A Scotch clergyman by the name Of
Watty Morrison entreated an officer to
pardon poor soldier for some offence
he had committed. The officer agreed
to do so ifhe would, in turn, grant him
the first favor he should ask. Mr..
Morrison agreed to this. In day or
two the officer demanded that the
ceremony of baptism be performed on
a puppy. The clergyman agreed to
it; and party Of many gentlemen
assembled to witness the novel baptism.
The parson desired the officer to hold
up the puppy, as was customary in the
baptism of children, and said:
As am a minister of the Church
OF Scotland, | must proceed accord
ing to the ceremonies Of the church.
Well, then, Major, begin by the u.s.
nal question: You acknowledge your
self the father of this puppy?"
A roar of laughter burst from the
crowd; the officer threw the candidate
for baptism away, and thus the witty
minister turned the laugh.

In some parts of Australia and in
Nevada are found stones that travel,
they are almost perfectly round and
IN many cases as large as walnut and
of hard and iron nature. When
thrown about the floor, table or other
surface, within three feet of each other,
they will commence to travel to a
common center. They will thus hud-
die up in bunch like lot of eggs in
a nest. Take a single stone and re-
move it to distance of three or four
feet, and upon being released it starts
off with somewhat comic celerity to
join its fellows. Take it away five
feet, it will remain motionless. They
are almost always found in compare
lively level and barren regions. Scat
tered in these barren regions are little
basins from two feet to rod in diane
ter, and in the bottom of these the
rolling stones are found. They will
be found from the size of a marble to
SIX inches in diameter. The rolling
together is on account of the material
ofwhich they are composed, which is
substance called lode-stone.

NEWS IN BRIEF
May 6fh
May 9th.

On the night of the 9Th the dyke Oh
the Mississippi bottom opposite Lon!
lake near East St. LOUIS was cut by
some miscreants and the farms pro
tected by it flooded. Twenty thous
and acres of the best farming lands ir
the west are thus laid waste.
News from South Africa state that
the Beers are threatened with war by
the natives after the English troops
are withdrawn.
The strike of the switchmen at Mil.
waukee continues.
The Grand Council of Royal and
Select Master Masons met in St. Louis
on Friday. Representatives from all
parts of the state were present.
Conkling having persisted in his de-
termination TO fight the appointment
of Robertson, the president has with
drawn all the other New York nomi-
nations, many Of whom were Conk-
ling's friends. This means that if
Mr.. Conkling chooses to place HIM
himself in hostility to the president,
himself and his friends must take the
consequences. 1t would have been
a neat stroke ofstrategy to have con.
firmed all his own friends and left the
president with the balance on his
hands unconfrmed.
