PARENTAL TREACHERY.

A smart young boy OF nine, says
the Chicago Tribune, attends school
at Evansville. Sometimes, especially.
when the circus is in that latitude, or
the boys get up dog fight, he does
not attend school, though he pretends
that he does. Last week he gave
himself holiday to attend profession
ally at an exhibition Of gymnastics,
10 which the admission was one cent,
and, being desirous Of trying a new
policy, went TO his father and con-
fessed his fault, making he prelim-
mary condition that neither OF his
parents should lick him. His father
Is q man Of his word and not only
reiralned from chastising the culprit,
but gave him his "scuse" to disarm
his teachers wrath. The unsuspeto-
ing schoolboy with his shining morn
ing face and satchel crept next morn
Ing, like snail. unwillingly toschool,
presented his "scuse," and was so
condignly licked that he thinks that
for the rest OF his life he must either
give up coasting or lie fiat on his
stomach. He doesn't know that his
"scuse" read as follows Mis- Haze

New YoRK. Aug. /, George +. Young
" Son, OF Boston, lately purchased be-
tween five and six hundred spars, in
u4nilton, Ont.. and in order to save the
large expense incident 10 shipping them
by rail TO Boston, determined to try TO
float them in rat. by way oil New York
and Long Island Sound. A contract was
made with Christopher Schwinger, OF
Tonawanda, n. Y. by which 40 engag-
Ell himself to superintend the transfer.
The spars left Hamilton Ont.. on the
18th of June. When the spsrs have ar
rived at Troy, they will be made into
raft 100 leet wide and 800 or 400 feet
long, which will be taken TO New York
by tugs. Once here, the raft will be
taken apart and rebuilt with the greatest
care, iron chains replacing the withes'
1t will then be taken through the East
River into The Sound, and round to BDs-
ton. The open ocean of Cape Cod is
not feared so much as the heavy swell al
Point Judith. 1t is expected that 80 900
will be saved by this mode of shipment.
if the raft should arrive safely at Boston.
