An indian War.

Our Piutes are inclined to follow
the teachings OF Nautilus and destroy
the deformed or demsnted children.
1t seems, however, that while hold
ing to the Malthusian doctrine as q
tribe, they have personal preferences
which overshadow the demand of q
general principle. In fact without
in all probability ever having heard
the proverb, there is not a squaw in
the Piute nation who does not think
that her goose is swan, or in other
words that her pspoose is the
straightest and smsrtest Of all the
infan. subjects of the Moribund king
Winnemuccs. In campoody in the
northern portion of the town there
resides a family one member of
which is a detormed and idiotic boy.
This boy was an eyesore to the tribe
and only through the extreme vigi'
lance of his doing mother 10 he per-
milted so exist contrary as such ex-
istence is to the unwIitten laws of the
whole Piute nation. On Thursday
night the tribal official, to whose
hands such duties fall, made an at
tempt to purge the campoody Of the
contempt Of law and order manifest
ed by The life. liberty and happiness
of the idiot boy, but the mother, ever
on the watch fought so vallisntly
With tongue, teeth and nails, that she
held tue executioner and his assist
ants at bay until some of her white
ntighbors aroused by her outcries,
went to the rescue and drove off the
attacking force. The Indians now
say II was an attack made by some
drunken Washoes, but the mother of
the boy insists that 1t was party
ssnt to atone her child to death.

temper and tact were put to the
proof one court day, when the Judge
brought with him the accustomed
half score or more of lawyers, for
whom not the slightest preparation
had been made, the Judge having
quite forgotten to remind his wife
that it was court day, and she herself
having overlooked the fact.
The dinner was served with ele-
gance, and Mrs. Tucker made her
self very charming. On leaving the
guests to their wine she said,-
" Gentleman, you have dined to
day with Judge Tucker; promise
ne that will all dine tomorrow with
me-"
This was her apology; whereupon
the gentlemen all swore that such a
wife was beyond price. The Judge
then explained the situation, and the
next day there was a noble banquet.
Moral: Never worry a guest with
apologies for 4 poor dinner.

No Apologies for Dinner.

Apologies for poor dinner are
generally out of place. But when a
forgetful husband, who, without
warning, brings dozen guests home
to sit down to a plain family dinner
for three or four, it is not in human
nature to keep absolute silence
What to say and how to say ii

the wife of Judge Tucker of Viii

An Obstinate Conscript.

Last year, writes the Rome cores
pendent of the Philadelphia Bulie-
tin, there was youth who declared
he might draw the bad number or
not, he would not be Il soldier; he
did draw the bad number and still
he declared that he would not be a
soldier. After having drawn it he
returned home. and there he stayed
until he was fetched by force. He
followed the sergeant who had been
sent for him, declaring all the time
that it was useless to force him, be-
cause he would not be a soldier
He passively allowed himself to be
stripped for the examination, with
out helping the operation by a finger.
When he was told to put on his uni
form he refused, saying he would
not be soldier. He was shut up
alone in n room with the uniform,
but when they went to see how far
the toilette had progressed, they still
found him standing, Adam-lille in
the middle of the room, with the
uniform where they had laid it.
They could not leave him there, as
yon may imagine, so they dressed
him, he remaining quite passive, as
usual; but when they put the gun
into his hands. he sternly refused to
touch ii, saying it was contrary to
lis convictions to carry any muir
dcrous weapon, In vain they tried
10 reason with him, but they might
ia well have appealed to a stone.
They took him to the Captain, where
he repeated the same thing-that he !
would never touch a gun in his life. !
"You may do what you will with
me- he said ~ am not afraid of
death, but will kill no man "
They put him into prison, and kept |
him on bread and water; they
threatened. they coaxed and did all
they could to persuade him, but it
was useless. He only replied: ~
will never hold or use gun. will
