Barnum's Giraffe.

The Tnrt, Field and Firm says:
"The GRAFT ia Barnum s mena-
9erie shows wonderful Affection
for It's keeper. 1t will allow no
other to handle it, and'it grows
nervous and uneasy whenever The
young man is. away from its side.
The keeper even has 10 sleep in
the cage with the giraffe. 1t is a
handsome cage, and in one end of
it the young man has his bunk
When the giraffe is lying down,
Its head nestles close to its keep
er, eand thus the two slumber
lovely iderby side. The young
man has had charge of the animal
onlysinceit landedin this country,
some six weeks ago. 1t is a male,
three years Ole. and as the female
which started with it was lost in
the voyage across the Atlantic,
the affection once reserved for the
dead mate seems to- have been
transferred TO the man who first
received and caressed it on the
vessels arrival at New York. The
giraffe must naturally be of an af,
fsctionate disposition. or it would
scarcely have become SO fond of a
human being in so short a time af-
ter leaving its native wllds. y"

VINO | AM.-The following sto-

who in his lifetime was sometimes
inclined to be q little pompous.
When he was building dwelling
houses for the workmen employed
in his great pistol factory, he one
day encountered boy picking up
chips on his grounds.
What are you doing here p be
asked, gruffly.
"Picking up chips, sir" replied
the youngster, evidently unawed
by the gre It presence.
Perhaps" exclaimed the colo.
mel, drawing himself up with
dignity, "you don't know who |
am. I'm Colonel Samuel Colt, and
live in that big house up yonder. "
The boy Strengthened up and
swelled out, and answered, "Per-
haps you don't know who | am.
I'm Patrick Murphy, and / live
in that little shanty down yon,
der" pointing in the direction.
Sonny" said the colonel,
blandly, patting the boy on the
head, "go on and pick up all the
chips you want, and when you
get out come back for more"
