Kellogg,

The fool-killer continues to absent him
self from the State of Louisiana. The
Bourbon governor is going to refuse a
certificate of election to William P. Kel-
logg, who was elected to Congress by
1000 majority according to the Bourbon
count. His mightiness says the Senator
is not resident of the district in which
he was elected. This would be no objec-
ton even if true, for the reason that under
the Constitution of the United States a
Representative is only required to live
in Me STATE. Well, this and the Chalmers
case are good for beginners. The De-
mocracy will be sent up for life in 1884
for crimes like these.

The Creation of Electric Forces.

A water-wheel, by being employed to
generate electricity, may light our rooms
cook our dinner, and ripen our peaches.
We can have light from it by which we
can work as easily at night as in the
day--a light which will neither consume
our fresh mir, nor vitiate 1t with foul
gases, nor smoke our ceilings and de-
stroy onr curtains; which eau set fire to
nothing; the globe of which can be
hooked to an mvalid's bed-curtain with
ont risk or attached to flexible wires
and taken into the most confined corner
to give light to workman, without
danger of fire. II would fill volume
to state ut length all the practical Ad-
vantages which this development of
electricity has opened up already, and
more than volume to state all that it
may be expected yet to accomplish.
Let it also be understood that while the
foregoing illustrations have been stated
in relation to water-power, they are
equally true for any other power, such
as steam-engine, gas-engine, horse
power, or human labor. The fixed en-
gine on Il farm can do the plowing hun
drcds of yards off. The gas-cngine that
pumps water by day, can light the house
at night. The horses that drag coal
carts for many miles to work steam
engine in some outlaying place, can be
used Mt home instead to work an electric
machine, with no loss Of time, and in
many cases with less waste of labor.
The convicts on tread-mill can be
doing work by it at any part of, or even
outside, the prison. In word, the
power for work can be generated by any
ordinary means, and at any place where
the means exist, and can then be econo-
mcally conveyed to the spot where it is
to be usefully applied without loss Of
time and practically in full strength.
The tide on the shore can do work in-
land the stream in the mountain gorge
can do work in the valley; the horse in
the yard or the man in the clubhouse can
do work inside the dwelling. And witt
all its power, and its universally of
application, this new servant which
science has supplied us with is the most
docilc Of menals. A touch Of n lady's
finger will bring into action II power
which thousand men could not resist;
another touch will stop its action or
reverse it in moment Bldckrood'S

Curious Bird Hatching

There is n bird in New Guinea which,
in the size of its eggs aud Its manner of
Matching them, must be considered cX-
traordinnry. 1t is not larger than one Of
our ordinary fowls, but its eggs are three
inches long by two and a-half in dame
tor. 1t does not attempt to sit on them.
A colony of birds lay their eggs together
in n large mound, IN the hottest part Of
the year, from September to March, and
lenve them to be hatchcd by the sun.
The mound is made Of sand, loose earth
and sticks and leaves, which latter, by
their decay, increase the heat. The
mounds are wonderfully large, being ten
feet high and about six feet In circum-
ference at the base, The young birds
come out at hole in the top. The
mother bird waits on the trees around
till her chicks are hatchcd and then
leads of her brood. How each knows
its own Is n mystery.

Cetevayo at the Pantomine,
From the London World j

CctcvayO, on January %, visited the
Cnpctown Theatre Royal, by permission
of the authorities, and witnessed the
pantominc of "rhc Fair One with the
Golden Locks" When it became known
that he was going to the play" II large
crowd assembled in Burg Street early IN
the afternoon, and awaited his arrival in
order to obtain Il peep at the potcnlatc
whose name Is now known far and wide.
Shortly before o'clock CctevayO arrived
In close carriage, accompanied by one
of his counsclors, his interpreter, and
another gentleman, The crowd greeted
him with hearty and long-cUntinucd
cheers. When the carriage drew up to
the box en- n.ranCe there was II general
rush, aud II was as much rs the police on
duty could do to keep the space on the
step clear to allow of the entrance Of the
visitors. The party was received by Cap
tain Roeburk, who took of his hat 10
Cetcvayo, shook him heartily by the
hand, and led him up the staircase. -
When half way mp he showed signs of
| timidity--not being used to COutrivanCes
of this sort In his native land--but Capt.
Rocbuck took him by the arm and con-
Quoted him to private box, to the left

IN almost unbr0kcn conversation with
the Interpreter, who had his work cut
out in explaining the various novel sights
which presented themselves to the gazc
of the fallen monarch. When the eur
tain fell at the interval, Captain Roebuck
| again appeared and conducted Cetcvayo
aud his companions through the bar to
| his private room, where they pnrtOOk OF
refreshments. The pictures hung In the
bar attracted his special attention, And
gave rise to an animated fire Of questions
and answers between the interpreter and
himself, The party returned to the box
| In time TO witness the transformation
scene, the sight of which seemed quite
to dazzle him, aud he gave vent to his
expressions 0f delight In most unqual-
incd manner, He sat through the per.

aud, on leaving the box and coming down
the staircase, found the lobby packed
with people, while large crowd surgcd

impossible for CeIevnyo to reach his con
vcyNnce through the front entrance, the
carriage was ordered round TO the pit

A MODERN WITCH.
"And he went MP in January,
And never came down TIL June"

And never came down I'LL june,
| think me oft in the twilight
OF Il lady and her hat.
The former was little vicious,
The latter was large and fiat.
The lady went to church, the play;
And wherever she went the shout
Went up from the many who could not
see,
~"Confound it! put her out"
She was not to be eXtinguished.
81 have paid" b" she said, "and I'll stay.
I'll wear that hat"-and she clenched hel
hand
"1ill the crack OF the judgment-day
III fasten it tight around my throat,
And pin it fast to my hair.
Let there come the dreadfulest hurricane,
The world shall still find it there"
There came a breeze from heaven
OF rather malevolent kind.
1t caught that hat, and took 1t up,
And the lady went behind.
Now, this was several years ago,
And all of them full Of pain;
For with nothing to ride she still sails on
And will never come down again
