The Indian and the Hostess.

We find in Harper's School District
Library, the following locanic story rela.
ted of an Indian, who called at an inn in
the dusk Of the evening, and requested
the hostess to furnish him with food and
drink, stating that he had no success in
hunting, and could not pay till be had
better fortune. The woman refused. and
began to scold him. calling him lazy
drunken, goodfor-nothing fellow. A
man who sat by, noticed The poor savage,
as he turned away from the unfeeling
shrew, and generously ordered her to fur
nish him with good supper, for which
he himself would pay. The Indian hav-
ing finished his meal, thanked his bene-
factor again and again, assuring him that
he should never forget his kindness.-H He
added, that he had short story 10 tell,
should the woman bo willing to hear him.
The hostess now made good-natured,
readily consented. The Indian address

SHEARTNG JACoBN.-The Paris cor.
respondent of the London Morning
Chronicle relates scene that took place
at one ofthe most violent of the Clubs,
which is too characteristic ofthe mixed
gayety and ferocity of the French char.
acter to be omitted. An ardent Repub-
lican, in addressing the meeting with
more than ordinary violence. worked
himself up TO such pitch of rage against
aristocrats, monarchists, and conspirators
against the Republic, that he at length ex.
claimed, The Republic will not be safe
till at least three hundred thousand heads
have fallen!" This propopositisn was
received with loud murmurs and cries of
"Turn him out' but at length one of the
members rose and said, "The sentiment
is noble and patriotic one. l should
like to have lock of that citizen's hair"
Loud applause followed, and the lock of
hair was promptly in the hands of the
demander. Presently another admirer
ofpatriotism expressed his wish for por-
tion of the citizens locks. and hundreds
followed. The end of it was, that the
ardent democrat, who was anxious for
three hundred thousand aristocrat heads,
was turned ont of the meeting without
single hair on his own.

SAGACITY OF THE HoRsE.--Sometime
last January, several horses were stolen
in the vicinity of Woodville, Miss, and
the thief with his prizes. was followed
around the country until their track was
lost in the vicinity ofthis city. The own.
er OF one of the horses CHANGED, few
days since, to be driving along street in
this city, a horse the mate of one of the
stolen ones with which he had worked
for years. All at once arose a neighing
of surprise and delight and horse in a
beer cart came breaking away, from his
station, and rushing up to the horse of
the gentleman, lavished upon him all the
endearments which horses art of love
may be supposed to teach. The thing
was clear--the stolen horse had recog.
inized his mate, and was at once identi.
fed and claimed by his lightful owner.--

TheSinmese Twins.

The Siames twins are living in North
Carolina. as farmers, and both are mar.
ried. A correspondent of the Richmond
papers, who has recently visited their
home, writes some interesting details in
relation to their domestic life.
The twins can chop wood remarkably
fast. four hands being on the axe at the
same time. They also shoot at a mark
or game with their four hands resting on
the gun. They drive their horses forty
miles to Wilkes, themselves: and do any
work about the farm. Mrs. Eng says her
husband is very kind to the negroes, and
that Chang is very severe with them--
Mrs. Eng is also better disposed than
Mrs. Chang, and is the prettiest.
Mrs. Eng is close and saving; and Mrs.
Chang is disposed to indulge in dress and
various other expenses. The twins rare
ly differ about dress; but often differ in
their ideas of purchasing negroes or
land. The opinion of Eng is always the
law, and Chang readily acquiesces. Eng
does all the writing including the signing
OF notes and other important papers,
Eng is one inch taller than Chang, and
Chang's wife is taller than Engs.
Some old lady in the neighborhood a
few days ago, asked Eng which was the
oldest! and he replied that he was Just
six months older than his brother
Well, says the old woman, l thought
there was about as much difference, for
you are purity considerable bigger ithon
your brother. They are good on Joke,
and the old lady was in earnest. They
have blacksmith shop on their farm and
shoemaker shop also. l saw good
sized frame house that they made, with
out any assistance, from foundation to
roof. AT the table they both use a
bench, and each has his own knife and
fork.
asked them if they both expected to
die at the same timel and they replied
that 1t could not be otherwise; for if the
same disease did not take them off at
one time, as the living one would have to
be separated from the dead body, the act
of separation would be his death; but
their general impression is that they will
both die of the same disease, and at the
same time. Any of the neighbors offer
ing an insult to one, the other resents it;
and it would take a champion to cope
with them in rough and tumble fight
]" use an expression of their nei gbors,
"they fight like cats"

There is living in Moscow Russia, a
Venerable lady who is only l6S years of
age. She has had five husbands, and the
gay old belle. married the last one in her
l2lst year. A Spanish contemporary very
appropriately applies to her the familiar
Spanish salutalion of "Dios conserve su
vida mil amos, God preserve her life a
thousand years."
There seems to be much more hope in
this case of modern days.
