The Blue.Bird.

The blue-birds and the house-wrens
more frequently come into collision. A
few years ago put up little bird-house
in the back end of my garden for the ac-
commodation of the wrens, and every sea-
son a pair have taken up their abode
there. One spring pair of blue-birds
looked into the tenement and fingered
about several days, leading me to hope
that they would conclude to occupy it.
But they finally went away, and later in
the season the wrens appeared, and after a
little coquetting were regularly installed
in their old quarters, and were as happy
as only wrens can be.
One of our younger poets, Myron Ben
ton, saw little bird
"-runied with whlrlwind of his ecstacies,"
which must have been the wren, as
know of no other bird that so throbs and
palpitates with music as this little vaga-
bond. And the pair L speak of seemed
exceptionally happy, and the male had a
small tornado of song in his crop that
kept him "ruffied" every moment in the
day But before their honeymoon was
over the blue-birds returned. knew some
thing was wrong before was up in the
morning. Instead of that voluble and
gushing song outside the window, IhearC
the wrens scolding and crying at fear
ful rate, and on going out saw the blue
birds in possession of the box. The poo
wrens were in despair; they wrung thei
hands and tore their hair, after the wreI
fashion, but chiefly did they rattle ou

their disgust and wrath at the intruders
| have no doubt that If IL could have been
interpreted it:would have proven the rank
est and most voluble Billingsgate ever ut
tered. For the wren is saucy, and he has
n tongue in his head that can outwag any
other tongue known to me.
The blue-birds said nothing, but the
male kept an eye on Mr. Wren; and when
he came too near, gave chase, driving him
to cover under the fence, or under rub
bish.heap or other object, where the wren
would scold and rattle away, while his
pursuer sat on the fence or the pea-brush
waiting for him to reappear.
Days passed, and the usurpers prospered
and the outcasts were wretched; but the
latter fingered about, watching and abus-
ing their enemies, and hoping, no doubt,
that things would take o turn, and they
presently did. The outraged wrens were
fully avenged. The mother blue.bird had
lain her full complement of eggs and
was beginning to set, when one day, as
her mate was perched above her on the
barn, along came a boy with one of those
elastic slings and cut him down with a
pebble. There he lay like a bit of sky
fallen upon the grass. The widowed bird
seemed to understand what had happened,
and without much ado disappeared next
day in quest of another mate.
In the meantime the wrens were beside
themselves with delight; they fairly
screamed with joy. If the male was be-
fore "rufiled with whirlwind of his
ecstasies," he was now in danger of being
rent asunder. He inflated his throat and
caroled as wren never caroled before.
And the female, too, how she cackled and
darted about How busy they both werel
Rushing into the nest, they hustled those
eggs out in less than minute, wren
time. They carried in new material, and
by the third day were fairly installed
again in their old quarters; but on the
third day, so rapidly are these little
dramas played, the female blue-bird reap.
peared with another mate. Ali how the
wren stock went down then! What dis
may and despair filled again those little
breasts! 1t was pitiful. They did moi
scold as before, but after a day or two
withdrew from the garden, dumb with
grief and gave up the struggle. .-JOhI

A Remarkable Man.

One of the most remarkable men of
the present day is Baron Reuter-, the
monarch of the telegraph. The history
of his rise, from humble estate to be guest
of kings and courts, the autocrat of the
wires, and one of the wealthiest men in
Europe, is interesting and instructive.
Baron Reuter- was born in 1891, at Cassels,
principality of Germany. His parents
were Jews; his father, the Rabbi Josa-
phat, learned but poor man. AT the age
of nineteen he started out to seek his for
tune, finally arriving at Denzig, where he
was ill-used and halfstarved, subsequent
ly obtaining position as clerk in bank
ing-house at Gottingen. Whilst there he
submitted plan to the Russian Govern
ment for the improvement in its finances,
and the Gar, in acknowledgment, sent,
him $1,000 in gold. After this he ar.
ranged for partnership in a Berlin
house, married Miss Clementine Maguer,
the daughter of banker, and one of the
most elegant women of Berlin. He then
became Christian, and, out of gratitude
to his early protector, the Dancrath Reu-
ter, he adopted the name by which he is
now known to the world. After his mar
riage he removed to Paris, where he COM
menced the real aim of his life. His first
attempt at obtaining rapid news was that
of employing carrier pigeons to and from
places where there was no telegraphic
communication. At this time he was
| very poor, but, to his credit be it said, he
had all along supported his poor oIu
mother, who never knew how he had to
struggle to do it, but thought he was get
ting rich. In 1867 he left Paris for Lon
don, where he devoted himself assiduous-
| ly to getting first news, and very soon, by
dint of hard work, by the number of his
| agencies, by the cables he laid, and his
| perfect arrangements, he was enabled to
! get almost monopoly of news He forced
the London Times to his terms by obtain
ing the Emperor's celebrated New Year s
speech, which was the forerunner of the
Italian war, six hours before the Govern
ments of Europe were notified of it. In
1864 he sold out for 81, ,250,000, and when
the Government of England took posses
sion of the telegraph in 1868, he had privi
leges for which he received about $4,000,
900. The title of Baron was conferred
upon him IN 1870. He has four children
In height he is about five feet three inches
to five feet four inches, of slender build
high nervous temperament, energetic ano
quick He is exceedingly generous, anc
his soirees are surpassed by none in Lon
don. Such is the self-made man to whom
the Shah of Persia has conceded the open
| ing up of his kingdom by building rail
ways, canals, developing mines, erecting
telegraph wires, and doing what is re
garded as one of the most gigantic enter
, prises of modern times.-ErchGnge

A Cholera Incident of 1888.

THE following is an incident which oc-
CURED during the prevalence of the chol-
era in 1928, as narrated to us few days
ago by friend:
Mrs. Williams, then as now resident
of Fleming County, was taken violently
ill with cholera. The disease seem to have
run its usual short and terrible course,
and she was pronounced dead. Hurried
preparations for the funeral were made,
and the supposed corpse, dressed in the
habiliments of the grave, was placed in
the coffin. and the lid was being fastened
down when feeble though destinct rap
from within startled and arrested the
attention of those present; and, the coffin
lid being removed, the fact was family
disclosed that Mrs w. was still living.
Proper restoratives were at once procured
and applied, and Mrs w. recovered and
still lives, hale and hearty for one of her
age.
Our informant has often heard the old
lady speak of the occurrence, and of the
feeling she experienced how, from the
time she first discovered that the attend.
ants regarded her as dead, she strove to
give some sign of life to avert live bur.
fixing of the nails in her coffin nerved
her to more determined, last desperate
effort, which, happily, resulted as we
have stated-CdrIisle (Ry) Mercury.

The Battle of the BuIIfrOgs.

MANY of the citizens of Vermont will
remember to have seen on one-dollar bills
of the Windham County State Bank
vignette representing bullfrogs fighting
This was engraved to commemorate the
Battle of the Bullfrogs. The facts were as
follows: "Many years ago, when the
town of Windham was newly-settled, there
came a very dry season. There were two
large ponds in Windham, separated by an
intervening strip of land of considerable
extent Each of these ponds was inhabit-
ed by a large community OF requires
above.named. The smaller pond dried
up and its inhabitants started in BODY
for the lower and larger pond. They were
met in the intervening space by the COM
munity from the larger pond, and fierce
| and long-continued battle ensued between
the rival communities. Such was the
hideous believing of the frogs during
their fierce encounter that it alarmed the
inhabitants, who at first supposed it TO be
the whoop of the hostile sayages. But
curiosity getting the better of their fears,
they cautiously proceeded TO the. spot
whence the hideous sound issued, and
there beheld the strange spectacle of two
immense armies of bullirogs, covering
many acres of ground, engaged IN a feree
and deadly battle. This battle continued
more than twenty four hours, and Yhenft
was over the ground was literally covered
with the slain, and 1t became necessary,
to avoid the noxious effiuvia, 10 gamer
and bury them.-BOston Transcript.

Tremendous Hail-StOrm.

ONE of the experiences of the recent
Yellowstone expedition was the encoun-
tering of storm of hail of extraordinary
foice. A writer describing it says:
The storm occurred on Tuesday, the
oath, about four O'Clock in the afternoon.
1t came on with such force and rapidity
that the surveying party were taken by
surprise. Many of the animals broke
away from the wagons and stampeded.
Others were overturned and tumbled on
top of each other into n gullcy, the
animals only escaping through the break
ing of the harness. The cavalry horses
became unmanageable and ran away with
their riders. The whole company was
completely demoralized.
Major Townsend had rather a doleful
experience. "My horse" he said, "be-
came panic-stricken and utterly unman-
ageabie, and at last started off and ran
away with me- How long he ran with
me on his back i cannot say;
it seemed a good while, but the first
/ knew / was going over his head and
blowing the ground on all fours. Then
he started off into the storm and was

We went into camp on the spot, and SEN
out after the missing, and by dark, to my
great satisfaction, every animal belonging
to the command was in camp, my hors'
among the first. Scarcely a man among
us but received severe bruises; my hands
are black and blue from the blows of th'
hail-stones. Others had their heads Gu
and bodies badly bruised. A large yellow
dog was literally beaten to death, and
number of young antelopes were foun'
dead from the same cause. When tn
storm ceased the hail was from two t
three inches deep on level, and foot o

Elijah Harris, highwayman, was
recently locked up in a Chicago cell, for
pursuing his vocation on one of the streets
of that city, and, subsequently, young
man bearing the same patronymic, was,
for trifing oflense against the peace and
dignity of the city, sent to the same cell
to keep him company and sleep off the
fumes of the whisky he had imbibed in
immoderate doses. This last must have
been an impressible fellow, for he allowed
Harris the garroter to stand his trial for dis
orderly conduct, and the disorderly Harris
to stand his trial for garroting. The trick
was a smart one and worked admirably

after fell into the hands of the officia

A DRUNKEN GRAvE-DIGGER.- ex-
traordinary grave-diging story comes
from Hartford, Conn. A grave-digger
there, named Jacob, who was preparing
grave for smallpox patient, fearing
the disease, ran away as soon as the
hearse came into the cemetery with the
body. The bearers thought they should
hear no more of Jacob, and hired another
man to fill up the grave. The man hired
having also wholesome fear of the dis
ease, fortified himself with plentiful
inhibition of whisky, and when the
grave was half filled lay down in it to
rest Jacob had, meanwhile, got the
better of his fears, and returned to FIN
ISL the job. He did not look in the
grave, but began throwing in the dirt,
when vigorous kicking in the grave
startled him. This was too much for
Jacob, and, thinking that the small pox
corpse was coming up out of the grave
again, he ran for life. A policeman,
who heard the story, went and released
grave-digger No. 2, who was kicking
away in the grave, trying to overcome
the double load of sand and whisky, and
this grave comedy at length came to an
end.
The Hartford horse cars in winter
present such ridiculous appearance,
with their canvas covers, that once were
white but now are of an indefnable col
or, that the following dialogue seems
very natural: Passenger who wants to
get aboard: Noah. stop your ark. y
Noah probably felt little indignant
and did not stop. Again he hailed
Noah, stop your ark" Finally Noah
held up with the answer: Come. bur
ny up-the animals are all in except the
jackass.
