TOM ooH11rREE, OF TEXAS.

Persons travelling in the South after
the close of the Rebellion could see On
the telegraph posts on every route lead
ing into New Orleans and in all public
thoroughfares large signs-"Buy your
shirts Of Moody" $50 to Moody's to
get your Shirts" etc., etc.
One afternoon a stranger entered
the shirt store, and addressed Mr..
Moody:
81 have come for my shirts.
"Have you purchased shirts of us?"
''No, sir"
"Oh, you wish to purchaser
"No, sir. This morning I put on the
bed at the hotel some shirts to be
washed, and when I went to my room
after dinner, in place of my shirts i
found this notice on my bed" produc-
ing placard, "Go to Moody's and get
your shirts y, "and so I have come for
them"
"What is your name, sir?'
"Tom Ochiltree, Of Texas, and, after
asking his size and his room at the no
tel, Mr.. Moody said
every well, Mr.. Ochiltree, you will
fnd your shirts at your room," and al
once dispatched a dozen Of his best
shirts to carry out the joke.
As the "joke found its way into the
city papers, and was copied into all the
provincial papers as a good joke on SGT
o." perhaps Moody got value received
: in the way of advertising and T. 0. en-
ioyed the free shirts.

Among other things there were two or
three little cotton Observation-Disclosures,
printed with figures OF cats and dogs
and large A-B-C's, in bright red. They
had been sent to us children, but the
great Cherokee chief was so delighted
with them that my mother, grateful to
him for saving her from . great danger,
gave him two of them.
He took them in great glee from my
sisters hand, tied one on his streaming
black hair, and the other to the end OF
his rife-barrel, by one of its corners.
Then he paraded before the small look
ing-glass and admired himself until he
was tired.
Atlength he turned tony shrinking lit

makee Ma-shoon-tire fine! Ma-shoon-
tire makee little white papoose fine
Big much heap fine! And, taking
from his pouch long string of brilliant
beads, made of various colored glass, he
threw them over her neck, pleasing her
almost as much as the gay little handker-
chiefs had pleased him.
Then he went out to the bear and cut
the claws from one Of his fore paws, as
q trophy.
Having done this. he bounded upon
his pony and rode gayly away, his hand

STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS.

SALAMANCA has dog that will take u
nickel from the hand, carry it in his
mouth to o favorite bar-room, stand on
his hind legs, deposit the money on the
counter, and get glass Of beer.
A BEER-DRINKINa horse is one OF the
curiosities in Toronto. Ore day he
would not pass bar-room, but bolted
in, his rider being unable to hold him.
Horse and rider emptied a bucket Of
beer and departed.
A HoOK-AND-LADDER company in Phil
adelphia has horse named Peter. he

him, tells his age by paving on the
ground, and does many clever tricks,
He also chews tobacco and drinks beer.
PNcHER, dog, was lost just after a
travelling party left Leipzig. Ten days
after the party reached Berlin the dog
appeared, ragged and gaunt. The dis
lance from Leipzig to Berlin is about
100 miles. The dog had never been
over the road.
Fl. MILLS, of Binghamton, N. Y,
lost valuable piece Of wire last spring.
The winds recently blew down the limit
Of tree in his yard, and an orioles nest
was found suspended to it by the wire.
It was wrapped round and round the
limb as though a man had done it.
Two BULLDOGS wandered, two years
ago, from the ranch of Bratt &, Co., Ne.
braska, and joined pack of rowing
wolves. They never returned, and now
a species Of dog-wolf, infesting that Sec
ton, are more dreaded than the common
prairie wolf, being more bold and say

A MAINE farmer purchased a tricky
horse, and, thinking he could cure him,
he loaded his wagon with produce and

Of two dogs that had accompanied her.
The dogs saved her life by keeping hel

ONLY 4 PIN.
Vet IL calmly llv

Only pin; yet it calmly lay
On the tufted floor in tho light Of day
And it shone serenely fair and bright,
Rejecting back the MONDAY light.
Only q boy yet he saw that pin,
And his faco assumed q hendish gria:
Hestooped for awhile with look intent.
TN he and the pin alike were bent.
Only chair; but upon its seat
a well-bent pin found safe retreat:
Nor had the keenest eye discerned
That heayenward its pointwss turned
Only man; but he CHANGED to drop
Upon that chair, when fizz-bang-popi
He leaped like cork from out n bottle,
And opened wide his valys-de-throttie.
Only yell; though an honest ono.
1t lacked the element of fun;
And boy and man, and pin and char.
In wild confusion mingled there.

A GENTLEMAN well known in Hartford,
Ct, and the proprietor of one Of the
largest gin distilleries in neighboring
town, went into the Office of the United
States Internal Revenue Collector to
procure some stamps to the amount Of
nearly 800. The clerk was making out
the required papers when an assistant
depstep up, and, seeing the distiller's
check upon the counter, inquired what
it was for. The clerk replied that it
was to pay for the stamps he was about
delivering. "But don't you know"
said the assistant, "that it is against
the rules of this Office to take checks 2"
$50 it might be in some cases." an
swered the clerk, "but this gentleman
is perfectly well known and his check
is as good as gold" The assistant took
the check and said: "Well, I will run
down and have it certified" The gen.
tleman told him he need not take the
trouble, that he would cash the check
and come back for the stamps. He went
to the bank and drew the amount In
silver dollars, and with these in two bags
he returned to the Collectors Office and
demanded his stamps. The assistant
was Mortified at the sight Of the huge
piles of silver, and at first declined TO
take them, but the gentleman insisted
upon his doing SO, left the silver (Which
weighed nearly forty-fve pounds), took
the stamps and left.

the usher. The King, however, begged
Baron GAMBIA to keep the petition and
restore it to him on his departure, and
insisted that the usher should be for
given. An hour later, when just leaving
the Exhibition, the King remembered
the petitioner, and again urged the for

GAMBIA and the Syndic, "Promise me
that the usher shall not suffer nor be
dismissed. I should be sorry indeed.

MAKING AMENDS.
out.

A dramatist sitting by a friend at a
theater contrived to extract handker-
chief from his pocket and transfer it to
bis own. Presently man behind him,
tapping him on the shoulder, whispered:
"Beg pardon; here's your purse. Didn't
know you belonged to the profession !;
all right !" at the same time slipping in
to the amateurs hand the purse he had
extracted from his pocket. The story
may pass, for, although honor among
thieves has no existence, it is probable
that regular practitioners act on the
principle that dog should not eat dog.
That they ever go an inch beyond that
we do not believe; even though we have
it ON the authority Of the Gaatlois that
Charles Dickens once lost his watch at
theater in Paris, and found it at his
hotel with note running:
SIR: I hope you will excuse me; but I
thought I was dealing with a Frenchman, and
not a countryman. Finding out my mistake, I
hasten to repair it by sending herewith the
watch stole from you. I beg you to receive
the homage Of my respects, and to believe me
my dear countryman, your humble and obedient
servant. A PIcKPoCKET.
Trifers with feminine affections do
not always get off cheaply. A young
clergyman wise enough to choose well,
but foolish enough to allow himself to
be ruled by his friends, after proposing
to young lady, declined to fulfil the
engagement, and, being sued for breach
of promise, was cast into damages
$4,000. This brought him to his senses.
Seeking the plaintiff, he owned that he
had behaved UNANIMOUSLY, but vowed that
he had loved her all the while and loved
her still, and prayed her to forgive and
forget. "My friends" said he, "can
make no objection now; they cannot
say you are without penny, since you
have $4,000 of your very own" His
pleading proved irresistible, and the lady
and money were soon his own again.

THE CENSUS.

Now, madam, are you single; if SO,
what was your age last birthday? How
many offers have you had how many
refused, and why? What is the color
of your hair, and do you wear bangs,
and if so why not? Has there ever been
any old maids In your family, and if SO
state reasons? What is your favorite
brand of tea, and do you keep cat? The
penalty for not answering these ques-
tions is fine of 5 cents and forfeiture of
cat.

FRIENDSHIP.
By MRS. J. V. Il. Rooms

When evil Misrepresentation
Begrimes with her poisonous finger
The pure marble-white reputation
OF friend, do not silently Inger
Aside with your feet, Ike Achilles
Better openly join with the foe;
While the tongue in its coTardice still is
''The mills Of the gods grind slow"
If friendship possesses beauty,
spark of divinity's leaven,
lis promptncss in doing its duty
The" sesame open to heaven.
Than kindness earth knows nothing sweeter
IT'S the blossom that blesses the clod
And puts to shame Judas and Peter
With fash Of the lightning of God.

THE DARK HORSE-ROW THE TERN
ORIGIN4TED.

Many years "befo' de wah" there
lived in Tennessee an old chap named
Sam Flynn, who traded in horses, and
generally contrived to own speedy nag
or two which he used for racing purposes
whenever he could pick up q "soft
match" during his travels. The best of
his flyers was coal-black stallion named
Dusky Pete, who was almost thor
oughbred, and able to go in the best Of
company. Flynn was accustomed to
saddle Pete when approaching q town
and ride him into it, to give the impress
sion that the animal was merely "a
likely boss" and not flyer. One day
he came to town where country race
meeting was being held, and he entered
Pete among the contestants. The people
of the town, not knowing anything of
his antecedents, and not being overly
impressed by his appearance, backed
two or three local favorites heavily
against him. Flynn moved quietly
among the crowd and took all the bets
that offered against his nag. Just as
the "fyers" were being saddled for the
race, old Judge McMinamee, who was
the turf oracle in that part of the State,
arrived on the course, and was made
one of the judges. AS he took his place
in the stand he was told how the betting
ran, and of the folly Of the owner Of the
strange entry in backing his "plug" SO
heavily. Running his eyes over the
rlck, the Judge instantly recognized
Pete. and he said Gentlemen, there's
a dark horse in this race that will make
some of you smell hell before supper. :"
The Judge was right; Pete, the "dark
horse" laid back until the three-quarter
pole was reached, when he went to the
front with a rush, and won the purse
and Hymns bets with the greatest ease.
Ever after that the horsemen of the
vicinity fought shy of ''dark horses"
and it would be well if political parties
would do likewise. Chicago Telegraph.

HOW THE SHAKERS EXERCISED THE
DEVIL.

DEVIL.
A curious story which will be new to
many is told at birmingham, Mass. Sew
eral years ago there lived in Tyringham
Hollow prosperous family of Shakers.
At one time several Of their porkers were
taken sick, and they could account for
the complaint in no way, except on the
supposition that the devil had entered
into the swine. They tore down the
pens to find him, and in the midst Of the
work weasel ran out from the rubbish.
It was perfectly evident that the devil
had passed out into the weasel, so they
gave chose. The creature ran to the
top Of the hill, and the people, breath
less and excited. followed. At length
he was captured, killed and buried. AZ
ter that time the place where the weas-
ell was killed was called by them {" Holy
Ground" An inscribed monument was
erected, and it became favorite place
with Shakers for assembling for solemn
dances and worship. The monument is
broken now and the place is polluted by
stranger feet. The inscription is forgot
ten and cannot be deciphered, but the
story remains, and the place is known in
the vicinity as s'shakers' Holy Ground. !"
