COL. PELToN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
New York, Feb. G.-Col. Pcltou was 10.
day before the congressional committee in.
vest'gating the cipher dispatches. He said
l have destroyed the cipher and key and
can't now remember the names Of any per-
sons with whom conferred. All the tele-
gra us sent by Weed, were, by my instruc,
ton, addressed to Havemeyer, who at once
sent them 10 me. After this they were pre-
senled to the committee ut the Everett
House. In my abscnce the national demo-
cratic committee opened them. Chairman
called attention to u dispatch dated at
Tallahassee, November 10th, and signed in
translation. Marble. The dispatch stated
that the canvassing board may and will
purge the country returns, aud our fir.t
move will be to require of the board Of
three state officers immediate action.
Col. FELTON, / might as we'll state here,
l cannot remember anything about these
dispatches. There is no q,es ion but that
the Tribune dispatches get near to the point;
yet they are inaccurate. l always under

same person. Give me little more lati.

Witness said he had au idea that the re-
turning board proposition. even if not car.
ried out, would result, if assented to, in
delay which would be favorable to the dem
ocratic rarty. He had made no arrange
ments for raising more, but intended even

In the meanwhile he thought it best to

wholly on his own responsibility, without
consultation with any one. He held no
authority to act for the democratic national
commission in the matter.

A Cunning Artisan.

No bird, or other animal, not even
man himself, can excel the beautiful
workmanship of the tiny little creature
known as the "brickmaker," which is
scarcely visible to the naked eye. By
the use of the microscope it has been
discovered that she not only builds her
house, but manufactures her own brick,
and lays them up, one by one, with no
workmen to assist. The house is usu-
ally attached to some waterplant; but
they sometimes anchor their dwellings
to the parent-house. When the animal
is resting or is in any way disturbed,
she settles down in the lower part OF
the tube; but when all is quiet and she
is In good working condition, with no
nursery of young ones around her, she
is pretty sure to reward us with the
sight OF her four beautiful wheels which
she sets in rapid notion, thus forming
a swift current which brings the food
and tee material for the brick close to
her head; and she has the power of Sc
lection, for she often rejects particles
brought to her mouth. The apparatus
for moulding the brick Is within the
body. The material is brought through
the action of the wheels TO small
opening, where it passes down to the
apparatus, which is in rapid, whirling
motion, soldering the particles together
until they become. seemingly, solid
ball; now she elects the brick from its
mould, bends her head over, and se-
curely places it on top of the structure.
Ii takes her about three minutes TO
manufacture each brick.

He Was n Diplomat.

A very tall man with sandy chin
whiskers entered the door. The car
was full, and the seat unoccupied by
two persons was filled with valise, a
bundle, a shawl and a thin woman of
thirty-five, with the latest style of red
hair and false teeth. The man with the
sandy whiskers, feeling a systematic
bond drawing him toward the woman's
red hair, touched her on the shoulder
and said:
sis this seat engaged?"
"Yes, it is" snapped the woman,
swelling up in the seat, that the man
might observe no possible room.
"Ah?" murmured the man, in pleas
ant tone. Then he went and stood by
the stove and mused for awhile. Pres
emily he returned to the scene of his
rebuff, and leaning on the arm of the
seat, said softly:
"I beg youI paI don, madam, but as
was standing by the stove, your feat
ures struck me familiarity. Did you
ever attend Presidential reception at
Washington"
"No, never did," replied the wo-
man, but in milder voice than she had
ut first assumed.
"Then you will please pardon me" "
said the man, with an apologetic air !;
"the mistake was occasioned by your
close resemblance to young lady from
Philadelphia, who made her debut that
season, and whom l had the pleasure
of meeting. She was considered the
belle of the season."
"No-I never was in Washington,
remarked the woman, in a mollified
tone.
sit is strange how much you resem-
BILE the lady in question:" pursued the
man. "The hair Is the same golden
hue, and while her features may not
have been so clear cut and Grecian in
their-but there, excuse me, am an
noying you," and the tall man started
away.
"Don't hurry" said the woman,
pleasantly. "There doesn't appear to
be many empty seats; won't you sit
here?" And she picked up her numer-
GUS baggage.
The man with the sandy whiskers
didn't know, but finally accepted the
invitation, and in an incredibly brief
space of time had the valise and bundle
in the rack above, the shawl tucked
around the window to exclude the draft,
and was regaling the red-headed wo-
man with a choice collection of anec.
dotes, that kept her laughing till the
passengers could see her false teeth.

Properties OF Cocoa.

The remarkable properties of Cocoa
the dried leaves of a small tree grow
ing in Peru and Boliyia-and especial
ly its power TO enable one to put forth
long-cOntinued exertion without IA
tigue, have been exciting a good deal
of attention among scientific men for
the last few years. These properties
were known and priced long before the
Spanish conquest, the leaves being en-
ployed even as medium of exchange.
After the conquest, thew were among
the most valuable articles of export.
At Potosi alone, 100000 bushels were
consumed yearly. Under the influ-
ence of the leaves of this plant, the mi
ners can work night and day, with
only brief intervals of rest and sleep.
The slightest food and a handful of
the leaves enable The natives to endure
the severest and most protracted toll OF
every kind. They take them three
times a day, chewing them and lodg-
ing them in the side of their mouth,
like quid of tobacco. In 1876, the
Toronto (Canada) Lacross club, consis-
ting of sixteen players, all of sedentry
professions, held the championship OF
The world against all comers, white
men or Indian, fortified mainly by CO.
ca, which they chewed during the game
swallowing the saliva. One day, dur
ing which the heat of the sun was at
ITO degrees Fahrenheit, though their
antagonists, mechanics and tradesmen
of sturdy build, were utterly exhaust
ed before the game was finished, the
former seemed as free from fatigue as
at the beginning. Its chief action is
upon the heart, and it is believed by
some, at least, that it is liable to the
same objection as other powerful mar
cotics. A French writer affirms that
when long used in excess, it affects the
brain, and ultimately induces imbecil-
ity.

the reason why, you will probably
guess at, after hearing the story. He
said he was out among the rocks and
discovered a wolf; he shot and killed
it, Upon examination he found it to
be she wolf. and sucking young ones.
lie finally found her den and crawled
into it, and found ten young pups.
He took them to his shanty and built a
log pen for them and reared them on
deer meat-they were too young 10 get
the bounty on. There was then a
bounty for grown up wolves offered by
town, county and State, in all amount
ing to about $50 for each wolf. They
were the large gray wolf, one of them
nearly black. This one, he said, he
used TO take and play with it the same
as a dog. He said he regretted TO kill
this one very much, but $50 was too
great temptation. As these wolves
grew up, he would take them into diff
ferent sections, kill them, take their
scalps off and claim the bounty.

are posted on the fact that Bijah's farm,

and the income footed up four string
beans, dandelion, and about dozen
old paper collars. The Police Commits

pond where poor, sad boys can always

matters of interest. Admission to this

relies, they will be set up rs ornaments,
