Henry Clay and the Billy Goat.

Formerly a very large, well-known,
and somewhat noted billy goat roamed
at large in the streets of Washin eton.
and the newspaper boys, bootblacks,
and street imps generally made COM
mon cause against him. Henry CLAY
never liked to see dumb animals abused
or worried, and on one occasion while
passing down the avenue, large crowd
of these mischievous urchins were at
their usual sport. Mr.. Clay, with his
walking-stick drove them away, giving
them a sound lecture meanwhile. AS
they scattered and scampered in every
direction, Billy seeing no one but Mr..
Clay within reach, made charge on
him. Clay dropped his cane and caught
his goatship by the horns. The goat
would rear up, being nearly as high as
the tall Kentuckians himself, and the
latter would pull him down again. This
sort of sport became tiresome, and ae
could conceive of no way by which he
could free himself from his two-horned
dilemma, so in his desperation he sang
out to the boys to know what to do.
One of the smallest in the crowd shout
ed back: {" Let go and run, you id
fool !" Clay always maintained that
though he signed the treaty of peace at
Client, yet that ragged 10Y knew more
than he did.

Not SO Poor as He Appeared to Be,

A very Noah's ark of vagrant was
committed to the Pittsfeld Jail on Sat
urday. Last spring he was arrested for
vagrancy, and paid his fine and law
yer's fees and was clear, but for this
second offense he was sentenced for six
months to the House of Correction.
After paying his lawyer promptly, he
was taken to the Jail and searched. He
was not stout man to look upon, but
he wore on his person seven shirts, five
pairs of pants, two vests, and two coats.
Every pocket of every garment that
would hold anything was filed with all
conceivable kinds of trash, little less
than bushel in all, consisting in part
of paper, Irvine, thread, needles, pieces
of cloth, handkerchiefs, mittens, gloves,
dozen halfmunched apples, scraps of
bread and cheese, Jumps of soap, bees
wax, scissors, rusty nails, old junk, etc.
Besides this trash, there was found be-
tween ninety and one hundred dollars
in cash, and four-year check for eigh-
teen dollars.-Sprinqfeld Mass Repub-

Curious Device of a French Novel
Writer,

A sale is announced as about to be
made in Paris of the puppets or mari
onettes which the late M Ponson du
Terrail, the well known romance writer,
made use of when employed in compos-
ing the voluminous feuilletons for which
he was so celebrated. These puppets,
which represent the different characters
of the authors different novels, are
small dolls about one foot high ;
their faces were carved expressly for
NJ du Terrairs use, by NJ. Dellegus, a
Swiss artist. These marionettes are di-
vided into groups, each group bearing
the name of the story in which the
personages composing it played part.
For his great-in length, at least
work Of = Rocambole" the author had
no fewer than 1873 puppets. It should
perhaps be mentioned that this last
work fills nearly score of closely
printed volumes. M. Ponson du Ter
rail at one time contributed simultane-
ously FIVE distinct novels to the feuiLZe-
tons of five distinct journals in Paris
and it is not to he wondered at that he
was driven to the use of mechanical
contrivances in order to avoid confusing
his plots 1t is said that NJ. Paul Feval
and NJ. Victorien Sardou employ the
same plan.

How Connecticut Elects Her Represent.
atiyeS.

A strong effort is to be made, at the
next session of the Connecticut Legis-
lature, to alter the existing basis of
representation in that State. The
singular fact is stated, that by the Con
stitution, Representatives are elected,
not from districts apportioned accord
ing to population, but from towns, with
the proviso that all towns incorporated
before 1855, whatever their size, shall
have two Representatives when all in
corporated since have only one each.
Thus Union, with 800 inhabitants, has
twice as many Representatives as
Bridgeport, city of 10000 people.
The fragrant injustice of allowing a vote
in Union to counterbalance IS votes in
Bridgeport is SO evident that it seems
as if the proposed return would be
adopted at once. But the Land of
Steady Habits clings to its reverence for
age Under the present system, the
country towns control all the legisla-
ton, and their papers are bring ing for
ward the speeieus plea that the large
cities are SO corrupt that it is necessary
to keep power as much as possible out
of their hands. Whether this applica-
ton of the Jesuitical maxim of doing
evil that good may come will be able to
defeat the reform, is uncertain. The
country voters will be naturally unwill-
ing to give up their present adyan,
tages but the system is too unnatural
to resist the pressure of public opinion
long.

A Spiritualistic Humbug Exposed.

While the man Slade is mystifying
New York with the doings of his in
visible agents who tear ladies' dresses,
write with slate and pencil, and play
the ACCORDION, his co-laborers in the
spiritual business, the Davenport broth
ers, have come to grief again. They
were recently giving exhibitions at
Ithaca, New York, when some students
of Cornell University smuggled into the
hall preparation of PHOSPHORUS.
When after the brothers had been Sc
curely bound in their cabinet, the lights
were put out, and guitar daubed with
PHOSPHORUS was seen passing through
the air and heard to discourse fragmen-
tary music, the mischievous young scep-
tics suddenly illuminated the room,
and behold, there were the Davenports
skipping about the stage and agitating
the guitar. Such disclosures are not
exactly calculated to promote public
confidence in other spiritualistic show
men,

From the San Diego (Cal) Union, Dee. 81.
The ceremony of choosing compadres
and comadres for the coming year-a
custom peculiar. to the people of Spain
and Mexico-is to be performed upon
the advent Of the New Year by some of
the ladies of this city. The custom is
an old one, and its origin dates back
many years. The manner of its per-
formance is. as follows The names of
ladies and gentlemen known to be mu-
tually acquainted are written upon slips
of paper and deposited in hats, the
name of lady being drawn simaltane-
oalsly from one hat with that of gem
tleman from another, the two whose
names are thus drawn to be COMPARES
and conaadres to each other for the year.
The obligations incurred toward each
other by the relationship are very simple
The gentleman is to be the escort of the
lady on any and every occasion that she
may desire; and she, in turn, must con-
slider herself engaged for any md every
entertainment which he may wish to
attend. Of course, the relationship can
! be dissolved by mutual consent, either
temporarily or permanently, during the
period for which the agreement is made.
The custom is an agreeable one in this
particular, that it insures to both lady
and gentleman an escort or companio d.
thus doing away with the disagreeable in
cldents which sometimes occur through
not having partners for an entertain
ment. And it also secures to the lady
having compadre the positive certainty
OF having some one to dance with at
every ball.

An Exemplary Family.
From the Detroit Tribun.


There is family living in the North
western part of the township of Ross,
in this county, whose depravity and dis
regard of human feelings seem to mark
them as exceptional specimens of the
human race They fight from one years
end to another, and peace only reigns
when exhaustion from their contests
ensues. Last week at terrible quarrel
and subsequent fight, a little child some
two years old, clinging to her mothers
dress, by the sudden movement of the
woman while chasing her "old mar"
was thrown into a kettle of scalding
water which was set down upon the
floor. Notwithstanding its cries, the
mother did not stop for moment until
she had driven her husband out of
doors and bolted the door, when she
came to the rescue of the child, but it
was frightfully scalded, so much SO that
it died soon after. Not long before, at
one of their fights, one of pair of twins,
boy, had his leg broken by becoming
involved in the melee, and after the
funeral of his last child, the older one
was taken charge of by some neighbors,
and it was found that the bone had
commenced healing of its own accord,
leaving great bunch on the thigh and
the leg deformed. The child had lain
IN bed ever since the injury without
medical assistance. An investigation is
to be had and the family will be pro-
ceeded against.

A Leap Year Story.

1t has long been the custom among
the young men that attend the West
- brook Mel Seminary to secure the SER
vices of some good musician for Satur-
day evening sociables, and to pay him
bycontributions. A Portland musician
has done the fddling for this term, and
though his charges are moderate, the
continual draw upon the slender purses
OF the boys at last so drained them that
they concluded they could not afford to
pay him last Saturday evening, but
made arrangements to have piano music.
The young ladies got wind of this, and,
being unwilling to dance to the dull
music of piano when violin could be
had for ten cents apiece, they dubbed
together, raised the required amount,
and notified the same musician that he
IS would be wanted essR s-lsss'
asssss The time for the dance to begin came.
The piano was in position and the
pianist on hand, the boys being unaware
that the girls had playe leap year upon
them, when, to their CONSERVATION, in
walked the musician, and began to fd-
die iuriously. A more sheepish- looking
g set of boys cannot be imagined. They
looked from one to the other in dismay,
and involuntarily elutched their re-
manning five cent pieces, undecided
whether to give up all or to throw them
selves upon the mercy of the knight Of
the string, but finally DEPOSITED their
cash balance in the hand of a deputy,
with instructions to pay the bill or
perish in the attempt, when they were
informed that the young ladies had
done that part for them. and were now
waiting for partners. So, with sickly
L
waiting damsels and walked on to the
floor, inwardly resolved that they would
never be caught in a similar manner
