the whole country, and especially
from that of New York, Chicago
and San Francisco. Their recent

Their speciality, "Stolen Kisses,".

We are indebted for the coming of
this troupe to Los Angeles to Mr..
Charles s. Wood, who is indefati-

undoubtedly be followed by other

from time to time, should their
pecuniary experiences be success
full. We look confidently for rous-

man, who formerly lived in this city, re-
turned after an absence OF two years,
and in duty bound called upon num-
Der of his former acquaintances. He
stepped into the store of well-known
trader and was familiarly and cordially
greeted. and after short chat he said:
Il have met with sad bereavement
lately.'' Indeed! what has been your
trouble?'' asked the trader. Il have
lost my wife," replied the poor man;
'sshe died about ten days ago. Here is
an obituary which the editor of the
Blank wrote" and he pulled from his
pocket newspaper, and unfolding it,
pointed to workable obituary. i added
a few lines myself he continued, for
she was a good woman, and Smith
obituary does her no more than justice"
Il presume you are right" said the
trader, s'and the loss of ones wife is in
deed q bereavement. You have the
sympathy. undoubtedly, of all your
friends" Eyes, but it is poor consola-
ton after ALL said the widower, with
solemn visage. Finally the subject
was changed to one of q more cheerful
character, and after few moments
talk the trader said, but what, may /
ask, has brought you back to LowellP'

A Dose of Rats,

On the fourth of March, late at night,
Mr.. HumistOn, of the Seaside Hotel,
was awakened BY noise which impress
ed him with the notion that burglars
were attempting to break into his house.
He got up ont of bed, seized his revol-
Ycf, and went searching about the various
rooms, to meet the supposed intruders,
and defend his castle as best he might.
The noise still continuing, and he not
discovering its origin, he descended to
the basement, where he soon perceived
the cause of all his apprehensions. just
out side of one of the south basement
windows he discovered musiSrat Wig
orous1y gnawing on the window-frame,
eudeavoring to make his exit from the
deep area way into which he had gotten,
and from switch he could not escape.
Mr. III. watched the muskrat's operations
for a while with interest, and saw him
pick up stone with his fore paws, and
sit down on his launches, in an erect
posture, close to the window, and draw
the stone close up to its breast. and strike
the pane of glass repeatedly until it had
broken a moderately-sized hole in the
pane. Hr. II. is a man to be believed,
and, incredible as il may seem, he will
verify this statement.
While on this topic, which relates to
the exercise of the reasoning faculty of
the brute creation. am reminded OF
statement made to me by nv brother,
who once witnessed an operation of two
house rats which evinced an ingenious
exercise of the reasoning faculties, quite
out of the way of ordinary observation.
He saw the two ratson the top of a hogs
head of molasses, and while one of them
was backing near the, bung-hole, the
AL /. fo,1 n
lasses, and then advancing, drew out
his tail besmeared with mo1asses, which
the other. rat licked off. After while
he saw the rats change places and repeat
the same operation for the benefit of the
other rat.
Another instance. Some wears ago
tavernkeeper in Wethersfield was wont
to say that he saw two rats going to-
gether from his tavern towards the Con-
snecticut River, each holding the same
small straw or stick in the mouth. side
by side together. Curiosity led the land
lord to follow them to the water, where
he saw the one drink water. and after
his thirst was assuaged he saw them re-
turn together to the tavern in the same
way, with the one stick in the mouth of
each. The landlord saw this same OPP
Grafton. repeatedly, and felt greatly in
terested in understanding the case. So
one day while the two rats were proceed
ing to the river, as usual, he frightened
them SO that they dropped the stick from
their mouths, and one rat easily made
its escape, while the other was as readily
captured. 1t was stone blind, and the
discovery of this fact furnished an in
slant solution to the joint stick arrange
ment.
Most of us are familiar with the sym-
pathy rats feel for their fellow-rat who
has been SO unfortunate as to get caught

Teachings of the Orthodox Astronomers

The most interesting discovery recent
~ in the astronomical world is the evil
dence of life and actions in some of the
volcanoes of the moon. A writer IN the
New York Sun stated a week or SO ago
that there might be discerned by the
naked eye during the augmentation of
oer satellite, particular bright spot,
never seen before. appearing on one, OF
the limbs, shining by light of its own,
and beyond doubt indicative of volcanic
energy If this be true, and there is no
reason to doubt it, fundamental teach
ing of most of the orthodox astronomers
is hopelessly upset, for they have always
taught that the moon is dead planet,
without water. atmosphere, vegetation,
or living principle of any kind-not even
any partof her radiance her own. Some.
however, have thought differently. Prof
nounced positively that he thought he
could discern lunar edifice resembling
fortifcation and several lines of road.
"a telescope which magnifes about 100
times will show spot on the lunar sur
face whose diameter is. ], 223 yards. and
one which magnified 1000 times will en-
able us to perceive any enlightened OBJ
ject on her surface whose dimensions
are only 122 yards, which does not much
exceed the dimensions of some of our
public edi6ces. as. for instance, the Cap
itol at Washington, or st. Paurs Cathe-
dral. - CBurritt. The celebrated Schroe-
ter was always of the opinion that the
moon was inhabited, and his writings
are very valuable and interesting. He
published the conjecture, founded upon
his observations, that there was probably
"a great city on 1.-The east side of the
moon, a little north of her equator, an
extensive canal in another place and
fields of vegetation in another"
The notion that the moon or any other
body in the system is dead is repulsive
to reason and experience, because we
know that life in some form or another
exists in everything in nature, and this
is why the teachings of the most of the
astronomers on this point have not been
generally accepted. There is certain
good sense on the part of the mass of
the human race which is worth Imore
than scientific judgment. Experience
has also shown the great infallibility of
the latter. For how many years was it
asserted positively that the planet Mars
had no moons? Now we know, since
the discoveries of Prof. Hall, that he is
no longer '.moonless Mars The best
astronomers, like the best physicians,
are content TO acknowledge that their
science is but in its infancy. -Baitsnaor

"Give It to Him, Old Gimlet Eve"

This courtroom scene occurred in the
early DAYS of the State of Vermont,
when school houses were used for court
houses, and log stables were used for
jails.
The Circuit Court was held at Berk-
shire Center, when old Judge Ham,
mond, who was remarkable by his haE-
ing a crooked eye. presided. The case
on hand was one of trespass, and had
attracted full house. Everything went
on smoothly until the old Judge began
tc charge the jury, when he was rather
severe on the defendant. An eccentric
person in the crowd, who did not realize
the dignity of q courtroom, jumped up
and said, .sGive it to him, old gimlet
eyes" The old Judge rose, and in q
voice of thunder, said. ..Who is that dis
turbing this court?'' The eccentric per-
son replied, 1T IS old hoss.n Then says
the Judge: Here, constable, take that
old boss and put him in the stable. -
The consequence was the court had to-
adjourn till afternoon in order to
straighten the faces of the officers and
jury. !
This story was told by a venerable
Judge who had in his younger days
studied law with the ..gimlef-eyed' =
Judge.

The Difference.

A friend read to Mr.. VIM. NJ Evarts
the statement of a newspaper that in re-
ply to the question, what part of the
turkey will you hayep'' Mr.. Evarts
answered that it was ''quite inconse-
quential to one of his recognized abstem-
iousness and supersensitive stomachic
nervation whether he be rendered an in
ipitesimal portion of the opaque nutri-
ment of the neither extremities, the SUI
perior fraction of a pinion, or snowy
cleavage from the cardiac region" Mr..
Evarts said that thiswas an attempt at
condensing one of his dispatches, pro-
testing against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Turkey. 1t was founded on an incident
which occurred at one of his Thanksgiv-
ing dinners at home Il had a roasted
New England goose, well stuffed with
sage, with plenty of apple-sa,ce and the
usual Accomplishments. AT the close of
the meal l said: My children, you now
see the difference<betweent the condition
of affairs before and after dinner. You
then saw q goose stuffed with sage; now
you see sage stuffed with goose"
