and calves. New don't go te
suggesting that we might wear circlets
of semethlnff just above our hoofs llke
theso put en horses te kcep them from
"interfering." We want te interfcre
with the heart et man. Many a tlme
have veu read in novels hew the freu
freu of a dainty skirt or the swish of
mysterious draperies have set a chap te
fluttering ontimentelly. Well de we
knew that nlce little assaults en the man man
cullne cer draw tbe mosculme cye. Well,
that is the principle of the clinking stock
ings. It is as yet a genteel device. Of
course, it will be quickly vulgarized, as
the metal heeled goiters were, and thcre
are women in New Yerk naughty enough
te put net only bells en their tees, but
castlnets en their ankles and cymbals en
their knees, If thereby they, could com
mand attention. Clara Belle.
riayuis Card.
The first pack of playing cards of
which any copy Is preserved was in una
In Venlcq in ll3, and contained set cnly
cight cards in all, twentv-twe of which
wcre picture cards of very quaint char
acter. One picture card represented the
tlevil, another death, a third tbe moon.
a fourth the sun, while the fifth depicted
the judgment day. The Venetians called
It the came et tareta, and it wus no
doubt the original porent of the modern
card pack, with Us kings, queens,
knaves, etc The rrench developed the
game greatly, and It becatne the ttan
dard pastime of all the royal courts of
the Sixteenth century. Cards became fee
prominent a fcature et reclal life in
France that when the revolution came
new card packs wcre devised In which
