General Spinner as Religious Enthusiast

The Treasurer of the United States is the
homeliest man on earth-as any one may see
bv referring to his likeness on the fiftv cent
postage stamps. When | was introduced to
him at breakfast, he smiled-and it broke a
saucer. In the course of his remarks he
chanced to smile again, and it broke plate
Out of sympathy for the landlord, l checked
this calamatous cheerfulness, by deftly
changing the subject to funerals But it was
another matter l wished to speak Of Now,
many people are not aware of it, outside of
his church, but Gen. Spinner is devout and
sensitively Conscientious Methodist, in reli
gion, and in politics is a radical. But even
the purest of US are not safe from calumny-
as know from my own exrerience 1t began
to be whispered around that under yery
trying and extraordinary circumstances Gen.
Spinner was guilty of swearing a little,
sometimes. The church took the matter in
hand as quietly as possible, and appointed a
discreet sister the grieving mourner of a
husband and three gallant brothers slain in
the war; to inquire ineo the matter. Instead
of gathering evidence at second hand. she
went to headquarters she posted herself
among crowd of waiting ones in the Gen.
erals office. The old man was absorbed in
business. and working away like a steam
engine. File after file of men passed before
him, and he shot his decision at them in
sharp, curt sentences, and they moved on
Finally tall, handsome man approached,
and handed in his documents for examina-
tion. The General ran his eye down the
pages, and thunder cloud settled porten-
tiously upon his countenance He threw
down the papers and shook his fist fercely
IN the gentleman's face and said:
F" You are come to me with this ! You,
you sneaking hound of deserter! You
bring paper here signed by the President
OF the United States, setting forth that when
you deserted from the regular army to 60 and
fight four years against your country, there
were four months pay coming to you from
the Government you SO outraged, and order
ing me to pay you those arrearagesl I'd see
you and the President hundred million

Bloody Revenge.

A young man is now stopping at the Key

ter, whose parents, brothers, sisters and
relatives were all murdered at Redwood,
Minnesota, in the great Indian massacre of
1861. lie is the sole survivor, and was the
only one left to communicate the mournful
intelligence to the nearest settlement Bereft
IN one brief hour OF all that he held dear on
earth, and with the victims of savage ferocity
extended in death before him, he took a
solemn VOW of vengeance. How well he has
performed that vow, the reader NAV Judge
when we state that in six years young Porter
has, alone, and with the assistance of nothing
but his trusty rife, sent to the happy hunting
grounds the souls of one hundred and eight
Indian braves. He carries with him piece
OF cane brake, about twelve inches in length,
and whenever he killed an Indian he would
make a notch in this. One hundred and
eight notches are now to be counted on the
