A KNes SKIN TANNED AND STUFFED.-Vale-
rian, Emperor of Rome was taken prisoner, and
afterwards kept in chains b. Sapor, King OF
Persia. He was either killed in tumut or by
order of his onqueror-fearful, perhaps, OF
losing his valuable living trophy, in the year 2G9.
The body of the dead Roman Emperor was
skinned, and the hide, after being tanned, was
stuffed, painted red, and suspended in the Chief
temple of the capital. Here it remained for ma
nv years. 1t was the popular spectacle for holi-
day makers and visitors from the country. But
it was put to more important ends thai this; it
was made diplomatic engine Of much signiti-
cance and efficiency. In after times it often
happened that the Roman ENJOYS at the Persian
Court had misunderstanding more or less seri.
ous, with the government to which they were
temporarily accredited. When these ambassa
dors from Rome grew arrogant in their demands
it was the custom to conduct them into the pres
ence of the stuffed skin of the old ex-Emperor %
Rome, where they were asked if humility die
not become them at the sight of such spectacle

A BRIGHT RUsrIc.-A few days since a coun-
tryman came to town at Lowell. Mass, and go
ing to the post office with bank bill, called Tor
dollars worth of postage stamps. The clerk
wanted specie, and he hestraightway returned with
four Spanish quarters,and these being also deni-
ed admttance, except at discount, he came Il
third time with hundred coppers aud very
copperish look of exultation. Being informed
by the official behind the window that coppers
were not legal tender to larger extent than
three cents at time the man from the rural
districts coolly purchased single stamp and
repeated the operation till his persecntor caved
and took in the remaining cents in lump,much
to the internal satisfaction of the individual out
side.

PASSING THE BABY RouSD.-Babies are

PASSING TIE BABY RoUND.-Babies are very
useful at times. The other day at Chicago, a
crowd was in the Marshal's office, where that
good natured official was selling wood to the
poor "Stand back all of you, and let the wo
man with baby have a chance!" The crowd
complied and again and again, woman after
woman, each with babe in her iarms, kept
pressing forward to the desk. The Marshal
took it coolly for while; but finally the infant
began to assume familiar look, and an exami-
nation was had, when it turned out that the
mother was lending her baby to her acquain-
tances to secure for them the immunities which
the herself enjoyed.

Home Opera.

Since the night when Ike went to the opera
he has been, as Mrs. Partington says, as crazy
as bed bug and the kind old dame has been
fearful lest he should become "non pompus

the breakfast table, Ike reached over his and

"Will you, will you. Mrs. p
Help me to cup of tea?"
The old lady looked at him with surprise, his
conduct was so unusual, and for moment she
hestated. He continued in more impassioned
strain:
"Do not, do not keep me waiting,
Do not pray, be hesltating,
am anxious to be drinking,
So pour out as quick as winking."
She gave him the tea with sigh, as she saw
the excitement in his face. He stirred it in 81
lence and in his abstraction took three spoon
fus of the sugar But at last he sung again:
liable cloths and cups and saucers,
Good white bread and active jaws, srs,
Tea-gunp Jwder and souchong-
Sweet enough but not too strong;
Bad for health to eat hot biscuit,
But III risk it-butterll fix it,"

Partington, tenderly;
