AneCdOte Of Dayy Crockett.

The following is old, and we recOl-
lect seeing it in PRINT years ago, but
it will bear printing again:
Chr0ckett, while at Washington,
visited a nenagerie which opened
there for exhibition, and stopping
before the cage of Il huge babbo0n he
exclaimed. after gazing awhile upon
the grOtesque quadrumane
"BleSs me! that fellow looks ex.
actly like Tom - of Alabama"
naming an honorable member of
Congress from that State, then on
duty in Washington.
'Sir?' sounded an indignant voice
at his elbow.
DaVy turned, and beheld the very
same member whom he had liked to
the babboOn, with lady upon either
arm.
Really, sir" said Crockett, IL had
no idea that you were so near. Had
known it should not have spoken
as | did"
The honorable gentleman was irate
and in language slightly tinctured
with threatening, demanded an apol-
ogy.
80, certainly" replied David,
good naturedIy, Il am ready to
apologize. Yes-yes but" ana he
looked from the honorable member
to the animal in the cage and from
the animal back to the honorable
member, who by the way had never
been deemed ii handsome man-''re-
ally l don't know which / ought to
apologize to-you or the 6abboon.

NUMBER 40.

Superintended by one of the second
heutenants, and the work was done
hy carpenters, blacksmiths, and other
mechanics of the regiment. The ne
cessary light was obtained from four
electric lamps. This undertaking was
preliminary to the drill of the regi-
ment at KIauSdOrf, on August ODD,
23d, and 24Jl, when two companies
on war footing and one detachment
were practiced in field railway and
bridge construction. The course of
drill, including camp duty, consisted
IN tie construction of field railway
nearly mile in length, with several
SlhlngS and turntable the erection
OF a wooden viaduct, 36 feet high and
$50 feet in length, and the building
and testing ofa bridge of new design,
about 20 feet span. Three inclined
planes for rope lramways, and, a
quantity af telegraph and telephone
work were also accomplished. 1t is
thls lnce>sant, systematic and useful
dllIl which makes a German army
OF modern times SO formidable when
pltted against others that have not
had Il similar training.

The Ideal Mule.

No wonder the mule Is a kicker.

OF mule would be, A bay mule.
One Of these sad-eyed old fellows
that lean back in the breeching and
think. With striped legs like q zebra.
And dark brown streak down nv
back, and paint brush tail. And
my name cut short and my fOret0p
banged, and a head as long as -four
barrel, and Pa he worth two hundred
and half in any market, and I'd
wear a fiat harness and no blinders,
and some day when some man hitch
ed me up to a dray, and piled on q
ton half of pig iron, cord of wood,
six barrels Of flour, a good load of
household goods, and steamboat
boiler, l would start off with it pa
tiently and haul il steadily until 1
got TO the top of the grade on the new
road around North Hill, and right
abont there and then a falling maple
leaf, f1uttering down in a spark of
gold and crimson would scare me all
but to death, and the authorities
would have to drag the Mississippi
river six weeks to find all of that load
and some of that driver, while i'll
three minutes after the emeute l

grassy heights that smile above the
silver flowing river. That is the kind

captain was bringing the bird in a
basket to New York from his home
at Flushing. Suddenly the passpn-
gers in the ladies' cabin on the ferry
boat heard the wailing of an infant
proceed from the basket at the cap
tain'S side. As the sound increased
the passengers stared at Boypton,
who got red in the face aud gave the
basket Il gentle kick. There an old
lady became indignant and said
something about big brute" The
Kick seemed 10 arouse POlly'S feel

policeman.
"Captain," said the officer, "there's
an Old gent says you've got baby in
the basket"
"What nonsense !" said Boynton,
as a crowd gather, d 'and suppose |

"Well, it's curious way to carry
a child, and you'll excuse me if in

know"
"All right" said the captain, as he
cnt the cover of the basket open with

head out of the basket and yelled,
"POlly wants cracker !"
And now the policeman would like
to meet the "old gent" who gaye

A Small B ginning.

An Irish WaShprWOman who was
among the earliest settlers in Lead
vile, Colorado, has succeeded in
amassing large fortune by her own
industry. Her stock in trade when
she came consisted of a pair Of tubs
and a washb0ard. She began bust.
ness under an old pine tee on the
hillside, having no means of hiring IA
house. She soon, however, got to-
gether with her own hands a rude
slab cabin, and as business was good
at two dollars and IA half per dozen
for washing, she gradually began to
provide for her wants. She got a
camp stove, aud after furnishing her
cabin comfortably, began to accunu-
late money. The town began to
grow in the direction of her cabin,
and after awhile she employed labor
ers to put up log house. As there
was great demand for miners
boarding houses, this 'enterpriSing
woman concluded to abandon the
Washtub and start bcarding-hOuSc
IN her new cdificc. In the idea she
received great encouragement, and
the house was opened with flattering
prosl ects. In this venture she
proved to be successful, and made
money and saved it. BY the growth
of the city her house finally got to he

were laid out. it proved to oc uuy Il
location on IA desirable corner. Bus

THE BILL.
tits Not satisfactory, and is to
be supplemented.

New York, 15.-The Graphic'S
Washington correspondent says
there is great diversity of opinion
among lawyers in Congress as to
the practical value of Edmunds'
antl-polygamy bill. Haskell thinks
there is substantial merit in it, but
many republicans, like Burrows,
hold that it is doubtful if it will in
the end be effectual. 1t is feared
that the Mormons will eTade the
object of the measure by electing a
legislature of polygamist sympa-
thizers, even if actual polygamiSts
be kept out. Expressions of appre-
hensicn are heard also that
there is lack of provision for
carrying it into effect, in
regard to filing again certain
offices which it vacates under the
eighth section. 1t is understood
that the author of the bill, Ed
munds, apprehended some such de-
feet in the bill and intends to pro-
vide for it by supplemental legisla-
ton. He stated to a brother sena-
tor to- day that he intended to intro
duce two other bills providing ma
chinery to enforce this bill. If they
meet the approval of the Senate he
thought that all the defects will be
obviated. Burrows House bill has
been reported favorably from the
com mittee and Edmunds' measures
will probably be tackled on to it
rather than to have two bills indie
pendent of each other. Edmunds is
understood to believe that less an
tagcnism would be encountered by
measures separately or he would
have simplified the original bill. At
any rate if the bill passed is defec-
tive, the spirit of Congress is such
now that it will in all probability
be made effective before they are
done with it.
