The Authropological and Arcbao-
logical Institute, Of Maysville, Ky,
although 10 the third year of its use
~fuIness, boasts Of a membership of
only one person, but that individual
himself happens to be an antique OF

standard. Notwithstanding be has

down the shady slope of sixty, he is
as energetic and enthusiastic IN bis
researches into the mystery of the

ness of his FIRST life.
A Maysville correspondent of the
Courier Journal, tells how this old
relic bunter obtains specimens. One
day q small boy brought him a finely
shaped arrow head, eight inches in
length.

cent specimen, bot, recovering bis
presence of mind in an instant, be
eyed the boy sternly.
"And what do yod mean, you i'm

The boy replied in a trembling
tone, that "be thought il was an ar.
row head, aud be heard be bought
such things"
"You did, eh-and you supposed
Id buy such a thing as that, did
you? Why, its nothing but quartz
The boy said with a wbimper, "he
was sorry, but be didn't mean nc
ofense."
'Lemme see il again." said the
old gentleman. The gracious Pc
why, it amt even quartz"
The boy began crying, and dig
ging his dirty knuckles, into bis eyes

take, and was awful sorry for it, bur
he would know better next time"

"Lemme look at it once more. Thl

The boy gave a yell of terror, and
darling out of the door, sped up th'
street as fast as bis legs would carry
him
The door was quickly closed, anC
the old gentleman began to dance the
c~sn-can in q wildly excited manner
He went at it vigorously, up the side
and down the middle, until, fairly
exhausted by his efforts, be stood OF
his head, and executing a tremolo il
an artistic style with his left leg, b.

his clothes, lie started up street.
An hour or two afterwards be
might have been seen at Ratterman':
drug store, opening a box carefully
taking out half q pound of raw cot
ton, and exhibiting to a medical
friend a magnificent variegated flint
arrow head, with the remark that
"he wouldn't take a thousand dollars
for that flint, as a little boy, q 81

"Uncle Coleman joined Frank on

nephew's, said kindly:

IF there is any person on earth who
dearly loves a joke, it is V. Rose, Ex-
press Agent at Louisville, Ky.
Not long since Mr.. Rose felt it his
duty to send 4 present to an agent of
the company, not far from Louisville
"A present that would cause tho re
cepient to remember the generous
giver and cause the heart of one or
the othe, to overflow with gratitude.
Riding along one of the principal
streets one day, Mr.. Rose heard an
auctioneer just in the act Of selling a
diminutive 'jack-ass." OF all the
solemn looking "cusses" on the face
of the earth, that jack-ass could take
the premium.
He had a large head, that looked
like q chil>:"s coffin, q short tail, small
body, and slch "ears," and such q
voice! That voice once heard, was
not apt to be forgotten.
Mr.. Rose offered bid in fun, and
was dismayed to find the jack-ass
knocked down to him. Sadly he
took charge of him and sent him to
the stable-but on hearing the voice
of his pet, he at once resolved to
send Lin south.
Posting one Of the messengers, he
soon had notices inserted in the pa
per published in the city where he
proposed to send the jack ASS, and the
next morningthe papers had accounts
of 4 valuable animal, the onl one of
the kind existing, that had been OBJ
tanned by V. Rose, Esq, and was
presented to the agent at -. OF
course, the agent was in fever OF
excitement, and Bengal Tigers, White
Elephants, &c, crossed his fevered
brain.
Next morning a group of friends
and acquaintances we're ut the train
to see the wonderful animal. As the
| iack-ass was led out of the car. {;
broad grin settled on the faces OF the
spectators, while the agent was
speechless with "ass" tonishmcnt.--
The jack-ass was sent to the stable
and many were the enquiries made
and visits paid to the wonderful ami
NAL that day.
The agent first thought he could
easily sell him and then have a good
joke on Mr.. Rose, but a few days de
veloped the fact that no one wished
to buy him at any price. He thel
tried to give him away, but no ont
would take him. Here was dilem
ma. What was to be done? In

day Or two, the jack-ass began to

day or two, the jack-ass began to
serenade "and he lifted up his voice. .
and the neighbors heard and were
distressed; such a noise had not been
heard for years. In the stiffness OF
the night, that jack-ass would ho.lcr
The stable yard was filed every
night with broken chairs, bed-rails,
Stats and pieces of kindling wood
Mysterious loads of duck shot and
pistol cartridges were fired at the
shed where the jack-ass was ted
The night hostler lost his hearing,
and when that jack-ass commenced
to sing, could not be hired to go out
in the stable yard, for fear Of being
shot at or crippled by a missile,
hurled in the direction Of that horri-
bic noise.
An amateur singer who had a fine
tenor voice, occupied room over
the Express Office and near the stable.
He was in the habit OF singing gems
from the operas ut miluight, just be-
fore retiring. One night he was try
ing few bars from the opera Of
Martha. The jack-ass heard him, and
full of e"vy, thought he would try a
few favorite bars. The tenor singer
stopped and hurried to a back win
dow to see where that fearful noise
came from. He soon located it, the
jack-ass was in fine trim, and the
rat;ling OF the windows soon showed
that he was doing his level best
Sadly the tenor singer shut down the
window and made solemn VOW that
if a revolver could kill that jack, that
one should be obta ned before anotll-
er sunset, and that .jack-ass should
die.
The agent was in despair. Adjoining
the office was one Of the largest and
most fashionable churches in the city,
the parsonage of which was next to
the stable. A little boy who resided
there, came to the stable next day
and said he to the day hostler: ''Mis-
ter, I say, make that animal ho.ler.
My pa can't bear to hear him." and
the little ''fend" actually danced with
JOY when the jack-ass struck up one
of his melodies.
Next day was Sunday. The church
was crowded, the choir al in their
places, and the organist hal just
played beautiful prelude on the
organ, when the choir commenced Il
beautiful anthem. The jack-ass took
it into his head that it was Sunday,
and he ought to help. He did help
with vengeance. Not much of the
anthem was heard, but a good deal
of the jack-aSs was. The audience
was shocked, the choir indignant, the
organist enraged. The minister fin
ishcd his sermon and was thankful
that the iack-ass had quieted down,
so he commenced the closing prayer
when "Oh, horror" the jack-2ss
started louder than before. The
prayer could scarce be heard. Hand
kerchiets went up hastily to devout
faces and smiles were hidden by de-
vout hands. The minister grew red
in the face, and fairly shouted to be
heard, and bravely kept on to the
end. He would willing have offered
up that jack-ass as a peace offering
and applied the sacriticial knife him
self with pleasure.
Next morning a quiet looking
darkey came to the stable and bought
the jack, and quiet once more pre-
vailed.

An Indian Legend.

The following is told Of a beautiful
sheet of water known as the Spirit
Lake, in Central Wisconsin,: Many
wears AGO, ere the foot OF the pale
face had trod the sod which the red
man claimed rs his own, many tribes
dwclt near this lake: for i'll this lake
were fish, and among the bluffs and
in the neighboring forest were game;
while the warrior, when tired of the
chase, could seek pleasure and find
it, bathing in the clear, bright waters,
which he only, under the Great Spirit,
claimed, and with his light canoe
could take his love out boating. In
deed, it seemed to the happy red man
a paradise, rs well il might.
AS fortune would have it, a French
man, more daring than his fellows,
wandered from the settlement and
found the lake; he indulged with the
Indians in the pleasure and dlsap-
pointment of the chase, and fingered
long among them. When first he
came among the red men, he was
charmed with the beauty and lowell
ne. of an Indian maiden, and made
love to her.
She loved in return, and all went
on merrily; and when the autumn
leaves began to fall and the tea;hered
songsters 70 fly away t.. southern
home, the French hunter sought IN
interview with the aged chief, her
father, to ask his consent to the hoped
for marriage.
But ut the sane time young war
rior, who had long looked with jeal-
Gus eyes upon the Frenchnan, and
had often in vain sought to win the
affections of the fair maiden OF his
tribe, came to the old chief and asked
for his daughters hand. The chief
tain, disdaining partiality to the war
rior on account of the fact that he
was one of his tribe, stepped to the
bank of the lake with the two suitors,
and pointing to high and rugged
looking tree upon the opposite shore,
said:
"He Of you who shall first bring
me an eaglet from the nest in yonder
tree, shall be the successful sutor."
When the old chiettain ceased
speaking, the hunter and warrior
sprany into their light canoes, and
were across the lake in trice. The
warrior struck the shore first, hut the
hunter was the first to climb the cragi
and tree, and was descending with
the eaglet, when the taithless warrior
pushed him from limb Oh which he
stood, and the hunter was dashed IN
pieces on the ragged rocks below.
The Indian maiden, who had
watched with painful interest the diff
fcrent transaction proceeding, when
she saw her lover fall, leaped far out
into the lake with Il wild, piteons cry,
and sank into the clear waters never
to rise again. The superstitons red
men fancy that the spirit OF the de.
parted maiderf rules the storms, and
that it would be death for an Indian
to risk himself on the waters OF the
lake.

Such clever girl at school!

And you did the hardest fractions

So petite you were. and nice,
Neat and pretty and precise,
Rosy Dot;
When used to watch you cipher,
You thought that | could die for
On the spot!
How envied that old slate
That you clasped with mien sedate
To your breast!
Then | carried home your books,
Mid the frantic. furious looks
OF the rest.
Soon you passed with fine precision,
Out of short to long division
In your dresses.
When you left" what sad reaction
Followed on your sweet subtraction
No one gut sses.
Now we meet in long years after.
And your bright eyes twinkle laughter;
School is done.
One year welded: Happy lot!

And carry one!
