sharp TRANSACTION in IA Horse Trade

Quite recently a business man who
could talk horse very learnedly, and
who thought he was pretty well ln-
formed on the subject of horse-hesh,
swapped small white for fine cream
colored horse, by paying such "boot" as
he thought gave him "a real bargain"
Shortly afterward he met a man with a
beautiful, glossy, coal-black horse, who
was willing to swap for the cream, for
An amount of boot named. Our busi-
ness man accepted the offer very readily,
paid the required boot, and took pos
session of the glossy coal-black. Very
soon, however, the coal black began to
grow rusty, and in spite of great care
in the way of currying and washing,
the rusty tint increased in rustiness,
when, upon making "a scientific exami-
nation" the glossy cOal-black was found
to have been simply another manifesto
tion of the remarkable progress the
country is making in the fine art OF
hair-dyeing, and especially horse hair
dyeine. Our business mans new coal
black horse turned out to be his original
white one, which he had swapped for
the cream m-color.-PrOridence Journal

Travelling in the West some weeks

little city of Wilmington, Illinois,
about fifty miles south of Chicago, on
the Alton railroad. Just before we ar

dollars, taken from! desk in his house

IS keen-eyed Frenchman, and after a
few days of close observation IN a quiet
manner, he concluded there was just
reason to suspect a man by the name oil
TomblesOn, who had recently been In
business with him, and who knew some
thing of his affairs, and was familiar
with the different apartments OF his
dwelling. He felt sure of his man. On

half mile from the city, and dug
grave in q conspicuous place. Early

way on Mr.. T., aud invited him to take
a walk up the river a short distance to
zee lot of lumber, pretended to have
been purchased by him and lying IN
that direction. They started off to-
gether, and on their way passed through
the cemetery. When they reached the
newly made grave-which the French
man took care should be seen on their
way-Mr. I. inquired of him what it
meant, and for whom it was dug !!
When, drawing revolver, he replied,
at mean for you, You iaust be bury dare
if you shall not tell me where nv mo-
nee" The rascal, taken W surprise,
scarcely knew what to say Q, do. He,
however, mustered courage to d-pv the
burglary and assert his innocence. But
the Frenchman had judged him guilty.,
passed sentence upon him, and swore is
would execute it unless the crime was
confessed and the money restored.
"Now you pray one minute" cried be

fellow, knowing well the disposition o
his assailant, dhpped on his knees owe

come, with trembling lips, amid hi
cries for mercy, confessed his guilt, an,

he led to the place where the money wa

THE NEW WEDGE.
Breach Between General Grant aud
Congress. ~
From the Washington Dispatch to the New
York World

|
| Congress-. W. f
From the Washington Dispatch to the New
| York World
| The sudden and widening breach be-
tween General Grant and the Fortieth
Congress is the topic of the capital to-
night. No now annunciatiOns have
been made by the President elect. He
has not referred to the subject, and only
casual callers have dropped into his
headquarters. His position, stated in
these dispatches last night, to the effect
that he demands the repeal of the Civil
Tenure law, and the continuance of the
law providing for Congress to meet in
March, has been confirmed to-day by the
flutter it has caused in Radical circles.
A few Senators-Nye,t Morgan, Sum-
ner and Stewart-are here, and had an
informal meeting to-day in reference to
the new situation. These Senators were,
without exception, in favor of the con-
tinuance of the Civil Tenure bill, no
matter what may be The result. They
declared that Congress was prepared to
yield nothing to dictation, and that
General Grants extraordinary and per-
emptory demand ought at least to have
been postponed until the occasion of his
message, and then been respectfully
coached in tho 70, III of proclamation.
They deny that Congress intends to
construe the Civil Tenure bill against
any desire General Grant may have to
execute summary removal upon noto-
rious officials; but they decline to abro-
gate the law altogether because, as
Mr.. Sumner declares, the security of the
future requires it. The Senators charge
that any rupture between Grant and
Congress will lie referabe 20 the for
mer, whose gauntlet has been thrown
down in advance; but that the crucial
sest to which the Civil Tenure bill was
put in the Impeachment proceedings
proved that it must stand. kilograms
have been received to-day from Butler
and Wilson on the sudden situation.
Butler is said simply to have said,
stand firm. Wilson enjoined no haste,
and patience; and Senator Sherman,
who is now here, gravely keeps his own
counsel. Senator Morton, who is
here, processes to be busted with
his financial studies, and declines
to discuss the Civil-Tenure issue, believ-
ing, however, that when Trnmbull and
Fessenden return all will be made right.
On the contrary, Senator Henderson
was to-day free in his opinion that the
law was worked badly and that Gener-
al Grants demand for its repeal in ad-
vance was timely and right. 1t is con-
ceeded that the bill will not be repeal
ed, anG that General Grant has only
succeeded in precipitating hostility
which was net expected to show itself
so soon. The other demand of Grant
for a session of the Forty-frst Congress
will be acceded to.
