TALL TORTo1SES.
The largest Of the land tortoises; the TestMdo
ir1dica, has been found only in the Galapagos
group OF islands in the Pacific, aud on some OF
the islands Of the Indian Ocean, as Mauritius,
Rodriguez, Aldabra, and probably Reunion. For
many years they we're very abundant and OF enor-
mons size, as the islands on which they occurred
were all uninhabited by man OF by any large ter
restrlal mammal, and the tortoises we're subject
to no nntoward circumstances interfering with
their increase OF with their extraordinary longev-
itv: Ieguat in his account OF the French Prot
estant expedition to Rodriguez {169r saya:
"You see two OF three Thousand OF them in
flock, 30 that you may so above hundred

For mora than century these animals we're

Fond of Beasts.

In one of Landseer's early visits to
Scotland he stopped at village and took
a great deal of notice of the dogs, iotting
down rapid sketches of them on bit Of
paper. Next day, on resuming his Jour
ney, he was Mortified to find dogs sus-
pended from the trees in all directions.
or drowning in the rivers with stones
round their necks. He stopped a weep
ing urchln who was hurrying off with a
pet pup In his arms, and learned that he
was supposed to be an excise officer who
was taking notes of all the dogs he saw
in order to prosecute the owners for I'M
paid taxes. Another time he went to
Portugal, and the King sent for him to
express his admiration. "Ah, Sir Ed
win, said his Majesty, ct am glad to
see you; I'm SO fond of beasts

A Blind Statesman and His Wife.

The visitor to the House of Commons,
waiting at the door of the strangers
gallery, and watching the members Of
Parliament as they file in by the main
entrance, will no doubt have his eye par
ticularly arrested by a tall, fair-haired
young man, evidently blind, led up to
the door by young and petite lady with
sparkling eyes and blooming cheeks.
She will reluctantly leave him at the
door. The British Constitution would
be quite upset were o woman to invade
the floor of the House of Commons after
the chaplain's incantation has been
heard, even so far as to conduct her
blind husband to hisgseat; so she has to
consign him to a youth who stands
waiting to lead the blind member to his
place.
AS she turns away many a friendly
face will smile and many pleasant word
attend her as she trips lightly up the
stairway leading to the ladies' cage,
near the roof Of the house. The whisper
passes around, "One day, perhaps not
far off, she will take her seat beside her
husband, an remain there" And GER
tain 1t is that when ladies have the
suffrage, the first female member of par
lament will be the lady of whom I write,
Mrs. Fawcett. Not one-half of the
members of that body are as competent
as she to think deeply and speak finely
on matters of public policy, while not
the daintiest live doll moving about
London drawing surpasses her in
the care of her household, her husband,
and her child
The two whom I have mentioned are
as well-known figures as any who ap-
proach the sacred precincts of the legis-
lature. The policemen bow low as they
pass; the crowd in the lobby make a
path; the door-keeper, Mr.. White, the
most amiable Cerberus who ever guarded
an entrance, utters his friendly welcome.
The strangers ask Who is that and a
dozen bystanders respond, professor

tendent and Trustees in breaking up a secret
rebellious organization and furnishing the re-
sponsibe parties. In regard to the open revolt
OF December last the punishment inflicted by
the superintendent was lacking in well-tem-
pered moderation. The charge that the Super
intendent required all correspondence to pass
through his hands, was approved The charge
that the superintendent appropriated the funds
OF the students was found to be wholly untrue.
The charge that the Superintendent had insult
ed friends OF pupils was not sustained. The
charge that Mrs. Hill, Matron of the institution.
was incapable was found untrue The fnan-
clal condition of the institute was found to be
good, the funds being judiciously discussed.

eral attempts, and then came down with
out harm, and amid the wonder of the
fearstricken soldiers received his re-
ward.
Then every man laid hold of the rope,
and, with one mighty effort, brought the
head OF the image whirling to the ground.
As the head touched the earth it rolled
over and over, and then suddenly stood
still, In an erect position, facing the
small army and officers. With great
fear and trembling they fell down before
the head OF the image and prayed for for
g1Veness but the mouth gave no utter
ance. Finding there was no further
movem ent of the head, they all arose and
began to carry out the orders of their
commander. The image was in time
entirely broken to pieces, and turned
into currency with which to buy bread
for the perishing army.

How Buddha Fed an Army.

There was brazen image of Buddha
not far from the Poyang lake, and near
the borders of the great river of China.
When in sitting posture it was forty
feet high, ten feet in diameter, and
twelve feet across the shoulders. it was
seated in the Oriental position, with the
soles of the feet pointing heavenward,
and in the hollow of each foot four men
could rest So large were the ears that
in each q man could hide himself. This
huge image was made into three parts,
all of which were hollow. On one occa-
sion, the date not being known, some
beggars made an excavation into the
back of this monster Buddha, and stole
a great quantity of the brass. The
opening was quite large enough for any
one to walk into, and beggars were in the
habit of sleeping within and cooking
their meals, even to the number of
twenty men, and yet there was room.
In the seventh year of Heenfung
q850, great General, Tsung-Quo- Fan,
determined to avail himself of the ma
terial of which this great idol was made
to meet the wants of his suffering army.
He at once dispatched two trusty Off
GERS, with 400 men, with orders to pound
Buddha into pieces and bring it with
them.
When they arrived before the image
and beheld it's immense size, they said
p" How very lofty is Buddha, and how
difficult it will be for us to fulfill the
orders of our General !" They were at
loss how to begin. At last they con-
structed a ladder, and rested it against
the shoulders of Buddha. Then rope
was to be thrown over the head of the
great image, and in this way they hoped
to drag it to the ground. But not a
soldier dared ascend this ladder, for fear
took hold of them. A handsome reward
of ten teels ($13) was then offered to the
man who would ascend the ladder and
throw the rope over the head of Buddha.
Not soldier would volunteer. At last
beggar came forward who was bold
enough for the dollars. He assembled

to New Guinea, Australia, the Sandwich
Islands, and San Francisco. The walk
across the continent will finish the I'M
dertaking''
JUDGE mexican and Lawyer Whitney,
of Salt Lake, had a disagreement during
a session of the court After adjourn
ment, as the parties were leaving the
court room, the rate attorney so far lost
his temper as to say to the Judge: g IF
you mean to say what I said was false,
you lie. = The Judge, being a man of
peace, didn't resent this foul imputation
by striking out from the judicial
boulder and catching the. impertinent
lawyer upon the nose, but took other and
srer means Of admins rating punish
mcnt. So when court met next morning
Mr.. Whitney was dumbfounded at hear
ing an order read by the Clerk to the
effect that =" George E. Whitney pay a fine
of 500; that he is forbidden to practice
his profession in this court until, in open
court, at such time as shall suit the con-
venience of the court, he shall, in person
or in writing, make an unequivocal, ac-
ceptable apology for contempt of court;
that in default Of such payment and
apology within one month he be dis
barred" Mr.. Whitney will probably
think twice before he again insults
Judge of a United States Court.

The ChignOn.

The reign of the chignon is over: it's
glory has departed it's name is Ichab od.
No more do the fields of the far Indies
send their long fibres, which Hindoo
women sit in the sun and spin. to conn
terfelt the browning charm of woman.
The anathema has gone out against the
bravery OF the cauls and the round tires
Like the moon, against the head bands
and wlmples and crisping-pins It has
been pronounced anew that instead of
well-set hair there shall be badness, and
" burning instead of beauty"
A little while ago and the chionon was
all in all, and now there are none SO poor
to do it honor. Every rank and every
station then, except the fourth estate,
acknowledged it's power. That fourth
estate was always tainted with disloyalty,
and 1t never was quite the thing to issue
daily paper without fling at the top
lofty ruler OF the hour. But the filings
had no more effect than the bull against
the comet.
" Now Jove suspends his golden scales in air,
weighs the mems wit against the ladys hair ~
and of course the wit was the lghtest,
and the chignon kept it's triumphal way
with a sway that was all but universal.
Empresses proudly bent to it and abased
their tiaras beneath it, and Biddy fed her
pigs under its shelter. No place was too
remote for it. Like another ruler, its
morning drum-beat sounded round the
world. 1t was the delight of
Kings palaces, and the farthest hut
in the farthest wilds rejoiced in it. But
at last Fashion has turned down her
thumb her fiat has been hurled against
1t, and the mighty one has fallen. The
fine lady scorns it !; even Biddy will have
none OF it. And whether the earth
that, as some one has said of it in rela-
tionto hoop-skirts, rejects it, and refuses
to swallow it, and casts it up on ash
heaps and along the debris of railroad
lines-has swallowed the chignon, or
whether it has turned again and sought
its native lair in the recesses of the old
tombs that were robbed to make it. and
behind the prison doors that contributed
to it the shOrn convict locks, or whether,
like that tress famous i'll verse, it has
been translated into the sky
4" sudden star it shot through liquid air,
And drew behind radiant trail of hair:
Not Berence's locks first rose so bright
The heavens bespangling with disheYeIed light
there are none to say.
We only know that it has gone, and
apparently gone for good, and that it
certainly could not go for i'll and that
while it staid, after the manner of all
tyrants, it wrought such havoc that now,
if she draws us at all, "Beauty draws
us by a single hair" for it is about all
that the chignon, with it's dragging
weight and irritating heat, has left her. :
