Naming the Baby.

A paying hoax was played few days
SINCE says Clarksville correspondent
of the Louisville Courier Journal, upon
the family relatives of one of our young
married men who had the good fortune,
or bad fortune whichever way the
reader construes it), of having an addi
ton to the family in the shape of boy
weighing nine pounds avoirdupois. A
friend of the parents directed a postal
card to each one of the uncles and aunts
of the little chap, bearing upon its back
this line
CO has new baby at his house
named after you"
In few days letters of congratula-
ton began to pour in. A gentle
man, one of its uncles, sent by ex-
press q beautiful silver cup, ac-
companied by these words So I thank
you for the honor that my finances will
not permit me to accept very often from
my numerous relatives. - Another,
writing from Paducah, feels "highly.
gratified that You should name your
boy after me and if it bears in reality
my name, and is not named just forty
five years after me, you can draw upon
me for his first boots, and I will honor
the draft" He sc smelt mice" An
aunt to the infant, writing from Hop
kinsvil1e, Ky. says You know not
how gratifed I am that you have named
your little girl after me. I am not well
now, but as soon as / am able to ven
ture out upon the streets I shall ac-
knowledge the honor in more becom-
ing manner" An uncle at Erin, Tenn,
writes Kiss the baby for me. do
not know how to thank you. AS soon
as I can find time to dig seven pounds
of ginseng I will send my little name
tinue to come from all sections, as the
family are quite numerous. The baby
is as yet unnamed and if it receives
the name of each one who has sent q
present, there is slim show for its fu-
ture existence.

GETTING EVEN WITH RAILROAD
The Lawrence (Mass.) Sentinel says
that number of months since Haver-
hill man desired some accommodation
of the Boston and Maine road, but was
refused. This action SO provoked him
that he det rmined to get square by
some means, and at length, noticing
that there was no draw in the railroad
bridge near the city, he determined to
put the company to the expense of
building one. So he commenced build
ing schooner of about 200 tons at q
point above the bridge, and now, as it
is nearly ready to launch, he will soon
load it with legitimate freight, sail down
to the bridge, and demand passage,
which the railroad people must grant
him, whether or no.

But saw no ship that looked like yours,
Where does the good ship lay2
I want to go on board of her"
And so you shall, said he;
81 But there are many things to do
When one comes home from sea-
You know the song you made TOR me
sing it morn and night
The little anchor on the left,
The great one on the right -"
'tBut how's your wife and little cne ??
s Come home with me, - he said.
sfGo on. go on; follow YOU"
followed where he led.
He had pleasant little house:
The door was open wide.
And at the door the dearest face
de9rer one inside!
He hugged his wife aud child: he sang
His spirits were so light
The little anchor on the left,
The great one on the right
'Tv as supper time, and we sat down
The sai,or's wife and child;
And he and / he looked at them,
And looked at me, and smiled
think of this when L am tossed
Upon the stormy foam;
And though a thousand leagues away,
Am anchored here at home
Then. giving each a kiss, be said,
% see in dreams at night
This little anchor on my left,
This great one on my right

CARRIER PIGEONS. is stated that
the New York Sun was the first news
paper to employ the aid of carrier
pigeons for the rapid transmission OF
news. Thirty years ago, before the
electric telegraph had come into vogue,
the Sun concern had a large pigeonry
upon the roof of its building, just over
its editorial rooms, where many carrier
we're maintained. In those days the
public were often surprised by the ap-
pearance of important news, brought by
the birds, in advance of the ordinary
mails. The advent of the telegraph su
perseded the Sun pigeons, and the de
partment as sold out.
