"With the exception of the few Croa tans, who live in the southern part of the State, the Indians of North Caro? lina are Cherokees and arc something more than one thousand strong, the number of men and women being about equal. In the early years of this century a large number of this tribe drifted West and now form one of the five civilized tribes of the Indian Territory, and is known as the Western Band of the Cherokees. The emigration is still Westward, and in this way the Indians of North Carolina are gradually be? coming less numerous. My introduction to the Cherokee Indians was through a baseball team that had driven twenty-five miles to Waynesvillefrom across the mountains in a four-in-hand. These young bucks had come t?test their skill and strength or. the diamond with the white boys of Waynesville. There were features of this game that made it unique. For an Indian to do wonderful shooting with the bow or to make himself hid? eous in a war-dance, seems quite in keeping with his nature, but Indians on a baseball field is a novel sight. There was no need of uniforms nor colors to distinguish the one team from the other; it was the white man against the red man. The game put the two races on the same social plane. The Indians were entertained at the village hotel and ate in the dining room with the other boarders. An -Indian has thus expressed his side of the social question: "Indian first, white man next, then dog and Negro la-t." Yj? home of the East Band of the CI ./okeesis a group of four counties? Jackson, Swain, Graham and Cherokee ?in the extreme northwestern part of North Carolina. This section of the State is called the Qualla Boundary, a wild region of great elevation laying between the Blue Ridge and the Smoky Mountains. Here one finds unmeasured forests of choice timber, hickory, wal? nut, pine, holly, chestnut, sourwood, mulberry, spruce, hemlock poplar and oak. The fertile coves are watered by streams as swift and as clear as crys? tal. Bass and speckled trout furnish sport to those who have the skill and endurance to catch these splendid specimens of the finny tribe. A stout horse and a strong buggy carried my wife and myself from Waynesville through Soco Gap to Yel? low Hill, a distance of about twenty five miles. Every rod of the way was full, of interest, and for fifteen miles the steep, narrow and rocky road, frin? ged with ferns and rhododendrons, winds amid the wildest of all moun? tain Bcenery. For miles there is not a human habitation, and the stillness is-at times oppressive; not a sound ex? cept the splashing of the waters of Jonathan's Creek on the one Bide of the gap and of Soco Creek on the other side; not a bird nor a wild animal of any kind did we see along the entire route?all game, big and little, had been killed by the indefatigable Indian hunter. As wencared the government school the Indian cabins came in view, and one seen all are seen. The first cabin is the residence of au old Indian, Mr. Pheasant, situated several hundred yards from the road, a corn patch in front without the sign of a path lead? ing to it, built of hewn logs closely fitted, and with one room. The num? ber of long, wide and high foot-logs spanning the creek atracts attention. By careful count there are twenty eight within two miles. Here we came on a squad of -Indians lolling by the way-side, again we meet an Indian rid iDg bareback, who tries to give us as much space as. possible; at another point a young squaw with pappoose fastened to her back makes her way in the opposite direction, with quick step and eyes fixed on the ground. They will let the traveler go by without look or word. I have been told that they watch strangers very closely from some hiding place but when met on the highway they seem to be in a hur? ry to get out of sight. The men wear citizens' dress and the women delight in dresses of the most brilliant red. A group of squaws arrayed in red, filing along the road, with their babies and burdens strapped to their backs, is picturesque. The government makes every effort to keep out of the reservation settlers, both whites and Negroes, and the laws of the State forbid intermarriage, yet there are many half-breeds, and it was my observation that the cross between the white men and the red man makes a handsome man and a beautiful wo? rn aD, but they arc said to be of a more evil disposition than cither race. The Indian has no fondness for town life and hence the centres of popula? tion arc few and hardly worthy of the name of village. Wolf Town, Big Cave, Bird Town and Yellow Hill are the principal places, and it is at the latter that a government school has been established, first under the Friends but for the past three years the government has had entire control. It is a most beautiful situation; the Ocona-Lutta river, wide and clear, curves in full view of the build? ings, reflecting like a great mirror every object near its waters. At the base of the hill on which stand the principal buildings is a luxuriant lawn on which fine Jerseys browse. The months of July and August are vaca? tion, yet we find pupils who had not returned to their homes, and the Su? perintendent, Mr. Potter, the teacher of Agriculture, and Mrs. Shclton and the teachers connected with the school, were very kind and entertained us in every way possible. Between the Superintendent's office and the school room is a quaint band stand, which is used by a large and ex lent Indian band. The stand is a mul? berry tree which sends out from its trunk, eight or ten feet from the ground, nine large brandies in the form of the ribs of an open inverted umbrella. On these limbs the circu? lar floor is placed, with seats aqd rail? ing. There is nothing remarkable abqut the school room, except the fact that the desks are free from the marks of pencil and knife. No "immortal" names were carved on the lids. There were several excellent maps drawn on the boards; a very accurate one of North Carolina, drawn by Loskic Standingdcer; but the best of all was a map of the United States drawn by Abel Wolf. I was so well pleased with this map that I asked to see Abel. He was called into the school room and I was introduced to a stout, intelligent Indian boy fourteen years old. He had been in the school for three years; he speaks and writes Eng? lish well and is fluent in the use of Cherokee; he was fond of reading and writing and drawiug but did not like arithmetic, although he had gone as far as fractions. He wrote on the board in beautiful letters, "Not Fail? ure, but Low Aim, is Crime." The boys and girls arc received at this school when seven years old and are tought, fed and clothed, and I may add washed, by the government until they are ready for higher education, when they are sent to a Northern school like that at Carlisle. It is easier to teach them English than to cultivate in them a fondness for the food that other people enjoy. The Indian bean bread, a mixture of meal and beans, which their friends bring to them, is eaten with greater relish than the most palatable diet prepared by the best of cooks. They detest milk and vegetables. The girls are more vicious than the boys. When the pupils leave the school they often go back to their old ways. About four hundred of this nation are now being taught by Christian men and women. The government has made an appropriation for 135 pupils at the Yellow Hill school for the next year. The industrial side of education re? ceives much attention at this school; the girls are taught to sew and the boys the use of tools. A good garden and farm are connected with the school. The old Indians know little English but have a mother language of their own. The names of the Indians are amusing: Mrs. Owl, a very intelligent woman, sold us some very gracefully shaped pieces of pottery made by her own hands. The.chief of the nation, who is elected every four years and who rules with four councilmen, is named Stillwater Sounauka. Other characters arc Judas Beardcvil, Noah Deerskin, Isaac Bigmeat, Molly Walk ingstick. In a work recently sent out by the government several statements are made about the Cherokees that are not correct, and the report on the whole is too favorable. There Indians seldom go through the form of marriage, and they are not faithful as man and wife. They are seldom seen in criminal courts, yet they will get drunk sometimes and kill each other. They are not industrious and the women are still the burden bearers. They may be called a law abiding people, yet they are savages in many respects. In the midnight on some lonely mountain the bucks meet and, around a log fire, dressed only in knee pants, they dance and comb the blood from their arms while the squaws chant a monotonous dirge. J. A. Gamewell. Waynesville, N. C. Honor {he Dear Old .Holder i Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered the snowy flakes on her brow, but is she not sweet and beauti? ful now ? Tho lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance of holy love, which can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but, feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than any other upon earth. You can not walk into a midnight where she can not see you ; you can not enter a prison whose bars will keep her out; you can not mount a scaffold too high for her to reach, that she may kiss and bless you in evidence of her deathless love. When the world shall despise and forsake you, when it leaves you by the way? side to die unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble arms, and tell you of all your virtues until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by vices. Love her ten terly and cheer her declining years with holy devotion. A Tradition of Orange Blossoms. Like all familiar customs whose origin is lost iu antiquity, the wearing of orange blossoms at a wedding is accounted for in various ways. Among other stories is the following pretty legend from Spain: "An African prince presented a Spanish king with a magnificent orange tree, whose creamy, waxy blossoms aud wonderful fragrauce excited the admiration of the whole Court. Many begged in vain for a branch of the plant, but a foreign ambassador was tormented by the desire to introduce so groat a curi? osity to his native land. He used every possible means, fair or foul, to accomplish his purpose, but all his efforts coming to naught, he gave up I in despair. The fair daughter of the i Court gardener was loved by a young artisan, but lacked the dot which the family considered necessary in a bride. One day, chancing to break a spray of orange blossoms, the gardener thought? lessly gave it to his daughter. Seeing the coveted prize in the girl's hair, the wily ambassador promptly offered her a sum sufficient for the desired dowry, provided she gave him the branch and said nothing about it. Her marriage was soon celebrated, and on the way to the altar, iu grate? ful remembrance of all her happiness, she secretly broke off another bit of the lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the Court gardener lost his head in consequence of the daughter's treachery, the legend docs not state, but many lands now know the won? derful tree, and ever since that wed? ding day orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride." --am? - ? "But," objected her father, "you are financially worthless, while my daughter?" "The way to fix that," interrupted the suitor, "is to arrange a bimetallic conforenpc, and devise j some way to put mc on a financial J I parity as a circulating medium." I ROBUiSON'S ABILITY. He Was a Famous Pitcher. "One of the best men that I ever knew at adapting himself to circum? stances," observed Major Ilotclikiss, | to a Tribune writer, "was a youDg fellow that we'll call Kobinson. He was a Yale man and, I fancy, a bit of a black sheep. He came of a good New England family, and one brother went into the ministry, and another came to this city and prospered in the law, but these pursuits were to prosaic for him. After he left college he went to Cuba for a few months, and then came back and drifted to Chicago and became a reporter on the Chicago Times. This was in the old Storey days, when a Times reporter, in the event of a man refusing to give him news, was expected to take the man down and then hammer it out of him. "Bobinson made a mistake one day. He hammered the city editor and had to leave town. He promptly came out to Badger Bock, Montana. "Badger Bock, at that time, was one of the hardest towns in the West. Homicide was a pastime, like lawn tc-nnis or croquet in other parts of the country. Mining and gambling were the only two recognized industries, with the preference given to gambling as a gentlemanly occasion. Bobinson got immediate employment on a morn? ing paper called by its owner with a fine irony the Daily Dove. It was the worst sheet in town, which is say? ing a great deal. The excitiDg nature of a connection with it may be best realized when I say that the paper's strong point was abusive personals in a country where all personals are dan? gerous. "When Kobinson came to town he found the post of city editor vacant, and applied for the place. The owner notwithstanding his beligercncy, was a fair man to his employees. He slip? ped his arm into Bobinson's, and led him half a mile up the mountain to the little cemetery. Pointing to three white wooden headboards, he said: "Young man, there sleep your three predecessors." There's room for an? other between that end and the fence," answered Bobinson, andf he took the position of city editor. "But the worst thing about the out? look for the young man I have not yet mentioned. He could not shoot. He had tried to learn many times, but, in his own words, he 'couldn'thit a flock of barns.' When he explained this peculiarity to his employer, this indi? vidual was for having him immediate? ly throw up the position. " 'Why,' he explained, 'they'll get you inside of a week. Quick and ac? curate shooting is the only chance for a man on this paper. I'd rather have a man that can't write than one who can't shoot.' " 'Just let me alone,' answered Bobinson. 'If you are not satisfied at the end of a month I'll resign.' ? " 'Give me the address of the friend you want notified, please,' said the maD, whipping out a pencil; but Bob? inson only laughed, picked up the shears, cut the lapels off the side pock? ets of his coat, walked out and wander? ed away up the gulch. "Now, something the owner of the Daily Dove didn't know was that Bobinson had pitched for three years the college baseball club. He had been the beQt pitcher the club ever had. He couM throw a ball harder and straighter (or crookeder, as the circumstances might require), than almost any man who up to that time had stood in the centre of the dia? mond. He had made up his mind to utilize his talent in this direction. Up the gulch he began selecting stones about the size of hen's eggs, hard and jagged. I think he picked out galena specimens largely, as being the heav? iest, and frequently rough and square cornered. He dropped half a dozen nuggets in each side pocket, and took off his hat and filled that, and return? ed. At the office he emptied the hat on his desk and went to work. "The second day after this his em? ployer said to him : 'Bobinson, there's a man come to town named Wash Gazely. He is a criminal and a dead beat who has killed five or six men. He is now drunk and going about town destroying the property of some of our best advertisers. Just touch him up to-morrow morning.' Bobin? son wroto a ripping item, in which he called the man 'a coward,' 'tramp,' 'chicken-thief,' and so forth, and warned him to get out of town under pain of 'further disclosures in the fearless columns of the Dove.' It was a hot paragraph, and when the fore? man read it, he simply remaiked: "Well, I hope the man that takes the city editorship to-morrow will write a plainer hand.' "About ten o'clock the next morn? ing Bobinson was walking quietly along the main street of the town with his righfcriiand resting carelessly in his coat pocket. Suddenly Mr. Gaze ley stepped out of the door of a sa? loon, lie reached for his revolver. The young man from Yale who could not shoot took his hand out of his pocket. In it was :n.irregular speci? men of lead ore. 1 remember how the local doctors tried to explain subse? quently that the specimen did't hit Gazely in a 'necessarily vital spot ;' but it was vital enough fur all practi? cal purposes, and the next morning the Dorr casually remarked that when 'the cut-throats of this town meet around the hearth to-night there will be one vacant chair. Jim Gazeley is no more.' "Tlic fate of Gazcley ought to have been enough for the other obnoxious citizens of the neighborhood, but of course it wasn't. A week later a man came down from Placer Bench, wiuged the chief of police, shot out the lights in the post office, and rode his horse on the sidewalk. The Dove repriman? ded him. He took a foolish and er? ring shot at the city editor, who re? plied with a stone, and returned to his office and wrote that 'another old set? tler has gone out from our midst. Life is indeed uncertain. Xow is the time to subscribe.' ! ?,Robinson stayed a year before tg | got tired of the place, and went to San Francisco, hut I don't think that after the first throe months he had any trouble. During that time I would not dare to say how many he popped over. Of course, most of them he only wounded. But as he remarked in his valedictory, far more than wc intend? ed have gone with less preparation than wc could have wished. It should only serve to remind ua that 'in the midst of life a rock may catch us in the jaw.' ''I never knew what became of him, but I fancy he has continued to take care of himself." Tho Jumbo Wind Engine No\* Popular in Kansas. A. Curious Contrivance for Pumping Water to Molnton Arid Plains ? I to Simplicity and Economy Is Its Ko commendation. A crude invention called the ' 'Jum? bo" wind engine is now coming into extensive use in western Kansas. Its ease of construction, economy in cost, capacity, in power and simplic? ity, seem to recommend it to thoso who observe its work. It resembles, says the Louisiana Planter, the paddlewhecl of a stern wheel boat, with a shaft twelve or fourteen feet long, is twelve or six? teen feet across, with six or eight arms. The lower half of this wheel is shielded from the wind, so that the air acts only upon the upper vanes. A crank upon one end of the shaft connects with a pump. Its power can be indefinitely in? creased at any time by increasing Its length, which can be done by any? one who is handy with tools. It is said that a "Jumbo" giving one hun? dred horse power in a fifteen-mile wind can be put up at a cos I of five hundred dollars. The wind acts upon this sort of paddlewhecl from all points of the compass except two. It seems to require no "gover? nor," but simply pumps more dur? ing a storm. No tower is required, and it is placed so that the radical arms will be clear of the ground. In fact, in Kansas, where there arc few trees and no hills, it is claimed that the wind currents have greater force at the surface than hifjh in air. One of these wind wheels, now running in Kansas, is twenty-one feet in diameter, twenty-seven feet long, with eight fans. The largest water wheel in the world is an over? shot wheel in the Isle of Man, and is seventy-two feet six inches in di? ameter, six feet in breadth, with a crank stroke of ten feet. It gives two hundred horse power. There may be many wind-power Ferris wheels in the states of the plains, bringing fertility where is aridity. Perhaps in this crude device for raising water for irrigation in a wind-swept country there is the germ of au idea which, when fully developed and perfected, may be? come widely useful. If so, it will be quickly improved, for it is watched by many eager and anxious eyes, and now the development of an im? plement requires days where for? merly centuries were needed. The crude "Jumbo" of to-day may be? come the perfected irrigating ma? chine of to-morrow in level and tree? less sections of country. THE BLOOMER GIRL What She Lacks as Beside the Old Fashioned Woman. Score one for the old-fashioned woman. She has a sphere of useful? ness from which the new woman is barred. She cannot ride a bicycle so well, possibly, but that is not a particularly useful accomplishment, no matter how much enjoymen t there may be in it. And to offset that the old-fashioned woman has given an Illustration of something she can do that Is nearly as far beyond the new woman as it is beyond man. A boy in New York fell through the opening in a fire-escape landing at the fifth floor; an old-fashioned woman was sitting on the steps be? low. The child caromed on the cop? ing over the doorway and landed in tho woman's lap. That saved his life, and beyond a bruise as the re? sult of striking The coping he was unharmed. Of course, the question immedi? ately arises: Of what use would a man have been under such circum? stances? Clearly none. He has no lap. And of what use would a new woman iu bloomers have been? Just as little, and for the same rea? son.?Chicago Evening Post. Not a Silverlte. A youug lady with a touch of ton silitis was consulting the family physiciau. "That is nothing serious," said he. "I'll touch it up with a little nitrate of silver and you will be all right." The young lady looked a bit doubt? ful. "Oh, it won't hurt," remarked the doctor, reassuringly. "I wasn't thinking of that. Papa might object." "Why, what possible objection can ho have?" "I heard him teil mamma the other evening that he was opposed to silver. Couldn't you use nitrate of gold?

The forthcoming report of the com mis siouer of internal rovenuo will show an enormous increase in illicit distillation. "When the tax on distilled spirits was in? creased 20 cents a gallon a new incentive to fraud was added to that which the in? ternal revenue authorities had already boon compelled to constantly light. The temptation to cheat the Government was very great whon the premium offered was ?100 per cent, and was sufficient to over? come the scruples of several hundred people in the mountain regions of Ton? nosse?1, Kentucky and the Carolinas, but wbfiu another 100 per cent was added it seems to have turned the scald with the city people. "Every man has his price," it is said, and, while -100 per cent seems to have been a satisfactory figure with the mountaineers of the South, tho city people did not yield to temptation until f)()0 percent was bid. Then thoy fell, and the "sleuths" of the inspector's di* iMon have been compelled to give their atten? tion to the great cities, and especially to New York nnd Brooklyn, over since. Somo of those trainod men walking about tho streets and outski rts of New York or Brooklyn, with koon olfactory nerves ujiislantly on tho alert, often ' scent" nn illicit still, and, wetting the linger and holding it up to dotermiuo the diroction from which tho wind comes, trace and finally locate the very spot whence it emanates. Sometimes this is in the basement of a big tenement house; sometimes in a factory of uotne sort; sometimos connected with a dairy, and more frequently beneath or in easy roach of a sugai refinery. Tho report to be turned in shortly after the 1st of July will show an increase ol probably (>0 per cent of arrests for illicit distilling. And, instead of only the names of a few Southern States figuring in the list, thoso of the great States or New York and Illinois and others at the North will appear in it. The seizures of illicit stills now run from one hundred to two hun? dred per month, and for tho year about to end will aggregate nearly two thou? sand. The average Northern moonshiner shows more cunning in his methods than do thoso of the South. This is doubtless because of his more varied training, for the Southern moonshiners are as a rule countrymen who have been in that line of business perhaps half their lives. On the other hand, the average illicit distil? ler at the North is a city-bred man, be? longing to the class whos9 ways are shady generally, and with his superior training and association is able to devise some very shrewd ways of concealing his operations. Oneof the devices whicb was very successful, too, was to run an illicit alcohol still in connection with a dairy. The Brooklyn man who invented this plan had quite a successful experience, lie made nis alcohol, put it into milk cans, slipped his cans into his milk wagons with those containing milk, and was thus able to run them out and fur? nish them to a regular line of customers some time before he was discovered. Others operate in basements of buildings close down among the wharves along the river. The incoming vessels which bring sugar always have more or less broken packages and leakage, which make it necessary to wash out the accumulated "swsetness," and although it is usually a filthy mess it furnishes material for the illicit stills. They buy these washings for a trifle and are also able to buy molasses for a very low rate. The result is that their alcohol costs them probably not more than eighteen of twenty cents per gallon.
