How Monkeys are Captured.

Monkeys are pretty common, yet
as all the families are remarkably
cunning, has it ever occurred to the
reader how they are taken? Pitfalls
will take a lion, and the famished
monarch will, after few DAYS starv.
alton, dart into. cage containing
food, and thus be secured. But how
are mankeNs. .caught2 The. ape. .fami.
! ly resembles man. Their vices are
human. They love liquor and fall.
In Darfour and Sonar the natives
make fermented beer, of which the
monkeys are pasionately fl |. Aware
of this, the natives go to the parts of
the forest frequented by the monkeys,
and set on the ground calabashes full
of the enticing liquor. AS soon as
the monkey sees and tastes it, he ut
ters loud cries of joy, that soon at
tract his comrades. Then an orgie
begins, and then in a short time they
show all degrees of intoxication.
Then the negroes appear. The few
who came too late to get fuddled es-
cape. The drinkers are too far gone
to distrust them, but apparently take
them for larger species of their own
genus. The negroes take some up,
and these begin to weep and cover
them with maudlin kisses. When a
negro takes one of them by the hand
to lead him off, the nearest monkey
will cling to the one who thus finds
support, and endeavor to go on also.
Another will grasp at him, and so on
until the negro leads staggering
line Of ten or dozen tipsy monkeys.
When finally brought to the village,
they are securely Gagged and grad
ually sobered down; but for two or
three days a gradually diminished
supply of liquor is given them, so as
to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.

to be immense, and that word seems
to be the limit of what can be said
about it. All the figures about mil

anything about it, even the oldest in

Our in Indiana, recently, a chick
en- thief left the heel of his boot in
the coop, evidently having been
frightened and gone off in a hurry.
The chicken owner straightway re-
paired, not to the police station, but
to cobbler's, wisely inferring that
the man who lost the heel was not
going to wear that boot again until II
was mended. Presently man came
in to have little cobbling done, and,
to his great surprise, found out that
the shoemaker kept ready made heels
that fitted exactly.

From the Baltimore Gazette.


Frederick F. Schroeder, who is con-
structing steerable air-ship, as pre-
yiously announced, in which he de-
signs crossing the Atlantic, is making
raj 81 progress with the work. The
balloon part will have capacity of
l3o,OOo cubic feet of gas. and a lift
ing power OF LOCO pounds, inclusive
OF It's own weight. 1t viii have one
pulling and one pushing propeller,
front and rear; making, according to
the current that. the ship is in, 600 to
W fexoiuslans = minute. The
brighter the current the greater the
reyoiutlonssnd vice versa.
Inc propeiiers worklndependently,
so that the aeronaut can turn the boat
around upon its own pivot, and set
ting the ship against the current of
the air by just giving the propeller
so much OF revolution as to over
come the power of the current, which
it is expected will cause the ship to
remain still in air over any given
point. Mr.. Schroeder stated .yester-
day that with Photographic instru-
ments he can take views of any por-
tion of the country Or coast.
He believed that from a certain
height he can see the bottom of eve
ry river, lake and ocean through his
instruments, and be able to take pho
views of them. David
Bachrarch, photographer of this city,
will assist Schroeder in these seien-
tific observations and will travel with
him.
Mr.. Schroeder, continuing, said:
"The way | intend to prepare nv
balloon, it will be perfectly air-tight,
and will, therefore, remain in the air
any length of time. | can make the
ongest of trips, assisted BIZ my mo-
i've power, and the gas apparatus will

will be attached to the center of

Concerning the pardon of Ingersoll,
one of the New York Ring, sentenced d
two years since for term of five years,
the New York Herald says: The SUI
mise is that Governor Tiiden has par
doned lngersoll in order to qualify HIM
as a witness in the prosecution of other
members of the Ring, under the recent
Civil Remedies acts. II Ingersoll is
willing to tell all be knows the adminis-
tration of justice may be promoted by
his pardon. 1t is well known that con-
viction of an infamous crime destroys
mans competency as witness. Ii the
prosecution offers such a witness the
counsel for the defense always object to
has being sworn, and the Court Will sus-
tain the objection unless the defense
| fails to furnish proof Of the conviction,
or the prosecution shows that the offense
has been pardoned or the sentence set
aside by a higher court. A pardon
granted to remove PERSONS lnconpe-
tency as witness is not precisely the
same thing, though somewhat OF the
same nature, as the promise OF lmpunlty
given by prosecuting officer to one OF
! the conlederates in a crime on condltlon
of his turning States evidence. In the
latter case the the defense can not smut
out his testimony by pleading his crime;
but convicted torger can not testify in
in court, however willing he may be,
unless his disability is first removed by
pardon. If Ingersoil has promised to
tell all he knows there can be no doubt
that his testimony will be important
enough to justify the act of clemency by
which he could be brought upon the wit
ness stand and permitted to swear. No
court could receive his evidence against
the objections Of opposing counsel Win
out a pardon, which can alone remove
his disqualification. This pardon, there
fore, probably foreshadows a vigorous
prosecution Of suits tor recovering the
stolen money under the new statutes
passed by the Legislature a few weeks
ago, called the Civil Remedies acts.
