The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-11-14

Among the many curious anecdotes
which Whitelock relates respecting Crom-
well, the following is not one of the least
characteristic: Oliver, it was well known,
appeared to favor the frantics of that day,
but lie did not like to be taken liberties
with. "There was" says Whitelock, "a
secret expedition about to sail, and one of
those fanatic preachers waited upon Oliver
and wished an audience, which was
granted, and when before Oliver he stated
that the Lord wished to know where
the secret expedition was going. Oliver
said:-
"'The Lord shall know, and thee shall
go with it; and he rang the bell, aud Or.
dered him on board the feet"
Being afraid of cabals from the expelled
family, he thought it dangerous to permit
persons, particularly noblemen, to leave
the kingdom without leave. A young
nobleman in the interest of Charles II.
came to pay his respects to the protector,
and solicit leave of absence from the
country. Cromwell Immediately granted
the request, but said-
"Well, let me see you soon again, but
don't see Charles Stuart"
II will not, upon my honor" promptly
replied the peer.
The nobleman soon returned, and com
ing to pay his duty to the protector, Crom-
we'll snatched his hat out of his hands, and
with penknife lie cut open the lining
and from the inside took out several letters
and papers directed to the friends Of
Charles Stuart.
"Oh, shame" cried Oliver; 'is this the
way the English mobiles keep theil
honor ?"
II did not see him." quickly answered
the nobleman.
"Then, said Cromwell, "who put ou
the candle, you or Charles?'
Oliver had eunniugly eontrived to put
spy of his own into the peers service, wilt
discovered that at the interview the kim
first put out the lights.

A BOY WITH THREE EYES.

A correspondent writing from Bremen,
Ohio, says: "Quite wonder has lately
made its appearance about eight miles
north OF New Bremen, in the shape of q
fine boy with three eyes and but one ear.
The parents are young couple who came
here to reside from the eastern portion OF
Anglaize county, about ten months ago,
aud have been married little more than
that time. The child is about two weeks
old. The parents were astonished to find
on the right side of the face an eye and an
ear in their proper places, and about an
inch further round on the left side of the
head third eye, perfect in form, but no
ear where the ear ought to be, the place
for the left ear being perfectly smooth and
solid rs any ott er part of head. The bog
is healthy, sound, and bright as baby can
be. The eyes are perfect in sight and &C.
ton. When the eye on the left side of the
face opens and shuts, its twin does the
same, both seeming to be controlled and
operated by the one set of nerves.

AN UNCONSCIOUS THEFT.

An Oakland, CAL, paper says: An
exciting episode broke the Monotonous
serenity of Broadway recently. A be.
witching lady with the usual raven tresses,
sparkling eyes, ruby lips, etc., was seen
rushing frantically down Broadway as the
butt end of the city train was disappearing
around the corner. Those who saw her
graceful fight females are proverbially
graceful when they gallop-surmised that
she was some doting mother who had just
remembered that she had left tile baby at
home in Frisco, with a gross of matches to
suck, while she went to the swimming
baths.
As she tripped past shopkeeper, who
was calmly rejecting at his doorway upon
the Chinese question, she gave her
umbrella Airt, and in an instant his
Nardin watch was snatched out of his
pocket on the rib of her parasol and away
she sped with the booty. The chase that
ensued for about one hundred feet sur
passed Molly McCarty's best time. When
the now maniacal Shopheeper was about to
Yell fire" the painting lady realized that
she WAS attracting considerable attention
and came to halt.
Then ensued search for the watch.
Part of it dropped out of the umbrella, a
few cog wheels and things were hanging to
the fringe of her dolman, and the residue
was scattered along her track in the most
careless manner. The inartistic method
with which the lady failed to nip the ticker,
satisfied every one that instead of being a
beautiful pickpocket from the East, she
was an estimable lady, who WAS willing to
appease the shopkeeper by purchasing O
new timepiece. regardless of expense.

COIkNElsED AT LAST.

His wife had probably been arguing and
coaxng for years, for he looked like man
whose spirit had been worn out before he
had consented to have his. photograph
taken. He halted at the door Of u gallery
rs if trying to invent some excuse, but she
pushed him up stairs and he was in for it
at last. He hoped the photographer would
be crowded with work, but lie wasn't. He
hoped the camera was out of order, but it
was in prime condition.
Cant take me to-day; can your" he
queried.
"Ohl yes-take you right away was
the reply.
"Have got to sit up straight ?"
"No; sit as you please"
"Haint these clothes too light "
"Fot Bit"

"Very well-Ill take you in two"
There was no way to get rid of ii, and
with d. spairing look around and a frown
at his wife the old chap dropped into a
chair with sigh, shut his eyes, crossed his
legs, and groaned out:

northern Mascara country, Is grand sight,
and one never to be forgotten. The nstur.
Rlist aud the sportsmen can here see sights
that will astonish them, and cause them to
marvel at the wonderful instincts possessed
by the animal kingdom. That the Creator
has ordered all things well, we know, but
the minute details to which they have
been reduced is seldom noted except by
those who live not the life of the busy
trading world, but such as wander into
those portions of the earth undisturbed by
the presence of man.
At such watering places the small ante
lopes invariably drink first, the larger later
on, and with them the zebras and bufa-
loes. After these come the giraffes, close
ly followed by rhinoceros, and next the
elephant, which never attempts to hide his
hpproach-consciou of lis strength-but
trumpets forth warning to all whom it
may concern that he is about to satisfy his
thirst.
The only animal that does not give
place to the elephant is the rhinoceros;
obstinate, headstrong and pig-like, he
may not court danger, but assuredly he
does not avoid it, The elephant may
drink by his side, but lie must not inter-
fere with him, for he is quick to resent an
insult, and am assured that when one
of these battles takes place the rhinoceros
is invariably the victor. The elephant il
large, of gigantic power, but the other far
more active, while the formidable horn
that terminates his nose is q dreadful
weapon when used with the force that he
has the power to apply to it.
I have been told on trustworthy authori-
ty that a rhinoceros, in one of those blind
fits of fury to which they are so subject,
attacked large wagon, inserted his horn
between the spokes OF the wheel, and in
stantly overturned 1t, scattering the con-
tents far and wide, and afterwad injur-
ing it to such an extent as to render it
useless.
The lion is not tied to time in drinking.
After it feeds it comes to water, but it
would never dare to interfere with the
rLinoceros OF elephant. Where the buffalo
exists in numbers it is the principal prey of
the lion; in other localities antelope and
chiefly zebra are its food. A strange cir
cumstsnce connected with the lion is, that
it is almost impossible to tell where he is
when you hear his voice. When roar
ing loudly he places his head to the
ground, gradually raising it as lie dimin-
ishes the power of his voice. Although
lcannot say that recognize anything ter
rible in the lions voice, many other peo-
pie do, and have been in the company of
persons who become completely demoral-
lied while it lasted. That this ami
malls voice makes the earth vibrate is a
fact.
