An AnecdOte Of Hill am. woodrufl.

The following story of him was
told the writer by an eyewitness :
One fine afternoon Hiram was driy.

ingdale road, New York, when he
suddenly drew up, and requesting
him 70 hold the reins for moment,
jumped from the trotting- wagon,
and accosting the driver of a dirt.
cart the following colloquy en-
sued: "Will you sell your horse ~
yes" "How much2" sTwenty.fye
dollars."- "There's, your money;
tie him up behind my wagon
"Ah!" said Hiram patting the old
horse with the utmost feeling, while
his voice took most tender key,
"old Ajax, have you come to thisf-.
a dirt cart. Il have had too many
good times behind you, old chap,to
stand that; no one ever took you
down to wagon. While | have a
dollar you shan'tl want a peck of
oats or pasture.n True to his
word, we soon stopped at wayside
inn and sold Ajax" was given in
charge, with many injunctions to be
kind to the sold hoss." Nothing
gave us the dust coming home, and
Hiram's voice never sounded with
more inspiring cheer than after
what | call his noble act. Many
will remember Ajax as one of the
greatest rcadsters ever among u.s.,
He was for SOON time the proper

The Hanging of Mrs. Surratt.

The controversy between Butler
and Bingham is acting like charm
in opening closed lips, and disclos-
ing the hitherto consealed opinions
of candid Republicans as to the
taking-off Of Mrs. Surratt. The
Mac -a-check Press, we'll known,
talented and spicy Republican jour
nal, makes the following confess
sion: .......... ..,..t.. -..,.
"Nearly year since, after a pain
tul reading Of the so-called evidence
in the celebrated conspiracy trail,
we called attention to the fact that
Mrs. Surratt had been hanged with
out proof of guilt. So We
hold that no thoughtful mind can
read the published proceedings of
that shocking affair and not shud-
der over its results" H .a n,
How is the American charact ter
to be relieved of the stain upon it
by the murder of Mrs. Surratt, by
Holt, Stanton & Co.? That is q
question every citizen feels as
much interest in as he does in sus-
tanning the good name of the moth
er that bore him. Enquirer.

Singular Phenomenon.

There arrived here yesterday
morning, as we learn, one of the
most singular animals, probably,
that ever was brought into the
world. 1t has but one body and
two heads, one being that of a calf
and the other that of a mule colt.
The calf part, or side, nas split
hoofs, whereas the mule part has a
round hoof like the horse. Both
heads partake of food and yet it
has but one stomach. 1t is the
product of Bourbon county, KY, is
apparently about six months old,
and is quite healthy. Mr.. Roebel,
the owner, and who is now on his
way to the Paris Exhibition with
it, has placed it in, ALI. Cutters
stable, on Ninth street, where, it
will remain to-day and perhaps to.
morrow, Tits certainly the most
singular phenomenon the world
ever sawAT0m. Enq. s1s4aq ylish

Honor thy PaarIyennltss..

AS a stranger went into the
churchyard of a pretty village, he
beheld' three children at a newly
made grave, A boy. about ter
years Of age, was busily engaged
in placing plants of turf about it
while a girl, who appeared a veal
or two younger, held in her apron
few roots Of wild flowers. The
third child, still younger, was sit
ting on the grass, watching with
thoughtful look the movements Of
the other two. The girl soon be.

when the stranger addressed them.
"Whose grave, is this, children,
about which you are SO busily en-.
gaged" -.

'And did your father send you to
place these flowers around your
mothers graves'
mo, sir, father lies here too, and
little Willie and sister, Jane.'
when did they dep
Mother was buried a fortnight
yesterday, sir, but father died last

Then who told you to do this.'
Nobody SIR replied the girl.
Then why do you do itP ....
They appeared at a loss for an
answer, but the stranger looked SO
kindly at them that at length the
eldest replied, as the tears started
in his eyes:
ooh, we love them, sirp
Then you put these grass turfts
and wild flowers where your par
ents lie because you love themg
Yes, SIR they all eagerly replied.
What can be more beautiful than
such an exhibition as children hon

forget the dear parents who loved
and cherished you in your infant
days. But remember their paren-
