A RICH INCIAN TRIBE.
One Condition In IVh'ch It Taj-i to Ilav.
a Lr I amlly.
Located near Arkansas City, Art;.,
arc tlic Osaes, probably the richest
tribe of Indians in the world. They
number about three hundred men,
women and children, each of whom re
ceives from the government between
three hundred and four hundred dol
lars. annuity in interest on the pur
chase price of lunds sold many years
aj,'0. In addition to this they derive a
good income from the rent of land on
the reservation now occupied by them,
most of it being used by cattlemen for
grazing- purposes. They are negotiat
ing for the sale of the reservation, or
that part of it which they do not wish
to retain to be divided in severalty.
Many of the Osages, says the Wash
ington Star, are highly educated, and
so re of them enjoy all the luxuries of
modern civilization. There are sev
eral magnificent residences on the lit
tle reservation. Probably the most
imposing of these is that of Frank
Denoya, just completed. It is splen
didly finished and furnished through
out. It is provided with hot and cold
water baths, and all other appoint
ments that are to be found in the bet
ter class of city homes. Servants are
employed to do all of the housework,
and an accomplished teacher is kept to
instruct the female members of the
family in music and other accomplish
ments of polite society. As fast as the
children complete the primary courso
of education they are sent to the best
schools in the country to receive in
struction in the higher branches.
While Mr. Denoya U still a compara
tively young man, he has a family of
twelve children, each of whom receives
over thirty dollars a month from the
general government. In addition to
this they receive rental for twelve
hundred acres of grass land. He has
inclosed and under cultivation one
hundred and sixty acres of fine val
ley land for each member of his family,
which earns a yearly rental of three
dollars per acre. His income from all
sources amount to mora than twelve
thousand dollars per annum. He has
not a dollar of tax to pay, and his chil
dren are educated without cost to him.
While there is every inducement for
the Osages to raise large families, the
tribe is steadily decreasing in num
bers, and it will be, it is taid, but a
short time after they take their allot
ment in severalty and break up tribal
relations before the race will be ex
tinct. They do not work, and those
who have not improved their oppor
tunity to adopt the mode of living of
their well-to-do white brothers are
vagabonds. T'" -a-lc of the Osarres in
much sought after by merchants of
towns in the surrounding country,
liefore tho opening of the CheroUce
strip it all came to Arkansas City,
which was the nearest trading point,
but now no less than three towns have
been started whose only excuse for
their existence is their nearness to the
Osage reservation.
YVettern atenniboats.
The oldest steamboat company in the
world, organized in 1818, is still in
existence, and runs boats between Cin
cinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, under
the title of tho United States Mail Line.
This concern built the first steamboat
designed exclusively for passengers.
She was named the (Jen. Pike. It
took her thirty-one hours to make her
trips between Louisville and Cincin
nati, a trip that is made at the present
time in nine hours. In 1833 there were
public rejoicings at Louisville. Ky.,
when a steamboat arrived there In fif
teen days and six hours from New Or
leans. The captain, answering a com
plimentary toa:.t, gravely stated that
the upward passage might p.ssibly be
accomplished in fifteen days, or six
hours less than the time he had just
made. Within twenty years the pas
sage was performed in a few hours
over four daysi and at the present time
the distance, fourteen hundred and
eighty miles, can be made by the fast
packets in a little over three days.
CRCELEY IN
COOD SOCIETY.
He Once ClneU In Jail with i
Prince, a
Count ai-d a llaron.
When Horace Greeley visited Paris in
1835 he was the victim of a mistake that
mused him to spend a night behind the
bars of the debtors' prison of the Hue
do Clijhy. A French sculptor had sent
a statue for exhibition to the world s
fair at New York, of whi.h Mr. Greeley
was ono of the managers; the statue
had been returned in an injured condi
tion, and the sculptor took the meth .1
of causing Mr. Greeley's arrest to re
cover damages. A friend of Mr. Gree
ley, Mr. Field, went to the prison the
next morning. When he entered the
large common room in which the pris
oners and their friends were assembled,
the Youth's Companion says, ho saw a
singular scene. In one corner squatted
a laboring man in his blouse, surround
ed by his wife and children, who had
brought him some deliaacies for his
Suuday dinner. In another corner
lounged a fashionably-dressed young
gentleman. The room was filled with
the most strangely contrasted groupes.
"Standing in the middle of it," says
Mr. Field, "wearing his old white over
coat, and with his hat on tho back of
his head, his countenance wreathed in
smiles, flanked on either side by a
United States minister, stood Horace
Greeley. To refrain inin la ughing was
impossible.
" 'Field,' he exclaimed, 'this has been
one of the most fortunate incidents in
my life! Without it I doubt if I ever
should have had the opportu nity to see
pood society. You know I know noth
ing about it at home. I have never as
sociated with the people who compose
it there. I dare say they are very good
people, but they arc not my people.
Last evening at dinner we hod a prince
at tho head cf the table, and I was
flanked on one side by a count and on
the other side by a baron. If I only re
main here long enough I shall not only
learn the French language, but good
manners inti the bargain.' "
Of coarse when the case came up fo
txutl Mr. Greeley was released.

kce Indiana.
Some time ago a prominent geolo
gist, on being approached on the sub
ject, spoke of the possibilities of the
production of (leorgia gold very high
ly. "The gold in Georgia," said he, "is
in a perfectly accessible region, which
makes it twice as valuable as gold
that might be taken out of California
or the lilack Hills. A mine of enor
mous richness is of little value if it
is in an impenetrable region. The gold
country of Georgia is in a perfect net
work of railways, and the metal can be
found very near the surface, thus mak
ing it easily reached by the miner.
Tho water courses that pour down the
I hills give the best possible power.
spired to put tho enormous amount of
gold in the hills of Georgia iuto the
miner's hands."
It has been estimated that the gold
belt of Georgia is about one hundred
miles in breadth. The richest sections
in this belt have been found to be in
the counties of Cherokee, Lumpkin,
White and Dawson.
A prominent Atlanta capitalist re
cently told a writer for the Atlanta
1 the richness of the Cherokee gold.
The present location of the Cherokee
mills was one of tho camps of the Span
ish Invadt rs. who. under the leader
ship of Da Soto, Invaded Georgia on
their way to the Mississippi, and after
ward on their return to Spain related
wonderful stories about the immense
richness of tho oro to be found on the
new continent Tiie historic Etowah
river runs through this country, and
the old chief used to talk a great deal
about the superiority of the ore to be
founil on the banks of the little creek
that emptied into the Etowah. The
little creek was of such importance
that it had several different names,
none of which were at all suitable.
They called it the 'Rio Creek,' 'Illanlcet
Creak,' and the natives would fre-0.,,.ntl.-
i,lnn '., t,.-o nnd unite on
'Rio Illanlcet.' These names were all
derived from a Spanish source, and
the proper appellation was doubtless
'Iiio Blanquetta.' The Spaniards
struck a trail along the Etowah, and,
keeping the much-named stream in
sight, proceeded through the very
heart of the gold country and passed
over the sites of the famous Frank
lin, Pasco and Strickland mines.
There was an old mine near these
famous ones which was formerly
worUed to one hundred feet below the
water level and in itt time yielded two
hundred dollars per ton. This mine
was situated on the little liiapket
Creek." ,
A well-known mining specialist, in
talking of late discoverio-i recently, I
said: "It seems to be decidedlv in the
range of probabilities that tons of the
precious oro can be taken out of the
existing mines or newly opened veins,
if tho pr.jper machinery is ued and
the shafts are sunk deep enough. It is
a question of international importance
where we may replenish the fast-de-croasing
supply of the precious metal
when tho mines now being worked
fail. I do not think that government
al aid would be misplaced in opening
up these valuable lands, but whether
or not any action is taken by our gov
ernment, the wonderful resources of
the (ieorgia hills cannot long remain
undeveloped."

AMERICAN SHIPS CROWDED OUT.
Fruit Carried from Cuba t. New Turk by j
European Vessel Entirely. j
A large fleet of small steamers, prin
cipally of Lnglish build, and sailing
under the Norwegian flag, have worked
a revolution in the Cuban fruit trade
at New York, fays the Tr.buno. Only
a few years ogo American schooners,
small, graceful crait. went down to
Iluracoa, Gibara and other ports, loud- :
ed with anytuing which would pay 1
freight rate; and usually in about a 1
month or five weeks they would come
backs with holds full of baroras cr
oranges or pineapples. With the do-'
lays incident to all i ailing craft, it was
no uncommon circumitance fcr them
to land their pe.rishablc cargoes in a
more or less damaged condition, and
"wind and weather perm tling" was a
qualification to an agreement respect
ing delivery. While the passing of tho ,
schooner may be regretted, it is fact
that the service is ,lv imprnved,
and the busines ri-s U fnivl cnor-
mously; and this slate nf uffairs would
be an unmixed blessing were it not
mat toreign apital ana labor have
reaped a largo part of the reward. Tho
littlo steamers are rhn at small ex
pense, the ship's company ma'.:ing
wages on which Amen an scumeu
could not support their families. They
will make a round trip in fliteen or
eighteen days, and deliver their car
goes in good order. Tho fruit can bo
picked much riper than before, u : it is
reasonably sure that it will bo deliv
ered in Now York in a week; and as it
is landed direct into the curs on floats
alongside the steamer, it is for sale in
Inland cities in less than half tho time
formerly required to reach port.
The quickness with which one of
these steamers will pet out of port
after arriving here is a constant sur
prise. It is not an uncommon occur
rence when the "rush" season la on for
one to come sneaking up New Yore
bay with the first sign of daylight and
warp in at her pier. Off come the
hatches and the top layer of hay Is
pitched out; this has prevented tho
fruit from being bruised by the pitch
ing and rolling of the steamer. Tho
''handlers" begin their work of lifting
out the fruit. Meanwhile, the captain
has had his breakfast. He goes ai bore,
the vessel's muni left is entered und
she is "cleared" for her return. Con
signees come to the pier for their share
of the cargo, end while bcrnrus are
going out on one side coal is coming
in on the other, and by tho timo the
hold is empty the bunkers are full. A
stray scorpion or tarantula may linger
around, but no attention in paid to it.
The water tanks are lllled, the i nmo
crew signs over again and by three
o'clock in the afternoon tho shurp
steel nose of tho alien craft is cutting
through the waters of the bay, bound
for Cuba and more bananas. Italian
venders, British shipbuilders and Nor
wegian owners and Spani: h growers
make good livings, and, In many canes,
snug fortunes; and the ambitious
Yankee, neglecting tho day of little,
things, lets them do so, and is appar
ently content with tho cheap fruit,

"The prairie dog," said a traveler,
"is apparently a very harmless little
animal, but. although its bite is not
poisonous, it can wreck more goods
and chattels with it i little teeth than
an animal twice its size. Three or four
years ago, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrut. just after the opening of the
first portion of Oklahoma, the country
was infested by tens of thousands (if
prairie dogs, and one source of revenue
among the settlers was catching the
little animals and selling them to
visitors, whoselitom bothered with them
more than three or four hours' ride and
then let them go in disgust. The prui
rie dog can eat its wuy out of almost
any box that is made, and it has n
fondness for leather, which seems to
show its appreciation for a popular
proverb. 1 remember one night in the
early history of the territory ordering
a carriage from the livery 'stable to
drive me to Kingfisher. The con
veyance came round very early in the
morning all right, but I noticed that
when the driver got out to attend to
some defect in the harness ho wore
but one boot, and although U,m w,.
large and long enoujrh to make up for
the d
eieney, 1 was curious to know
why he favored one foot and leg at the
expense of the other. His explana
tion was ludicrous, if profane. The
night before he hud caught four prairie
dogs to fill an order from a tourist, and
bad placed them in a small box in bis
solitary room. As usual, they hud
gnawed their way out of tiie box dur
ing the night and had so mutilated one
of his boots that it was linposbiblo to
wear it."

Our expected guesti, the seventeen
year locusts, who will be with us this
summer, says the New York Sun, un
less the entomologist And some potent
means of discouraging their proposed
arrival, will receive a warmer welcome
from beast and bird than from tho
human kind. In their train will come
swurms of feathered hunters who will
find in them a dainty edible, and make
their lives ono weary succession . of
aerial I . istings and turning). King
birds, bluejays, woodpeckers, fly catch
ers and even the larger thrushes and
the smaller hawks, forsaking all else,
will cleave unto tho unfortunate har
vest fly and grow fat upon his remains.
If ho crows weary in attempting to
out-itrip his f gathered onomios in flight,
and seeks refuge beneath a sheltering
branch, he fulls a prey to tho vigilant
nquirrel or chipmunk, who finds him a
toolhiome morsel. Under any tree In
tho still, sunny days of the summer
months you may find littlo heaps of
yellow ribbed gauzo wings, testifying
i irageuy or mo clcades who es-
cupod tho attacks of feathered foes
only to fall victims to their furred
enemy of the rodent species.
All men, too, will hunt the unfortu
nate locust, not as food, for he Is not
the edible locust of Scripture, which,
garnished with wild honey, formed the
i tuplo diet of tho ancient wanderer,
but out of a dosiro to destroy him lest
ho destroy their fruit trees and vines.
He is himself a predatory individual,
and docs great damage to vegetation,
wherefore the farmers hold him in
abomination. Hut ono man will there
bo who will rejoice in the advent of"
tho seventeen-yeur harvest fly, and
that is tho llsherman. When ail other
baits fail the larva of tho seventeen
year locust will tempt the wariest fish
to the hook. It is not the full-fledged
insect, however, that avails here, but
the larvr- at tho roots of trees, getting
ready to . lerge from his sixteen years
of underground existence and burst
into the glory of gauzy wings and a
more or less musical whir.
These lai vui are white and unpleas
antly moist; also, they look as if they
might hilo or sting or otherwise per
forin in a harmful manner, but they
can't. You may, by digging down at
the root of a young tree, turn up a
mini her of them at every spado thrust
Put them into a box, cover them over
with dirt; then go to the nearest
stream, bait your hook with one of
them and throw in your line. If you
don't eateh something, it is because
the fish are all dead or else you weren't
born to be an angler. Trout, black
bass, rock bass, perch, pickerel and
oven bullheads will turn aside in dis
dain from fly, minnow, worm or craw
fish anil eagerly grab at the larva of
thelneust. There is use for everything,
und if our periodical clcade guests give
us better fishing, then surely their vis
its cannot be regurded as an unmiti
gated evil.

Ahner Jennings was never known to
say a harsh thing to or about anyone,
says the Yout i's Companion. His form
of speech was invariably mild, and ex
aggerated statements were viewed by
him as almost as re. rehensible as lies.
Once, in the spring of the year, when
the lllueville roads were hi a fearful
condition of mud and mire, the team
of a "traveling merchant" was stalled
a short distance from Mr. Jennings'
house. Tho old man at once brought
out his oxen and went to the peddler's
assistance.
The team could not bo Instantly re
leased even with the aid of a yoke of
oxen, and the peddler, who was a man
of high temper and little self-control,
proceeded to vent his rage in language
which Unit amazed and then disgusted
the equable .Mr. Jennings. lie bore It
an long as ho thought was necessary
and proper, and then unhitched his
oxen and went calmly homo.
"I went to trj and help him," he ex
plained to his wife, as he walked into
the kitchen on his return, "but he
till ed so poorly that I camo off and
left him."
One day ho caught somo boys rob
bing his black cherry trees, and sur
veyed them for somo moments in
speechless disapprobation.
"Hoys," ho said at last, o-lvlno- tti
cu,Pr'ts the sternest glance of which
he was c-ipable, "boys, I think you've
iieen uoin very poorly:
After administering that stirring re
buke he turned on his heels and walked
slowly away to the barn, and never re
ferred to the matter BTnin.
