You would hardly expect to fnC
wit among the Indians, and yet they
are just as human as the rest Of us
and, in spite of their stoicism, indulge
in joke now and then which has a
flavor of its own During q banquet
which was given by the pale faces
to several red men, one of the Indians
took o spoonful of mustard, suppos
ing it to be some dellcacy. The tears
came to his eyes He could die with
out fiinching, but spoonful of mus.
tard was something which even bis
heroic soul could not endure, so be
weps profusely, even as a white man
does sometimes. The chief, who sat
opposite to him naturally asked him
why he cried. He naturally replied
that he was thinking CT his old father,
who died a horrible death. A few
minutes after, the chief himself fell
upon the mustard pot, and swallow
ed more than was necessary. The
tears came into his eyes, too. A
Thousand tomahawks were nothing.
but the pungent quality of the mus
tard made him weep like child.
"And why do you cry? asked the
frs. victim, with savage delight in
bis tones.
"Weli," was the quick retort, Il
am crying because you were not
killed when your father was"

Two'Tons OF silver Per Week.

There are five establishments in
the United States where the smelt.
ing and refining of silver bearing
lead ores is carried on. One of the
most extensive if not the most ex.
tensive of the works is that of the
Pennsylvania Lead Company, Of
Pittsburgh, Pa. Here the base
bullion" of Leadville and of Utah is
brought to meet the cheap coke and
coal of Pennsylvania and though the
freight per car averages $500, tie
business has grown to great proper
tions. President Schwartz of the
above company, gives figures show.
ing that 60 per cent. of the base
bullion" output of Leadville is ship.
ped to the Pittsburgh refining works,
besides IS per cent. of the output OF
Utah lead mines. "Base bullion" is
the product of the ore smelters of the
mining regions, and bears about the
same relation to refined silver as pig
metal to refined steel. AT the Pitts
burgh refining establishment this
base bullion is converted into lead,
silver and gold The precious metals
End their way to New York, while
the lead is consumed by the makers
of white lead. The Utah ores are
the richest in gold, sometimes reach
ing 40 ounces per ton. OF silver
the Pennsylvania Lead Company
ships 1000 ounces per week, or two
tons, representing in value, at Sl-l4
per ounce, $4,000. This meta
leaves the works in pretty bars o
1000 ounces each.

when it came to elephants, he was
the boss, and the whiskey was got as

seen the barkeeper's eyes stand out

whiskey for two drinks. Betsy drank

only fond of getting drunk themselves
but they are very coDsiderate OF
drunken men. l never knew of an

That Long John, when he was stag

dared to go near them, and swing on
their tusks, and toss their trunks about

WHOLE NO. 1908,
selling Road Repairs.

Down in Chester county, they have
o queer way Of doing many things
and among those queer things is the
auctioning off the repairs of the town
ship roads. The other day the roads
in East Bradford township were sold
for three years and are to be kept in
perfect order during that time Three
years ago the entire public roads OF
the township brought So, $40, but on
Monday about S3,250 was realized.
or a gain over the last sale of S2 500.
1t appears that John Hildburn and
Aaron Davis were competitors for a
certain piece of road which, at the
sale three years ago, brought $40.
They commenced bidding az this con-
tract at the above figure, aud gradu-
ally come to nothing, when Mr.. Da-
Wis said he would give one cent for
the privilege of mending and keeping
it in repair for the next three years.
This stirred up Mr. Hildburn's met
tie, aud he said he would give 81,
and so the contestants crossed each
other alternately, until the contract
was knocked off to Mr.. Hildburn for
the sum of SO. The laugh comes
here, inasmuch as the lucky purehas-
er will be compelled to keep the road
in good repair for the next three
years and pay So year for the priv
ilege of doing so, and also pay bis
share of road tax in the bargain.
This mode of doing business is a
novel one, and the first of the kind
ever on record but what's the use,
mettle will tell.-Carlisle Mirror.

A Good story from Texas

General Thomas Harrison, who
was commander of Texas regiment
during the war, and known by the
bows az the "Jim Town Mayor
was soon after the war elected Judge
of one of the districts of Texas
Shortly after his election he visited
one of the counties in his district for
the purpose of holding his court
He arrived as the county town ON
Sunday evening and sent for the
Sheriff and asked him if a jury had
been summoned for the court and if
any upon the jury were colored.
The Sheriff replied tha. he bad
summoned a jury, but there were no
colored men ON the jury, and but
few in the county. Judge Harrison
told him that under recent order OF
the Department Commader, no legal
Jury could be impaneled unless one
or more negroes were on 1t, and
ordered him to have some negroes in
attendance on the following morn
ing, to be placed upon thejury. The
Sheriff, after some trouble, succeeded
in finding three or four negroes, and
upon organizing the court Judge
Harrison placed one on each jury.
About the first case called was one
against party for murder. After
hearing the evidence, and arguments
of counsel, and charge of the court,
the jury started down stairs to con-
slider their verdict, the colored juror
happening to be in the rear. Fol-
lowing was the defendants attorney,
At the head of the stairs (and in
hearing of the colored juror the at
torney was asked how he thought
the case would be decided. The re-
ply was, 'I think that the defendant
will be acquitted or the jury will be
hung"
The jury went down the steps and
out into the yard, and upon looking
around the colored member was miss
ing. Upon Investigation, they saw
him making 2:40 time in the direc-
ton of the brush. The Sheriff was
called and after vigorous pursuit,
Mr.. Juror was captured and brought
before the court and asked why he
ran away. His reply was, "He had
heard gentleman soy that if the
man wasn't cleared the jury would
be hung, and as he hadn't done moth
ing, he didn't want to take auy
chances.

The Great Csnundrum.
WHO STRUCK BILLY PATTERSON ?

Many persons have heard the 4ues-
tio1, "Who struck Billy Patterson ?'
without knowing the origin of it. 1
propose to enlighten them little on
the subject. William Patterson was
very wealthy tradesman or mer-
chant of Baltimore, in the State of
Maryland In the early days Of
Franklin county he bought up great
many { 2css or laru fu tne county,
and spsnt good portion of his time
in looking after his interests there.
He was said to be as strong as bear
and as brave az lion, but like all
brave men he was lover of peace,
and, indeed, q good, pious man.
Nevertheless, his wrath could be ex-
cited to fighting pitch. On one oc-
casion be attended public gathering
in the lower part of Franklin county,
at some district court ground. Dur
ing the day two opposing bullies and
their friends raised row, and a gen.
eral fight was the consequence At
the beginning of the affray, and be-
fore the fighting began, Billy Patter-
son ran into the crowd to pursuade
them not to fight, but TO make peace
and be friends. But his efforts for
peace were unsvailing, and while
making them some of the crowd in
tie general melee struck Billy Patter-
soa a severe blow from behind.
Billy at once became fighting mad,
and cried out at the top of his voice,
"Who struck Billy Patterson ?" No
one could or would tell him who
was the guilty party. He then pro-
posed to give any man SI0O who
would tell MIN who struck Billy
Patterson" From $l00 be rose to
81, 900; but not 81 900 would induce
any man to tell him "who struck
Billy Patterson" And afterward, in
his will he related the above facts,
and bequeathed 81 200 TO be paid by
his executors to the man who would
tell "who struck Billy Patterson.
His will is recorded in the ordinary's
office at Gainesville, Franklin county,
Ga, and any one curious about the
matter can there find it and verify the
preceding statements CGrResuiHe
