Indian Sagacity.

A Spanish traveller met an indi

horseback. The Spaniard, fearing
that his horse, which was none O
The best, would not hold out to th'
end of his journey, asked the Indi
an, whose horse was young, strong
and spirited, to exchange with him
This the Indian refused. Th(
Spaniard, therefore, began quarre
with him. From words they pro
eeeded to blows. The aggressor
being well-armed, proved too pow
erful for the native. He seized his
horse, mounted him, and pursued
his Journey.
The Indian closely followed him
to the nearest town, and immedi.
ately went and complained to the
nearest judge. The Spaniard was
obliged to appear, and bring the
horse with him. He treated the
Indian as an impostor, affirming
that the horse was his property
that he had always had him in his
possession, and that he had raised
him from a colt.
There being no proof to the con
trary, the judge was about dismiss
ing the parties, when the Indian
cried out:
ssThe horse is mine, and I'll
prove it!'
He Immediately took off his man.
tie, and with it instantly covered
the head of the animal. Then he
thus addressed the judge:
"Since this man afirms that he
has raised this horse from colt,

The Spaniard, who would not
seem to hesitate, instantly an
swered:

Country girls are not whit behind

The most perfect features lose half

How a Person Lost His Valise

On Friday evening, as the Rev. DIR.
Paine, of Philadelphia, who has been
attending the Methodist Conference in
Brooklyn, was proceeding through
Washington avenue, he put down his
black valise in order to rest himself.
While looking in an opposite direction
young man of the "lOafer order" ap-
preached from behind the minister and
picking up the valise deliberately
walked of with it. The clergyman
turned toward the fellow in astonish-
ment, and as soon as he could recover
his wavering senses he pursued the vol
untary and unwelcomed porter whom
he accosted with, 81 say, my friend,
that is my valise you have in your
hand"
"Get OUT, tell yer" replied the
young loafer, 81 found this yer verlice
and | amt going to give it to you."
"But," replied the clergyman, shat

here, old man, | don't want no trouble
with you, but if you attempt to follow
me I'll punch you"
The clergyman followed at respect.

Not Well Posted.

Miss Anna Dickinson was about to
deliver her celebrated lecture on Joan
dare in small western town, and OF
course it.was considered necessary that
she. should be introduced to the audi
ence. The task fell upon the Chairman
of the Lecture Committee, a worthy in
dividual, but not very well versed in
the history or the language of the la
mented La Pucelle. "Ladies and gen.
tle," said he, advancing to the front of
the platform, "Miss Dickinson will ad-
dress you tonight ON the life and ad-
ventures of John Dark, one of the
greatest heroes Of antiquity. We are
not as familiar with the heroes of an
tiquity as we ought to be, owing to the
long time since antiquity; but one
thing is certain, and that is that Miss
Dickinson can tell us all about that
most remarkable man of them all, John
Dark" 1t is needless to say that many
of the audience were left in the dark
about the lecture until Miss Dickinson
commenced to speak.

A Terrible Affliction-A Wo-
man Deprived of Sight and
Speech

One of the saddest Affections that can
befall mankind is to be suddenly bereft
of speech and sight, and we have now
a case of that kind to record. The Car
lyle (Ill) Constitution says:
One night recently Mrs. David Wade,
who lives short distance west of Car
lyle, was taken suddenly with severe
pain in her head, and soon after became
speeehless. During the day she had
been working quite hard at scrubbing
and cleaning house, at which she be-
came very warm and tired, and in all
probability cooled off too suddenly af-
terward; but she retired at bed time,
apparently in good health. About mid
night she was seized with the pain
which resulted as stated. On the fol-
lowing day she was brought to Carlyle,
and DR.. Gordon performed an opera
tion which partially relieved her from
pain for a while, so that she could
speak, but soon after she again became
speechless, and has ever since remained
so. When first attacked her jaws were
locked, but that did not last long, and
now she can eat, and for the past week
or more she has sufferered no pain of
any consequence. Otherwise than the
sad atfliction mentioned, she is appar-
emily in good health.

"Well,I don't know. Ask the old

''Think we are going to have a

Again asked:

"It was.Gude.

The Rev. John Brown courted lady
upward of six years, and was so singu

said: "Jane, my woman, we've been
acquainted now for six years, an'-an'
I've never got kiss yet. Dye think

reply was characteristic of the Scottish
maiden. "Just as We like, JOHN" said
she, "only be becoming and proper

"we'll ask a blessin'." The blessing
was asked and the kiss exchanged. "Oh

devoted minister; "Oh, woman, but it
