On the Amazon.

ERNEST MORRIS, the young American
naturalist, lectured on the above subject
before the Long Island Historical Society.
He espoke particularly about the tribe of
Mandruca Indians who inhabit village
on the Tapajos river, the stream which
remaining among its solitudes for four
teen months. On his last visit he arrived
at the village of the Mandrucas late in the
evening, Just when they we're all assem-
bled in great, palm m-thatched shed to eel
ebrate an important festival. He was well
coined by the chief, given good deal of
monkey stew, and later was provided with
hammock to sleep in. The. festival was
kept up nearly the whole night, but by
eleven o'clock nearly all the Indians had
become intoxicated on caxaca, a kind of
rum. The music for the dancers was fur
nished by an orchestra of four, one play
ing a rude sort of drum, one fddling on a
stick cut full of notches and the other
two twanging away on old guitars.
All the interesting specimens which
Mr.. Morris brought home he was obliged
to steal. he could have bought boy OF
a girl for a knife or coat, but such q
thing as an old skull, an old piece Of
pottery, an arrow or little poison such
as they use to tip the ends of thei,
weapons with, could not be bought fo1
love or money. The manners and Gus
toms of the natives he would not attempt
to describe, except to say, in the Ian
guage of missionary to the South Ses
Islands: ssThey had no manners and
their customs were simply disgusting.
The women performed all the drudgery
while the lazy lords sslaid off, ant
smoked bad tobacco. The greater par
Of the work done by women was tn,
making of rubber out of the juice of trees
Crops of corn and fruits grew of them
selves, and the only work to supply tn
table was to catch few fish now AM
then when the ''lords" .craved a littl
change of diet. Mr.. Morris discovered
one peculiar tribe of Indians who coult
never indulge in a little caxaca withou
its making them begin right ava.
to cry, and they always crie'
and sobbed while the effect Q
the spirits remained. The popular ide
that the forests ofBrazil abounded in will
animals, richly plumaged birds and eno1
nous reptiles was great mistake. Du
ring his four years Of roaming about tn
forests he had come across not more tina
half dozen snakes. They were big one

Time Enough to Beller.

One day Billy, that's my brother, he
and Sammy Doppy was playin' by mud
hole, and Billy he said:
|, "Now, Sammy, les play we was barn
yard; you be the pig, and lie down and
woller, and I'll be bull, and beller like
every thing"
So they got down on their hands and
knees, and Sammy he went in the dirt
and wollered, while Billy bellered like
distant thunder. Bimeby Sammy he
cum out muddy-you never see such
muddy little fellow-and he said:
"Now you'll be the pig, and let me
beller.'
But Billy he said:
II amt very good pig except for din

Hair in the Tongue.

Joseph Lepp, Swiss confectioner liv-
ing in New York, is troubled with
strange malady. His disease is techni-
cally termed dermoid cyst of the tongue.
Lepp is a tall young man, with dark
complexion, slight build, of good ad-
dress and appearance He speaks
French, his native language, f1uently;
some German and little English. He
says Of himself: Cup to last December
I had no idea that there was anything
wrong with my tongue. My use Of it
was perfect in every way, and my sens G
Of taste was as good as others. There
was no apparent difference between my
tongue and that Of another person. But
in December last, without any cause, so
far as I know, my tongue began to swell
and became very painful. At the Ger
man dispensary IN Eighth street, where
I went for treatment, the doctors cut it,
and it discharged freely. At first the
doctors did not notice anything unusual.
After little time there was a
quantity OF hair discharged every day
from the opening in the tongue. Sew
eral hundred hairs have been discharged
They are Of all colors-white, black, red,
brown. They are of various lengths,
from half an inch to two or three inches
some straight, some curled. Sometimes
mass or small lock of nair would be
taken out. It seemed as if the tongue
was filled with hair inside. AS soon as
it heals up it commences to swell and
pain me very much. Then it has to be
cut again; after discharge of hair, etc.
it will heal quickly, but has to be Gu,
again. It has been opened eleven times
now. It has been troubling me again
and shall have to submit to another
operation in day or two" Lepp per
mitted the reporter to see his tongue. L
was considerably larger than the norma
size of that organ. ltwas not discolored
but resembled ball of flesh, the shape
of it causing him to speak and articulat.
in that maner peculiar to persons wht
have no palate.
| A doctor told reporter that during
the time Lepp was under treatment il
the hospital he saw him frequently
There was question in his mind as tt
the time of this growth of hair found ii
Lepp's tongue. There was no mistake
about the hair being genuine, for one 0
the doctors subjected it to MICROSCOPE
test. It was growth of real hair. A
to the date of growth he was not willin.
to say that the hair might not hav
grown recently. There might have beel
hair follicies, or roots, in dormant stat
within the mans tongue which nov
from some exciting cause produced
growth Of hair. At any rate, it seem
hardly possible that the hair remained
inclosed within the tongue so many year
without growing. The case was unique
He had never heard or read in the book
of a case precisely identical with thi
one.

DOMESTIC GREETING.

AS homeward comes the married man,
He's met by wife at door,
With fond embrace and loving kiss
And-"Baby's throat is sore!
aAnd did you think to stop at Browns
And get that marabout
ordered yesterday?-and, dear,
Freds boots are all Worn out!
'Tm glad you are so early, John,
So much I miss you, dear
I've had letter from mamma:
Sne's coming to live here.
'How very glad you look, dear John,
knew that you would be
The tlour's out, John, the butter, and
You must send home some tea.
"That plumber has been here again;
Ifyou don't pay he'll sue; j
And Mr.. Pendergast called in
To say your rent was due. -
"Fred's trousers are half cotton, John,
You thought they were all wool
Oh, that reminds that your son
Was whipped to-day at school.
"Thc roof has leaked and spoiled the rugs
Upon the upper hall;
And Jane must 80, the careless thing!
She let the mifror fall
To-day, as the was moyingit
(The largest one, dear john;
OF course it broke; it also broke
The lamp it fell upon.
"What makes you look SO grave, my love?
Take off your things and wipe
Your feet-and and only think, to-day
Jane broke your meerschaum pipe.
ooh, John that horrid, horrid word!
You do not love me, dear;
Iwish that I-boo- -hoo-werc dead

A SPRING POEM SPRUNG.
The COW gambols over the green,

The COW gambols over the green,
And the turnips sprout in the soil;
While out steps the buckwheat cake,
And in steps the red rosy boil.
The awnings are yawning above us,
The whitewasher laugheth in glee;
And the ladies are bobbing around
To see what new styles they can see.
April bills are just ready to blossom,
The conductor hovers around;
While the merchant stirs up his trade,
And the farmer likewise the ground.
The bees are beginning to humble,
The haw-tree gives out haw-haw;
The beer trade Commences to brighten,
And the freeiluncher getteth his slaw.
Then soon will the hard-organ grind
"Gentle Annie" and "Grandfathcrs Clock"
And the festive cat will yell on the fence
Also auctioneers selling old stock.
But with all these joys there are sorrows,
And the worst, we desire you to know it,
Is the budding of that incomprehensible thin
That is known as the gentle spring poet.

"Well, 60 up there on the porch; ! will
let you in at the other window"
In short time the strange woman
stood before Violet in the cozy little par
lor. Her visitor was no tramp, that Vio-
let saw at glance. She was slight in
figure, with a comely face, and dark
brown hair; she had on black bonnet
with the veil thrown back, black and
white plaid shawl, ana a neat black ala
paca dress She stood some moments
with her eyes bent upon the carpet; at
length Violet spoke:
''If you are cold, go to the fire."
"No, thank you, 1 am not cold; l was
thinking how I should commence" re-
piled the woman, as she brushed hel
gloved hand across her eyes.
There was another pause. Violet saw
there was struggle going on within the
poor thing standing before her. Her heart
was touched. She gently pushed chai1
up to her visitor.
"Sit down." she whispered softly, 'you
will feel better so.' ...-
The poor girl-she was nothing more
sank down, and suddenly burst into s
torrent of tears, and rocked her body
wildly to and fro.

up wildly, but Vio,et put her back in he1

taking seat upon the sofa opposite.
