Wanted His Hair Cut.

As . stranger came Gus OF the Washing
ton Hotel yesterday he was accosted by a
Manufactured swamper with long-howing
hair hanging down over his shoulders and
his pants go short that one could not help
thinking his feet had been run too far
through them.
Are you a Christian mani" asked the
lean. lank and cadaverous swampe of the
hotel guest,
"Wel 1 don't know" said the stranger,
cycling the swamper with some curiosity.
1t depends upon circumstances.
Gould you lend a poor ina a quarter p
Tho stranger looked at the questioner.
He wore low-quhrtered shoes, with nc
stockings. His feet were very dirty, rs well
~ his face and hands, and the poor man
looked both hungry and thirsty.
What do you want with a quarterf
inquired the hotel guest.
ITO get my hair cut" he said; when it
Is SO long it gets dirty"
The stranger gave him the quarter, and
when last seen. the swamper was vending
his way to the nearest bar-room, where he,
no doubt, had his hair cut to his complete
satisfaction.-VieLsbprg Herald.

A Parrot in the Witness Box.

About six months ago a parrot belonging
10 the Sisters Of st. Bonifaee Convent dis
appeared. and was recently found in the
possession of Pierre Mallet. who lives on
Lapeyrouse street. A demand being made
upon him he refused to surrender the bird,
claiming that he purchased it, and will
not give it up unless paid an -ext-avagant
price. The Sisters have therefore inssi-
tuted a suit in tho Second JUSTICES Court
to recover their bird, which they value at
one hundred dollars. The parrot speaks
German fuentiy. and its own rs claim that
they viii have no difficulty in proving their
property. Upon the trial the bird is to be
brought into court to tell what he knows
about kidnapping. The bird is we'll known te
the pupils who attend school Attn Convent
ard it is said that a test of identification
will consist in the birds obedience to q Ger
tain sign known only to its rigAtful owner
The trial Of this case promises to be botl
interesting and amusing. = Fsw orssan

A Tremendous Figh.

Tho Journal au HARE recoants a terrible
encounter betweenthe lion-tamer Bidcl and
n number CT wild beasts. Didels custom
was to go into the cage Of these feroeious
animals. accompanied by a sheep. which
was by his presence kept safe from attack.
On q recent occasion he proee sdei TO the
lions cage, and his first act was to place the
sheep on the back'of a ~lioness. as he had
frequently lone before. No sooner hal he
accomplished this than a powerful lion
sprang upon the poor sheep. and buried his
teeth deep into a vital part Of its body.
There was a large number of spectators
present. and. ns may be imagined. the sud-
den act Of the lion created an instant aud
general panic. Bidel stepped forward. and
with the utmost GOODNESS struck the lion a
blow on the mouth with a heavy stick, which
made him crouch and yell with pain. and
throw his bleeding victim trembling ut the
feet Of the courageous performer. In IN
other moment. however. all the wild beasts
were dashed into fury by the sight Of the
blood. and no one in the assembly believed
that Bidel could escape. Preserving his
presence Of mind, however, he kept the
other animals at bay until he hal subduei
the lion and chased him back to his cage.
He then fought his way back through the
other animals, and amid the braves of the
assembly came out triumphantly, carrying
his wounded sheep with him. The poor
animal. which was a great ~fayori.e tho
lon-tamer. hns since died Of its woIa,e.

I sought for that set and worldly express

swept the floor. But her face was soft
ened her smile would melt those whom
she saluted in the throng. and we thought
her feet must be on the rocker and her
song.
There were the men Of the world, and
they came TO help rock the cradle. good

And so the cradle was rocked at the
Academy last night. Pure thoughts ac-
c~oinpanied the chorus from the hands, and
graceful movements compelled the swing

smoothed the pillows and made warm the
beds Of helpless infants. who would lie cod

Proceeding on his journey again. and
becoming angry and dizzy he seemed to
be entangled in an extricable labyrinth of
telegraph poles. which led him to make
a general speech.
"Gentlemen you are not doing the fair
thing. You do not give n man . fair
chance. YOU run from one side Of the
street to the other. right in my way"
Just then he met a friend, and taking
him by the hand. he said:
There is a process on going along this

down. Inc one of them knocked me down,
