INDIAN PICTURE WRITING.
How the Turtles Notify the World o
Their Achievements In Wal.

-" NAO
Their Achievements In Wal.
Let us see how an Indian of North
America goes to work to write. Sup
pose a wild Indian belonging to the
great clan whose members call them
selves the Turtles, makes a raid on a
village Of huts and wigwams owned by
enemies belonging to the widespread
clan called the Bear clan. Suppose it
has taken the Turtles three days of
hard travel through forests and over
the hills to reach the Bears. By means
of their crafty spies, they find that the
brave men of the Bears are away hunt
ing moose, and that most of the squaws
and pappooses are either in the fields
of maize or in the woods, where the
berries are ripe, and only a few old
men and women are left behind to keep
watch over some ponies and oxen.
Then the Turtles, each clutching his
bow, creep on the village under cover
of the woods, and with q terrific yell
rush at the wigwams. The old people
run into the bushes, frightened almost
to death, as YOU can well imagine.

Chloroform and Robbery,

The Cincinnati Sun publishes the
following: rs. E. Chamberlain, a
stock dealer living near Toledo, was
found iuscnsible in Mill Creek bottom
early this morning and, after being
restored, stated that he arrived in this
city Tuesday night; that he entered a
hack at the depot and requested to be
driven to the Palace Hotel. After he
had proceeded some distance he said
he heard a peculiar noise as of air
escaping from q tube, and soon after
wards lost all consciousness until this
morning. His pockets had been rifed
Of $l2O and a valuable gold watch.
The police claim that the hack was
liked by means of a pipe extending
from the drivers seat to the inside Of
the vehicle, So arranged as to enable
the driver to force a slecp-producing
gas into the inside"

The Laughing-Gas cad"

The bellies Of New York are quick ia
grab right hold Of new ideas that are
frivolous, and it is a pity that their in
clination in that respect cannot be di-
vcrtcd into higher and broader chan
ncls. went yesterday to have q tooth
pulled. New York has several places
exclusively for that jcrky sort of sur
gerry, wherein no other dentistry Is prac-
ticcd. and where great quantities of
laughing-gas arc used. The accustomed
patient sits p!acidly down in the chair,
breaths out OF the bag, goes 10 sleep,
and awakcns in II minute or so to find
that his tooth is gone. He has suffered
neither dread nor pain. But the noviccs
do not divcSt themselves of the fright of
anticipation, and the w0iting-r0om is
therefore full of wobcgonc faces and
trembling limbs, and the voice of per-
suasion is constantly raised. This time,
however, saw Il bcvy of fashionable
dressed girls. not one of whom showed
symptoms Of aching teeth or palpitating
terror. Nov, ladies'" said ono of the
operators, please step this way" They
went into the sanctum, but were not so
perfectly secluded that l could not see
what was done to them. Each in turn
took a blithcsomc seat in the chair,
breathcd the gas, fell back insensiblc,
speedily aroused herself, and gave place
to another subject. Then they paid 80
cents apiece and departed, laughing and
chattcring.
They take the gas for cxhileration,"
said the doctor, when l asked for an
explanation. at is usually a cure for
headache, it WHITES a jadcd brain, and
it has suddenly become a stylish thing
to take. After a late night at a recep-
ton, or any other cause of lassitude,
the bellies visit us in parties like the ono
you've seen, and take light doscg or
l~aughing-gas. That is the latest swell
fad, you know"

George Sheridan's Joke.

Gen. George II. Sheridan, "of Louisi-
ana" lives now at the Union Square
hotel and is coming to be known as q
Union Square notability. He has had a
chPckcred political career, but he has
had q good living through it all, evil
IDENTIFY, for he has grown stouter and
stonter with each succeeding year, until
his Snort figure now carries upward of
25O pounds of flesh. AS a stump speaker
ho has been and still is in great demand.
His talks arc n mixture of witty stories
and eloquence which is taking with the
people. A politician of Ohio related to
mo yesterday an incident of one of
Sheridan's engagements which had q
ludicrous ending. Sheridan was posted
tor n speech in a manufacturing town
in northern Ohio. 1t was an off year,
and the Democrats were expecting to
carry the county through Republican in
difference and tho labor vote. They
didn't want Sheridan to make n speech
for fear he would rouse up all the Repub.
licans, but how to keep him away was
a problem. They hit upon q plan at
last, and when Sheridan arrived he was
surprised to meet q cordial reception
from several Democratic acquaintance
who pressed him with invitations to go
out and smile" He finally went out
with them and was conducted to a
saloon where he found a number Of
other choice spirits, but all Democrats.
They began to ply him with invitations
to drink, and IL Don popped into his
head that they had n scheme to make
him drunk and let the meeting be q
failure because of his non-attendance.
When be became satisfied that this was
their game he went in for as much fun
as anyone. 1t was 2 o'clock when they
went into the saloon. At half-past z he
walked out with n slightly unsteady
step, but with a perfect control of his
motions, while every other man of the
crowd was under the table. Ho went to
the hall where he was to speak and de-
livcred one of the finest efforts of his
life, not forgetting to tell the story Of
how the enemy had tried to trip him up.
The county rang with his speech for o
week, and was carried for the Republic
cans.-M. Y. Tribune.

Morris Johnson is the head, were
poisoned on Saturday before last by
eating the flesh Of q stolen hog which

mentioned cnsued. Bill Harris and
Henry Clay, two guests of Morris
johnson, and Johnson's step-daughter
