Baby MOnke Us.

Monkeys when first born are almo 81
as helpless as human infants. Sleeping
and looking about and being nursed
occupy their first fortnight. The mother
is attentive, aud at the first sound runs
away with her baby in her arms. At
the end OF the first fortnight the little
one begins to get about by itself, but
always under its mothers watchful care.
She frequently attempts to teach It to
do for itself; but never forgets her go
licitude for its safety, and at the earliest
intiDation OF danger seizes it in her
arms and seeks q place OF refuge.
When about six weeks old the baby
begins TO need more substantial nutri-
ment than milk, and is taught to pro-
vide for himself. Its powers are
speedily developed, and in q few
weeks its agility is most surprising.
The mothers fondres for her off
spring continues; she devotes all her
care to its comfort and education, and
should it meet with an untimely end,
her grief is so intense as frequent ly to
cause her own death.
"The care which the females bestow
upon their offsprins," says Duvancel,
els so tender and even refined that one
would almost be tempted to attribute
the sentiment to 4 rational rather than
an instructive process. II is = curious
and interesting spectacle, which little
precaution has som stimes enabled me
to witness, to see these females carry
their young TO the river. wash their
faces in spite of their childish outcries,
and altogether bestow upon their clean
liness q time and attention that in many
cases the children OF our own species
might we'll envy"
NJ. d0sbonville states that the
parents exercise their parental authority
over their children in q sort of judicial
and strictly impartial form. 1.-THE
young ones were seen TO sport with one
another in the presence OF their mother,
who sat ready to give Judgment and
punish misdemeanors. When any
one was found guilty OF foul play or
malicious conduct toward another of
the family. the parent inserfered by
seizing the young criminal by the tail,
which she held fast with one OF her
paws till she boxed his ears with the
other"

LIghtnlng's Freak.

A gentleman from Paris, Texas, gives
the particulars of q strange and thrilling
event connected with the recent storm
which visited that place. While the
cyclone vas passing north Of. the place
the air seemed impregnated with cleo
tricity. The lightning descended like
an avalanche of destruction, doing great
damage. Trees. houses and persons
we're destroyed by IL. Wallace Hill, .
young man, was on his way TO the city
in . wagon, and when he reached the
suburbs the storm was at its
height Suddenly bolt Of lightning
fell from the clouds above upon him.
he was instantly killed. Portions Of
bis clothing we're stripped from the
body. But the strAngest phenomenon
was the fact that . branch of tree
under which he had taken shelter was
photographed across his breast in vivid
red. The work was perfectly done, the
branch Of the tree showing distinctly.
and the shape and delicate vein in the
leaves being plainly visible. The freak
has occasioned considerable comment
in the nsighboshood.

AlI,s We'll That Ends Well.

"All's we'll that ends we'll" would be
: very appropriate title for 3 little ro-
nance of real life which has ended
happily in Paris. The son Of q rich
gentleman residing in the FAubourg St.
GermAin had fallen desperately in love
with pretty, amiAble, but dowerless
girl. The course of true love ran
smoothly enough 80 long ~ the young
mans father was not aware of what was
going forward but when his consent
to the marriage was asked he fatty re-
fused TO give Il. A last meeting took
place, VOWS of eternal constancy we're
interchsnged, and the lovers separated.
The young lady, deeply affected by ths
parting. took thO rash determination
To drown herself and her sorrow in
the Seine, and about twilight one
day she carried ont her intention. A
gentleman walking along the quays
ct the time saw her struggling in the
water. and without moments hesita-
ton plunged in 10 the rescue. The
would-be suicide was saved, but The
most curious part Of the story is that
the gentleman who saved her chanced
TO be the father OF the man she loved.
The denouement of the affair can be
easily guessed. The stern parents in
flexible resolution 10 refuse bis consent
to the union gave way under the emo
tion he felt OF the drowning accident.
He conveyed the poor girl home, sent
for his son, told the delighted youn Q
people that they we're free TO take each
other for better or worse, and that the
wedding might take place as soon as the
young lady had recovered from the ef
fects of her immersion in the river.

81 Rattlesnake JOe."

IN old man in leather leggings, hunt.
ing sckst and tremendous boots, clutch
ing long rife in one hand, and q heavy
tin can under his loft arm, excited con-
siderable wondermens among the idlers
at tho Broad street station, ~ he
stepped from the smoking.car OF the eI-
press train from the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad, deposited his armload on
the station floor. a1d asked for the ad-
dress OF prominen. druggist. The old
mans hair, which had evidently been
whitened by the winters OF more than
the allotted threescore and ten years Of
life, was long, and hung in tangled
locks about his sho ulders. A heavy
beard hid his features, and he would
have made an excellent subject for q
portrait of Rip Van Winkle. In Cam
eron county, where this curious old
man lives, h is known as "RattlesnAke
joe"
He sometimes spends years in the
mountains without being seen by any
creature, emerging from his retreat TO
bring the fruits of his toll TO this city
in the old tin can he brought with him
on Thursday, which Was filled with
beautiful ber-colored rAttlesnAke
oil. His daily vocation consists in
catching the deadly reptiles, skinning
them, and reducing their fat to oil,
which is sold in Philadelphia and else
where for an almost fabulous amount.
The mountains OF Cameron county
swarm with the snakes, and with only 9
pair OF hard leather boots and q long
stick pronged like tripod, old Joseph
Martin goes out through the tangled
thickets OF the mountain side, seeking
the sunny side of old logs and small
rocks, turning over the one
and rolling the other down
the deep gulches, looking for the ven
omous rattlesnakes, which he pins TO
the ground with his stick; then catch
ing them by the back Of the neck with
one hand he cuts of the head with q
knife. His rife furnishes him with
daily food. The snakes are kept for
several days, or until enough have been
obtained TO hll an old pot at his hut,
when the fat is boiled down into oil. A
dozen rAttlesnakes will not make more
than n quarter Of gill OF oil, which is
used by physicians in extreme cases of
rheumatism, and upon very delicate
mechanical works, such As small and
valuable ladies' watches. Superstitious
people attach = great deal Of value to
rattlesnake oil in cases OF sickness, and
imagine that 1t viii cure all the ills that
flesh is heir 10.
Old Joe Martin, although not the
only manufacturer of the oil in this
State, Is the most famous, and il is
said that he has been on the mountains
in Cameron county for . quarter of
century. No one knows what be does
with his money. As he does not drink
he must have accumulated quite q
fortune by this time. A we'll known
lawyer Of this city, who has spent much
time fishing for trout in the neighbor.
hoa8Aoi Joe's hunting grounds, says
that there is an old story Of his having
once been very rich. he was crossed
in love, his confidential agent running
away with all his money and his sweet
heait as we'll, which drove him TO his
strange mountainous life. This is the
hrst Of backward season. Nexti-
