A solid North.
!GlObo.DemOcrat.1 ]


MIR. Thos. A. Hendricks, as he grows older
is developing an increasing facility for max
ing an ass of himself in public. In q recent
speech he declared that the demand for a
solid North was rank treason. He paid q
very poor compliment to the intelligence of
his hearers in taking it for granted that they
did not know that the cry for solid North
only was not an original proposition at all, but
a responsive echo to theory for q solid South
which he and his Democratic friends have
been uttering for more than two years. #
there is treason in the demand for . solid
North, why is there not treason In the de-
mand for solid South? The solid North
never was talked about until the sclid South
had become an accomplished and portentous
fact, threatening the peace of the whole
country and bringing before every patriotic
mind the bloody scenes of 1865.

An officer of Philadelphia steamship
company relates the following story: Il
was on a ship once going to Rio, when they
dragged out stowaway and put him to work.
One day he came to me, and, being man of
fine address and education, had no difficulty
in convincing me that he was making his es-
cape from q German literary institution,
where he had witnessed as second fatal
duel. He said he had money, and showed
me several hundred pounds in notes of the
Bank of England. He was willing to be con-
sidered stowaway in order that his name
should not appear in the cabin list. Could |
help him to get out of the ship at Rio? |
readily promised, and gave him for ESQ in
Bank of England notes Mexican dollars and
doubloons. He got out of the ship all right
at Rio, and carried my notes back to Eng
land, where found on attempting to deposit
them in bank, that they were base counter
feits, and that my intellectual stowaway was
an escaped burglar and forger, and that had
become his victim"

A Remark able Crime.
[ baskerville, N. C. Telegram, 29th ult.

BASKERVILLE N. G. Telegram, 2sth ut.
One of the most remarkable trials on re-
cord was concluded in the superior court OF
this county to-day. The accused, William
Lydia, was arrested several months since
charged jointly with another man with the
castration of Charles Morris, a man of 81
years, of respectable connections. Morris
and the accused had been paying attention to
the same lady but few months prior to the
occurrence for which the accused was tried.
His riva! had got the better of him in the
affections of the young lady, and they be-
came engaged to be married. Upon being
informed of this state of things Lydia became
terribly enraged. A few weeks later he met
Morris in the woods, and, with the assistance
of companion, threw him down by tree,
to the trunk of which he boInd him. Lydia
took his knife and coolly proceeded to unsex
him. Whether this was done to prevent
Morris marriage with young lady of their
joint affections is not, of course, known.
Lydia was convicted and sentenced to sixty
years in State Prison.

Helena, Montana, Thursday, October %, 1879.

present monthly output is estimated by bank
ers in Helena at 1000, and developments
has as yet only begun. What the district
needs most is capital and intelligent expen-
diture of it. Almost all of the mines in
which promising discoveries have been made
are owned by men who have no money and
no influential friends through whom they can
obtain it. They are obliged, therefore, to
work one-half or two-thirds of the time for
wages in order to get money enough to buy
provisions to last them during the remainder
of the time while they are at work ip their
own tunnel or shaft. AT this rate it takes
years to open mind and make it productive.

Who was the bad Roy?

Little Annie was prettily dressed and stand
ing in front of the house waiting for her
mother to 60 to ride.
A tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little girl said:
Come here, boy, and sake hands with
me, dot boy dus like you Damed Bobby"
The boy laughed, shook hands with her
and said:
i've got little girl just like you, only
she hasn't got little cloak with pussy fur on
Here woman came out of the door and
said
''Annie you must not talk with bad boys
on the street; hope you haven't taken any
thing from her? Go away, and never stop
here again, boy"
That evening lady was called down to
speak to boy in the hall He was very
neatly dressed and stood with his cap in his
hand. 1t was the enemy of the morning.
81 came to tell you that was not bad
boy" he said: II 60 to Sunday school and
help my mother all l can. never tell lies,
nor quarrel, nor say bad words, and l don't
like a lady to call me names and ask me if
I've stolen her little girls clothing from her."
"rm very glad you are so good" said the
lady, laughing at the boys earnestness.
Here is quarter of dollar for you"
81 don't want that" said Bob, holding his
head very high. 'My father works in
foundry and has lots of money. You have
got bigger boy than me, haven't your"
''Yes, why?"
''Does he know the commandment
'Im afraid not very WE'LL"
"Can he say the Sermon on the Mount and
the Twenty-third Psalm and the Golden
Rule ?"
''Im very much afraid he cannot" said
the lady, laughing at the boys bravery.
"Does he ride his pony on Sunday instead
of going to church,"
II am afraid he does, but he ought not,
said the lady, blushing little.
"Mother don't know l came here" said
the bright little rogue, ''but thought l would
just come around and see what kind of folks
you were, and guess mother would rather
your boy would not come around our door,
because she don't like Mamie to talk to bad
boys in the street. Good evening!' and the
boy was gone.

NOBODY'S CAT.

He comes again, that sneaking scamp;
That vile, disreputable tramp;
That yellow cat, with one eye out
And minus half his tail-the lOut;
His scanty hair torn out in fight
A wretch fOrlorn, a scanty sight.
mind me well not long ago
He paced these fields flu fledged beau,
His whiske red head, his dainty paw,
His glossy coat without a flaw,
His well curled tail, his high bred stare
Proclaimed him favored of the fair.
All, then, his food was creamy milk,
His be! lounge of down and silk;
A darling mistress sought his veal,
No grief her petted puss might feel.
BY night, by day, he went his ways,
Well surfeited with love and praise.
But now, you beast, you wretched wight,
BegOne from decent peoples sight.
Go steal from swine your mOldy bit,
Make haste my premises to quit,
Or else be peltcd well with stones.
There. now, jog on, old crazy bones.
But what is this that dims my eyes?
What st rrings of my eOul arise?
There's something human in your look,
A something that cannot brook.
That boy Of mine in foreign lands,
Afar from reach of loving hands.
Toled on by Fortunes tickle beams,
Only to zee their fading CLEANS;
(FOr some get wealth and some get pain,
And some get want and Others gain,)
In life's harl race, oh! what if he
A friendless, homeless wand rer be!
Come back, Grimalkin, wretched thief,
For all your pains now here's relief;
A kindly hand TO stroke your fur,
A bed where you may dream and purr,
No more on winter nights to roam,
For here are friends and here home.

A Vermont Parrots AcQUirements

Among the many interesting accounts OF
smart, educated parrots, allow me to tell you
of a bird that is an honor and an ornament to
the State of Vermont. She is the most prom
inent member in the household of Oscar Dix,
of Dummerston. AS far as beauty is con-
cerned, neither she nor l have anything to say.
A strange, unfortunate habit which she has
of pulling out her own feathers gives her the
appearance of having come off defeated from
some hen fight. Her remaining plumage is
of the usual parrot green, but in this case It
is not emblematic of their intelligent posses
sor. The charm of her talking lies in her
clear, distinct enunciation, and the veriest
stranger could understand what she says.
She sings several songs, ''Shoo Fly, Little
Brown Jug" both sings and whistles the TIME
of yankee Doodle" and executes with great
spirit the old-time ''round":
scotland's burning!
Scotand's burning!
Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
Cast on water.
She is great imitator, cackles like FIRST
class hen, news as well as the kittens them
selves. She greets visitors with ''Hullo how
do you do p and says ''Good-by" when they
leave. Her funniest exclamation is 'There!
I've just found out" and she usually ends the
expression with burst of laughter. A rap
on the cage will bring out the welcome 'Come
in!" She asks the question, ''Is it cold out
there today" and then remarks, "Polly's
cold out here!" She will sob and cry in the
most heart-broken way, and calls the follow
ing names: "Uncle Oscar, Aunt Marcia,
Bert, Nellie, Lou, Georgia, Lena, Charlie. /"
She can sing up the ''scale" with the words,
"Pol-ly- -pret-tybird !" "a syllable for each
notc.) She counts, occasionally missing q
number, and says, "Polly wants her dinner,
now!" ''Polly wants her breakfast" "Polly
wants toast, ''cake," or ''apple," as she hap.
pens to think. When she is very desirous OF
obtaining anything. she praises herself by
saying. s'Sweet, pretty Polly!" in teasing:
affectionate way. She calls the cows. BOSS
boss boss !" as distinctly and loudly as any
New England farmer. When she climbs up
on her perch in the evening she calls out,
"Good night" a number of times. Shenever
says this in the day time. ~aif f, 4t.az

THE daughter of John Lather, of Dorsey
County, Ark, suddenly lost her voice and
hearing when she was q little girl, some fif-
teen years ago. One night lately, MI. Lather
was passing his daughters room when he
heard voice. With his wife, he crept in
noiselessly. and they found her talking in her
sleep. But when she awoke she was dumb
again. Since then she has again been heard
to talk in her sleep. A deaf and dumb lover
of the girl was much distressed on learning
that she could talk.

A young lawyer of Boston says that per-
sons seeking solitude, where they can CON-
mune with their own thoughts uninterrupt-

quiet as the grave.
Mrs. Smith of New York, according to the
Herald, stole wash. tub to keep her children
from starving. A family that can dine salts
factoriy off a wash-tub must be reduced to
the very lowest extremity.
''What does 12mo mean ?' asked pupil
of her teacher. "12mo; why, don't you
know what that means? 1t means the same
