man to find out that the cuckoo never
built nest, but always laid her eggs in
other birds nests. Do the boys know
that when horse crops grass he eats
back to him, but cow eats outward
from her, because she has no front teeth
in her upper jaw and has to gum it ? The
boys have seen many a white horse, but
did they ever see white colt? Do they
know how old the twig is that bears the
peaches, and how old the vine that has
the grapes hung on to it? Do they know
that hop vine winds with the conrse of
the sun, but bean vine always winds
the other way? What timber will bear
the most weight? what is the most elias
tic? what will last longest in water, and
what out of water? what is the best time
to cut down trees for fire wood? how
many kinds Of oak canyon count up that
grow in this region, and what are they
specially good for? How does bird fly
without moving feather or Tapping a
wing? How does snake climb tree
or brick wall? What is the difference
between deer's track and hogs track,
and how often does a buck shed his horns
and what becomes of them? Which

chimney or funnel, and ought it to be
wider at the top or draw in? Books are
a wonderful help, but man ought not
to be satisfied to 60 through life and be

Senator Fairs Sins.

The excitement of yesterday over the
reported attempt of young Jimmy Fair
Fair to lay his senatorial Pc out in the
cold embrace of death has somewhat
subsidized. To-day Col. Fair denies that
the boy is in town, and says he has been
at Paso Robles Springs, 25O miles south
of here, for q week. Mrs. Fair confirms
this, but declines to say anything further
about the difficulties in the Fair family.
The scandals thus let loose are not new
by any means, and until the sensation Of
yesterday were not openly talked Of, but
it is known that the senator and his
family have been more or less at logger
heads for couple of years past. The
trouble consists chiefly in the somewhat
open way that "Slippery Jim" Of the
millions violates the teachings of the
seventh commandment. While the sem
ator was running the bonanza mines and
lived in Virginia City, New, these short
comings were, to degree, concealed, but
since he has come out in the world, and
especially since he went to Washington,
the senator is alleged to have displayed
the cloven foot in all it's moral hideous-
ness Coupled with countless infdelities,
the burly senator is said to be especially
abusive and neglectful of his wife, who is
most estimable lady, but one who does
not show disposition to suffer in silence.
She is portly lady, with flashing black
eyes, and a will of considerable horse
power, and when the senator gets caught
in some new piccadillo she has way Of
sultrify,ng the air about his head that
leads to sulphurous remarkA On occa-
sion like this the senator himself turns
accuser, and charges the good lady with
unseemliness of conduct, which all who
know her believe to be false. When the
senator gets very wroth, and very reck-
less of speech, he even intimates that
John Mackey has more influence about
his (Fairs) house than he has himself
On one occasion, just after the senator
had taken his seat in congress, Mrs. Fair
went to Washington Unexpectedly, and
there found, it is alleged, that the senator
had set up little establishment, which
though small, might have been the envy

Manner and Manners.
Lady HIude, IN Home Journal.

Lady Hilde, IN Home Journal.
Beauty is generally considered as the
most seductive and irresistible of social
graces. Yet even beyond the fascination
of beauty may be ranked the charm OF
manner, and the brilliant interchange
of thought between refined and culti-
waited intellccts. Manner may indeed
take the first place among social gifts,
for it has an ethical value as refining
influence in all grades Of life. 1t pro-
notes harmony, softens acerbity of
temper, and difiuses calm joy over the
home circle; while in society it DOM
mates as no other gift or grace can do.
Beauty may often have fatal power to
draw souls earthward, and conversation,
with all it's wit and bElliancy, may be
used to vitiate the moral sense; but
manner is ever noble and ennobling, be-
cause based on the two great moral prin-
ciples-respect for ones self and respect
for others.
Manner exists as an heirloom among
some races, as the Celt, the Slav and the
Arab. The courtesy of the Celt appro-
aches reverence, and the Bodouins have
the calm majesty of desert Kings. All
the Latin races generally have singular
grace of idiom and gesture, but the Teu-
ton is naturally uncouth and rough.
John Bright, in one of his eloquent ad-
dresses to workingmen, says, with truth,
that manners, far more than pomp or.
luxury form the chief differences between
high and low, rich and poor, the noble
andthe ignoble.
If the uncultivated classes could be
trained into habits of mutual courtesy
and politeness, if they were made sensi-
BILE on the moral beauty Of gentleness,
forbearance, self-respect and reverence,
there would he less of the hideousness of
coarse language and brutal selfassertion
in their ordinary intercourse. Manner
is royal grace that we are accustomed
to associate with high rank and high
breeding, but it may dwell in the cottage
as in the palace; and it has this advant-
age-that, while it can beautify all life, it
costs nothing, and never generated an
evil thought or word.

The Early Bird.

II is pretty well settled now that the
very early bird doesn't come after the
worm; he comes before it. And, by rea-
son of this very previousness, he gets left
right along, year by year. 1t is one Of
those l,ls,v naturae, in which the bird
loses his nature, and nature in return
loses bird.
Amid the rough-and-tumble of the
February and March tumult, there ap-
pears now and then, each year, a soft and
balmy day. Its sky is gentle, the faint
est of sweet odors are in the air, and the
south wind that brings them whispers to
the lsafiess trees the promise Of the com.
ing summer. It is welcome sound. In
such day, man wisheshs had a medium
overcoat. Not having it, he goes out
without any, and comes home to die
generally of pneumonia. On such day,
all of sudden and without warning, the
early bird appears. There is nothing
under the sun for him to eat. The crust
of the earth is not digestible. The insect
world is frozen in or under it, and there's
not q worm to be seen exceptsuch worth
less ones as we.
It is q peculiar situation for a bird to
find himself in. Indeed, in boarding
house parlance, he can't "find himself" !"
and 80 he is generally lost. The appear
ance of the early bird is signal as infal-
lible as any that the government hangs
out. It is q direct notification that we
are about to have tremendous change
of weather, and that it is to come OFT cold,
with snow and sleet, and the general de-
vastation of misplaced winter. The bird
disappears. Sometimes his dead body is
found in the snow; but oftener the flu
neral is private AS in the case of nearly
all wild animals, except cats. Few OBJ
jects are more rare in nature than dead
creatures. In some mysterious manner
they are got out of the way; all except
cats, which usually die in the middle OF
the highway, and lie there until they
have impaired most of their strength to
the road-bed and passer-by.
So it is that the early bird meets hia
fate. Where he comes from is as little
known as where he goes to. He is the
bright part of the bright but unseasona-
BILE day that he comes with, and with it
he passes away into the lost past. The
moral aspects of his career are clear
enough without elaboration. His error
lay in being ahead of his time. 1t was
fatal. 1t always is.

of Ismail Pasha, ex-khedive of Egypt.
All it needed was a half-dozen eunuchs
and chibouk or two to make it harem

of Ismail Pasha, ex-khedive of Egypt.
All it needed was halfdozen eunuchs
and chibouk or two to make it harem
complete. This was an occasion in which
the gossips say the excellent lady rose
equal to the emergency. She didn't say
anything to the colonel just then, but she
laid her plans, and in few days, with
the aid of trusty friend and several
pounds of moral dynamite, she invaded
the seraglio, and the inmates fed to
New York with the feetness of wild
young gazelles of the plains. Thefierce-
ness of the explosion broke the colonel
all up; but he fell back on his ancient
privilege of abuse, and adopted new
course, too. He shut down on madame's
base of supplies. The lady wanted to re-
turn to San Francisco and plaster up her
lacerated feelings. The colonel swore he
wouldn't give cent, and he didn't.
Then she said he needn't; she would
borrow all she wanted from his friends.
She had some money, and with that she
started with her children and servants.
Her money took her to some point in
Nevada. There she tackled the first
friend of her husband she met, and got
money to bring her home.
With such relations existing between
sthe parents, it is not surprising that the
son, James, junior, should be . little hard
to manage. OF course, boy-like, he stands
by his mother, and he has before shown
a disposition to espouse her cause in
muscular way. He is wild youngster,
and seems to aim at the distinction OF
being known as "terror." Some time
ago his father, to separate him from some
evil companions of the female persua-
sion James is chip off the old block,
sent him on a tour around the world,
with Joe Marks as tutor and compagnon
du voyage. Now Joe himself, is chap
that forgot to 60 bed years ago. He
knows how to line stomach with chick
en- livers and champagne better than a
bricklayer can line an oven; and as for
the fair sex, he can scent the boquet of
millefeurs clear across the Alps. The
boys laughed when Joe set sail with
Young Fair as chaperon and moral in
structor. But little is known here of the
tour. The old man drew checks till even
he got tired, and then called the boy and
his "tooter" home. Since then young
Jim has kept his excesses pretty well out
of sight of the public, but unlessa change
for the better comes he will hardly reflect
credit upon his illustrious sire, or take
very good care Of the fortune that awaits
him. The colonel and Mrs. Fair are now
separated. The lady, with her family,
resides in the San Francisco mansion, and
the senator has taken mp quarters at the
Occidental hotel,

could publish Ingersoll's speech, it
wouldn't do any hurt for poor little
boy, who amt knee high to giraffe, to
speak it in school, but they made me dry
up. The teacher is republican, and
when Ingersoll was speaking around
here on politix, the time Of the election,
the teacher said Bob was the smartest
man this country ever produced. I heard
him say that in corcus, when he went
bumming around the ward settin' 'em
up nights, specting to be superintendent
of schools. He said Bob Ingersoll just
took the cake, and I think it was darn
mean in him to go back on Bob and me
too, just cause there was no lection. The
school committee made the teacher stop
me, and they asked me if did't know
any other piece to speak, and l told them
I knew one of Beechers, and they let
me 60 ahead, but it was one of Beecher's
new ones where he said he didn't believe
in any hell, and afore I got warmed up
they said that was enough Of that, and I
had to wind up ON "Aary had Little
LAM" None of them didn't kick on
Mary's Lam, and went through it, and
they let me 90 home. That's about the
safest thing boy can speak in school,
now days, either ''Mary had Little
LAM" or Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
That's about up to the average intelleck
Of the committee. But if boy tries to
branch out as q statesman, they choke
him of. Well, l am going down to the
river, and will leave my coat and hat
by the wood yard, and get behind the
wood, and you steer pa down there and
you will see some tall weeping over them
clothes, and maybe pa will jump in after
me, and then l will come out from be-
hind the wood and throw in a board for
him to swim ashore on. Good bye. Give
my pocket comb to my chum," and the
boy went out and hung up sign in front
of the grocery, as follows: "Pop corn
that the cat has slept in, cheap for pop
corn halls for sOciables."

A Story About Webster.

Philadelphia Times Warrington Letter.
Eyes, knew Mr.. Webster well," re-
sponded a gentleman of mellow years
and spirits, when inquired of concerning
the great New Englander, and what has
been said of him reminds me of an Incl
dent, which with others Of a similar
kind I have heard, gives pretty good
idea of one of his traits relating to finan-
ces. Mr.. Choate was in Washington at
the time. He and Mr.. Webster were
almost as brothers. One day Choate
needed $500, and he applied to Mr.. Web
ster. Five hundred dollarsp says Mr..
Webster. No, haven't it at this mo-
ment, but I will get it for you, Choate.'
The latter was glad to hear it, and would
wait. Draw your note said Webster,
I'll sign it and bring you the money.
While yon are about it make the note
for thousand; thousand is as easy to
get as five hundred Mr.. Choate said
that $500 was all he needed. I'll take
the other five hundred said Webster.
The note was drawn, and Mr.. Webster
taking his cane, went into the avenue.
Good morning, Mr.. K, good morning.
said he, as he entered the great banking
house which was the fiscal agent of the
government. Good morning, MI. Secre-
tary,' said the great banker in the bland
est manner. What is it I can do for vou
this morning, Mr.. SecretaryT Mr.. Web
ster was secretary of state at the time.
"A little favor for my friend Choate. He
wants little money and I told him I
thought could get it for him. A thous-
and, believe he made his note for pass
ing the paper to the banker. There was
no such thing as hesitating, much less
declining, and 80 the banker was only
too happy to accommodate the head Of
Mr.. Filmore's administration. The gold
was laid out in two equal piles at Mr..
Webster's request. Putting one in each
pocket, and with one of the bows which
Mr.. Webster only could give, he depart
ed. Here, Choate, here ia the five hum
dred, said the great expounder, entering
where Choate was waiting. Handing
him the gold, Mr.. Webster resumed his
reading where he had been interrupted
by Choate's entrance"
The narrator of this incident did not
reccollect much about the sequel. "Both
are dead, you know" said he. "They
were great men, and value their auto
graphs highly"
