How Monkeys are Captured.

The ape family resembles man. They love
liquor and fall. In Darfour and Sonar tho ma.
tives make a fermonted beer, Of which the
monkeys are passionately fond. Aware Of this
tho natives so to the parts of the forest fre.
quented by the monkeys, and set on the
ground calabashes full of the enticing liquor.
As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it he
ntters loud cries of joy that soon attract his
comrades. Then an orge begins, and in a
short time they will snow all degrees of intoxi-
cation. Then the negroes appear The few
who came too late to get fuddled escape. The
drinkers are too far gone to distrust them, but
apparently take them for larger specimens of
their own genus. The negroes take some up,
and these begin to weep aud cover them with
kisses When negro takes one by the hand
to lead him of, the nearest monkey will cling
to the one who thus finds support, and en-
deavor TO so on also. Another will grasp ut
him, and so on, until the negro leads strag-
Cling line of ten or dozen tipsy monkeys.
When finally brought to the village they are
securely Gagged up and gradually sobered down
but for day or two gradually diminish.
ing supply of liquor is given them, so as to
reconcile them by degrees to their state of

the morning Of the appointed day, when con
ferring with the head servant, q very accom-
plished and woll-trained waiter, sho discoy-
cred that ono Of tho twelve silver shells in
which scOlloped oysters were to TO served had
been misplaced. Rigid search for tho missing
article having proved unavailing the lady do
cided that sooner than give up that particular
course she would simply decline oysters when
they were handed her and so the eleven shells
would be sufficient. 1t happened that whom
the oysters were served at dinner by the same
accomplished attendant his mistress was en-
gagged In very animated conversation with
one or two Of her neighbors, and forgetting
her determination she took ono of the shells Of
oysters and set 1t before herself. If the SER

tones distinct though low said respectfully:
Excuse me, madame, but you said that was
to remind you that the doctor forbade your

planation to her guests III am 50 absent

Just Like n Man,

Mrs. Cligho went down to the Sandwich
Springs the other day with some friends, aud
after she had departed her husband looked
around the house to SEQ what he could do TO
busy himself The front steps looked rather
brown, and he pulled or his coat, hunted up
paint and brush, and in an hour he had COM
pleted as nice Il job of painting as any house,
wife would care to see. He had right to
chuckle over it, and to imagine how pleased
his wife would be but no one can tell what an
hour may bring forth. Even before she had
opened the gate OH her return the wife got red
in the face nourished her parasol around, and
called out:
''You great big idiot! Won't you never
learn anything"
"Wh-whats the matter now?" he gasped.
Matter! Why, have invited a dozen peo-
pie to come in this evening and eat stnwber-
ries and play whist"
Yes; well, cart they comeY

From the Louisville Courier.Journal.l
Washington is the most beautiful city in tho
Union 1t has been made so by Boss Shepherd.
The citizens who Were denouncing him seven
years ago and calling him by all sorts of hard
names now speak Of him with entire respect.
They now have city that they are proud OF
and the Governments capital it is not ashamed
of. When Congress and the Supreme Court Of
the United States are in session it is full of life.
In their absence it closely resembles one-horss
town. The hotels are nearly deserted aud the
boarding-house keepers are put ON short allow
ance. By the by, Washington has the reputa-
tion in the States OF being place Of much dis
sipation. 1t is not true. 1t is but seldom that
a drunken man Is seen on the streets, and
there is not a gambling shop that is visited by
respectable men. In word, there is not q
city in America that can boast of a more re
spectacle population.
