Three half-Jbreed Cherokee Indians, man and wife and little girl, walked into Kansas City last week the woman, "barefooted, dragging a small huckster's cart, on which was piled a curious as sortment of household effects. The man said he was Bill Smith and that they were making their way to the Indian Territory to take up their abode in the Cherokee Nation. They had walked nil the way from Aribyvllle, Va.. through West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri,, a distance of 1.100 milos, and were going to ent?r the nation by way of Coffeyvine, Kan., a distance of 26v miles more.

PERSONS AND THINGS. A man named Durand has won a bet tt Marseille toy standing on a pedestal In a public place for four consecutive weeks. He was utterly exhausted after the performance and may not recover, Major Henry Stanton, "the Sweet Poet of the Elkhorn," In Kentucky, had the singular distinction for a poet ot being a practical Inventor. He devised the iron tie for binding cottin bales, and tt was a success. ' When 8. R. Crockett was a poor young college student he became the private tutor to a rich American youth and traveled with his charge all over Eng- .and and as far away as Siberia and Nova Zenvbla, He made copious notes of the trip and expects to use them In a forthcoming book. Ike Wllils, of Fayette county, Ohio, has a horse he won't sell. The other day his baby crawled Into the pig pas ture. Just as the pigs were about to make a meal of him the horse ran up, kicked the pigs to second base and made a home run with the baby by gripping its rroc-K in his teeth. The administration of the late Mr. Parnell's estate, will, It Is said, yield about 10 shillings In the pound. - His home and small estate In Ireland were mortgaged to an Irish banker before his death for 10,000, and his quarries he sold to his brother. There are certtln securities In America, which, It Is hoped, will yield more than at first expected.

WHALES' LEAPS. Gigantic Jumps Token by These Monsters oi tne xeep. Philadelphia Times. ' ' "Speaking of Jumping," said an old sea man who had been watching some boys playing leap-frog on the sands, "let me tell you of the greatest. Jump I ever seen. It was many years ago when I was llttlo more than a lad, but 1 was bow oars man on a whale boat belonging to the ship Henry Staples. We had had bad luck for several weeks, when one day we sighted a big whale and two boats set off In a race to see who would get there first It was fulrly smooth, what sailors call a white cap breeze, and our boats fairly flew over tho water. Finally the whale rose not one hundred yards away. headed directly for us. The mate gave orders to stop, and we sat still, expecting that the monster would rise near us. The harpooner stood with his Iron all ready to throw, while we grasped . our oars nervously prepared to jump at the word 'stern all' that nearly always came when a whale was harpooned. Not a word was spoken and suddenly a moun tain of black appeared; It seemed to shut oft the entire horizon. Up It went until I distinctly saw a seventy-foot whale over twenty feot in the air hover ing over us. The mate was the first to regain his senses and gave the command 'stern all' Just as we were ready to springover board, the boat shot back severaf feot, and the next second, the glgantls animal dived Into tho ocean, Just grazing us, having completely passed over tho boatjit the biggest leap I ever heard of."- . Such gigantic jumps are rare. A simi lar one was recorded by Dr. Hall, who at the time was & midshipman on the ship Leander. They were lying li the harbor of Bermu33, when all hands were attracted by the appearance of. a very large whale tint suddenly appeared m the harbor , and scorned very much alarmed by the shallow water, flounder ing about violently. The young mid shipman Joined a boat's crew that start ed in pursuit and Just as they were about to strike, the whale disappeared, sinking out of sight, leaving a deep whril pool, around which the boat shot. Be fore It stopped, up came the whale, hav ing,. -tn all probability, struck the bot tom, and went Into the air like a rocket. "So complete was this enormous leap," says Dr. Hall, "thut for an Instant we saw him fairly up in the air; in a hori zontal position, at a distunce of at least twenty perpendicular feet over our heads. While in his progress upwards there was in his spring some touch of tno vivacity with which a trout or salmon Bhoots out of the water, but he fell back again In the sea like a huge log, thrown on Its broadside, and with such a floundorlng crash, as made all hands stare with as tonishment, and the boldest held his breath for a time. Had the whale have taken his leap one minute sooner he would have fallen plump on the boat." Comparatively few people hive seen a large whale, but we can Imagine wha,t an object an animal seventy feet long and weighing as many tons would make flying through the air. Within a week of the writing of the present article I was drifting along tho shores of Santa Catallna Island, Southern California, when a Blxty-foot whale al most cleared the water about a thous and yards from the boat. I was about to ask tho boatman what rock it was when the great head doscended and tho tail rose Into the air as the monster dived. Mr. Scorsby, the famous whaler, chron- 1 Icles a number of Incidents of Jumping among the whales, some lenvlng tho water completely and rising, twenty or more feet into the air. ' Many of the Inhabitants of tho sea are good Jumpers and some have be come famous. Among them should be mentioned the tarpon or silver king, a huge fish with scales that gleam liko silver, which constitutes tho famous game fish of Florida. The leaps of this beautiful creature are often astonishing. Several years ago a steamer wai rushing down tho St. John i-Wor. The captain was sitting on the fors deck leaning against the pilot house, when suddenly there rose in the air a beautiful shining fish four feet in length. It came on like an arrow and landed In the lap of tho cap tain as neatly as though it had bee-n placed there. In Pacific waters the tun or ally ot the horse mackeral, Is noted for its leaps. Sometimes a school pwep up the coast and the powerful fish, often welghlnr eight hurdred pounds are seen In the air In every direction. They are like an ar row, turn gracefully five or six times in the air and come down, keeping the water for acres In a foam, and If not tho greatest Jumpers they ere certainly the most graceful of the leapers of tho sea. wnrv team heurun Mon.lav morniiur t j rebuild the mill of Jones & Artima on tho Nostucca, burned a few weeks ngo.
