Turning (he Tables on a Practical Joker. The Minnesota Pioneer relates the 1 following good anecdote: ' Every body knows M-*-, clerk of J the Dr. Franklin Eo. 3; and one of j the severest practical jokers that ever j ran upon the river or that ever ran , saws upon a greenhorn. I lie past j season, as one of his instruments of , waggery? he took along a couplG of ( reeas, (Indian flutes,) one of which , Was charged with flour, so that when the flute was blown, a perfect * cloud of flour was discharged into | the face and eyes of the person blow ing it. Whenever M? found any ( passenger, priest or layman, it was | all the same to him, who manifested an interest in these Indian curiosities, he would pioduce the two flutes, and retaining the one thai was not load. 1 ed with flour, would hand over the ( other to the verdant enquirer; and | would then commencc playing that , plaintive, monotonous Dacota tune, , with a variation o( two notes, which , is so familiar to the ears of every re- ! eident of St. Paul.

On the last trip oft no F ranklin, but . a few weeks since, M? had his Indian flutes along, as usual; and otic of the passengers, who was up to snuff, determined to turn the laugh for once upon the old wag himself; t * l ? t% - bo ne iook ivi s. uecoy liute away to the cook room, and charged it well with finely pulveriz> d charcoal, and returned it, without NTs. knowledge, to its place in the oifice, with the olh er flute, and after dinner said in M'S. hearing, that 'it would be pleasant to have some music.1 Certainly,' says M?; 'did you ever seethe flutes that the Sioux bands up Jhe river play upon?' *No,' replied the si ranger* 4I never did. Do tell me if they have flutes?' This wrs enough tor M?. Ilis facet luminous as the sun behind a crimson cloud, was radiant with anticipated fun, as he brought out the two flutes, and handed to the enquirer thoono loaded with Hour. A whole crowd the most of whom understood the Hour trick, several oi them having been victimized, gathered around to see the sport. 'Ln, me!' said the enquirer, lI should not?whv J haven't the least idea?why how do you (trying to finger the holes) blow the darned thing, any way?1 'Oh, simple, very simple,' replied M?; 'this instrument is used by the Indian lover, in ser< nading his dusky sweethears.

A New Agricultural Wrinklo.?A funny story is told of an old friend of aurs?one who, sick and tired of the 3are and bustle of a city lilc, has reired into the country and 'gone to "arming' as the old saying is.

So far by way of explanation. Once upon a time, as the story- ' sooks say, our friend, being on a vist to the city, was attending an auc1 ion sale down town, and as it so lappened they were selling damaged sausages at the time. There were some eight or ten barrels of them, uid they were 'just going at fifty sents per barrel,1 when the auctioneer, with all apparent seriousness, remarked that tney were worth more than that to manure land with. Here was an idea. 'Sixty-two and a half,1 said our friend. 'Just a going at sixty-! wo and a half cents?third and last call?gone!' retorted the auctioneer?'Cash takes them at sixty-two and a half per barrel.' To have ihcm shipped for his coun try seat was the immediate work o! our friend, and as it was then planting time, and the sausages, to use a common expression, were 'getting no better fast,' to have them safe under ground and out of the way was his next movement. He was about to plant a field of several acres of corn?the soil of the piney woods species?so, here was just the spot fur this nuvv experiment in agricul j uue, mis new wrinkle in me science I of geoponscs. One 'link' ofsausa-j ges being deemed amply sufficient, that amount was placed in each bill, accompanied by the usual number of kernels of corn and an occasional pumpkin seed, and all were nicely covered over in the usual style.? Now, after premising that several days have occurred since the corn was planted, the sequel of the story shall be told in a dialogue between our friend and one of his neighbors. tvt i i ? % r ? n . rxeignnor.?'Well, menu, nave you planted your corn?1 4los, several days since.' lis it up yet?' 'Up! yes; up and gone the most of it.' 'How is that?1 4 Well, you see 1 bought a lot of damaged sausages in Orleans the other day, a smooth-tongued auctioned ort_yiiF?? (hoy would iimkc* excellent manure if nothing else, i brought the lot over, commenced planting my corn at once as it Was time, placing a sausage in each hill, UDCl 'Well, and what?' 4And felt satisfied that I had made a good job of it. Some days afterwards 1 went out to the field to see how my corn was coming on, and a pretty piece of business 1 have made of trying agricultural experiments.1 'Why, what was the matter?1 Matter! the first thing I saw, before learhinir the field, was thed?st lot of dogs digging and scratching all over it. There were my <logs, and your dogs, and all the neighbors1 dogs, besides about three hundred strange dogs I never set eyes on before, and every one was hard at it, mining after the buried sausages.? Somehow or other the rascally whelps had scented out the business, and they have dug up every hill by this t ime.
