"A few years ago [ was practicing
medicine in small village in Chautau-
qua county, New York. Every evening
there was gathered goodly number of
loungers in the solitary store, who were
wont to discuss topics both great and
small. The subject under exhaustive
analysis at the moment [ stepped in was
the school tax. One C., loauacious
and most obstinate fellow: and habitual
monopolzer of conversation, had nearly
finished long trade about the injustice
of the tax and his being compelled TO
pay it, though having no children to send
to school. Finally, he said, ''I'll buy me
hog, and send him; I'll get the worth
of my money somehow" Mr.. Il,
the school teacher, who was sitting be-
hind the stove, quietly remarked, Bet

THERE is no use in believing that
Tammany surpassed itself in the pur-
chase of Winans. That was for that
body an ordinary business transaction,
the only difference being that the repu-
ted price was little larger than common
Judases bring. But he was the only one
to be had; the emergency was great, and
he had all the advantages on his size.
Tammany's attempt at regulating the
Connecticut election was much better
thing, displaying young craftsmanship of
very aspiring character. The lack of
success has not discouraged the wise and
begin Tweed from attempting something
greater-no thing less than the sincere
and hearty conversion of all the negroes
in the South from the wiles and wicked
ness Of Radicalism to the ranks of their
lifelong friend and champion, the Dem
ocratic party. To accomplish this, Tam
many has found number OF colored gen.
tlemen upon whom freedom rests too
heavily, and has sent them southwark,
with New York money in their pockets,
to preach, convert and baptize their erring
brethren unto the tenets of Copperhead-
ism. These evangelical, missionaries, we
fear, will meet with such wretched success
that they will finally drop the Democratic
gospel and seize the Democratic sword,
and, at the head of a ku-Klux,, battalion,
sweep from existence the few courageous
negroes who may be spared to life and
liberty in regions where the Ku-Klux
thrive. But we do not apprehend any
increased Democratic majorities.

The recent explorations in Jerusalem
have excited great interest among the
fraternity of Free Masons throughout the
world, on account of the discovery of
what are believed TO be "Masous' marks"
on a considerable number of the immense
foundation stones recently uncovered I'M
der the debris of one Of the ancient tenn
pies Of that city.

Indian Outrages in New Mexico.

The Santa Fe Daily Post has the fol-
lowing correspondence from La Messila,
under date of April 22d: "Mr. Cosgroye,
Of the firm of t. Bennett Go, left here
this morning for the West, to look aft er
the last two coaches, as they have not
arrived. 1t is reported, and it is donbt.
less true, that they have both been cap
tured by Indians and all on board killed.
Every account from the West says the
Indians are getting worse, both on and
off the road. They have been killing
again near Silver City, and party OF sold
iers and about fifty citizens are now out
in pursuit. Last week the Indians ran
off all of Mr.. Stead S and some other cat
tie. about a mile from town. Nothing
has been heard of them since. Things
are coming to focus ip this part of the
country, for the Indians seem more de-
termined than ever to annlhllate the
whites of Southern New. Mexico and
Arizona, and unless some assistance is
given pretty soon it really seems that
they have good grounds for hoping to
accomplish this end. The Indians seem
determined to entirely interrupt the
mails between this place and Tuscon:
and thereby cut off the communication
between the two sections of country
Mr.. Hartz, conductor of j. B. Bennett
& Co. S Southern Mail and Express lines
has just reached Santa Fe, and gives the
following information: He left La Mes
sila on the afternoon of the 24th. News
had then reached there that one of the
coaches of the company had been found
on the road between La Messila and
Tuckson, burned. The body of the dirty
er was also found with his breast cut open
and his heart taken out, split in two, and
laid over his face. -Four ranchemen at
San Pedro, on the route, were also killed;
also, six immigrants coming from Tucson
to New Mexico were killed. Some OF
the captured mail had been found, with
checks cut to pieces, and was brought
into Messila by one of the conductors.
The Indians few days since killed two
Mexicans and German at Lone Noun
tain, and wounded another, an American
near Silver City. Fourteen killed and
one wounded are reported by one mail.

THE man who drinks is not always an
idiot, as one might believe. The great
statesmen have ceased to be great; the
best writer's of the world dropped their
pens when they were most useful and
most briliiant-splendid fellows, whom
men admired and women loved-haye
fallen in their heyday, because Of liquor,
In one word half the world is failure,
its hopes all wrecked, its love an offering
on ruined shrine. its schemes dead fail
ures, its crimes legion, its prisons and its
charnel houses full, because of the man
who drinks. -Ne5o Kork: Eteaing lHad.

lecturer to a somewhat noisy crowd who

Eastern village, 'How would you like a

up, and there was sudden hush of all
noisy demonstrations The lecturer
went on with his original subject for a
few minutes, when some incautious
individual broke out, ''Say, where the

DURING the long French war, two old

his second wife. One day she asked
