Tho Bed Book.

Easland has her Blue Book; the French
have their Liurejsune-'.yellow book" and
Austria, once or twice year, publishes an
official volume, containing ell the dis
patches that emansted from the foreign
Office, since the date of the book last pub
lished. These semi-snnusl volumes are
known under tho name Of the cred Book"
Such q volume has been issued recently
under the auspices Of the able and versatile
premier, Baron Won Bsust, statesman
second to none on the continent Of Europe,
unless indeed Bismarck may claim higher
plane. What gives fictitious interest to
this Bed Book is that the distinguished
Premier condesoends to play author in good
earnest, and in the introduction to his red
book passes in review the remarks and
criticisms made upon the previous volume
by the foreign press, or in the unoficially
reported utterances Of foreign cabinets.
This, surely, is something new under the
sun-more Democratic than the much
vaunted "ministerisl responsibility" in
England, or the inordinately long arsu-
&ents that are periodically put upon the
people Of these United States, in the guise
Of Presidents messages.
We learn from this introduction that
some of the foreign powers, whose ''notes"
have been presented to the public under
these auspices, have expressed great dis
satisfaction, and not altogether without
reason, alleging that no such publicity wac
contemplated when said "notes" were
drawn. To this Voa Beust laconically and
bravely, replies that the Austrian monarchy
will not be in the least hurt il other gov.
ernments should be equally frank about
their policy.
incidentally We have here also an evi
dence of the great strides made during the
past two years by this ancient nation to.
ward true representative government.
In answering the charge that the Red Book
was only published to tease their neigh
boys, Count Beust says that if any govern
ment is justi6sble in publishing something
Of this kind, it is the Austro' Hungarian
monarchy; for its foreign policy is always
discussed in full Parliament, but en- account
Of the dualistic organization in tc de;ega-
tions sent by the two Parlis Il n,s, su in
sight into the management Of fSreign
affairs must needs be given to these bodies
who have to pass the estimates for wer al d
foreign affairs. II IS the daiy of the nib;s.

A Cool CuS Stomer.

There are some cool people in the
world, us the reader is aware. One
of our restaurant keepers encoun-
tered one few nights since. 1t
happened in this wise:
a lathy fellow entered one of our
restaurants and ordered a double
stew Of oysters. The man who kept
the establishment was a small, red
headed individual, evidently very
high tempered. He prepared the
stew in quick time, and the lathN
fellow sat down to his repast, and
ate with IN enviable relish after
which he selected first class cigar,
and RECALLED himself with II mug of
foaming ale, sitting. with his feet
tilted upon the top of the stove.
He was very deliberate and perfect
ly self,possessed. After the cigar
had mostly disappeared in smoke, he
called for his bill.
SiXty-fve cents. said the pro-
prietOr.
How is that p asked the Gus
toner.
Fifty cents for the double stew,
and fifteen cents for the cigars.
'You forgot the ale, remarked the
lathy fellow, looking quite serious
All yes, that is ten cents more
-soventytive cents.
'Well, am ready to pay for it.
The red headed man made no re
ply, and the lathy fellow kept his
seat. After few minutes, during
which time the cigar was finished
he again spoke:
| tell you Pm ready to pay my
bill
well pay it then said the pro-
prietor.
i haint got any money!
Haint got any money, repeated
the man of refreshments,
Not a burned cent.
The red headed man chOkcd a

Then how do you expect to pay
your bill =
Well, I'll tell you; III stand

CUNNING OF THE FOX.-A hun
ter who was one morning keeping
watch in the forest saw u fox max
ing his approach toward the stump
of an old tree. When sufficiently
near he took high and determined
Jump Oh to the top of it, and after
looking round q while, hoped to the
ground again. After Reynard had
repeated this knightly exercise sew
eral times, he went his way but soon
returned to the spot, bearing a pretty
heavy piece of dry oak in his mouth,
and thus burdened, as it would seem
for the purpose Of testing his vault
ing powers, he renewed his leaps on
to the stump. After a time. how
ever,and when he found that weight.
ed as he was he could make the as.
cent with facility, he deslsted from
further efforts, dropped the piece of
wood from his mouth, and coiling
himself upon the top of the stump,
remained motionless rs if dead. -
At the app oach of evening an old
SOW and her progeny, five or six in
number, issued from II neighboring
thicket, and pursuing their usual
track, passed near to the stump in
question. Two of her sucklings
followed somewhat behind the rest,
and just as they ncared his ambush,
Michel, with the rapidity of thought,
darted down from his perch upon
one of them, and i'll the twiLkling
ofan eye, bore it i'll triumph to the
fastness he had so providcntially
prepared beforehand. Contounded
at the shrieks of her offspring, the
old SOW returned in fury to the spot,
and until late in the night made re.
pcated desperate attempts to storm
the murderer's stronghold; but the
fox took the matter coolly, and de-
voured the pig under the very nose
of its mothcr.-Ndturdiist in Nor

For some time there have been
lurking in the neighborhood of Har.
risburg two wild or insane men.
They cut the throats of horses, cut
off the ears of animals, and would
allow no human being to approach
them. The other day one of tho
men was surrounded in the woods,
and though he defended himself
with n fence rail he was, after %
struggle, captured. He was bare
headed, barefoot, and without coat.
He refused to speak, would MT tell
his name, nor answer any question
that was asked. He refused to eat +,
and showed such violence in manner
that he was transferred to :. custO-
dy of the sheriff, and lodgeu in tho
County Jail. He gave tho building
u close examination, seemed familiar
with locks and cells, and tried tho
strength of the bars. His inspec-
tion concluded, he proceeded to
trounce one of the prisoners in tho
hall with u broom. This was n two.
handed game, in which t he un-
known much to his astOnishment,
came out second best. He was
finally locked in u cell, much against
his will, refusing before this how.
ever, to touch meat or drink. Once
in the cell, he commenceh opera
tions on the bed, threw of the bed
clothes, and finally tho mattrass,
stretching himself on the iron bed.

A PACIEiC RAILROAD RUNAWAY.
AT Echo the other evening, three
freight trains stood upon the main
track when word came flashing over
the telegraph from the supcrin.
tcndcnt, a locomotive and tender,
with steam up and with nobody on
board, have broken from a freight
train and started down the grade.
All ! then and there was hurrying
