AnecdOte of Wade.

During the impeachment trial of
President johnson a very amusing oc-
currence happened one day between Mr..
Wade and Mr.. Chase, who presided at
the trial. The session was to open at
twelve o'clock M, and it was within
twenty minutes of hat time, and the
Chief Justice had not made his appear
ance in the Vice-President's room. The
hands of the clock crept slowly but
surely near the figure XII, when sud-
denly the door was thrown open, and in
stalked the Chief-J Justice. He walked
hurriedly to the wardrobe, but his robe
of office was not upon its accustomed
peg, nor on any peg. What was to be
done? Pages were summoned; this,
that, and the other room, desk and
drawer were examined, but no robe was
discovered. In the midst of this excite
ment, the grim, honest old hero, Ben
Wade, made his appearance with a nod
and a grunt to the Hurried occupants of
the room. He walked to the hat rack,
and, depositing his hat, went to a sofa on
the other side of the room to leave his
umbrella in a safe place. The excite
ment was still going on, when Wade,
after learning the cause of the trouble,
without entering into the furry of the
hunt, leaned over the sofa, and with his
umbrella hooked up an uncertain look
ing black bundle. Seeing it was the
long looked for robe, he held it toward
Mr.. Chase with, "Here, Chase, here's
your old frock you've been making such
a COMPOUNDED fuss about" The pages
smiled.

Spiders Travelling Around the World.

At recentmeeting ofthe Philadelphia
Academy of Sciences, the Rev. DIR.
McCook contributed an interesting essay
on spiders. One species, Sdrotes venator-
ius, is distributed with little variation in
form or color, all around the world.
From cabinet specimens he could traceit
going westward, from the extreme eastern
limit of this continent to. the extreme
western coast of Africa. He has found
the line of distribution to coincide with
the belt of northern trade winds. He
thinks the spiders migrated from point
to point by throwing out line threads
and suspending themselves so as to be
carried by the wind. So far as he has
been able to prosecute the inquiry, there
is a corresponding line of distribution
for these spiders in countries swept by
the southern trade winds. The theory
needs further facts as to the presence OF
absence Of these insects ON islands in the
ocean, before it can be fully accepted
if verified it may help to determine the
open questions as to missing continents
since it cannet be supposed that spiders
could cross wide spaces of water.

A Sad Life and Its Ending.

OF all tales, the saddest is that of a
wasted life; and the more sad is it when
some eccentricity of the person makes
US smile. A few years ago, there lived
in Washington, D.. c., a dilapidated gen.
tleman, whose eccentricities made him
one of the sights" Strangers sought
an introduction to the fallen "Beau,"
who in gentle tones would remind them
that a silver "quarter" was the "toIl"
paid by all who made his acquaintance.
He never drank, saying when asked:
won't you take something"
"Thank you, I never drink, but FL
take two cigarsif you don't object. The
price is the same as that of a drink"
His was a wasted life, for he was not
wanting in talent, and had a good adj
dress.
A man, resembling in some respects
this "dead beat" Of Washington So
ciety, lately died in Paris of delirium
tremens. He was of a noble family,
was himself a viscount, and yet for
years he was a social highwayman, levy
ing "toll" at the point of his sword
upon all whom he met. De Recaltier
would patronize the frst-class restau-
rants of Paris from nine until midnight,
and the nature of his patronage, and the
methods by which he subsisted upon the
public, are thus described:
If he were hungry, he took a piece of
bread from n table, and a piece of
pastry or anything that was handy
from another. If he were thirsty, he
helped himself to a few glasses of wine
or cognac-the latter by preference.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, he
was accustomed to place himself on
guard at the door Of any circle where
gambling was going on, and, as gentle
men left, he begged the loan of a ten
frank piece.
As he was known to make a refusal a
personal matter, and as he was a famous
swordsman, he generally obtained the
loan. Latterly, however, the spell be-
gan to lose its power, by reason of the
difficulty the viscount met. with in find
ing a second.
Despite his poverty and the smell of
brandy which always chung to him, his
historical name and distinguished title
secured for the viscount a certain pres.
tige, particularly among young men
from the country.
Very recently he had his arms.in gold
and c%olors, with crown, helm and shield
bearers, engraved upon his carte, which,
on being presented, had rather an i'm
posing effect, and brought in the ten.
franc pieces more rapidly. Of course
he I've paid the engraver, and posi-.
bly, never got the bill, for he had a way
of making known the fact that the pre-.
sentation of an account was a deadly
insult, to be wiped out only by blood.
When his last hour approached, he
sought the consolation of religion,
The priest came and exhorted him TIC
repentance. As the good father left the
room, the viscount rang the bell, and,
addressing the ga,con of the hotel where
he had secured a room, said, "Take
down the name and address of that
priest. He has used towards me a tone
that is exceedingly offensive, and as
o as 1 am able to stand, 1 shall send
a friend to himl" Then he lay back
and died.

negro men who were convicted at the last
term of Court, in Wilmington, Delaware,
of having committed, on August Is last, a
felonious assault on white female tramp,
named Kate Smith, were hanged in the Jail
yard at New Castle, March %, in the pres.
enc of about two hundred and twenty-five
people. The prisoners passed a quiet night,
and arose at an eaily hour in the morning,
saying they felt much better than they had
at any previous time since their conviction.
They ate but little breakfast, and spent the
morning in devotional exercises with their
spiritual advisers, the Revs. Isaac Young
and T. W. Herbert, both colored. Both men
asserted their innocence, and declared that
hey were willing to go.

The South.

The execution of Gus. johnson, for the
murder of Daniel Afford, a colored man, in
August, 1875, took place in Rome, Ga, on
the 18th of March. The case has attracted
a great deal of attention throughout that
section, both on account Of the desperate
character of the condemned man, and be.
cause it is thought that this is the first in
stance in the history of this State of the
hanging of a white man for the killing of a.
negro. Eight thousand people witnessed
the execution.
The Supreme Court of Louisiana has dis.
posed of the Returning Board trials, sustain.
ing the point raised by the defense in the
case of Thomas C. Anderson, that a " cor
sslidated statement of the votes for the Pres
idential Electors for the Parish of Vernon
was not a public record" The Court
also ordered that the verdict of the jury in
the case of Anderson be ~annulled, and that
he be discharged. This puts an end to the
prosecutions in the Returning Board cases

The West.

Captain Constance Williams, of the
Seventh Infantry, stationed at Fort Belknap,
has sent to military headquarters the re-
suit of several scouting expeditions, which
confirms the report recently telegraphed by
United States Consul Taylor, at Winnipeg,
Manitoba. Captain Williams learns that
the forces under Sitting Bull aggregate,
with what he has assurances of receiving in
the way of reenforcements, nearly seven
thousand fighting men. The talk among
them is hat they will fight nobody, but il
ony one comes across their path taey will
get it just the same. The Indians are well
supplied with ammunition, and the situa'
ton is regarded as critical, and decisive
| measures are urged.

ABOUT PARRoTs.-Deacon Green was
talking about parrots the other day.
He said he once knew a parrot that was
not as polite as "Pippity," the one men
toned in a story called "Tower Noun
tain" The parrot that he knew would
swear whenever he opened his bill. It
had been taught by the sailors on board
| the ship in which it had come from
| South America. When the deacon
knew it, it belonged to the widow of a
very strict minister. 1t had been
brought to her by her nephew, a mid
shipman, as a Christmas present. 1t
was lucky for him, Just then, that the
| old lady was stone deaf. She was very
cross with the neighbors when they told
her what wicked words the bird used.
1t was a great pet, and she would not
believe anything bad about it. But
at last it swore at a visitor who was a
bishop, and o after, it was no more.
Since the Deacon told that story
have had a paragram about another
parrot; one that lived in Edinburgh,
Scotland, five years ago. This n could
laugh, weep, sing songs, make a noise
like "smacking the lips" and talk. Hi
talking was not merely by rote; he
would speak at the right times, and say
what was just right to be said then and
there. He spoke the words plainly
bowed, nodded, shook his head, winked
rolled from side to side, or made othel
motions suited to the sense of what HI
was saying. His voice was full ant
clear, and he could pitch it high O
low, and make it seem joyful or sad
Many curious tales are told of him, bu
the most remarkable thing about hin
is that he actually lived and really dit
the things named.
That's what the paragram says. Stol
let me think a moment. May be tn
parrot himself sent it'll But no; b
wasn't smart enough for that; 1 re
member, now, the signature was "Cham
bers."-"Jack-in-the- Pulpa,"& Nicholas

what Three Little Kittens Did.

Three little kittens, so downy and soft,
Were cuddled up by the fire,
And two little children were sleeping aloft,
As cezy as heart could desire;
Dreaming of something ever so nice,
Dolls and sugar plumsl rats and mice!
The night wore on, and the mistress said,
tim sleepy, 1 must confess,
And as kitties and babies are safe inbedi
I'll go to bed, tso, 1 guess"
So she went up stairs just a story higher,
While the kittens slept by the kitchen-fre.
"What noise can that be ?" the mistress said;
"Me-oU! me-oU"' "Im afraid
A poor kitty cats fallen out of bed!
The nice little nest / made!"
"Me-oUt ne-otrr' "Dear me, dear me!
I wonder what can the matter ber'
The mistress paused on an upper stair,
For what did she see below,
But three little kittens with frightened air,
Standing up in a rowl
With six little paws on the step above,
And no mother cat to caress or Lowell
Through the kitchen door came a cloud of smoke!
The mistress, in great alarm,
To a sense of danger straightway awoke;
Her babies might come to harm!
On the kitchen hearth to her great amaze,
Was the basket of shavings beginning to blazel

"FLcK."-A correspondent Of the
Journal of Education thus relates her ex-
perience in attempting to help q child

"After a few seconds she wrote as fol-
lows: Flick is a pretty little dog, with
a face like a monkey he has two bright
eyes-roguish eyes, my sister calls them;
he has a little tall Here Mary's ideas
became somewhat confused; she wanted
to say something more, and yet she
could not think of anything. Finally
she continued: Flick often runs to
amuse himself at the minister's house.
He has gone there to-day'-and at this
place the child, having read her com
position aloud, deliberately laid down
her pencil, closed her copy-book, and
folded her arms. well, Mary said /,
have you fnishedT 'Ah,' she replied,
in the most innocent manner, Il cant
finish my composition; Flick has moi
come back; we must wait till he re-
turns The reason appeared to me sc
comical that I could say no more"
