An AneodOte q washington kYing.

Many years ago-ln. fact. back IN the
thirties-Dr. Grant, of Enfield, whose
reputation Us physician in Connect
cut is still in memory of the first rank
after years Of retirement from practice,
was travelling in South Carolina, his
native State, going by stage from Sa-
Vannah to Augusta. At certain step
ping-place it was found that there were
more passengers than the stage could
carry, and an extra was ordered for
the accommodation of five passengers.
These passengers were John Forsyth,
of Georgia, John Branch, Postmaster
General, George McDuffie, of South
Carolina, DR.. Grant, and an unknown
gentleman. The party soon became
talkatiVe, and by degrees all knew who
each one was, with the exception Of the
one silent stranger. As the stage
creaked along. the attention Of DR..
Grant, who was lad at that date, was
attracted by little dog following the
stage, which reminded him of one de-
scribed by Washington Irving In As
toria, which he had Just been reading.
He was laughing quietly to himself,
when one of the gentlemen insisted that
he should sell them the cause of his
amusement, that they might join in the
fun. DR.. Grant said: THAT little dog
reminds me Of Washington Irvings
dog, whose skin was SO tight that is
drew up his hind-legs-'
This led to talk about Irving. IN
which all joined except the unknown
man. One of the gentlemen then APP
peaied to him, and asked if he did not
think Irving one of our wittiest and
most delightful writers. The person
appealed to replied that he could not
say that he did. The gentlemen all ex-
pressed their establishment, and one Of
them persisted in demanding why he
did not agree with the others in their
admiration of the favorite author.
Have you ever read any Of his
work." they asked.
Yes > was the reply.
''Well, don't you think the Sketch
Book one of the most beautiful speci-
mems of English which our country has
produced?'
"Well, no." the unknown replied; II
can not say that see anything remark
able in it. y
"Well," said the other, ''then you
must be Washington Irving himself, for
no one else could resist the humox and
pathos of bis pen"
The unknown colored to the roots Of
his hair, but made no reply. and bis
tormentor continues:
''Come, tell us the truth; are yosb not
Washington Irving himself ?"
The poor man at last blushingiy con-
fessed that he was, and then followed a
general Introducing and hand-shaking,
and delightful and never-to-be-forgot.

That Fourth of July morning I shah
never forget. We were awakened by
the most blood curdling yells that ever
pierced the ears of three Write BOYS.
1t was the Indian war-whoop. found
myself instinctiVely feeling for my back
hair, and regretting the distance TO the
railroad. We fingered indoors IN q
rather terrified condition. until we found
out that this was simply the beginning
of the days celebration. 1t was tho
''sham-iight;' bat it looked real
enough, when the Indians came tearing
by, their ponies seeming to enter into
the excitement as thoroughly as their
riders. There were some five hundred,
in full frills and war-paint, and all Civ
ing those terrible yells.
Their costumes were simple, but gay
in color--paint, feathers, and more
paint, with an occasional shirt.
One little boy, whose name was Sha-
ke-to-pa -Four Nails, had five feathers
big ones, too-in his hair. His face
was painted; he wore great round ear
rings, and rows of beads and claws
around his neck; bands of beads on his
little bare brown arms; embroidered
leggins and beautiful moccasins, and a
long piece of red cloth hanging from his
waist. In fact, he was as gayly dressed
as a grown-up Indian man, and he had
cunning little war-club, all orna-
mented and painted.
For weapons, they carried guns,
rifles and long spears. Bows and ar
rows seemed to be out of style. A few
had round shields on their left arms.
Most of the tepees had been collected
together and pitched so as to form q
large circle. and their wagons were
placed outside this circle 50 rs to make
sort of protection for the defending
party. The attacking party, brandish-
ing their weapons in the air with In
creased yells, rushed their excfted and
painting ponies up the slope toward the
tepees, where they were met by rapid
discharge of blank cartridges and
powder. Some of the ponies became
frightened and unmanageable, several
riders were endorsed, and general con-
fusion prevailed. The entrenched party,
in the meantime, rushed out from
behind their defenses, climbing on top
of their wagons, yelling and dancing
around like demons. Added to this,
the sight of several riderless ponies fly
ing wildly from the tumult made this
sham-6ght have terribly realistic look.

Not To Be Trusted.

The natives are spoken of as mig
gers, just as were our slaves before
the war. have even heard them SO
designated by missionaries.
They are as rule so dishonest that
everything has to be kept under lock
and key. 1t is not safe to even send a
boy to the post-office with stamped
letter unless certain precautions are
taken, for even the most Trustworthy
servant will pull off the stamp, however
small its denomination. tits customary
to draw a mark across the stamp. SO
that the ends of it cross the envelope, and
then write stamped" above Che whole.
This is great country for what are
called "ehits." The foreign residents
stay indoors for the most part, and
keep their servants trotting back and
forth in the sun with notes. There is what
is called the chit-book, in which the
servant gets receipt for all communi-
cations of Importance. It does not do

Now that the election is over and
the absorbing interest In politics GER
tain to abate, the people should turn
their attention to business
Whether because business men have
all or nearly all turned politicians or
for the reason that most men were
waiting for the consummation of the
hope of Cleveland's election cannot
be stated, but the fact is beyond dis
pute that business has been languish
ing. It is true that wages have been
reduced and work diminished during
the past few months and men with
reduced income become cautions in
expenditure, but they may now give
their energies to earning money and
expanding it, and the fact that dis
bursements will be governed by the
spirit of economy need not curtail
business though it may diffuse it
Meantime let all put their shoulders
to the wheel and push business and
the people may be happy yet.
