DEFYING TIE BUZZARDs "A fellow who
was in the habit of getting drunk whenever he
went to town, in returning home one day fell
from his horse and was as quiet as though
dead, A huzzard spied him. flew round and
round, and picked his nose, which aroused the
fellow little. The bird s'lpped up and struck
him aoaiD, this brought one eye open, and as
he realized that the bird thought he was dead
he wheatbed his lips with drunken scOrn, and
Looking the bird square in the face said :
" You needn't be 50 id smart | am not so
dead as you think am"

NATURAL HISTORY.

BY UNCLE JOIN.

Here we have a queer-looking animal in
deed. Did you ever see a kangaroo? They
have been known to measure as much as
nine feet in length. from the tip OF the
nose to the end of the tails, and they
weigh from 100 to $50 pounds. They are
slender about the upper parts. The fore
legs are about foot and a half long, while
the hinder ones are sometimes over three
feet long, and perfectly bare and callous,
and the animal frequently sits on his hind
legs. You will also notice that the kanga-
roo has very long tail. This is so strong
too, that it occasionally serves the purpose
of an additional leg.
The kangaroo is native of New Hol-
land, and three species are known to exist.
They were first discovered in the year 1870
by some OF the persons who accompanied
Captain Cook in his first voyage around the
world.
The little boys and girls will not he
slow in guessing that the kangaroo moves
chiefly by leaps 1t has been seen to leap
over twelty feet at time, and TO go faster
than the ileetest glayhound. They are
frequently pursued by hunters on horse
back, accompanied by dogs When they
are closely pursued, they defend themselves
by their feet, teeth and tail. They can
strike with the later sufficiently hard to
break IN ms leg.
The little ''baby kangaroo arc babies i'll
deed, for they seldom exceed an inch in
length. They are reared in an abdominal
pouch, similar to that of possum, of
which animal ! will tell you after while.
The kangaroo Ives principally under
ground and feeds mostly on grass. 1t has
various peculiar traits, but my space is oc-
cupied, and | must leave you for another
month. YOURg Fols

had dog Towser, too. lie was eight
years old when he died. One night when
was little boy, pa was away from home
and a man came to the house ma took
the lamp and went TO the door and saw
there man drunk. She would not let
him in but she went and called Towser.
The dog watched the man, who wore SOL
dies's clothes, and Towscr was SO angry
with the strange man for talking SO rough
and saucy to ma, that he would never let
anybody In the yard after that who wore
soldiers dress.
Pa and ma could go out at night and
leave us children by ourselves, and we were
never afraid, because Towser was such
good watch dog. l will write some time
about Sharp, who is much handsomer
dog, but not near as good as Towser.-

those apples back into the basket.
When half the apples were replaced, the
son said
"Father, they roll off. can't put in any
more"
''Put them in, | tell YOU"
But, father, | cant put them in.
Put them in Why, no, of course you
cant't put them in. Do you expect to fill a

WE republisht this morning the HER
AIDS report of the official vote of the
state last December between Coke and
Davis. The radicals being In authori-
tyat that time, and not being pleased
with the result of the. election, they
failed to make up general statement
and file it In the archives of The state
department.. The statement published
by the HERALD was made up with
great care by Major John Henry
Brown, and was accepted by all the
press Of the state as accurate and COM
plete. AS 1t will be interesting to
compare the vote polled to-day with
the vote polled last winter, we lay last
winters vote before our readers this
morning, SO that as the reports of to.
days election come In from the differ
ent counties they may compare the
two.
AT the same time we cannot refrain
from expressing the earnest hope that
to-day's sun may go down upon DEM
ocratic vote Of one hundred aud fifty
thousand votes.
