A MiSehieTOuS Monkey.

We allude 10 the particular monkey

The kind-hearted superintendent, Mr..
Grubbs, places no restraint on the mon
key, but generally allows her the free
dom of the house. Recently it seems
she presumed Oh the familiarity existing
between herself and officers and inmates,
by visiting certain apartments, the doors
Of which were locked against her. Her
surreptitious visits were made by clamb-
ering up the door and crawling through
the trnnEom. In one Of the rooms thus
invaded the monkeys experience was
anything but delightful. 1t was the
medical department, and once inside she
helped herself. She first placed her
nose 20 a bottle containing ammonia
then she drank little of the drug. when,
with sharp, shrill yell she dropped the
bottle on the floor. bounded over the
door and into the corridor, where she in-
augurated a terrible chatter. " intermin-
gled with violent sneezing and parox-
ysm terrible 10 behold. She was furious
with rage, and her mode Of relating her
experience was ludicrous and afforded
witnesses "A deal Of amusement. Finally
she adjourned 10 the basement and kid
mapped kitten, causing CONSERVATION
to the mother cat in that department,
who seated y around at n lively rate.
The monkey at once retreated, and when
found in one OF the upper apartments,
was consoling herself by nursing the kit
ten. A fierce struggle occurred between
the superintendent and monkey before
she would release her grip on the kid
mapped feline; and then she became
melancholy again. Now, as she passes
the medicine room, with the door wide
open, she hangs her head at half mast,
and apparently says: Il want no more

Nexiean Adobe Houses.

A correspondent travelling II Arizona

there are only two short rainy seasons,
which occur in the winter and summer.

which is wetted and moulded into sizes
to suit the fancy; Of four inches thick by
eight and twelve, TO the same thickness
by twelve and twenty inches The adobe

laid up with the clay mortar for only one
story. Then comes the roof; poles are
laid across, and on these small brush or
the spines of the giant cactus are thickly
spread; over the whole is laid q thick
coating Of the adobe mud which, when
dried, sheds rain perfectly. There are.

for local habitations, which contain SO

4 New Rreed of Cats.

In the little manufacturing village OF
Queechy, Vt, has arrived a new breed
Of cats. Last spring they made then
first appearance. Several old family
cats, all of them quite aged, gave birth
to litters of kittens of very peculiar
appearance. They were long haired,
with large legs and long claws, and very
heavy tails. One specimen in each lit
ter was raised, 80 as 10 see this freak oi
nature in maturity. At six months OF
age they we're very large. Some of them
are striped like lion, others are quite
black. The fur is from three 10 six
inches in length all over the body q
tuft of long hair rims the ears. The
head is like that of any cat, except the
eyes of all Of them have wild or fright
ened look. At the neck the fur stands
out like a wide rufle, the tail is covered
with long fur, and would measure, per-
haps, six inches iu circumference. All
of them are very active, and will spring
from the floor to the top of room eight
or nine feet high with perfect ease.
When frightened they are disposed to
turn and show fight, and they will not
permit much petting. -Phttddetrhia

A Sensational Wedding.

A very singular wedding is reported
as having lately occurred In small
town in England, famous for it's hunting
parties. The bride being celebrated

riding habits and the gentlemen hunt.
ing suits with high top boots and spurs.
While the ceremony was in progress
the church was crowded with hunts
men in red coats, which contrasted
strangely with the brides orange
blossoms and satin dress with a long
white velvet train, and the toilets of the
twelve bridesmaids, which were OF
"poult de sole, trimmed with fur and
branches of holly. After the ceremony
and breakfast the whole party rode off,
followed by grooms in livery, a pack
of hounds, and hundreds of huntsmen
dressed in scarlet. The effect of this
spectacle is said to have been novel and
magnificent. Three different scenes
OF the wedding, the view in the church,
and the party at breakfast, and in front
of the chateau, with the hunters advanc.
ing on horseback to congratulate the
bride, are to be painted and presented
TO the bride, while small copies will be
kept for the guests. -PhtLddeiphio
