Q.-Dl0 you ever MAKE tnlS re-
mark with regard to Col. Ingersoll,
that he would have a perch some

! thought he would be leaning over
the parapet to pull you in; that he
was large enough and good enough
to do it.
Q.-Large enough and good
enough to do it? A.-Yes; 1
thought he must be very kind
hearted to do that.
Q,-You remember the Sessions
resolutions disapproving OF your
proposed diamond bracelet rattle
for the benefit of the Kindergarten?
Al shall never forget them on
account of the spirit that actuated
them.
Q.-What do you mean by the
spirit that actuated them? Al

trust. A.-Well, its o pity you are
not. Laughter

Mosaic narrative as historical
fact, and she answered in the af.
mrmative.
DR.. Fiske asked whether Mrs.
Cooper believed in certain other
portions of the Old Testament:
Daniel In the Lions Den, Jonah in
the Whale, Children in the Fiery
Furnace? She believed they were
Historical facts.
Did she believe all the old Testa-
ment was inspired? She did.
Did she believe in the fulfilment
Of ell the prophecies? She did.
Did she believe in the miricles as
narrated in the books of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John? She did.
She was then asked what her
ideas of future punishment were.
She said shelhoped that Gods pun
ishmsDt would be like that of q
father to his children.
Mr.. Roberts-I stated that Mrs.
Cooper had used the following
words to me: ~ will break up your

A Very Bright Canary Bird.
Taught By a Little Girl to Sing Tune
 and Assist in Entertaining Visitors.

Taught By Little Girl to Sing Tunes
 and Assist i'm Entertaining Visitors.
 [Trom the New York Sum-
 A family living in the Hotel Victoria have a canary bird named Beauty which has shown 8 wonderful aptitude for picking up tunes. and seemed far in advance of others of his kind in general intelligence. He is especial ly fond of the head of the family, recogniz- ing his footsteps, and greeting him with q burst of song.
 On a recent evening, in the presence of guests, the door of Beauty's cage was opened after the master had seated himself at the piano, and the bird flew to the gentleman's shoulder and then to the music rack on the piano. When his master whistled an air, play ing an accompaniment, the canary wa bled and trilled in accurate tune and time, hop ping upon the players fingers and over the keys. When the whistling and accompani- ment ceased the bird perched upon his masters head and awaited further orders. Then Beauty was placed in front of the pier glass, where he sang to his reflected image in harmony with the piano accompaniment, and when his master stopped playing the bird fitted around the room in pursuit of his shadow on the ceiling. After he had con- vinced himself that he had cornered his dark silhouette he sat gazing abstractedly at it till he was coaxed away.
 After Beauty had retired to his cage he kissed the members of the family good night, initiating the kissing sound when he touched their lips with his bill. His education has been acquired within month, and his tutor is the little daughter of the family.

A Lively Encounter with a Buffalo.
 [Contribution to the Chicago Journal.l


 Buffalo hunts out on our western plains are not always void of excitement and TO- mance, as young gentleman from M1ssissip- pi will testify who recently engaged with sev- eral others in one of these hunts. It so hap pened that he had become separated from the rest of the party, and was hiding behind sage bush, waiting patiently to get 8 shot at 8 large herd which seemed to be coming in his direction. He had not long to wait be- fore the excited herd dashed by and disap- peared amid cloud of dust, leaving behind an immense bull, which had been wounded by the gentleman aforesaid. As soon as the cause of his misfortune had been discovered the animal dashed upon him, giving him barely time to jump as the infuriated bull passed directly over the spot where he had stood. Things began to look more alarming than interesting, but there was time to consider the matter, as the animal was again upon him. and again he had to jump. This operation was repeated four times, he man. aging meanwhile to get in several shots, but without effect. AS he was jumping for the fifth time to escape the assault, his foot slip ped. the bulls horn passing through the calf of his leg, completely servering the cord, and leaving the adventurer in helpless and crit ical condition. The animal came bearing down upon him for the last time. With bare- ly strength enough left to raise his rife, he fired, and, to his unbounded relief, managed to lodge @ ball in the animals brain. He was picked up by his friends soon after in 8 sense- less condition.

An illustration of the value of revaccina- tion is afforded by a report just furnished by the chief medical officer of the general post office in England. This report relates to an average number of 10, 504 persons employed in the postal service in London, all of whom have been required to undergo revaccination on admission to the service, unless that ope- ration has been performed within seven years previously. Among these persons, during the ten years 1s7O-1879, there has not been 8 single fatal case of smallpox, and in only ten instances have there been non- fatal attacks, all of which were of a very slight character. In the telegraph depart ment, where the enforcement of revaccina- tion has not been carried out with quite the same completeness, 12 cases have occurred in the same period among staff averaging 1,458 in number. Eight of these attacks were of persons who had not been reyacci- mated, and one proved fatal The remaining four were of revaccinated persons, who all perfectly recovered without pitting. This experience, like that of the nurses at the smallpox hospitals, seems to show that re- vaccinated persons enjoy absolute immunity from severe attacks of smallpox, and that their risk of catching that disease at all, len in it's most modified form, is infinitesimal.

Following Copy in Advertisements.

In the Liverpool County Court, last month, the proprietor of the Wasp newspaper ap- peared as plaintiff against MT. Benjamin Hyams, who had advertisements of his bus1- ness inserted in the Wasp and refused to pay according to copy. The case resolved itself into a question as to whether, in the event of an advertisement being sent to paper with instructions to insert, 1t was necessary to fol- low the exact setting as given in the copy, or whether the compositor could use his own discretion in the matter. After not little discussing and conferring, it was decided that although the copy of the advertisement in question had not been followed in every respect, the fact of the advertisement appear ing on the dates ordered was sufficient to complete the contract. So MT. Hyams had to pay his bill and the Wasp buzzed victori- ously.
 It should be borne in mind that neither the sense nor wording of the litigated advertise ment had been changed: the alterations were purely mechanical, disturbing the arrange ment of the words without in the least inter- fering with the words themselves. Legal pre- cedents in newspaper cases, rare in this coun- try, are rapidly multiplying in England. In the States must of course, be excepted the legal literature of newspaper libel suits, which is very voluminous indeed; larger by far than it of right ought to be. Suits between pub fishers and advertisers have been exceedingly rare with us, perhaps because the American compositor rigidly and conscientiously follows copy, though it should lead him out of sixth story window.
