what he wanted for dinner.

A TRIUMPH OF ORDER.

squad of regular infantry
In the Commune's closing days,
Had captured q crowd of rebels,
By the wall of Pere-la- Chaisc.
There were desperate men, wild women,
And dark-eyed Amazon girls,
And one little boy, with breakdown check
And yellow clustering curls.
The captain seized the little waif
Aud said "What dost thou here?"
"Sa,pristi, Citizen captain!
Pm Communist, my dear!'

every well! That's my affair!
But first let me take to my mother.
Who lives by the winc-shop there.
''My fathers watch. You see it,
gay old thing, is it not?
1t would please the old lady to have it,
Then Pll come back here, and be shot"
"That is the last we shall see of him."
The grizzlcd captain grinncd,
AS the little man skinned down the hill
Like a swallow down the wind.
For the JOY of killing had lost its zest
lnS be glut of those awful days,
And Nmth writhed gorged like greedy snake
FROM the Arch of Pere-la. Chaise
But before the last platoon had fired,
The child's shrill voice was heard
'Lfoupla the old girl made such row
l feared / should break my word"
Against the bullet-pitted wall
He took his place with the rest;
A button was lost from his ragged blouse,
Which showed his soft, white brcasts

The good woman pocketed the paper,
rang the bell, and a sumptuous repast of

in.
A few days afterward, the squire remain
ed working in the garden later than the
usual tea hour. His wife grew impatient
OF the delay, and went to fluid him. His
excuse, when asked what he was waiting
Tor, threw her into a flutter of excitement.

"Some ones to come to supper" she ey
claimed. "Why didn't you tell me ? de-
clare, If you amt the most provoking of

And without asking which of his friends
was expected, she fastened to change her
dress and sleek up her hair for the occa.

the squire seated at the table reading the
newspaper.

How BIRDS ARE TAUGHT TO S1NG.-
The following account is given of how
birds are taught to sing tunes in Germany.
1t is chiefly done in Fuda, town in Hesse
CasseU, where they keep regular educational
institutions for bullfnches They place the
young birds into classes of six to ten each,
and keep them in the dark, turning little
hand-organ for them when they are fed.
Finally the birds commence to associate the
music with the feeding, and when hungry
they commence to sing few notes of the
tunes they hear daily. Those who do this
are at once placed in more cheerful room,
when some light is admitted. This en-
courages them and makes them more live
ly. Then they like to sing, and are soon
taugh int more. The most difficult part is
the first starting of the birds, some of which
have to be kept for long time in the dark,
and on starvation rations, before their OBJ
stinacy is overcome. In order to teach
them several tunes, they receive (after be-
ing thus first taught in classes) private in
struction from the little boys of Fulda,
each of whom has few private pupils of
this sort. Their education lasts nine
months, when it is completed, and the birds
sent into the world as accomplished per-
formers.

Nominations in Dallas and Tarrant
81 Counties for the Legislature.

We are grati6ed to learn from commu-
nication published in another column that
Col. John Hurry Brown, Of Dallas, and
Major Van Zandt, OF 'iarrant, have been
selected by The democracy Of their respec-
tive counties as candidates FOR the legisla-
iuro. These gentlemen. with our own Sc.
lection, Col. Ed. Iinmbers, will do credit
to the State. There WAS abundant mnteri
al in ench county of the ablest aud most
respectable character to select from, and
the difficulty was to decide who should
have 1t. We are abuDdaptly satisfied,
and can pledge Collin to most en,husas
tic support Of the ticket. These gentlemen
are conservative sound and reliable John
Henry Brown and Col. Chambers will bring
to bear long expert, nee in legislative
matters, with n , superiors In ability, oour-
tssy, and just discrimination. While Maj
Van Zandt has not the same experience rs
o legislator, he is able, and will bring to
htnr ripe judgment, d superior under
stnuding, great industry aud mos. agreea-
BILE manners. Indeed we feel proud OF the
ticket. Our section will be most ably rep
rcser ted /, and the State will have secured,
in these gentlemen, public servants who
will carefully guard and protect its every
interest. With such material as this, and
that of like character, already selected in
other portions OF the State, we feel assur-
ed that the ollies of the past legislature,
its unjust and unwholesome laws, will re-
ceivo a most thorough overhauing, and
insure just and discriminating revision
