new 1oTk lines.
His Holiness, Pope Pho Mono,
was received by his illnstrious
predecessor with a smile Of corr
dial welcome. "You have had
a long and tranquil reign" said
tho Saint. 81 trust you have
left the affairs Of our holy church
ii O fiQurishing condition on
earth?"
His Holiness assured St. Pc
ter that the Catholic faith was
never more firmly rooted and
grounded, and the influence of
the Church never more firmly
established than when he left it
in Rome; in fact, that Macaul-
Iey was right when he said that
she wonld yet exist in nndimin-
ished vigor when that New Zea-
lander was making his cclebra-
ted sketch of the ruins of Paul's.
The Saint looked pleased, ,and
said to His Holiness, II am
glad, to hear so favorable an ac-
count of your spiritual reign.
Was your temporal reign equal
~ successful?"
''Not IN all respects" replied
His Holiness; "still / left be-
hind me about twenty-four mill
ions of money"
4 ''Indeed," said St. Peter, "we
touched no snch sum as that in
our day. To whom did you in
trust such a vast hoard?"
"The Rothschilds,' said his
Holiness. hcsitatingly.
Something like q frown over
spread the face of the Saint.
"rhe Rothchilds," said he,
with deliberation, 'are they not
Jews?"
81 belieyc-tllat is to say-I
think-yes--they are" said his
Holiness, with still greater hesi-
tation.
Sand doyou mean 10 tell me"
SAID the Saint, sternly, "that
you, the Vicar of Jesus Christ
on earth, deposited the contri-
buttons of our holy Church with
the descendants of those men
who rcviled and spat upon and
cruelty put Him to death?"
"Well-ah!-yes, l did,"
"Why did you," said the ST.,
sternly. "You should have had
a powerful reasonY
81 did have powerful one"
replied Holiness. "The truth
is, ST. Peter, | did not know
any Christian whom / was will
ing to trust with so much
money!"

A Lady's Strange Pets.
Two Lions in a House Living AT
Peace with the Inmates.


Most ladies choose a dog, a
cat, a canary or pony for u pet,
and often "set their lives upon
them," but rarely does one hear
of a lady attaching herself to
such strange pets as the writer
saw at Mrs. Lincoln's, 54 How
ard street, a day OF two ago.
Living in the family are a couple
of lions, twenty-one months
old, brought up by the hand of
Mrs. Lincoln. They are Afrl-
can lions, a species not easily
reared in this country, but Mrs.
Lincoln has succeeded, by the
exercise Of great care, in rear
ing them 10 their present age
Iand size. The male weighs a.
bout 250 pounds and the female
perhaps fifty pounds less. They
have been at the house on How
ard street since last September,
and until within a month have
had the "run Of the place." go
ing about the rooms with con-
siderable freedom. AS a meas
ure ofcaution the police thought
the creatures should be re-
strained, and their quarters are
now more limited than former
ly, although they have a safe
outdoor run and a room adj
joining the kitchen, with only
strong wire door separating
the apartments. Mrs. Lincoln
is as free with her pets as ladies
are with their poodles. She
plays with them; feeds them
from her hands, and has taught
them various tricks. They will
kiss her at her bidding, jump
through a hoop, &c. Before
the police restrictions were
placed upon them the animals
were accustomed TO walk into
the kitchen or parlor among
guests, and go back to their
quarters without offering harm
to any one. A year ago the
lioness used to occupy the same
couch with the lady at night,
but now she has grown full
large to be taken upon a COM
mon bcdstead. The animals are
quite a curiosity, and their gen.
tfeness shows plainly how po-
tent is the law of kindress, e.
ven with the brute creation.

Peculiar Insurance
Trial.

"John G.. Prather IS. the Mich
igan Mutual Life Insurance

cover on a policy of $4,000 on
the life Of his wife, who died i'll
October, 1876. The company
claims that the dead woman was
poisoned bypthe plaintiff. and
assumes the burden of proof.

murder of his wife and acquit-
ted, and The defence to the claim
of the company will be this
fact, and that no reason existed
for suspecting him of the crime.

There are several grounds Of
divorce in China, one of which
is for talkativcness-not such a
foolish one as it might seem.
Speaking of divorce, an easy
one is that of the Burmese. If
the husband and wife are tired
of each others society, they
dissolve partnership by light
ing two candles and shutting
up their hut, sit down and wait
quietly until they are burned
ont. The one whose candle
burns out first gets up and
walks off with nothing but the
clothing he or she may have on
at the time; all else becomes
the property of the one who re-
mains.

THE BOYS.
Twas part Of m

Twas part Of my wedding portion,
This spot where the old house stands,
And had the choosing of it,
From all my fathers lands.
We were young but we were not foolish
Or wasteful, you may depend,
And my mother always tlught me
| Twas better to save thln spenl.
For while, you know, it was lonely
! With me in the house all day,
And no one to come anigh me
To hear what had 10 say;
But when / sat with my baby,
My boy, asleep on my arm,
didn't care much for the neighbors
Or anything else on the farm.
There were Jack and Ben. you remember,
They were all that ever had;
And Jack was his mothers idol,
Though Ben was likely lad;
And we saved up every penny,
j
For little farm is little cramped
For couple Of growing boys.
l was bent on their having learning,
For / wanted my Jack and Ben
To be able TO serve thir country
Whenever she needed men;
And father said was silly,
For he never couli understand
The use of spending money
For anything els, than land.
But kept on my way of thinking,
And. thoughnot otherwise, saw
That both had taste for study,
But Jack had taste for law;
And knew that my prayers and prudence
Would after Will. BE- acknowledged,
And it paid for all the struggle
When eaterel my boys at college.
can see that father is failing,
And there is no strength in his arm
To swing the scythc in the meadow,
Or do the work on the farm;
And somehow I've lost my courage,
Though try to be calm and brave;
But what can mother do but weep,
With both her boys in the grave?
The house was never SO Lonely,
Aud my poor old man and
Sit oft in the chimney corner
And drssm of the days gone by;
And when the too solemn silence
Is broken by sudden noise,
We start with the old-time gladnees,
And whisper: "Here come the boys"

No Use for ,Enn.

AT a meeting of the Sazara

whether it was original or not
is worthy of publications:
Once when l was practicine
over in Sira county, Califor-
MIA, Il fellow got caved on by q
bank, and got his skull frac-
ltured clean out of shape. They
picked him up and brung him to
me, and | made a diagnosis of
his case, and found that his
fbraln, which was exposed, was
ifnll of dirt and rock. There
wasn't nothin' to do but to take
1T out and clean it; the idea of
q man goin' around with the ac-
tion of his brain bein' inter-
fered with by three or four
pounds of clay and gravel was
clean out of the question, and /
set too much store by my med
lcal reputation to consent TO
any such doin's. / took out the
brains, and put them in a tin
pan, and while / was washin'
OF 'em, the patient seed fell
low across the street what he
had some dizziness with, and
went over to have q talk with
him. He forgot to come back
after his brains and I didn't see
him again for two months,
when on cne day, bein' in the
jinin county, l seed him,
hailed him and told him that
them brains was up in my office,
and if he wanted 'em, he'd bet
ter come and git 'em."
"Don't want 'em," said he.
"Why not?" said /.
oval, you see," said he, "I'm
runnin' for the Legislature now,
and l don't need 'em; got no
use in the world for 'em; fact is

When she was born, maybe
the morning stars sang together

lady of eighteen summers, the
admiration of her parents and
at whose presence more than a

promise of an evening walk

! Among this vast multitude
of admirers are men of various
avocations, from the humble
shoemaker to those who have
attained the highest profession

But present or absent, these
persons could never induce her
to make any selection or dis
tinction; her only reply would
'te that 81 have determined not
to join heart and hand with any

twenty" This being so often
and emphatically uttered by her,
these admirers began SEEM
ingly at one exclamation to say,
"We'll hunt another fish; there
are as many in the sea as were
ever taken out" Now we see
her at twenty still arrayed in
fashionable costume, but that
one, this one, nor the other one
are not bowing and putting on
bewitching airs before her. But
she is not entirely forsaken yet;
there is a fellow from Nashville
calls occasionally, another from
Memphis perhaps. These calls,
however, arc made more for
convenience than for specially
being in company with the fair
