ceiveo as gin eignt gold maShaS, re- citer of the Sama Veda, was thus spoken to by voluptuary There comes a sui. fcient living to you from your position as Brahman, so you should use this gold for finding out the ways of the werld and becoming expeienced.' The stupid fellow asked, Who will teach ne p The other said: Here is a courtesan named Caturika, go to her house. What must do thereT the Brahman asked. The voluptuary said: After you have given her the gold in order to please her, re- peat some Sama.' Upon hearing this, the Sama chanter went speedily to the house of Caiurika. When he entered she rose to receive him and then took a seat. Teach me now speedily the way of the world,' thus the Brahman spoke to her while he gave her the gold. The people then began to laugh, and after reAecting a little, putting his hands together like a cows ear, and like bound-up reed, and in shrill voice the idiot began to chant Sama, 90 that the voluptu aries came there to sec the sport. And they asked {: How did this jackal come in here ? They said, Let us give to him quickly the half moon upon his neck The Brahman believing that the half moon

A Pawnee Scalp Dahce
IAmcrican Antiquarian, l

As l approached the lodge an hour before sunset, l saw dangling from a lodge pole, which rose far above the lodge, the scalp around which the dap ce was to be held. The scalp was tha, oi a woman. The hair was fully eighteen inches long and of a red color. AS en. tered the lodge no one was within excep, the dancers ten or twelve in number, who sat in a semi.c,rcle at the back oi the lodge and opposite the entrance, and two attendants who busted themselves attend ing the wants of the dancers. All was quiet, not A word being spoken until near the setting sun. Then the drum mers beat with all their power, and in came the spectators (mostly nen) pell- mell. yelling at the top Of their voices. All seemed confusion, all were talking Rt once but once m, all agaiu became qdie,
 as before. The dancers were painted most fancifully, many being covered all over with white oE clay paint
 Where only the face was ornamented the more rare colors were used, such as rcd green, b lue, yellow. but all were painted beyond recognition. Spotted Horse " was the hrst to dance; he being the one who had cut the scalp from its owner
 He came forth with dignlhed air; first described how he had killed ihe woman
 and cut the scalp of beiore she was dead even describing how she had screamed and pleaded for mercy. By use of the as possib ble the dreadful tragedy in which he had played so important a part. Then came the dance; first the dancers head and body arc leaned forward. the head reao hing very near the ground, next lift ing the feet high 10 the ar, he throws himself back into a sitting posture with such force as to seem to Jar the very lodge A knife was he'd in one hand, q medicine gourd in the other. the latter ot which was shook accompaniment, to the music of the Indian drums. The dance was iB exact unison ~:.A the music. Al intervals he stopped and reviewed the story he had already related or some part Of Il, then again danced with more en- ergy than before. Thus the dance was kept up for an hour when he waS joined hy the rest c! the d4naers Oae by oRe they came forth and Tela:ed some act of vAlpf, after which the dance was again begun. This dance was kept up until midnight when the presents ~ere given. Many of the spectators became so ex- cited they took from their own body iheir wearing apparel and threw il to the .dxncers. Then came the big smoke. The chiefs pipes were filled oy the chief himself with (Now eo-cow) Indian to- bacco which is kept in a buf4lo head and is thought to possess spiritual virtue, and sent by the attendant to one Of the specta- tors who is known to have made some present. He smokes and pAsses 1t to ssch friend as he wishes.

 Then that Malyavan in the form of a mortal, wandering about in the forest, being called Gunadhya, having been an attendant of King Sstavahana, and hay. ing in his presence abandoned, in conse- quence of VOW, three languages, the Sanskrit, etc., and being distressed in mind, came to see the temple of Durga in the Vindhya mountains, and by the command of the goddess went and visited Kanabhuti. Then, having remembered his own birth, he was on a sudden awak- ened, and having employed the Paisaca language, which possesses distinguishing marks from the other three languages, and having caused him to hear his own name, he addressed Kanabhuti "Quick- ly tell me that divine story, which was heard from Pushpadanta, by which we, you and 1, my friend, may equally ac- complish our curse" Hearing that, Kanabhuti, lowing and delighted. said to him: {" will tell you the story, but, sir, have great curiosity, tell me all your history from birth up, show me this favor." Thus being requested by him, Gunadhya proceeded to speak as follows i: "In Pratishthana there is city known as Supratishthita, and here lived a most ex- cellent Brahman by the name of Somas- arman, and, my friend, he had two chil.
 dren, Vatsa and Gulmaka, and there was also third one born, daughter, named Srutartha. Then in course of time that Brahman, together with his wife, were dissolved into the five elements, and their two sons remained behind maintaining the sister. She suddenly became preg- nant. Seeing that, Vatsa and Gulma began to suspect each other, because there was no other man there. Then Srutartha divining the thoughts of her brothers, said to them: Evil suspicious are not to be entertained. Listen, and will tell you. There is a prince named krtisena, son of the brother of Vasuki, king of the Nagas, and being pure was seen by him going to bathe, and then he being overcome with love, made known to me his name and lineage, and made me his wife according to the rites of the Gandharvas. He is of the race of Brah- mans, and it is by him that have be- come pregnant Hearing that Vatsa and Guima asked What confidence can be placed in this p Then she secretly called to mind her Naga prince, and he came on the mere thinking ot him, and spoke to Vatsa and Gulma In truth she has been made my wife by me; your sister is the most beautiful Apsaras fallen by a curse, and you are here upon earth in consequence of curse, and here without doubt a son will be born to your sister :; then your curse and hers will be re- leased Thus having spoken, he disap- peared, and in few days the son of Sxutartha was born, for thou knowest me, friend" "This who is born is the incar- nation of virtue, he is named Gunad- hya, and he is a Brahman." So at that time Sarasvad uttered from the sky. Then in course of time the curse

Washington Letter.

The suspension last week of several
postmasters for offensive partizan-
ship shows that the administration if
slow is at least sure. But the contin-
ued illness of First Assistant Post
master General Hay is serious mis-
fortune. 1t is not improbable that
the failure to discharge the partizan
cross roads postmasters in Illinois has
had much to do with the democratic
disaster in that State. 1t may have
been the cause of the surprising apa-
thy among the Democrats, rank and
file, which gave to Senior Logan's
candidate for the State Senate a ma
jOrity of several hundreds in a dis
trict that last November gave Cleve-
land plurality ofnearly $500. Apro-
pos of the Illinois election [ heard a
lively little argument between two
prominent Democratic sojourners in
the public room of their hotel last
week. Don. M. Dickinson, the Mich
igan member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, ran against John
If. Oberly, chairman of the Illinois
Democratic State Committee.
elbow do you pronounce the name
of the man who goes to Russia" in,
quired Mr.. Oberly sarcastically
"Lathrop or Lothrop?"
Mr.. Dickinson did not reply.
"They say he hadn't voted Dem
Ocratic ticket in five years"-this
from Mr.. Oberly again.
"YOu will learn more of Michigan
men and how to pronounce theil
names if you live longer" was Mr.
Dickinson's quiet reply.
"Y-a-a-s," drawled Oberly, "bu
who are the Democatic Senators from
Michigan, anyway"
"Thirty thousand Democratic ma
jority in Republican Michigan is on
Senator and our "God bless you" t.
the Presidents" said Mr.. Dickinson
warmly. "When we have an cleo
ton in Michigan our committeemel

blest committeeman we have would
be ashamed to be down here on a
hunt for office for himself while it
was pending-more especially so if
on the result depended the election
or defeat of an Administration Sena-
tor. He would consider such con-
duct on his part a shame and a dis
grace to himself and his party"
Mr.. Oberly walked away and has
not inquired further concerning the
pronunciation of the Russian Minis
ter's name."
So long ago as the memory Of most
Democrats now living extends the
cry of their party when out of power
has always been for retrenchment in
public expenditures; and its practice,
when in power, has for the most part
been in the line of its professions.
Now it has been discovered by Mr..
Manning and Others high in authori-
ty, and will continue to be discovered
the more they investigate the matter,
that the working force of some of the
departments is capable of considera-
BILE reduction that the pay rolls are
too large, and that much money has
annually been expended ever since
the Republican party first came into
power, for which no adequate service
has been returned. Extensive re.
auctions will soon take place.
The Cabinet ladies have discontin.
ued their receptions for the season,
and have followed the example OF
Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hendricks
in taking needed rest. Mrs. Whit.
ney and Mrs. Manning are in New
York, Mrs. Villas is still in WiscOn,
sin, and Mrs. Bayard is making ar,
rangements to leave Washington fol-
a summers rest in Delaware at the
Secretary's country seat. When the
Secretaries families are settled here
next season there will be good dea
of youth and beauty in the Cabiner
circle.
1t will include Miss Endicott
daughter of the Secretary of War
Miss Villas, Miss Lamar, the two
youngest daughters of the Secretary
Of State, Misses Florence and Nanni,
Bayard, and Miss Manning, daugh
ter of the Secretary of the Treasury
Only two of these young ladies ar,
formally in society, but they will
form very attractive group mex
winter.
Social dissipation promises to b,

The Tax on Distillers.

Following is the circular Of Comp
troller p. p. Pickard, to County Court
Clerks in regard to tax on distillers !:
"Your attention is called to the fol-
lowing House Joint Resolution No.
n, in relation to the remission of
taxes on manufactured liquors for
the years 1881, 1882, and 1888.
"This resolution is not intended to
remit taxes collected prior to its pas
sage, but to suspend the further col
lection of taxes from such manufac-
turers for the years mentioned there
in. You are therefore requested to
make no further collections from such
manufacturers for said years, nor to
collect from manufacturers who sell
to be sold again, but to collect for
1884 and subsequent years from all
manufacturers who sell to consumers
in any quantity"
Below is the resolution of the Gen
eral Assembly authorizing the above
action:
"Be it enacted by the General As
Senl6Ly of the State Of Tennessee, That
the tax on all such manufactures fol
the years 1881, 1882, and 1883 be here
by RENTED and not collected, but
such manufacturers shall be liable fol

Damaging the Crops.

Cut-worms and other insects are
doing great damage to the crops in
Davidson county. The army worm
has also made its appearance and has
attacked the grass with vigor. In
some sections the cut-worms have at
tackled the Irish potato crop. An old
farmer said today that it was a mis-
taken notion that some farmers had
that cold weather would kill insects
on the contrary, he said, it is the
warm wheather that renders them
harmless. If the farmers could have
some July weather now the worms
and insects would disappear.
