A PLEASANT SITUATIoN.-Our friend
Parker went around the other evening
to visit the two Misses Smith. After
conversing with them for while, Miss
Susan excused herself for few mo-
ments and went up stairs. Presently
Parker thought he heard her coming,
and slipping behing the door suggested
that the other Miss Smith should tell
Miss Susan that he had gone. But it
was not Susan, it was old Mr.. Smith in
his slippers. As he entered the room
he looked round and said to his daugh-
ter: "Ah, ah! So Parker's gone, has
he ?-good riddance. I was just COM
ing down to keep my eye on him. I
hope he hasn't been proposing to you,
Mary Jane. I do not want any such
rn-jawed, red-headed idiot as that
round here. He hasn't got the sense of
rutabaga turnip or money enough to
buy clean shirt. He gets none of my
daughters. Ill shake the everlasting
life out of him if l catch him here again
mind me-"
Just as he concluded, Susan came
down, and not perceiving Parker, she
said:
"Thank goodness, he's gone. That
man is enough to provoke saint. I
was awfully afraid lie was going to
spend the evening. Mary Jane, hope
you did not ask him to come again?"
Then Parker didn't know whether to
stay there or to bolt, while Mary Jane
looked as if she would like to drop into
the cellar. But Parker finally walked
out, rushed to the entry seized his hat.

THE ALASKAN AUT0ORATs.

condition Of the Aleuts brought about
By the infamous favoritism Of the Fed

II the power of grasping and grinding
monopoly.
ceived letter in the Russian language
from the natives Of Ungr, Alaska, which
translated, reads a. follows: ,.f.
"On the 18th Of January, 1874, the
natives of the Island called . meeting
to send petition to the Government
in Washington, saying they suffer
great poverty and misery-that their
schools have been closed since the an
nsxation Of the Territory to the United
States. The cause of all this misfor-
tune is that the General Government
favors only the Alaska Commercial
Company, and their agents tyranpize
over and Cypress us in every way. The
Government, in giving them the uncon-
stitutional lease Of the fur-seal islands,
enables them to control the entire COM
Inerce and the inhabitants throughout
the entire Territory. They pray the
Government to allow the natives Of
other Islands to catch fur-seals. They
state that they are willing to pay 50 62
tax for each skin; that they will re-
ceive 500 in the London market, per
akin, and from the proceeds they will
be able to support themselves and es-
tabl!sh schools in the whole territory
for their children. Signed by Tayoun
ivan Thomin, and twenty others.
OF course the prayer of these poor
people will fall upon needless ears at

high favor with Grant and his corrupt

She then gave me her plan of action,
which was this: She had not fully made

divorce from her " brute" of husband,
after that her intendedmust buy a house
in the city to suit her fancy, furnish it
in complete style, and give her a title
to it her own name.
She then started to tell the number
ofservants she must have-I stopped
her right there with the question wheth-
er she proposed to furnish the money for
this outlay. Nor DOLLAR!
Presto, change! She assumed her
former looks, and as soon as I beheld
that, I jumped up with kind of ghast-
ly smile, and told her I wasn't much
in love with her anyhow. She arose,
gathered the broom, and started for
me, declaring she wouldn't allow no
brute of man to make faces at her.

TEACHING BIRDS TO SING TUNEs.--This
is done in the town of Fulda, where
they keep regular educational institu-
tions for bull6nches. They place the
young birds into classes of six to ten
each, and keep them in the dark, turn
ing a hand-organ for them when they
are fed. Finally the birds commence
to associate the music with the feeding,
and when hungry they commencefto to
sing few notes of the tunes they hear
daily. Those that do this are at once
placed in more cheerful room, when
some light is admitted. This encotr-
ages them and makes them more lively.
Then they like to sing. and are soon
taught more. The most difficult part
is the, first starting Of the birds, some
OF which have to be kept long time in
the dark, and on starvation rations be-
fore their obstinacy is overcome. In.
order to teach them several tunes they
receive (after being thus first taught in
classes) private instruction from the lit
tie boys of Fulda, each Of whom has o
few private pupils OF this sort. Their
education lasts nine months, when il is
completed, and the birds sent into the
world as accomplished performers.

SOME TREASURY GIRLS.

No one who has lived in Washington
but knows that majority Of the t.
male clerks come from the best families
of the country. 1t was in the treasury
that Gov. Fairchild Of Wisconsin found
his wife, aud she was the beautiful
daughter Of . distia guisbed public man.
The present United States district At
torney for South Carolina woed and
won the beautiful Alice Ingerson,
(whose father once occupied the high
position of Attorney General of Massa-
chusetts) from the Office OF the controll-
er of currency, and I might go on for
pages telling who is and who has been
there. Robert J. Walker, once Gov
ernor of Mississippi, Secretary of the
Treasury and retained as noble law
yer in all prominent cases, now has q
fair young daughter, VINO has recently
become an orphan, and is earning her
own support in the internal revenue.
Mrs. Mary johnson, daughter of Col.
Albert, who for long series of years
was head of the Typographical bureau,
has for ten years been a clerk in the
Treasury. Her husband was consul to
Florence, and died there a short time
before the war. Not long after, her
father died, and as she had two sons to
rear and educate, she laid aside all
pride and became Government clerk,
or, to he precise, female employe, fo,
the civil service masters say, inasmuch
as women are not clerks they cannot
compete for the 81, 200, 81 400, OF

gold is there. The widow of Major
Heap is clerk. There are many il
lustrious names to be found in all the
departments. The life these ladies live
is hard enough at the best, without the
tongue of detraction adding to thei1
trials. One thing, they are constantly
stung by the injustice done them in the
difference of pay between them and
the men, while they are held to even
a more rigid accountability. There is
a constant attempt to defraud them ol
their salaries for any absence, while
men can frequently be called away.
