A Grow Convention.

James Hillman, a respectable and we'll
to-do farmer, living between Orwigsburg
and Landingyille, is the authority for
the following remarkable story: Mr.. Hill
man has on his farm fifteen acres of tim
Der, which is joined by two other pieces
of woodland of about the same size. One
morning Mr.. Hillman's attention was
attracted by large focks of crows which
came from the South, and as if by common
consent settled in the woods mentioned
above. During the ensuing three days
the crows in the woods were REINFORCED
by new arrivals, until several thousand
were present, and the noise they made
attracted the attention of people for
miles around. Sentinel crows were
posted on the fences around the woods
and through them the approach of a man
or boy was quickly communicated to the
body of crows. The crows remained In
this patch of woods until Monday morn
ing, when they all left about the same
time taking their course of flight in a
northwestern direction. They left the
woods in hocks containing two or three
hundred each at intervals of five or ten
minutes, and, the departure of one OF
these focks was the signal for a loud and
prolonged cawing on the part of those
remaining behind. They all departed
in the same direction, and the last flock
took to wing about an hour after the first
started. Since then there has not been
a crow seen in the neighborhood. Mr..
Hillman says that during their stay in
his woods, the crows did not commit any
depredations on the neighboring corn
fields, and but few of them even ventured
beyond the confines of the timber

A ReYengeful Camel.

We find this Eastern story illustrating
the cameps malignity and passion-not-
withstanding his patience and good ser
vice when well treated: On one occasion
q camel-driver had insulted the animal
in his charge. The driver, from the
expression of its eye, saw that there was
mischief in it, and kept sharp watch for
some days. One night before he retired
to rest, he left his cloak spread over the
wooden saddle of the camel outside the
tent. During the night the camel ap-
preached the cloak, and, believing that
its master was fast asleep under it,
Law down and rolled itself backwards
and forwards over the cloak; the saddle
broke under its weight, and the animal
was evidently much pleased at what it
thought was the cracking and breaking of
its masters bones. After time it rose,
andlooking with contentmento on the havoc
it had caused, retired from the spot. Next
morning, the driver, who had heard all
that the camel had done, presented him
self to the animal The disappointed
camel was in such rage at seeing its
master safe and well that it died.

Man a Laughing Animal.

Man is said to be the only animal that
can cry, and yet he is not really a crying
creature. He is laughing and smiling
creature. The hours which bring tears
do not-come very often. Some fresides
see ten or twenty years in1which no one
has cause for weeping. Many hundreds
and thousands meet with no sorrow for a
quarter century. The days on which
man cries are few compared with all the
days of his life. Man is an animal that
can cry, but he is most perfectly crea-
ture that laughs. Not many days pass
that bring no pleasant smiles to the ma
iority. There is column of laughter in
the daily newspaper. The light dramas
of a pure and ingenious quality draw
large audiences, while painful tragedy is
less popular, because all mankind would
rather laugh than cry. It ought to be
an q priori argument in favor of hfe's
intrinsic sweetness and worth that man
comes up into it with his face beaming
with smiles, and this smile widens out as
years pass, and the dear old father laughs
and plays with children, and one merri-
ment like one electricity thrills the heart
of infant and of patriarch.

An Amusing Story.

sFrom grave to gay" is the order of
life, and of newspapers as well-so we
revive the old and amusing story OF the
miller who sometimes had crazy fits, IN
which he always imagined himself to be
the Lord Judging the world. rai
On these occasions he would put on a
paper crown, ascend pile of meal-bags
with great dignity, and call his neigh
bors in succession. : The same ones were
always judged; and they were the millers
of his vicinity.
The first one summoned was Hans
Schmidt. 70

Be Gentle With Animals.

Some persons govern their children
and domestic animals with the whip.
Boys thus governed, either run away
from their parents, or leave them with
out much regret az soon as they become
of lawful age to do SO. Some farmers
are kind and gentle with their domestic
animals, and the brutes reciprocate their
treatment by showing the same acts.
And this leads us to say, in the words of
wise man, " tameness and gentleness
are qualities to be encouraged in all do
mestic animals" Their value is discov-
cred when it is necessary to handle the
animal at critical periods. When con-
fidence, if not affection, exists, we can do
much with a suffering animal, when
otherwise interference might make mat
ters worse. It would be well to make
friends with COWS, and sheep, especially,
by petting them, giving them salt and
palatable things, and mingling with them
in the yards. Every animal should be
trained to be handled when loose in the
ward.

Married BY Chance.

The Count de M lived in stateof
single and independent -blessedness. He
was vet young, very rich, and was sur
rounded by everything which could give
enjoyment to except wife. He had
frequently thought of becoming a hus-
band, but had always declared off before
the knot was tied Once, however, he
found himself very nearly committing the
folly of matrimony A young person, the
daughter of one of his friends, pleased
him; her fortune pleased him, not less,
perhaps, than her person and accomplish
ments, and there were other reasons OF
convenience, etc., to justify the union.
The Count, who had SO frequently
made the first step toward matrimony,
but as frequently drew back, had not yet
decided upon the course he should adopt
in this case; he had promised the friends
of the lady repeatedly, but had madc no
outward sign of performance. His future
mother, however, knowing his weakness In
this respect, resolved to bring matters to
termination, and therefore demanded
of the Count whether he would or would
not marry her daughter, and required
an immediate reply. The Count found
himself in great embarrassment. At this
moment his fear and hesitation returnep
with more force than ever. He trem-
bled at the consequences. To give up lis
cherished habits of bachelorhood he found
was hard; it was almost impossible to
abandon them. In this emergency he resol-
we'd to appeal to chance. He wrote two let
ters in theonehe accepted the hand of the
lady, in the other refused it. He then
put them into hat and called his servant
'Take one of these letters, said he,
''and carry it the chateau of -"
(Which letter, sir?"
(Which you please"
The servant chose letter. The Count
burned the other without opening it. A
distance of ten leagues separated the two
| chateaus. The domestic must be absent
twenty-four hours-twenty-four hours
must elapse before the Count can know
his fate. His situation is any thing but
agreeable. He knows not during the
twenty-fou hours whether he is married
man or single whether he has still
thepower to dispose of fhimself, or whether
he is not already disposed Of The domes
tic returned. Hehad carried the letter O
acceptation, and NJ de Ms, even a
this time, one of the happiest husbands il

The First Corrnpt candidatesa.

This canvass for a President will be
distinguished from all others in the his
tory of the United States by one circnm-
stance which every self-respectine
citizen, Democrat or Republican, must
sincerely deplore. For the first time
since the foundation of the Government,
there is question rs to the personal in
tegrity of a candidate for the Nations
highest office.
Our people have not been accustomed
to hear charges of personal dishonesty
brought against the men presented foi
their suffrages.
That is because the candidates chosen
by both great parties in all past cam
paigns have been men against whose
private character there was not even
suspicion. The selection by either party
of a candidate not only suspected but
proved to be guilty of corrupt practices,
Is absolutely without precedent. .
One thing, and only one thing, could
be more humiliating to our National
pride-the election and Inauguration Of
President branded with personal dis
honori-NeaD York Sun.

The Prophecy of the Greyhound.,

Richard II, of England, had grey
hound, called Math, beautiful beyond
measure, who would not notice or follow
any one but the king. Whenever the
king rode f''road the greyhound was
loosed by ti.o person who had him in
charge, and ran instantly to oaress him,
by placing his two fore feet ON his shoul-
ders. It fell out that as the king and the
Duke of Lancaster were conyersing in the
court of the castle, their horses being
ready for them to mount, the greyhound
was united, but instead of running as
usual to the king, he left him and leaped
to the Duke of Lancaster's shoulders,
paying him every court, and caressing
him as he formealy used to caress the
king. The duke, not acquainted with this
greyhound, asked the king the meaning
of this fondness, saying: i5
''What does this mean?"

a great deal for you, and very little for

A Buddhist Fable.

Bodhisat was tradesman who went
from village to village to dispose of his
wares. One day when at the house of a
carpenter, whose head was bald like a
copper porringer, musquito alighted
thereon; and the carpenter called to his
son, who was near, to drive it away. The
son taking sharp ak for this purpose,
aimed blow at the insect, but split his
fathers head in two and killed him. On
seeing what he had done, Bodhisat said
that an enemy was better than foolish
relative or friend.

The Demoeratic Congress.

Like every. session since the Democrats
returned to the control of the House,
this one is notable for the absence OF
jobbery. The lobby has been starved
out in Washington under the economi-
cal and somewhat parsimonious man
araInant of the Democrats. The subsidy
schemers no longer give dinners to Con-
gressmen and find it waste of time to
button-hole members. The Democratic
tendency to careful appropriations is
sometimes carried to extremes, but it is
welcome to the country, and it is very
great change from the laxity about pub
lie expenditures and the readiness to
grant the public property for private
uses which characterized the Republican
rule and which occasioned a good many
scandals In, those days which are now
coming home to the party leaders in a
very unwelcome and embarrassing way.

Vigorous Application Of tho Peace Policy
to the Hostiles by Gen. Hatch.
Santa Fe, May 27.-The latest advices
from Ojo Caliente, General Hatch's pres
entsheadquarters, is to the effect that
at daylight on the morning of the oath
part of his command, consisting of
Indian scouts and soldiers of tho 9th
cavalry, struck the camp of the hostile
Apaches at the headwaters of the Palo-
mas river, about thirty miles south of
Ojo Caliente, routing the hostile Indians
completely. The official report of the
chief scouts states that thirty hostiles
were killed. The scouts and soldiers en-
gagged claim that fifty-five Indians were
killed. Several Navajoes and Co.
manches were found in camp, showing
that Victoria has received dreinforcements
from those tribes. Major Morrow's
command reached Ojo Caliente from the
southwest part of Valencia county on
the night of the oath, and al
though just in from along march thor
oughly exhausted, the four companies
of the 9th cavalry, composing the COM
mand, were Immediately rationed and
pushed by Gen. Hatch to take up the
trail and pursue the fleeing hostiles.
Two other companies of the 9Th cavalry,
which will reach Ojo Caliente on the
26th, although with broken down horses
and almost entirely worn out, will not
be allowed to rest but will be pushed
ahead at once. Gen. Hatch will reach
Fort Craig tonight when further news
is expected. Orders have been issued
to Eugene Carr at Tucson to have his
command, the sixth cavalry, scout the
west line of our territory in Valencia,
Loeorro and Grant countless to protect
settlements and trains and to prevent
Victoria and his band from doubling
on their trail back into Arizona.
