A ParlOr Amusement.

Eyes, mouth, chin and nose all con-
tribute to indicate the character of their
owners, and now somebody finds that
the hair has a similar use. Straight,
lank, stringy-looking hair indicates
weakness and cowardice. Curly hair
denotes quick temper. Frizzly hair,
set ON ones head as if each individual
hair were ready to fight its neighbor,
denotes cOarseness. Black hair indi-
Gates personal courage, especially when
one is cornered, with a wonderful de-
gree of pertinacity and disposition to
hang on until whatever is undertaken
be accomplished. Also, strong pre-
disposition to revenge wrongs and in
suits, real or fancied. Brown hair de-
notes fondness for life, friendly dis
position, ambition, earnestness of pur-
pose, capacity for business, and RELIABLE
ity in friendship, in proportion as the
hair is fine. Very fine hair indicates an
even disposition, readiness to forgive,
with desire to add to the happiness of
others. Persons with fine hght-brown
or auburn hair, inclined to curl or friz,
are quick tempered, and are given to
resentment and revenge. Light brown
hair, inclined to redness, with freckled
skin, is a certain indication of deceit,
treachery, and a disposition to do some
thing mean by friend, when that friend
can no longer be used to advantage.
By remembering these items, quite an
amusing parlor game of fortune telling
may be instituted.

A Lively Cherokee Council.

We learn from Andrew Young, a Cher
okee just from Tahlequah, that on Tues
day last discussion arose about the
Ockmulgee Constitution, and the ap-
portioning of land In severalty among
the Cherokees. Sam Usage, a councillor
and full-blood Indian, opposed the
movement He was considered leader
in the party opposed to what is termed
the Boudinot policy. Turn Foreman
was in the council-house when the dis
cussion was going ON end took part in
it, and pulled out his pistol and shot
Sam Usage dead. Immediately after,
some unknown person shot Foreman,
who died that night.
There is another version of the above
affair, we learn from Col. Cravens, who
is just down from Fort Gibson. 1t APP
pears it was a made-up affair between
Sam Usage and Colson to kill Foreman.
While Foreman and Usage were talking
friendly, Colson shot him, and then
Usage turned upon him and shot Fore
man, who then pulled his pistol out and
killed Usage and also shot Colson.
Turn Foreman, Just before he died,
counted sixty-four men he had killed
during his lifetime. The junior of this
paper was well acquainted with him,
and knows of many bloody deeds he
committed. Foreman was between 80
and 81 years of age, a handsome-looking
man, and very pleasant in conversation |;
but when once aroused, was quickly
touched with bloodthirsty motives, and
always brought down his antagonist

The Criminal Code of japan.

One of the most benefcent achieve
ments of the present government OF
Japan has been the reform of the Grim
inal code and an official statement just
published shows, by means of a compar-
alive table, the degrees of punishment
attached to certain crimes under the old
and the new law. Some of these modi-
fcations are very curious, and the pen
alties themselves not less So For ex-
ample, under the old code, the wound
ing of the head of household by a
hired servant was punished by pillory
and crucifxion; now it is followed by
stranglng merely. Under the bloody
code of the tycoons, stealing ten gen
(ten dollars) or more was punishable
with death now the maximum of petty
theft is put at three hundred dollars,
and is punished by penal servitude for
life. The penalty for murder of a
parent by stratagem. under the old code,
WIS death by crucifxion, the unnatural
offspring being first exhibited through
the public streets with halter around
his neck now the parricide or matri-
eide is done to death by implement.
Punishment for the unchastity of priests
in committed to penal servitude for ten
years the guilty woman in the case, if
a spinster, is held innocent; if married,
she is condemned to one year of penal
servitude.

A Japanese Execution,

We have been favored by correspond
ent with the following account of a
Japanese execution " went to see an
execution at Yeddo, out of vile curl
osity. repented of it, but still it was
most extraordinary spectacle, and i'm
pressed me very much. The culprits
were eight in number, one being a woman.
They were all beheaded with sword.
The operation was performed with won
derful dexterity and GOODNESS, and not
one of them, even the woman, showed
the slightest symptom of fear. There
was space of ground roped off; inside
were three holes dug in the ground,
with a little mound behind each, on
which was spread a mat for the criminal
to kneel on. On one side of the inclos-
ure were two japanese officials. in chairs,
to see the thing properly conducted. L
had place directly in front of the
mounds, at about six feet distance. The
criminals were placed in row, on one
side of the inclosure, blindfolded with
pieces of paper (they use paper for
everything there What struck me
most was the horriu GOODNESS of the ex-
ecutioner's assistant, good-looking led
of about IS; be went up to each poor
wretch In his turn, gave him a tap on
the shoulder, led him up to the mound,
and made him kneel on the mat he
then stripped his shoulders, made him
stretch out his neck, said That will do,
and In a flash the mans head was In the
hole in front of him, and his bleeding
neck was, as it were, staring me in the
face. The assistant, still with the same
pleasant smile, picked the head up,
threw some water over the face to wash
off the blood and mud, and presented it
to the japanese officials, who nodded
and signed to go on with the next. The
assistant then gave the corpse a blow
between the shoulders to expelthe blood,
and finally threw the carcass aside like
a log OF wood. He then repeated the
same pleasant programme with the next.
l never thought mans head could
come off so easily it was like chopping
cabbages, only accompanied with pc
culiar and most horrid sound-that of
cutting meat, in fact. There was q
dense crowd of japanese present, in
Guiding many women, and even children.
These people never ceased to eat, smoke,
and chatter the whole time, making re-
marks on the performance, and even
occasionally laughing, just as if they
were at a theater. The executioner
poured water on his sword between'each
decapitation, as one vets q knife In
order to cut India-rubber.

USE OF Raw HIDE.-The skin of an
animal, whether COW, calf, colt, or horse,
that dies on the farm, is wortL more at
home than at the tanners. Cut it into
narrow strips, and shave off the hair
with a sharp knife before the kitchen
fire, or your workshop, on stormy days
and evenings. You may make them
soft by rubbing. A rawhide halter
strap an inch wide, will hold a horse
better, aid last longer than an inch
rope. 1t is stronger than hoop iron and
more durable, and may be used to hoop
dry casks and boxes, and for hinges.
Try it on broken thill, or any wood
work that has been split. Put it on
well, and nail fast. Thin skins make
the best bag strings in the world. A
rawhide rope is good substitute for
chain. 1t is valuable to mend broken
link in trace chain. For some pur-
poses it is best to use in its natural
state. For some purposes it may be
dressed soft.

A COlOred Millionaire.

Men whose taxes foot up from one to
ten thousand each year can get 2 per
cent. a month for it, or use it in even
more lucrative ways, while the interest
on their taxes is nothing in comparison.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
retained in this way.
nOtable'iHstance of this practice is
the case of colored millionaire who
has lodged paying his taxes until they
now amount to nearly $1,000 due to
the city and State. This man is char
scter for romance. He is SO abstem-
ious that he may be called miser. He
disdains rest, and with wonderful actiy-
ity works on in small and obscure one
story house, remote from the business
portions of the city. This building is
his Office and his home. 1t is dingy
and dilapidated on the outside. Within,
kind of lobby, partitioned off from the
main room, is the misers office. A
desk full of pigeon holes crammed with
papers, an iron safe and a chair or two,
constitute the only furniture. Beyond
are the rooms where he lives with his
mother, woman almost 100 years old.
Yet this man, so unpretentious in his
business surroundings, has nearly a
hundred tenements scattered all over
the city, which bring him anywhere
from 81, 200 to 50, 300 per month
He owes over $50 different properties,
estimated to be worth at least 500, 600,
besides bonds and cash to a large
amount. This man, however, never
pays any taxes, except when he disposes
of piece of property, and then only on
that property. In the Sheriff's Office
are tax-writs against him dating back
twelve years, and to some of them are
attached as much as six yards of FOOLS
cap, filled throughout with closely-writ-
ten descriptions of his properties. The
reason for avoiding his annual taxes is
speculative one. The city charges
him 10 per cent. interest on his money,
which he never loans except on mort
gage he can make from Is to "a per
cent. Every tenth year, also. the taxes
of one year are wiped out by proscrip-
tion.-NeW Orleans Times.

The Case of Undertook.

Undertook has been found guilty of
murder in the first degree, at West
Chester, Pa. After the rumors con-
corning the probable disagreement of
the jury, this verdict comes like sur
prise. The evidence was wholly cir
cumstancial; but it was cumulative,
and left but little doubt of the guilt of
the accused in the minds of those who
followed the details of this singular
case. The theory of the prosecution
was that Undertook and Goss, broth
ers-ni-law, entered into conspiracy to
defrau certain insurance Offices of
S25, 900, that being the gross amount of
policies on Goss's life. Goss's labora-
tory, prepared for the occasion, was
burned down, and body, charred be-
yond satisfactory recognition, was found
In the ruins. The insurance companies,
suspscting fraud, discovered that Goss
was alive and in hiding. While they
were on his trail, horrible murder was
discovered near Jennersville, Pa, and
