SHARP PRACTICE.

The Clinton (Mass.) Cowdnt sketches
the following picture of the commercial
relations between the whites and the red
skins:
There is general impression among
copper colorcd people that white folks are
smart; good at figures and logic. Indian
usually takes things easy, bat white men
takes them easier - especially if the
things are Indian. The air on the from
tier is usually good for the wits so good
that the stupidest white man can or near
ly figure a red man right out of his moe
casin on the first trial.
The two hunt together, shoot hawk
and owl, two skunks and fat turkey
Division as follows: White man takes the
turkey; Indian, hawk and owl; and they
divide the skunbs between them. The
partition proposed by the white many
sounds fair, and seems equitable, but has
a bad odor about it, some where, although
the Indian is puzzled to know whence it
comes. The skunk part of it must be
right. "Big Thunder" gets two birds to
the little Fox's one, which seems mag
unanimous on part of pale face, yet the
man of the wigwam gets nothing to
roast. Owl looks well and wise in q
glass case, but poor and foolish in pot
pie; and hawk, though handsome and
bold looking fighting fowl, runs unproft-
ably to feathers, and when undressed for
cooking is found to be like most slight
weights" of the pugnacious order, and
some voluminously crinolined feminines
rather tough customer. Meanwhile,
magnanimous pale face finds no fault
Indian can't see through it, but is forced
through lack Of logic-to a worse
lack of provender, and keeps on trading
with his "whte brother" until the poor.
est anatomist can see through him.
Very much similar sharp practice pre-.
walls in Texas When Texian goes into
Mexico, hires Mexican Indians to go into
Texian Territory, and steal Texian cat
tie, drive them over the line where white
Texian buys them at his own price, and
then, in his turn, drives them back into
American Territory, and makes a whole
