POWER or THE EYE.

A story Is told Of Van Ambnrgh, the
great lion tanner, now dead On ono oc-
cason, while in u bar.room, he was ask
cd how he got his wonderful power over
animals. He said: ut Is by showing
them that l am not the least afraid Of
them. I'll give you an example of the
power Of my eye Pointing to Il loutish
fellow who was sitting near by, he said :
"You see that fellow. He's u regular
clown. III make him come across the
room to me, and won't say No word to
him" Sitting down, no fixed his keen,
steady eye Oh the man. Presently the
fellow got up and came slowly across to
the lion tamer. When he got close
enough, he drew back aud struck Van
Amburgh tremendous blow under the
chin, knocking him clear over the chair,
with the remark "Yon1l stare Mt me
like that again, won't yon"

The DeSoto Democrat says the people
of Mansfield have displayed more enter
prise, in trying to further the interests
of the place, than any other town on the
line of the New Orleans Pacific road, for
which we are proud to say, that they
now have every prospect OF being richly
rewarded. Many merchants and bust

this town, and rs this point will handle

Mr. Henry W. Moore, the city editor of
the P0st-Dspa,ch, has been having quite a
circus with tina grand jury. Upon the 17th
of February an article was printed in this
psper headed "Mary Growers Baby" which
apparantly touched the grand jury upon tho
raw. They we're convinced that some of the
members Of the inquest had been leaking,
and accordingly desperate effort is being
made to find cut who has been giving the
star chamber people away. Tnat they are
quite sure that ono of their own members
has been blabbing, tho following questions
asked MIR. Moore on Saturday will show +;
|. Do YOU know the author of tho srticle
in Che post-Dispstch of February 18th
beaded MARY Growers Baby~
g. Do you know the name of the city
official referred TO in tho article
3. DO you know the names Of the grand
iurymen referred to in the same srticle?
4. Do you know or have you heard from
whom the ststemonts made in the whole arti
Gle came, or from whom tho information
was obtained? If so, state their names.
5. Doyou know who wrote tho parsgrarh
in the Same paper headed "Ed. Butler aid
the Police Department 7"
5 Did Mr., Stevens write either paragraph
or article referred to?
AL of these questions Mr. Moore very pro-
perly refu,cd to answer and the inquest gave
him until o'clock to-day to do so or 90 to
jill for contempt. The time has been
stretched until lvo o'clock, and it is quite
certain that Mr.. Moore will not answer these
decidedly Improper questions
The sources from which u newspaper DE-
rives its information nra not Tho proper cub
iac'q for star chamber inquiry, and the grand
jury viii probably find that its hands will be
MI, enough in taking care Of crirna and the
criminals without tsckling the newspapers
also.

Curious and Comlcal Errors.

A COLLECTION of errors of the
n press of the malignant type would
be one of the most entertaining chapters
in the Curiosities of Literature. y
Some years ago the London Times, in
speaking of a discussion before the
Council of Ministers, when Lord Brough-
am was Chancellor, stated " the chdnde-
Ne7' had thrown an extraordinary light
on the question" In one of the editions
of Davidson's Popular English Gram
mar the principal parts of the verb to
chide were given as follows: 6 Present
ipfnittUe Ito chide; past .fnite-I chide;
past i,yfnitue-to have children" In
the London Courier, some fifty years
ago, His majesty George the Fourth was
said to have fit of the goat at Brighton.
Another journal advertised a sermon, by
q celebrated divine, on the immortality
of the Soul, and also the LieS of the
Poets, work, no doubt, of many vol
umes. The London Globe once gave an
extract from the Registrar. Generals re-
turn, in which it was stated that the
inhabitants of London were suffering at
that time 'from high rate of n1oraIity."
A letter more, or letter less, makes
a strange havoc of sentence. What is
treason, once asked wag, but reason to
at2 which an accident of the press
may displace with the most awkward
effect. On the other hand, a printer
who omitted the first letter of Mr.. Has
wells name might have pleaded that it
was as aVeU without the H. A ludicrous
effect was produced by the change of a
letter in an article in the ReVue DIES
DeuD 1londes. The writer, being at
Venice, quoted the first line of the fourth
canto of Byron's Childe Harold, which
the printer rendered thus:
81 stood at Venice on the Bridge of
Sighs."
Some years ago an editor at the South, F,
wishing to congratulate General Pillow
after his return from Mexico as a battle
SCARED veteran, was made by the types
to characterize him as " battle-scared
veteran" The indignant general, rush
ing into the editorial sanctum, demand

An Emphatic Lesson.

1t was a Lesson that poor iaborlng
sometimes worked.
John had an unfortunate appetlte-so
some called it-for strong drink and
though he never drank to lntoxication,
yet he spent much money for spirits
which ought to have been expended for
the comfort of his family.
One day while John was at work at
the parsonage, the parson took occasion
to chide him for his habit OF drinking;
and he did 1t rather dictatoriaIly. Said
he:
You ought to know better, John .--l
Or, knowing better, you oughtto do beft
ter. am ashamed of you. Your nos8s
is fairly blossomed with the toddy you
have drank"
" Indeed, sir,-and do you never drink
yourself 7 retorted John, considerably
nettled.
And If | do, what is that to you p
Look at your condition, as compared
with mine. And, further, 1 do not
make sot of myself"
Heaven forbid that 1 should ever
think it sir. But,your reverence can you
tell me how it was that the streets of
Jerusalem were kept so clean all the
timer"
The minister was obliged TO confess
his ignorance.
Well, sir, said John, with a tight
ening of his lips, and a suggestive nod,
" 1t was simply because every man kept
his own doorway clean ~
And thus ended the lesson.
