That Little Lamb Again.

A BEAUTIFUL young damsel, who de-
lighted in the rare and euphOneous ap-
pellation of Mary, possessed diminutive
creature Of the genus lam kinus, whose
capillary appendage was as white as parti-
Giles of CONCEALED moisture commonly call
ed snow. Everywhere that Mary pere-
grinated, the little quadruped was inclin-
ed to accompany her. He followed her to
the Literary Institution one day, pro-
ceeding Numerically opposed to the rules
thereof for it melted the members of the
youthful generation to loud ordinations
and frolicsome infantile gambols, to see
one of the genus lam kinus where only the
genus homo were accustomed to congregate
Then the pedagogue unanimously exclud-
ed and communicated him, but still he
fingered in the vicinity Of those hallowed
precincts, in patient waiting until his Wis
ual organs were gladdened by the appear
ance Of the aforesaid Mary. Then with
out delay he propelled himself rapidly to-
ward her, and trustingly laid his phreno-
logical developments upon the prolonga-
ton of her shoulder, as If to say: IL am
no longer faint-hearted. Who's afraid

during performance, Mrs. Merrywood sat
him in chair in q safe place, and enjoined
upon him not to move from it until she

In this particular theatre the dressing

the actresses had had some scenes stood
up, like screens, behind which they dress

Captain Brown was utterly ignorant of

ocean gave way; it was touch-and-go with
everthing-scenes, chairs, man, stage, baby,

lay waving his feet in air and crying for
help, for the baby had been thrown three
feet off and buried under hill Of canvas
and Brown on top of all. The child's
screams struck terror to the heart of its
mother on the stage, plighting her virgin
troth to the youth at her side, who felt for
her, being a family man himself. With an

AnecdOte Of Webster.

A CORRESPONDENT at Galveston, Texas,
sends the following to HNper's Monthly .
In looking over notebook of my
fathers written many years ago, l came
across an anecdote, which, if 1t has never
appeared in print before is too good to be
lost. While John Branch, of North
Carolina, was General Jackson's Secretary
of the Navy, he, Tazwell, and Daniel
Webster were walking on the north bank
of the Potomac, at Washington. Tazwell,
willing to amuse himself with Branch's
simplicity said, Branch, I'll bet you a
ten-dollar hat that can prove tnat you
are on the other side of the river"
"Done," said Branch"
"Well," said Tazwell, pointing to the
opposite shore, isn't that one side of the
river9"

"Then as you are hero are you not on

"Why, / declare" said poor Branch,

Webster had Jagged behind, but now
came up, and Branch accOsted him:

that can prove that you are on the other
side of the river"

Baseball Statistics.

No less than sixteen kinds of balls are

ehfldren's or fancy ball, and prices vary
from SIS to IS cents dozen, Some half
dozen regular manufactures of base balls
alone, exist In this city, the largest produc.
ing Just now seventy five dozen balls per
diem. The town Of Natick, however, in
Massachusetts, is the greatest ball man
ufactory perhaps in the world, many humid
reds of people being employed in produc-
ing these articles, and 1t il not uncommon
for houses in this line Of business TO order
thence 5000 balls at . time. Their man
ufacture entails no thing Of very special
interest, the inside being Of wound rubber,
and the Wrapping Of wooden yarn, save
that the winding Of the yarn around the
ball Is principally done by men. One
would suppose from the nicely shaped
spheres women make when winding up
worsted, they would be most adapted to
this kind of work, but 1t seems TO require
certain amount of physical strength
which the weaker sex 10 not endowed with.

A Monkey Story.

Monkey stories are innumerable. One
occurred, however, lately, In the city,
which is amusing as developing the pecu.
liar traits of the animal We met friend
Of ours, whose expression Of face was in
dicative of the greatest sorrow. You
know Sancho," he said, my monkey 2"
We assented "Weil, listen. Christmas
week somebody gave my little girl one of
those fearful toys called jack .in:a-box. 1t
was an awful thing, fully two feet high.
The monkey saw it. When the child went
to bed was busy reading, when all Of q
sudden heard the most awful noise in the
next room. / rushed in, and on top Of q
chest Of drawers lay Sancho, In regular

side of him. He had stolen il from where

his terror thought his curiosity had been

box had an awful fascination for that mon

effect on his health It became too much

liant he must have, cost what II would.
Some few days ago he began 70 NOPE,

more to us than any OF the British possess
sions on this continent, except Canada. II
the commission can settle the Alaba ANA claims
by cediDg to us large section of territory,
especially that portion of Western British
North America that will enable US to COM
mand the entire Pacific coast, we believe that
the arrangement will be entirely satisfactory
to the people of the United States but it is
certainly bad policy, at least for Sena-
tors, to declare that they will
not agree to any settlement
but this. In all our negotiations with Great
Britain heretofore we have yielded far more
than we ought, and there is scarcely doubt
that the y-four-fortY-o -or-fght controversy
would have been settled entirely in our favor
if we had obstinately determined to carry our
point. 1t will not do, however, to play
losing game this time, and any bargain that
may be effected between the commissioners
about to sit at Washington must insure us
good measure, or it will not be accepted by
the people. 1t is not worth our while in this
affair to yield anything for the sake of main
tanning friendly relations with Great Britain;
and as Great Britain has been the aggressor,
so must she expect to pay the penalty. 1t is
neither proper nor diplomatic, however, for
the United States or any of its representatives
to declare that they will only agree to one
form of settlement, and such expressions as
are credited to Senator Sumner will be
far more likely to prevent than to aid
in the negotiation of treaty that will bring
a number of unpleasant controversies be-
tween the United States and Great Britain to
an advantageous conclusion. While we have
right to exact heavy damages for the in
juries we have suffered, and while it is not
worth our while to make any settlement that
will not be entirely to our advantage, it GER
tainly is desirable that our difficulties with
Great Britain should be definitely concluded;
and as the appointment of the commission
has given satisfaction. on both sides of the
Atlantic, it should be allowed to perform its
duties without any unnecessary embarrass-
ment.

THE PA YMENT OF THE ALABAMA
CLAIMS

RUMoRs from Washington intimate with more
or less exactness that there is strong dispo-
sition among certain members of Congress
not to accede to any settlement of our diff
culties with Great Britain which does not in
clude surrender to the United States of at
least large slice of the British territory upon
this continent. MIR. Sumner especially is said
to have become remarkably enthusiastic upon
this point, and to be more than ever disposed
to push his theory of sentimental damages to
q practical conclusion. 1t is only few weeks
ago that Mr.. Sumner, with considerable
vehemence, declared that we already had more
territory than we know what to do with, and
that it was folly to attempt the acquisition of
more. circumstances, however, alter cases
with Mr.. Sumner, as they do with most men.
Then he was endeavoring to defeat the an
nexation of San Domingo, which is a pet
project with President Grant, who had refused
to retain Mr.. Summers protege Motley as
Minister at the British court. Besides this
San Domingo would be Southern acquisi-
ton, and MIR. Sumner has never forgiven the
South for slavery sufficiently for him to look
with favor upon any project that might pos
sibly add anything to Southern strength. II
we except Vancouvers Island, however, and
the territory in the immediate neighoorhood
OF Puget Sound, which the Northern Pacific
Railroad has greatly enhanced in value, San
