The Effect Of Poiiteness.

a brave, active, intelligent terrier, be-
longing to a lady friend, discovered a
monkey belonging to an itincrant organ
grinder seated upon the bank within the
grounds, and at once made dash for him.
The monky who was attired in jacket
and hat, awaited the onset with such IN
disturbed tranquility that the dog halted
within a few feet Of him to reconnoitre.
Both animals took long steady stare at
each other, put the dog was evidently re-
covering from his surprise, and about to
make spring for the intruder. At this
critical juncture the monkey, who had
remained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised
his paw ana gracefully saluted b rails
ing his hat. The effect was magical; the
dogs head and tail dropped, and he
sneaked off and entered the house, rcfus-
ing to leave it till he was satisfied that
his polite but mysterious guest had de-
parted. His whole deneanor showed
that he felt the monkey was something
''uncanny," and not 10 be meddled with.

Wust Boy"
BY NJ. QUAD.

AL the old women for blocks up and
down Sixth Street called him "the wust
boy" and Jim did much to win the title
and keep 1t. He fought every thing and
every body, hagassed cats and abused
dogs, and various attempts have been
made during the last year to get him
settled in the Reform School. The s:wust
boy has made 8 now departure, and
though it may no. be lasting, as it is for
the better, it will probably furnish oppor-
tunity tor some other boy to step in and
claim the unenviable title.
"'phe wust boy cared nothing for the
sight Of Grape on the knob, and funeral
procession was as good as a parade to
him. Surprise was, therefore, manifest
On every countenance when he softly
knocked at the door, the other week
and said:
~ hain't got no good clothes to 90 to
the funeral, but I'd like to see the old
lady's face agin afore she's covered up in
the ground"
A motherly old lady in his neighbor
hood had passed away. So far as the
public knew, he hated her, as he seemed
to hate all the rest, but the public didn't
know. II Jim had condescended to ex-
plain, he would have said:
"Well yer see, one night, when that
big Tom Skip laid fur me, and had me
as good as mashed, this ERE woman rushed
out and pulled him off, and slammed him
agin the fence till his elbows echoed
Then agin she left me play with the
children, and axed me into dinner, and
once she's took up fur me and
said the ns1ghbors didn't give me a fair
show"
They let him in to see her dead face,
half expecting to see some CHASTITY trick
on his part, and never dreaming that he
would lean over and kiss the cold cheek,
and that tears would come to his eyes.
"Where's the childran2" he asked, as he
turned from the coffin.

"There's a leetle bit of Teller 'mong

ing how earnest Jim was, one Of the
women replied:

How sweet in winter time we feign the spring
how fair by night we dream the day shall
be?
Can any April-tide such freshness bring,
Our eyes on any morn such brightness see?
Half heedlessty we hear the first bird sing,
Behold the first sh ,ots breaking on the tree;
cling
Prisoners to fancy, fearing to be free.
For like the crossing leaves, that day by day
Grow larger, till they weave the linden shade,
Our pleasures SO are woven to whole;
Not in the part we see how glad are they;
But after find ev'n fairer than we prayed;

Thick shadows creep like silent ghosts
About my head;

The moon comes stealing through the win

A silver sickle cleaning mid the stars.

Feel safe and strong

Big Frauds of an Indian Agent.

A startling series of frauds perpetrat-
ed by DR.. Livingston, Indian agent at
Crow Creek, Dakota, has just been
brought to light by visit there of In
dian Commissioner Hayt, now on tour
of the agencies. Livingston, during the
seven years of his administration, has,
with the aid of a ring he formed, made
himself rich, and he is interested in al
most every industry at Yankton, where
he has stood high. The money apprO-
priated for the agency since he took
charge of it amounts to $4,000, and
he has not only stolen good part OF
this but has feathered his nest by vari-
Gus sorts of cheating.
A hundred and fifty false vouchers,
ranging from $50 to $500, have al
ready been found, and they have not
all been unearthed yet. Rations and
annuities were drawn for 300 more In
dams than there were at the agency
two cattle ranches owned by Livingston
and his cOnfederates were supplied with
stock, ratiOns, ETC., from the Crow
Creek and Cheyenne agencies; hotel
conducted by them was supplied regu-
larly with beef, milk and potatoes from
the Crow Creek agency, and the en-
plOyes were forced to board there; the
agency blacksmith shop and material
were used for private gains; all their
private stock were fed at the govern
ment cribs whole bands of Indians had
their ratiODs cut off dozen times a
year for alleged offenses, and the ra-
lions were not accounted for to the
government; the government was
charged for hay and wood that had
been purchased, and then it was sold
to the steamboats,, military posts and
bull whackers; the crops raised on the
reservation were sold, and the proceeds
not accounted for. Indeed, there is
scarcely any device for swindling eth
er the Indians or the government that
was not rerorted to, and the mails
were violated to help carry out the
frauds. Livingston has reported a
large number of articles wanting at the
agency, which are found to be in good
supply but stolen and hidden away,
among them 1000 pounds of tobacco
and various sorts of implements.
Livingston is an EpiscOpalian and
began life as theological student. He
has been currying favor during his adj
ministration by giving fonts, stained
glass windows, etc, to churches.
