An Iowa Boys Idea of Confession.

who is good man, endeavoring to train
up his children in the way they should
go, and as his flock is numerous and
two of them are boys, he has anything
but sinecure in this training business.
Only day or two ago, the elder of these
male olive branches, who has lived
about fourteen wicked years, enticed
his young brother who has only had
ten years experience in boyish deviltry,
to go out on the river in boat, a
species of pastime which their father
had many time forbidden, and had
even gone so far as to enforce his veto
with a skate strap, applied some
what higher on the boys anatomy than
skate straps are intended to be worn.
But the boys went this time, trusting
to luck to conceal their depravity from
the knowledge of their pa, and in due
time they returned, and walked around
the house, the two most innocent look
ing boys in Burlington. They separated
for few moments, and at the expira-
ton of that time the elder was sudden
ly confronted by his father, who re-
quested a private interview in the usual
place, and the pair adjourned to the
woodshed, where, after brief but
highly spirited performance in which
the boy appeared most successfully as
heavy villain" and his father took his
favorite role of ''irst old man." the
curtain went down and the boy consid-
erably mystifed sought his brother.
"John, he said, "who do you sup
pose told dad? Have you been licked
YETI"
Johns face will not look more peace
full and resigned when it is in his coffin
than it did when he replied:
"No, have you?"
"Haye /? Come down to the cow
yard and look at my back ?"
John declined but said:
6 Well, Bill, I'll tell you how father
found us out. I am tired of acting in
this way, and l amt agoing to run
away and come home and lie about it
any more. I'm going to do better after
this, and SO when [ saw father I couldn't
help it, and went right to him and con-
fessed."
Bill was touched at this manly action
on the part of his younger brother.
It found atender place in the bad boys
heart, and he was visibly affected by it.
But he asked
"How did it happen the old man
didn't lick you ?"
Well, said the penitent young re-
former, "you see L didn't confess on
myself, I only confessed on you that
was the way of it.
A strange cold light glittered in Bills
eye.
"Only confessed on me ?" he said.
/" Well, that's all right, but come down
behind the cow-shed and look at my
back"
And when they got there do you sup
pose John saw the first mite of Bills
back /? All no, dear children, he saw
nothing bigger than Bills fists, and be-
fore he got out of that locality he was
the worst pounded John that ever con-
fessed on any body. Thus it is that
our coming reformers are made and

Washington.


A Washington dispatch states that the At
torney-General is in daily receipt of letters
from the Southern States complaining of the
unsettled condition of affairs in Arkansas,
Texas, Florida Mississippi, Louisiana and
South Carolina The negroes on one side,
complain of their treatment by the whites.
The whites, on the other hand, are dissatis-
fed with the conduct Of the negroes, and say
that they are completely organized through
out the South, and are liable to break out in
armed oppression to the whites at any hour.
Both whites and blacks appeal to the Presi-
dent in the most earnest terms for protection
from each other.
Secretary Fish declares that the story of the
proposed cession of Porto Rico to Germany
is without foundation, and that the alleged
dispatches are forgeries.
The Commissioner OF the General Land
| Office has directed that.regulations respecting
the final proof of homestead settlement in the
grasshopper region of Iowa and Minnesota
will be so modified as to permit settlers to go
before their County Court to make their de-
| positions instead of before the local land off
Ger. This order is made on the representations
Of reliable parties that many settlers can i'll
afford the expense Of long journey, especi-
ally in their present impoverished condition.
