"They are two little thieves, then, for

Lizzie looked very sorry, while her
mother found some black cloth and put
around the finger and thumb. Her hand

arose in the morning with them still shut
up.

she ate much, for she looked unhappy.

hands. Another monkey sat by with the
childs dress in its hands, as if waiting
till the bathing was over to dress it.
Klaas stood some time watching,
but he dared not go at once and take
the baby. The wood was full of
monkeys, and if he had made them angry
they would all have attacked him
together, and, if they had not killed
him, would not have suffered him to get
the child.
$50, after looking for long time,
and seeing how very kind they were to
the little thing, he went on to his work,
and then fastened home to tell his wife
what he had seen.
"After this he engaged two men, Jan
and Jacobus, to go with him early the
next morning to recover the child.
Accordingly they set off, each carry
ing heavy stick and a gun. When
they came to the place where Klaas had
seen his child they stood still and looked
on. This day the bathing had not
begun the monkey stood with the baby
in her arms, and two other monkeys
were seen coming up from n stream near
with tub full of water carried between
them. The towels, sponge-all were
put ready. The three men went on,
and as the monkeys saw them approach
ing they became very angry, and began
chattering in an angry manner.
Klaas spoke.
"That is my child, he said Il don't
want to beat you, or to shoot you, but 1
have gun, and if you do not give me the
baby must take it from you (The
Africans, in common with many other
uncivilized men, think animals can under
stand what they say)-and he lifted his
gun and pointed it to the monkey who
held his child.
cat first she pressed it tight in her
arms, and kissed it again and again then
looked at him angry and savage, as if she
would not give up her prize. But, at
last, when she saw the men were deter
mined, and did not mind her anger, she
saw she must yield. She kissed the little
thing repeatedly, stroked it's face with
her fingers, and then, gently laying it in
the grass, ran quickly up the hillside,
and sprung into the branches of a great
! tree.
"The men lost no time in taking the
baby and his tub, and getting out of the
wood, for monkeys when excited and
angry, are very dangerous.
" You can understand how delighted
poor Else was to receive her dear baby
again, and how she never left him alone
till he was grown old enough to take care
of himself"

Lizzie's Naughty Fingers.

Mamma" said Lizzie, before she
was undressed for bed, :" this finger and
that thumb have been very naughty to-
day."
"What have they done ?" asked her
mamma.
"They took some raisins from your
cupboard, said the little girl.
"Did nobody tell them to do it ""
asked mamma. Lizzie looked down.
CT did not hear anybody tell them"
she answered, softly.

mamma.
"The put them in my mouth" an
swered Lizzie.
"Were you not to blame for taking
them ?" asked mamma. "Your fingers
had no right to them, you know"
"They gave them to me-" said the
little girl.
"But the Bible says, IF thy right
hand offend thee, cut it off. Must we
cut any part of this little hand OFF, asked
mamma.

Special Dispatch to TIE Tribune.
New YoEK, March l.-Rumors were started
here to-day that AR. Tilden had taken the oath
Of office here and started for Washington, He
had not left the city at late hour tonight,
and no faith was placed in the story.
This afternoon Mr.. Tildcn was out three
hours or so in his carriage. Attempts
to interview him resulted, as they have inyaria-
bly, done, in failure. Col. Pelton, however,
talked considerably without saying much. He
said lie did not see how Alr. Tildcn could gain
anything from the resolution passed by the
House Saturday or take any action in regard to
it. The House had concurred in counting the
vote, and thus deprived its after-rcso'ution OF
force. 4 formal protest made by the House
before the count was finished would have put
different phase on the matter.
MR.. KING,
a member Of the National Democratic Commit
tee, and intimate in Mr.. Ti1den's family. de-
clares the rumors to be the worst kind of ab-
surdity. He says Mr.. Tiilen has no idea Of
leaving New York, and dined with a conf
pany OF friends tonight with the best OF
spirits! This Is authority enough to render it
certain that no raid Oh Washington is at present
By the horseman Of Gralnercy
Park Mr.. King further says Mr.. Til,lcn will
not contest the question of election at law. He
has had enough Of the contest.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
New ORLEANS, Marci, +.-Thc situation here
remains unchanged. A report sent from Wash
ington to au evening paper, published in an ex-
ira, that Tilden was to have been sworn in to-
day us President On the strength Of the resolu-
tion. adopted by the House yesterday, caused
great excitement and much war-talk. There
is talk of an attack On the State
House tonight, but it Will probably end in talk.
Gov. Packard Is strengthening his position every
day, and is confident Of ultimate success. Gen.
Nichols is dangerously i'll, and bis partisans are
discouraged. His bogus Legislature will proba-
bly, select person to contest Senator Kcllogg's
scat tomorrow. They would have elect
ed man long ago, but they have, up
to this time, held out promises to.
James F. Casey, brothcr-in-law of ex-President
Grant, that they would elect him If the Prcsi-
dent would recognize Nichols. This rcmarka-
bic bargain is believed to be the real cause Of
the Presidents recent course toward Gov Pack
ard. Casey was ambitious OF seat in the Sen
