"How a man protesting to be aChris

An Enterprising woOd-sawyer.

Emerson Wight, elected, most un-
expectedly to himself and friends, to
the Mayoralty Of Springfield, COM
menced life as a wood-sawycr. He
had the contract with the Western
Railroad, now Boston & Albany, to
saw the wood required on their en-
gines, and as coal was not used in

or two assistants, he moved from sta
ton to station, and, by .untiring in
dustry. kept the locomotivessupplied,
gained the good will of his employers,
and put money in his purse. I'm
luckily, when off his guard one day,
he fell upon the track before an ap-
preaching engine and both his legs
were cut off below the knee. After q
short confinement he was out again
and about his business as lively as
ever having supplemented his pedal
cxtrcmities witha pair Of cork legs.
His good common sense and thorough
business qualities, which had a per-
manen. location at the other extrem-
ity of his body, have given him at
about the age of fifty a sufficient for
tune and the deserved appreciation
of his fellow-citizens. He hasseryed
two terms as Representative in the
Legislature, held various offices IN
the city government, and will do
honor to the position to which he
has Just been called.-Bostoa Team

Judging.

II can't make out" said a Hooded
Crow to a friend, "why it is that that
eagle, that golden eagle that lives on
the topmost crag of the rock beyond
the glen, won'tlet anycreature build
or dwell near her. How solitary We
should be. Can you understand it?'
"No," said the friend.
/. aAnd / can't make out why she
thinks it necessary to fly so strenu-
lously high; if We were to be but half
of the height up we shouldn't beable
to see anything on the ground
Can you understandit?"
aNo," said the friend.
aAnd / can't think why she drives
her young from the eyrie, and even
from her haunt, before thesnow comes
it seems most unnatural. You and
I wouldn't do it would we9n
"Ncishbor," said the other, shave
but one answer to make to all your
remarks and questions; and that is,
hooded crows are incapable Of under
standing, therefore should never pre-
tend to Judge, the ways and actions
of eagles"

sThc researches of DR.. schliemann.
on the supposed site of the city Of
ancient Troy, have recently been
awarded by discoveries which have
a worldwide interest, proving not
only the existence of the city, 50 often
and 50 strenuously asserted to be
purely mythical, but the general ae-
curacy both of the Homeric and Vir-
gillian, the Greek an Latin, accounts
of the people, their celebrated citadel,
and its ten years siege. Theserere-
lations prove uncontrovertibly that
the site Of the city, supposed by Her
odotus, Xenophon, Plutarch, and
many other writers to be on the
nights now called Hissarlik, was ac-
curately laid down by those writers.
Indications of a destruction by fire,
terrible enough to have justified Yir-
gils tremendous description, have
also been found; and the Trojan god
dcss (NlinervD is exhibited, in the
