The First Coaches.

Coaches were introduced into Eng
land by Fitz Allen, Earl of Arundel, A.
D., 1880; before. which time Queen
Elizabeth, on public occasions, rode be-
hind her chamberlain; and she, in her
old age, according to Wilson, used re-
luctantly such an effeminate conveyance.
They were at first drawn by two horses;
"but, says the same author, "the rest
crept in by degrees, as men at first ven
tured to sea. It was Buckingham, the
favorite, who, about 1919, began to have
"team" of six horses; which, ss an
other historian says, "was wondered
at as novelty, and imputed to him as
master PRIDE" Before that time ladies
chiefly rode on horseback, either single,
on their palfreys, or double, behind
some person on a pilliou. In the year
1879, at which period throughout the
kingdom there were only six stage
coaches constantly running, pamphlet
was written and published by Mr.. John
Cresset, of the Charterhouse, urging
their suppression; and, among the grave
reasons given against their continuance,
the author says: "These stage. coaches
make gentlemen come to London on
very small occasion, which otherwise
they would not do but upon urgent ne
cessity; the convenience of this passage
makes their wives often come up, who,
rather than come such long journey
on horseback, would stay at home.
Then, when they come to town, they
must presently be in the mode, get fine
clothes, go to plays and treats, and, by
these, get such habit of idleness and
love OF pleasure as makes them uneasy
ever after.

A Dog Killed by q Mouse,

A gentleman writing to a journal in
Berlin, Germany, relates the following
curious occurrence: CT was alone with
my labors in field where potatoes were
being harvested. MY watch dog was
along with me. I saw him seize a
mouse, swallow, and then lie down at
my feet. I went home to dinner, and,
while seated at the table, was asked
what was the matter with the dog. He
was turning round and moaning, and
something was hanging from his hide.
I took him up in my arms, and found it
was mouse which had jest been killed.
At first I thought it had merely stuck in
the long hair, but on examining closer
T saw that only one.half of the mouse
protruded from the dogs body. When
the aperture was cleared, it was found
to be an inch in depth. The dog had
no front teeth, had swallowed the mouse,
and the little animal had at once began
to gnaw IFS way out. Il was at first
stopped by one of the ribs, and had &C
tually burrowed out between the skin
and rib. The dog killed the mouse
when it put it's head out by munching it
with his jaws. The dog died the same
day.

Queer Name for a Newspaper.

Considerable curiosity having been
manifested by our friends in regard to
the significance of the name of this
paper, we will inform them that Dona
Ana county having heretofore been Re-
publican by maiorities ranging from
three to five hundred and the Democrat
10 party having in the recent election
carried it by majority Of thirty -four, a
revolution which one of the editors Of
this paper contributed toward bringing
about, it was considered appropriate to
adopt that majority for a name. Her.
aids, Democrats, Republicans, Suns,
Stars, Gazettes, ETC., there are without
number, and not one Of them possesses
such an individuality as to be intelli-
gibly referred to by its simple name
without mentioning its locality. There
is but one Thirty Four, and whenever
it shall be mentioned there will be no
doubt as to what particular journal is
alluded to. The name is brief and
unique, has local and historical signif.
canoe and is inst odd enough to attract
attention. These are considerations
which are too often ignored in profess
sion which lives by advertising other
peoples business but neglects to adver.
tise it's own.--Nelr Merico Thirty -Four.

WHAT'S In q Name.

The Eillman house-distinguished for
having been once occupied by Washing
son-is q great hostelry just north OF the
capitol, on Delaware avenue. tits much
affected by married people with fami-
lies. In its grand old corridors and the
staircases play the most charming beings
of children. Among the group is a boy,
whose dark, piquant face is as bright
and questioning as the one Of Murillo's
gypsies. He is called "Turnie " and is
the son of Capt. Meigs. Tie legend of
his name is that many years ago in the
staid. old State Of Connecticut q great
great grandfather OF tho little fellow
eourted a young girl and asked her to be
his wife. Her mother was snIious that
her daughter should marry BID exemplary
q man, but the wayward girl discarded
him. T. -. - ~ .s.i
The disheartened suitor begged her
to think Of it, for If he left with her re-
fusal he would never return. She gave
him no encouragement, 80 be left. He
was still outside, 10th to depart, when
tile young girl, repenting, ran to the
door and opening it suddenly called out:
"Return, Jonathan return, Jonathan !"
He did return and they were married.
When their first child was born, wishing
to commemorate 80 happy an union,
they named him Return Jonathan Meigs.
The child was afterward appointed judge
of the Territory of Michigan, and re-
signed in 1908. The grandfather OF this
beautiful boy is at present clerk of the
district court. - Washington Letter.

4 Parrots Piety.

Captain James Etchberger vonches
for the following bird story
About thirty years ago when in Hon
duras in command of the bark Eldor-
ado, his wife: then accompanying him,
he was presented with parrot, spright.
" bird and fluent discourser in the
Spanish language. The bird Was
brought to this city, where after being
domiciled in the house Of the captain g
family it soon acquired knowledge of
the English tongue. The next door
neighbor of the captain was garullous
woman-an incessant soold-forever
quarrelfng with some one or something.
Polly being allowed full liberty was
pleased to take an airing on the yard
fence, and in short time had learned
to mimic the scolding neighbor TO per-
fection and became aggressive. Polly
not unfrequently rued her impertinence
by being knocked off the fence with a
broomstick. .......
This brought forth torrent Of abuse
from her injured feelings upon the head
of her assailant. Finally the birds
language became 30 abusive that the
captain was obliged to send it away, and
Polly was transferred to good Chris
tian family in the country, where in the
course of time she reformed and became
to some extent bird of edifying piety.
Some time ago, while she was sun
ming herself in the garden, large hawk
swooped down and bore the distressed
parrot off as a prize. Her recent re-
ligious training came to her assistance,
as at the top of her voice she shrieked,
"Oh, Lord, save mel Oh, Lord, save
me p
The hawk became 80 terrified at the
unexpected cry that he dropped his in
tended dinner and scared away in the
distance. -.
Polly still survives her attempted
abduction. on.-Baltimore (Md.) News.

Chinese Canals.

The Egyptians cut many canals and
this simple method of promoting in
ternal communication is of unknown an
tiquity. In China canals appears to
have been one of the earliest evidences
of civilization. The "Great Canal in
that country is a memorable example of
this class of engineering exploits. 1t is
said to have occupied hundred and
twenty years in it's construction, and to
have given employment to thirty thou
sand men, occupying the entire four
teenth century. 1t is about one thou
sand miles in length and is supplied
by a great number of streams from the
fat country through which it flows.
Strong dykes, formed Of alternate layers
of earth and straw, and sometimes cased
with stone, prevent the water from over
flowing the flat country. In some parts
the canal is carried on an embankment
twenty feet high, while on others it
payerses cutting. q .handred feet deep.

Jpf,arsOn,s Farewell.

Two days before dying Thomas Jeffer-
son told his daughter, Mrs. Randolph,
that in o certain drawer in an old pocket
book she would find something intended
for her, and, on afterward looking there,
she found the following verses, written
by him:
"Life's Visions are vanished, It's dreamg are no
more,
Dear friends of my bosom, why bathed in
tears2
I 20 to my fathers, welcome the shore
Which crowns all my hopes or which buries my
cares.
Then farewell, my dear, my lov'd daughter,
adieu
The last pang Of life is in parting with you!
Two seraphs await nae long shrouded in death;
7 will bear them your love on my last parting
breath"

The fashions in dogs in France vary,
and it is rather surprising to bee how
quickly the demand for any special
breed is met by lavish supply. A few
years ago it was said that the race of
pugs was dying out; but some great
ladies took to cultivating pugs, and 10 !
all the markets swarmed with black
nosed little fellows. Yellow, wiry Eng
lish terriers are now the rage in Paris;
and Italian grayhounds have, become so
scarce that a fancier could not furnish
well-matched pair, cream or mouse color,
for less than $125.

The Windsor hotel, New York, is aver
aging one hundred more guests than at
q corresponding time last year, which
speaks volumes for the excellent man
agement of this great hotel. This is to
be accounted for by the reduction in

access by the new elevated railroads.
