The late "Uncle DAMP was good.
hearted to fault. There was clergy.
man who wanted to make little money
in stocks, and he gently confded his de.
sire to the kind old man. "Now I'll tell
ye, in strict confidence" whispered Uncle
Dan'l to the expounder of the gospel,
"there's a goin' to be rise III Injiany
Central. Put your money in thai, my
child, and you'll make something, sure
But mind you'll not word about it-not
word. Don't tell any of the congrega-
ton. Don't so much as tell your wife. u
The expounder invested his money in In
diana, and the stock went down in the
most hopeless manner.
The expounder sought Uncle Daniel
in his Office, and the old man was sympa-
thetic almost IN tears. "Strangest thing
| ever heard Of" said Uncle Dan'l, show
that ar stock doomed the wrong way
How much have you lost" The clergy
man mentioned the sum, and Uncle Dan'l
promptly made out his check for the en-.
tire amount, casually remarking, II won't
see you suffering through my bunderin'.'
"But," said the clergyman, sadly, "Pm
not the only sufferer. l told Deacon
Jones of the opportunity, and likewise
Brother Smith and several others, anc
they told their friends; 80 that almos
the entire church invested in Indiana
as that soG" said Uncle Dan'l with great
apparent astonishment and twinkle o.
his eye that might have meant excessive
regret. That's too bad. Almost tn,
entire congregation, heyY Poor things
poor things!' but he didn't make out
any more checks. Ii transpired directl,
that while the expounder and his friend
had been buying Indiana Central III,
good man, probably through some mad
vertence, had been selling that yer,
stock, and that he had got rid of it jus
in time to save himself from very heav,
loss. And the expounder never ventures
in stocks again, though Uncle Dan'l wa
free with his suggestions. He said it wa
game he did not understand.

A Bird Story.

Captain James Etchberger vouches for
the following bird story in the Baltimore

presented with parrot, sprightly bird

inches more-a total of eighteen inches

Bees on the Wing.

When a swarm leave for the woods
they are off before you fairly know it.
They drift away from the hive in wide
spread and apparently aimless con-
course, then suddenly gather up their
skirts, draw together their forces, and
away they 60. humming, flying vor-
tex of bees, the queen apparently in
the center and the mass revolving
about her as pivot, over orchards and
meadows, across creeks and swamps,
or woods and deep valleys, straight for
the appointed tree, slow at first, so that
you can keep up with them, but pres
emily with a speed that would tire afox-
hound. In this flight the individual
bees do not move in right lines, or
straight forward like a flock of birds,
but round and round like chaff in
whirlwhind; unitedly they form
whirling, revolving, ne5ulous mass fif-
teen or twenty feet across, that goes as
straight as a projectile to IFS mark.
They are not partial as to the kind OF
tree-pine, hemlock, elm, birch, maple,
hickory-any tree with good cavity
high up or low down. A swarm OF
mine ran away from the new patent
hive 1 gave them, and took up their
quarters in the hollow trunk of an old
apple-tree across an adjoining field.
The entrance was a mouse-hole near
the ground. Another swarm in the
neighborhood deserted their keeper and
want into the cornice of an clubhouse
that stood amid evergreens in the rear
of large mansion. But there is no
accounting for the taste OF bees, as
Samson found when he discovered the
swarm in the carcass (or more proba-
bly, the skeleton) of the lion he had
slain.-John Burroughs, in Scrib'er TOR

Attempted Assassination of Ed.
win Booth.

CHICAGO, April 23.-A desperate at
while playing Richard III. at Mcyicker's
Iheater, tonight. The play had advanced
TO the second scene of the fifth act, known as
" the prison scene" The lights were turn
ed down and the theater was almost dark as
night, when suddenly the flash of pistol
was seen In the second balcony, quickly fol-
lowed by another. The shots were fired at
Booth upon the stage. The would
be assassin made an attempt to fire
a third time, but was prevented by
some one sitting near. The greatest excite
ment prevailed, both in the audience and
on the stage, women screaming and men
yelling to catch the assassin. The lights
were turned on as quickly as possible, and
the man taken into custody. His name is
marx Grey, age about %, unmarried. and n
resident of keokuk, Iowa, although for
some time previous a dry-gOods clerk in St.
Louis. No cause can be conf ectured for the
attempted assassination except insanity,
which seems to be proven by the following
letter which was found upon the prisoner:

A Baby in a Panther's Jaws.

Last Thursday evening, about dark,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Campbell and
Dick Mannon were sitting on the porch
of the Soda Springs Hotel, at Soda
Springs. on the Sacramento River, while
Mr.. Campbell's little boy, aged about 3
years, was across the road, about 80 or
60 feet distant, amusing himself by cut
ting bushes with a little Ratchet. Those
on the porch were startled and Mortified
by observing panther spring upon the
child, and at the time supposed he was
dangerously injured, which would have
been the case, no doubt, had not the
child screamed and those on the porch
shouted excitedly, which prevented the
panther making deadly spring, as he
was evidently watching and fearing the
parties on the porch. As it was, the
panther seized the child by the chin, one
of the tusks of the upper jaw cutting his
lip, and one in the lower jaw cutting
his neck, while the paw of the beast
struck and scratched him in the breast.
The shouting and rushing toward the
child by those on the porch caused the
panther to make tracks up the noun
tain speedily, and after picking up the
child and examining the wounds IN
flicted, Mannon returned to the house
for his gun, and, following it up the
mountain, soon dispatched the panther,
a hungry, lean-looking customer, meas
uring five feet from tip to tip Yrcbo
