A Phenomenal Animal

The Jefferson, Ark, Republican re-
ports the shooting in Little River
county, in that state, recently, of q
phenomenal animal, having the body
of well-formed red deer, with a head
that resembled balloons, and suit of
long, brown shaggy beard. 1t was
killed by DR.. Collins, who says that
when he was aiming at it, its large eyes
seemed to melt with pity and compass
sion, as though it was aware of its
dreadful danger. He had no sooner
fired than the creature leaped high in
the air and uttered a most heart rend-
ing scream. The Doctor says it must
be species of the Mexican centaur, as
described in legend as existing IN GER
tain portions of Mexico.

THE CLARK THREAD COMPANY RELIEF
SOCIETY.
One of the best and most beneficial or
CARNATIONS which constitute a part of the
system and care of the Clark Thread Com
pany for their employees. is the Relief So
clety. 1t was organized January 22d. 1870
for the purpose of providing fund for the
relief of those who might, by accident or
sickness, be incapScitated from sustaining
themselves. All the employees of the com.
pany must be members of the society, and
each receives assistance when needed, from
the fund according to the amount paid in.
which must be at least one cent per week.
but no one is permitted to pay in an amount
which would draw, in case of sickness,
more than half Their: average weekly wages.
Every cent paid in draws seventy-five cents
per week. The Clark Thread Company con-
tributes five dollars per week to the
fund without cessation, but all others
cease their contributions when the
unexpended balance in the treasury
reaches fifteen hundred dollars When the
fund is reduced to seven hundred dollars,
payments are renewed The payments into
the treasury average about nine months in
the year. We hope that this humane and
systematic organization may find many
lmitators among the manufactures of New
ark, and throughout the country, who..read
this article. The company pays interest at
seven per cent on the money in the treas
ury, besides their five dollars per week into
the fund Since its organization one thous-
and three hundred and ninety seven men,
bers have been relieved, and twenty-four
deaths have occurred in the society The
reason that the receipts for 1874 and 1876
are less than usual is because the fund had
reached the maximum of 81, 500, and
payments were stopped. The following
interesting table shows the amount received
and paid out from 1870 to 1876 inclusive:

HOW CLARKs 80. N T." SPOOL COTTON oRIeI-
MATED.
Until within few years, the great diff
Guilty to be overcome in the introduction of
sewing machines, was the objections made
by manufacturers and operators to the then
popular threads. These complaints were so
loud and well founded that the sale of sew
ing machines was greatly impeded on ac-
count of the impossibility of obtaining a
thread adapted to their use Mr.. George A.
Clark, approaching the difficulty introduced
into the American market the now famous
Clark's " o. N. T." Spool Cotton, all num-
bers being six cord, from to 100, which
met the demand, did away with all COM
plants, and long since established its rep
utation as the best thread in use for sewing
machines or hand sewing. To Mr.. George
A. Clark belongs the credit of being the
first to supply those fine qualities of Six
Cord Spool Cotton with which his name is
associated. The thread is used and recon-
mended by agents of the Singer, Wheeler
& Wilson, Grover q Baker, Domestic,
Howe, Florence, Weed, Wilson, Blees, REM
ington, Secor, Home, Lathrop and other
sewing machine companies. The superior
quality of Clark's so. N. T." Spool Cotton
soon secured for it an immense sale, but
with the great popularity of the goods came
also counterfeits which made it necessary
for the manufacturers to adopt trade
mark for their own and the public's protec-
ton, and now upon every genuine spool of
their thread is the following:

On q Spanish Railroad.

4
In the express trains one meets with
dark haired, dark-vissaged gentlemen,
VINO draw their hats down over their
eyes and puff cigarette smoke continu-
ally through their nostrils. who con.
verse little, and who only unbend from
their naughty demeanor when some
beautiful girl, with her lace mantilIa
draping her fine neck and shoulders.
enters the carriage. But in the slow
trains one gets even more knowledge
of the Spanish populace than he is de-
sirous of acquiring. The Spaniard
when he travels appears to fancy that
he has an inalienable right to take
with him in the same car in which he
rides all his household goods and farm
produce. A stout farmer, clad in a
blouse, a pair of white corduroys,
leathern sandals, and broad hat with
little tassels around its edges, chambers
into compartm ent already over
crowded. He hands his nearest neigh
Dor cage of chickens, deposits small
bag of flour in young girls lap, pulls his
growing dog in after him, sets basket
of eggs on an old woman's equity toes,
scrambles into fraction of seat,
smiles, makes hundred apologies, and
lights cigarette. Two or three mule
teers, clad in striped cleaks, perfume
the Car with garlic. A soldier, with
his gun slung over his back, pokes tie
muzzle of the dangerous weapon into
his neighbours eye occasionally.
Every one interlards his or
her conversation with intersections.
and often with oaths shocking to ears
polite. If the journey is long, some
clever fellow pulls guitar out of
bag, thrums its strings, huns ballad
in which the others join, laughing and
putting smoke between the refrains,
and now and then keeping time by
clapping their hands and stamping
with their feet. At railway station,
at Miranda or Burgos, when the train
stops to allow the passengers to refresh
themselves, no one hurries at all.
Suppose twenty minutes to be the time
allowed; every one seats himself SOL
EMMY at the long table in the dining
room, and slowly eats and moderately
drinks, smoking between the courses.
AS the twenty minutes period ap-
proaches its end, the guard rings bell
loudly and calls the senores to the
train. A few persons look around
languidly, as if astonished at an I'M
usual noise, but they do not bestir
themselves. On the contrary, they
settle into their chairs and address
themselves to the desert. When the
train is five minutes behind time, the
guard rings again, with no better sue
cess. After he has rung third time,
and stalking majestically up and down
the platform of the station, has begun
to feign closing the doors of the car
riages, the travellers rise slowly, wrap
their cloaks around them with great
care, arranging each fold as if they
were about to be presented to the king,
and lighting fresh cigarettes, stroll to
the train. They stand talking at the
doors until the guard pushes them into
the compartments, when they glare out
at him as if he was guilty of great
discourtesy. -IAppinc0HS.

This Reminds We Of n Story,

The Republican situation in re-
gard to the New York Custom
house appointments reminds us
strongly, as the late Mr.. Lincoln
would have said, of ga little story"
A trading schooner was ploughing
along through the sound, when the
mate, and part proprietor, thinking
that the craft was getting seriously
close to some shoals, ran aft and
advised the captain, and part pro-
prietor, to put the helm hard up.
"Mr. Mate" said the captain with
much dignity, "you go forward and
attend to your part of the schoon-
er, and Ill attend to mine" The
mate went forward and in about a
minute there was a splash and a
running out of cable, and the mate
cried cheerily, "Cap'n Slocum, I've
anchored my end of the schooner. +"
Mr.. Hayes appears tdhave anchor
ed his end of the schooner.-IN. Y.
