In the western part of North Carolina is a perfectly organized republic, independ- ent of both state and national govern- ments. It is known as the Qualla Reserve and is the home of about 1,000 of the Cher- okee Indians belonging to the eastern branch. The reserve has an area of 50,000 acres, or eighty-two square miles, of the richest land of the state, lying along the Ocona, Lufta and Soco creeks. The president of the little republic is elected every four years. He receives a salary of $500 a year, but when at Wash- ington on business for the republic he gets $4 a day extra. He is called chief, but none but a Cherokee of more than thirty-five years is eligible to the chieftain- ship. When he is absent his duties are performed by an assistant chief, whose salary is $250 a year. The chief has a cab- inet of three secretaries, and the congress comprises two delegates from every 190 members of the tribe. All Cherokee males of sixteen an4 all white males who have Indian wives have the right to vote. The constitution pro- vides for the maintenance of a public school in which both English and Chero- kees ure taught. The inhabitants of the reserve are intelligent, fairly well edu- cated, law-abiding and industrious. Cuban Postage Stamps. From the Chicago Tribune. Damaso E. Valdes received from the Cuban Junta in New York a consignment of Cuban postage stamps, to be sold to Chicago sympathizers. The money proccred by the sale of stamps will be used to aid in the struggle for freedom. Mr. Valdes says a system of mail couriers has been established in the parts of Cuba controlled by the insurgents, and that the stamps are in actual use there. If a Cuban wishes to send a letter to the United States, the new stamps will carry the letter to a port of the United States, where agents affix the stamps of this coun- try and send the letter on to its destina- tion, FOR SUMMER OUTING.

Some Thrilling Incidents of Bravery in the Face of Death. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. The story of the gallantry of Color Bearer John Keggins of the 149th New York in- fantry {s one which cannot fall to thrill any man with blood in his veins. It was at Lookout mountain. As Geary’s line swept aroynd the point the Union artillery in the valley below was firing upon the enemy, which occupied the mountain side. Not recognizing Geary’s men, they continued shelling, greatly endangering the lives of their own troops. With that sublime courage that sometimes marks men in great emer- gencies, the brave Keggins jumped upon a stump, where he was fully exposed to the view of both armies, and waved his colors frantically to attract the attention of the Union battery. The rebels, surmising his object, and realizing the advantage to them in having the Union battery continue tn its mistake, directed a deadly fire upon the herole fellow. Two bullets passed through his clothes, grazing the skin, and another ploughed through his hair and scalp, but he accomplished his object. During the hottest part of the fight at Chickamauga an order came to company F of the 101st Ohio volunteers to send a cor- poral to the colors quickly, as the color guard had nearly all been killed or wounded, and the colors of the regiment were in im- minent perl. ‘There was no corporal left in the company, and Capt. Kilmer asked if there was a private who would volunteer. It seemed like volunteering to go to an al- most certain death. There was a moment's silence, and then Private George S. Meyer stepped forward. “I'll go,” he said. As Meyer started Capt. Kilmer remarked: “I will see that that man Is promoted.” Twenty minutes later Kilmer was killed and his company almost annihilated. Just as Meyer reached the color guard the man who was holding the colors was shot dcad. Meyers lifted up the flag and planted it on a little knoll in the face of the enemy. He was wounded, but stood bravely by the precious emblem, only carrying it away when there were no troops left to defend it. Adjutant Arthur McArthur, a boy eighteen years old, was with his company when the assault was made cn Missionary Ridge. As the Union troops ascended the ridge in bril- Mant array the color bearer was shot and killed. McArthur seized the colors from the hand of the stricken man, and, bearing them aloft, cheered his men up t mount, and was one of the first to plant the Union colors | upon the crest. Corporal George Green of company H, eleventh Ohio infantry, and Private H. R. Howard of the same company were among the first to scale the upper line of the con- federate breastworks on Missionary Ridge. They made right for one of the flags, in the face of a fire, and, ¢ protectors from it, m i aff, put i and continued on pursuit.

From Harper's Magazine. It would be threshing over well-beaten straw to talk about the pay of the writing tribe. It is the public that makes the mar- ket price and the publishers are obliged to conform to it. The pay for all literary work is much higher than it twenty years ago, and the very succ gets as much as the keen Insurance so! tor, and now and then he makes a “fluke” which puts him abreast of the stock broker. The public is willing to pay for what it likes at the moment. The soprano | and the tenor voices command a higher price than the contralto and the 1 a rule. I hear that the inusic halls, whose chief talent is but in innuendo, is paid twice the of the best actress in tragedy or comedy. The commercial value of any sort of writing resis upon the demand for it. To be in vogue with the public means tem- porarily a good income; to be out of vogue may mean starvation. The only remedy for this inequality of condition would according to our modern fashion, to teblish a literary trades unicn, in which all the members should receive the same Wages, whatever the quality of their wor @erhaps this may come about when entire communism is established, and the state owns everything and netes out the same support to the just and the unjust, to the dunce and the genius. Then there will be no rich authors, no poor authors, and per- haps it is superfluous to say, no good authors, Nor is it profitable to speculate upon the effect upon the quality of literature by the introduction of the strong commercial spirit. It may be admitted that the temp- tation to produce much copy is too strong to be resisted by the author who fs for the hour popular. But if he goes on mining sil- ver when he ought to coin gold only, he will not, in the end, drive the gold fron: circulation, but he will so reduce the value of his silver that its purchasing*power will constantly decline. A clever man who has the trick of “dictating” can produce copy much faster by the typewriter than by the pen, It is evident that some successful writers of fiction have already resorted to this scurce of wealth. I am not making a downright accusation of this practice, but the wordy and diffused, not to say sloppy, character of much of our fiction points to this kind of manufacture. The typewriter is a blessing to busin men, it is death to the charm of all private correspondence, and its extensive use in original composi- tion would inevitably dilute literature be- yond the selling point. For the public keeps in mind Byron's emphatic remark that “easy writing is hard reading. ——_—_—__+e. _______ Denied by Mrs. Jeff. Davis. Mrs. Jefferson Davis writes to the New York Evening Post to correct a piece of al- leged history that is current in the news- papers nowadays. She says: “The inclosed slip was cut from the issue of the ivening Post of the 14th instant, and I ask space for a short refutation. (The extract was from the Wichita, Kan., Eagle, giving an account of the capiure of Jefferson Davis by the enemy during the Mexican war, while he was making a re- connoissance under the orders cf Gen. Scott, and his confinement in an adobe hut for eight days with shackles on his legs, the shackles being now in possession of a nephew of Gen. Sterling Price.) “Of all the extraordinary and absurd in- ventions of a scribbler, the above state- ment is the most unfounded and easily re- futed. Mr. Davis was never with Gen. Scott's wing of the army in Mexico. He was never at Chihauhau; was never a pris- oner in Mexico, though he took many pris- oners. He commanded the first Mississippi regiment and was in Gen. Taylor's wing of our invading army. From the knowledge confederates have of Sterling Price none cf them entertain the least doubt that the gal- lant general would have risked his life at any time to serve a brother officer in duress, but happily he was never put to the test by Mr. Davis while they both were in Mexico, If that part of the statcment of the Wichita Eagle is true—viz., that Gen. Price’s nephew has such shackles as alleged—he has been imposed on by a most absurd story, of which any copy of the war office reports of that date will dis- abuse him.” MEMBERS IN TOWN BROWN, Arthur, Uiah!

From the Troy Time An after-dinner st known Philad ry was told by a well Iphia lawyer ‘a of legal d » even in the micable cont rothers who b 1 rom their 1 the proj ppurtenar nimal, carrying out s: “There were on lient for mousi livited, the elder brother front quarter, the ont quarter, and younger brothers the two Now, unfortunately, the cat, narter in one of its nocturnal prowls, injured the frent paw, and the elder brother atte to that portion of kis property by bi the injured member with a greased ra The cat, thankful for this relief to its su fering, went to sleep contentedly before fire, but in the midst of its slumbers a fall- ing coal ignited the rag, and the animal, howling with ag dashed through the warehouse, and, cpming in contact. w ne combustiMles, set the building When the loss came te be figured o three younger brothers wished to throw it all upon tne elder, upon the grounc had he not tied up his part of the cat w the inflammable rag the building would n have been destroyed.

The brothers argued the case until they died, but never could reach an agreemen pee ee Why the el Was There. From the Memphis € reial Appeal, Senator Walthall tells a story on himself, which is none the h goed by reason of the fact that the scene is laid during the late civil war. At that time the & regiment and had brought his m sition, occupying a sun’ road. A federal battery was pouring shot and shell all around the adjacent territory. This however, passed over the regiment hi lde in the roadway, and they were to all in- terts and purposes out of danger. n into pe On the high bank in front of the place nt pine where Col. Walthall stood was a gia tree about a dozen feet In circumfe Acting on the spur of the moment, the co! onei thought a fine opportunity Was pr sented to give his men an object lesson in personal bravery without any risk to him- self. Accordingly, he climbed up the bank and stood behind the pine tree. The next minute a shell struck the tree and sent a shower of bark and splinters flying in all directions, when Walthall overheard the following dialogue between two of his men lying in the roadway beneath: “I tell you, Jim, it was a mighty good for the colonel that that pine tree was there.” “Yes, Tom,” replied the other, “but if it hadn't been for the big tree the colonel would never have been there in the first place.” e+ Amusing Bulls, From the Spectator. On cne occasion Sir George Campbell had been calling attention in the house of com- mons to some abuse in Indian administra- tion, and proceeded to observe that he had further revelations to make concerning other scandals, in comparison with which this one was “a mere flea bite in the ocean.” Another time, when speaking about military affairs in India, be declared that “the pale face of the British soldier was the backbone of our Indian army. I heard John Mill tell this to amuse my brothers some seventy years ago. The de- fendant’s counsel, pointing to the plaintiff, said: “There he sits, walking up and down like a motionless statue, with the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth, trying to with- draw three oak trees out of my client’¢ pocket.”
