Our Foreign Guests.


There was something besides
form and ceremony at the centen-
NAL, as the following incident W Ill
illustrate. The steamer on the return
trip had landed, and Mrs Breezy was
waiting patiently for the return of
her huS band who had gone to share
in the festivities. Suddenly he en-
tered:
"Hurra' for the Frenchl" said Mr..
Breezy, staggering into his wife's
presence.
"Where have you been?" asked
Mrs. Breezy, in CONSERVATION.

Breezy dropping over into an arm
chair, and throwing his new fall hat
across the room.
"A1r. Breezy. have you really got

and Mr.. Breezy waved his arms like
the sails of the windmill.
"This is simply dreadful" said Mrs.
Breezy, locking with establishment
upon her husband.
"Drefful? Not tall, Mrs. B.; not
tall. Contrary, delightful. Hurra'
for Central Gov'nOr COrn'll!" and
Mr.. Breezy gave vigorous kick, up
setting rocking chair and work
table, scattering the contents of the
latter over the floor. Grand proc

rolled over on the floor, and his sing
ing was lost to the world.
"Oh, what shall I do wife him ?"
said Mrs. Breezy. 81 never saw him
this way before, or at least, not quite
so bad"
Hello, old lady" said Mr.. Breezy
sitting up and balancing himself by
the side Of the coair. ""Y GU don't pear

waved his hands and limbs in a wild
way.
"Mr. Breezy, can you appreciate

standing at safe distance from her

resolute way.

desperate but vain attempt to gain

Csp:lve HummIng-Birds.

In the time of the Montezumas, hum.
ming. birds were tanned and kept in
large conservatorles. Doctor Upper
lien, of Cincinnati, tells Of two hum
ming-birds which strayed In May, a
year ago, into the house Of lady In
that city and were captured:
Tho lady, a friond Of birds, resolved
to try the experiment Of domesticating
the little creatures, although she was
aware that such attempts ended usually
IN the death OF tho birds. She had no
suitable cage SO she selected large
candy Jar, and fixed perch inside. In
the bottom she placed bouquet Of
flowers, and covered tho open end with
gauzc. The flowers were removed
every day. The convolvulus, tror pt-
lum, honeysuckle, and other flowers
with a long calyx were selected. A
littlo honey was dropped into every

tapped the honey with their tonges,

In short time tho birds wcro so
tame that tho gauze that confined them
was removed, and they dew about the
loom while their glass palace was
cleaned and furnished with fresh
flowers and honey but as soon as this
operation was finished thoy flew into
The glass again, and began eating the
honey. If the lady took nap after
dinner, lhep perchcd themselves upon
her forehead, and enjoyed their sicsLa

Tor hours, hauling for rest upon the

their feathers. For change, they
