"The Mooking Bird"

According to Washington cores pondent an old attache of the White House relates the following incident: ''The first time The Mocking Bird was ever played, ] believe, was by the Ma rine Band. It was during Buchanan's term, and his niece, Miss Harriet Lane. presided with grace rarely equalled at the White House The leader of the band had requested Miss Lane to allow him to dedicate the piece to her, and she had consented, inviting large com pany to listen to the first rendition. The band leader, following the programme, first presented Miss Lane with card, on which was painted mocking bird and the inscription, STo you The composition was played in splendid style, and 1 have never heard it since but what that scene was recalled. I can see Miss Lane bow her acknowledgements again and again, and almost hear the murmur of applause from the assem- blaze. The flavor of that evening hung about the band concerts for many a day."

HnH Thev Talk.

1 heard an interesting discussion at dinner about OFT so-calied first families in New York, in which one of the first families was talker. was surprised to learn that the names of people one sees so often and hears of so often in society papers were so very new fifty years ago.
 .'When I was a girl,n said Mrs. First Family, ''they were not talked of at all; we knew them as respectable bour- geoise, small merchants who had come from France and settled here; as for being social stars and laying claim to famiIy-they never did, and any at tempt at it would have been simply ridiculous"
 ''Then Philadelphia is not the only place where society is bourgeoise," said lady from Philadelphia.
 ''Is Philadelphia bourgeoise?" said, Mrs. First Family adjusting her glass.
 "Hopelessly."
 "Ah, we had heard the contrary in New York-but one can never tell. Do they affect an adjustable democracy?'
 'sSuch as would batfle the keen sar-- casm of Irene Magillicuddy to de-, scribe.n
 "Then do you mean to say that not all the ancestors of Philadelphia society people were men of fine parts, intel lectual lights, and of high birth and breeding?"
 No, on the contrary, with a half dozen exceptions, they were good, hon. est, sturdy, respectable grocers and shop keepers"

aff1iction. He attended fashionable entertainment. paid his respects to the hostess and then approached an indi- vidual whose face struck him as famil- far. Grasping the gentleman by the hand, the near-sighted man said: "Ex- cuse me, sir; your face is familiar, but | can't place you, somehow. l am sure I've seen you before, sir" "Very likely, sir; 1 am one of Augustine's walters, was the deferential reply.
 T tell you what it is, fellahs,' yawned Adosphus I'm making an awful commotion among the girls. Only wanted little fun, yer know, but deuced if they arn't all falling in love with me. 'Pon honor, I believe I'm getting into hot water, yer know" Do you?" said one of the girls who chanced to overhear; ''well, perhaps it will have the same effect upon youas it does upon the lobster" Il say, Martha" ex- claimed Adolphus, turning about, '.you'r re deucedly sharp, yer know. but blamed if I know what you're driving at now" "Oh, nothing,n replied Mar till they get into hot water"
 MT. Burgess, of Hartwell, Ohio, had boy. MT. Zerbe, of the same place, had similar boy. MT. Burgess boy played with young Zerbe, and one day painted one of the wheels of old Zerbe's buggy a bright red. The rest of the buggy was black. Old Zerbe got mad and painted young Burgess a bright red. The paint filled the lads ears, matted his hair and closed his pores. He near ly died. Old Burgess tried to admins ter a physical castigation to the perpe- trator of the outrage, but old Zerbe proved to be the better man and old Burgess came out second best. The neighbors took an interest in the affair and were going to paint old lerbe with tar and adorn him with feathers, but they didn't. They want old Burgess to shoot him, and perhaps old Burgess will do if

Done for the Children.


 The New York Tribune, during the last summer, gave from week to week the history of the effect which country life, and the unwonted kindness shown them, had upon the children who had been sent out of the city into the coun- try by the ''Fresh Air Fund" But even that alert journal could not tell any thing of the pleasure and glow of healthy feeling that had been produced among the thousands of children and grown people who contributed the money.
 The contributions came from all parts of the country; from happy parents whose children were still with them, and from those whose children had left them forever; from poor and rich; from old men and from babies who saved their pennies to keep other babies alive.
 In one house, where the father sent 6 cheque for large sum, the children held fair in the woods and made ST. A poor little colored boy on the place. hearing the story of the boys in New York who never had seen rabbit. brought 25 eents-his savings for a month-''to send out dat ar poor fellah, an gib him real coon hunt"
 The children of Sunday school in New York city asked that their contri-- buttons for foreign missions might be diverted to this purpose. You see,' exclaimed one of the boys, ''we're so' much better acquainted with inc shoe blacks in Broadway than the shoe-blaekss ill Siam mn-which was accurate in rea5- oning if not in fact
 One poor seamstress who supported 3 blind mother and drunken husband sent dollar, with the wish that she "could afford to give more in memory of the dear babe she had lost"
 Never was there, perhaps, an act of charity which blessed so largely both those who gave and those who received as this, which has given beautiful high meaning to the summer just past.

A Candid Mercantile Confession.

The mercantile agency is great ir- stitution- It exercises a maternal care over the interests of merchants, and it's effect on the trader on the brink of in. solvency is as q bomb shell from the British fleet in one of Arabi's forts. Those agencies have printed circulars which they send to parties doing busi- ness, to fill out, and return to them. The questions in those circulars are of a decidedly pointed character, for the mercantile agency is not modest in it's search for informations A few days ago one of these firms sent circular to a gentleman doing business at certain seaside resort, and received their blank promptly filled out. Each question had large pile of interrogatories after it, and few of the answers will give an idea of the veracity and promptitude with which the agency's curiosity was satisfied. After some inquiries as to business, age, etc., the agency asks:
 How much did each partner contri- bute at starting!''
 Answer: Nothing"
 "Did any of the partners ever fail in business?"
 Always"
 ''When, and where, and in what form?''
 Whenever any firm would trust"
 Amount of stock on hand?n
 ''One quart of whisky, seven cigars, and three bottles of sour claret.
 Then the agency inquiries under the head of liabilities:
 Owing for merchandisee"
 Answer: More than tongue can tell"
 ''In what month do you usually take an account of stock?''
 ''When the moon is at its full"
 With whom do you bankr'
 William Briggs and Harry White"
 Names of principal creditors and amount due each?''

 There are few men in business who would be so candid with mercantile agency. And the strangest feature of this remarkable document is that it is true in every particular.-San Francis- co Call.

Brave Boys at Niagara,

Last week party of Germans stop ping at the Frontier House, Suspension Bridge, among whom was Merits Wit mer. a wealthy brewer from Sexton, Germany, visited the Maid of the Mista landing for the purpose of taking bath. At this point, it will be remem- bered, the current is very rapid, and to one not accustomed to the place it ;s perilous to venture in. MT. Witmer, knowing nothing of the waters depth, or the swiftness of the current, got out too far, and would have been carried down the rapids but for the timely as sistance rendered by two lads named Henry and William Rodgers, sons of MT. Henry Rodgers, of the Canadian Customs House at Clifton, who arrived upon the scene as the man was sinking for the third time; the boys seeing the man in danger at once jumped into the water, and after hard struggle succeed ed in rescuing him. William was the first to reach the drowning man, who grasped him by the neck with a death grip and drew him under. Henry had by this time reached the scene, and, diving, managed to release the drown ing mans hold of his brother, after which the boys succeeded in getting him ashore, the whole party being thorough ly exhausted. Witnesses of the affair say it was one of the most gallant res cues ever performed on the Niagara River.-Nidqdrd Falls Gazette.

Speaking of cigarettes, sensible writer in Harper's Weekly remarks: We ought long ago to have made it as easy for boy to learn to drink as it is to learn to smoke. What is needed is some means of supplying boys with whisky in small quantities, and with its fiery and objectionable taste partially con- cealed. We should have whiskyrettes as we'll as cigarettes. With their aid a boy could easily accustom himself to whisky, and make fair progress toward becoming an able and successful drunk ard without once experiencing the un- pleasant sensations which sometimes so thoroughly disgust the youthful drinker as to induce him to entirely abandon all hope of learning to drink.
