Man and Monkey.

The London Echo says: The won
derful resemblance of some of the larger
apes to human creatures is especially re-
markable when they are suffering from
illness, or from what, so great is their
intelligence, we must acknowledge to
be sorrow. An ape of no common merit
having lately died in the geological
gardens at Dresden, an account has been
published of its last moments, which
give some idea of the almost human
dignity and pathos of its behavior on the
occasion. A few weeks of the destroy
ing malady, says asorrowing friend, had
been sufficient to change this being, SO
full of life, strength, courage-this
magnificent prototype of all quadrumana
into spectacle Of misery. The most
complete apathy had taken the place of
exuberant freshness and vivacity.
Mafuka, as this interesting creature was
called, appeared to suffer under dim
consciousness that she could expect no
relief, but only the alienation of her
pains, from those about her. This state
of things lasted till within few hours
of her death. Then, as the director of
the gardens leaned over his favorite, the
ape drew him toward her, placed her
arm around the neck of her kind friend,
and looked at him for some time with
clear and tranquil eyes; she then kissed
him three times, with short intervals
between each salute, motioned to be
laid upon her couch, gave her hand to
him-as though bidding farewell to q
companion of many happy years-and
slept never to wake again. Thus died
the quasi human Mafuka, fortified not
indeed by the rites of the church, "but
by those common to the wider brother.

A New York Restaurant.

Says correspondent of the Rochester
CAr0nicle Delmonico's, in New York
city, has made sometimes 800, 900 q
year clear profit, and can afford to pay q
rent Of 81, 900 year. But how many
OF our frst-class young men, the je,Inesse
dOre, must be annually ruined in order
to yield the enormous profit How
many casks of brandy and baskets OF
champagne must be guzzled, and how
many sons carried dead drunk home to
sorrowing fathers and mothers It was
at Delmonico's that Stokes took his last
glass Of brandy before going down to
the Grand Hotel for the purpose of
shooting Fisk. He needed an extra
drink in order to give him nerve, and
perhaps had not that last bumper been
taken he would not have done the crime.
It seems strangely harmonious in the
entire scheme Of retribution wrought
out so effectually in Fisk's death that
his murder should be referable to the
bar where he 80 often reveled. At Del
he was considered rare fol-
low, and indeed none could rival him in
the lavish flow of cash. Here he began

was but one of the denominations con-
aected with Delmonico's.

A Cure for Hard Times.

The New York Tribune takes rose
ate view of the condition of affairs, and
thinks that the hard times are working
out their own cure; but the slow opera
tion is hard to bear, and the editor
thinks that it can be accelerated if the
business public can be inspired with
more courage and confidence. The tor
por that follows commercial crash usu-
ally prolongs itself beyond the time when
its existence is necessity, and thus the
conditions for a renewal Of activity exist
for months, and perhaps for year or
two, before people venture to take ad-
vantage of them. Timidity holds them
back, and makes them take a gloomy
view of situation which is rapidly
Frightening. We believe that the foun-
dation for better times has already been
laid, and that the coming spring ought
to witness q decided revival in many
branches of trade. 1t is unfortunate
that the Presidential campaign comes
just at this time, for it is always dis
turbing influence in the channels of
business; but, on the other hand, we
have the Centennial exhibition to set
people in motion and unlock great
deal of boarded wealth, and to stimulate
enterprise by arousing patriotism. Here
tofore, the only advice to give to those
who chafed under the burden of the
hard times has been compressed in
single word-patience; but now the
time has come fora more cheering watch.

A New Responsibility.

The clerk was wondering how it could
be done when the man continued:
"You see that package 2"

How q Danbury Boy Works.

In emptying tub of washing water
for his mother there is not one boy in a
hundred who will descend to the feeble
artifice of pail and dipper. Neither
the protest OF his mother nor the weight
of the water intimidate boy. It is q
higher and nobler thing to strain than
to save the gizzard. He takes the tub
by the handles, and hugging it close to
his body, waddles forward. He has to
move with the greatest care to keep the
water, which attains smashing motion,
from overAowing on to his clothes. The
swashing increases with every movement
until little splashes on to him. Then
he sets the tub down and picks it up
again and carries it at the full length Of
his arms, straddling his legs around it
in order that he may advance, and going
forward an inch at time, while the
cords swell up in his arms and neck, his
face turns purple and his spine fairly
cracks. It is painful progressively
step is strain and pain, but there is
nothing ignoble about it. Even if he
should lose his balance in descending the
stoop, which he is likely to do, and in
falling catch the entire contents of the
tub over his person, still he has the
proud satisfaction of feeling that the
disaster was met in doing his full duty
AS a boy.
