The Power Of Hum bug.

An individual who opened a small
tavern near the field of Waterloo was
frequently questioned as to whether he
did OF did not possess some relics OF the
battle, and he invariably and honestly
answered in the negative. But he was
very poor, and one day while lamenting
to his neighbor not only his poverty,
but the annoyance to which travellers
subjected him, his friend cut him short
with:
"Well, make one help the other.
Make some relics"
"But what can l do?" inquired the
man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or yelling
ton entered your shop during the battle,
and sat down in that chair"
Not long after, an English tourist en-
tered the tavern, and, lnqnlrlng for
relics, was told the chair story. The
chair was bought at an incredible price.
The next conner was informed that Wei
lington had taken a drink, and the
Wellington tumbler was accordingly
sold. The third arrival gazed with
breathless wonder at the nail on which
Bonaparte had hung his hat; the fourth
purchased the dOor-posts between which
he had entered, and the fifth became
the happy purchaser OF the floor on
which he had trodden. At the last
advices the fortunate tavern keeper had
not a roof to cover his head, and was
sitting on bag of gold in the corner OF
a deep pit formed by selling. the earth
on which the house had stood.

United States Marshall Jack Wharton
does not seem very mnch troubled by
the $4,000 damage suit which is pend
ing against him in the United States
Court. The facts of the case are these :
a writ OF seizure and sale emanated
from the United States Court against
all the property belonging to Sarah F.
Stockton. The marshall seized the
Cedar Grove" plantation in the parish
of Plaquemine and placed a keeper IN
charge of it according to law. The
| plaintiffs in the present proceedings are
at the time of the seizure there were on
the place "a mules worth $75 each, $4,000
worth of implements and growing
crop worth $1,000. That the seizure
was illegal. That said Jack Wharton
illegally and maliciously appropriated
over one half Of the proceeds OF the
crop, etc. That said Wharton seized
the private horses of petitioners with
out authority of law. The fences on
the plantation We're allowed to go to

range OF the whole plantation. Cedar

was to have been married. How he
found his way to the balcony, or why
he was there, has never been ascertain

q thousand q year. To the last, the
nobleman believed he would recover,
and left this sum of money that his
protege might be in easy circumstances,
when he was re- possessed of his reason"

when Austin Sivory's arms were broken
under the wheels of Lord Arlington's

whose arms were bound, and whose face
showed great marks of care and sorrow.

q Snake story.

The wisdom and c%unning of the serpent
race have been affirmed BY every generation,
and no snake story has been too wonderful
to record. The following incident has the
double Advantage Of being true and of fur
thar showing the intelligence Of the snake.
DR.. Minnick Of the surgical Institute was one
day called to Carlisle, Indiana, to attend
| upon his Deice. Mrs. John Sproatt, whose
serious sickness arose from peculiar circum.
stances. A fayorite canary bird, whose cage
hung on the wall about five feet from the
floor, was seen to be qaivering as If under
some great excitement. Thinking the bird
was afraid Of the cat, Mrs. Sproatt hang the
| cage two feet higher on the newly made and
well plastered wall, but the next day the bird
| shook again as If in mortal terror. Sudden
| ly it gave a loud cry, ald upon examination
| snake was seen to have bored its way through
the plastering at the exact spot opposite the
perch OF the bird and to have seized the little
songster in q death grip. When the snake
had been killed and drawn through. into the
room a amalahole was also found where the
cage first hung, il the same relative position
to the perch. How the snake was able to To-
cate the exact position Of sIe bird must be at
tributed to serpentine instinct and accurate
hearing, or it must have seen the bird from
long range in the yard and calculated with
mathematical precision the exact spot ghere
the bird sat. The entire circumstances Of
the birds taking offf' SO shocked Mrs.
spxoatt that she was obliged to take her bed,
