"CUT'UM TOO SHORT"
How n NOVaje Indian DeCked
His Dogs Tail.

The distance between my post and
Santa Fe was over 800 miles, and |
was ordered to survey new route.
a company numbering eighty men
was detailed for the purpose, and, as
the course lay partly through a wood
ed region, n considerable squad was re-
CURED to act as aXemen.
Three or four lovely black-and-tan
terriers accompanied the command,
afiording no little amusement by their
activity in swapping up unwary GO
pliers, rats, mice, and other vermin.
The aborigines, who frequently honor
ed us with their presence, claiming to
be Good Indian, me-" were eXces-
sively pleased at those performances.
On a certain occasion one stalwart fell
low, who spoke Il few words of English,
said to me:
"Nantauh, heap good dog"
yes" 1 replied, "they are good
dogs"
"Cut 'um ear, cut 'um tail, make
'um good dog"
Certainly; it is because their ears
and tails are trimmed that they go
around so lively"
tail?F
YES; bring your dog. I'll have
him fixed for you"
Next day my Navajo friend appear
ed with a small, black, Indian fist,
sporting a long tail, and ears to CORES
pond. Unrolling this quadruped from
his blanket, he signified a desire TO
have the job done without delay so
called two men, and babe one hold the
dog while the other locked his tail
with an axe. This did not suit Red
skin, who refused to trust his favorite
10 the tender mercies of a savage white
man, and preferred to perform the OPP
Grafton himself. l therefore ordered
one of the men to hold the dogs tail
over q convenient log, while the other
held his head and fore paws. All be-
ing ready, the Indian seized an axe,
but instead of using it as any other
person would have done he swung the
blade high above his head with both
hands, as if the object to be separated
required his whole strength. Just
then the soldier who held the tail
gave it sudden pull, while the one at
the head gave a corresponding push. |
Down came the keen weapon, divid- |
ing the unfortunate 'purp" just for
ward of the hind quarters, to the inf |
mite disgust of the Indian, who picked |
up the disjointed halves threw his |
blanket over his shoulders with indie
scribable dignity, and exclaimed in |
gutteral accents: ugh! -! cut 'um
too short. "-OrcrIdRd Monthly.

COLORADO.
Some More Of the Beauties of tHe
Great West.

We recently gave an account Of the
visit of Mr.. NJ. Schorn to Colorado and
the very urfavoTable impression he
received of the country from the view
he had of it. Though the account was
not very encouraging to those who
have been thinking of leaving old Vir
ginia, with view to finding home
in that particular portion of the
"(ireat West" we are satisfied it was
not at all ovcrdrawn. In corrobOra-
ton of Mr.. SehOrn's statement we
have been shown letter received
few days ago by gentlemen in this
place from his brother in Arizona, da-
ted May 5th lust. The writer has
travelled good deal through Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Colorado and A riZona. He
makes no mention of the former State
in the letter, but expresses his views i'll
reference to the three last named
We have been permitted TO extract
from it. He says: Now let me tell
you and all your friends, once for all,
never entertain the idea of going to
that country (COlorado.) 1t is one of
the meaneSt countries that sun ever
shOne on. There are, it is true, I'M
der the shelter of the mountains val
leys that will do for grazing stock, and
some seasons produce good crops,
But they are subject to frost any time
in the Summer, and terrific hail
storms. The rest of the country is
poor sandy plains and rolling hills,
scarce of water and destitute of tim
ber-visited i'm Summer by frightful
tOrnadoes, and in Winter by freezing
asts-affOrding nothing but little
pasturage grass peculiar and adapted
to that character ofland which will
produce no grain, no potatoes, and
none of the finer grasses. And this
constitutes much of the greatest por-
ton of the country. There is thrift

country taken as a whole is what |
have described it. | know of what |

have said of it is not dictated from
any selfish motive.
Oregon is much better country,
and Mr.--wiIl do well to go there
if he intends to make the pacific Coast
his home. There has never been a
failure of crops in the whole time it
has been settled, which is about TWEEN
ty-eight years. 1t, too, has its draw
backs. The winters are very wet,
chilly, long and disagreeable, and the
summers foggy but they raise plenty
of everything. The valleys are for the
most part without timber. the billy
land very heavily timbered, but con-
fined to about four varieties. The

The above differs very much from
the glowing pictures painted by the

would tempt well-tO-dO people here to
go West-even to ColoradO-for the
purpose of lettering their fortunes
But it has the advantage of coming
