. ... 4 .1, .THE INVENTOR OF
THE CHEROKEE ALPHABET. ,
Ignorant of Any Language but II In Own,
' Ho Devised an Alphabet of Eighty-five
Letters, Which Hit People Use Today.
Every Full Wood Chorokee Reads It.
r
Many are aware of the existence of a
Cherokee alphabet, but few, perhaps, have
iiail access to a history of t he invention,
an J hardly any have any idea of the nature
tof the alphabet itself. It is to be wondered
that this remarkable display of genius has
not been more generally noticed by the
American people and u proper tribute paid
the untutored inventor.
It is not too late, however, to do justice
to this great benefactor of the Cherokee
Indians, who, by bis inventivo power, have
raised themselves to an elevation uiutt
taincd by any other tribe of Indians on the
American continent.
, Se-quo-yah, the inventor of tho Cherokee
alphal)et, has been justly referred to by on
eminent writer as tho "American Cadmus
nd Modern Moses." The appearance and
habits of So-quo-yah were thereof a full
blood Cherokee, though bis grandfather
on his father's side was a white man. lie
was educated in only the customs of his
nation, and at tho time of li is death was
Ignorant of any other language but his
own.
The exact timo and place of Se-quo-yah's
death is somewhat merged in obscurity,
but from the best authority it appeal's to
liavo occurred about 1S45, and Indian tra
dition tells us be died away from his peo
ple and in the heart of old Mexico, where
he had gone to join some friend in that
country. At any rate, a delegation of
Cherokees were sent to Mexico some years
later -to find and bring his remains back
to his native country, but they were totally
unsuccessful in their search ami the grave
of Se-qtioyah is nnknowu to this day.
se-quo-yaii ntcuxs.
The immediate circumstance which in
duced Se-quo-yah to undertake the great
task of inventing an alpbalwt appears to
be based. upon a conversation between
himself and a few companions upon the
subject of writing, or the "talking leaf,"
as they called it, at a certain town in the
old Cherokee nation, east of tho Missis
sippi, called Sauuta. Some young men
were remarking on the wonderful and su
perior .talents of the white men.
One of the company said that the white
tnau could put a talk on paper and end it
any distance, and it would bo perfectly
understood by those who would receive it.
All admitted that this was indeed wonder
ful, an art far beyond the reach of the red
man, and they were utterly at a loss to
conceive in what way it was done.
Se-quo-yah, after listening to the conver
sation awhile in silence, raised himself,
and putting on an air of great importance
observed: "You are all fools! Why, tho
thing is very easy; I can do it myself."
And taking up a Hat stone that lay near
him he commenced making words on it
with a sharp instrument of some kind.
After a few minutes he tuld them what ha
had written by making a mnrk for each
word. etc. This produced a laugh, and tho
conversation on the subject ended.
After the interview ut Saunta he went
home, obtained some paper and paint and
began in earnest to "paint the Cherokee
language on paper." From the cries of
wild beasts, from the talents of the mock
ing bird, from the voices of his children
and companions, he knew that feelings and
passions were conveyed from ono intelli
gent being to another. The thought then
occurred to him to try and ascertain all the
Bounds in the Cherokee language.
HOW HE INVENTED HIS AI.IMIAr.F.T.
When he thought he had distinguished
all the diirerent.souuds in his language lie
attempted to use pictorial signs images of
birds and beasts to convey these signs to
others, or to mark them in his own mind.
In this and several other methods he failed
in his attempts to perfect his great under
taking, but he was not in the least discour
aged. He at length hit upon the idea of
dividing the words into parts, or syllables,
and be had proceeded in this direction but
a short time when, to Ms great sat isfaction,
he had the written language of bis country.
After completing his alphabet he found
much difficulty in getting his people to
learn it. Nor could he succeed until he
came out to this country and taught a few
persons here, one of whom wrote a letter
back to one of Se-quoyah's friends in the
old nation, who rend it to his neighbors.
When the usefulness of the Cherokee al
phabet became fully acknowledged, it
spread throughout the nation in a manner
unprecedented. Heading and writing in
the Cherokee language soon becanio com
mon, for within a few months after its in
troduction there were Cherokees in vari
ous parts of the nation who could use tho
"talking leaf."
It is worthy of remark that its use was
at first confined to tho more obscure indi
viduals of the Cherokees, nor did the more
intelligent class consider it of any impor
tance until their senses gave evidence of
the existence and utility of this remark
able invention, and they saw Cherokees
read and write in their own language.
CIIKKOKEF. runUCATIONS.
The uumlwr of characters in Se-quo-yah's
alphabet is eighty-five. The arrangement,
like (hat of all other alphabets with which
I am acquainted, is entirely without sys
tem, and appear to have been placed in
tho order in which they presented them
selves to the inventor when he was put
ting the finishing strokes to his work, by
embodying his sign of sounds, after finish
ing the number sufficient for writing all
' the words of the Cherokee language. Tho
figures used were the Arabic, or the same
that we use.
In order to increase tho utility of Se-quo-yah's
great invention, the Cherokee
legislature appropriated a sum of money
to have type and a printing press con
structed. The Advocate, a uewspaper
printed in both the Cherokee and Knglish
language, was established, and is still in
operation. Aliout 800copic3of this paper
( aro circulated and read by hundreds of
full bloods who cannot read Knglish at all.
On the same press have been printed in the
Cherokee language the New Testament, a
hymn book and many tracts containing
portions of the Holy Scriptures.
These publications are read with inter
est, and in many places weekly meetings
are held to read Tho Advocate. I am con
vinced that there is no exaggeration in the
assertion that there is not a full blood
Cherokee Indian of fifteen years of age who
cannot read and write his own language.
That the mass of a people without schools
or books should by mutual assistance, and
without extraneous impulse or aid, acquire
the arts of reading and writing and that
in characters wholly original is, I believe,
a phenomenon unexampled in the world's
history. Indian Territory Cor. Fort Worth

A Charm Against Yellow Fever.
A Philadelphia physician owns a gold
headed cane containing a pomander box,
carried by one of his ancestors, who was
,nlso a physician in Philadelphia during
the yellow fovnr ephlumlca of 171)3-7-8.
When uncovered by tho lid ut tho top of
tho cane, tho box shows minute punctures
through which wero Inhaled the porfumo
of its contents, generally camphor, burnt
ambor and other Ingredients then suppos
ed to possess qualities preventive of conta
gion an Idea long sinco discarded as un
scientific, If not superstitious. Though
there Is no authentic data to establish the
fact, the cane is believed to ho at least 200
years old.
A New Clan In Industry and Politic.
For fifty years to come horticultural in
terests will probably increase, nnd among
horticulturists tho skilled fruit grower,
owning from ten to fifty acres of land, will
beat represent his class. Such a person Is
likely to be more of a business man than
the average farmer, and is in closer rela
tions to town and city Ufa Ho is compelled
to travel more, watches tho markets and
tho fields of invention closer, and repre
geiiLs, all in all, a finer typo.
A California fruit grower is in some re
rnccts akiu to the middle class of suburban
dwellers r.ear Doston and Xev York, with
tins very important difference, that ho
actually and constantly makes his living
from tho soil he owns. Tho ono tendency
of his life is toward what may bo tormcd
"extreme Califoruianism," for he is grow
ing nlmouds or oranges or something or
other that cannot be produced at a profit
in many other places on the continent, aud
the "glorious climate" is his best friend.
lint on the other hand he is in a skilled
business, full of tecbuicul details, requir
ing plenty of brain work, aud ho is selling
in the world's markets. Many a Califor
nia grower of raisins, oranges, walnuts,
olives, prunca or other horticultural prod
ucts goes to Chicago and Xew York every
autumn "to keep the run of the field."
The drift of 1'acitio coast life is toward
a rapid increase of the number of orchai d
i.sts. They are organized, too, in n manner
unknown among the funnel's, aud have
several times shown unsuspected courago
in independent politics.
Some of thesu days professional poli
ticians will have to deal with a new factor
tho horticulturist, a distinct evolution
from tho conservative American farmer
type, quicker of brain, less wedded to party
bonds, aud more capable of understand
ing the interests of tho commsuwealth.

Laughter is a positive sweetness of life,
but, like good-coffee, it should be well
cleared of deleterious Bubatnnce before use.
Ill will and malice and the desire to wound
are worse than chicory. iSetween a laugh
and a gigolo there is the width of tho
hori.ons. I could sit all day and listen to
the hearty tind heartsouic ba! hal of a lot
of bright and jolly people, but would
rather be shot by a Winchester rille at
short range than bo forced to stay within
ear shot of a couple of silly gossips. Cul
tivate that part of your nature that is
quick to see the mirthful side of tilings, so
shall you be enabled to shed mauy of life's
troubles, as the plumage of the bird sheds
rain. But discourage all tendencies to
seek' your amusement at the expense of
another's feelings or in aught that is im
pure. It was Goethe who said, "Tell mo
what a man laughs at and I will read you

Wild llenst Far Sighted.
A curious communication has beeu mado
to tho Academie de Medccino by M.
Motais, of Angers, whose works on the
various diseases of the eyo are highly es
teemed. He has closely examined the ef- i
feet of captivity on thesight of wild beasts,
such as lions, tigers, etc., aud asserts Hint
all animals in a savage state are far sighted.
The same remark applies to man iu an un
civilized state, and even to thoso who,
though civilized, follow avocations which
oblige theni to remain constantly in tho
oH'ti air, such as sailors or farm laborers.
The same faculty subsists in caged ani
mals when they have been taken after the
age of Dors months; but when born in
captivity, or kept in cages when very
young, they become near sighted, which
M. Motais attributes to the narrow spaco
in which they are confined, and the train
ing which obliges them to follow the eye
of tho keeper or tamer to obey his will.
The near sigbtedness of school children
may, in his opinion, bo ascribed to the
same cause the habit of concentrating the
sight on one point, and the fact that tho
power of tho visual organ becomes modi
fied according to t':e requirements to which
it is subjected. Murray's Magazine.
Hunting the Star;.
Tho prince of a small German state,
whose ambition it was to do the grand, if
only on a small scale, had invited a num
ber of gentlemen to go on a deer stalking
expedition. Everything promised well.
The weather was superb, and the whole
company were in the best of spirits, when
tho head forester approached tho petty
monarch and, lilting his green cap, said in
faltering tones:
"Your highness, there can be no hunting
today."
"Why not?" was the stern rejoinder.
"Alas, your highness, ono of tho stnfrs
took fright nt the sight of so many peoplo
nnd has escaped into the adjoiuing terri
tory, and the other stag has lioen ill sinco
yesterday. 15ut your highness must not
be angry it is most likely nothing worse
than a bad cold. We have given it H(u:a

wrote a book of travels and called it bis
personal narrative, Wd Wellesley was
quizzing it, nnd said to Lord I'lunket:
"Personal narrative what is a personal

No northern people aro hardier or more
spirited than the Finlanders, with their
clear complexions nnd dark blue eyes. In
spite of their harsh climate they have tho
most healthful living of perhaps any of the
northern races, and keep equal degrees of
romance, daring and good feeling in their
natures. You do not find Imagination,
forco and adventure in a race without
coarse, plenteous fare, pure air and clean
liness. The church sittings within tho space of

An Ingenious Ifnrber. . !
I know a barber down town whose lonaj '
liequaintanec with Americans has taught
him not to keep a clock. Strange, isn't itf
"And why such madnessf" I hear you say.
Ah! There's method In it. I'll tell you iu
his own words.
"You are about the hundredth man that
lias asked me about the clock," said lie
pleasantly. "Well, I'll tell you a trado
secret. You know my customers are all
business men, and stop iu two or tlireo
limes a week to get shaved. Whether in a
hurry or not, they want to get through
with all possible speed. That's ono of the
peculiarities of Americans. An American
may have all tho timo in tho world, but,
nevertheless, he'll rush his lunch ami his
(arbor all the same.
"So long as I had my clock here in tho
shop men would come rushing in hero, take
a glance at it, jump into tiic chair aud tell
nie to rush them through in teu minutes,
as they desired to catch a train or keep an
appointment. If I didn't get through with
them iu that timo there would lie a picnic
sure, and not only that but I'd run tho
risk of losing a goo.l customer. So after a
while I caught on to this clock racket, and
I took my reliable old timepiece from iu
necustomed corner and placed it beyond
reach. How does it worl!? Splendidly.
"Thefirstfcwdaysleoiild hardly restrain
myself from bursting into fits of laughter.
You know, tho first thing an American

tomed hiLste, glanced in the corner for tho
clock, and my I Well, you can imagine tho
rest.
"And now," said the barber, with a sat

long I take to shave them, because there's

Mimlu and the niiud.
Music will ever lie the blind man's ruling
passion; but that it may be a blessing to
liim and not a curse he must be taught
to know, to master and to love only tiiatof
the purest and best kind. What he does
he must bo able to do well, or the gift will
be fatal. He must learn not merely to
scrape a fiddle iu a more or less ex.L'perat
ing fashion, or blow into a cornet with
painful succiss, so as to gain admission
into the school band, but to do far more
and far better; or within a year of his leav
ing school away in t ho country village or
alone in the Loudon garret the cunning
of his hand will fail him and his music bo
worse than useless.
l'eople will say, "It is very clever for a
blind man," but there it ends, and such
words will not even provide bread and
cheese for a day. His descent into the
streets is not far o!V, and unless he has
learned to make a basket or a mat he will
soon become one of tlie forlorn minstrels
who, says Mayiiew, "behind a string and a
dog haunt the curbstone uud fillthuears
of the sorrowful with strains of still great
er sorrow." Tho higher sense of true music
isgono from him, and the want of this
sense is to melody what tie loss of fra
grance and color would be to flowers or of
color to tho sunset sky. And of all this
loss he is at hist unconscious. Edinburgh

"There goes the bravest man in the

do as bravo a deed as any that ever was
done," said Captain Mack, in Amadou's
bank, as ho looked out on the street at a
man going by.
"There were a good many brave deeds
done in the army. Who is your man, and
what did he do?"
"He is Tom Gilbert, and was a private in
my company. Two men wero packing am
munition iu a wagon at lialuu Uouge, and
somo powder exploded in the wagon nnd
killed one of them. The wagon contained
thirty-two twenty pound shells loaded with
powder. The shehs wero packed points
down, and the orillco iu the rear end of
each one was filled with oakum, which is
to be pulled out and replaced by a fuso
when put in the gun. The explosion of
powder set tiro to the oakum, nnd it was
burning toward tho powder when Fisher
saw the situation. Ho first drew the in
jured man away from the wagon, and
then, finding a pail oi water conveniently
near, picked the shells up and dipped tho
burning ends in the water. None of them
exploded, or he would not have been hero

Antiquity of Earrings.
Earrings have been worn from timo im
memorial. While excavating the ruins of
aneiont Thebes archeologists brought to
light sculptured remains bearing repre
sentations of these articles. Ancient writ
ers make frequent meut iouof these dec
orations, and state that in early days they
wero worn by both sexes. From the very
earliest times the male Asiat ics wore them.
Tho Iliblo tells us that Abraham presented
bus son's wife with a pair of earrings, and
historians relate that Alexander the Great,
when he invaded .India, found them sua
pended in the ears of the Babylonians.
Among the ancient oriental nf tions, with
the exception of the Hebrews, men nnd
women wore them, tho latter considering
that they sliould 1)0 reserved for the sole
use of the gen tier sex. Homer makes men
tion of this method of adornment in his
descriptions of slatueo representing several
of the mythological deities, and the great
Juvenal is authority for t he statement that
they wore worn hy all tho males residing
in the Euphrates provinces. Detroit Free

A curious example of how modern re
search in bacteriology was foreshadowed
long ago is furnished in a report of a re
cent lecture of Professor Pearson. Ho
quotedu Wench traveller visiting England
in 1003, who nttended a meeting of the
lioyal Academy on May 23 of that year.
At this meeting it was reported, among
other things, " that the germination of in
sects dues not arise from decay ; for the in
tesiinesof an animal and other parts which
easily corrupt, having been .placed in a
gloss, closed with cotton wool, so that no
fly or other animal could enter, but only
tho air could penetrate, they had been pre
served for six mouths without maggot or
other thing being observed." This is al
most exactly the experiment of Pasteur in
the present generation, except that in the
latter experiment not only were Insects
aud "other animals " excluded, but also
the microscopic vegetal germs, which were
utterly unknown to tho earlier experi
menter. Nature.
