does it 90 heartily that it is difacult to
believe that he is not consciously amused
Then he cries, too, most mournfully, and
generally indulges in it when he hears
anyone speaking in piteous tones. When
the company had dispersed on the even
ing in question he looked as if aware
that he had shown himself off to some
advantage. and indeed went the length
Of saying, Poll is very pretty bird
Hes q good little boy" When drawing
near to the later hours he interrupted an
Interesting conversation by saying, "Are
you not going to your little beddies?
Polly is going to his beddie. Yes. Good
night, goodnight" He then leaped into
his ring, and retired for the night, evil
IDENTIFY highly satisfied with the days
performance.
/ am certain that have not recorded
the half Of what I heard Poll say, but
enough has been quoted to show that he
is post woaleIful bird. A lady offered
twenty gusEcas for him lately and was
astonishedto find that hundred guineas
would not buy him. The last time !
saw him he distinctly pronounced my
name after hearing it few times. He
then wished the Duke of Edinburgh
much joy, and informed me that he was
proud to have the honor of the acquaint-
ance of the Prince Of Wales. Indeed, he
seems to be extremely fond of this fu-
ture King, and an anecdote illustrative
of this trait in his character may very
conclude this paper. When
His Royal Highness, accompanied by his
beautiful Princess, was IN Edinburgh
laying the foundation-stone of the new
Infrmary, the royal procession passed
along Princess street and halted for
few minutes opposite Mr.. Truefitt's win
dow, which was open for the occasion.
A maiden lady of democratic principles
was heard to say very ostentatiously
that the people of Edinburgh were very
foolish in making such an ado about two
common mortals like themselves. Some
one very politely told her to hold her
tongue, but she would not be put
down until Poll, who was brought to
the open window, fairly silenced her by
shouting until the procession moved on,
" Hurrah for the Prince of Walesw
That sentence was the birds latest ac-
quirement, and all who heard him were
in saying that he made the
best possible use of 1t. Polls linguistic
clearly show to what
lengths bird can be
taught to speak, not by mere note, but
with a wonderful degree of nationality
and adaptation to circumstances .-Cham-
bers' Journal.

LITTLE JIMMIE.

In his little chamber cosy,
With his cheeks 40 round and rosy,
Thinking not Of care or weeping,
Little Jimmie's soundly sleeping,
Listening only to the singing
OF the birds his dreams are bringing.
He's cunning little fellow,
With his hair Of glistening yellow,
And mouth as sweet and rosy
As the rose, his favorite posy;
But no garden flower, the tallest,
Dares compare with him, our smallest.
When comes floating, merry laughter,
Yon may know he follows after.
If you hear clear voice ringing,
You may know that he is singing:
But be sure II you hear signing
That he's not the child a-crying."
He's sunbeam all the daytime,
He's the life Of every playtime.
When the stars their watch are keeping,
He's cherub sweetly sleeping.
He makes all things bright about him
Oh, we couldn't do without him!
-Rurdi Nesc Yorker.

How many acts of smuggling are per-
petrated no one knows; we are only
cognizant of those which are found out,
on the principle that
What is hit is history,
But what is missed is mystery.
In recent year 13O pounds
of tobacco and cigars were concealed
by one Of the engineers in hollow
beam in the engine-room of a steamer;
the Argus eyes of the English GUS
toms officers ferreted out the secret
when the steamer entered port. In an
other instance vessel came over from
Stettin. in the Baltic, with several casks
of camomile flowers among the cargo; in
the very midst of the camomile the
officers found $50 pounds OF cigars. A
similar mode of illicitly introducing
13O pounds of cigars was about the same
time adopted in vessel hailing from
Hamburg Early one morning nearly
1000 pounds Of tea were found quietly
reposing in furze brake in Guernsey,
evidently waiting for favorable oppor-
tunity of transit to some part Of the En-
glish coast, there to take its chance
of evading customs duty. On another
occasion several cases of glue were
found to have more than l 100 pounds OF
cigars snugly embosomed in their midst
One day coast-guardsman near Ports
mouth saw a boat laden with barrels OF
snuff drifting about; the quantity was no
less than 1900 pounds; the owners
were probably not far off, but did not
deem it prudent to come forth and show
themselves. A French fishing bark, the
Jeune Henrsette, came into an English
port with forty pounds Of tobacco con-
cealed among the fish and the tackle. In
one instance 600 pounds of tobacco were
found concealed in some bags OF hops IN
q vessel coming from Ostend; on con-
yiction the owner could not or would not
pay the duty and fines; so he was put
Gin durance vile." A cask OF potatoes
was the hiding place Of another batch OF
smuegled tobacco. One ingenious rascal
outdid most of the others in inventive
ness; he concealed four pounds OF
Cayendish tobacco inside two loaves OF
German bread!-Haspcr's Bos0r.

WHAT A WOMAN Can DO.-The most
puzzled man in the United States lives ut
Sandusky. The other day he waxed at
once vind.ctive and ingenious and he re-
solved to protect the sauctity of his hearth
and home by cute straiagem. In pursu-
ance Of this idea, he mingled arsenic in n
bottle of wine and placed it where any bur
glar would see it, and unless practical be-
levers in total abstinence, would drink
therefrom and surely die. Now, the wife
of this Intelligent Sanduskian is an orderly
woman, and when she found that bottle of
wine placed in conspicuous position, she
said that ''was just like John he never
did have any neatness, and she knew u
when she married him" Then she took
the bottle and put it in the cellar with eight
dozen other bottles. and arranged them
neatly in rows, and contemplated her work
with innocent pride. Then she told her
husband about it. Since he exhausted al
his vocabulary Of profanity he has been
spending his leisure time ia looking at
those bottles aI:d trying to recognize rlre
one which he prepared for The poor bus

THIS is not good poetry, but it is as near
the truth as people generally get:
If Lazarus had lived to-day-sot down in
some mans door
And that mans dog had come along and
licked old Laz's sore,
I'm satisfied. with all the Christian feelin'
that he has,
He'd ''station- house" poor Laz and lick
the dog for lickm' Laz.

BOTANICAL SwEARING.-We have all
heard of Botany Bay, in Australia, as a
place whittier convicts were formerly sent,
and where there was doubtless much swear
ing, but it is a new thing for botanical
names to be mistaken for oathS. The story
goes that man wrote to the editor of a
horticultural journal, asking what plants
would be suitable additions to dried grass
es for winter ornaments. The editor re-
piled
s.Acrocolinium Roseum, A. album, Com
phrena glObosa and c. globosa camea."
When the man read this he fairly boiled
over with rage, aad Immediately sent r
note ordering his paper to be discontinued
He averred that an editor WIG swore in
that way, just because he was asked sim
pie question, should have no support from
him.
This reminds us of an English traveller
whose conscience would not allow him to
France, where he was staying, the walters
were so accustomed to hear Englishmen
use strong language, that they considered
him milksop, and neglected him accord
ingly. He therefore hit upon this expedi-
ent to secure a proper amount of attention.
Whenever he gave an order he rolled out
in sonorous notes the words ''Northumber-
land, Cumberland, Durham" The effect
was marvellous. He was henceforth wait
ed upon with the greatest alacrity and as
siduity

THOSE FIsH.-Hon. b. L. Hewitt, of HOl-
liday Sburg, one of the three Fish Commits
sioners OF the State yesterday sent to Crcs-
son SereR hundred salmon trout in one can,
to be delivered to Judge Reese J. Lloyd and
j. Alex. Moore, Of this place, who have ia
ken q great personal interest in the expert
Inent of introducing fish into the streams of
this section. We understand from these
gentlemen that it is their Intention 10 dis
tribute the fish in equal numbers in Shinkle's
dam, adjoining our borough, which is one of
the sources of the COnemaugh-in Behe's
dam, about three miles northeast of this
place which flows into Chest Creek-and in
the dam of Evan j. Evans, three miles north
west Of Ebensburg, branch of Blacklick
creek. We trust the experiment will prove
decided success, and express the thanks
of our citizens TO Messrs. Lloyd and Moore
for their active efforts in procuring the fish,
and TO Mr.. Hewitt for furnishing the same.
There is no object more worthy of State aid
and encoura cement than the culture of fish.
1t has been commenced under the most IA
vora5le auspices, and if pr' per managed,
as we think il viii he, cannot fail TO prove
an invaluable benefit TO the people, not only
of this county, hut of the State at large.
=. S. The fish safely reached this place
yesterday afternoon, the conductor of the
branch train, Mr.. NJ A. Quartz, having
made an extra run TO CrrsSon TO receive the
eau containing them. They were yesterday
afternoon and this morning placed in the
dams named and have, ere this, gone on
their way rejoicing. A few of the fish are
now on exhibition in glass jar at DR..
Piank's office.

ANoTHER LITTLE EGG SToRY.-On Sat
urdav morning an atldche Of the Logan House
in the person Of Mr.. John RespaS, who eX-
ercises a superintendeucy over the slaugh-
trring OF all fowls around that popular and
spacious caravausera, made the startling
discovery that one of the hens which he was
engaged in preparing for the manipulation
OF the cooks contained eleven eggs, seven Of
which were fully developed with the eXcep-
tIon that the membrane of each was soft and
pliahle, while the remaining four were in
an embryo state. We saw those eggS-eleV-
en- in numher-and have the authority OF
the individual named who is cOrroborated
by other parties, that they were all found
inside of one hen stated. John Respas
asseverates that he was never so much " 'eI-
priced in his life when the eggs commenced
to roll out" The hen in question pur-
chased In Philadelphia, and evidently inten-
ded to do her full share toward providing

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE
Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another
with palpitatiOn, another with trouble of
the breast, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present alike
10 themselves and their eaSy-gOiug aGd in
different doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which he preScribes his pills and
potiOns, assuming them to be such, when,
in reality they are all symptoms caused by
some uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palliate for a time
they are ignorant of the cause, and encour-
age their practice until large bills are
made, when the suffering patients are no
better in the end, but probably worse for
the delay, treatment, ard other compliCa-
tions made, and which proper medicine
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed, thereby iustituting health and
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
