The Panther's Leap.

A gentleman OF truth said this TO me
81 was in Canada some years since.
The family had just finished the usual
slaughter Of hogs and beef, and la
hung the beef against pile Of lumber
to cool off or freeze. A catamount (tht
Indian name in New England) crept out
in the night to ret piece. In pulling
down the quarter Of beef he upset the
pile of lumber, which came down with
frightful noise, and he made three tire

mark between them. | did not meas

A leap Of thirty feet perpendicular to
the branch of tree. or a forty foot
plunge after fatal shot, and falling
dead almost at the hunters feet have
been repeated until the yeracity is not
questioned, and after making all posi-.
BILE allowance, we must acknowledge
there is not a creature living whose LEAF

The question then comes up. How

The Flag at Mount vernon.

A particularly absurd story was set
afloat the other day by the news gather
ers of Washington to the effect that the
board of regents of Mount Vernon had
procured United States flag, and that
now for the first time in its history the
American ensign waved over the home
of Washington. AS a matter of fact, a
flag has flown from the staff on the lawn
ever since Mount Vernon has been in
the possession eff the patriotic board of
women who took it in charge and res
cued it from the dilapidation and decay
in which its owners and the State Of
of Virginia had suffered it to fall, and
the only reason why it was not placed
on the house was because the cuPola
was not strong enough to sustain the
proper staff. Furthermore, this flag was
desecrated by the Confederate troops
all the time that Mount Vernon was
within their territory, and no desecra-
ton of war took place within the home
sacred to the memory of the Father OF
his country. Recently the old flag hav-
ing become worn out, the Board of Re-
gents we're presented with new one,
and this was probably the origin of the
story. That Mount Vernon has not fall
en- to helpless decay and has been re-
stored to the semblance, as far as posi-
BILE, of what it was when Washington
lived there, has been due to the unre-
warded efforts and care of the ladies and
their successors who undertook the
work, and with inadequate means have
shown great executive skill as well as
patient attention.-Providenc Journal.

There is good deal of poetry in the
"short and simple annals of the poor
which seldom finds It's way in print.
The Hagerstown Globe, however,
rescues the following bit oft from obliv-
ion:
A little fellow from oneofour charitable
institutions was being taken to New
Jersey farm by an agent. The boy had
been bound to the owner of the farm for
term of years. The agent had notices
that the boy kept placing his hand III
side of his jacket on the left side, and
occasionally would peep within with a
tender look.
At last he said. "What have you got
in there, my little friend?"
"Oh, nothing, SIR" he replied; "only
a bit of my mothers dress which I've
sewed on my coat; it was the dress she
ad on when she died, and now it kind

ROYAL JOkerS.

The Grand Duke Constantine IS
loyal enough 70 Russia to resent any
testing at her expense. Hearing some
illusions among certain Germans and
French officers to the national habit OF
candle-eating," he invited them to dine
with him. The officers, greatly tiattered
all accepted an invitation:
The banquet proved to be fit for prin-
ces, until between the entrees, course
was served on golden platter, of UNI
mistakable tallow candles. The dish was
presented to Constantine, yuo took one
and ate it with great gusto, and the
guests were Obliged to follow his exam
pie.
The tallow choked and nauseate |
them. filed their mouths and chung to
their teeth. After the duke had suffic-
iently punished them, he broke into
loud laugh and showed them that his
candle was made of some harmless
sweetened composition, favored with
vanilla.
ROYAL Jokes are not always delicate or
refined, and the worst point about them
is that they must be borue in patience.
Frederick Of Prussia had an unpleasant
habit when he saw his children or guests
regard dish with eager anticipation, OF
splitting into it in order to watch their
disappointment and disgust.
Napoleon, who could when he saw fit,
show great tenderness and tact, was as
coarse as a boor when in an i'll humor.
He compelled the ladies and gentlemen
of the court at set times to pass before
him in long procession, paying their
homage in turn; and it was his delight
to hurry them numerically, as if they
were flock of sheep. shrieking with
laughter when they TIPPED over each
other.
Ola different spirit were the Jokes of
poor George I'LL, who, when most i'm
beetle, was always kindly. Az English
family in PENNSYLVANIA still retains a
tradition of how the old king stole out
on one occa sion from his prison at Kew,
and trotted along the streets until he
met their grandfather, then school
boy, and hungry after the manner OF his
kind.
The king took him into tart-shop
and treated him to all the dellcacleS OF
the pastry-cook.
"Now run home, my man." he said,
''and tell your mother you have been dim
ing with Mr. Rex. And here's a gold
piece for luck. But mind, ;" with sacred
glance around 'you don't tell Mrs.
Rex"
The distance between loyalty and
other classes of humanity is too great
for that light, kindly, touch-and-go-in-
tercourse on which jests are based Hence
the king when he would amuse himself,
is tempted to practical jokes on his in
feriors. We are not apt to remember
how chilling is the height of isolation on
with roya. personages dwell, nor how
disagreeable that Loneliness would G 70
most of us, in which we could never give
nor take a Joke. There are compensa-
tions for a lacking crown.
