Cor. Ilochoi-tor Loruocrat and Chronicla.
Tahi.kquah, InJ. Ter. Tho Cherokeoa bav
4,473 adopted whites, who hare married Cher
otoo women and havo all tho right of a citizen
of their natio'L An Indian maiden will choose
a wLito niHU for a hUHband every time, for he
makes a lx.tt'.r provider than an Iudiau. By
mai ria,;o hhe thinks ttho coufors a great honor
on him in thus elovatiug him to citizenship in
her nation, aud conferring upon him free
l ind-i, no taxation, offioo in the tribal govoin
metit, and other emoluments, Many of theso
half-breed Clieroko woinnn aro cultivated in
mind, beautiful in peiHon, induHtrious iu habit,
ai.d will compare well wi:h tho more favored
wou.ou in the north and cant. They have mag
iiiliccnt heads of hair, long and black, all their
own, and with jet black eyes and pearl teeth,
drodie d in that fashionable attire in which they
all lo. e lo nppcar, they would not be recognized
in ea.dc-m drawing-rooms as that part of tho
original inhabitants of our country known as
-Haws, a namo long since repudiated here.
I-t it bu known, then, that whito men of worth
and i hir.i -ti-r aro popul ir among the Loautioa
of this territory.and four out of flvo who come to
make a home among thorn, marry theso dusky
maidens, get a citizenship, surround them
solves with ample acres and the comforts of
life, ptrticipate in tho atTairs of government
and Ixicome tho muit active and wealthy citi
zens of the territory. A chief trait in tho
character of many whito men both in this
country aud out of it is to get pOHSjaion of ita
productive lauds. Iiv committing matrimony,
Ihey can kill two birds with one stone get a
wife aud farm too. It is expected, therefore,
that mercenary motives .lio at tho foundation
of matrimonial movolneuts. The Chero
kees are proud of thoir blood, and every
whito man who has a drop of Cherokee
blood iu his veins will appear at court aud
prove it and become legally recognized as a
1'hei okee. It sometimes appears that a man
learns that one of Lis ancestors married, a
Cherokee in Oeorgia or Alabama, and that he
has a little ludinau blood in him. Ha then
forthwith makes out application and files aili
davit in proof of the fact Hence wo have
many who are called C'horokees who are as
white as the whitest man in New York or New
England. Of onch applications t5 have been
accepted and 5-1 rejected. This shows that
tho Indians are particular to preserve their
tribes from extinction, and yot be just to every
man entitled to citizenship. In the Cherokee
nstion there aro 5.3.V.' white men who are not cit
izens. 1 hey mcludo variotis trades and pro
fessions. Some of them keep groat herd of
cattle and make 1 u-ge am.iniiW of money from
theso splendid pasture Juiid.. There are from
tf.iH)'.) to lii .Cm colored people in the entire ter
ritory, and from lO.ttO to 1l,CKio whites all
told. Tho humau conutonances present
among us a brilliant rainbow of colors, from
tho deepest jet of Africa to tho purest
wiiito of Caucassia, This is a land of
mixtures, of the intermarriage of races.
Indians are married to negroes, and whites are
married to Indians, aud to negroes also.
Wherever the white blood is iutsrmingled
through marriage with e::bar Indian or negro
blood tho whito principle prevails in the child
ren. Honce it is that wo nava so many white
Indians and white negroes. One might visit
whole villages along t:ie Missouri Pacific rail
road without tho leant suspicion from the ap
pearance of the inhabitants that he was in an
Indian country. If the interma,-ryuig goes on
in the future as it has in the past every particle
of Indian and negro physiogomy and color will
disappear from the people of this land. As
the lMiglish language is uprooting and banish
ing Indian dialo.-t, so whito will in time extir
pate both black and copper color. Wherever
the white blood prevails m an Indian the ele
ments of a white man's character prevail. The
whiter he gets the more he cultivates agricul
ture and commerce; liberty and law, learning
and letters. "The Indian problem," as it is
called, is being solved by the blending of the
blood of both whites and Indians in their off
spring. lass t.hinirles.
A manufacturing firm in Pittsburg,siys The
Brick, Tile, and Material Review, has made a
now departure in tlio vtso of glass, a patent
having recently been granted to them for the
manufacture of glas shingles. It is claimed
for this material tint it is more durable,
stronger, -and more impervious to rain than
slate or any other substance now used. The
manufacture of thoae ehinglos will also be
comparatively iuexponrdve, and they can be
placed in position by any ordinary workman.
They can be used for weather-boarding or
siding houses.and will be found especially eor
vfceable for conservatories or hot-houses, as
they can bo made of transparent as well as of
opa'que or transparent glass. These
shingles have tho advantage of elate iu
several particulars. In consequence ol
their shape they lie solid on the roof, and so
can bo used on comparatively flat roefs, end
:hev will admit of persons walking on them
without danger of fracture, a quality which
slate does not possess. They aro interlocked
o as to leave the interstices between them, and
one rivot holds each pair of shingles, so that
tiiey cannot be forced from their places by
wind cr other atmospheric disturbances. They
aro also matlo so as to have very little wasi'e
material. It takes 3J0 slates, each eight by
twelve inches, to cover what is technically
known aa a "square" of roof (a 8D:ice measur
ing ten feet each way), but 150 of these shin
gles will suffice for the same space. Slates lap
oa the ends in the roofing, bur
the shingles lap on the sides. It has
bean proved by experiment that of two
adjacent houses one covered with
state the other with translucent glass, and
the heat of a room near the roof in the former
iv.iiiding will esceed that of ono similarly situ
ated in the latter, during summer, by thirteen
degrees; glass loofs are also warm in winter.
Class is likowiso a non-conductor of electricity,
and houses with these roofs will need no light
nitig conductors. Although the kind of glass
iutended to be nsod in theso shingles is non-
an.-pareut. vt spaces for skylights may be
tilled with transparent glasa. The exposed
;rts of tho shiuglas are corrugatod to increase
he strength and carrv o.T the watr. The firm
will construct the shingles in handsome dia-
iitnid shapes, and they can be supplied in any
:olor required, or of no color if preferred. A
roof with colored border and opalescent body is
said to very handsome.

CAPTAIN OTTDtQES'S OAS.

New York SUr.
Last winter, la Washington, tbe habitues of
the capitol became very familiar with a flrnr
that halted its corridors flrore alert and
erect in spite of the snowtbatch time had laid
on its head, and possessed of the manner and
dignity that go with the title of "old school,"
It was Captain Douglass Ottinger, of the rev
enue marine, and he was asking. In bis 87th
year, to be retired on full pay, in consideration
of services rendered. Uis name is known only
to tho marine authorities of tho world, the
service and bis friends ; bnt there are thous
ands of people who owe their lives to him for
he is the inventor of the life-car, the ball and
line, and the famous sand-wheel.
Tho life -car is his first-born and dearest in
vention. He spent his freshest enthesiasm on
it, aud carried his faith in the floating capacity
of its corrugated iron form to the point of be
ing shut up in it and drawn through the East
Ilivor. lie toilod and struggled until he got it
introduced into the wrecking stations, and then
went to California in command of the first ves
sel that carried the '-iters round the Horn to
the El Dorado of their hopes and dreams.
The life-car lay in the stations, scorned by
the wreckers, derided as a madman's dream,
and condemned as useless, until the wreck of
the Ayrihire,whieh chanoed on Christmas Eve,
off tho coast of Erigautine Beach, N. J. It had
been a hard season, and, as the 34th wore on,
the weather grew thicker and nastier every
moment The wind woke and squalled over
tho sea until the surface as far as the eye could
reach was yard-thick with the foam. The gale
bore dead on shore, and the waves hurried be
fore it so rapidly that they could hardly cnrl
and break before they were torn by the storm
and trampled down by the "white horses" be
hind them. Tli a sand flew along the beach.
whipDing and stinging whatever it met; and
the air was filled with the roar of the tempest.
The coast guard kept watch with an anxiety
which was born not altogether of humanity in
tho abstract, aud at eleven o'clock concluded
they might turn in. They had hardly reached
this decision when a sound came op from the
sea that was neither tbe breaking surf nor the
wind; and they kuew a shin was running to
wreck, and was crying for help through tho
iron mouths of her guns.
They limberod up the wagon, mounted the
life boat and were on the shore in fewer min
utes than a landman would think possible. The
clouds were driving faster than the water; the
snow and sleet fell like arrows; theses had
grown wilder, and, outlined against the scud
and drift, they could make out a large brig.
She was plunging and rearing, as if she knew
a'lae shore sing for har bones; and yet, strug
gle as she miit, she came nearer with every
roll.
As the gala swept by it brought the sound of
voicos shouting, and on-re the shrill, high cry
of . woman.
Th inea looked at each other, as white as
the ttorn),then shook hands quietly all around,
and then got into the boat.
Tho waves tore the oar3 away and threw the
boat high on tho beach. Again they launched
her, and again they were pitched back, bruised,
half-drownod, and one with his right hand
smashed.
But the cry of the woman's voice knelled
over tho water, and, in their extremity, they
thought of the life-car. Any thing was better
than inaction, oven "Ottinger's folly and they
hurried back to the station as if they were
part of the etorm. The car, the mortar, the
arrows and the ball and line were soon on the
beach. The charge was rammed home; the
instructions, in German, Freech and English,
fastened to tho line ; and then the mortar
Burnt a hole in the night
The ship, meantime, had drifted so near that
death ran under her keel ; and the piping wail
of childron mingled with the other noises of
dread.
The captain of the vessel told mo, years af
ter, that he should never forget that night
They hid fired all the dry powder they had
for the whole place awash and had got never
a sound from beyond the breakers. Suddenly
a puff of flame appeared, and in a few seconds
something whizzed down his face and fell at
his feet It was a line scarce larger than his
forefinger but it came from shore! He did
what his Baa-training impelled him to began
to haul the rope homo. Something struck his
hands ; tho binnacle-light showed him a slip of
wood covered with letters. He read, and then
hauled away cheerfully. A hawser slipped
over the side, and af tor that oame a sharp
black nose of iron ; and then the life-car.
One of the men volunteered to go aloft and
rig the rope over a block ; and did it, too
brave fellow !
Then came the question of who should enter
the strange craft, for it is shaped like two
cones set base to base, with the air-chamber
ou ton. A little oneninz admits the ship
wrecked, and shuts them in hermetically. A
ring is at each apex, to which the shore and
ship lines ar eattached. A belt of cork as thick
as a child's bodv surrounds it and hand-ropes
depend from its sides. "Women first," sailors
rulo for woe or weal, and yet tho women were
afraid, and a few minutes of curious stillness
.'ell on tbe crowd grouped about tho car. But
the waves played a death-reel en the ship's
side, and the wind shrieked a miserere, and
There was a mother on board with four little
children. She was the one who went first and
in her strange prison-house passed from death
to life.
The car went back and1 forth' all night, and
bv dav-dawn seventy people were sheltered in
the station and about the neighborhood. "Ot
tinger's folly" had become Ottinger's fame
and the timbers of the Ayrshire lay scatterdd
for miles along the shore Of this car he made
a free erif t to our government and to those of
all the maritime nations of tho world refus

Uns and Downs of the Tariff Policy.
Springfield Kepublican.
For the third time in the history ef our pro
tective policy, the nation has begun to reduce
tho rate of the tariff. If we start with tho
manufactures created by the was of 1812, and
the consequent exclusion of imports, and count
the tariff of 1S16 aa the beginning we can easily
grasp the ups and downs of our policy by tho
a I or the ionowing tame:
Tariff of 1816, 4 years, 21 per cent
Tariff of 1820, 4 years, SO per cent
Tariff of 1821, 4 years, 38 per cent
Tariff of 1848. 4 years. 42 Der cent
Oomnromise tariff. 1832. with sliding- scale for
lu years, reducing 2 per cent a year 43 to 20
per cent
Tariff of 1842, for 4 years, 33 per cent
Tariff of 1846, for 11 years, 24 per cent
Tariff of 1857, for 4 years, 19 per cent
Morrill tariff of 1851. decreased in 1872. in
creased in 1875. amounting noon the duti
able imports from 48 (lfetiT) to 43 (1882) per
cent
Commission tariff of 1383, 33 per cent
It should be added thst whereas the value of
articles imported upon the free list fifteen
yenrs ago lss than 5 per cent of the
whole, it was SO pei- cent of the whole in 1882,
and will probably be fully one-third under tho
new tariff.

Knaola'a Urratsrn and Power.
Rev. Dr. John Hall's Lecture.
One Of the first lessons that I learned in Rus
sia was humility. I confess to have been
guilty often of boasting of tho magnitude of
the United States ; but when wo think of tho
extent of Russia, we have to drop our Mwaggnr
and boasting and become meek and moderate
From east to west Russia is G.000 miles across,
and from north to south 3,000, or, in round
numbers, Russia has double the extont of ter
ritory possessed by tho United States. Thon
there are 85,000,000 people under the autocratio
sway of the czar of Russia, made up oi' a mix
ture or races greatly in excess of the mixture
hero. The dress, habit, manner, custom, and
oven language among us is nearly the same ;
while in Russia there widely marked differences.
If any millions of the czar'B subjects cannot
read the Russian tongue. In the matter of un
occupied land, too, Russia is our superior. In
some parts the population is only two persons
to the square mile, and the average for tbe en
tire country is only ten to the square mile. It
is easy to see, tnureiore, me enormous i acui
ties Russia has far producing cereals, and you
can imagine the mighty power in the punno
policies of the world possessed by this peo

dissimilar to those in New Jersey. The land is
only partly cultivated; it is mostly flat, in
many places marsny ana in oinera anrrm
with a growth of inferior wood. Imagine New
Jersey magnified by 10,000 nd you can form
a picture of Russia. Lang'itor. The tem
perature in July and August is very like that
experienced by the people in New Jersey in
May or June. Any of you will bo surprised to
learn that Siberia, about which we have heard
such terrible stories, is tho best and richest
Erovince in Russia. Soveral of tho exiles have
ecome rich and prosperous. Something akin
to the development of Anitralia, which was
first used by England as a place for tbe trans
portation or convicts, has ocourred with regard
to Siberia.
I have hone for Rnssia. We have known
how slowly 5,000,000 of freedmen have Jrisen,
surrounded as they have been by every favor
able circumstance. The process is necessa
rily slow. Men in masses go down easily, but
it is not so easy to lift them up. We must re
member that it was only in i&ou mat w, w ',""o
of Russian serfs were sot free. But schools
have become more plsntiful; trade is becoming
a factor: tho sonso or rreeuom among ine peo
ple is growing; the power to read and the de
mand for books are increasing; aud the pro
cess of raising is surely going on. Russia

eye; and I am one of tlioso that believe that a
government at once limited and liberal for
ussia is within a measurable distance of real
ization.

Old Whisky In Bond.

number of drinks in a gallon of whisky is
