WANTS TO BE A GRANGER.-A
distinguished gentleman of this
city.--one of the gang who before the
late election declared that the Gran
GERS were dead BEATS Democratic
skunksn &C., was heard to murmur
the other day, as he wandered toward
his office, the following plaintive lay
"How doth the little busy pig
Improve each shining hour
And gather sausages all day
From every opening flower?
"And when the shades of twilight fall
He on his roost doth fly,
And sings his pretty evening hymn
Root, little pig, or die'"
the above we find in the Democrat of
this week. The latter part-that
which Mac. imagines is poetry-he
composed while on his way to Des
Moines last winter SO drunk he did
not know his own name, and had to
be helped on the cars. He had only
sense enough left to enable him to
realize that his condition and propen-
stiles were those common to other
members of the swine family whose
praises he was singing.

sarious case of accidental shooting
.,nnrred about two and one-half miles
eoom this place, on the Knoxville

a.med Zeeler, wNb live. with
i. mother-in-law "a widow lady

charging the children to let the revol
xsr alone, stating that it was load
ID After they had gone, one of the
children, a girl of about thirteen years
Of age, got the revolver and said she
wa. going to shoot; but before she got
ont of the house it went off, the ball
striking her sister, about eleven years
old, close under the right cheek bone.
After penetrating near two inches the
hall took a downward course, cutting
an opening into the throat, through
which it was thought for some time
she would bleed to death. 1t also cut
away part of the oszglottis, the bone to
which the tongue is attached, which
ns.sed into the throat and was thrown
Mat the mouth. No further traces
Of the ball could be found, nor could
It's location be determined.
DR.. CASTOR, OF this place, was called,
and rendered all possible professional
aid, but pronounces the case very
critical one.

was recently decided at Yonkers, New York. A
colored man brought suit against one Josephine
Lewis, the keeper of An ice-cream saloon, for
refusing to serve himself and friends, claiming
that she was compelled to do so under the act
referred to. The counsel for the plaintiff ar
gued that the defendants place of business
came within the meaning of q hotel or tavern;
while the defendants counsel commended that
the saloon in question was not a vehicle Of
common carriage, or . licensed theater or pub
lie place Of amusement, q common school or
institution Of learning, place for the inter-
ment of dead bodies, or q hotel or tavern, or In
any way coming within the construction of the
civil rights bill-s view of the matter supported
by Judge Baird, who dismissed the case.

WASHINGTON CITY:
The explanation is given of the late Brunot

The explanation is given of the late Brunot-
Grow treaty that at is simply an agreement en-
tered into by the commissioners appointed I'M
der q special act of Congress to obtain for pub
Lie use portion OF the lands which had been
but o short time before guaranteed to the Crows
by the United States" and that IL requires the
ratification of Congress before IL can become
binding. A better explanation would be that 1t
Is simply following thousands Of presidents
where the government has broken faith with
the Indians by granting them land and subse-
quently taking it from them. The lands Of the
Indians have frequently been forcible taken from
them, without any compensation, under the
plea OF "public necessity" and sometimes it
has been purchased" from q few irresponsible
chiefs for q trife, in the way Of t.inkets. In
either case it Is stealing Of the meanest de-
scription, and is on the same principle as that
upon which some of the old Dutch settlers of
New York, according to Knickerbocker, acted
in their dealings with the red men. In selling
any article to the Indians 1t was customary for
the Dutchman to place the article in one scale
and his hand lightly on the other. When the
scale containing the article went down, the In
dian was told he had q pound. In buying furs
from the red man the Dutchman varied the
process slightly. Instead Of his hand he placed
his foot, upon which rested almost the entire
weight Of his body, averaging say three hun
dred pounds,) and telling the Indian his foot
represented q pound, called upon him to pile
mp his goods on the other scale until an equi-
poise was obtained. So long as the Indians are
treated unfairly, so long will it cost the govern
ment millions every year to keep them in sub
lection.

The New York Commercial goes for the
plumbers Of New York. Now, we have nothing
to say for the New York plumbers. They are
doubtless repreheDsible set, and deserve all
they get; but we feel called upon to remark, in
behalf of the plumbers of Washington, that
there Is nothing the matter with them. II
there ever was a body of reliable, on-time,
promise good, up-to-the-mark set of men, it is
the plumbers OF Washington. One can rest
easy when he gets the promise of Washington
plumber. Exactly to the hour and minute the
work will be done. Yes, sir! And the builders
of Washington are just as prompt and reliable
as the plumbers-exactly. But this Is prolific
subject.
