On the front porch.ofithe residence of
Mr.. /. J. Allen, of Avondale, says the
Cincinnati Commercial, hangs a flower
basket. The only thing which distin-
,guishes this particular hanging flower
basket over that OF, everybody else's bas-
ket is that pair of little brown birds
have chosen this as their home, and have
built their nest therein, When it was
discovered that the birds were preparing
to build, the members of Mr.. A's family
thought to help matters and provided
an abundant supply of scarlet zephyrs
and other supposed suitable articles.
But the birds persistently rejected all
offers of this kind and made their nest
to suit themselves of dry grass, twigs
horse-hair, etc. After two days labor
the nest was completed. On the third
day little blue egg was laid, and one
each succeeding day, till four filed the
nest, when the mother bird commenced
to sit, and at this writing still occupies
the nest. The birds make themselves
quite at home, allow the plants in the
basketto be watered daily, and evidently
desire to be treated not as guests, but as
| members of the family who have come
to stay. DO - ? S0se -

How the King was Awakened.

$ Weymouth was long King George III's
favorite resort, for rePose and fresh air.
He was accustomed to stroll, unattended,
about the streets and terraces Of the lit
tie watering place, and he iberally pat
ronized its theater-indeed, the good
natured monarch patronized plays and
players wherever he found them.
~, In the course of one of his afternoon
walks he had been overtaken by shower
of rain, when, che door of tie theater
standing open, he entered ! and, finding
no one in attendance, he, quietly, made
his way to the royal box, and Seated
himself in his accustomed chair.pfa ~
The performances of the, evening, it
may be stated, were anno1nced to be
for the benefit of Mr. Elliston, and his
majesty had promised to attend, and
support, by his presence, the Efforts of
the actor he greatly admired. He was
a trife fatigued, perhaps, and the dim
light of the empty theater, and the easy
chair, induced: drowsiness. In few
moments the king was fast asleep.
I Meantime, Lord Townshend sought
his royal master in various directions,
but in vain. He had dinedj at three
O'Clock, and quilted the palace shortly
after dinner; he had not been seen
since, and the queen and the lprincesses
were somewhat uneasy about him, for it
was now five O'clock. His .lordship even
made inquiry Of Elliston, who iwas
quietly proceeding to the theater to
make arrangements for the perform
ances of the night; but Elliston could
give no informatiohAhe had seen moth
ing OF the king. sF7 7 i5li-i ee5 aiI5
Arrived at the theater, however, the
lactor was not long before he discovered
the figure of a man asleep in the king
chair. He had, indeed, entered the box
to assure himself that all was prepared
for the occupation of his royal patron.
For moment he did not recognize the
sleeper, and he was about to disturb his
slumbers abruptly enough. Fortunately,
he discovered in time that he stood in
the presence of the king. e4s 15aa3 u
What was he to do? He dared net
wake. his majesty by touching him he
feared even to speak to him. 1t was
clear, however, that something must be
done; it was nearly time for lighting

queen and princesses had to be consid-
cred. Elliston hit upon this expedient.
He took a, violin from the orchestra, and
placing himself Immediately under the
royal box, he struck up "God Save the
Kingp aa iia j.
The king stirred, and presently, spring
ing up, exclaimed, "Whatl whatt o,
yes. / see, Elliston. Hal hal rain
came on-took "a fseat--took a nap.
What's o'clockf''
Nearly six, your majesty f' sal !,

"Send to her majesty-say, I'm, here.
Stay, stay, this wig won't do, eh-eh9
Don't keep the people waiting. Light
up-ight up. Let 'em Inlet 'em in.
Ha! ha! fast asleep. Play well to-
night, Elliston- great favorite with the
queen. Let 'em Inlet 'em in."
AT the close of the performance Ellis
ton attended the royal visitors to their
carriage, when the king, still occupied
with his adventure Of the afternoon,
nodded and smiled, as he whispered to
the actor, Fast asleep, eh, Elliston? {?

I OF the more dignifed discussions of
the question of everlasting pifnishme ent,
it is proper to saya word. That there is
la considerable number 7ofl orthodox
ministers who have given up, or are giy-
ing up their, belief in this dogma, there
is no question. The loosening hold up
on it has been evident fol. years. Eudj
less torment has been talked very
littleabout in American and English pull
pits for the last decade, and is rarely, lex-
cept in general way, presented as a
motive to religious life. The Indian
Orchard minister has a multitude of
sympathizers among his professional
brethren, and the number is growing
larger rather than smaller. The change
comes partly of a change Of yiewsef the
character Of God, partly Of a. change of
ideas concerning the office o6spunish-
ment, and partly of new and. betteriin-
terpretations Of Scripture, Such men as
Canon ,Farrar and Rev. DR., Wilton
eminent alike as orthodox Christians
and scholars shave had a great deal of
influence on the professional mind of the
day, in determining that phase of the
question which scholarship alone can
determine, viz, that which depends
upon the exact Interpretation ofall that
the sacred writings have to, say upon it.
DIR. Whiton's little book has made, and
is making, a profound Impression;
and SO important is it deemed by some
of those who have read it, that money
has freely been put into his hands for
its distribution. b3sas.H at H.e 81
If there is to be a future ife,-and-
this is the, faith of Qhristendom and
heathendom,-it goes without saying
that there is to be retribution in it;
but, as we have read DR.. Whiton's book,
there is ne declaration in Scripture that
the punishment is to be endless, and
no declaration thatiit is not to be. 1 The
book is quite worthy of any mans read
ing, and we commend it particularlyIto
those. whose votes have been canvassed
by reporters. If they have not already
perused it, they will learn that they
voted before they had all the light there
was to be had upon the subject. +"

OUR LAST BuGABoo.

Timid people in Chicago are afforded
an unpleasant sensation in the dramatic
story that large body of armed Com
muhists are drilling in obscure places in
the city, preparatory to an outbreak
against the public. To this. narrative
some of the daily papers give credence
and intensity apprehension by the. inti-
nation thai the force thus preparing for
rapine and slaughter amounts to between
five and eight thousand men, under the
command of determined leaders, and
they deduce from these premises the con-
clusion that the city authorities must
have an augmented police force armed
with the best of weapons. and thus. be
prepared for a quick and, if necessary,
bloody suppression of any and all at
tempts at riot. 'l''
To gentlemen and ladies already tor
tured by the convulsive ehills of terror
arising from this fear of communism we
would suggest, the reading of Falstaf's s
tale of his rogues in buckram whom he
peppered SO Justify. From a scrawny
company of men and boys drilling with
venerable muskets, the multiplying eyes
of reporters and the fear ar-enlarged pupils
of peace-inclined editors have built up
an admirably equipped and drilled army
of red-capped laborers who are to make
tie city field of carnage and give its
people to the sword. The picture is a
somber one, but wholly ideal, so far as
the facts are given; and those facts do
not Justify the alarm that has caused
men to subscribe within a few days over
81, 900 for the purpose of preparing
against any outbreak. 1t is criminally
wrong to convulse the whole city with
these rumors. 1t Injuries its good name
abroad, while, at the same time, it i'm
pairs the confidence of the citizens in
the authorities.
There can be no question as to the
dangerous ascendencys of communism in
this country and in this city. Its senti-
ments percolate the lower classes of all
communities; it is becoming dangerous
because, of its freedom; but it is the
rankest 'cowardice in our authorities to
permit such imputations on their wisdom
and courage, as abAve referred to, to go
abroad, and it is deplorable that
newspapers should add to public dis
quietude these wild rumors that Chicago
is really in the hands of its socialists
and rests upon volcano of an archy. 1t
is all discreditable to our good judg-
ment and our courage, and few days
will show the evil results of permitting
such baseless rumors to spread through
the country 1t is truth to say that Chi.
cago is in no more danger frsm mobs
than any other city; and that if there
is any attempt to repeat the riots of last
July there will be no repetition of the
child's play which characterized the
treatment of the mob at that time. That
fact it will be well for mobocrats to beal

The Growth of Interest in Dogs.
[From Our Pets and Protectors" by VIM M Tiles
ton, in Nav Scribnerl

IFrom Our Pets and Protectors" by VIM, M, Tiles
ton. in May Scribner.l
If anything were wanting to convince
the skeptical as to the high status of the
dog in this country at the present day,
it would only be necessary for him to
attend one of the dog or bench"
shows which are held in all the principal
cities. Although Englishmen have al
ways been more enthusiastic over these
four-footed friends than we, yet even
there great revival occurred some fif-
teen years ago when bench" shows
became common, and rivalry led to
in all popular breeds. The fever finally
spread to this country, but was at first
confined almost entirely to dogs used for
sporting purposes, such as the setter
and pointer; and it was not until the
occurrence of the show given by the
Westminster Kennel Club in New York
City last spring that the merits of the
transporting classes, and their right to a
prominent position at dog shows was
fully recognized. 1t was but Just that
this should be so. We cannot all be
sportsmen, and the owner of a pure
mastiff or st. Bernard, or even a di-
minutive terrier or pug, may take tbs
same pride and pleasure in the posses
sion of his or her pet and companion, as
the sportsman does in his bird dog.
Had we ever been blessed with Land
seer or Harrison Weir in this country,
it is possible that our knowledge of the
various breeds of dogs might not be so
! limited. As it is, we are obliged to go
to England for our authorities and for
our standards of excellence. There is
but one breed of dogs that can be said
to have originated in the United States,
and that's the Chesapeake Bay yretriever,
and of course the ancestors of this
strain came from Great Britain, although
how and when is a matter of uncer-
tainty. Our best dogs I speak of the
classes about which 1 am writing) are
all either direct importations or but one
or two generations removed from such,
and nine out of ten persons who are de-
scribing to you the excellence of their
pets will say with pride that he, or his
sire or dam, was imported from the ken
nels of So-and-so. In a few years this
will be changed. We are importing the
best. and with careful mating there is no
doubt but that we shall equal or excel
the productions of our English cousins.
They are coming to us for their short
horns; we may yet send them dogs. A
gentleman who breaks St. Bernards told
me recently he could almost guarantee
that there would be fifty entries of these
dogs alone at the Westminster Kennel
Club show which occurs on the four
teenth of May, 1878.

aPowell's CourtsIlip.e

Poor Powell, penurious, passionate,
and perfdious Pike, recently lost his
wife in San joaquin and setaeut for San
Francisco to get another. He confded
his yearning to Taggart, a champion OF
the unemployed workingwomen OF the
Pacific slope. The matrimonial agent
introduced him to Mrs. Margery Watson,
a prepossessing widow who was living
with married sister. With all the
ardor of second love, Powell proposed
before Taggart got to the front gate, and
before he could get the gate closed the
blushing and palpitating widow acknowl-
edged that the passion was returned.
Margery" said Powell, "I have ninety
acres of just as good ranch as ever laid
out O. doors, and paid for square up to
the last nickel. An l have house
its the Six-Mile House, six miles from
Stockton, on the Marryposey route, an
it cost me twenty-eight hundred dollars
if it cost me red, an it'sall paid for,
too. An keep a travern, an in the
summer time / take in from fifteen to
thirty dollars q day. Now, won't you
| join in with,me on the 9th p Margery
thought that the 9th would be too soon,
but she was willing to marry him on st.
Patrick Day. On the fatal evening a
large party ofinvited guests assembled to
witness the marriage ceremony and wait
for the bridegroom, buthe did notappear,
and the bride was very mad. On the
next day Taggart received the following!
EletterfromSan joaquin: ssWin youtell
Smith don't want that hoss for NOR n
seventy five dollars, as that is the SPAWN
he's got, sure, and I think he's got the
ring-bone, too. Tell that widow Tye
more wimmen nor know what to dc
with, an I don't want her. Yours
truly,-Powell." The widow read the
letter, slipped on. her walking-dress

and begun suit for breach of promise

THE WASHINGTON SOCIETY WOMAN.

The Washington society woman has
one grand absorbing passion-an en-
thusiastic devotion to herself that has
made her stoical on every other subject;
she may have her smiles and her tears,
her Joys and her sorrows, but they are
not for others. She adores dress, kneels
at the shrine of Mammon, burns incense
to dear mealy-mouthed society, ,fawns
upon the powerful and elevates her ex-
quisite nose at the knock-knevd. pot
bellied, and weak. She is an audacious,
perseyering, pioneering, little body her
motto is excelsior; and her Alps is the
social ladder. Sooner or later, probably
later, she will get married to senti-
mental youth, with well-balanced hair
and money; or, to what she would
prefer, money, with only-septuagenarian
incumbrance. Money, subsidiary to self,
is the supreme object of her life, and she
will secure it-through marriage, if she
can, but at any rate she will secure it.
Since the days of Babylon there have
been other careers for women at capitals
than matrimony. z5H @

was telling her about the wonders of the

I've got common sense, and / wouldn't

enough to be heard six hundred miles

winding up the speech of people into
machine and then getting it out again
whenever you wanted to, by just turn
ing little crank, wouldn't believe it,
no, not if you was to turn black in the
face telling it."
"But it's all true, aunt, every word
I've said to you, and can read it to you
in this paper" protested the young
man. ." It's the greatest discovery of
the age, and everybody is fairly going
wild over it."

at the cut, of the phonograph. 1t may
be, but it looks more like a patent
