And will find the pink to dress her.

And will and the green to dress her.

Our Jack.


Our Jack was a Marmoset monkey,
thought you might like to hear of his
doings, although they were much fun
nier to see than to hear about. Jack was
partly black and partly white, looking as
if he were dressed in black coat and a
white shirt bosom, while the tuft on his
head was like a little cap, and he had
white side-whiskers, with an otherwise
clean face. You can imagine how like a
comical little old man he must have
looked When he first arrived we all
stood at safe distance from him, al
though our papa held him by chain ;
aud Jack seemed to know that we were
a little afraid of him, so gave a quiet
chuckle of satisfaction, while his face
seemed to say, "Why, am as innocent
as lamb" But he was rogue, after
all, as we shall see.
We found very soon that his chain did
not keep him from mischief, so we put
him in large parrot-cage we had, made
OF wire and very strong; but this was
not effective, for one day when out on
the piazza he managed to tumble the
cage over, and rolling it along he got
hold of habit-skirt our elder sister had
put there to air after riding, and pulling
it into his cage he deliberately tore up q
whole breadth. The next feat he accom-
piished was down the cellar stairs and
| he gave such cries of distress that the
servants ran to help him, but found him
sitting bolt upright quietly biting his
nails, as was his custom after calling
some one to him with notes of dis
tress when he felt lonely. We afterward
put the cage into large box SO he
couldn't roll it over. We often took him
out and played with him, and showed
him picture-books just to see how he
would take notice of the pictures, pick
ing at them with his fingers, which looked
as if he had on little black kid gloves.
He never noticed the print.
| There was little girl in the house
who was always afraid of Jack, although
she knew he would not hurt her. Jack
seemed to know all about this, and one
day when she was alone In the nursery
he started up stairs without the know
edge of the servant, who had been play
ing with him and was very fond of him,
and appeared at the nursery door on all
fours, with his usual little chuckle as il
about to do very funny thing. As
soon as the little girl noticed him, and
called loudly for the servant in her fear,
Jack got up on his hind legs and came
dancing toward her so as to brighten bel
more. But as soon as the servant APP
peared Jack stopped short and began tc
bite his nails, looking as innocent as
usual, and allowed himself in very
meek way to be led down stairs. He
never hurt any one all the time we hat
him. But he played the rogue with the
cat. They were very good friends, ant
yet while Jack would be gently strokine
the pussy's back he would grasp hand
full of hair and pull out some, and run
ming off would proceed to bite his nails
and look up innocently at the person whc
scolded him.
could tell you good many thing
about our Jack which are Just as tru,
and curious as these, but I don't be

point of his arrow, drew a mark directly
across the ons drawn by the new conner,
who, seeing the mark, turned and with
the fieetness of deer sped quickly out
OF sight. l inquired of the boys the
meaning of all this. and was told
that this was strange boy who
had, with his father, lately been
adopted into the tribe, but that he was a
very great coward and thief. This was
the first time he had made any advances
toward a friendly intercourse with
them. The line which he drew on the
ground was an intimation that he was
friendly toward them and, if they had
been willing to become friends, they
would have drawn line parallel with
his. But they did not like him, and to
let him know that they were enemies
drew their line across his, which ac-
counted for his sudden exit.
We completed the division of the
beads, after which tried to teach them
the game of ack stones. They were
to enjoy it particularly. 1t evidently
savcred too much of civilization to suit
them. The true Indian nature was al
ready developed in them. Or, perhaps,
it was born in them, for they seemed to
enjoy nothing so much as the giving of
pain. Something of this kind is intro
duced in all of their games, and the in
nocent amusements of the white chill.
dren appear to them very tame.
1 left them stringing their bows, pre-
paratory to an attack upon the chatter
ing squirrels and singing birds in the
ravine beyond. But the impression is
strong in my mind that all attempts to
civilize the Indians may be considered
as Herculean tasks, liable to result only
in failure.

DAN RI0E's SHOW.

The Old Han SAM On the Grand
Rounds.
Old Dan Riee's new show aud great
moral circus is in town at the landing.
on board the floating palace Damssl.
The boat stopped at our landing to take
on coal and provisions, and appearances
indicate that he has the finest establish.
ment that ever iosted down the river.
Dan is making his annual Southern tour
and will visit all his old points on the
Mississippi ard tributaries. Helooks as
youthful as in days OF yore, and has once
again donned the motley and will set the
audience in a roar with his "quibs,
quirks and wiles." Who would not give
a dollar to see old Dan Rice, as we used
to see him years sgo2 He is worthy Of
his old reputation, and has an i'm
proved herd of horses 10 that which
he had here last season, and which
latter herd he WAS robbed Of
through misplaced confidence, at q
time when fortune was within his reach.
His corps of equestrians, acrobats and
specially performers is said to be the
choice Of the profession, and their ap-
pearance indicates such. We asked old
Dan when he would show on the bluff.
"Neyerl neverl neverr' ard continued,

their confidence and esteem; but the
Memphis people seem to prefer and to

odd and peculiar in your whims and
ideas, and will be Old Dan Rice to the
last; id fact, you can't help it." Our
man shook the old man By the hand and
Old Dan bowed himself out with the or
of a Chesterfield. The old man leaves
this afternoon for down The river in
search of another fortune, and We hop,
he will secure it, and then when he is i,

Memphis and give a big exhibition Oh
