A Monkey Story.

Rather good monkey story for little
folks this: There lives in the South of
France man of wealth whose chateau
or country place of residence has around
it very tall trees. The cook of the cha
teau has a mOnkey-a pert fellow, who
knows ever so many tricks. The mon
key often helps the cook to pluck the
feathers from fowls. On the day that
interests US the cook gave the monkey
two partridges to pluck, and the mon
key, seating himself in an open window
went 10 work. He had picked the feathers
from one of the partridges and placed it
on the outer ledge Of the window with
satisfied grunt, when, 10! all at once Q
hawk flew down from one of the tall
trees near by and bore of the plucked
bird. Master Monkey was very angry.
He shook his fist at the hawk, which
took seat on one Of the limbs not far
of and began to eat the partridge with
great relish. The owner of the chateau
saw the sport, for he was sitting in .
grape arbOr, and crept up to watch the
end of it. The monkey picked the other
partridge, laid it on the ledge in tho
same place, and hid behind the window
screen on the inside. The hawk Was
caught in this trap, for when it few
down after the partridge, out reached
the monkey and caught the thief. In q
moment the hawks neck was wrung,
and the monkey coon had the hawk
plucked. Taking the two birds to the
cook, the monkey handed them to him
as if to say, Here are your two

that one of the birds looked queer, but
he served them On the table. The owner
of the house shook his head when he
saw the dish, and telling the cook of the
trick, laughed heartily.

here, they'd be just as likely to seize

to temporize with the heathen and try

"They were two hundred strong up

the business, went up to the Chinese
camp, but they wouldn't take the
money. They said they'd begun work,
and meant to have the proceeds of the
day; but the boys looked dangerous, 80
the heathens finally said they'd settle
up that night, take the money, and give
possession.
"This made the gulch worse thah

The Weather.

1t is pyoverbia that nobody can recollect
the state OF the weather for even year, much
less for dozen of them. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that everybody in Richmond
should honestly suppose. that no such warm
winter as the present was ever before eXpe-
reneed in this city. We have resorted to our
files, however, and in the Daily Dispatch OF
February 8, 1869, we find the following
paragraph, which will gladden. the hearts Of
at least those persons who see in the cur
rent long spell of warm weather ga bad
sign" and something never before seen nor
heard of:
"The month Of January, 1869. was one Of
the most remarkable winter months when
have ever been experienced in this latitude.
Even that elderly gentleman TO whom are

islinabe TO call to mind similar season.
1t will be seen from the table which we pre-
sent below that the thermometer Fahren-
heiD reached the freezing point on only
three days during the entire monih-namely,
I'd, 21st, and 10Th, while the mean tempera-
ture was 80 and u 81 degrees. The frs
four DAYS OF the month were cloudy and
damp. There was rain on only three days,
while twenty were clear. On two days

and on the 39th-the night succeeding
the thunder-storm--it indicated 81 (at s A.
