THEYLIPE IN THE SINE HOUSE,

religious beliefs, engaged in tene-
mont house quarrel the night before
last; and almost all of the female
inhabitants of the place were inter
ested in it. They carried their
grievances to the Ffty-seventh
Street Court, and when Judge
Kilbreth called out "Burle against
Weldon" no loss than five taikatiye
nnd quarrelsomo women stepped on
the witness stand. The Burke
brigade numbered three: Mrs.
Burke, dark featured, dark eyed and
with glossy black hair her mother,
old and gray haired Mrs. Candon,
small and demonstrative.
'Ah, but sho struck mo sore,"
said tho complainant.
The mother-"The villain Lock
her up, Your Honor"
"Listen to me- said Condor
s'listen to me. Mrs. Buake mot
Mrs. Weldon on the stairs listen
to me. Said I, Mrs. Weldon, you
60 up Listen to me !"
The Weldons were represented by
the pale-faced defendant and Mrs.
Kelly, ponderous female.
''Listen to me !"
81 won't have it," said Weldon,
"You get a beating from your hus-
band every day"
Condon-What's that to the case ?
"You fight like dogs"
"My names Kelly said the indi,
vidual bearing that namo.
"Let Kelly speak" said the
magistrate.
II seen it all. Burke called her q
Protestant dog who could stand
that ?"
All then joined in fierce
harangue. Condor moved to the
front and faced Kelly, who worked
her arms as if getting up muscle
to strike out and domolish her op-
ponent. Weldon shook his head OF
the Burkes. when the Younger of
the last named gesticulated wildly
and the mother worked her fingers
as if they itched to get into her
enemy's hair.
Then up the contre of the room
came little figure with large, roll
ing eyes, like Joey Bagstock's, and
the fiercest Of expressions on her
face. She confronted Kelly, and
placing her arms akimbo, shouted
"You're a Liar I'm here to
confront you. You're q liar +
seen you coming, and Tin here to
speak" To the Justice-"My name?
! won't tell unless it's necessary.
Well, it's Cowing."
"Kelly," said tho magistrate,
"step down. Cowing has settled
you"
"IIisten to me, repeated Condor.
"Her husband thrashes her."
said Weldon.
81 seen it all !" exclaimed Kelly.
''She's q l-i-a-r!" came from the
retreatiDg Cowing.
"You don't all live in the same
house 2" asked the justice.
Chorus-''Wo do :"
''Every one, then, is under bonds
to keep the peace" said the magis-
trate N. Y. Herald.
Cu1MpANzEE.--Somo very remar.
kable traits of intelligence have re-
Gently been observed in the large
chimpanzee at the Aquarium in
New York. It is q known fact that
the discharge of firearms oauses
considerable uneasiness to all the
members Of the monkey tribe, fro
quently frightening them 80 badly
as to cause death. There is a per-.
formance on the stage of the
Aquarium in which a pistol is used,
and for fully five minutes preceding
it's discharge the chimpanzee is on
the watch for tho moment of it's
report, and his actions meanwhile
are precisely those of q child under
like circumstances. He will get
to the farthest corner of his cage
and watch the stage intently, then
suddenly rush back to place where
a view Of tho performance can be
had, and just as tho pistol is about
to be fired he will seek the far cor-
ner and actually place his hand over
both oars to exclude the noise of the
pistols explosion. AS soon as the
noise has taken place the chimpan-
zee will run briskly to tho glass side
and peer intontly at the stage again,
as if endeavoring to ascertain the
cause of SO much commotion. This
curious fact has boon observed by O.
great many visitors.
