A deserted Partisan damsel has
just secured an original and ample
revenge upon her faithless lover.
Hearing chat Alphopse had been be-
guiled by the seductive charms Of a
large portion held out to him by the
parents of another young lady who
was anxious to marry him, Blanche
rose to the occasion and on the eve of
the betrothal, while the afianced pair
were feasting and making merry, she
sent letter to the bride elect al-
noupcipg that shs had poisoned all the
food which. set forth the banquet.
This grim statement was read aloud at
the table and naturally caused gen.
eral panic. The fancee and her
mother we're carried out in Mysteries
and Doctors were summoned from far
and near. One Of the dishes was ana
lyzed and found to contain No trace Of
poison, and after further experiments
the company realized that they had
been made victims of a practical joke.
But Blanche had her revenge, for love
could not flourish in the shadow of a
stomach pump, and the engagement
was promptly broken. II "a not sa
noudced whether Alph6nse will re-
turn to his old love or whether he
will return to his old love or whether
he will be welcomed if he does.

A correspondent of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press who has sent from Fort
Yates to his paper, several excellent
descriptions Of Sitting Bull in his
new surroundings, while riding with
Father Stephan through the Indian
camp had his attention called TO a
large tepee, from short pole near
the top Of which dangled a scalp.
THE hair was discovered to be Of
unusual length, iine aud silky and OF
unusual length and Of auburn color.
There was just enough breeze TO occa-
sionally blow aside the gndetached
ends of the hair which at once re-
vealed in the bright sunlight the fact
that it must have originally belonged
to the head of some delicate wife,
mother or daughter. In this tepee was
being held a council Of chiefs, dozen
or more forming circle insipe. When
the presence OF the reporter became
known the talk ceased, and one or two
of the braves stepped outside and
shook hands with us and gunted
Howl to the ladies' on the back seat,
Chief Gall would not shake hands
until the ladies had removed their
gloves, and reference being made to
the scalp, it was announced that
Chief Running Antelope was pos
sessed Of a buckskin shirt, the lining
Of which consisted Of the scalps Of
white men aud women that had beer
massacred. "

Nashville Banner, ISL
Some weeks ago the Secretary Of the
State Board of Health, at the request
of the Board, wrote to the Secretary
ofthe National Board Of Health, re-
questing him to put inspectors on rail
roads leaving New Orleans for this
State to see nothing eOntraband OF
quarantine was brought on them. In
spectors had already been placed on
the river craft, and it was the opinion
of the State Board that it was an I'M
lust discrimination against the river
freights, and besides left large chance
for freights injurious to health to be
transported on railroads.
For some inscrutible reason, the
Executive Committee hesitated long
time to comply with the request,
though no reason whatever were as
signed why it was not done. The
matter was, however, passed upon the
attention of the National Board by
repeated letters until at last the Sec
rotary of the National Board wrote
that if the railroads would pay the in
spectors, they would be appointed BY
the National Board, and imposed the
duty of ascertaining that fact upon
the State Board. This the Secretary
OF the State Board absolutely objected
to doing, as it was derogatory to the
dignity of the Board Of
Tennessee, to go begging over
the country for a boon equally
enjoyed by all the Southern States,
and insisted again upon the National
Board placing inspectorg on duty, as
it was the business Of that body to
provide, on application, for all protec-
tion possible. At last the President
of the National Board, in the absence
of the Secretary, DR.. Turner, wrote to
the Secretary that he had instructed
DR.. Chaille to have an interview with
the railroads aAd endeavor to get them
to pay the inspectors who ne, DIR.
Chaille would at once designate for
that duty, and assigned as Q reason for
their hardness, that the National
Board did not have any resources with
which TO pay iuspectOrs unless
an epidemic should occur, in which
case a fund now locked up would
be subject to their orders. Thus, the
National Board has from importantly
done that which they should have
done long since, or assigned reasons
Scr the failure to do so. They did
not act as if they were dealing with
sensible, reasonable agents in the
whole course of the correspondence,
but rather said in effect, such is my
will, resign yourself toit. The course
pursued by the National Board in
this matter as we'll as in the inspection
at Vicksburg is not calculated to in
spire confidence in their infllhbility
as it has been vascilating aud object
aesa, seeming rather to yield to impoE
Gunity from the parties concerned
than acting upon the dictates Of sounC
judgment

High Taxes vs.. Low Taxes.


As the tax collector will soon start
on his round for collecting tax no. 2
for 1881, our people will have taste
of State eredit,aceording to High fax
ideas. Each one who paid ten dollars
for his State tax last year, will Just
have to fork over eighty this. But
then we are told this don't amount to
much compared with the great benefit
of State credit, and the great and good
American, in its issue of July 18th,
says the people could paymuch more,
If necessary.
II is true many an honest man, with
his little family, would be driven from
home on account of the tax, and the
years of toll that he has expended ia
trying to get q shelter for himself
and family will have been thrown
away and he be turned oul
a homeless vagabond; aud perhaps
driven from his native State to escape
the heavy burden upon him-"a Whole
some loss of q worthless class" Al
written down by that great and good
American.
But then maybe some Of those EN-
igrants that are TO come by the settle
ment Of the State debt may get BIZ
home. and thus fulfill the promises o
the High Takers about emigration anC
State credit. The Northern capital
lists will doubtless buy all they cal
with their coupons. which will be a
good as money at tax sale, and man.

place to some Spectator in Tennessee,
bonds, or his agent. Down with th

KALAKAUAIRrERWEWED.
The King Of the Sandwich Islands
CcnverSes With Correspondent,


PARIS, August II, 8Sl.-King Kali
akaua, who arrived here yesterday
with Colonel Armstrong, his Minister
of State, and Cononel Judd, favored
me with an interview at the Continen-
tai Hotel this evening. His Majesty
informed me that he would leave on
Monday for Portugal, where he had to
superintend some arrangements for
the emigration OF number of Portu-
guese to Hawaii. He told me that he
had been much disappointed by his
first glimpse of Paris and Vienna,
whereas New York had Immediately
struck him as being a beautiful city.
A nearer acquaintance with each
place had, however, greatly modified
his impressions. And what"
said l, ARE Your Majesty's
impressions as to the comparative
charms Of the ladies you have seen in
travelling from one country to an
other?" Comparisons are odious,
smartly replied King Kalakaua, in ir-
reproachable English. II don't want
to hurt any ones feelings" l then
approached the chief objects Of my
visit. HAS Your Majesty" | asked,
noticed the strange stories about re-
garding your intention 10 cede or sell
the Sandwich Islands to a foreign
power? Eyes," answered the King,
with spirit. II first saw the story at
Cairo, but it was too ridiculous, |
thought, to need contradiction in Lon
don. However, | saw the story re-.
peated there. There is not word of
truth in it. The papers" he con-
tinued, resignedly, do not seem to
understand the state of affairs in
Hawaii. My kingdom is a constitu-
tional monarchy, and ~ cessiou peo-
pie talk of could not be effected in my
absence or without a long discussion.
1t would first have to be proposed by
my Privy Council, then discussed care
fully in the Legislative Assembly, and
finally voted" Col. Armstrong here
remarked that Queen Victoria might
just as reasonably be suspected Of bar
tering away British independence.
King Kalakaua nodded assent, l
then asked His Majesty to inform me
what were the real objects Of his jour-
ney. He replied, II set out on my
travels partly for my pleasure and
partly for,my health; but as ! was go
ing my Privy Council thought fit to
send out a Minister with me to in
quire into and report on the emigra-
ton question. When we return the
report and record of our travel will
be published by Colonel Armstrong"
As His Majesty's dinner hour was
overdue and he looked hungry, [ did
not tax his courtesy further. | may
add to the foregoing that | have the
highest authority for stating that far
from King Kalakaua wishing to cede
his kingdom to anybody, one of the
chief objects of his voyage is to find
some power which would be willing to
guarantee its complete independence.

Facts tor Che Peop.o.


MoMinlville New Era,l
In the year 1880 the State tax on
property levied and collected in War
rem county, as shown by the Comp
troller, was two thousand four hun
dred and fifty.four dollars and seven :
tY-three cents. This was at ten cents
on the QUE hundred dollars worth OF
property: Will some High Tax man
tell us what it will be 10 the next
twelve months. when we have to nay
two assessments of forty cents each?
We don't reckon they will answer
this out loud, as itmight agitate some
body. Knowing their backwardness
and reserve in answering hard ques-
tons. We will answer it for them.
1t will be nineteen thousand six hun
bred and thirty. eight dollars and
eighteen cents; and this does not in
elude the various merchants and priv.
ilege taxes, nor the poll tax, nor even
the county tax.
With the present crop prospect be.

everybody else has been struck. AND

The people are fully conscious, new
ertheless, that the last three accessions
to the Supreme Bench, those of Har-
Ian, Woods and Matthews, were not
of such q character as to add greatly
to its authority or dignity. Each one
of them owes bis distinction to his
appointment rather than his appoint
ment to his distinction. No one oil
them had made a great reputation
even locally as a jurist, These three
men, with the two next to be appoint
ed, will constitute a majority to the
bench. The other members, Chief
Justice Waite, and Associates Fields,
Miller and Bradley, though able-and
experienced judges, have no such su-
perfnity Of weight that the bench
will safely admit of any further light
eniDg. There ought rather to be add
ed TO its membership two of the very
best jurists that the country cah
furnish and they should be appointed
for their ability and learning, theil
uprightness aud judicial character,
and without regard to political con
siderati0ns in any narrow sense.

CELESTIAL DIPLOMACY,
The New Chinese ambassador
Changes in the Legation.
Warrington POst.l

Warrington Post.l
The new Chinese Minister, who is
expected to arrive in November to
succeed Chin Ian Pin, is Ching Tsau
Yu, man about titty-five, who has
been in the government service a great
many years it appears. He has been
of late the Government Inspector Of
Arsenals and more recently Collector
of Customs at rien- Tsin, which posi-
ton he held up to the time of his APP
pointment to the Embassy here. 1t is
understood that Yung Wings place Of
Assistant Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister PlenipOtentiary will not be
continued in future. Minister Ching
Tsau Yu will bring with him
full complement of attaches
for the Consulates of Cuba, Peru
and Spain, to replace those who re-
turn. Some of these officials will be
retained for another term of three
years. for which the Chinese govern
ment makes its civil appointments,
but most of them will return to China.
OF the attaches here it is understood
at the legation that Ho Shen Chez
and Yen SEE Chez will stay as a part
of the personnel Of the new embassy.
The officials of the legation explain
that the party of Chinese who have
started for home are to be employed
in the establishment of telegraph
line from Shanghai to Pekin. For
this work twenty of the most apt Of
the students were chosen. They are
not yet expert operators, but will be
taught here. 1t is believed that their
knowledge in other branches Of the
business will be exceedingly impor-
tant in the establishment Of the line
and the management of the Offices,
