"OH, IT WAS THE MocK1Ne
BIRD" Most young ladies have a
great fondness for birds as ''pets,"
and the possession Of a mocking
bird or canary is highly priced by
them. This is the case with a
young lady residing on Jones
street, who has a fine mocking bird
that can chirp and whistle to per-
fection; but, unlike many others
this young lady persists in having
the cage, containing her pet, hung
in the parlor instead Of in her
"boudoir," as is generally the case.
No particular reason was assigned
for this fancy, other than that she
liked to hear the chirping of her
pet, whilst discussing 'ritualism"
with the nice young man, with
lavender pants, who is frequently
seen meandering in the direction
of her house after twilight.
The other evening the cavalier
ca.ied, and was ushered into the
parlor where was seated the fair
one, looking more lovely than
ever in the faint starlight (the
gas not being lighted), and they
were soon in earnest conversation.
Shortly afterwards some member
of the family passing the half
| opened door, heard peculia:
sound, and, pausing to listen, was
impressed with the conviction that
the sound striAingly resembled an
osculatory collision, and looking
into the room, inquired what that
chirping noise meant. The young
lady, hastily moving slightly from
the proximity Of her attendant,
replied: "Oh, that's my mock
ing bird chirping." This expla,
nation was, however, only par.
TALLY satisfactory to the lnqul-
rer, and when shortly after
wards the lights had been brought
in, and it was discovered that the
cage had been removed to anoth-
er apartment to supply with wa
ter, etc., for "birdy," and had not
beer brought back, blank dismay
was pictured on the faces Of the
couple who had striven to put OH
their "chirpiag" on poor "birdy."
It may be observed that the chlrp-
ing Of mocking bird is very sim
liar in sound to that produced oy
"paroxymal" kiss.

gsIsetsn Story.
WHEN FHK SHIP COMES IN,

A sweet-faced woman and a
sweetfaced child are wandering
among the shipping docks Of the
great city. The woman is plainly
dressed, but evidently in her best
attire, and there is touch of gen.
tiIity in her fnery, in the real
lace collar, relic of better days,
perhaps, the pearl earrings and
the neat gloves. The child is neat
ly dressed, too, and, as she clasps
the woman's hand, looks love at
her guardian. But the woman's
face is not at it's best now; there
is an soguished expression upon
it, caroworn look, and faint
wrinkle upon the pale forehead
that ages her and lessons the
charm Of her features.
She is inquiring Of the dock
men, of the stevedores, Of the
loungers about the wharves, ,wheth-
er the brig Good Luck has come
in. She always receives the same
reply to her eager question, and
that reply is, that the brig GOOD
Luck has been lost a month ago,
dashed on a lee shore, and ground
to pieces by the sea, and will nev-
or come in-never-never more.
If ttey told her, she wouldn't
believe them, for the woman and
her child have supreme faith
feel as sure as God rules that the
brig Good Luck will come in soon
with cargo and crew, though they
have been asking the same ques-
tion and same prayer for many
and many a day.
Then she goes across the street
and winds her way among the
bales and boxes and passing carts,
and through al! the hubbub and
hustle of the wharf, and climbs a
fight Of stairs to where the brig
owners have their Office. They
are used to seeing her. They
smile sadly when she enters with
the child, and look significantly
at one another, as much as to
say: Poor thing! she's mad. No
wonder, no wonder!'
Mad! Yes, she is mad with
hope Deferred with anxiety to
meet her husband, Caleb Setter,
master Of the brig Good Luck; to
| meet the master of the brig, her
| husband and the father of her
| child. God of heaven, why does
he stay away from her so long?

HOW EDISON MADE A BUG.

A correspondent of the Indian
apolis Journal tells the following
story Of Edison: One Of my let-
ters spoke Of the possibility OF
utilizing the present gaspipes by
running the electric wires through
them. "How is this wonderful
Edison going to get his wires
through the pipes, 1 should like
to know ?" asked an unbelieVer.
Edison thought it over.
"Why, see here, johnson !" he
exclaimed, the next morning; "l'll
make bug that will drag a wire
through all: the pipes in Ne"
York"
"Make bug?" said johnson :;
"what in the world are you talk
ing about p
"WelI, I'll make a bug" said
Edison "an iron bug that will go
where you send it, and drag a
wire after it,
His assistants drew around
while he described his coming-or,
rather, his going-bug. Next day
he hatched a rude specimen Of
that insect as large as coat buI-
ton. And it stood out on the ta-
BILE ard crawled!
It was constructed thus: A
minute electro carried be-
hind it q fine, insulated wire, the
armature of the magnet oper-
ating friction pawl. Now, OBJ
serve every time the circuit is
closed through the magnet the ar
mature is attached, the pawl
clutches the sides of the gas-pipe
with it's claws, and the magnet
behind is drawn toward the ar
mature about a sixteenth OF an
inch. When the circuit is open,
the armaturc reaches forward
ready to take second step. Thus,
at every closing Of the circuit the
little magnet, advances one step,
and drags forward the insulated
| wire. This description will. be
perhaps incomprehensible to non
experts, but more people know
something about electricity than
formerly did, and every telegraph
operator will understand how this
iron bug reaches out its armature
and crawls around a gas pipe.
"Now, don't misunderstand
this" said Edison; sit isn't at all
likely it will ever be used to thread
gas pipes; I have made it merely
for fun-just to show that l can
make a first class bug that will
crawl around all by himself. |
shan't make cockroach, for there
is no necessity for any more, but
By the way, L may make toy
lightning bug,some time. He could

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU

In speaking of a PERSONS faults,
Pray don't forget your own,
Remember those with homes of glass,
Should never throw stone.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like bis company,
We know this world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has not?
The ca as we'll as young;
Perhaps :se may for aught we know,
Have 6fty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
That I find works full we'll,
To try my own defects to cure
Ere others faults to tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be,
No worse than some know,
My own short comings bid me let
The faults Of others 80.
Then let us all when we begin,
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember sometimes curses, like
Our chickens roost at home.
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.

Tawman's private Office, when
Mrs. Setter partakes oft, but does
not think proper to waken the
weary child that she may eat al
so.
Then Mr.. Tawman says: Now,
you had better 60. III see to the
child; III bring the little girl up
with me tonight
No, nor exclaims the mother.

with sigh.
Now 60. I'm-sorry you have
to waken the child, but I suppose
you can't help it,
Come, Ellie says the mother,
touching her lightly on the shoul-
der.
The child with q start awakens
and cries, rs it my papa? Dear,
dear papa p
Then, seeing her disappoint-
ment, she burst into tears.
Don't cry, dear, don't cry. The
brig will come in. Don't cry?
The good old man speaks sooth-
ingly to the sobbiag child and the
mother catching her hand walks
slowly and sadly away, followed
by Mr.. Tawman, who lifts the lit
tie girl down stairs ard help both
her and her mother into a car.
The next morning the woman
is again lettering about the
wharves with the same agonized
inquiry. She again puts the ques-
ton to the wharfmen, and again
receives only the same answer
Then, as before, she seeks the Of
fee of the brig owners, still &C
companied by her little girl, and
asks
Has the brig Good Luck come
in yet?'
Not yet, ma'am.'
She sighs and looks out Of the
window at the shipping. She
SAYS she will wait for Mr.. Taw-
man and sits down.
When MIR. Tawman comes in,
as usual be greets her very kind
ly, and kisses the little girl and
says:
'I'm sorry the brig isn't in yet?
will it be in to-day?'

bis desk and looks over his letters.
He has not long been engaged in
his correspondence when a scream
from the woman startles him.
She has risen and is pointing
excitedly out Of the window.
Here is ship coming in. Look
Look!'
That's not it, says a clerk;

the office, dragging the child after
her, runs across the bustling
wharf out to the very edge OF the
water.
Mr.. Tawman rushed to the win
dow, opens it and calls to her.
To no purpose, however. All the
clerks cluster about the window
to catch her.
This woman is mad!' says one.
She is gong to drown herself.

telegraph operator.

The schooner is being towed up

MISTAKES CORRECTED.

The Herald in its last issue Is speaking
of the Wintermute murder case makes one
two mistakes which we take the liberty
to correct. The Herald says that at the first
trial of Wintermute the jury disagreed.
This is incorrect. Wintcrmute was indict.
ed for murder, and upon his trial was on
victed of m%anslaugh,er in the first degree.
Al this trial Hon. Jason Brown secretary
OF Wyoming, Hon Geo. H. Hand and Phil.
K. Faux then district attorney prosecuted
the case and Leonard SWEET, of Chicago, Col.
g. G. Moody, Hon. s. l.. Sphinx, Bartlett
Trip, Gen. VIM. Trip, and 8. A. Bently
defended. Wintermute's attorneys upon a
motion for a new trial obtained it in the
supreme court aud then took q change Of
venue to Clay county. 1n the second trial
the prosecution was represented by Jason
Brown. District Attorney ]. R. Gamble and
John l.. Jollev, and the defendant by g. c.
