4 spirited woman.

An old Nevada Judge OF the early
times relates the following as "thc
most right up and snappy ebullitiu
Of womaply spnnk' that had ever fall

in this old pulpit, holding court an I

an awful lons one, and the witnesses
were tedious. None Of US took any
interest in the trial, except that rcrv-
Gus, uneasy devil OF Mexican wo.

had loved her husband with all her
might, and now she had boiled il oil
down into hate, and stood there spit

aud | tell YOU she would stir me up,
too, with q little Of her summer light

coat or, aud heel. up, lolling and
sweating, aud smoking one Of those
cabbage cigars the san Francisco peo-
pie used to think were good enough
for Us in those times and the law.
yers they all had their coats of and
were smoking anl whiting, aud tho
wttneS, the same, and 20 was tho
prisoner. Well, the fact, there warnt
any interest in a murder trial then,
because the prisoner was always
brought 10 not guilty, the jury expect
ing them TO do ~ much for them
some time; and, although the eyi-
deucc was straight and square against
thi. Spaniarl, we knew we could not
convict him without seeming to be "a.

iices-and by aud by drop her face in
her bands for just little while, as it
she was most ready TO give up; but
out she'd come again directly aud be ~

the jlry announced the verdict, not

acquitted and free to 60, that woman
rose till she appeared as tall a. a scr-
enty-iour gun ship, and says che:

Wasn't Afraid of Indians

The following has smack of Mark
Twain about il. We find it drifting
unknown through the exchanges.
=" 4 friend o! ours who took trip
to California, said that he was not
afraid of Indians, because he belonged
to the Benevolent Order Of Red Men,
and knew all the pass words aDi
winks, and all the fsurative language
and things, and mo savage was going
to touch him, initiated and fixed up
as he was in rcgalia, He hadn't gone
more thaDa hundred uiles from Oma-
hs before baud Of Iudiaus camc at
han aud seooped him up. He TOOK
the chiefaside and whispered the pass
word in his ear, and gave him the
grip twenty. times on both hands,
and made some observations about
fifth moons and happy hunting
grounds, The chief replied 10 a friend
" manner 10y tomahawking him and
jabbing his butcher knife into his
vitals. Our friend remarked that
these ceremonies were. not observed
10 his lodge; but the chief wanted
to show him all the peeuliarites OF
the Western system, so he scalped him
and chopped of his nose, and was about
to build bonfire on his stomach,
when some soldiers arrived and res
cued him. lie is now the baldest Red
Man this side of the Pacific Ocean,

GEN. LEES GOODNESS IN BATTLE
As an instance of his coolness under
trying circumstances, it is related that
during one of the hottest fights in Mex
ico he was with General Scott making
observations, when ball from the enc
my struck post or tree near him,
knocking tho bark and spliuters in his
face. General Scott exclaimed, "Lee,
are you hurt?" to which the latter re.
piled "No," and carelessly brushing
the bark and dirt from his person, pro-
cccded with his observations as if no.
thing lad, occurred. He had but few
bosom friends" and there is not an
officer in the city now with whom it
can be said that he was very intimate:
His manner being reserved, be was not
easily approached, though he was all
ways regarded as the perfect type of a
disni6ed officer. When he resigned
his commission in the United States
army, Gen. Scott was deeply affected,
and remarked to a fellow;oficer that
slice was a valuable man, and his ser.
vices we're worth millions day to any
Government. - Washington Star

"CAsTE. THE New York World
disposes of the "caste" question in the
following tart paragraph:
DAT meeting of blacks in this city
on Monday night, certain impassioncd
speeches were made, asserting the i'm
mcnse progress of the negro race to-
wards gcntility, and the. clear right of
said race to admission, on equal terms
with whites, into the best hotels. With
the customary obtuseness of the Afri.
can, it does not appear to have struck
orators at this meeting that it is but a
poor sign. Of gentility for any one to
seek to thrust in where he is not want
cd. A certain measure Of what may be
termed politeness is characteristic to the
negro; but, if meetings are to be held
for the purpose Of facilitating intrusions,
Cuffs reputation for civility will sink to
the low estate of those carpet. bag sneaks
who arc perpetually VI wLi"ing about the
social ostracism they meet South, as if
any but an ingrained blackguard would
seek admission where not wanted, or
howl about it when denied" 81

VERY SMALL INDEED.-The death
of General Robert E. Lsa has,ilDpress-
ed the public throughout the entire
country with general feelings of regret.
Old prejudices and party bitterness, if
any remained up to this tune, seem to
have been forgotten at the announce
ment of his demise The State Of Vir-
ginia, now loyal and Republican, pro.
poses to give him public funeral
The governor addressed a message to
the Legislature 10 this effect, which was
at once responded to by a unanimous
approval, and committees Of both houses
were appointed to make necessary ar
rangcments. All the cities of the South
are wrapped in mourning for great
public citizen, cultivated, highly gifted
Christian gentleman, who, if he erred
and no one believes he erred con-
sciously-survived the error, lived a
noble, dignifed life, and died in union
with the whole people. Was it not a
very small business, then, for the COL
.lector of Savannah to cause the fig on
the Custom House there, which, in
unison with the feeling of the commu-
nifty, was placed at half.staff yesterday,
to. be. hoistcd to its original position ?
Collector Robb telegraphed the infor-
nation; to Secretary Boutwell,, alleging
that the, mark of respect to the dead
was paid by his deputies without con.
sulting him, aud stating that much bad
feeling existed among citizens at his
conduct. ..
Secretary, Boutwell, approved of the
conduct of the Collector, for which he
may, not be. :. .blameable, assuming that
the, honor was intended to be paid to
General Lee. as; Commander,in- Chief Of
the Confederate armies; but it does
rot appear that this is the. case either
in Savannah Or, apyw,h here else, Gen
Lee was a great: citizen Of America
whom his own people especially. has
learned to honor. Mr.. Rbbb might
have shut his eyes to that flag at hal
staff and not bothered the Secretary
about it. It's such very small matters
that keep up the acerbity which every
honest man in the Republic desires tt
see abondoned.--New York Herald.

THE ELECTIONS ON TUEsDAY.-The
Democrats seem to have gained few
members of Congress. They also car
ried Indiana, which was real triumph
and indicates more clearly than any,
thing else that has happened lately the
possibility that the next President may
be a Democrat. The next House of
Representatives, however, will be large
ly Republican. The truth is, the north
crn Democlats have not the tact, or.
good sense, or wisdom, or what you
will, to make up good issues. The
southern Democrat formerly made up es
up for them, and then they were al;
ways successful. A party that has no
more idea of the public pulse, or of the
incomes of the masses Of the people,
than to claim support from the voters
on the ground that the Republicans tax
incomes which exceed $4,000, deserves
to be put down for stupidity. This is
single specimen of tho issues upon
which the wiseacres of the Democratic
party went before the public last.Tues-
day.. But not so in Indiana. The ell.
oqueht " orhees, the true Democrat and
friend of the South, voted and spoke

gress ought to have done.-Rickmoud

SOMETHING .WRoNo+-A. writer to
the Chicago Tribune gives hint ola mys-
teriors reality upon. which an ingealas
and characteristic romance might be
built. In the year 1852 there came to
beautiful town of Western Illinois, on
the banks of the Mississippi, a gentleman
named Hazelton, who Informed those
with whom he, became acquainted
that he had left wife and family in Ver-
mont for whom he solid send as soon
as new hcme in the West was prcpar-
ed for their reception. Purchasing choice
real estate in the town, erecting upon it
a fine residence, and entering largely
into profitable business, he was presently
ready to be, rcjoined by those nearest
his heart, and rejoiced in the oppor-
tuuity to send East for them BY a gen.
tleman about to make "a flying visit
thither. The expected wife and chill
dren, however, never came. While
the husband and father was eagerly
looking for them every day, in their
stead came letter whose, revelations
seemed to bow and blight the recipient
like withering disease. ..
What the actual tidiugs were MIR.
Hazelton 8 nearest ncigbbors and friends
in the West never knzw;. but from the
moment of reading them he went about
like one broke in every. hope of life
At once selectinga legal agent, he with,
out a word of explanation. conveyed all
his property to his wife, providing she
appeared on the spot to claim it within
fifteen years. ). In the meantime the
new house was to be rented for the pay
ment of taxes and the agents commits
sion. Having made this arrangement:
with as few as possible, the stricken
man percmptolily closed his business
in the town, even at great sacrifice,
and disappca' ed from the West. Eight
cen years have,passed, and the strangely
assigned property, now greatly enhanc'
ed in value, is still unclaimed. The
period during which the wifc's owner
ship was to hold good having expired,
the house and grounds are without
known inheritor, and challenge some
eastern household to solve family
mystery and reclaim noble estate.

AN UNFORTUNATE LIKENEss.-At
late cattle show at Westport,. Con-
necticut one of the visitors was a Mr.
Shatcr, who bears great personal re-
scmbance to j. f.. Butler. He, was
made very sensible of the fact as he
passed through the crowd on the
ground. AS he brushed by one lady,
she slapped her hand over her watch,
exclaiming: "He can't steal this any.
how" The newsboys rushed by him
singing out "spoons" and he received
so many evidences from all present that
he was generally mistaken for Butler,
that he took the first chance Of boltine
from the ground at the top Of his speed
and is supposed to be running yet.
