A Tolerably Good Joke.

For months past the employees of the
Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapo-
lis road at the Louisville freight depot
have been much annoyed by goats which
infested that locality. Often the clerks
would find the tags on bales of cotton
chewed oil, and suffer other annoyances
from their presence. Finally it was de-
termined to ship the goats to Indianap-
Oils. Accordingly posse of men drove
them into an empty box car and sent
them northward, the goats arriving in
good condition. The employees here,
not knowing the class of freight the car
was laden with, threw the door open,
and out leaped half dozen badly
frightened goats. The employees soon
caught the fright, fearing they were a
valuable species Of goats, and agents,
clerks, truckmen, and all were quickly
rallied to capture the animals. They
succeeded after chase of an hour or
more, and a dispatch was sent to Louis
vile for waybill. A telegram was re-
ceived in answer reading, ssLet the goats
loose" The true inwardness of the case
then came to light, and it is by no
means healthy to say "goat'' to any en-
ployee of the freight depot, from the
oiler up indianapolis Journal.

PROF. CRoOKEs, of London, has ac-
tually succeeded in weighing the light
OF candle, although light has hitherto
been considered imponderable. The
principle ofhis delicate and complicated
instrument is based on the fact that a
fine thread of glass, suspended at one
end, may be turned round twenty or
thirty times without breaking. and has
a tendency to untwist itself. By fasten-
ing such a thread in a tube, and throw
ing ray of light on the inteEior, it has
been found possible, with the aid of
ether scientific appliances, to register
the revolutions and tensions caused by
the Introduction of the light of a candle
into the tube, the result Of which is that
it weighs about 0.0O1728, or nearly two
thousandth parts of grain. Taking
this as an approximate starting point,
we find that the light thrown out BY the
sun on the earth is equal to about
thirty-two grains per square foot, or
fifty-seven tons to the square mile, or
5000, 000, 600 tons On the whole earth,
a force that, but for gravitation, would
drive our planet into space.

Explosion Of . Barrel Of soar.Krout,

About 9 O'Clock on Sunday night,
says the Adrian (Mich.) Press, when
the storm was at its height, number
of the inhabitants on the "Hill'' were
startled by q report resembling salvo
of 100 pieces Of artillery. High above
all the din of dashing rain and detonat-
ing claps of thunder it rose, and for a
few moments it seemed to those who
heard it as if the judgment day had
come. In few minutes some of the
most daring darted out through the
tempest in the direction whence the aw-
full noise proceeded, and encountered
one of our German citizens, shouting
at the top Of his voice, like one crazed
90 mein sauer-kraut! Mein sauer-
kraut!'
All endeavors to pacify him were I'M
availing, and while some took charge
of the miserable man others entered his
building. Here scene presented itself
that completely beggars description.
On the lounge sat the 9 frau, q picture
of despair, endeavoring to ttunkrout,
her new dress, while three children,
nearly covered with sour krout, were
flying about the apartment taking hand
fuls Of the stuff out Of their mouths,
noses, and eyes. Every article OF furi-
niture in the room was displaced, and
over the door and all around was krout
sour krout.
1t soon transpired that large barrel
full of krout had been brought up from
the cellar to the fire to be thawed out,
and the head being closely nailed on,
the gas generated had no vent and ex-
ploded with terrific force, bursting the
barrel and scattering the contents in
every direction. The entire apartment
was for the time being converted into q
strange phantasmagoria. From every
piece of furniture hung festoons Of sour
krout like Florida moss in Southern for
ests. The superintendent of the gas
works gives it as his opinion that the
catastrophe was caused by s'the oxyge-
mated xylophorium being precipitated
anonymously on the categorical section of
the elliptical cylinder, thereby causing
sudden rododendron on the homogen-
eous conglomerated mass, which caused
the sour-krout to explode. We are
pretty much of the same opinion as to
his conclusion, though we don't exactly
agree with his premises. We sympa-
thize with our unfortunate friend in his
loss, and hope that it may prove warm
ing to others under similar circum-
stances.

The Education Of the Presidents.

The Syracuse University Herald has
made up the following table of Pres
idents and their places of education,
which is of interest:
Washington-Good English education, but
never studied the Ancient Languages.
Adams-Harvard.
Jetierson-William and Mary.
Madison-Princeton.
MonrOe-William and Mary.
Adams, j. Q.-Harvard.
Jackson-Limited education.
Van Buren-Academic education.
Harrison-Hampden Sidney College.
Tyler-William and Mary.
Polk-University Of North Carolina.
Taylor-Slightest rudiments.
Fillmore-Not literally educated.
Professionalism.
decentralization
DISQUALIFICATION very limited.
JOhns0n-Self- educated.
Grant-West Point.
Monroe and Harrison did not gradu-
ate. Monroe left college to join the
Revolutionary army. Financial reverses
deprived Harrison of full course. Polk
was the Oldest when graduating, being
%; Tyler the youngest, II. The ma
jority graduated at 20, this being also
the average age. Jefferson probably
had the most liberal education and
broadest culture. It is said that his
range of knowledge would compare ia
vorably with that of Burke. The drill
at West Point may be considered equal
to a college course, and in many re-
spects superior. In discipline and math-
ematical training it is not equaled by
any American college. Counting Gen.
Grant, two-thirds of our Presidents have
been college men.

RAISING A FAMILY.-About the year
1900 one Lady Elphinstone died, the
mother of thirty-six BARNS, OF whom
twenty-soven were living at one time.-
The late Bishop Bathurst, of Norwich,
was the twenty-sixth child of Mr.. Bath
urst, younger brother of the first Lord
Bathurst. But this is only part of the
story for Mr.. Bathurst, who had had
twenty-five children by his first wife, was
destined to have fourteen by his second,
making n good round threo dozen alto.
gether. Rather distinguished in this way
were the Bathursts, for two brothers and
sister of his had, during their mar
ried lives, sixty-four children, which,
with his thirty-six, made Just an even
hundred. Another married couple Thos
and Helen Urquhart, are ranked among
those who have had thrty-six children.
The parents lived at Cromarthy Castle,
in the early part of the sixteenth century,
their twenty-five sons all grew up to man
hood, and many of them became distin-
gushed, while the eleven daughters all
lived to be married, and many Of them
the mothers of large families. The Ur-
quhart blood, therefore, must have been
rather extensively diflused in Scotland
by the end Of the century. An authenu-
ticated case Of thirty-nno brothers and
sisters was afforded by the Greenhil fam
lily, in the closing part OF the seventeenth
century. Thomas Greenhill Il surgeon,
afterwards tho author of treatise on the
Art Of Embalming," addressed in 1868
his capacity Of Earl Marshal OF England,
that in consideration OF your petitioner
being the seventh son and thrty-ninth |
child OF one father and mother your Grace
would be pleasee to signalize it by some
particular motto or augmentation in his
coat Of armor, to transmit to posterty SO
uncommon thing" Tho College of
Arms, or llerald's College, Of which the
hereditary Earl Marshal is the official
head, assented to tho application Of Mr.
Greenhill, by granting an addition to the
armoral bearings Of the family. In the
language Of horaldry, which is not very
intelligibIe to outsiders, the addition was
in the form Of a "demi-grifin, powdered
with thirty nine mullets.-AU The Year

A PROFANE PARRoT.-A Boston fam
lily has remarkably intelligent parrot,
which repeats everything it hears, and
which some bad boys have taught to
swear awiully. 1t finally did little talk
ing except Of II profane character, and to
cnre its propensity was repeatedly souscd
in cold water, and placed near the stove
TO dry. During a recent storm some
chickens, which had become very wet
and chilled, we're brought into the house
and put by the stove TO revive item. 1t
so happened that the parrot had just
been ducked himself, and after surveying
he chickens for some time, he cried out
in oracular tones: "Little d--n fools,
