An Instructive Dialogue.

Schurz, on the Independent movement. ]
think 1t will be great success.
Mr.. Schhrz--i hope so, and l have no
doubt oft
Mr., Hendricks-I would not have ac.
cepted the nomination this year if 1 had
not been cheated out of the election in
1876. That was the greatest fraud ever
perpetrated in politics. For four wears
the Presidency, the Vice Presidency. and
all the Cabinet offices were filed by men
who had no more right to the positions
than L have to a house belonging to
another man.
Mr.. Sohurz-I am opposed to Blaine be-
cause am in favor of reform in the pub
lie service, which l am satisfied cannot
be obtained by his election, and which
can be obtained by the election of the
Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Hendricks-That is very true. hut
we must make the fraud of 1876 the great
issue of the campaign. Nothing can be
more important than to rebuke the theft
of the Presidency and the Cabinet Offices.
l hope, Mr.. Schurz, that you will impress
this fact deeply upon the public mind in
your speeches. Tell the people to remem-
Der the great crime of 1876, by which the
Presidency and the Cabinet offices were
stolen from us.

But now ms wife seriously abiufed
him to wish for something at last.
"Now, that you have a wish to be
granted" she said, ''you slave and
toll, and are content in everything.
You might be King, Emperor, baron,
even a gentleman farmer with chests
overlooking with gold but you don't
know what you want"
''We are young and life is long," he
answered. There IS only one wish in
the ring. and that is easily said. Who
knows but some time we may sorely
need this wish? Are we in want of
anything? Have we not prospered, to
all peoples establishment since we
possessed this ring? BE reasonable
and patient for awhile. In the
meantime, consider what we really
ought to wish for"
And that was the end of the matter.
1t really seemed as if the ring had
brought a blessing into the house.
G~ranaries and barns were full to over
flowing and in a few years the poor
farmer became a rich and portly person,
who worked with his men aield during
the day as if he, too, had to earn his
daily bread but after supper he liked
to sit in his porch contented and COM
Portable, and return the kindly greeting
of the folks who passed and wished HIM
a respectful good evening.
So the years went by. Sometimes,
when they were alone, the farmers
wife would remind her husband OF the
magic ring, and suggest many plans.
But as he always answered that they
had plenty of time, and that the best
thoughts come last, she more and more
rarely mentioned the ring, and at last
the good oma ceased speaking of it
altogether.
To be sure, the farmer looked at the
ring and twirled it about as many as
twenty times a day, but was very care
full never TO wish
After thirty or forty years had passed
away and the farmer and his wife
had grown old and white haired
their wish was still unasked, then
was God very good to them, and
on the same night they died peacefully
and happily.
Weeping children and grandchildren
surrounded the two collins and Is one
wished to remove the RUG from the
still hand as a remembrance, the oldest
sol said
"Let our father take his ring into
the grave. There was always a mys-
terry about it; perhaps it was some dear
remembrance. Our mother too, SO
often looked at the ring-she may have
given it ITO him when they were young"
So the old farmer was buried with
the ring that was supposed to be awish-
ring, and was not; yet it brought as
mach good fortune into the home as
heart could desire.

Birds Badly Mixed.

This is a peculiar season in many re
spects, and adopts in weather-lore lind
themselves somewhat embarrassed to
interpret all the ''signs" in harmony
with any one theory. The birds are
especially mixed, delegations from the
Hudson's Bay and from the Carolinas
showing themselves together, and the
indications therefrom are about what
each prophet chooses to declare. Purple
flnches and warblers that usually go
South in the winter have been seen
here frequently of late, and cedar birds
and red cToss-bills are also unusually
numerous for the season.
With them have come hocks of gros-
beaks, whose habitat is in the Hudson's
bay region, and their advent is creating
considerable interest. They are very
tame and are quite easily caught with
a net and pole. They also adapt them
stlves to confinement quite readily, and
make a pretty house-bird. They are
nearly as large as the robin. The male
has a head, breast and rump of red or
crimson, and this color is notified with
black or dark slate ON the back. The
wings are slate or black with two trans
verse bars of white. The female has a
body of dark slate with wings barred,
and the head and rump lightly touched
with a yellow bronze. The beak IS
short and blunt like a sparrow's. Quite
"A number have been killed for use by
taxidermists, and others have been
caught and Gagged.

Inc WINGED OoIN.--IaAe a coin with
a hole in the edge and attach it to a
piece OF white sewing silk, at the end
Of which Is a piece of elastic cord
about twelve inches in legth. Sew the
cord to the lining OF your left hand
coat sleeve, but be careful that the end
of the cord to which the coin is at
tacheI should not extend lower than
within two inches of the end OF the
sleeve when the coat Is on. Having
done this, bring down the coin with
the right hand and place 1t between the
thumb and the under finger of the left
hand, and, showing it TO the company,
tell them that you viii give it to any
one present who will not let it slip
away, You must then select one OF
your audience TO whom you prof1er the
coin, and Just as he IS abOnt to receive
it you must let it slip from between
your fingers, and the contraction of the
elastic cord Will draw the coin up your
sleeve, and its sudden disappearance
will be likely to astonish the would-be
recipient. This feat can be varied by
pretending to wrap the coin in a piece
OF paper or n handkerchief. Great
care shonld be taken not to let any
part OF the cord be seen, rs that would
be the means of discovering the trick.

each Oh the projections on this
piece of coral is a separate individual
They gather together in a hemisphere
cal form at first. Only those on the
outside of the lump of coral are alive;
the rest within are dead, and so it
grows. Between two coral animals a
third one grows, and when one gets
bigger than its fellows a branch begins
to grow. The sea rolls in and brings
them their food. n natural breakwater
ground of a coral reef is stronger than
any that can be made by the hand of
man, for the stronger the sea that beats
upon it the more food is brought for
the coral animals to gather with their
little tentacles. The bottom of the sea
is smooth, and by means of a net
dragged along all kinds of living things
can be brought to the surface.

Good Bye to You.

a traveller for q Detroit wholesale
grocery house was the other day
making a trip between two northern
county towns with a sleigh when II of
the horses was taken sick and he drew
up at a farm house and inquired if he
could put the animal out and rest him
until he recovered.
~''You can" replied the woman, 'but
| want to warn you in advance that L
have run away from my husband on two
different occasions-Once with a droYer,
and once with a mapseller."
"Well, what of it?"
you'll find out as soon as the old
man comes up from the slashingl He'll
think you are after me, and there1l be
a row."
"Oh, | guess l can explain matters
to him."
'Don'ty you wait to explain nothing!'
she continued; hell go for you with
out a word, and if you can't wollop
him he'll give you the worst licking
a stranger ever gotI"
The horse vas too i'll to go on, and
the agent had no recourse but to stay
and face the music. He was at the
BAN, rubbing the animal down, when
the old man suddenly showed himself
at the door. Waiting just long enough
to draw a full breath he made a break
for the traveller. The latter dropped his
wisps of hay and felt of the farmers
right y in a way that laid him fiat.
He got up and came again, but was
received with a singer on the jaw, and
as he went down the traveller got him
by the throat and held him fast. BY
and by when he dared let up a little,
he explained:
81 was forced to stop here and take
care of a sick horse"
"Well, that's all right" replied the
farmer. LET me up and I'll help rub
him."
lie was assisted to his his feet and
went to work with considerable heart.
By and by he went to the house and had
his eve bound up, and when supper was
ready he insisted that the travelershould
eat with him. Not a cent would he
take when the latter vas ready to go,
but extending his hand he said:
stranger, I've licked seven
different men who stopped here within
the past six months, and it kinder does
me good to get knocked under the
benchesl Next time you come this way
stop and give me an hours lesson.
Good bye to YOU"
