The following story is told Of Doctor
Caldwell, formerly President Of the I'M.
versity of North Carolina:
The old Doctor was a small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the most
irregular Of pine knots. He looked as If
he might be tough, but did not seem
strong. Nevertheless he was, among the
knowing ones, reputed to be as agile as
a cat; and, in addition, was by 10 means
deficient in the knowledge of the noble
science Of obedience Besides he was
as 'cool as a cucumber Well, in the
Freshman class of a certain year-andI
believe the story goes that the fellow nev-
err got out. Of the Freshman, though the
Doctor certainly did put him through
in one sense of the word--was a burfy
and beefy mountaineer of eighteen or
nineteen. This genius conceived a great
contempt for old Bolus' physical Gimen-
sions, and his soul was Mortified at the
idea that one so defcientin muscle should
be so potential in his rule. Poor Jones
that's what well call him-hadn no idea
of moral force; at any rate he was notin-
clined to knock under to it, and be con
trolled despotically by a man that he inn
agined he could lie and whip. He at
length determined to give the old gentle
man a g%enteel, private thrashing, some
night in the College Campus, pretending
10 mistake him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on a dark and rainy night
Jones met the Doctor crossing the CAM
pus. Walking up to him abruptly. with
Hello Smith! you rascal--is that you!
And with that he struck the old gentle
man a blow on the side Of the face that
had nearly felled him. Old Bolus said
nothing, but squared himself and at it
they went. Jones' youth, weight, and
muscle made him an sugly customer but
after round Oh two, the Doctors science
began TO tell; and in a short time he hati
knocked his beefy antagonist down and
was astraddle of his chest, with one hand
on his throat and the other dealing Wig
orous cuffs on the side Of his head.
.Ah! stop!-I beg pardon Doctor
Doctor CALDWELL mistake-for heav-
ems sake Doctor!' groaned Jones, who
thought he was about to be eaten up-l
really thought it was Smith,
The Doctor replied with a 'word and
a blow aliernately-'it makes no'-Ca
hearty job!1 diFerence']j job. job!]-
'for ALTA wrench of the throatlE
present purposes'-[licks fall like hail.
consider me SMITH And, it is said,
hat old Bolus gave Jones such a thrash
ing, 'then and there as probably pre-
vented his ever making another mistake
as to personal identity, at least on the
College Campus!-Horn Of Mirth.

An Indian Breakfast.

On the 18th we were padding along
at daylight. On putting on shore TO
breakfast, four Indians on horseback join
ed US. The moment they alighted one
e tabout hobbling their horses, another
to gather small sticks, a third to make q
fire, and the fourth to catch fish. For
this purpose the fisherman cut Off bit Of
his leathern shirt, about the size Of q
small bean; then pulling two or three
hairs from his horses tail for a line, tied
the bit of leather to one end Of it, in
place of a hook or fly. Thus prepared.
he entered the river a little way, sat down
on a stone, and began throwing the small
fish, three or four inches long, on shore,
just as fast as he pleased; and while he
was thus employed another picked them
up and threw them towards the fire,
while the third stuck them up round it in
a circle, on small sticks, and they were
no sooner up han roasted. The fellows
her sitting down, swallowed them
heads, tails, bones, fms and all-in no
time, just as one would swallow pc yolk
of an egg. Now all This was bdv0le work
Of a few minutes; and before our man
had his kettle ready for the fire, the In
dams were already eating their breakfast.
When the fish had hold Of the bit Of wet
leather, or bait, their teeth got ~entangled
in il, so as to give time to jerk them on
shore, which was to Us a new mode of
angling, fire produced by the friction Of
two bits Of wood, was also a novelty; but
what surprised us most Of all was the
rcgularit; with which they proceeded.
and the quickness of the whole process,
which actually took them less time to
perform than it Iias taken me to note it
down.-Ross' .adventures IN Oregon.

ec-chick-ee--ee!
Here they came, roosters, and hens;
and pullets, and little chicks-crowing,
cackling, chirping, flying ard fluttering
wei beds, chairs, and tables; alighting on
the old woman's head and shoulders, Hut
,ering again her sides, pecking at her
hands, and creating a din and confusion al
together indescribable. The old lady
seemed delighted to exhibit her feathered
stock and would occasionally exclaim
Ia nice passed. Amt they-a nice pas
sell But she never would say what
they were worth, no persuasion could
bring her 10 the point; and our papers at
Washington contain no estimate of the
value of the widow Stokes poultry,
though as she sand herself, she had "a
mighty nice passed."

RATTLE SNAKE MISUNDERSTANDING the
wilds of Lake George, in the northern
part Of this State, there is an old man
who makes his living by catching rattle
snakes, pulling the teeth of those he
wants to sell to showmen, and making oil
out of others-an oil which ignorant peo-
Pile have been quackizcd to believe in
its superior virtues for rheumalisms and
sprains. To catch them he EMPLOYS a
strong leather hoop eight or ten feet in
lengths@ With this pole he cautiously
approaches the den, in the front Of which
the snakes bask in the sun, placing the
moose over the head and neck--the moose
being so constructed that when the snake
struggles, the tighter he is held, render
ing escape impossible. When the old
fellow wishes to tame them and render
them harmless, he extracts their fangs in
he following manner: He lays the head
across q log of wood, then places his foot
on the neck, pressing it until his snake
ship throws back his upper jaw-the
mode in which they bite; he then ap-
plies a pair of pinchers, and with the
GOODNESS Of an experienced dentest pulls
on. the fangs n by one!--Sci. Am.
