description Of Chinamans pelican: This
pelican lives close by the shore, "a little dis

takes in washing for living, the pelican hunts
clans at low tide for the necessaries of Life
Not many days ago the Chinaman started out
to deliver some washing, and left the pelican
in charge. a hoodlum perched on pile-top,
enjoying cigarette, marked the exodus of the
Celestial and then he flung away the butt and
gently descended upon that shanty. He was
met at the doorway by the pelican. The hood.
lum said, soothingly, QUIT, poor fellow; doxn,
Ponto"; but the pelican grabbed him by the
trousers leg taking in little flesh in its grip,
and the young hoodlum left the premises in a
hurry On another occasion the Chinaman,
when chopping wood in his backyard, over.
come by the heat of the day, fell asleep. Mean
while Il customer called for his washing. The
pelican vas on guard, and that intelligent bird
skeeted around the rear OF the shanty, fastened
on to his masters tunic, and awoke him to the
consciousness that his presence was needed on
the other side of the house. The birds wings
are not clipped and he appears perfectly salts
fed with his new mode Of life The Chinaman
believes that his aunt's spritha gone into the
pelican, and treats that bird accordingly with
the utmost respect"

A shad0wy calyacadc.
When Devcns vain reflections gricvc
And dismal thoughts instil
OF what fool he was to leave
The shades of Bunker Hill.
When Sherman from his cash book turns
To curb the mounting blaze
OF fierce desire that in him burns
To put head on Hayes.
When Schurz DER his piano gasps
To mourniul strains and low,
The while each leg the other clasps
In ccstacy of woe.
When dazed McCrary, last not least,
Appalled, and sore distrest,
No cheering sign sees in the East
Nor comfort in the West.
These are the days of Wrongs defeat,
The Ballots tempest shock,
When Justice takes the judgment seat,
And Fraud stands in the dock.
