Women, when they have neither babies
nor lovers, are certain TO have pets Of
some kind. They don't seem to care
much about the kind, either, in some
parts Of the country. For instance, in
Louisiana they have small aligators, in
Wisconsin they have turtles, in Arkan.
sas they have snakes, and in Tennessee
lizards. Such pets as those are, in our
judgment, even worse than the horrid

AbstemiOuS Habits OF the Late Chief
Justice

A correspondent signing himself B. =,
writes as follows to the New York Tri-
bune
"Chief Justice Chase led very sim
pie and regular life. For many years
it had been his habit to rise at O'Clock
III summer and 7 in winter. Before
breakfast he generally took a short
walk, returning home Ii time to meet
his family at morning prayers, which
he always said himself when he was
well. The breakfast hour was s o'clock,
during which he either conversed with
those around him, or looked over the
morning papers. At 8 he was ready
for his private secretary in the library.
Here he spent an hour reading and die.
tating letters or preparing his opIn-
ions. At 10 he went to the capitol,
generally walking, aud took his seat on
the Supreme Bench at IL, remaining
during the whole session until P. NJ
After the adjournment of the court
the Chief Justice walked home
and partook of cup of tea and few
crackers-this was his daily lunch.
Then he spent two hours at hard work
over his opinions until dinner, which
was always served promptly at 6
o clock. The Chief Justice enjoyed
this meal especially, and never hurried
through with it, however pressing
might be the business that awaited
him. His table was elegant, but not
ostentatious, and always consisted of
the standard English three courses and
q desert Wine was seldom served at
the table of the Chief Justice, and he
never used tobacco in any form. After
dinner ne would spend ali hour playing
chess with his private secretary. He
was excessively fond of chess, and
played a strong but not very scieutifc
game At p. NJ. he WAS at work again.

A Ship.Wrecked Apollo.

g. Colossal Marble Statue of the
Apollo Belvedere has just been
placed on exhibition in the window OF
G. W. Carleton & Co.'S Publishing
house, under the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
This fine figure was purchased by Mr..
Carleton two weeks ago, on the Island
of Bermuda, at an auction sale OF
Works of Art saved from the submerged
hull of the Italian ship Charlotte, y
which was wrecked last March on the
sunken coral rocks of the dangerous
reefs of the still vexed Bermudas. ,
This statue of Apollo (weighing more
than tom after lying under water for
some time, was, with great difficulty
tished out by the submarine divers
and native wreckers of the Island, and
landed on the shore, with the loss of
only finger or two, and slightly dam
aged by salt water and iron rust.
We believe this is the only colossal
marble Apollo Belvedere in the City of
New York, and those who have never
seen the superb original in the Vatican
at Rome, should be indebted to Mr..
Carleton for this singular and rare op
portunity of seeing a fac simitc OF the
finest marble statue in the world. -

The Yorkshireman glanced it once
through, and astonished his listener by
executing it with marvellous accuracy,
Gaping the climax by improvising
forid and appropriate cadenza.
Grounds said Chapple. "Mon-
sieur Julien must hear you. Call to-
morrow noon, and he'll be here"
"Hai ye thought aw didn't play
ony, eh 2" said the performer, as he
strobe out of the room, and he gave
vent to broad guffaw as he tramped
down stairs.
The next day, at the appointed hour,
Julien, with his publisher and the
Yorkshire ophicleidist, was in the same
upper room. julien, after hearidg him
play, was in ecstacies, which he en-
deavored to express in half a dozen
languages.
"Bravo he shouted, rubbing his
hands. "Capital Non Dieu, c'est
ertroordinoire Mr.. Chapple, engage
him, and give him five pounds week -
Five pounds week " exclaimed
Mr.. Chapple; "why, he'll be glad to
go for one-quarter of the money"
"Never mind that" said Julien
"never mind that-hire him, and give
him five pounds $3.50 a week. He's
worth 1T.
The same raw -boned Yorkshireman
is better clad now; his countenance
wears healthier hue, and, our word
for it, you will hear no provincial
brogue in the tones of his ophicleide.

A Good joke on a Bishop.

A good joke is told of we'll known
Episcopal Bishop of neighboring
diocese. We refrain from giving the
name, from appreciate motives of del
icacy. The Bishop is very staid, glum
sort of good man, and the last one in
the world to enjoy joke, especially
one on himself. A waggish friend,
meeting him the other day in a car,
astonished him by exclaiming, after a
reference to his high church principles:
Why, Bishop, | hear that on East
er you appeared in your pulpit with q
crown and palm -
What !" exclaimed the Bishop, in
establishment. "Nonsense You know
better"
Yes, - repeated the other, with 8
crown on your head and palm in youl
hand"
ct is a libel Who could have
started such a story" responded the
distinguished prelate, warmly But
pshaw, it is idle to talk about IT; it is
SO absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the Bishop did not forget his friends
words; he was afraid the hbelIous, atroc
ious report whould get into the papers
and then it would become a popularity
accepted fact which there would be nc
denying.
He sought his friend the next dav al
his Office, for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story
but the other, who is considerable of a
wag, sorely vexel the spirit of the &C.
complished prelate before he would
make any satisfactory explanation, and
then, with laugh and twinkle of the
eyes, he exclaimed
why, Bishop, haven't you a crown
on your head, and a palm an your
hand See 2"
The Bishop was so much pleased
with the explanation that he succeeded
in raising laugh though the express
sion of fierce soIemnity that settled on
his features as he left shortly after
leads his friends to believe that he did
not thoroughly enjoy the joke.

Rather Coed.

AS postal cards will probably soon be
IN circulation, it may be well to show
how they have been used to facilitate a
loan. Recently, in France, an individ-
ual sent daily, several postal cards ad
dressed to himself, on one of which his
1nquisitive ianitor read

call for that Ia, ZOO francs Your care
lessness is inexplicable. Yours, etc.

6 Mr.. j, Notary, requests you to
call at his office as soon as possible, to
acquire possession of the property of
the late Mr.. Bigourdin. y
Astonlshed at the contents of this
correspondence, the indiscreet porter
lent 80, 600 francs $50, OOOD to the inge
NOUS borrower, who, of course, sud
denly disappeared. The police were
duly informed of the matter, and when
the officer asked the janitor why he lent
this man his money 50 foolishly. he
he answered naiveiy, Because ]
thought he didn't need it." So candid
a creditor deserved better luck.

A TeIegralhic Feat in England.

An England journal says that a tele-
graphic feat, without parallel in the West
of England, was performed on the eve
ming of April %, at Plymouth Postoflice.
The Hamburg American mail steamer
Hammonia arrived about o'clock in
Cawsand Bay, outside Plymouth Sound
she was boarded by the Volunteer, steam
tender, here passengers mails and specie
transferred and landed at NIillbay shortly
after 4 o'clock. The American papers
were found to contain copious details of
the wreck of the Atlantic. These were
at once prepared by a literary staff and
telegraphed at greater or less length to
every daily paper in the United Kingdom
The amount of work thus unexpectedly
thrown upon the Plymouth telegraphists
was enormous. Between o'clock and
midnight upward of 10000 words were
transmitted, and with accuracy and Gel
Gritty. Plymouth was "put through" to
Manchester direct for messages three col
umns in length to the Manchester Guar
dian and Manchester Examiner. About
90 clerks were thus employed, actively
and continuously, FOR six hours--two
Wheatstone and three Morse Instruments
being a work through to London, in ad-
dition to all the ordinary work at the
Office, which itself had been complicated
that day.

the Mount Vernon Association showed
that the receipts during the past year

penses have been over So, 800, leaving a
balance OF only $40 in the treasury.
Grand Master Stansbury, of the Ma
sonic order, informed the vice-Re-
gents that the Knights Tenn lar OF
Maryland proposed erecting a grand
mausOleum over the remains of Wash
lngton, which was gratefully accepted.
When completed it will be the occasion
for an assembling of the Masonic or

to the New York Graphic:

then went and laid nest full of bureau
knobs, sat on 'em three weeks and
hatched out complete set of parlor
furniture, was pretty fair hen But

their heads together to nab the kernel,

How Copper Ore is Reduced III Caliior-
Ma.

The Alta California gives the following
account of method for reducing copper
ore,now used in that State. 1t says: "The
Newton copper mine, in Amador county,is
now worked On q new principle. The ore
is an insoluble sulphuret, or mixture of
sulphur and copper, but under exposure
to the air changes slowly to soluble sui
phate. This is dissolved in wafer and
then old scraps of iron are thrown in
which is precipitated in a powder 90 per
cent. fine. This process was suggested by
the discovery in an abandoned shaft in
Calveras county where water had stood
for some months on some tools, that all
the iron had been eaten away and copper
deposited. The method of reduction is
cheap, but there is much doubt whether
1t could be applied profitahly on an ex-
tensive scale. Many tons of the precipi.
tated copper have been shipped to Bos-

Honey Bees.

The transmission of honey bees through
the mails has, tor a long time, been pro-
hibited by the Postoffce Department, in
consequence of the leakage of the food
syrup, which soiled the regular mail ma t.
ter Another reason given was, that the
bees sometimes stung the clerks who
handled them. An application, however,
has recently been made for the privilege
of transmitting small wooden boxes, con-
tanning queen bee and five to ten work.
ers. The boxes are made by boring large
holes nearly through small strip of pine
board, and covering the upper portion
with network of wire. Inside each box
small pieces of sponge, saturated with
syrup, are placed fer the bees to feed
upon. 1t is, however, believed that this
device will not obviate the leakage of the
syrup, and it is not likely that the Post
office Department will reverse It's former
rule on the subject.
