Mammals WHY'S.

Myo, why is it little boys
Can never walk down stairs,
But sliding down the railing 80
Necessitate repairs2
Why will they walk upon their knees
And make such dreadful holes?
Why do their hands so often look
AS if they shoveled Goals?
Why are their pockets full Of nails
And stones and iron rings2
Why is it their delight to see
The chairs festoonei with s!rings?
Why are their faces seldom clean2
Their clothes oft stained with dirt 2
And can you tell me why it is
That kisses cure hurt2
Why are small hands so mischievous,
Touching forbidden things;
Turning the hands in papa's watch,
Or wearing mammals rings2
Playing with matches or with fire,
Or picking at the PIE,
Or hiding grandpa's spectacles
In some snug place 50 sly2
And why can't little boys stand still?
Why will they chase the cat2
Why do they never shut the door,
Or hang up coat or hat ?
Why is it when mamma is ill
They make unusual noise?
And why, in spite of naughty tricks,
Mammals love little boys?

WHAT II COSTS 10 GOVERN Is.

NHAI il COSJS 10 GOVERN Us.
A Washington special of the Sth says:
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, Chair
man of the special committee of the
senate appointed on his motion last
winter to investigate the ancient charges
Of irreguiarity in the bookkeeping Of
the Treasury Department, has called
upon Treasurer GiIfillan for a statement
of the receipts and expenditures
Of the United States Gov
erEment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1860, to and including the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1877. When he
has procured these, Senator Davis will
call upon Major Power, chief of the
Warrant division of the .secretary's
office, register Schofeld. and comp
trollers Porter and Upton, for similar
statements, and then he will set his ex-
perts at the work of making compari-
sons and detecting differences.
The statement called for from
treasurer GilflIan is about pre-
pared, and presents old, familiar
figures in new form. 1t will show
the income Of the government for the
eighteen years named, and whence it
was derived. It will also show the ex-
pense of sustaining the government for
the years named, and for what the
money was spent. There is always
something bewildering to the ordinary
mind, in wide columns of figures, but
the following are exceedingly inn
portant.
The following table will show what it
has cost to run the government, pre-
senting the gross receipts and gross ex-
penditures for each Of the years named:

belongs to one of the oldest and most
respectable families, but he was a way
ward youth, and got away with his share
of the estate early in life. Then with
commendable pluck he got on the force,
Strengthened up, and has been faithful
and temperate man ever since. As
often as he drew his pay he went to a
certain bank and deposited whatever
he could save. He continued this fru-
gal way of living until he had saved

the solid institutions of the Chicago of
the West went down, and the "bosses''
OF the Institution were "regretting" in
tears to their penniless depositors, Long
John walked up to the President and
said to him: Look here, when was a
wild boy you used to talk to me about
saving money. You told me to follow
your example. When [ run through
my part of the estate you got me on the
police force. You told me to put what
money [ could in the bank. [ did it.
| worked hard as niger and saved all
L could. Now l am as poor as when [
commenced. And you have nothing
to pay me. [ want my money"
The great bankrupt banker placed his
hands on Long Johns shoulders and
spoke to him sadly: My boy, this is a
great tribulation. [ have lost every
thing and | cannot''-
Long John took the hand of the bank
er from his shoulder and said: 81 don't
want any crocodile tears from you.
Every cent [ put into your hand |
worked for like a niger, and you know
it. [ would sooner be dead than lose it.
Now, if you don't pay me that money /
will blow your brains out on the spot."
And he placed revolver against the
bankers head
In ten minutes Long John had his
500 and the great penniless banker was
begging him not to give it away lest the
example might be repeated. 1t viii do

TIE Austrian campaign in Bosnia,

likely to be Of interest to artillerymell.
since it affords an opportunity for test
ing in actual field service the Uchatius
bronze gun. OF late bronze has given
place to steel, because Of the great ten
doncy OF the gun to " drop at the muz-
lie when heated from rapid firing.
The Austrian guns are made of steel
bronze, which Is bronze hardened both
by casting it in a chill and by compress
SION, the alloy being known under the
name Of Uchatius metal. It's precise
compOnents no one but the inventor.
Gen. Uchatius, knows, and he has sent
specimens of it to the various European
arsenals for examination and analysis,
without any one being able to detect his
secret. The gun in severe trials has
stood all tests; it is light and only costs
one-third of the steel piece, and if it
proves successful when tried in the
field it is likely to bring about an inn
portant revolution in field artillery.

has arrived at Toulon. This is the first
time that japanese war vessel has Wis

ABOUT Victor Hugo's rumorcd i"san-
lily The Paris correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Telegraph writes: Some color
is given TO the report by two circum-
stanccs-onc being the fact that the
friends Of the poet, instead of taking
him to some quiet nook within a few
hours journey, a course Of proceeding
which would have been the most nat
uraI change Of air, chose to carry him
on to Guernsey, where certainly he is
wei out Of the way Of everybody The
other bit Of corroborated evidence is
the painful fact that insanity IS unfort-
mately the baneful inheritance Of the
Hugo family. One Of the poets broth
ers, As IS we'll known, died insane, and
another less-known fact is that one Of
Victor Hugo's children, a daughter,
sJi5l survives, 4 hopeless maniac, in the
seelusion ofa lanatic asylum.

An Infant Has Its Arm Bitten of by an
alligator.
From the Tallahassee FIoridian.

From the Tallahassee Floridian.
Mr.. Philbrick, among many other
living curiosities, possesses an alligator
about half grown and an infant which
is old enough to crawl and 90 about the
yard unattended A strange attach
ment existed between the alligator and
the infant, the former being so docile
that the friends frequently spent hours
during the day in playing with each
other. The alligator would amble
clumsily to his tank, take sportive dive
and returning he would embrace the
little one, SO to speak, and give unmis-
taxable evidence of delight in receiving
tender caresseS in return. So secure
seemed the friendship between them
that Mr.. Philbrick never thought OF
harm, and left the playmates to them
selves to pass the time as suited their
inclination. The friendly relations did
not last long, however, for Mr.. Phil
brick was startled about 10 o'clock on
Wednesday last, by agonizing screams
coming from the back yard, and rush
ing out he found to his horror that the
alligator had bitten the little fellows
arm almost entirely off, the fraction of
limb dangling by a slender bit of cuti-
Gle. The poor suffering little thing
moaned and wept bitterly, and the ALI
gator seeing the distress he had caused
crawled up to his victim and shed copi-
Gus tears of sympathy, his expression
less countenance giving him the appear
ance of subdued and sentimental ass
Mr.. Philbrick severed the lacerated
member, dressed the stub carefully, and
the animal is now able to waddle about
on three legs. We have often heard cf
crocodile tears" but until Mr.. Phil
bricks statement our faith in their ex-
istence could have been easily shaken.
