does much to attract, certainly he is of the
best pantomimists the country has ever possessed.
He is brmful and in fact running over with rollick
ing good humor, and is pronounced the best clown
living on either side Of the water. His fun con-
tans no vulgarism but is replete with innocent en-
joyment Of kind that sends everybody from the

it is presented in New York. Reserved seats for

feats that remind one of the stories told
about Zerah Colbgrn. He was always
bright. and possesses q remarkable mem
ory. We heard of him the other day,
and in company with two or three men,
bers of the school board, went to the
home of the prodigy for an interview,
He was marvelously ready with answers
to every question. Our easy starters
such as "Add and 3, and and 8, and
and 8 and 5, were answered like q
fash, and correctly every time. Then
when we got the little fellow at his ease,
one of the directors took him In hand.
He said
ssThree times II, plus 8, minus IL,
divided by 8, plus 1, multiplied by g.,
less 8, add z, is how many?"
Nine, I" shouted the boy, almost be-
fore the last word was spoken, and the
school inspectors and the newspaper
man locked at each other In blank
amazement. Then the other inspector
tried it

" Ninety-sixr' fairly yelled the de-
Eghted boy, clapping his hands with
nlerriment at the amazement which
crowned the countenances of his inter-
viewers, and the inspectors turned to
the paper man and said, "Tske him,
Mr.. Hawk-Eye."
Then We did our best to throw the
boy. As fast as we could speak, with
out punctuation. we ratified off this

But before we could say the last sylIa-

seven-eighths Ask me a harder one -
We had seen enough, and with feel
ings amounting almost to awe we left
this wonderful boy. We talked about
his marvellous powers all the way down.
Finally it happened to occur to one of
the inspectors to ask the other in
speetor
Did you follow my example through
to notice whether the boy answered it
correctly ?"
The tone of amusement gradually
passed away from the inspectors face,
as he family gasped
"N-n-no, not exactly, did you ?"
Then the first inspector ceased to look
mystified, and began to look very much
like Mr.. Skinner did when he got the
Nebraska fruit, and they both turned to
the gentleman who represented the lit
erary department of the expedition, and
said lugubriously

The Divided House Of sedan.

The cottage where the two emperors
met is known as La Maison des Deux
Freres Ennemis, " from fact which is
but little known, and which is another
proof that accession of fortune is often
acquired at the expense of domestic
peace. The house belonged to two
brothers, half TO ea~h. The room in
which the celebrated meeting was held
is in the corner of the cottage nearest
to Sedan but in 1871 the entrance door
was at the other extremity nearest to
DoncheTy, and looked upon the road in
front. When the room was being pre-
pared for the interview-that is to say,
when the round table and the two straw
chairs which still remained had been
brought in-the emperor, who was some
distance of, was informed that all was
ready. Re alighted from his carriage,
entered the front door, and went up
stair5-that is to say, he came in at the
right side and entered the room situated
to the left. After the war was over,
and, indeed, before, great many visitors
went to see the house, and, after the
mannero tourists, were careful to follow
the same road, to 90 up the same stair
case and sit in the same room as Ma
pOleOn III. and Prince Bismarck. The
owner of the room soon began TO make
a good thing of tho curiosity of the
visitors. BE sold photographs of the

the emperor had given to his humble

short, that this unexpected meeting
produced a golden shower, but his
brother, the owner OF the staircase, put

said, that as the visitors went mp his
staircase, he ought, in common Justice,
to get half the proceeds of the exhibit

the way unless his demands were salts.
fed. His brother looked at the matter
IN different light, arguing that people
did not come to look at the staircase or
the passage, but at the room, which
belonged to him. Day by day the
quarrel grew worse, both were eqtially
stubborn, and the domestice peace of
the house was fatally disturbed. Soon
a stone wall was built between the two
halves OF the house, and the weaver
opened a new door and erected a new
staircase, so that nowadays visitors no
longer use the old staircase on the right
up which the emperor passed. Every
day travellers come from all parts of the
world to stare at the bare walls of the
room and sit in the straw chairs, 80 that
the weaver makes a deal of money, but
peace is not restored in the 60 Maison

THE BETTING THIS SEASON.
This has been an exceptionally lively
year for betting. 1t is said that more
than three quarters of a million dollars
have been placed upon the jerome Park
races alone, while the sum total of bets
on the southern and western races and
the events of the Long Branch summer
meetings exceeds two millions of dol
lars. The races in the west and south
which opened the season this year as
usual, aroused an interest and euthusi-
asm totally unexpected IN view of the
general stringency of the money market.
There were five horses matched, and
there was an indication of almost
national interest that these events create
IN European countries. The booksellers
state that the amount likely to be risked
within the coming month on the Long
Branch races, and later on the Daily
mount rifle contest, and the yacht races,
will be more than double the sum
wagered during any previous year.

head was low and slightly retreating,
the lower part of the face projected
like the muZzle of monkey, and the
mouth, which was small and oval, wi h
thick ps, piotruded about an inch be-
yond the nose he had short handy
legs, a comparative long body, and
arms that extended almost his knees,
the back, just above the buttocks, was
concave, making the stern appear to

fingers were dUmpy and always con-
tracted, so that they could not always
be made to stretch out quite straight

covered with thick skin (more especially
the tips Of the fingers), the nails were
small and imperfect, and the feet broad

Good Words for the Grange.

Nothing is more true than that aori-
culture is the nursing mother of all the
arts, aud nothing is more untrue than
the equally trite saying, agriculture is
the most independent of all the indus
trial callings." But this last is only
untrue because the farmers, oblivious
of their own best interests, have suffered
themselves TO beeome, through the
omnipOtent powers of combination, the
slaves of political demagogues, and the
victims of capitalists, corporations,
middle-men and traders-mere vermin
upon the lions name of Agricultural
and each of which, collectively and in
dividually, are indebted to the cultiva-
tor of the soil for the food which
nOurishes aud the Iaiment which clothes
their bodies. How common it is for
farmers to neglect their business to en-
list body and soul in ienoble party and
local politics? How many piows are
left to rust in the furrow, while the
team is worn out in galloping through
the country In the interest of some
petty local, non-produciDg demagogue
How much money and time is wasted
on local and scurrilous political sheets,
to the neglect of the agricultural press?
