Concerning a Wicked Parrot.

A young man cut on North Hill, says
the Burlington Hawkeye, bought parrot
some months ago, and in anticipation OF
the fact that he was going to be married
and 20 to the Centennial, he secretly
taught the parrot to say, "Welcome,
thrice welcome home," every time any
body opened The front door, thinking
what delightful surprise it would be to
his young wife 10 be thus cheerully well
coined nome on their return. But while
they were on their tour, the nervous
woman VINO was lett in charge of the
house taught the parrot a new remark,
as a protection against burglars, and
when the young people came home on
the night train and let themselves in at
the hail door with a latch key, they were
shocked and appalled, by terrific shout
of "thievesl thieves! policel police!
Here Bull, here Bull! Scatter, ye son OF
a thief, or III! tear your heart outP'
Next Gay the parrot died and the young
wife says she wouldn't stay alone five
minutes in that house, not for divorce

Greek Examination.

We havo received from Prof. W.
II. Whitsitt, of Grccnvillc, q circu-
lar announcing competitive cx
animation on the Greek language,
to be held at the above named city
on tho 26th of November next. 1t
will DO remembered that Prof.
Whitsitt projected similar OK
animation last year, which was in
all respects o gratifying success.
Encouraged by the good results Of
of that beginning, he has decided
to add new features and offer adj
'ditional inducements, that students
in largo numbers may be lei to tai;o
part in tho November contest. Tn
connection with gentlemen Of
Grccnvillc who havo generously
lent their aid, he now offers three
prizcs-ono Of twenty-five, one of
fifteen, and third of ten dollars
to tho contestants who ishall stand
respectively first, second and third
in tho examination. The contest
is open to all persons in South
Carolina, undor twcnty-onc years
of ago upon the day set for Tic
.cxaninntion. From Irof.
Whitsitts circular wo extract the
following, showing tho scope of
tho examination:
"Thc examination will embrace
the whole Of Xenophon's Cyropcdin,
Owens edition is rcrommcnlcN
and the whole Of Hadley'a Greek
Grammar, except the appendix,
,(pago 3lS) and the matter below
the Line botwcon page and pngc
1870. Tho student should consult
Anthon's Classical Dictionary, or
somo other work of thnt kind, for
information with regard to Ken
ophon, Cyrus and other prominent
persons mentioned in the
Cyropndia.
I'm tho Grammar, the student
will be expected to show entire
familiarity with tho matter between
81 and $50, and to point out the
application OF the facts and p,inri
pies there taught in dcclcnsion nnl
conj jugation, and in roading. He
will also be closely examined on the
matter between SS1 and $l13, unl
tho accents Mill be roqlirol in all
cases. Complete and accurate
knowledge of tho matter between
.$l14 and $3.50 Except that portion
of it which is below tho hne) will
hc found Indispensable. The Stu
dent will not only bo examined on
the Syntax, but efforts will also
be made both in the written and
oral examination to test his ability
to apply it's principles in reading.
"Ability to read Grccl; aloud with
fluency and T. proper regard tt,
accent and expression, will be Of
service to tho student"
Wo trust that Prof Whitsitt will
mect with the encouragement he
deserves IN his lauuablc effort to
produce, on tho palt Of the youth
OF onr state, n taste for the GrCel;
language and literature OF the
advantages resulting from their
proper study. we have not space to
