Indian wit.

Rev. Mr.. Johnson, a Methodist preacher in
Kansas has achieved considerable political no.
toriety by his efforts to make Kansas a slave
State. He is o missionary there among the In
dams, sent by them to the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. The effect which his course
on the slavery question has had upon his flock
is happily illustrated by the following alec-
dote, related by Rev. Mr.. Knight of Kansas,
at the meeting of the American Congressional
Union last week in New York:
At a meeting held a short time ago at the
Shawnee Mission, he (Johnson) requested one
of the converted Indians to speak, but he re-
fused for a long time, although at last be was
prevailed upon to do so. The Indian said that
he felt considerable reluctance in saying any
thing in consequence Of a dream whichhe had,
and which had troubled him greatly. His
dream was that he died ana went to he'll, and
after he had been in that doleful region. some
little time, MIR. johnson, their missionary, en-
tered. The moment he made his appearance
and he related lit just esi was tolG to MIN by
Mr.. King, the interpreter-his satanic majesty
Immediately twisted off his tail, witch he sup
posed was the sceptre Of supremacy, and hand
ed it over to JohnsoG, telling him, snow take
it, Johnson am no longer master here.o
