in Paris. 1t was well and noby done, and
stands out in bold contrast. But there is auo,h-

Down in Texas the preaching of the gospel is
put to curious use. There are gangs of horse
thieves in that state, as in most other states.
One of these is headed by pretended minister
of the gospel, who is in the habit of holding pro.
tracted meetings in certain localities. While
the congregation is engaged in worship, at a sig
nal from the minister the horse-theves make a
descent and steal all the horses, and are off be-.
fore their presence is discovered. All this is not
done by the rascals with the hope of going to
heaven on horseback. 1t is simply a trick sug-
gested by the devil, person of great ingenuity
and ubiquity but OF very little grace.

An Extraordinary Execution.

A gentleman of Jonesburg, Mo-, recently re-
turned from Texas, relates an extraordinary oc.
eurrence which took place short time since in
the Indian Nation. A Choctaw Indian, having
committed willful murder, was arrested, tried,
and sentenced to be shot to death. He asked for
twenty days in which to prepare and visit his
friends, giving his word of honor as "brave"
to return at the appointed time, and was allowed
to go forth withou. guard or bail.
AT the expiration of the twenty days, accord
ing to appointment, tho hour for the execution
arrived, and the Indian, true to his word. at the
very hour and minute, galloped up to the place
where the sentence was to be carried out, in COM
pany with three of his sisters and three broth
ers, all appearing as cheerful as though they had
brought on the ground, but some one remarked
that it was too small, upon which one OF the
doomed Indians brothers told him to lie down
in it and measure, which he cheerfuly did, and
laughingly said, ut fits all right" The crowd
meanwhile appeared to be in the most cheerful
spirits, and cracked jokes and laughed.
At last, when all was ready, the doomed man
was ordered to sit on the ground a handker
chief was then placed over his eyes by his sister.
While the Sheriff held one hand, one of the con-
demned Indians brothers held the other on each
side of him. The Deputy Sheriff then stood in
an old house about ten steps in front of the con.
demned, with a rifle. From some cause the rifle
went off accidentally, the bullet passing up
through the roof of the house. The Indian, be-
lieving he was shot, drew himself up and shud-
dered, but did not speak or move from the spot
black mark was then made over the Indians
heart. with spittle and powder, by his brother
while the Deputy Sheriff reloaded his rifle, and
at signal he took steady aim, fired, and pierced
the center of the mark. The Indian. with few
struggles, fell back dead, with the brother ard
the Sheriff still holding his hands. No one
seemed to be in the least affected, except the
doomed Indians mother, who shed tears. but
was told to "shut up by her son, that all was

July was originally the fifth month of the Ro.
man year, and on this account was denomnated
QuintNis. 1t had originally thirty.si1 days, but
Romulus reduced it to thirty.one, and Numa to
thirty. 1t was restored to thirty.one by julius
Caesar, who honored it on account of its being
his natal month. After the death of Caesar,
Mark Anthony changed the name to July as a
mark of respect to the family name of Caesar.
Brady says that Anthony selected this month for
such honorary distinction because the sun was
then more potent, as this denoted that julius
was Emperor of the world, and the month was
the appropriate leader of one half of the year.
The ancient Saxons called July Hay mond be-
cause their hay-harvest occurred during the
month. The great heat of July led to II super
sttion among the Romans. They conceived that
the great heat and the diseases and other calam.
tiles arising from it were connected with the
rising and setting of the star Canioula, the little
Dog star, in coincidence with the Sun, and on
this account they gave the name of Dog-days to
the period from the Sd of July to the 18th of
August. The popular deluslon that dogs are
more liable to be attacked by hydrophoba ut
this period than at any other time probably orr.
ginated in this way.

There is a little three year old colored girl at
Horn Lake, Miss, who has gray hairs in her
head, and who presents the appearance of an old
woman. She possesses u wonderful memory.
Without knowing single letter in the book,
she can spell correctly any word in the English
language that has ever been spelled in her hear
ing, and even words that she never has heard
before she spells phoneticslly, leaving out no
letter that is not silent when the word is pro.
rounced.
