PRIDE OF ANCESTRY REBuKED.-The PEN
sacola Observer tells the following good
story:
Many years ago there lived a young
gentleman who took it into bis head that,
ike John Randolph, he was of Indian
descent, though, unlike John, he did not
exactly know the tribe to which his fore
fathers belonged, The idea was a per-
feet monomania with him, notwithsand-
ing the efforts made by his friends to con
vince him of the folly of his ~pretensions,
to say nothing Of the absurdity of them,
even if they could be established. Tie
favorite notion, however, could not be
eradicated from his mind, and he promis-
ed his friends that be would one day con-
vince them that he was right.
Having heard that a deputation of
Indians were at Washington, on a visit
to their great father, the President, be
promptly repaired to that city, aud ar.
ranged with the gentleman having them
IN charge. His friends in the city were
surprised to receive an invitation to ac-
company him on a visit to the red men,
before whom he proposed to verify his
pretensions. The party met, al request
ed, and found the Indians sitting on the
floor, smoking their pipes, and manifest.
ing but little appreciation OF the honor
Of the visit.
Having arranged bis friends at a res
pectful distance from the aged chief, who
still regarded the visitors with stolid in.
difference, the young man stepped boldly
from the center, and presuming hat it
would require some show of energy to
arouse the chief from his apparent apa-
thy, he placed his hand upon his breast,
and said, with great fearlessness, Me
indian long time ago.
Without moving a muscle of his face,
the old chief slowly arose from his sit
ting posture, and turned bis eagle eyes on
the speaker. His friends say the chief
evidently understood, or at least appear
ed to understand, the meaning Of the
speech addressed to him, and they gazed
lntentiy on the solemn proceedings
b young man bore the searching glance
OF the Indian without emotion. All felt
that the awful moment had come. Nov
ing sufficiently close to the speaker, the
chief raised his hand, and carefully TAX
ing a lock Of the young mans hair be-.
tween his finger and thumb, gently rub

expectation. Quietly withdrawing his

richness is unrivaled, and they extend

Of the statues.
There are pedestals of steps reft of
their statues, which are more lofty and
larger than Saint German fAuxerrois. =
Think Of octagonal pyramids cut off at
the middle, and all in marble.
Who has done these things !? If it was
some iIlustrious dynasty, they can have
but little satisfaction with the oblivion
that has e~nveloped their magnificent
monuments. The people Of the country
have no real conception of the builders,
although their literature extends back in
to the centuries much further than ours.
