An Intelligent Bird.

In Germany the stork is very familiar
sight. The female stork usually builds
her nest and raises her young in the tower
of village church. The birds are never
harmed, hence they return every year. 1t
is customary in Germany to appease the
curiosity of children in regard to any in
crease in the family by telling them that
the stork brought the newly-arrived little
stranger, and the young children implicitly
believe the legend.
One morning the head of a family said
to his little boy:
''The stork brought you a little brother
last night"
Eyes, know it already" replied the
boy.
'How did you come to know it?"
81 heard you tell the stork just as he
was going to fly away that he had better
take your umbrella as it was rainingn

A Dull Agent.


During the illness of the President OF a
New England cotton mill his son was sent
to Washington on some private business,
and when he returned he enthusiastically
announced:
Father, Pve made big thing for our
milan awful big thing"
"What"
SCOT contract to supply the Indian
Department with half million yards of
hickory shifting. 1t is to go by weight
and we can use a quarter of pound of
starch to the yard"
"Mad youth! where were your wits"
groaned the old man. t'Had you got a
contract for blue jeans we could have
worked in pound of glue to the yard and
scooped in the pot!"

Now that it is no longer possible to
manufacture statements regarding Til
denis purposes respecting himself, inter-
views are beginning to appear with per-
sons who claim to know Tilden's choice Of
those who are candidates for the Chicago
nomination. A Missouri Democrat claims
to know that Tilden prefers Cleveland. A
good many people would like to know
where and how the Missouri man got his
information. 1t is more than probable
that Tilden has expressed no choice. If
he has, it is hardly probable that he would
whisper his preference in the ear of a
Missouri man rather than contide in those
who maintain intimate political relations
with him in New York.

The wheat crop Of the United States for
the present year is estimated at $4,000
900 bushels. 1t is difficult to conceive the
magnitude Of this estimate. If all this
wheat were arranged in a long box one
foot deep and one foot wide it would ex-
tend four times around the world and the
end would lap over three or four thousand
miles, or it would form a pile five times
as large as the greatest Of the Egyptian
Dvramids

The most talented prevaricationist OF
the age undoubtedly lives IN New Orleans,
and writes for the Times Democrat. Some
week or ten days ago that paper contained
an account of the discovery of wonder
full phenomenon in that city-Jerry Hib-
bets, a boy who has been actually burning
for nearly three years, and who has nom
plussed the ablest physicians and scien-
lists in the land. The last issue of the
Times Democrat contains the melancholy
announcement that the boy has incinera-
ted himself and that nothing now remains
Of him except shapeless mass of charred
flesh and bones. His death came about in
this horrible manner: "His mother having
to come uptown on important business,
left his aunt, who is stranger here and
unaccustOmedto the peculiar ways of little
Jerry, in charge of him. His aunt accord
ingly proceeded to dress him up, when
he at once broke out in flames. She
not knowing what to do, screamed Justify.
This brought in the neighbOrs, who, in
fright, began throwing water over the boy.
AS a natural consequence the blaze in
creased and fed on the stream Of water
cast over him until the heat became so
intense as to cause Jerry to double up in
agony. AS soon as this connection, made
by the touching of his head and feet was
consummated, he was instantly and en-
tirely consumed" Truth crushed to earth
may rise again, but when it is not only
trodden under foot but burned to a crisp,
there is little hope for its ever recovering
its wonted vigor, especially if the above
mentioned writer should be anywhere in
the neighborhood. He had better begin to
repent, lest he should one day become
burning shame himself.

William H. Vanderbilt reached New
York Friday night by the steamer Eros.
OF course he was at once surrounded by
an army of brokers and newspaper re-
porters who were anxious to get his views
about the panic and the Blaine-Logan
nomination. His replies to their many
questions were highly satisfactOry-to
himself. He said: II have had a pleasant
trip, and am very glad to be back home
again. Whether these remarks will
cause stocks to GO up or down, or add to
or detract from the Republican vote, it is
hard to tell. He says he is going to spend
some time at Saratoga this summer, and it
is probable he will not make any very
strenuous efforts in the near future to
gobble up what little wealth is left outside
his immense treasure vault.

There has been a good deal of specula-
ton respecting the item apprOpriating
$3.50. 600 to the secret service fund in the
diplomatic appropriation bill. 1t has been
said that it is TO be used to suppress dyna-
miters in this country, but this statement
is secuted as unworthy of belief. The
general impression is that it is to be used
to purchase Of Capt. Phelps, Gen. Beale,
Gen. Grant and others the concession they
hold from the State Of Guatemala for an
inter-oceanic canal. A Washington cor
respondent says: s'The scheme is that the
United States Government shall construct
the inter-oceanic canal at an expense OF
about $40, 900, 900, and shall own it, with
strip of territOrya mile wide ON each side,
after il is constructed, subject to the laws
of the Central American Republics,
through whose territory it will pass. The
United States Government being the
owner, is to have the right to close the
canal against the ships Of hostile nations
in time of war; and it is thought that in
this way the United States may set up an
effective opposition against the French
canal of NJ. Lesseps, and also against the
pretensions Of England and their conse-
Grafton in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty."
II Grant and his associates succeed in
getting a quarter of a million dollars for
what has cost them only about twenty
thousand dollars, they will show them
selves to be much better fnanciers than
