A HAPPY FAMILY.

The British Lion wags his tail,
But somehow fears the shock;
The German Eagle 1utters when
He hears the Gallo Cock;
The austrian Buzzard droops his wings
And Italy cries for peace.
Remania whines, %, ct me alone"
And Servia feels like Greece.
A happy family are they,
Though acting rather shirley,
But each afraid to stop the Bear
From gobbling up the Turkey.

Gen. Belknap.

WHILE conversing with a friend, the
other day, ex-Secretary Belknap's long
and flowing beard was seen approach
ing, propelled by the power behind, or
rather beneath, it. He saluted my friend,
who introduced me, and as l took the
two fingers of the right hand which the
eX-Secretary presented to me between
the thumb and under finger of my good
right flippers, and while we both in
dulged in genteel, heightened shake"
[ cast a penetrating glance into the hand
some features before me, and while
rapidly running my eyes down over the
spotless shirt front, over the vest buttons,
and taking in a pair of pants cut in the
latest style, l mentally concluded that in
the struggle between care and Belknap
the latter had secured the under hold
and had the best of the wrestle. He has
freed himself from the cares of official
life; the incubus of Office troubles him
but little-it is another sort of ink he has
to deal with now. Yes, Belknap has
joined the irrepressible army of guer-
rillas known as commercial travellers,
and is introducing and expatiating on
the merits of patent indelible ink for
the use of postmasters in canoeing
stamps, and it won't be long before the
General is discovered along with the rest
of the boys sitting around the stove in
the Office of some country hotel swapping
lies in regard to sales and bullying the
landlord in the most approved fashion

A Thoughtful Husband.

If HE had confined himself to his le-
gitimate quill-driving duties there would
have been no occasion fer him to have
been strutting around with his left hand
in a sling, patch on his nose and an abb
surd old gum-shoe on one foot. He was,
however, only another victim of that
egotistical opinion of all men, that they
can do anything better than woman
He went home the other day and found
his wife putting up peaches in those old
fashioned tin cans that close with seal
ing-wax. She had an apron on, and two
or three little blotches of sealing-wax
ornamented the floor, while the cat under
the table was licking a piece the size of a
postage stamp with assidulty.
See here, Maria" he said, "youll
cripple yourself with that hot wax di-
rectly;" but as she made no answer he
continued oracularly: "Women never
have any mechanical genius, anyway. If
there is way of doing anything wrong
they are sure to try it,"
Do you think you can do any better?'
she observed, with some acidity.
Why, of course l can"
Well, here, just distinguish yourself,
then"
So he sat down. She handed him a
fresh can just out of the hot water. He
took it in his hand and dropped it as
though it had been a streak of lightning,
while he stuck his finger in his mouth and
looked sudden death at her because he
could not swear She gave him a towel
to hold the next one WITH and he took it
on his knee, lighting the sealing-wax
stick, and commenced prodding around
the top, but the bottom burned his knee
and he jerked, bringing the burning wax
across the back of his left hand. Then
ne jumped up and howled, dropped the
can, which emptied a spoonful of burn
ing preserves into his slipper. This made
him frantic, and he went dancing about
the kitchen like an inebriated dervish,
waving the burning wax until a drop
took him on the nose. In his anger he
kicked the offending can through the
window, scattering its contents over the
dog, who rushed into the street bowling
and raising an alarm of mad dog, which
occupied the attention of all the people
within three squares. Then he sub
mitted to be laid on the sofa, and plas-
tered with flour and sweet-oil until he
looked like badly prepared scarecrow.
He is willing to make an affidavit the size
of barn. door that he will let the women
be just as awkward as they choose

An Eyentful Life.

Mr.. JOHN ADAMS, of this city, who re-
Gently celebrated his golden wedding,
was born in Boston in 1896, and gradu-
ated at the Mayhem School. He went to
sea with his father, Capt. Elijah Adams,
in 1911, and in his fourth voyage to Cadiz,
Spain, was captured by the British frlgate
Guerrero, May 10, 1912. He was re-
taken by the American frigate Constitu-
ton, and arrived home Sept. 4, of the
same year. He Immediately after went
as seaman on the letter-of -marque brig
Rambler, of ten guns. After running
through the British squadron he made a
safe voyage to Bordeaux, France, and
subsequently took an active part IN the
capture of British schooner. While
attempting to enter a French port with
the prize he was captured by an English
privateer aud carried to England. He
was placed in prison in Plymouth, and
then transferred to Mill Prison, and from
thence removed to the prisonship La
Brave, a French ship of eighty guns
He was subsequently removed to Dart
moor, where he witnessed the terrible
massacre of the American sailors. He
was sent home with $50 other prisoners,
and after arriving at New London, Conn,
travelled by stage to Boston. He after
ward engaged in the merchant service,
and made his first voyage as Captain in

Generous Cameron.

CoMMANDER CAMERON, of the British
navy, promoted from lieutenancy for
his successful journey across Africa, is
generous-minded man. He showed
pretty clearly that the Lualaba must be
the Upper Congo. He could not prove
the fact, however, as he was driven back
BY the hostile natives at the point where
Stanlcy's hardest labors began. He
turned southwark, therefore, and reached
the coast at point lower down than
Stanley. This was not all. Not only
has Cameron seen the solution of the
mystery of the Congo snatched from him
by the American, but the latter disputed
the correctness of Cameron's statement
that Lake Tanganyika has an outlet. Yet
he seems to have taken no offense and to
have felt no jealousy. He has dispatched
70 the publishers of the London Tele-
graph the following message:
Please congratulate Stanley most warmly
for me on his unprecedented success, and as
sure him of my hearty wishes

The Author Of "Home, Sweet Home. f."

TUN1s is interesting to the American
visitor from its association with the
memory of John Howard Payne, the
author of Home, Sweet Home" Here
he spent the last years of his life, and
here he died and was buried. He who
sang so sweetly of home was a wan
derer. An interesting story about him is
related by MIR. Heap, our representative
at Tunis:
"Once when l was in London" said
Payne, &C ran out of money, and was at
last driven into the streets from inability
to pay for my lodging. 1t was dismal,
rainy night when wandered out with
not penny in my pocket, and not know
ing where to go. A bright light in a
window attracted me. The curtains
were up, and could see a parlor filed
with a happy company. Several gentle
men were standing near q piano, where a
young lady was seated, and singing, with
an exquisite voice, my song, Home
Sweet Home stood there for some
minutes and listened and then went slow
ly on, feeling sadder than ever before in
my whole life"
"Why didn't you," said Mr.. Heap,
ring the bell, and tell them you were
the author of that song?"
Tell them that, indeedr' Payne re-
piled, "they would have ordered me
away, and possibly called policeman to
arrest me as an impostor."

A Guide to Amsterdam was published
in Holland, in English, some years ago,
protesting to be written, edited or trans
lated by an Englishman. Its style may
be judged from the following specimen,
relating to the manners and customs of
many of the inhabitants on Sundays and
holidays: "They go to walk outside the
town gates; after this walk they hasten
to free public play gardens, where wine,
thea, ETC., is sold. Neither the mobility
remains idle at these entertainments
Every one invites his damsel, and Joy
ously they enter play gardens of a little
less brilliancy than the former. There,
at the crying sound of an instrument that
rents the ear, accompanied by the de.
lightful handle-organs and the rustic tri-
angle, their devoirs are paid to the Terp-
sichore. Everywhere a similitude OF
talents; the dancing outdoes not the
music"
A Dutch volume containing many
views in the Netherlands, with descrip
lions in three or four languages, claims
credit for "the exactness as have OBJ

Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are left

Potatoes in the cellar grow, and sprouts
are not removed until the potatoes be-
come worthless.
Brooms are never hung up and are

Nice-handled knives are thrown into
hot water.
The flour is sifted in a wasteful man

Clothes are left on the line to whip to

Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to

Dried fruits are not taken care of in
season and become wormy.
Rags, string and paper are thrown into
