Brownies Nest.

Once had litto brown chicken. She
was one Of brood which came out of the
shell very early in the spring, while the
ground was covered with snow All the rest
of the brood died from the cold and then
the children took this little chicken into the
house, wrapped her in soft wool, aud laid her
IN basket in a warm corner by the fire.
They fed her with crumbs, and gave her
fresh water every day, until the warm weather
came; when she had grown so strong that she
was able to run about with the other chickens.
/ But she did not forget her warm corner by
the fire, nor the children's care for, when
ever the door was OPEN she would run TO-,
aud make herself at home.
The children NAMED her Brownie. She
| grew 10 be a hen; but she still loved to come
into the house, and was always petted
One day was sewing in my room, when
| Brownie walked in. She turned her little
head to one side, and looked up at the bureau
then she stepped along, turned her head to
the other side, and looked up at the ward.

she sat down very quietly. After few
minutes she got up, said Cut ,ut-cut, ca.

sat down. She walked around, peeping this
way and that, and then few up to the bed.
She seemed pleased with my arrangements,
aud sat down as before

with her "Cut-cut, ca.dar.cut;" but he
walked in few minutes. and, seeing Brownie
on the bed, he put out his little fat hands to
pull her feathers. | was afraid she would
scratch or peck HIM, and went quickly to
take him awayi but she only turned her
head, and looked at him in motherly way,
as if to say, Pull my feathers as much as
you like, Harry | am used to babies She

" Gen Sherman has been received with
great honors at Constantinople. The Sultan
rendered him an elaborate state dinner OF
sixty.three courses, and received him at the
head Of the staircase Of his palace, an honor
rarely vouchsafed by Turkish sovereigns. The
general, Col. Audenreid aud Lieut. Grant were
welcomed in high-sounding speech by Min.
lister Boxer, and Gen. Sherman afterward
passed in review the Turkish troops of all
arms quartered in Constantinople, after which
they were saluted by the feet, which literally
burned powder in their behalf Another fact
worthy of note is that the Russian embassy
at Constantinople made most ample prepara.
tions for the reception Of Sherman and his
companions, and accorded them a fuldress
banquet, the like of which has never been
seen in Turkish city before. The generals
speeches in Constantinople-for he actually
made several--are mentioned as graceful aud
to the point. Prince Frederick Carl Of
Prussia and some other German dignitaries

" The remarkable initiation OF mining
stocks which has recently taken place in Cali
iornia and Nevada recalls the early days Of
the gold excitement when thousands of per-
sous rushed to the Pacific slope in quest of
wealth. But the yicisstudes of fortune which
have attended the present excitement have
been more marvellous than anything that oc-
CURED in 40. Until the first months of this
year mining stocks had been for some time
very greatly deprecated. The improvement
in the mining processes aud the development
Of the mines, which have been very consider
able during the past two years, resulted iu
the accumulation Of handsome dividends, on
the first Of January. Some of the mines,
which had been given up by their owners be-
cause they were thought to have been ex-
haustel, began to pay largely once more, un-
der shrewder management, while an increased
yield was everywhere noted The imitation
began in February, and continued for two
months, during which time scores Of men ac.
cumulated immense fortunes varying from
one hundred thousand dollars to ten and even
twenty-five millions. The excitement being
pretty well over, the lucky holders of the
stocks of the principal mines have sat down
to count over their gains. The San francisco
Chronicle prints list of fortunes accumu.
lated from which it appears that several
scores of persons have become suddenly and
vastly rich, while nearly all the brokers and
bankers on the Pacific coast have profted
handsomely from the rise in values. Oh
course the speculation has been carried to al
extreme, aud violent revulsion will be very
likely to follow this enormous imitation.
