 THE SONG.
 Mary Lincoln-Mary Lincoln
 Sweetest-sweetest-
 Won't you wait for Bobby Lincoln
 Don't you see-don't you see
 Bobby Lincoln-satin pantaIoons
 And summer jacket
 Tackle too-tackle too-Mary Lincoln
 No; so fast-not so fast
 I'd follow thee-round about clover top,
 And dock-weed, and applet tree
 Bobby Lincoln never lets Mary Lincoln
 Cad about alone with Harry Hanse-muckle
 Nor shall she marry Michael Mangel- -wurtzel.
 DEATH OF THE ELECTRICAL ELL-The only electrical eel ever in Europe, died a short time since in England. A London paper says:
 "The cause of its death was modification. It was brought to this country from one of the many tributaries of the Amazon, about four years ago. and was the only one of its kind in Europe. Its structure was very sin gular. The seat of the electric power lay behind the shoulder and tail, and between the head and shoulder. Its food was small fish, which it could stun and stupify by an electric shock at two feet distance. It al- ways stunned and supplied the fish before it eat them. The most interesting and beau- tiful experiment performed by its electrici- ty was in setting fire to piece of silver pa- per in a glass cylinder. One end of con- ductor was attached to the paper and the other to the eel, and by this means the pa per was burnt. It was necessary that the eel should be irrtated before it would send forth electricity. It was young when bt fOr time before it's death.
