A COLORED TOP.

MI Klein, of Tennt ssee, is bald,
headed. II tha hairs OF his head are
numbered, the process does not rise
to the dignity of enumeration. Mr..
Klein is very proud man, and his be-
reavement falls heavy upon him. But
his antipathy for wigs is stronger
than his pride; he won't wear them.
Yet he felt compelled to do some
thing to improve the appearance of his
skull; SO he painted it, laying on his
colors in rare profusion. Thus decor
ated, he went to church. The choir WAS
demoraized at taking bird 's-eye view
of variegated scalp. The demorilization
spread. The most important heads of
the sermon could not compete with Mr..
Klein's head in the matter of securing
and holding the attention of the congre-
cation. The general neglect Of the new
frescoed top-piece, still further increased
kleln's capacity as a disturbing element
And Klein was bounced, as the last ex-
pedient for restoring the normal condl.
ton of things. Sadly impressed with
the rarity of christian charity" he re-
solved to throw himself to the devil. To
this end lie went to the theater, selecting
q tragedy night, and seated himself in
the pit. Here his painted head exceeded
the drop-curtain in the variety and bril-
liancy OF its colors and in its power to
attract the attention OF the audience.
Klein 3 frescoed crown was the object on
which all eyes were focused. The litter
which went round the house increas I'd
to immoderate cachination and culmin-
ated in rlotouss proceedings. The trag-
edy became a farce, and the furious
tragedians had Klein arrested. He was
adjufged lunatic. Vainly he pro-
tested; be was confined among madmen.
And, at last accounts, what Klein wants
to know ia this: Whether there
is anything in the constitution or the
law to prevent man from painting his
head" Klein undoubted bas the con-
stitution and law on his side; but the
contest is unequal for all that. There is
no case on record where a man, though
backed by the constitution and the Law
successfully sported a painted scalp in
opposition to public sentiment $50 Wor.

AN AMERICAN PRINCE IN LONDON
Jesse r. Grant writes from London to q
friend in this country: "Of course you
have seen in the papers the gratifying
manner father has been received in En-
gland. 1t il rather nice thing to read
about, but when you have to go ont every
evening to dinner at some dukes or
earl g, and every afternoon at some lords,
it gets to be what you might call bore.
When one travels he wants to see the
country and study the manners and
habits of the middle classes, and not the
fashionable, which is the same oil the
world over. II is rather amusing the
way | am treated here. They consider
me q prince, and at all the dinner parties
sit ahead of all the noblemen; and the
walters say, win his excellency have

AN INDIAN BLACK STONE. Some
few months ago q paragraph appeared
in these columns containing short des-
cription of an aerollte which was then
and is still in the possession of the Rev.
DR.. Wood, OF thia city. Little was
known at the time about the history of
this curiosity further than that 1t had
been from time immenorial in the pos
session OF the Indians frequenting the
Saskatchewan Valley. 1t is doubtful
whether it will ever be known the exact
time this mysterious visitor reached the
earth, as the event is too long past to be
preserved in the memory of any one now
living. The following particulars, how
ever taken from letter addressed by
the Rev. John Mcleod, OF Morleyville,
to the Rev. DR.. Woods, can be relied on:
-"As to the meteoric stone, have not
met with any one who saw it fall, and
my impression is that this occurred pre-
vious to the memory of those now living.
The locality in which it was found and
from whence it was taken is about one
hundred and thirty miles southeast OF
Victoria, Saskatchewan, and near Battle
River. The native Indians looked upon
the Pe-wah- -bisb, or iron as they termed
it, as something supernatural, and as
such reverenced it. Parents made offer
ings at its shrine for the life and pros
perity of their little ones; travellers for
the success of their journey; war parties
to insure (if possibly victory over their
enemies and to aid in stealing horses.
They also laid their tobacco and other
stuff upon the altar. Great attractive
power was attributed to it for the bring
ing of the buffalo and the animals to the
vicinity; and as an evidence of this the
more superstitious now say that on ac-
count of its removal the buffalo have
entirely left that part of the country"

The Herald says it never opposed the
pardon Of Chartrand and on the whole
it believes the act was one eminently
wise and just. Still it takes occasion to
abuse Secretary Hand roundly for signing
the pardon. There is mysterious incon.
sistency mixed up with this assertion of the
Herald which none can understand except
ing those who have noticed that Mr.. Hand
is gaining considerable prominence as the
coming candidate of the republicans Of
Dakota for delegate to congress and that it
seems necessary for another aspirant
to attempt to break him down. By the ad-
mission of the Herald. the pardon Of Chart.
rand was mere pretext for giving publici-
ty to series Of untruths regarding Mr..
Hand, with the hope that he might thereby
be injured in the estimation of the people.
But the effort has fallen to the ground. The
people of Dakota never will Ike stock in
any such attack upon one whose years of
residence in their midst has given them the
most complete confidence in his integrity.

when the pardon was granted; and whereas,
Judge West came from North Carolina a
few months ago and afterwards went out
with Col. Grant to look up route to the
Black Hills and has since been appointed

HAYES SOUTHERN TALK.

President Hayes WIS rendered great re
ception at the city of Atalanta last Satur-
day reception fully in keeping with the
enthusiastic demonstrations which every
where greet him on southern soil. He
made them speech in which he told them
how heroically the confederate soldiers
fought in behalf of their convictions and
how he and all true men respected them for
the noble stand they made in defence of the
institution of slavery. Loyal men Of the re-
public have been taught, in the days of the
past, that the crime Of treason against ones
country was odious; but the great
teacher whom they have elevated to
the highest position in the land deals .
death blow to their cherished convictions
BY the open advancement of Q proposition
which places upon the same plane the men
who fought against the flag and the men
who fought to maintain it, In the world s
code there is distinction drawn between
those wao are guilty of heinous crimes and
those who obey the laws and assist in their
enforcement. One is the branded outcast
from society, and the ether respected citi.
zen of the state. So long az moral or legal
force stands as . preventive against iniquity
these principles must prevail, and when
they cease 10 stand the whole fabric
weakens toward lrretrievable ruin.
If it be not well accepted fact that treason
against the stale is odious, then treason will
assert itself whenever there is q prospect
that lis cause will prevail by violence or
bv the creation Of I false public sentiment.
And what Is the chief magistrate Of the ma.
ton doing for the future of his People: He
is aiding by his voice and the influence OF
his high position In establishing the opinion
At home and abroad that the rebels Of the
south we're fighting for as worthy cause
as were the union soldiers of the north. he
is giving them the aid and comfort for which
their rebellious souls are craving-the assur.
ance that their four years contest had within
it . worthy motive. There il no occ,sion
for the utterance of such sentiments The
people of the south would feel no animosity
towards President Hayes personally if he
failed to speak word about the pet cause
Of their1ection Of the country. He could
talk to them by the hour upon the subjects
Of finance, labor, agriculture, manufactures
and general political and commercial ad.
vancement without bringing upon himself ,
suspicion that he bas abandoned those prin
ciples of Loyalty and purity which were ths
boast of the party which placed him At ths
