ears when enraged. The elephant,
which fights with Its tusks, does not re-
tract Its ears, but on the contrary erects
them when rushing on an enemy. The
connection between biting ~ means OF
warfare, and laying back the cans a. 9

sciOus that the ear Is weak point of
attack, lay It back upon the head to keep
It out of the way. This habit being

generations, has become 20 associated
with the feeling attendant upon warfare,

A Pretty NtOrI.

An aged couple in Midway, Mass,
had merry Thanksgiving. At the out
break Of the war their only son ran away
to sea, and served under Farragut at
New Orleans and with Gushing in the
Albemarle exploit. Here all trace of
the sailor was lost, and it was supposed
that he was drowned in the river when
the torpedo exploded. His sister died q
few years ago, and his parents have been
living In retirement and poverty. Late
on Wednesday night q man with scar
on his face knocked at the door and re-
quested q lodging. He was admitted
by the old lady, who asked her aged hus.
band to entertain the stranger while she
was making q cup of tea for him. The
stranger kept his hat on, and the old lady
noticed that bis eyes followed her every
movement. To the old man he repre-
sented that he had formerly lived in the
neighborhood. When asked his name
he gave an evasive answer, but asked If
James Merrisk lived there yet. 81 ana
James Merrisk," answered the old man.
The old lady had been watching the
stranger closely. Before he could utter
another word she stepped quickly to his
side, lifted the hat from his head, gazed
a moment into his face, and sank into
his arms outstretched to receive her,
loudly screaming, "Jim! our Jiml"
Yes, your Jim; came home for Thanks.
giving" exclaimed the stranger, a. he
kissed the aged face, whose frame was
trembling with gratitude. After while
he related the eventful history of his
wanderings. He had been severly woun.
ded by the explosion of the torpedo, as
the scar on his face testified. he was
pulled from the river by one of the boats
which came to the relief of the crew of
the Albemarle. He lost his senses by
the conclusion and wound, but after
the latter healed he was permitted to 90
at large as harmless, knowing nothing of
himself, not even his name. Finally he
fell into the employ of former surgeon
of the rebel army, and with him went
into plantation outside of Raleigh, N.
G. One day however, the surgeon ex.
amined his wound, and determined to
try an experiment. He opened the
wound in the head, and found the skull
fractured and pressing into the brain
! With the aid of another surgeon the
skull was lifted or trepanned, and the
wound again closed gradually. Mer

some butter was sold at low prices. 1t
said Light colored goods are very hard
to dispose of and several lots were
thought well sold at 8 to 10 cents. II
butter makers would get the top price,
they should use the Perfected Butter

The SIeening Sentinel.

To President Lincoln and large COM
pany at the white house Mr.. Murdoch,
the tragedian, once read Jsnvier's poem
of the "Sleeping Sentinel"-a poem
written in memory of Mr.. Lincoln's
clemency in psrdoniDg a young Yer
mont volunteer at the very moment
when he had been led out to be shot for
sleeping at his post. Before the reading
Mr.. Murdoch privately pointed out to
Mr.. Janvier that the president had rid
den in saddle to the place of execution,
and that there was therefore no sound
of rolling wheels as described in the
poem. Mr.. Jsnvier thought it matter
of trifling consequence, and the reading
went on. At the end Mr.. Lincoln and
many others were in tears. The presi-
dent, wiping the drops from bis cheeks,
said hastily, in q smothered voice:

The Danes are beginning to manifest
uneasiness as to the fate which awaits
their country. They anticipate being
sliced up at no distant date for the i'm
mediate benefit of Prussia and Sweden.
As Denmark can no longer defend the
communications between Jutlsnd,and the
islands by the superiority of her Aeet, as
was tie case during the former wars
with Germany, 1t has been decided on
principle not TO defend Jutland and the
island of Fuhnen, but TO concentrate the
whole defense of the country on the
island of zealand, where the greater
part of the RESOURCES of the nation are
centred. The population Of Copenhagen
are said to be profoundly Impressed With
the conviction that, ut the first given
opportunity, Prussia intends to occupy
Denmark, keeping as her share of the
spoil the peninsula of Jutl&nd and the
island of Fuhnen, while Sealand and the
surrounding islands are to revert to
Sweden. This would be taRtemount to
the final division of Denmark, bogus In
1915 by uniting Norway to Sweden, and
followed up in 1864 by the occupation
of the ducbies Of Schleswig Holstein and
Lsuenberg by Prussia.

Regenerated France.

Troy On, " Budget
The economy of the present repub-
liean form of government as compared
with the old absolute monarchy of
France which went down with the rev.
olution is rather marked. The house
hold of Louis NV, XIV and XVI were
something marvellous in extravaganza.
Eighteen hundred horses were Kept in
the monarch's private stable. 1t took
seventy-tiye priests to take care of his
soul, and forty. eight to do the same
for his body. One hundred and
twenty-e eight musicians soothed his
regal spirit, forty-three Librarians
looked after his books, and probably
did his reading for him, while the
table service required three hundred
and eighty-three attendants. The wine
bill alone cost $780, 900. The total of
his majesty's service was nearly four
hundred persons; besides his military
household numbered nine to ten thou
sand. The new president gets $780,
600, and $4,000 for household ex.
penses, No wonder the hard times
following the downfall of the last
rotten monarchy prepared the French
people for the present economical anC
enlightened government.
