Tisdell's Parrot.

SOME time ago fine-talking parrot
was presented to Col. Tisdcll, agent of
the Brazilian Steamship Company for
this city, and the gentleman has had
the bird quartered in his room at the
Riggs House. The parrot is noted for
being very learned, and can talk re-
markedly plain, and creates no little
amusement for the edifcation of the
Colonel and his callers. Last Sunday,
by some means the parrot escaped and
flew out of the window, and landed
finally upon a crosspiece of a telegraph
pole on q street, near Fifteenth. He
sat there for while, looking around,
and was evidently satisfied with his
observations. Suddenly lady and
gentleman on their way to church were
startled by a scream of ''Look out,
there, I'm going to fall"
In an instant, with blanched faces,
the gentleman and his companion
looked hurriedly toward the upper win
dows of Bodin's tall building, expect
ing to see human being tumble down.
They stared and stared, but saw moth
ing, and again the cry arose:
"Oh, catch me, catch me, I'm going
to fall"
"What can it mean" said the gen.
tleman. I'm sure | heard voice,
but can see no one"
"Look out, here come. Look out"
screamed the voice again, and the gen.
tleman and lady moved out into the
street in a hurry. As they did so they
attracted the notice of a number of
other people who halted and stared
also. What's the matter?" asked
several. The gentleman explained.
Then everybody looked. Again the
voice arose and said:
" Stand from under, I'm falling. Look
out. Ha, ha, ha, har'
ITS apoll parrot, l see him up
there" exclaimed small boy, point
ing to where polly sat, wisely looking
down upon the crowd that then num-
bered several hundred. Everybody saw
the bird and great laugh followed. |
The next move was to capture the bird, |
and many devices followed. One man
said: "Come down, polly.
Pretty poll, polly want a crackerP''
what yer givin' me, taffyp" shouted
he bird, amid roar from the crowd
mice poll, come down. Pretty
bird. want cracker, pollyP" said the
nan again.
"Whatd yer soy?" screamed the
bird.

sided. A resolution was adopted CON
demning the violation by the congress
of Berlin of the principle of national

ing the solidarity of Italians with the

The policy of the English Govern
ment in the East is thus outlined by
the London Times: Interference with
the prerogative of the Sultan will be
avoided. The most important require
ment which will be pressed on the
Porte will be the choice of honest and
capable Governors, and their enjoyment
of secure tenure of office. Under
the authority of these Governors we
shall expect incorruptible administra-
ton of the law by educated and COM
petent Judges, and the maintenance of
public order by an efficient police, with
carefully selected officers. We shall
further insist that the revenue be raised
without eXtortion, and for this purpose
we shall urge that the practice of farm
ing out the taxes be abolished and that
settlement, after the example of India,
based on survey, shall be substituted
for it,

in 1874 for the Duke of Edinburgh, and
will be in addition to the $4,000 9
year which his Royal Highness already
draws from the State. The allowance
to the Prince of Wales, voted in 1868
on his marriage, was f40, 900 a year, il
addition to which the Princess of Wales
has 100000 year. The Princess Roy
al draws $4,000 year. The f10,00(
voted to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1877
was in addition to the G15,0 a veal
he has received since he attained his
majority in 1866. The Princess Alice
draws $4,000 year, and the Princes.
Helena and the Princess Louise the
same sum. Prince Leopold, like hi.
brothers, has f15,000 a year. The to
tai amount paid by the nation as allow
ances to the Queens children amounts
to E131, 900 year.

Do Lakes Disappear With the Forests

The lowering of the water level in
Otsego Lake, Mich, has been cited as
one of the numberless evidences of a
gradual process of desiccation taking
place all over the continent to the east
as well as to the west of the Rocky
Mountains, simultaneously with the dis
appearance of the forests. A CORE
spondent of the Detroit Free Press calls
attention, however, to some facts not
in harmony with this theory. About
two years ago, he says, the water in
Otsego Lake began to rise, and last
summer poured over its southern en-
bankment for several weeks, an occur
renee unknown before. The rise and
fall of the water in these Michigan Lakes
are, he thinks. probably periodic and
due to causes not yet satisfactorily eX-
planned. In 1873 the first settlers began
to cut marsh hay around five lakes in
Allegan county, and continued to do so
annually. In 1876 the water in the
lakes began to rise, and persisted in
rising all through the following winter
and the unusually dry summer of 1877,
flooding the settlers public meadow and
reaching a height of about three feet
above the water level of 1873. Stimuli
taneously with this the water in Porcu-
pine Lake, few miles distant, came up
and gradually overlooked the solid neck
of land over which the public road
passed, and now it is spanned by a
bridge. These lakes all lie on a level
table-land, the highest point on the
lower peninsula of the State, and are
generally without appreciate outlet,
inlet, or connection.

Rough ON the Doctor.

A painter in one of our large man
ufacturing establishments came home
few evenings ago tired and hungry,
and after eating heartily, called at the
house of a neighbor, and, as his own
family were all away, remained till
bedtime, when he went home to be taken
violently i'll. Being alone, he called for
help, saying that he was vomiting blood.
A near neighbor, who had retired and
was fast asleep, heard the alarm and
made haste to do all that was possible
to relieve the suffering man. He was
found still vomiting, having now thrown
up nearly pint. The case was alarming
and the means ofrelief must be prompt
Six neighbors were Immediately on

sician, who was not well, but gave the
messenger a note to young DR.. -,
who was on hand in the least possible
time. After examining the blood thrown
off he said that it was a severe case of
congestion, which had caused rupt-
ure of some blood vessel. The man
had become weak and could no longer
support himself. So he was helped to
undress and put to bed, and orders

as little noise as possible, and the
patient was not to talk or in any way
strain his lungs, for fear of another
hemorrhage. To aid in keeping him
quiet the doctor injected morphine into
his arm, which had good effect, and
in little time he was in a gentle slum-
Der. All were strangers so far as
knowledge of things about the house
was concerned. SO message was sent
for a daughter and her husband, who
came and were alarmed at the condi-
ton of their father. They watched
with him and gave him medicine at
short intervals through the night. In
the morning he appeared no worse, but
was very weak. In looking about it
was found that the porch floor had re-
vealed new feature in the case. The
blood was found to be highly i'm
pregnated with huckleberries. This
led to thorough examination, and all
the contents were discovered to be
huckleberries, and not a particle of
blood! The patient, still weak in bed,
was informed of the discovery, and,
after good laugh all around, got up
and went into his garden, where he
worked till dinner-time, after which he
went to his regular business, happy
and well. But alas for that doctor!-

A Lonely Place.

l have often heard people say of
such and such place that they are so
lonely, and the women in particular
have complained that they never see
anything, never 60 anywhere and that
they might as well be dead But what
do you think of this place for loneli-
ness? Altogether there are six of us
one lady, quiet and young-four en-
ployes, one away most of the time, or
perhaps two or three away; often dur
ing the day all gone, and when night
comes each has his special duty to per-
form and is out of sight, or is seen only
for a moment. So the sun goes down
over the mountains with cedars on the
north side, and one looks down the mar
row valley which opens little a mile
or so to the north-looks along the
wagon road where only one track has
been made this year, as if some one
were coming tired and ready for a
warm supper; looks out through the
gap in the range as if a four-horse
team might be discovered in hurry to
make the five or six miles before dark.
but not a soul is seen; nothing moves
unless it be Indian ponies, a boy riding
behind to seek fresh range; and the
sun slants its long shadows by the des-
olate stockade and among the four In
dian houses, where supper is cooking
over a fire outdoors. If there were q
neighbor five miles away, or ten or
twenty miles, it would be quite cheer
full, and one could ride over for a visit
once month and receive one as often.
but it is siXty-fve miles to the nearest
house, where, by the way, no family is
now living, the woman having gone
East because it was so lonely. The
lady here came two years ago; the one
who left two weeks ago had been here
four years, and never been out once:
but she got fashion paper once
week, and how she felt when she
reached the railroad nobody will prob
ably ever know Greeley Tribune.

The Paris Exhibition.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial from Hon A. j. Goshorn.
at Paris:
During the last fortnight have had
frequent and special opportunities to
examine the great Exposition at Champ
de Mars, and especially to observe the
representation made by the United
States. L have noticed several adverse
criticisms in the home press that have
done great injustice both to the general
appearance of the section, the objects
eXposeo,, nd especially to the Commits
sioner neral and his assistants. Not
whilst Hing our Government accepted
the I'M ation after all the other nations
had nAde great progress in their in
stallatlon preparations, and notwith-
standing the great distance of America,
and the very few weeks granted it to
interest and secure exhibitors, find to
my surprise, large display of import
ant industries, Systematically arranged
and creditable alike to our own coun-
try and to the energy and executive
skill OF the gentlemen in charge.
While there is an unfortunate absence
of many important industrial interests
OF the United States, the representa-
ton is so infinitely superior to those
heretofore made abroad that we have
excellent reasons for congratulation.
1t is attracting marked attention, and
that will surely bring good results.
we cannot expect to successfully COM
pete in high art and in objects of dec
Grafton and ornamentation which occu-
Ply so much space in the Exposition.
We have reason to hope, however, that
III another decade we shall be equal, if
not superior, in these industries to
most of the nations here present. The
best possible use has been made of the
space allotted by the French authori-
ties to the United States, and the aori-
cultural annex constructed by Gov.
Mccormick is a valuable and necessary
addition, and presents as favorable an
as any of those erected by
other countries for similar purposes.
The criticism to which refer was no
doubt made when the buildings were in
great disorder and confusion, but now
everything is in place and Judgment
can be passed on the plans adopted for
the arrangement of the United States
section. 1t is but just to Gov. McCor-
mick, the Commissioner-Genera and
his assistants, whom | have ALWAYS
found polite, industrious and well-in-
formed in their duties, to say that thew

ion for executing under most embarras-

swered, and the crowd roared again.
Several persons attempted to climb
after the bird, but it was too spry, and
always moved out of reach when any
one approached. Laughing and ieer-
ing and making queer remarks, the
parrot attracted crowd all day long
until nightfall, when an employee of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
put on his spurs, climbed the pole, and
in the darkness made the truant bird
prisoner. After being returned to his
quarters, in Col. Tisdell's room, he
remarked that Polly had good
time. ''-Crttic.

A PRETTY deer is dear to me,

His Continuous Journey.

Last evening a man with red mud on
his boots and WEAKNESS all over him en-
tered car of an incoming train at
station dozen miles or SO from New
York. When the conductor came along
the weary man drew from his vest
pocket the last half of an excursion
ticket between New York and station
some half dozen miles beyond where he
entered the train, and on another branch
of the road, over which the train had
not passed. The conductor quietly re-
turned the ticket and remarked "nOt
good" at the same time pointing to q
stipulation on the ticket, which said that
in consideration of the reduced rate the
company would only accept the ticket
for Zone continuous journey"
The weary man looked inquiringly
into the glare of the conductors lantern
and said "Waal?".
"You stopped over at the last sta
tion," explained the conductor, "and
so you are not making zone continuous

show do you know ain't?" YEARLY
asked the passenger.
"Because this train hasn't been on the
other branch at all, said the conductor,
showing signs of Impotence.
"What has this train to do with my
continuous journeyP" questioned the
man, also getting impatient.
As though prOpouIding question
that would put stop to further talk.
the conductor asked: swell, how could
you make continuous journey on this
train from a place this train doesn't 60
to at alp" adding that the rules of the
company were peremptory and must be
enforced.

replied the weary man. evidently much
disguised. al footed it all the way
to the junction, after l found the last
train had gone, and got here just in
time to hang on to this train as it was
starting, and il that amt q continuous
