Why SHE REFUsEp.--You say you
went 10 a party last night, and you saw
Mrs. Smith, an old friend, whom you had
not seen sincn she and your sister were at
school TO gether. You had very pleas
ant talk until supper. When some one
came along with few glasses of wine
ON waiter and offered her glass. you
saw her shudder as she said, NO" and
you wondered why Mrs. Smith, who
didn't use to be particular about such
things, not only refused but shuddered
when She said MOP You cannot tell
why? can tell you why. You went

The other afternoon a cow and dog
belonging to r. n. Graves were passing
along b. street together, a big, quarrel
some hoodlum cur rushed out from the
sidewalk and pounced upon the canine,
companion of the COW. The hoodlum
seemed to be getting the best OF the
fight, when the cow-probably decond-
ant in the direct line of the 'cow with
lhe crumpled horn that toosed The dog
tha: worried ,he cat"- seeing how things
were going with her companion, charged
upon the strange dog, and at the first
pass elevated him some ten feet in the
air. She was or hand again, about the
time he struck the ground, and charging
upon him with arched neck and erect
tail, pitched him from the middle of the
street into pile ofpacking cases stand
ing on the edge of the sidewalk. This
done she inrned afItotIouately 10 her ca
nine friend, and the pair moved on To-
gether, while the discounted hoodlum
raised his head aboye the edge OF the dry
goods box in which he had landed and
looked about TO see if the Tightening had

A Philadelphia editor, having received
from his NJ. q. a copy of the latest Pat
cut Office Report, thus expresses his graft
uude: We have already sixteen humid
red of these interesting volumes in our
little library, but they have been read
and reread so many times that We know
every page OF them by heart. This new
volume came oppotanely and greatfully
on Christmas morning, and that night
we gathered our little family around the
fire aud read 1t through to them. The af-
f+cting tale entitled Improvement in
Monkey Wrenches," seemed to touch
every heart, and when we came to the
climax of the little story about "Revers-
ible Pieboards," there was not dry eye
between the front door and stable. Du-
ring the reading OF the pious narra-
tive entitled SCUM Washers for Carriage
Axles," the whole family gave an express
sion to boisterous emotion, and the hired
girl was so much excited that she lost
her presence of mind and went round to
her mothers inadvertently with six
pounds OF sugar and a butter-kettle full
OF flour, but came home at midnight in
toxicated. We can never sufficiently
thank Judge Kelly for the innocent en-
| joyment thus furnished us.

We clip the fo,ivw ing from late
number oi the Scientific Journal:
"The creeping Of rails has attracted
some attention Of late, and while we do
not attempt To explain IL, we offer point
on the fact, that on lines running north
and south, the western rail, 'creeps' fast
or than the eastern rail. That is, this
strange movement of the rail towards
the south is more marked in one rail than
the other on the same track. Further.
more, il has been noticed that on such
line the eastern rail wears out the fastest.
Both Of these points, we think, can be
explained bv the motion of the earth as
it turns from the west towards the east.
Motion tends 10 overcome gravitation.--
A rapid skater flies over the thin ice,
without breaking through, and train
train at high speed has been known to
a broken bridge unharmed. Momen-
tun overcomes gravitatiOn, and the
gre afer the speed the less the weight on
the rails. Everything that has free mo-
tion is dragged alter the whirliog globe;
every wind that blows, and every tide
that moves feels the influence, and our
train going north or south, is pulled over
towards the east and naturally presses
the eastern rail most heavily. The west
ern rail, being relieved OF It's share of
weight, creep- more freely aud quickly.
1t is also netIced that the wheels that
on the eastern rail wear out first, and we
can but think that this earth motion is
the true cause. The practical side Of
this is, that the eastern rail and wheels
| should be stronger

Barnusn's Latest Curiosity.

A queer wild animal, the only one Of lite
kind eyer seen in til country, was on
private exhibition yesterday at the Reicshe
Brothers geological and ornithological
agency in Chatham street, 1t arrived
here in the steamer Mosel, last week.
The importer, Mr.. P. 7. Barnum, paid
Sll 900 for it, The animal is called a
saddle tapir. The natives Of Sumatra,
where 1t was captured three months ago
by Mr.. Barnum's hunters, gave il the
name of ''water' horse" because ii has the
habit of the hippopotamus, which it re-
sembles in shape. The head, ears, legs,
and fore part Of the body is covered with
short, bristly, jet black hair. A broad
band of white encircles its body from the
shoulders to the hips, This makes IL look
from distance as ,hough it was mufie1
in a white shirt A trunk absut as long
as hand projects from the upper jaw,
after the style Of an elephants probsseis.
Il uses this in feeding. Since its arrival
here boiled rice, thickly sweetened, and
sweet potatoes have been its principal
diet. Sweetened water is also given 1t.
The tapir is three years old, seven feet
high, three and half feet long, and
weighs 900 pounds. There are many of
its species in Malay ana sumatra, bat
they are shy.-rNew York Sun.

Good Counsel.

No young man can hope to rise in So
cety, or peform worthily his part In life.
without fair moral character. The ba-
sis of such character is virtuous, fixed
sense of moral obligation, sustained and
invigorated by the fear and love OF God.
The youth who possesses such character
can be trusted. Integrity, justice, benev-
olence and truth, are not with him words
with no meaning--he feels and knows
their sacred import and aims in the
tenor Of his life, to examplify the
virtues they express. Such man has de-
cision Of cha racter-he knows what is
right and is firm in pursuing 1.-THE thinks
and acts for himself, and is not to be made
the tool of --nnprincipled and time-serving
politicians to do the dirty work Of party.
Such man has true worth Of character
his life is blessing to himself, to his fam
lily, to society and to the world--and he is
poihted out to future generations as n
proper example for the rising youth to
emulate
