How A PARENT PLAYS INDIAN
AND GETS THE WoRsT OF IT.-A
New Yorker is very much annoy
cd because his two boys have read
so many Indian stories that they
have gone wild with anxiety to
play Indian, to 60 out on the prai-
ric hunting for the real noble red
men. The man was taking q nap
after dinner in his easy chair,
when he was awakened by an
alarming noise and & strange
sensation in his head. lie jump
cd up suddenly and found that
one Of his boys, dressed in q red
table cloth. and his face decorated
with blue paint, was trying to
scalp his father with Z carving
knife, while the other boy, attircd
in blanket shawl and a rooster
feather, fiourishcd q hatchet and
emitted war whoops from behind
= chair and q card table. The
man decided TO put q stop to this
kind of thing. So next day, while
the boys were playing with bows
and arrows in the garden, he
dressed himself in an Indian cos
tune, and jumped over the fence
with wild,unearthly yell, for the
purpose Of frightening those chill
drcn. The oldest boy, howeve:
stood his ground. and drawing an
arrow to the head, IN which was
inserted tenpenny nail, he bu-
ricd it in the chieftain's leg before
he took flight. That night the
father walked up stairs on a crutch
and fogged the family all around
before he sent them to bed. He is
thinking now Of some other way
to effect a cure Of the sanguinary
disposition of his offspring.-Cin-
cinnat Gazette.

THE CoTY0y TAX DECLARED UN-
CONsTITUTiONAL.-Thc Atlanta Her.
ald is in receipt Of information that
the United States Court Of Claims
has decided that the cotton tax law:
under Which some eighty-cight mil
lions of dollars were collected was un-
constitutional. 1t appears that Mr..
Berg. Instead Of petitioning Congress
to refund the tax paid by him, brought
suit in the Court Of Claims for its re-
covery, and employed eminent council,
among whom was the present Orli-
nary Of Chatham county in that State.
This gentleman a few days ago re-
ceivcd private letter which announc-
cd that the Court was against the con-
stitutionality Of the law. but its de-
ciSions has not yet, We believe, been
officially promulgated. To very
large number Of our readers this iutcl-
lieencc will be most gratifying, as it
will enable them to recover the mon
cy illegally wrung from them at 4
time when they were most in need Of

Mis1rIIa
THE STUDENTS TRICK.

A young man Of eighteen or
twenty, a student in university,
took walk one day with q pro-
fessor; who was commonly called
the students friend such was his
kindness TO the young men whom
it was his Office to instruct. While
they were walking together, and
the professor was seeking to lead
the conversation to grave subj
they saw q pair Of old shoes
laying in the path, which they
supposed belonged to poor man
who was at work close by, and
who had nearly finished his days
work.
Theyoung student turned to the
professor saying, 'Let US play
the man a trick we will hide his
shoes and conceal ourselves behind
those bushes, and watch TO sec his
perplexity when he cannot find
them"
"My dear FRIEND" answered the
professor, "we must never amuse
ourselves at the expense Of the
poor. But you are rich and you
may give yourself q much great
er pleasure. Put q dollar into
each shoe and then we shall hide
ourselves"
The student did so, and then
placed himself with the professor
behind the bushes close by through
which they could easily watch
the laborcr, and see whatever
wonder or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his
work and went across the field to
the path where he had left his
coat and shoes. While he put on
his coat he slipped one foot into
one of his shoes, but feeling some.
thing hard be stopped down and
found q dollar. Astonishment
and wonder were seen upon his
countcnance; he looked upon the
dollar, turned around and looked
again and again; then he looked
around on all sides but could see
no one. Now he put the money
in his pocket and proceeded to put
on the other shoe, but how great
was his astonishment when he
found the other dollar! His feel
ings over came him, he fell upon
his knees, looked up to heaven
and uttered aloud a fervent thanks
giving, in which he spoke Of his
wife, sick, helpless, and his chill
drcn without bread, whom this
timely bounty, from some unknown
hand, would save from pcrishing.
The young man stood there deep
ly affected and tears filed eyes.
Now" said the professor "are
you not much better pleased than
you had played your intended
trick ?"
80 dearest, sir" answered the
youth, "you have taught me a les
son that l will never forget. l
feel now the words which | never
before understood: at is better to
give than receive.

He turned the open face Of the
locket to the light.
It revealed 4, curious face-an
aquiline nose, IN artists eye, the
mouth ola ravening animal, halt
concealed by a beard of silk. John
Steele looked at it long and earn
estly. "Poor Bert! He'll do bet
ter, now that he is out Of the

He had always been the friend
of his old schoolmate, discerning
the delicate soul enthralled by the

cence.
