reminds me of story Of a lover who was
paying court to q beautiful young lady and
whose mind was not finally made up in his
favor The young lady, furthermore, had
a fierce cousin who was terrible fellow"
and who had forbidden any kind of in.
timacy between the young couple. This
fierce cousin entering the drswiDgroom of
the youDg lsdy's residence one fine morn
ing, suddenly thought he heard the pistol
like report of kiss. Without waiting to
inform himself on the subject the young
blood accosted the would be accepted lover
thus; did you kiss my cousin, sira' This
question brought the young lady and her
would be" TO their feet, the gentleman
with an ugly look in his eye, while the
young lady's cheeks flushed crimson.
did you kiss my cousin, sir g. repeated
the otfcious relative.
AS Napoleon would express it, the situa-
ton formed a supreme crisis in the fate
of the party addressed. He felt that this
was so. He knew that any attempt at ex-
PLANTATION would end in Lis disgrace and the
certain loss of the lady Faint heart
never won fair lady" he said 10 himself.
and, turning on his questioner, with spirit
as naughty and defiant as his own, replied:
That is a question, sir, for this lady and
not for you. When she so far dignihes me
by honoring me with her kiss will take it
aud hold il by royal right without answer
ing TO any other human being, if 10000
cousins opposed me-
Whereupon the young lady deliberately
advanced and took her cavaliers arm.
Now tie fne point in this story is, that
nothing like kiss had passed between the
lady and gentleman in question. On the
contrary she had just declined an offer OF
marriage: an offer which, IT ;s needless to
say, she did not decline when the man who
had proven himself to be true enough and
brave enough and gentleman enough to
protect her honor, as well as his own, re-
newed the offer. Lamars gsllantry and
courage must be met by pluck equal to
his own, or he will carry off the prize.
Depend upon it, the Republican party
must now face the music on Louisiana,
the negro, emar cipation and Southern re-
construction. Shall we, in this emergency,
act on the defensive or assume the aggres.
sivei II on the defensive, we are as good
as beaten. If on the aggressive, how shall
we advanced What is TO tie our counter
move, our reply to this bold blow in the
face7

Winter sports.

Now that the rigor of winter is beginning
to be felt, and lawns, arbors, and lakes and
walks must be deserted, and the young
folks collected around the family stove,
their thoughts will turn to toys, games, and
go forth, to while away the long evenings
and dull days.
I was talking with my young friend,
Johnny Phil, the newsboy, the other day.
He agreed with me that inventors had not
done their duty by the young, and that
there was no excitement or fun in boxes of
blocks, dancing jacks, picture books or toy
billiards.
"We wants novelty" said Johnny, as he
slowly picked cigar stump to pieces:
young folks gifts as tired OF old things as

day about the railroad slaughter; and it's

Mister Quad, if was to boiler one holer

My young friend has not the skill to man
ufacture new novelty, but he has lively
imagination: and, fishing up piece of red
chalk from his coat-tail pocket. he sat down
on the Hags, spit on the chalk, and re-
marked:
Now, Mister Quad, suppose this is
Teller in chair, and that is another Teller,
and that's girl, and that's a baby, and
that's the hired girl, and here's the old
teller. There they set, lookin' at each other,
big fire burnin' up, and all as dumb as
posts, cause they haven't got any new
games: The wind is a-howlin' outdoors,
snow BLOWN, and that family might be
happy if they went in for new things.'
He spit on the chalk again, moved around
little and continued:
well, suppose this ere boy goes on.

The following strange story, which is told
by the Wichita Beacon, is in regard u a
case somewhat similar to one which the
Times chronicled some time ago, with the
exception that the chief character was a
native Swede. This Swede was walking
around Fort Leavenworth one DAY, and
paid visit to the calaboose of the post,
where the Cheyenne captives, who were
afterward taken to Florida, were then con-
fined. To his establishment, he found that
be could understand perfectly everything
they said, although it was the fret time he
had ever heard the Indian language spoken.
He was afterward sent West, and is now
acting in the capacity of government in
terpreter. This is the Beacon's story:
"Andreas Eisinger, native of Switzer-
land, and lately of the Sixth United States
Cavalry, is now in Wichita, under orders to
report to department headquarters at Lea
wentworth. MIR. Eisinger is a young man of
about twenty-five years of age, born in Can.
ton Thurgau, and was educated ia the Gri-
son or Canton Graubunden, which lies in
the TyIolean Alps, on the Austrian frontier.
The inhabitants of this canton speak a
dialect termed Pomelus by the Germans,
and Rome-pa-va by the natives. 1t is
said to be the ancient Roman; it may
be corruption Of that language. How
ever, whatever it is, Eisipeer speaks it
readily. In the spring of 1873 he came to
cho Cuitcu oldtcs, enlisted IN the service,
and WAS sent to Fort bod &c. In October,
1871, he was with General Miles command,
which captured portion of the Cheyenne
band of Indians then on the warpath. One
of the parties captured consisted of three
warriors and sQuaw, who, supposing that
none of their captors understood their Ian.
guage, conversed freely with one another,
laying their plans to escape. Eisinger was
astonished to hear the aborigines speaking
a language familiar to his ears. the Rome
Pa-va: or old Roman dialect. Hereported
this discovery to his &C nmanding officer,
who investigated the matter, and found it
to be ss stated by the Swiss boy. He was
discharged from the army and appointed
interpreter. which position he now holds"
The identity of the tongue is not perfect,
but analogous to the broken talk of the
German speaking English. 1t is the same
with the Comanehe and Arapahoe dialects
Ii this is not merely q tale for marines
and we have no reason to doubt the honesty
or veracity OF the young mantle matter
is OF sufficient moment to engage the atten-
ton OF some linguistic savan. An identity
of the language would indicate an identity
OF origin.-Learen,corth Times.
