+ A FITTING REILLY TO BASE PARAGRAPA-
The first paragraph quoted below is from the
New York Tribune: 4
The Princess Alice Of England is tall,
gawkish girl, with the dali, leaden eye and pale,
sensual cheek, which are peculiar to the
Gueiphs. She has lately been reported to have
exhibited considerable industry and skill in the
maDufacture of mits for. the wounded Grimean
heroes but she had never previously been
accused Of. an aptitude even for the Iaost ordi-
nary female accomplishments.
To which the Herald replies: 's =
The yodng girl who is here asssiled with such
brutal ferocity was born on the 18th April
1913. The Tribune, par excellence the organ
Of Humanity, the advocate of more kindly
brotherhood amongst men, is nevertheless ready
to lend its columns to this species Of Arab gal
lantry, which strikes down what is most de-
fenceless. How generous atid noble it is in an
American press to assault the character and
rhisrepresent the attributes Of . young girl Of
twelve summers, who has, not q friend within
three Thousand miles of the assailant! The
Tribune exhaustsits humanity in its defence or

"A. SISGULAR RELIC. We were shown, on
Saturday, by Col. Ogle, of this county, small
copper tobacco bog, about two by six inches
The history Of this box is interesting When
William Penn first began the settlement of Phil
,adelphia, he gave IL to an Indian, chief as a
present. The box was perfectly plain. Long
afterwards it was procured from the Indian by
a white man, when it was discovered to be
rudely carved all over One part of it represents
Penn treating with the Indians, and the figures
Of Indians are scattered in many places The
carving has evidently been done with sharp
stone-the cuts seem to be scratched outs Itis
q living illustration of the artistic skill of the
aborigines The boz has been in the possession
Of the family Of Col, Ogle for over one hundred
years. lTerre Haute lnd } Express
: Ala ANCIENT FROG ~ James Crabtree, pit
sinker to Messrs .Ackroyd, of Bufkinshaw Bot
tom, in sinking pit at Morley, near Leeds,
recently found alive frog. in the centre Of o
large coal, two hundred and thirty feet below the
surface, considerably below the Morley tunnel,
to which it is close adjoining, The frog is still
very lively When found it was very dark in
COLOR, but is becoming like theSoommon, every
day species The eyes are very bright, and
surrounded with gold ring. 1t has four claws
on its fore feet, and five (web -footeo) on the
hind feet. Its mouth is closed, OF firmly shut,
but it has two vents, apparently nostrils, on the
top of its nose. The seam Of coal from which it
was disinterred was saturated with water and
probably from this circumstance, combined
with close confinement, it had been enabled to
sustain its half f-torpid life through countless
ages. Leeds tEng Mercury. ,s r.
USE OF A NOSE. "A good story is told Of Mo-
zart, at the time he was pupil Of Haydn. The
latter chaler ged his pupil to compose piece Of
music which he could not play at sight. Mozart
accepted the banter, and champagne supper
was to be the forfeit. Every thing being ar
ranged between the two composers, Mozart took
his pen and sheet of paper, and in five minutes
dashed off piece of music, and much to the
surprise of Haydn, handed it to him, saying:
"There is piece of. music, sir, which you
cannot play, and / can; you are to give. the first
trial.
Haydn smiled contemptuously OF the vision
ary presumption of his pupil, and placing the
notes before him, struck the keys Of the instru-
ment. Surprised at its simplicity, he dashed
away until he reached the middle of the piece,
when stopping all at once, he exclaimed:
elbows this, Mozart' How's this Here my
hands are stretched out to both ends OF piano,
and yet there is q middle key to be touched
Nobody can play such music-not even the COM
poser himself"
Mozart smiled at the half excited indignation
and perplexity of the great master, and taking
the seat he had quilted, struck the instrument
with such an air of self assurance that Haydn
began to think himself duped. Running along
thesimple passages he came to that part which
his teacher had pronounced impossible to be
played Mozart, as any body is aware, WAS IA
vored, or at least endowed with an extremely
long nose, which, in modern dialect, "stuck out
a bout a feet" Reaching the difficult passage
hes stretched both hands to the extreme ends
of the piano, and leaning forward bobbed hit
nose against the middle key, which nobody
could play"
Ha yd,, burst into an immoderate fit of laugh
ter, alNd after acknowledging theFsscorn,' de-
elared that nature had endowed Mozart with 4
canacity for, music which he had never befor,
discovered
