OF a bird and the fur of IN animal. and
the heart of both. 1T is in the strictcst
sense an aquatic fowl. 1t can barely walk
upon the land, and one species at least
cannot take flight from the shore. But in
the water its feet are more than feet. and
its wings more than wings. it plungcs
into this denser air and tics with incredi-

| loon Who could not tell the loon u half
Il mile OF more away, though he had never
seen one before ? The river was like glass,
and every movement of the bird rs it
sported about broke the surface into rip
pies, that revealed it far and wide. Pres
emily Il boat shot out from shore and went
! ripping up the sun ice towards the loon.
The creature ut once seemed to divine the
intentions of the boatman, and sidled off
obliqucly. keeping u sharp lookout as if
| to make sure 1t was pursued. y steamer
came down and passed between them,
and when the way was again clear the
loon was still swimming on the surface,
Presently it disappeared under the water,
and the boatman pulled sharp and hard.
In Il few moments the bird reappeared
some rods farther on. rs if to make an
observations Seeing it was being pur-
sued, and no mistake, it dove quickly,
and when it came up again had gone
many times as Tar rs the boat had in the
same space of time. Then it dove again,
and distanced its pursuer so easily that he
gave over the chase and rested upon his
cars. But the bird made u final plunge,
and when it came up was over one mile
away Its course must haye been, and
doubtless was, an actual flight under WA
ter, and half IS fast AS the crow flies in
the air.
The loon would have delighted the old
poets Its wild, demoniac laughter awak-
ening the echoes On the solitary lakes,
and its ferity or hardness was kindred to
those robust spirits. John Burroughs, in

He Wouldn't Tell n Lie

One of the police captains yesterday

in u great hurry, blew his nose with 4
pistol-like report, and loudly inquired if
.here was a city ordinance which allowed
Il oneeyed man to hit him on the chin and
extract $50 from his pocket. The captain
didn't think there was, and the stranger
WAS anxious Tor all the police to turn out
and search all the streets and arrest all
the one-eyed men in New York. When
he found that nothing could be done for
him, owing to his ignorance Of localities
he turned pale and grew very thirsty.
That money" he gasped, was to buy
an alpaca dress, y pair Of shoes. some fac
tory CLOTH a feather tick. ten yards of
shectng and eight cents worth of hooks
and eyes. 1t was money the old woman
had got by selling eggs and butter, and

Bout 'leven cents" was the grim re-
ply.
"Well, don't see how can help you,

The man walked the floor for several

n BALLOON ATTACKED BY A BULL. n
balloon ascension which was made from
the Alexandria Palace, London. ON the
sd ut.. rs one Of the features OF the Po-
lice Fcte, WAS attended by IL ludicrous in
cdent The aeronaut was Mr.. j. Morton,
and he was accompanied by Mr. Silvanus
Tanner The balloon made Il very sue
cesstul ascent, and soon attained an alti-
tude of eight thousand feet, ut which
height it passed over the East End of Lon
don into Kent, crossing the Thames no
less than three times.
On arriving near Ethan, Mr.. Morton
and his companion descended in Il large
meadow, and were just in the act of let
ting off the gas when tremendous bel
lowing was heard On looking in the di-
rection from whence the sound proceeded
a large bul was seen rushing madly
toward them. Mr.. Tanner approaching
the danger of the situation. seized the
two remaining bags Of ballast and threw
them out of the car The balloon at once
arose, but only just in time TO escape the
horns OF the inturiated beast, who, upon
seeing the balloon out of his reach, turned
his attention to the bags of sand, which
he soon scattered in all directions In his
attack upon the sand-bags his horns came
in contact with the grapnel-ropc, and the
shock. releasing the grapnel, enabled the
balloon to get free, and at the same time
threw Mr. Morton, who was attending to
the grapnelrope, out of the Car. Fortu-
nately he managed to clutch the netting,
and, with the assistance Of Mr. Tanner,
succeeded in regaining the car before they
had ascended many hundred feet. The
royageurs, not at all sorry to get away
from the vicinity of Taurus, sailed away
about mile and finally landed in safety
The balloon was new and brightly col
ored, and this circumstance perhaps led
the bull to regard it with antipathy.

And hear it telling to the orchard tree,
And to the faint and flower torsaken bees,
Tales of fair meadows, green with constant streams
And mountains rising blue and cool behind,
Where in moist dells the purple orchis CLEANS,
And starred with white the virgins bower twined
SO the DER wearied pilgrim, us he fares
Along life's summer waste, at times is famed,
