A sprig of Genuine shamrock.

We are indebted to Mr.. John Holahan
for a sprig of genuine shamrock, just re-
ceiyed direct from Ireland. We dislike to
be considered proud, but when, on Tues
day next God willing, We parade the
streets of Nashville with a genuine three
leaf shamrock, native to the Isle of Saints,
while five hundred patriotic Irishmen are
wearing miserable limitations, we think We
may be pardoned for considering ourself at
least one among s'the favored few"

CAN Docs TALK I'm the Fallof 1861
my son, Sidney c., entered the Fed
eral army, leaving behind him two favor
ite dogs, both Of whom greatly lameuted
his absence. He was soon capturcd by
the enemy and held a prisoner until the
Spring Of 1862, when he was exchanged.
and on returning to his command came
past the old homestead in the country.
in Bollinger county, Missouri. Both the
dogs happened to be about 800 yards
from the house, barking up tree at a
squirrel. After some time, however, the
smaller one became tired and came to the
house, the larger one remaining ut the
tree. The little fellow came bounding
INTO the room whore his young master,
who had been SO long absent, was sitting,
recognized him and of course had quite IL
taking ON over him. The pleasure of
once more meeting his kind master was
too great to be enjoyed all alone so he
quickly turned his course in the direction
of his companion in the woods, and in
full speed made his way to the tree, and
communicated to the large dog the fact
OF his young masters arrival homo !;
when, in an instant, both the dogs were
making for the house with all theirmight,
the larger one, who had remained ut the
tree, taking the lead and not Stacking his
speed until he bounded into the room
where Sidney was. The strange part of
this story consists in the fact that the
small dog not only communicated to the
large one the fact that Sidney had come
home, but in some way told him the iden.
teal room in which he would find him,
as he ran round the house and in at the
very door where Sidney was sitting,
without ever halting or even turning his
head toward several other doors which he
had to pass in making the circuit.-St.
Louis Giobe.

An INDIAN OUTCAsT,-A tall, athletic
squaw, six feet in hight, straight rs Il line
and often walking with lerocioua strides,
says the Virginia City Chr0Htcie, may
be seen about the streets almost any day,
always alone and Stunned by other In
dians. This apparent squaw is an Indian
man, sentenced to wear woman's habila-
mcnts for the rest Of his natural life. He
will not converse upon the subject Of his
degradation with white man, and the
other Indians give different accounts Of
the matter. Some say that he was COW
ardly and showed a woman's heart in
battle, and was consigned to death but,
as a greater punishment, his sentence was
altered into the more terrible one of asso-
ciating with women only, to be pointed
at with the finger Of scorn as hong as he
lived. Certain it is that male Indians
shun him on all occasions. lie has been
seen to speak with Indian boys, and even
they repulsed his friendly advances with
contempt, and almost with ferocity. He
wanders about like a lost sheep--a Pariah
without friends or bearing
upon bis very face and showing in his
movements sense Of dishonor, from
which only death can relieve him.

AN UNrLEAsANr STATE or AFrAIEs.
1t is not a particularly pleasant thing
| to he a foreigner in Jopnn, notwihstana
| ing, or perhaps because Of the great po
itcal and social reforms wl'ch have
been introduced there. The German
Consul at lIakodadi was recently cut to
pieces by a native who had no PERSONAL
feeling whatever against him, bat had
dreamed that ninc-loot god ord red him
to -lay all the foreigners he could find,
and who consequently went to Worl, up
on the first one he encountered, with an
energy and perseverance worthy Of bet
ter cause. 1t is obvious that there can be
no security for human life So long as
Japanese fanatics are liable to De visited
by sanguinary nino-foot gods in their
dreams, unless the govcrnmen will rem
der fanaticism harmless by dlarmiug
them. A man who believes that for
cignels are dadthcm0, and WHO at the
same time carries about hi, per lu two or
more gigantic swords, sharp q, razors,
and with their handles Away in sug
gestiye proximity to his face, iycry apt
to be carried away by his feelings some
day, and make mincemeat Of some Of the
imagined foes of his country. And the
worst Of it is that no Government proc
lamation can prevent the people from
dreaming, while no considerati.a Of per-
sonal safety will hinder them from car
rying out what they deem to be super
natural commands. Altogethc it would
seem that Japan must be a particularly
pleasant place for foreigners to omigroto
from. Sacramento Record.

n CnINEsE CLAlMANr.-Hi History tell,
us that one day during the reign Of the
Chinese Emperor Woo gcntemanly
young man, dressed in Imperial yellow
and seated in Il sedan chair covered with
the same material, presented himself at
the gate of the capital and, in reply to
the questions of the officer on guard, an
nounccd himself to be the eldest son Of
the late Emperor, whose death had been
publicly proclaimed and bewailed some
years before. The news Of the ilustrious
stranger spread like wild fire through the
city, and the maudarins FASTENED to seek
an audience that they might offer their
allegiance to their rightlul sovereign
One Of their number, however, more
astute than the rest, tool, with him pair
of handouts and detachment OF police,
and on entering the pseudo Imperial
presence walked straight up to the gen
tlemanly young man and, instead Of join
ing in the general ltotow, fastened the
manacles on his wrists and handed him
over to his followers. His next proceed
ing was to introduce him to the torture
chamber in his Namun, and there, we
are told, the sight OF the various instru-
ments hanging rom the wall produced a
visible effect on the claimant, who, after
some slight hesitation, acknowledged that
far from having any Fightto the Imperial
yellow, he was the son Of poor parents,
and that he had been induced to person
ate the lost heir-apperent by reason Of
the strong likeness which he bore to him.
This confession was duly reported to the
Emperor Woo, who after careful consid-
Grafton ordered the adventurous young
man to be cut into ten thousand pieces
