A BAFFLE POE FEEEDOM.
Appleton's Journal translates from
a German sketch of American travel,
the subjoined account of an incident
alleged to have occurred on a Missis
feippi steam boat a short time before
the war:
"I ascended the Mississippi," says
the writer, "on a steamer on board
of which were Judge J and Gen.
K , of Pennsylvania, with both
of whom I was sl.ghtly acquainted."
"A hard set, those Natchez men,"
said the captain, who met us on the
cabin stairs. "There's some of them
down in the saloon plajing a high
game. How men can be such fools, I
never could see."
" Let's go down and look on a
while," suggested the Judgp.
In the saloon we found four men
seated at a table, around which a
crowd of spectators were gathered.
The four were the heavy players.
The game was poker, and the mon
ev changed bands rapidlv. We had
not been looking on long "when one
of the players, a middle-aged man,
who I learned to be a cotton-planter.
bet his last dollar against the hand of
his antagonist. The latter showed
tour king?, while he had only four
queens. He was "cleaned out," and
rose as If he was going to leave the
table.
"Are you broke, colonel?" asked
one of the men.
"Dead," was the laconic reply.
"Never mind; I'll lend you."
"No ; I can make a raise I reckon
Here, Pomp!"
,rHere, Massa!" responded en old
negro, as he emerged from one corner
of the saloon.
"Bring that girl and her youngster
here, that I bought in Natchez. Wait
a few minutes gentlemen. I'll raise
some money."
BEOWKYILLE, KEBBASKA,
J The negro went on hia errand and
1 soon returned with the girl and her
youngster. The "girl" proved to be
a stately mulatto woman about 35
years old. Her "youngster" was a
fine, intelligent-looking boy, 11 or 12
years old, whose complexion showed
him to be much more nearly allied to
the white than the black.
"Here, gentlemen," said the plant
er, as they entered, "yon see the girl
and her boy two as fine niggers a?
you can find anywhere- I paid SSOO
for them yesterday at atcbez. Who
will give me $600 for them.
"Will you sell them separate?"
asked some one.
' sb, can't do it ; I promised not to.
The girl swears she'll take her life if
she's separated from her boy, and her
old master said that he was sure she
would keep her word. But don'tyou
see that the girl is worth more mon
ey than I ask for them both. Come,
who'll give me 600 for both ?"
The planter waited a moment for a
reply, and then said :
"Well, I must have some money.
Come what do you say to a raffle
thirty at twenty dollars a chance?
Out with your cash, gentlemen. The
first on the list shall have the first
throw?"
This proposition created a decided
stir among all present. The players
at the table led off by taking three
chances each. Their example was
followed by the spectators, and twen
ty chances were taken as rapidly as
the planter could write down the
names and take the money. Then
there was a slight pause. The plant- i
er himself took two chances, and he j distance carrying some fish, ad sup
was followed by two fellow-player.-, posing the mystery was about to be
who each took one chance more. Fi
nally, three more chances were taken j
by the spectators, when the planter J
cri-d out :
"Two chances still.

Who will have them ?"
Gen. K whisjered something
in Judge J 's ear, and then went
to the table and laid two ten-dollar
gold pieces on it.

".Never mind the name.

"Eh what! for the girl herself?
"Yes. certainly; let us

"AH right ! One for Minette

"Good! bravo! bravo!" cried the I
planter aad several of the by-standers.
"One for Tommy, which makes thir

luck favors."
The dioe were brought out and the
throwing began. Each chanoe enti
tled the holder to three throws.
Thirty-six wa3 the highest throw
until the holder of the eleventh
chance threw. He scored forty-two.
Then a les number was thrown, un
til 2so. 21 scored forty-nine.
The excitement now became in-

the highest throw possible being nine
sixes fifty-four.
Again and again the dice rattled in
the box until it came to To. 26.
As the poor woman came forward.
her hands pressed and crossed convul-fto
sively against her breast, it was truly
painful to witness her agitation.
"Won't the gentleman who took
the chance for me please throw?" she
asked in a low tremulous tone.
' no; let your boy throw," replied
the "general ; "perhaps he would have
more luck than I."
"Come, Tom," said the planter.
Tom came forward and picked up
the box. The woman pressed her
lips together firmly as if in prayer.
The boy trembled like an aspen leaf.

For s moment he stared at the dioe
as though he could not believe his
own eyes, then he put down the box
pale and dejected.
" Come Tommy, throw again," urg
ed the planter
"It's no use, master; I couldn't
throw forty-nine now.''
"True, true! But you have your
own chance. Throw that."
"Certainly," said Judge J ,
"that one was your mother's.. Now
throw for yourself on the chance I
gave you. Have a stout heart, my
boy, and may heaven smile on you !'
Again the boy returned to the table
and took up the box. He pressed his
lips together and did his best to con
trol bis trembling limbs. Nbtasound
was to be heard in the saloon but the
rattle of the dice. For a moment
every man seemed to hold his breath.
He threw.
"Two fives and a six sixteen !"
said the planter, pntting down the
number, while a murmur of satisfac
tion ran through the crowd.
One of the by standers gathered up
the dice and pot them in the box, and
the boy threw again.
Two sixes and and a five seven
teen !
The excitement knew no bounds,
3nd the "bravos" resounded on every
hand. The boy, as he took up the
box to throw for the third and last
time, was as nearly colorless as it was
possible for him to be with his yellow
skin.
Out rolled the dice, and np came
three sixes, w,hich made fifty-one!
"Tommy, my boy, I congratulate
you!' cried the planter. "You are
your own and your mother's master!
Fill up the neces3&ry papers, captain,
and I will sign them. These gentle
men will be the witnesses!"
I will not attempt to describe the
scene that followed. In the general

The
Incredible Story a Canadian
- ".School Teacher Tells,
A confirmation of the strange re
port that a shower of fish had fallen
on the fourth concession of Harwich
Township is given by a school teacher
of the neighborhood, who, in a letter
to the London Jree lb-ess, testifies to
what he saw as follows :
"Having dismissed the children for
the day, I was returning to my boarding-
place, when, with a side glanoe, I
discovered something in the grass.
At first I thought it was some species
j of rattle-snake, but upon more careful
scrutiny I found it was a fine, firm,
fresh fish of the pickerel species. Hav
ing been brought up at the sea-3hore,
I kuew at once the fish was good, and
I picked it up, while wondering
whence it came. ry astonishment
was increased, however, when, step
ping on a few yards furttier, I found
another equally good. A few steps
further, and one more, and then I

Good Adviser.
Those men who understand the val
ue of a woman's advice have learned
a valuable lesson. It is a wondrous
r advantage to man. ia every pruit or
vocation, to secure an adviser in a
sensible woman. In woman there is
at once a subtle delicacy of tact and a
plain soundness of judgment which
are combined to an equal degree in
man. A woman, if she be really
yourriend, will have a sensible re
gard for your character, honor and
repute. She will seldom cocnsel yon
to do a shabbv thins, for a woman
proud of
friend always desires to be
you. At the same time, her constitu
tional timidity makes her more eauti
ou3 than your male friend. She,
therefore, seldom counsels you to do
an imprudent thing.
A Buck Battle.

A gentleman from Packwaukee re
lates the particulars of a novel sight
he was witness to the other day on
Buflalo Lake. His attention was at
tracted toward the lake by a roar that
resembled the approach of a hurricane.
and there he discovered myriads of
ducks engaged in mortal eombat. He i
' watched them for a while, and discov
ered that the battle was between the
canvas backs and the mallards, who
were evidently striving for supremacy
onj the celery fields. The lake was
fairly strewn with feathers, as if all
the ducks in the land had been pick-
led for the occasion.

AX OLD WITCH.
How and Why Connecticut Handed
Juliana Cox 12i Yeaxs Ao.
Hartford Times.
A friend in Glastonbury sends cs
the following account, which had
been cut out of the limes away back
in 1523, and pasted in an old scrap
book. Juliana Cox, we n-joice to be
lieve,, was the only witch that was
ever.hanged in Connecticut and it is
a matter of regret that even one such
cae of superstition and shame can be
brought up against the good old State.
The place of the execution, on '-Gallows
Hill ."in this city, is now known
as the comanding trap-rock ridge by
the "stone-pits.' Here is the ac
count :
In the beautiful town of Glaston
bury, in Connecticut, the followingre
markable event occurred in 175S. In
llareh of that year one Julius Perry
went out with his dogs to hunt. In
the depth of the forest be discovered
(as he alleged) an old gray fox, and
his dogs gave chase. After chasing
thi3 fox upward of two miles, the an
imal was holed. When Mr. Perry
oame up he heard a strange noise over
the other side of the hole, and going
to the spot, he there found Juliana
Cox lying and panting for breath.
Her left shoulder was bleeding and
had on it the marks of the dogs' teeth.
This was just the spot on the gray
fox's shoulder where the dogs had
seized him. Upon this testimony
Miss Cox, a maiden lady of 44. was
brought to trial for the capital offense
of being a witch. On her arrafern-
meat she pleaded not guilty, and it i oiner od. or ma-wr. turougn au
was determined that a committee of other, into the smoking oar, where he
