EDITOR CHRONICLE A stranger
in walking through HaZle-Green
Cemetery, Wis, would never know
that the grave of Percival was there,
for no head-stOne marks the spot I;
nothing but small yew-tree stands
there, which, year after year, chants a
low lullaby to the dead. Within
the immediate vicinity of the village,
it may be known that the remains OF
the Poet and GeOlogist lie there.
Otke,s would never suspect the fact
from any sign Of respect paid them.
Some years ago such a thing as .
monument OF minerals was spoken OF
which were to be cemented together
and finished up into one stone to be
set over his grave. His political works
are in two volumes, published by
the house of Fields, OsgOOd & Co., OF
Boston, who published his reports
also, you know.
Now there is heard the deepest sigh,
Where su nmeT sea show waves OF flowers
And softer sings the lull-a-bys
When dewy tears fall in bright shows.
Up to this time, the snow has scarce
" covered the ground, a splendid
time to introduce the theory that we
feel the effect of the warm winds Oi
the Pacific by the way of OrigOn
when our prairie blasts withdraw
their bite for a while. The farmer
here now wears q smiling face; is
getting for his wheat crop Sl.O5 pei
bushel, though flour is only $3.50 pei
barrel. Hard times crOakers are
among the doctors only.

Inlmal On thI, Continent.


A gentleman who came down on
the Farragut from Fort Buford, says
the Sioux City Times, gives US the
following information regarding
species Of animal hitherto unknown
on this continent:
Sir John E. Paekenham, an otiicer
in the English army, who has Deeh
spending the last year in Her MaleS-
ty's northern provinces, arrived at
Fort .BufOrd with an animal OF rare
beauty, and never before caught on
this continent, nor has Is been known
till late years that this species existed
in this country. It is Of the same
family Rs the giraffe, or camel leopard
OF Africa, and ia known to naturalists
IS the Tygomelia. They are known
TO inhabit the high table lands OF
Cashmere and HindOO ROsh, but are
more frequently seen on the high
peaks Of the Himalaya Mountains
The animal was taken when quite
young, and is thoroughly dOmestiea-
ted and follows its keeper like dog.
It Is only four months old, and Ordi-
nArily stands about five feet high, but
il capable Of raising its head two feet,
which makes the animal seven feet
when standing erect. 1t Is Of a dark
brown or mouse color, large projecting
eyes, with slight Indications Of horns
growing out. This wonderful animal
was caught north Of Lake Athabusea,
on the waters Of McKenzie's river. lt
has a craW similar to the pelican, BY
which means it can carry subsistence

EDITOR CHRONICLE;-Wh L am
glad to hear of the success Of Dana $
Musical institute, and hope it may
continue to prosper, yet there are 9TH
ers in the county that l think are
worthy Of commendatiOn. such a
one 1 had the pleasure of visiting a
short time ago and spent an evening
very pleasantly seeing how the Pro-
fessor conducted the classes, and list
ening to the vocal and instrumental
music.
The music hall is of modest dimen-
sions, only two floors. The first floor
is-well, the first floor is a porch. The
second floor has two rooms; the first
one is where the gentlemen practice
whistling, &c. The ladies have one
end Of this room which they use
when distributing mlttens to the
"boys." The second room is the mu-
sic hall, and here is where the classes
are taught vocal music and the culti-
vatinn of the voice, and where the
students ''get an ear for music 1
didn't learn who furnished the cars
The music hall is lighted with lamps,
candles and the eight of the ladies'
eyes,r which gives il very brilliant
appearance. (The gas is only used
by the students when in converse
tion.l The first thing that attracts
the visitors attention in the music
hall is the organ. II is different from
some organs. / guess it is better than
the common mouth organ for accom-
panving vocal music,-it is not in the
way of the voice. Somebody must
have made blunder as the organ was
furnished with "stOps,n but no starts.
The school finally got around that
difficulty by having a young lady 10
start il. do not think it is the best
organ in the country, but there is
something attractive about 1.-THE
Young Lady that starts it guess.
L found il interesting to watch the
base and tenor sound "DO;" they
would suddenly disappear behind
large holes, out OF which rushed the
sound Do-O-o, with a noise strikingly
resembling q locomotive whistle I;
perhaps not so loud, but more musi-
cal. Ii was different with the soprano
and alto in taking the key, there be-
ing a kiss me if you daren expression
to the mouth, very tempting to an old
bachelor.
Another thing worthy OF notice is
the number OF pretty girls with sweet
sounding names, or else it is the num-
ber of sweet sounding girls with pref
x names. / am not sure which. l
don't know as the music would be
equally interesting to a blind man.
''It has 10 be seen to be appreciated y
l think I'll 90 again. Mr.. Editor, if
you would like 10 go with me, come.
