Journeys Of q Steel Trap.

The Meriwether (Ga.) Vindicator
lates as follows the adventures of steel
trap: "Mr. Mark Crowder, who resides
few miles south of Greenville, has a
small steel trap which he placed in his
chicken house several months ago to
catch the minks that were troubling his
poultry. One or two minks being caught
by it, the trap disappeared without any
one on the place being able to explain
the cause. A week or ten days after the
trap was missed, the dogs caught and
killed mink in the swamp near Mr..
Crowder's dwelling that had the missing
trap fastened to one of his legs. After
the minks, the owls becoming trouble
some, Mr.. Crowder placed the trap upon
the top of tall pole, owls usually alight-
ing upon the tallest object in the vicinity
when meditating descent upon the
poultry yard. Ten owls were caught by
this arrangement, when the trap again
disappeared. About a week afterward,
Hal Crowder, who lives three miles from
his father, Mark Crowder, heard an I'M
usual commotion in his poultry house.
Repairing thither, he found an owl in
the house, which. upon being killed,
was discovered to have the missing trap
fastened to one of his feet. Mr.. Crowder
has his trap again..

Happy Every Day.

When you rise in the morning, form
the resolution to make the day happy
one to a fellow-creature. 1t is easily
done; left-off garment to the man who
needs it; kind word to the sorrowful;
an encouraging expression to the striv-
ing-trifles in themselves as light as air
will do at least for twenty-four hours.
And if you are young, depend upon it,
it will tell when you are old; and if you
are cid, rest assured it will send you
gently and happily down the stream of
time to eternity. BY the most simple
arithmetical sum, look at the result. If
you send one person away happily
through the day, that is 365 in the
course OF the year; and, suppose you
live forty years only after you commence
that course of medicine, you have made
Ia, 600 persons happy-at all events, for

A Centennial Mail.

A great many schemes have been de-
vised for raising money for all sorts of
purposes in this Centennial year, but
the First Presbyterian church OF Rah-
way, N. j., has devised and is carrying
into execution plan whereby it is pro-
posed'to preserve and transmit through
a period of one hundred years such let
tiers, records, newspapers, ETC., as those
of the present generation may wish to
hand down to such of their ineal de-
scendants as may be living on the 4th
day of July, 1876 The plan is to in
close such documents in copper, then
in lead box, and finally in granite
vault beneath the cornerstone of the
church. The postage " on such trans
actions is one dollar for each half ounce
weight, or fractional part thereof. So
that if this Centennial mail is patron
lied the church will make handsome
thing of it.

The kingdom of Dahomey is in some
respects one of the most curious and in
tereresting Of all the African principal
ties. The military strength is not to be
estimated by deducting women and chill
dren from the whole population. The
Amazons of this corner Of the world play
A very important part in its military
affairs, and if, unfortunately, we should
be compelled to goa and fetch the powder
and shot which this audacious potentate
has pledged himself to provide for us,
King Gelele's female regiments will form
a very interesting subject OF study for
the strong minded representatives of the
sex in England and elsewhere.
The number of the Amazons is some
what dubious Duncan speaks Of re-
view at Aboine in which ZOO of these
female warriors passed in procession be-
fore him. Skertchley, writing later,
SAYS their number may possibly be A.,
600. "They are divided into three
brigades," says the same traveller,
"known as the Kings company, the
right and the left wings. Each of these
has q peculiar iead-dress by which it
may be known. The Kings brigade
wear the hair shaved q la turban, and
bound with narrow fillets, with alhgators
of colored cloth sewn on them. The
right wing have their heads shaver,
leaving only a solitary tuft or two, while
the left wear their hair az nat,lrelle.
Whether these fair warriors have any
choice of regiments we are unable to say.
In some parts of the world there would
perhaps be some little heart-burning
among ladies who were divided into
corps, one of which was permitted to
wear its hair an nat,treltc, while another
was required to shave the head. ANA
IONS, however, whose conquests are sup
posed to be of the military order, are
perhaps above the triviahties of personal
adornment. Celibacy is enjoined upon
all, but few who are found to be essen
tial to the happiness of the King, or are
given in marriage to few OF the most
deserving soldiers. London Globe.
