Amrrlra's Natives llenrrltiil.
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.

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.

"T. P." stands alone among popular
journalists in that practically all his
work is done for one paper. The Weekly
Sun, of which ho is the founder and ed
itor. 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. All these aro

I Two Charge.
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.
