A Singular Attachment.

Last spring Mr.. William Sinclair, OF
Cambray, caught young crow before
it could fly and brought it home, and it
soon became quite tame. 1t struck up
warm friendship with hound belong
ing to Mr.. Sinclair. The crow always
was around with the hound, shared his
meals, and slept in his box at night, on
the bottom, not seeking to perch, I'M
less they were disturbed during the
night, when he would come out and fly
up into one of the trees near by and re-
main there until morning. When Civ
en- food it would invariably take por-
ton to the hound. 1t would not give it
to him at once, but would fly around
lust above his head with piece of meat
or crust of bread in his bill, and keep
teasing him for quite while with it,
and then would finally let him have it.
But last week instinct began to be too
powerful, and he concluded that he
must 60 to other quarters for the win
ter, and it was amusing to see how he
tried to coax the hound away with him.
He would fly away little piece and
then light and then cav to the dog;
then he would fly back and seemed in
great distress because he could not in
duce his four-footed friend to 60 to
warmer quarters for the winter; but,
finding he would not leave, he at length
flew off and has not been seen since

A Dramatic Situation.

The British fleet near Constantinople lie with
their guns pointed at the Russian shore. The
Russians on shore stand with their guns pointed
at the British feet. Neither will retire 40
long as the other rem aims, and neither Is anx-
ious to fire at the other. The situation is par
alel to that in Mr.. Puff's tragedy of 1.-THE Span
ish Armada" Those familiar with that great
drama will remember the stage direction: ''The
two Nieces draw their two daggers to strike
Whiskerandos. the two Uncles at the instant
with their two swords drawn catch their two
Nieces' arms. and turn the points of their
swords to Whiskerandos, who Immediately
draws two daggers and holds them to the two
Nieces' bosoms" The author, delighted with
the splendid creations of his genius, rubs his
hands and says to the friends witnessing the re-
hearsal of his play: "Thers's situation for you.
there's an heroic group! You see the ladies'
can't stab Whiskerandos; he durst not strike
them for fear OF their uncles; the unces burst
not kill him because of their nieces; have
them all at the deadlock, for every one of them
is afraid to go first" One of the company
naturally remarks that in either case they must
stand there forever. which Mr.. Puff admits
but adds that he has "a very fine contrvance
for it," which is shown by the entrance of
"Beefeater, with his hslbsrd," exclaiming,
I'm the Queens name charge you al to drop
your swords and aaggers?" They drop their
weapons and march off arm in arm.
Now the fine contrivance for ending the
deadlock on the Bosphorus is probably the en-
trance of Germany in the character of "Beefeater
with his halberd," bidding all parties to drop
their weapons, link arms and walk off. But
suppose Germany misses its cue and does not
come at the proper time? The situation yould
be awkward and would soon become uncomfort-
able and tritie dangerous. .-CleueLand Herald

The British Quarterly Revie,o for April, just
republished by the Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., Al Barclay Street, New York, contains
some interesting articles. Among them are:
The First Ten Years of the Canadian Domin-
ion, which briefly reviews the history of the
period, describes the political parties of old
Canada, the formation of the Dominion, the
rise of the Opposition and the defeat of the First
Dominion Government; Mycen@ which describes
DR.. Schliemanu's recent discoveries, and exam
ines atlength the traditions about the death and
funeral of Agamemnon with many doubts as to
the prehistoric" theory; Victor Hugo, which
pronounces Victor Hugo to be the creates Euro
pean poet of our century, and in illustration of
this opinion, criticisss in detail his principal
poems, dramas, and romances; A Woman's
Reply to Frederic Harrison, which is a short
protest by Frances Martin against Mr.. Harri-
sons theory of the Soul and Future Life. In the
Northwest Frontier of India the principal
features of the border-land are described, in
cluding the British relations with Afghanistan,
and the Persian Boundary; the apprehension of
aRussian attack on this frontier is pronounced
to be an absurd dream. Constantinopls
gives an account of the present social and po-
itical state of that city, by writer who has re-
sided there for five years. Phases Of the
Eastern Question briefly presents the questions
which Europe is now called upon to decide and
ratify. The closing section, Contemporary Lit
erature, reviews, as usual, the principal publi-
cations Of the last gu arter.
