The Goat-Boy Of the Alps.

To fud the genuine, uncOntaminated
goat.bsy we must GEEK him in some re.
tired canton in Switzerland, like that Of
Appensell, whore he knows little else
than goats, and cares for naught else than
to guard aud protect them. 10 all the
festive professions Of the herdsmsu he
takes . part, and generally figures as q
sort Of merry Andrew, dancing and ca.
pering wherever fun and mcrrment are
at. the highest.
This gay life, however, is for him Of
short duration his work is very severe.
The bells of his herd salute the ear Of
the early wauderer even before the chapel
bells bid the pious peasants couut their
mornig rosaries. And the strange cry
that rings through the valley is the pc
culiar goat call Of the little head
collecting his flock from the lowly shell
tiers along his path. The restless goats
hear his call long before hc reaches them,
and when their owners open the cabin
doors, away thoy bound in light leaps
over hedges and barriers to join their
fellows in search of food on the noun.
tains. The boy will thus gather forty or
fifty goats which are placed in his spe-
cial charge during the summer. to be led
out in the morning and returned for
milking and shelter at night.
Where the hsrdsman with his cows
can not reach, thithsr tho nimble goat.
boy with his more nimble wards, will 90
with ease and safety, to gather the scanty
herbs that spring up among tho weather.
beaten rocks; and from the most danger.
Gus aud apparently inaccessible heights
will resound the loud goat call. 1t is
then that the goat boy feels himself a
king, undisputsd monarch Of the peaks.
Yet he is in reality poor little waif-
frequently an orphan or an outcast.
Sometimes the boy will seek his own Gus
tomors again ho will hire himself to u
master, from whom he will receive q
yearly reward Of two dollars, besides
his coarse food, rough shirt. and pants,
old felt hat, and heavy wooden shoes
with soles studded with nails.
He acquires a wonderful facility in the
art of climbing ana will slip boldly along
on the sharp edges Of precipices to which
it scarcely seems possible that human
foot can cling. Indeed, the moun,aineers
believe that goats milk imparts magic
skill in scaling the g,ddiest heights. The
goat boy. eye is as sure as his feet ;
miles away he will point out the chamOia
to the hunter, or discover some lost or
vsgraut member Of his own flock. His
ear, too, grows as sensitive as that Of the
game Of tho Alpine wilds. He knows
each enc of his own flock by the sound
of its bell, and even by its ory Of dis
tress when it has slipped into some chasu
from which it cannot escape.
But above all does be recognize
though far off, its terrified cry when ths
eagle or vulturs pounces down upon it
Then he becomes q veritable hero: ssiz-
ing Alpine staff, with its steel point, b,
gives desperate battle to the fierce anc
powerful foe and while his goats anc
their kids are fleeing in terror to th'
shelter Of the nearest rock or thickot, b,
dispatches his enemy, or at least drivs'
him away.

"Why, nothing is 90 easy I" exclaimed
Fritz. II can scare him away. Furnish
me with sheet, show me the room, and

the post in the morning"
Barbara did as he required, and saw
the tanner step blithely away at his task.
1t was then twelve o'clock, and she
sought her chamber.
Barney was sitting at his vigil, and so
far all had bsen we'll. Tho night seemed
very long, for he had no means of count
ing tho time. At times a thrill went
through him, for it seemed as if he could
hear low suppressed breathing not fur
away, but be persuaded himself it was
the wind blowing through the crsvices
of the old house. Still it was lonely,
and not q: all cheerful.
The face in the coffin cleaned whittier
through the darkness. The rats squeaked
as famine were upon them aud smslled
fish. The thought made him shudder. He
got up and walked about, but something
made slight noise. as if omebsdy was
behind him, and he put his chair with
the back against the wall and sat down
again. He had been hard at work oil
day, and in spite Of everything be grew
sleepy. Finally he nodded and suOred,
Suddenly itseemed as if son. body had

start, and saw nobody neur, though in

words that came to his tongue. The
figure held up its right arm and slowly
approached him. He started to his feat
Tho figure came nearer, passing him in
the corner.
THE devil take you," cried Barney In
bis extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back and
the figure advanced, coming nearer and
nearer, aud extending both arms as if to
take him in a ghostly embrace. The
hair started up on Barusy's head, he
grew desperate, and as the cleaning arms
would have touched him be foil upon the
ghost like a whirlwind. tearing of the
sheet, humping, pounding, kicking and
beating more aud more at the resistance

trying to lunge At Barneys stomach to

and kicking like horses, they were pstr'

Looking around, they saw the corpse
sitting up in the coffin. This was too
much. They released each other and
sprang for the door. They never knew
how they got out, but they ran home like
painting stays.
1t was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door upon Ernest usx.

So she married him (; and though she
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the

"AgriculturiSt'-So three years

his method of raising bull-pups.
Mr.. Z. told him to graft his bull
rush slips on a dog-wood vine in
May, and to pick the pups as soon as
they began to turn yellow in the fall.
Because Grant "snickered" at this
Greeley opposes him.

ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The labors of the Geneva Arbitra-
tors have closed, and England is
compelled to pay our Government
$l5,5O0, 900 in gold for the damage
Inflicted by its pirates upon our COM
merce during the late rebellion. The
amount in money is quite large, and
would make small community com.
Portable for life, but that is nothing
compared to the principle involved.
England would willingly have lost
ten times the amount could it have
escaped the humiliation of being
forced to submit to this, by another
nation. Her pride is BUNDLED, and
she is taught that her title to "mis-
tress of the seas" is somewhat myth
ical, and does not warrant her in ev'
cry act she may commit on the wa
ter. But the greatest end accom-
plished Is the new manner inaugur.
ated to settle such differences. In.
stead of resorting to the sword as
nine out of ten would have done, our
nation sought to settle the matter by
peaceful arbitration, and right well
has 1t been done. At one time, after
oil was apparently amicably adjusl.

JOHN P. IRISH, the Blatherskite
Candidate for Congress in the 9Th
District, says he will vote to abolish
the ranking privilege and mileage
if he is sent to Congress. AS John
always votes for the largest amount
of "perks" in the State Legislature,
draws his mileage regularly, and
favors every measure that will add
to salary or gifts in any way, it is
presumeable that he will reform be-
fore he can vote thus. He'll not get
a chance however.
