This description of the natives as they appeared to the English colonists in Maryland was written in lOtti: They are very proper toll men of per son; swarthy by nature, but much more by art; painting themselves with colours in oyle, like a durkn red, which they doe to keep tho gnatts off. As for their faces they have other colours at times, us blew from tho 1100 upward and red down ward; somewhat contrariwise, in great varietie and in very gastly manner. They have no beards till they coiiie to lie very old, and therefore draw from each side of their mouthes lines Ut their eares to represent u lieurd. Their up parell generally is deere sky ns and some furre, which they wear liko loose man tels; and yet under this, about their middle, all women and men, ut man's estayte, wero roundo aprons of skyns, which keeps them decently covered, go that, without any offense to chant eyes, we may converse with them. All the rest of their bodies are nuked, and at times some of the youngest sort of both men and women have just noth ing to cover them. Tlie natural wit of this nation is very quick and will con ceive a thing very readily. They excell in smell nnd taste and have far shurper sight than wo. If these people were once Christi-ins (as by some signs we have reason to think nothing hinders it but wuut of language), it would be a right virtuous and renowned nation. Huw They Kolibeil the Marcjul.. In the old range cuttle boom days, when money from foreign lands was pouring into the west like water, there were a good many sharp tricks prac ticed in delivering cuttle. It is recalled that tho Marquis da Mores, who tried to cut such a conspicuous figure as a revo Intiouizur of the American meat trade, and who later became notorious as a duelist, was badly sold. While in Da kota he bought 10,000 heud of cattle from two Englishmen. They were first class cuttle and cost forty dollars ahead. When these two Britons delivered tho cows they worked one of the neatest "skin" games that was ever beard of. Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with table lands en each side. Well, the Englishmen ran 3.000 head of cattle in on the marquis and collected for 10,000. The way they did it was by running the same 3,000 twice around the hill, De Mores never "tumbled" until he had paid his $100,000 and the tnorry cockneys were bound for South Amer ica. It was a clear steal of $200,000, but the marquis didn't make much bone bout it. He had plenty of money and didn't care. Chicago Drovers' Journal.

A l''rl'iul of llm I'nrnirr. The hop growers of Otsego county have discovered what iiaturali Is have long been trying to make farmers under stand that skunks, instead of Itciug their enemies, as they formerly Hiipioscd are among theirmost useful friends. As one bop grower expressed it. "Nowadays we protect skunks as carefully as wn do song birds." Hop yards, it npK-nrs, am infested by certain kind of grub which gnaws off the tender vines at the root, and this grub is tho favorite fixsi of tho skunk. As a general thing the skunks sally forth at nightfall, but now and then they are to be seen at work in broad daylight. Tho proceeding is nn interesting oun to watch. 1 The skunk Is-gins his quest on the edge of tho yard, where he cis ks his head over a hill of bops and listens. If a grub is at work upon one of tho four trailing vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. At once ho begins to paw up the earth, and presently ho is seen to uncover tho grub and swallow it with unmistakable relish. ( Then he listens again, and if he hears 1 nothing proceeds to the next bill. And ! so ho goes on till be has hud his fill. Now that tbo skunks are no longer ' molested, they have liecomo compar.v ' tively fearless. Sometimes, we are told, they keep up their operations even while tho cultivator is driven lietwcen the rows. Cor. New York Tribune. The Work of a Ixinilon Write. "T.

He knows as well as any onn the value of his own pen, and ho takes cur to write the most important parts of the paper himself and to append his famous initials to all his work. A casual glance through a tinrnljerof the paper will serve to show the amonnt and variety of his weekly labors. First there is a review of the "book of the week," which invariably extendi over five closely packed columns. Thi article, always conspicuously brilliant, would be a good two days' work for any writer. Then there are the editorial notes from 0110 to two columns; an inter view with some celebrity, one column; theatrical Titiques, two or three col umns, and lastly a few paragraphs on tho correspondence page.

There was a suit tried in the United States circnit court at Raleigh some years ago in which a Baltimore commis sion house was plaintiff and General Bryan Grimes, who led the last charge at Appomattox, was defendant. Judge Bond, who presided, was strongly anti southern during the war and a citizen I of Baltimore. The luto Governor Fowle, I who was a very eloquent lawyer, repre sentea Generul Grimes, and in his ap peal to the jury luid full stress on the character and record of his client and dwelt eloquently on the "last charge at Appomattox." Coming ont of the court, he said to the opposing counsel (now Judge Fuller of tlie United States land cluims court). "Fulle r. thut lost charge at Appomattox has got mo the jury." "Yes," said Fuller very quietly; "and that last churge of Judgo Bowl bus got me the verdict." And so it proved. I Green Bag. Various ttourc of Silk.
