Animal Sagacity.

The workmen in the engine-house of the
New Haven railroad were greatly amused,
few days ago, by the movements of a
weasel that had killed rat nearly as large
as himself in one of the engine-pits The
side of the pit being perpendicular, and the
rat too heavy for the weasel to carry up in
his teeth, the question arose how he should
get him out. 1t looked like difficult task,
but the weasel was equal to the emergency
After several unsuccessful attempts to
shoulder the rat and climb up the side, he
laid him down and went about to the diff
ferent corners on tour of inspection.
Finally selecting one in which sufficient
dirt had accumulated to make an elevation
of several inches, he went back, dragged
the rat to the corner, and stood him upon
his hind legs. He then clambered out of
the pit, and going to the corner, where he
had left the rat, let himself down by the
hind feet, from above, clasped the rat
around the neck with his fore paws, pulled
him up and trotted off with him to his hole.
The weasel is one which made its appear
ance at the shop some time ago, and which
by being unmolested, has become quite
tame.-Sprinajfeld Republican.

A Stranger Indeed.

As Artemus Ward was once travelling in
the cars, dreading to be bored, and feeling
miserable, man approached him, sat down
and said
"Did you hear that last thing on Horace
Greeley?"
"Greeley? Greeley ?' said Artemus !;
"Horace Greeley? Who is he?'
The man was quiet about five minutes
Pretty soon he said:
"George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal Of row over in England do you
think they will put him in bastile?"
"Train? Train? George Francis Train ?''
said Artemus, solemnly, 81 never heard of
him."
This ignorance kept the man quiet for
fifteen minutes, then he said:
"What do you think about General
Grants chances for the Presidency? Do
you think they will run him?''
"Grant? Grant? hang it, man." said
Artemus, "you appear to know more
strangers than any man ever saw
The man was furious he walked up the
car, and at last came back, and said
"You confounded ignoramus did you
ever hear of Adam ?'
Artemus looked up and said:
"What was his other name? ?''

The Esquimaux Dog.

The most valuable domestic animal in
Kamtschatka is the dog. During winter
they are fed with dried fish every morning
and evening, but while travelling they get
nothing to eat, even though they run for
hours. Their strength is wonderful Gen
orally no more than five of them are har-
messed to a sledge, and will drag with ease
three full-grOwn persons, and sixty pounds
of luggage. When lightly ladened, such a
sledge will travel from thirty to forty miles
a day over bad roads and through the deep
snow on even roads, from eighty to one
hundred and forty.
During snow storm, the dogs keep their
master warm, and will lie quietly near for
hours, so that he has merely to prevent the
snow from covering him too deeply and
suffocating him. The dogs are also excel
lent weather prophets, for when, while
resting, they dig holes in the snow,a storm
may, with certainty be expected
The sledge-dogs are trained to their
future service at very early period. Soon
after birth they are placed with their
mother in deep pit, SO as to see neither
man nor beast, and after having been
weaned they are again condemned to sol
itary confinement in a pit.-After six
months they are attached to sledge with
other older dogs. and being extremely shy,
they run as fast as they can. On returning
home, they are again confined in their pit,
where they remain until they are perfectly
trained, and able to perform long journey.
Then, but not before, they are allowed their
summer liberty. This severe education
completely sours their temper, and they
constantly remain, gloomy, shy, ,quarrelsome
and suspicious.

Curious Instinct of the Bees.


"ONEY-BEES are governed by instinct
IL not by art. They never deviate
from the course they were created in. The
first comb they ever built was as perfect as
at the present day; no art has improved
the shape or size. One bee lays all the eggs,
while the others raise and protect them;
each bee does its part of the labor in gath
ering in the stores and nursing the young;
and have noticed, for some years, their
mode of gathering pollen OF bee-bread. It
is this:
When a bee goes out after food, it alights
on some kind of flower, and gathers
part of its load; then goes to another flower
of the same kind, and perhaps a third, to
obtain load.-Another bee goes out, and
if it alights on an other kind of flower, it
keeps that kind till it gets load. But how
is this known? You go to the hive and
watch them as they come in; some have
yellow pollen on their legs; others have
light colors; others have dark; but no bee
has two colors on his legs. If you see any,
you will see more than have, for / never
did; and supposed that they stored it in
different cells for a change of food. The
other day, in overhauling hive, broke
out piece Of comb, and found the different
colors in different cells, which confirmed
my belief; for l suppose they like change
of food as well as humans.
Another curious thing is their coming
out and alighting before going off; from
among the hundreds have hived, never
had one swarm leave direct from the hive
Another curious thing is their rearing
the males and nursing them so tenderly,
and after they become useless they destroy
them. But instinct has directed them to
do it, Another curious thing is that, when
they get to be too numerous, the mother
bee should call out part of her brood to
go with her, and leave the others to take
care of the young. Why not call them all
out to go with her? Because instinct has
ordered it otherwise. Certain ones 90 out
with her, while others are coming in with
stores for future use. A certain part of
them don't seem to have any inclination to
follow the mother bee, nor do they mourn
the loss, for another is provided.
How wisely the Creator has arranged
every part and movement 1t is curious,
too, now the eggs of the drone cells are all
drones, and those in the worker cells are all
workers We would suppose they would
get mixed up like hens eggs. Again when
they want queen why not make a mistake
sometimes, and take drone egg And
also by feeding certain kind of food,
make queen instead of worker? Again,
the queen before she is Matched is head
downward, which would seem to be unnat-
ural; but the All-wise has made every part
| perfect.

Another Solomon.

Judge Cush once had dog case, in
which the ownership of the canine was in
dispute. The evidence was conflicting, and
the Judge became confused
"stopr' said he; "stop right there
wen settle the matter very shortly. You
Mr.. Plaintiff, go out into the far corner of
the room out there. You Mr.. Defendant
come into this corner up here.-Now both
of you whistle, and Mr.. Clerk, let loose
the dog"
So said, so done but the dog sprang
between the legs Of the bystanders and
scooted" out of the door,
every extraordinary very extraordi-
nary p said the Judge. 81 can't under
stand that. Mr. Clerk on the whole, as
the plaintiff couldn't prove his case when,
gave him the chance, you may enter
judgment for the defendant"

Saved by his Dog.

A Western woodsman recently found
himself helplessly pinned to the ground by
a prematurely falling tree. He was a great
distance from home, and, in few hours
would doubtless have died from the pain
and exposure, had not little whining cur
who had missed his master, and tracked
him to his wood prison, begun mournful
howl as a possible relief from the dreary
monotony of the situation. This suggested
to the suffering man something of the story
book kind, and calling to his little pet
he smeared his shaggy face with blood,
and bade him return home for help. The
little creature evidently realized the impor-
tance of his mission, for he trotted home
forthwith, and breaking in upon the as
founded household, gave the first alarm.
He led the way back to the wounded man,
and in an ecstacy of whines attested his
satisfaction at the deliverance.

There are two kinds of gills. One is the
kind that appears best abroad, the girls
that are good for parties, rides, visits, balls,
ect., and whose chief delight is in such
things. The other is the kind that appears
best at home, the girls that are useful and
cheerful in the dining-ioom, the sick-room,
and all the precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is moth, con-
suming everything about her; the other is
a sunbeam, inspiring life and gladness all
along the pathway. Now it does not nee
essarily follow that there shall be two
classes of girls The right education
would modify them both little, and unite
their characters in one. HAi3

Jackson and the Ruffian.

1T was while he was Judge that he ar
IL rested the notorious desperate Bean,
whom nobody else could arrest. Many of
Beams defendants are still living, and the
place where old Hickory's eyes brought him
down is still pointed out.
AS the story runs, Bean went away and
left his family for two years. When he re-
turned his wife celebrated the advent by
presenting him with newborn babe.
This was new departure in domestic econ
omy, and Bean did not accept the situation
with very good grace. He demanded an
explanation, and in the absence of salts
factory one, he sharpened his knife and de-
liberately cut off both ears Of the poor little
baby, playfully remarking as he did so,
that he wanted to distinguish it from his
own. Some thought this was an innocent
proceeding, a practical joke on the baby
in fact, while others considered it an out
rage that should be punished The grand
jury took that view of the case and in
dicted Bean. Bean, as usual, brushed up his
horse pistols and said that they might in
dict, but they couldn't arrest him. The
sheriff tried it and was vanquished. Court
came on, the criminal docket was called,
and the clerk reported Bean "not taken"
"What's the matter?" asked jackson of
the sheriff.
Nothing's the matter, only | can't ar
rest him" replied the official.
"Then, by the Eternall summon the
county to help you and bring him in here"
Numbered the judge.
The sheriff gathered up some citizens,
and advanced on Bean The latter backed
himself up against house to prevent
rear attack, drew his pistols, and told them
to come on. He was centre shot, and to
have advanced would have been certain
death TO some. No one cared to sacrifice
his life in giving the others chance to
make start. The sheriff reported to Jack
son that Bean could not be taken without
sacrifice Of lives
BY the Eternal summon the court p
Numbered the irate Judge; and "the
court" was summoned
jackson refused arms, and advanced
empty-handed and bareheaded upon Bean
His friends tried to restrain him, as he val
ued life, but he needed them not. He kept
his cold eyes fixedly upon the desperate,
walked right up to him, jerked his pistols
away, took him by the collar, and marched
him off to jail.

A PrOphesI.

Mother Shipton's prophesy is almost for
gotten, except by Rntiquarians. 1t was first
published in 1883, and republished next in
1641. 1t must be confessed that the great
est part of it has been fulfilled, and we
have only ten years to wait in order to de-
termine whether the concluding lines will
prove as true as the earlier ones. These
are Mother Shipton's words
Carriages without horses shall 20, 70
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling Of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true,
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree,
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as u wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and found
In a land that's not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In nineteen hundred and eighty-one.
