Is the Red-Man a HumOrist !

They had dispute III at Barham';
one day, over the assertion that the
North American Indian has no hu'
NOR. Moody said he'd investigate
the subject while OH his approaching
trip to Colorado, and would send home
an account of the result On his way
out there the party stopped one night
at a Sioux camp, and Moody thought
he would undertake his experiment
He led one of the chiefs aside, and
said TO him oonlidentially: why is
a lame dog like all inclined plane ?'
The chief retained a passive counte-
nance, and shook his head, and then
Moody said Because it's a slopup,"
and then Moody laughed vociferously
but the noble savage scowled and
went back to his supper of baked dog.
Moody tried that conundrum on
sixty-four braves, seventy squaws and
a papoose. without inducing smile.
and lie was about to abandon his the
ory, when he happened to remember
that the Sioux have not yet learned
the English language.
He felt then that perhaps some
thing in the nature of practical joke
would be more likely 10 develope the
aboriginal sense of fun; and he got
two candle boxes, out Of the wagons
and placed them on the ground few
feet apart. Then he spread blanket
over them and put bucket of water
between them. Then he sat on one
box and the driver of the mule team
on the other, and he invited Kicking
Horse, the head chief, to take seat
in the middle in the soft place. Just
as the Indian sat dow1, Moody and
the other man got up, and Kicking
! Horse went sousing into the bucket
Moody was surprised TO observe thai
the chieftsin did not laugh. On the
contrary, Kicking Horse arose with
great dignity. and approached Mr.
Moody. That gentleman thought
maybe he was coming to ask how the
thing was done, so that he could play
it upon some of his friends. Bu
Moody was mistaken. The chief tan
gled Mr.. Moody's hair among his fin
gers, whipped cut knife couple o
feet long, and snatched off Mr.. Moody:
scalp. Then he scalped the mule
driver, and tied them both of them OIL
the backs of mules and started
them across the country.
A week later Mr.. Moody eat dowr
at the hotel at Colorado Springs tc
write out his report. He had on al
oiled silk skull cap, held on by {
skate strap which was buck led under
his chin, And he looked very gloomy
He admitted in his report that the
North American Indian, so far from
being humorist, was serious enough
for an entire funeral procession, and
then he devoted the rest of the
document to an appeal to Congress tc
| declare war of eXtermination agains
the Sioux Indians.-MQE Adeler.

EgAs Mr.. GRosvENoR, of Athens, is

EgAs Mr.. GRosvENoR, of Athens, is
generally looked to by the Republicans of
this State as their champion in the Legis-
lature We have been paying little atten-
ton to him. We think we have found
outtwo or three things about him. He
is probably the best speech maker in that
body, which is not very extravagant
praise He usually makes his biggest
speeches in favor of some amendment
which neither he or anybody else wants
adopted He seems to be trying to show
how closely he can initiate Scorr of War
ren, and Scorr Of Warren seemed to re-
main on earth for no other purpose than
to show how disagreeable ii was possible
for man to make himself toward his as
sociates, whose politics differed from
his.
We find hv the Republican papers that
Mr.. GRosVgNoR has about dozen times
completely demolished 1.-THE other side of
the House. and wiped the Democratic
party off the face of the earth. This
however, will surprise nobody, as it has
been generally understood that GRosvE-

X, Il, Route 10 BeallSyilIe.

MIR EDITOR: A reconnaissance and
preliminary survey will shortly be made
between Woodsfeld and Beallsville, to
seek out the best and most practicable
route for narrow gauge railroad to
Bellaire. The route should be selected
that approaches the nearest to an air or
straight line, and for this purpose l
propose to give the farms and points
through which this line would pass.
Beginning at Woodsield it would
pass through the farms of P. Neuhart
joseph Schumacher, Barber quarter, B
NJ Belt, at mouth Of Death fork, S. l..
Mooney, l. Wisner, Peter Kuhn and
southeast part of John Huths farm, the
north east corner of John L. William
sons farm, J. Griffith, Baker, and north
west corner of Andrew Morris farm,
the south east corner H Harper and
through j S. Miller's farm to Bealls,
vile, distance on an air line 7 miles.
1t will be impossible to make d
straight road, but the road will have to
pass through certain places or points
called "ruling' or grading" points such
as valley of creek or run, low gap
in a range of hills DC. The nearer
those points are selected to the air line
the shorter will be the roads
From the great cost of the super
structure of railroad and the contin-
ually increasing expense of keeping it
in repair, it is economy to have it as
near straight and as short as possible.
AS the earth work of railroad costs
almost nothing for repairs while the
perishable superstructure is very great
it will be advantageous to make large
expenditures in the former in order 10
lessen the length of the road and con
sequently lessen the. cost in the latter.
Suppose the total cost of the road to
be $4,000 per mile, the interest of
which is $500, The annual repairs Of
supers,ructure and expence of rolling
stock per mile per annum $500. The
total annual expense will then be Sl100
which is the interest of SlS,334, which
sum might be profitably expended to
shorten the road one mile, or $500 to
shorten it one hundred yards. From
these considerations it will be seen how
important it is to select route with Q
view 10 its shortness. j B N.

We based the statement, which the

Of culored voters. OF course in so large
State it would be impossible there
should he no instance of refusal to en-

every State. Bat the evidence certainly
indicates no genera, intimidation of the
cclored voters, and that such intimidation
as did exist in the State, ,oas rather IN the

Difference in favor Of the

railroad townships, s3,S30,346
Showing that the wealth in the railroad
townships had increased nearly two and
half times as rapidly as in the other
townships. There is no reason to doubt
that this remarkable result is due almost
solely to the two railroads.
The people of Belmont County paid
We believe, less than quarter of mil
lion toward the construction Of these
roads, and they now have, at the least
FIVE millions as return for it
But it mus. also be borne in mind thai
the same roads have favorably affected
the value of the property in the ten as
well as the six townships. So that The
railroads may fairly be credited with full
five millions Of the increase. In the six
townships some lands enter into the esti
mate which are eight or nine miles from
any depot
Furthermore there is not the slightes
doubt that the value of property in thu
northern tier of townships in this county
has been materially enhanced by the c
