How to Get Rid Of Gossips.

A poor woman, much given TO gos-
sip but anxious to soar to higher things,
is explaining to Miss Hopkins her
means for Kidding her house Of the Cos
sips of the neighborhood. In answer
to . remark of Miss Hopkins, that .'the
Bible tells us to be courteous, and that
to turn folks out of our house, however
much in the way they may be, is apt to
look rude," she replies: The first
thing l did was to get the brush and
dust-pan, and lay them handy 'gainst
any neighbor coined in. Soon in pops
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith, says 1,
you won't mind my doing a bit of
dustin, will you, while you're talkin'? !?
Of course she couldn't but be agreea-
BILE to that. So Down on my knees I
goes, and begins to dust with all my
might. But somehow, it was q very
curious thing, and the dust allus would
gather just under the chair my neigh
Dor was a-sittin' on. She'd shift and
shift, but I'd allus be arter her with my
old dust-pan; and the dust 'ud get up
her nose, and she'd begin to sneeze
ever so-ketcher! ketcher!-and soon
she'd say, well, 1 Ithink-ketcher-
call in another day, Mrs. Simpson, as
see you uare-ketcher!-busy.' And so,
in less than q week, had busted all
my neighbors out of my house.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Imagine the surprise of the M. C. when
he received % telegram, followed in due
time by letter from the merchant, say
ing he had no brother, and had not sent
any telegram about the $3.50. The
member related the affair recently,
saying he could not explain how the
swindler had 50 cleverly prepared the
forged telegram; that he must have
got hold Of q telegraphic blank;
"but," added the duped Con-
gresham, 81 must confess I did
not examine the telegram very
closely, 1 simply read the words it
contained. and, for ought know now
to the contrary, it may have been writ
ten upon one of the sending instead of
the receiving blanks of the Telegraph
Company" This was told in q group
of Congressman, and brought out sever
al similar accounts of tricks that had re-
Gently been resorted to-always by pre-
tending constituents-to dupe members
out of money. One member had been
caught for 800 by q forged cheek, an
other by letter purporting to come
from friend in the city, who wanted
S25 ''immediately," and so on. The
correspondence Of member of Con-
gress, too, entails q great deal of labor.
Letters from constituents must be an
swered promptly, and in order to do
this there is scarcely q member who is
not compelled to employ q secretary or
an amanuensis. Upon an average, it
takes three hours each day at least for
a member to read and reply to the let
ters he receives. The impression that
Congressman have nothing to do but
enjoy themselves is altogether wrong.
They have their troubles and annoyan-
ces as well as other people, and, upon
the whole, do not deserve half the. CEN

A Strange Relic.

Laurence Sterne moves our hearts
with his picture of the Captive" and
his pile Of little sticks on which he had
notched the count Of his dismal days in
prison, with q rusty nail. Here fol-
lows the story of q stranger and sadder
memorial of sorrow:
A striking instance of the arbitrary
state in which Scotland was held in
former times, both in public and pri-
vate affairs, is exhibited in the sad fate
of q wife of a. Lord of Session, whose
title was Lord Grange.
1t was suspected that the lady, by
some means or other, had got at the
knowledge of some State papers of in
finite consequence, and as poor women
are set down in the minds of all arbi-
trary men to be incapable of keeping q
secret, Grange and his son were de-
termined to secure the one contained
in the paper in question by putting it
out of the lady's power to divulge any
thing she knew of the matter.
To accomplish their design. the bus
band and son privately conveyed her to
the island of st. Kilda, there put her on
shore, and left her to shift for herself,
and sailed back again, without living
being having missed them, or sus-
pected what they had executed; nor
could the lady's place of concealment
be discovered by her friends, although
they made every effort in their power
to find out whittier they had conveyed
her, but to no purpose.
The island Of st. Kilda afforded no
implements for writing, and the lady's
history would never have been known
had she not soorked 1t on her muslin

A New South Carolina Method.

The Bourbons of South Carolina have
hit upon q new method of disfranchis-
ing the Republicans of that State.
Hitherto bulldozing and ballot-box
stufing have been the agencies used
for this purpose. The negroes have

United States troops SO much trouble

teen months. and saw him frequently.
When General Joseph r. West, of the
California Volunteers, in 1868 captured
Mangus Colorado (Red Sleeves) at the
Pine Alto Mines, and failed to make q
treaty of peace, he turned him over to
the guard at the camp, and the Chief
was killed the same night when trying
to escape. Victorio then became head
chief, and Salvador, son of Mangus,
second chief. These Indians are also
called the Miembres, or Lost River
Apaches, their rancherias being on the
headwaters of the Rio Miembres, or
Lost River, Southern New Mexico.
Their summer rendezvous is at q small
valley, with a small stream of water
called Mangus Spring, where they cul-
'tivate corn and beans, near the Pine
Alto range of mountains. The only
treaty of peace that was made with
them was at the copper mines, after
the death of Mangus. After receiving
blankets, -four. beans and other pres
ents, they broke their treaty of peace
the next day-they never would con-
sent to go on q reservation. Victorio
killed four men of Company G, of the
Fifth Regiment, California Volunteers,
and stole 800 head of sheep from us at
Fort Cummings. At Cooks Canyon
Victories band also ran of all the
horses of Company c of the First Vet
eran Calvary, California Volunteers,
and killed five or six of the cavalrymen.

Besides the money that is voluntarily
given away Congressman are frequent
ly made victims by pretended constit-
ueats. Not long ago very good-look-
ing man called upon member from
distant State and wanted to borrow
$3.50. The applicant for the loan rep
resented himself as q brother of lead
ing merchant in one of the principal
towns of the members district.
"Then," said the Congressman, .your
brother will certainly have no objection
to becoming security for you. I'm will
ing to advance any amount upon his
security" "But I'm SO far away"
pleaded the stranger. "You can tele-
graph to him." answered the member.
bring me line from him by tele-
graph, saying it's all right, and you
can get the money" 90, certainly, l
can do that" said the stranger, and he
Immediately departed. In few hours
he returned to the Capitol, calling out
the member. and showed him a tele-
gram purporting to have come from the
brother, who had been mentioned, and
pledging himself to be responsible for
the loan. The member led his pre-
tended constituent to the Sergeant-at-
Arms Office, and there gave him the
$3.50, for which due thanks for the ia
vor were returned, with the promise
that the money should be refunded.
The member thought nothing of the
the affair until, some days afterward,
he was writing to the merchant. In
his letter he mentioned the loan to
"your brother" and directed the
merchant to put the amount in
