kissing.

Alexander Smith seems to have
been electrified by a kiss; one made
him feel as if he were walking on
thrones" figure quite as remark
able as the old deacon's, who, upon
taking too much cider brandy,
likened his sensations to being on
top of Westinghouse and having
every shingle turned into a Jews
harp. But let us hear Alexander;
MY soul leaped up beneath thy timid
kiss;
What then to me were groans,
Or pain-or death2 Faith was a round
OF bliss,
| seemed to walk on thronesl"
But it has been reserved by an
editor to make the manner of kiss
ing business. His receipt is ap.
petizing, and would do honor to
the finest cookery book. He says {:
"Of course you must be taller than
the lady you kiss; take her right
hand in yours and draw her so
gently toward you that you do not
derange the economy of her tippet
or rufile-your left arm will find
its place without instruction; at the
same time the lady will throw her
head back, and you have nothing
to do but to lean Il little forward
and the thing is done. Don't make
no noise about it, as if you were
firing percussion caps; don'tpounce
down upon it like a hungry hawk
after an innocent doye-but silently
reyel in the sweet blissfulness of
your opportunity, without ever
once smacklng your lips, as you
would over bowl of turtle soup,
or the glorious appearance of a well
roasted duck"

talked of poetry, and read and re-
cited many things. He quoted
lines from Halleck, and then call
ing for the work, he read the poem
beginning "Green be the turf above
thee" and said, "No man living
can write such verses now" He
recited, with much feeling, passages
from Gray and from Milton's "Par-
adise Lost" He thought that
Milton had put an argument
IN the mouth of Adam, COM
planning of his punishment, which
he had not answered. "There's
no answering that" said he,
there's no answering that, except,
indeed" he added, we admit that
all punishment is corrective" He
liked Gray's letters better than his
poetry, and thought good prose
usually better than his poetry. He
spoke of life, and compared it to a
river hast:ning to its fall. At the
end it huuies us along, so that we

He seems 10 have been attracted to-

are SO g&rious that there is room at
his small breakfast table for the
greatest diversity of guests, from
the Duke of Wellington to the last
young poet, whose timid volume
has just been launched into the sea
of literature. Mr.. Rogers, who
seems fond of Americans, was es-

F." BABY'S" TEETH.
A EOvel Operation in Dentistry at

New York World i

A EOvel Operation in Dentistry at
the Central Park Museum.
New York WOrld.l
A feature Of the Central Park
mauagerie is the "Baby," half
grown lion abont eighteen months
old. For some months Baby has
been passing through that period
in which the first or milk-teeth are
replaced by the permanent teeth.
Nature, unassisted, did not attend
to this change properly, and there
fore Baby's health so began to fail
that his keepers became alarmed.
Cod-liyer oil had been administered
to tone up the system, but did not
restore health to the patient.
Finally, Baby refused to eat for
three days. A careful examination
were made by the director, eliciting
the fact that the gums were much
swollen in places, and that the new
teeth were breaking through under
the old ones. A dental operation
was determined upon.
One of the keepers, accompanied
by one of the park police, catered
the cage. The keeper placed him
self astride the subject and held
his forepaws, while the assistant,
a la David of old, opened the lion s
jaws, and thrusting a stick in the
back part Of his NAV, gently, but
firmly, insisted that it should be
allowed to remain there. One of
the bars in front were slipped up,
making a gap through which Baby's
head was put. The director then,
with a common pair Of lorceps, in Il
trice relieved master lion Of canine
and a molar tooth upon the upper
jaw and a canine tooth upon the
lower jaw. How the young patient
would have borne up had an ordeal
Of drilling, filling or fling been
necessary, or some Of the perma-
nent teeth needed drawing, of
course can only be a matter of
speculation, but as it was he behaved
very well, indeed, only evinoing the
state Of his feelings by an occasional
growl, and on the following day
celebrated his convalescence by
sumptuous repast.
Among the spectators present
were many ladies, whose sympathics
were highly wrought upon by the
operation, some of them evidently
believing that the teeth were ex-
tracted in order to prevent the ami
NAL from biting, and one did not
hesitate to say it was manifest
outrage which Mr. Bergh should be
made cognizant of. The only other
case that has occurred in the Cen.
tral Park Museum necessitating the
pulling of animals teeth was that
of the aged elephant Empress, about
eight years OF age. Empress had
both teeth on the lower Jaw badly
decayed. The gums were swollen,
she could not eat, and, Judging
from her believing, lay awake
nights in her agony. Her dentistry
was thus performed; Her keeper
threw her trunk up over her head
and held her mouth open while a
second party, with a blacksmith's
pincers, broke off the decayed parts
and extracted them. 1t required a
three minutes steady pull to remove
the broken pieces, which had roots
at least two and three-fourths inches
long She was somewhat vocifer
ous during the operation, but did
not behave badly, A similar opera
tion was lately performed upon the
baby hipopotamuS at the aquarium. |

Elector Hurley Ex-Governor Moses and others were
interviewed to-day, agree saying that the WITH
drawal OF the troops will mako Wade Hampton the
undisputed Governor of South Carolina. and that
there will be consequent disturbance for the rea
son that their party w good faitn and peaceab!y,
accept the situation.

Mayor Cunningham declared tina, far as the repub-
ican party In South Carolina concerned he con-
sdered that the establishment OF the Hampton govern
IT. had already become broken down from internal
excesses and that tho placing OF all tho
election machinery la the hands OF tho democrats
would completely demoralize tho republicans. and IL
would be an utter mpossbility for them TO carry
election IN the future. His advice 10 all his constitu
ents was TO accept the situation, fall into line and 90
to work 10 build up the prosperity OF tho State.
GOOD FOR THE CoLoRED PEOPLE.
Hurley, one of the Hayes electors, declares that the
election OF hampton is tho best thing possible Tor the
coorcd people. AS tho conservatives can and viii do
more Tor them than any other political party has
done.
Butte is very bitter saying that tho President sold

the troops IN South Carolina only branch Of the
bargain.

was held to-day, at which the Hayes administration
was roundly denounced Ex-Governor Moses was tho
ruling spirit. II was decided that a convention OF
republicans be held, with tho purpose OF making
tho best terms they can with the conservatives.
Ihey say that the national republican party has
shown them that IL cares nothing for them and Will
not protect them, and they propose now to satisfy
that party that they docount for something and that
the cason republicans will still BIO power the land.
