Euticr and his Dog.

The Philadelphia Sunday Times re
lates the following anocdote of the early
days of Ben Butler:
One day, while sitting in his Office,
there entered a long-legged, gaunt,
hatchet=faoed specimen of the genus
Yankee, who looked sharp enough to
make his meals off pins and needles,
and thus accosted the future Congress-
man:
"Mr. Lawyer, am going into a lit
tie law business, and as you seem to
be right stnart, plucky sort OF chap,
I thought | might as well give the job
to You "
"AlI right, says the lawyer, "you
can't trust your case III better hands. "
Well, then, | had IA ham hanging
in an outshed, and a neighbours dog
came along and ate 1T. What would
you do 2"
"Why, prosecute the owner of the
for the damages.
"That's the talk, Mr.. Lawyer" said
the Yankee, with sly smile beginning
to work around the corners of the eyes
and mouth. But, you see-I dom
know as it makes any difference-the
dog was yourn.
Butler opened his eyes little at this
onslaught, hut he wasn't going to be
taken aback in that manner, even by a
brother Yankee.
"What do you value your ham at ~
asking Butler, drawing out his wallet.
"Well, [ guess five dollars will be
letting you off cheap" said the Yankee,
"for it was an alfred good ham,
Without entering word of protest,
Butler paid the money, and then said ::
"There is your damage tor the ham
Now fork over ten doilas.''
What for?' inquired the Yankee,
In his turn astonished
For my legal advice" said Butler.
4" You don't suppose l can work with
out fee, do you?"
Mr.. Yankee was bit; SO, drawing a
face as long as his legs, he slowly
counted out the money, and 1nwardly
vowed he would bring no more law
business before the youthful but razor
like dispenser of Coke and Blackstone.

FRIDAY.
Ingenuity of Animals,

One of the largest of ferocious ami
mails IN South America is the jaguar, a
native tiger, teijS Ohco. Besides being
large and immensely strong. it prac-
tees extraordinary stragetic schemes IN
procuring food. which indicate some
thing above mere Instinct, because cir
cumstances are constantly requiring
some variations in their foraging expe-
ditions for prey. Humboldt says when
they find turtle they adroitly turn it
over on its back 1t is then helpless
and totally unable to offer resistance
in that condition. With the most cruel
manifestation of feline character the
iaguar then leisurely gnaws out the
qr1vering flesh from between the shell
and cdtapace. Another of the jaguar's
reasoning manGuverings is to quietly
follow the margin Of streams. At the
sight of fish near enough to be APP
preached, with quiet dash of its paw
the game is thrown high and dry above
the bank. Fortunately for the country
the jaguar has a match in the great ser
penis that infest tropical America. In
the twinkling of an eye one of these
monsters winds himself round his body
and brushes out life and cracks the
bones into fragments at the same mo-
ment

Affecting Scene.

There was an affecting scene in the
U. $ Court in Montgomery, Alabama,
tue other day, when the defendants in
the case of the United States VS..
Young ct. al, for alleged Ku-kluxing,
were called up for sentence. The YER
dict had hardly been rendered when the
court inquired if the defendants had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced against them. The
old man In calm and manly manner.
free from braggadocio, protested his
innocence of the charge, but as he
referred to his wife and four daughters
dependent on him, now sixty-three
years of age, his voice was broken, and
there was not in the court room manly
hearing but that rung with sympathy
as the picture arose before them of this
aged man in far-of penitentiary, and
his helpless wife and daughters shelter
less and friendless, driven from their
little home, which the $1,000 fine will
cause to be sold, as well as the scanty
little pittance that was all the old man
was enabled to save after long life Of

The British Cabinet.

The cabinet, as we have already said
practically takes the place of, and per-
forms the duties which were formerly
discharged by, the privy council; but
although from long usage it has come
to be considered as an essential part of
the institutions of the country, yet its
existence is not recognized by the law
of the land. There is no official Motif
cation of those who compose it, nor is
there any record of its meeting or of
the business it transacts, and no men,
ton will be found of it in any act of
Parliament It's deliberations are al
ways secret and no one is allowed to
enter the room where it is held during
It's deliberations. It is the duty of the
prime minister, after each cabinet, to
inform the sovereign what has passed,
but none of those who compose it may,
for any purpose, make public what has
occurred in the cabinet without the ex-
press sanction of the crown. Cabinets
are usually held twice week during
the sitting of Parliament, and they are
summoned by the prime minister ia
the following way: Sir,-You are
requested to attend a meeting of Her
Majesty's servants on day, at =
o'clock, at--"-NuutjcoI Magazine.

4 iiad,nan's Agility,

The Bonneville Indiana) Eagle CON
tainS the following account of the ex-
ploits OF a crazy man who escaped, en-
tirely nude, from an attic room to the
roof of the building:
The citizens hockcd to the rescue,
and were soon on the building. Nc
sooner did the maniac discover his pur-
surcrs, than he ran over the building
uimble as squirrel, thence on to the
east portion of Koontz' block, which is
two stories high, and passing rapidly
to the main building, which corners Oh
Fifth and Spring streets, and is three
stories IL height, he first endeavored tc
climb to the roo of the same by way
OF the waterspout, but evidently fear
ing to trust his. weight, lie abandoned
this mode of ascension, and paused
for moment and took q survey of he
building; then, in less time than it
took to pen IT, he jumped upon q win
dow blind, and ran up it with as much
ease as a squirrel can climb tree, and
actually scaled the wall at the top OF
the window. How any human being
could have made the ascent, seems al
most miracle; but crazy William nc
compllshed it, and the exploit was wit
messed by many from the street below.
The citizens now made a rush for the
interior of the main building, and were
soon on tho roof having passed
through the scuttle AS soon as the
the maniac discovered them upon the
roof he ran for the chimney, upward
from the roof six feet. attached to
which was a lightning rod extending
twelve feet above the chimney. He
ran up the lightning rod IN an instant.
and was nearly ut the top when the rod
bent under his weight, and he was sus-
pended IN the air over the side of the
building, hanging by the top of the
rod. The sight was fearful. If he let
loose his hold he would be dashed to
pieces. The streets were filled with
people who looked on the unfortunate
man as doomed to terrible death.
But one avenue was open whereby to
save him.I Captain Henry Mcpherson
hastily procured rope and rushed to
a second story window near where the
victim was hanging, aud by repeated
efforts succeeded in throwing it
around his body, Notwithstanding his
lighting to keep it of, and hauled him
to the window and thus rescued him
A shout went up from the crowd below
rs the maniac was drawn in at the
window. The wife of the unfortunate
man and other relatives witnessed the
terrible sight from the street below; in
painful anguish. After he was rescued
1T took several powerful men to handle
him and put on his clothing. He was,
however, safely secured, and now occu-
pies cell in our county jail, awaiting
the assemblage of our County Court
for an order to send him to the lunatic
asylum at Fulton.

Idle Words.

Once / said,
Seeing two soft starry eyes,
Darkly bright as midnight skies
Eyes prophetic of the power
Sure to be thy womans DOVER
When the years shall crown the queen
OF the realm as yet unseen:
% Sometimes, sweet, those eyes shall make
Lovers mad for their sweet sake :"
Once I said,
Seeing tresses, golden brown,
In bright shower falling down
over neck and bosom fair,
As yon sculptured angels are
Odorous tresses, dropping low
Ger a forehead pure as snow:
" Sometimes, sweet, in thy soft hair,
Love shall set shining snare :"
Once l said,
Seeing lips, whose crimson glow
Mock the roses wet with dew
Warm, sweet Iif,s, whose breath was balm,
Pure, proud lips, gereneiy calm
Tender lips, whose sIuiling grace
Lit with splendor all the face:
- Sweet for kiss of thine some day,
Men Will barter souls away :"
Idly said,
God hath taken care of all,
JOY or pain that might befallt
Lovers lips shall never thrill
At thy kisses, soft and stIll
Lovers heart shall never break
In sore anguish for thy sake
Lovers soul for thee shall know
Not loves rapture, nor its woe.
All is said

English Ballads.

The Pail Mall Gazette quietly OBJ
serves: English music i'll it's simplest
form Is, it seems, to owe the advantage
of not dying out to Italian singers
There are so many English young la
dies who, while ioyfully risking them
selves amid the difficulties of elaborate
Italian cavatinas, would scorn to sing
anything SO vulgar as an English,
Scotch, or Irish ballad, that it is quite
refreshing and slightly amusing to
think of Kathleen Mavourneen' and
Home, Sweet Home, having been
sung by Mdme. Adelina Patti, and
John Anderson my Jo' and Robin
Adair' by Mdlle. Albany at Saturday IS
Floral Hall Concert. The hint offered
is not likely to be taken, and there is,
after all, some advantage to our ma
tional ballads being neglected by ou1
own countrymen, if from their unde-
served obscurity they are now and then
brought into such light as was shed
upon them on Saturday by the vocal
lists Just mentioned

bite, will yer2 Well, bite bite!" and
be pushed the Delaying pin down
Andy's throat until the unfortunate
man choaked and turned black in the
face
You may imagine how great a com
motion was produced by this simple
effort mt sclf-protection. The passen-
ger crew was Immediately divided into
two parties, ono of which sympathized
with Andy, and the other with the
young frontiersman. 1t was determln-
ed by the two sections, after short
but warm discussion, that the two men
must fight it out as soon as Vancouver
should be reached. But to this the
Young fellow objected, unless Andy
could first be muzzled. AS he senten-
tiously remarked, {" / don't want to be
| bit -
Meanwhile, Andy had somewhat
recovered from his choaking, and as
his strength returned hts anger grew.
He sprang upon his antagonist, and for
minute very lively fight progressed
In the bottom of the boat Andy did
some very expert pounding, which the
frontiersman made no attempt to ward
off, ne was content to choke Andy
that he might avoid biting, and roar
ed to the others to take the biting
man of, which they did.
=" Andy was still terribly enraged and
tried TO curse, but his jaws would only
come together, snap, snap, emitting nc
word -Four men were holding him
down on the thwart. Then another
idea flashed across the mischievous
brain of Squatty Dick. He whispered
a word III the ear of one of those hold
ing Andy down.
"That's it, he cried anxiously. Hold
him down boys, he has got the hydro
phyby, sure"
{. This was the signal FOR a dozen
suggestions. One man thought Andy
should be shot, and generously offered
the use of his pistol for the purpose
but Squatty Dick said that WAGER was
the best remedy, NE known it tc
cvre mad dogs he said. Hell kick
a good deal, but don't mind that souss
him !"
And souse him they did, Twice he
was thrown overheard with painter
tied about his waist, and twice did his
jaws snap with rage as he was pulled

man into the icy cold water of the
straights, and again drew him out shiv

that he must keep his mouth closed. OF

Remarkable Freak OF an Apple Tree.

A young apple tree, bearing the Fa-
meu Sc variety, in garden IN Bmling-
ton, Vt, has INDUCED in avery remark
able feat this spring. A couple OF
weeks ago it blossomed as usual, and it
is now covered with apples the size OF
a hickory nut On Monday the owner
was surprised to observe upon the tree
a large white blossom. The flower is
entirely different from the regular APP
pie tree blossoms, which have but five
petals. This has many rows of petals,
and at the heart, instead of a bunch of
yellow stamens like the apple blossoms,
it has knot of petals still unfolding
resembling the petunia. 1t has three
times the size of an ordinary apple
blossom, and resembles a large "dou-
BILE " white rose. 1t is the only bios
ssm upon the tree, and presents very
SNOWY appearance.

AN ARABIAN TALE, By JOHN q. SAKE.
ssTo the manly will there's ever way J"
Said simple Arab youth;
"And I'm going to try, this very day,
If my teacher tells the truth;
He's always saying-the good old man
Now, please remember, my dear,
Your are sure to win, whatever you plan,
Ii you steadily peIsevereo
l mean to try it,-upon my llfe!-
II go through fire and water;
And, since wish to marry wife,
III have the Calif's daughter ~
so off to the Vizier straight he goes,
Who only laughed at the lad =
And said him NAY" as you may suppose
For he thought the fellow was mad =
And still for many aud many a day
He came too plead his case,
Bat the Vizier only answered NAY"
And laughed him i'll the face.
At last, the Calf came across ..
The youth in the Vizier's hall,
And. asking what his errand was,
The ViZier told him all.
Snow by my head !" the Calf said,
otis only the wise and great
A Calits daughter may ask to wed,
For rank with rank must mate;
Unless, mayhap, some valiant deed
May serve for an equal claim.
(For merit, l own, should have its need,
Aud princes yield to tame.)
In the Tigris once gem was lost,
Twas ages and ages since,
A ruby of wondrous size aud cost,
And fit for the noblest prince;
That gem, my lad, must surely be
Somewhere beneath the water
Go find it, boy, and bring IT to me,
Then come and marry my daughter J!
'.And so 1 will - the lad replied,
Aud off to the river he ran
Aud he dips away at the toamy tide
"A fast as ever he can;
With little cup he dips away;
Now what g the follow about ?
He's going to fnd tho gem some day,
BY draining the Tigris OUT
And still he dips by day and night,
Till the fishes begin to cry,
"Ths fellow is such ~ilful wight,
He'll dip the river dryn'
And 80 they sent their monarch to say
"a wise and reverend fish),
e Now why are You dipping our water away
Aud what do you please to wish ?"
81 want the ruby, sir ~ he cried;
Well-please to let us alone,
And stop your dipping" the fsh-king cried,
"And the gem shall be your own "
And he fetched the ruby of wondroua size,
From out the foamy water
And SO he lad obtained his prize,
And wed the Califs daughter

And few are the ends beyond the reach
