The GOOd-Natured Bear.

There are many species Of bears-the
brown bear, the black bear, the grizzly bear,
and the white polar bear. They are found
in every quarter of the world, and their
habits differ much, according to their species
and to the climate where they live. Some
of them are flesh-eating animals wild and
furious. Some feed partly on fish, as the
polar bear many feed mostly on vegetables
are very fond Of honey, and though they
rob the wild bees, do not often attack men,
and are, on the whole good-natured animals.
In one Of the valleys which divide Europe
from Asia, there lived an infrm old woman
Her COW, on whose milk she chiefly depended,
had strayed from the pasture, and was no.
where to be found Leaving her cottage at
the dawn Of the morning the old woman set
/ forth in search of the truAnt. After ram
bling up the valley for many hours, almost
weary of the chase, she at length caught
glimpse of dark skin lying in tls grass
among the bushes. Angry at the trouble the
creature had given her, she aimed shower
of blows with her birchen staff, at the animal
she supposed to be her cow, but Of whom
she had peep through the leaves. Up
jumped the creature, turned sharply round

eyes-a large brown bear
The two stood gazing at each other for
moment, when Bruin, as if seized with sud-
den fear, turned and made off. Not far
from the same place, two children, one four
and the other six years old, strayed away
from their friends who were hay-making-
In the course Of their rambles they came
upon bear lying on the grass, and not hay-
ing learned to fear him, went up to play
with him. He eyed them good-humoredly,
aud made no objection when they erawled over
him and mounted on his back. Probably he
had feasted and was sleepy. In a short time
they were excellent friends, the children es-
pecially being delighted with their playfellow.
The parents missing the children, became
alarmed, and went to look for them. To
their dismay they found one child sitting on
the bears back, and the other feeding him
with fruit. AT their mothers call the chill
dren ran to their parents, and the bear quiet

MoDKRN economy is an expensive
luxury, just examine one specimen
Under Andrew johnson there was a
very clever official, named Cushaw,
who acted as grand usher to the Presi-
dent. For 81, 600 year he consented to
take the whole White House on his
shoulders. For that modest sum he
was content to bear the abuse of count
less visitors and to repay all with uni
form poltteness and courtesy. How is
it under President Grant! There is
Dent, full Brigadier, with salary OF
S, 900 per annum; Crook receiving
81, 900, Brice, likewise, $1,000; young
Douglass $500; Adams mot George
W., but another many, $1,000; and Sim
monds, a gentleman of color, 500 per
month for simply bearing cards of v1s-
itors from the eminently polite Dent to
the Presidents private office. All these
officials combined discharge the duty
which Cushaw monopolized under
President Johnson. In other words, 1t
now requires SIS, $50 to accomplish the
laborious business OF attending the
White House visitors, while II only
cost 81 900 under johnson. There Is
nothing like economy.

A CERTAIN lady of a certain age, and
unfamiliar with modern hotel appli-
ances, went to visit Mrs. b. who was
stopping at the st. James Hotel, Boston.
When she entered a servant appeared,
and she requested him to take her to
Mrs. BPS room, and was shown into
little room, which, to use her own
words, was livery small for such a ca
paclous house." But what was her as
tonishment when the door was closed
and the servant placed his hand upon
the knob7 In a somewhat Rgitate1
frame OF mind she sprang to her feet
and calmly said to the servant, looking
him full in the face. 81 want to be sho wn
to Mrs. B.'s ROOM" Before the words
were out of her mouth she felt very
singular sensation. The very room in
which she was standing appeared to
be moving upwards. Thoughts of the
great evils which are done TO strangers
In our large cities flashed through her
mind, but thinking that one more eff
fort on her part might elicit from him
an answer, she said: "SIr, want to be
shown to Mrs. BPS room" At that mo.
ment the elevator stopped, the door
was opened, and the servant showed
her to Mrs. BIS room, where che was
restored to her former tranquility.
"Sich a gittin' up stairs, }" she said, "she
had never experienced before.

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin writes from Salt Lake
City, under date of May 20:
hear rumors of approaching trouble
between President Young and the
Mormon contractors and the Union
road. The directors are East, safe out
of the reach of arrest, but the road may
be seized by the persons who built 1t.
President Young's patience is nearly
exhausted, and the admitted debt to
him is $500, 900, and the unsettled &C =
counts are $500 900 more. Jennings,
Vice President of the Utah Contra, says
1t is probable all their rails and other
material will come by way ofthe 18TH
mus and San Francisco. The Union g
policy of fighting everybody will prob
ably lead them to threaten the Nor
mons with the abandonment of Ogd en-
station for freight, so as to leave he
Utah Central terminus without any
connection nearer than Deseret, eight
miles on one side, and Oorinne, twenty
nine on the other. Every act of bad
faith by the Union Company makes the
people Of Utah more warm to the friends
of the Central than ever.
fornia business men coming through
here from Chicago, where they have
heard only one side, speak as II Cali
forniR had lost the trade, and 1t is anus
ing to hear MormOns correcting them.
The struggle for the bulk of trade will
not be with Chicago-that is only q
secondary place-but between the two
great ports of the country, New York
and San Francisco. Further, it the
Pacific Mail and the Panama Railroad
Company make their tariffs to suit,
many goods bought in New York by
Mormon houses will be shipped by
way of San Francisco. The average
rate from New York to Ogden is about
nine cents per pound"
