liberty, and used to run all over the aouse OF
his master, to whom he seemed muct a..Sch-

in his left, when be felt light pam in his
left hand and on attempting to raise it, was
checked by low growl from his pet animal
On looking down, be saw the leopard had
been licking the back of his hand, and lad by
degrees drawn little blood from it, The
leopard would not allow the removll Of the
hand, but continued to lick 1t with apparent
relish, which did not much please biz master,
who with great presence of mind, without at
tempting to disturb his pet in his pro eadings,
called to bis servant to bring him pistol
loaded, with which he shot the animal dead
on the spot. This was probably the first time

HON to Foreteli the weather.

In manual of the barometer, compiled by
Rear Admiral Fitzroy, and just published by
the Liverpool Board of Trade the following
useful observations occur:
Whether clear Or cloudy, d rosy sky at sunset
denotes fair weather. red sky in the morn
ing bad weather, or wind perhaps rain; a
high dawn, wind, and low dawn, fair
weather. Soft looking or delicate clouds
foretell fne weather, with moderate and light
breezes; hard edged, gloomy, blue sky, indi-
Gates foe weather. Generally, the softer
clouds look the less wind, but perhaps, more
rain may be expected; and the harder, more
greasy rolled, tufted or ragged, the stronger
the coming wind will prove Also, bright
yellow sky at sunset, presages wind; pale
yellow, wet, and thus, by the prevalence Of
red, yellow, or gray tints, the coming weather
may be told very nearly; indeed, if aided by
instruments, almost exactly. Small, inky
looking clouds foretel rain; like scud clouds
driving across masses, show rain and wind;
but, if alone, may indicate wind only
High upper clouds, crossing the sun, moon
or stars, in directi.n different from the lower
clouds, of the wind then felt below, foretell a
change of wind. When sea birds fly out early
and far to seward, moderate wind and fair
weather may be expected. When they hang
about the land or over it, sometimes flying
inland, expect,a strong wind with stormy
weather.
There are other signs of coming change IN
the weather known less generally than may
be desirable, and are therefore, WORTHY Of no
tice;'such as when birds Of long flights--rooks,
swallows and others--hang about home and
fly up and down, or low, rain and wind may
be expected. Also when animals seeks
sheltered places, instead of spreading over
their usual range, when smoke from chimneys
does not ascend readily, or straight upward
during cain, an unfavorable change is
probable.
Dew is an indication. Of hne weather; So is
fog. Neither Of these formations occur under
an overcast sky, or whom there is much wind
One sees fog occasionally rolled away. as it
were, by wind, but seldom or never formed
while it is blowing.

A Hint to Lovers Of Flowers.

A most beautiful and easily attained SHOW
OF evergreens may be had by a very simple
plan, which has been found to work remark
ably well on small scale. If ge-apium
branches, taken from luxuriant and aealthy
trees, just before the winter sets in, be cut as
for slips, and immersed in soap water, they
will, after dropping few days. she'd their
leaves, put forth fresh. ones, aud coutinl in
the finest yigor all winter. By placing a
number of bottles thus filled in flower bas

As an attache to wel-known dry goods
concern in Chestnut street for years past has
lived large mastiff. He was a faithful watch
dog, known to every regular habitue Of
the store for his gentleness by day, and to
every one who tapped at the closed doors after
dark by his vigilance at night. .e
The animal, however, grew helpless and
toothlsss, from age and suffered additionally
from that scoufge to caninity, commonly
known as the mango. The life of the quad
ruped became to him q burden, and very re-
luctantly the firm adopted the advice of q
discerning farrier, and released the age-ridden
animal from all further suffering from his
many infrmaities. .t.s
This being done, the disposal of his body
was question. There was no chance to in.

move it, nor could anybody be found who
would undertake its intermsnt. An effectua
expedisnt was adopted. In a snug packing
case the body was carefully laid, and with
straw and broken bricks the case was filled
The lid was nailed on, and the box marked
with the address of A. L. Stewart g. Co., New

The Connecticut Election.
The New York papers, of Tuesday, says
the " Phnnix," bring us the latest reliable
returns from the Connecticut election. The
result shows great gains for the Democratic
party BUCKINGHAM, the last Republican
Governor, was elected by 1900, while HAw-
LEY, the newly elected radical Governor, it is
estimated, will only have 700 majority. Be-
sides this gain of more than 10000 on the
popular vote, there have been substantial gains
in the Legislature, viz: eight or nine Sena-
tors and from fifteen to seventeen Representa-
tives This shows the radicals to be falling
party, and indicates return to good sense and
sound policy on the part of the people.

was made from the Reconstruction Committee,

says so far as he knows the desire of the peo-
ple of the South is for the restoration of civil
Government, and they look upon the policy Of
the President as the one which would most
clearly and surely re-estabish it:
Dun village, on last Saturday night, was
the scene of disgraceful disturbance. Some
soldiers belonging to the garrison went through
the principle streets, hootng and shouting and
firing arms, to the great alarm of the women
and children. Thcy set fire to the house ofa wo-.
man named Kate Lewis, n courtczan and to the
building used as schoolroom for freed people,
Great fears were entertained that they would
set fire to the town, and, indeed, we narrowly
escaped that danger, for, had the Masonic
Hall, which stands contiguous to the old
soioolroom, caught, the principle. part of tho
building on the public square could not have
been saved. The spite of tho soldiers yeemcd
directed especially to the freed people, several
Of whom were beaten quite severely.
