A Monkeys F ar Of Firearms.

He vas greatly frightened at q gun
that l shot off n day at some spar
rows. He hid at once in the straw of
his cage, and never left it till the gun
was hung up again. After that l had
only to touch the. stock, to make him
hide again, when nothing could be seen
in the straw, except a pair of sharp
eyes watching all my motions. just a
touch of my finger or a cane upon the
cock of the gun was enough to deprive
him of all quiet. 1 used to carry on my
watch-chain a little pistol, on which a
per~cussion-cap would make a tolerably
loud report. The monkey had not vet
found this out, and, sitting on my
knees, would amuse itself with licking
the silver barrel. One day in his pres
ence I put a percussion-cap on the nip
pie of the pistol. The monkey OBJ
served my movements with great atten-
ton, but without seeming disturbed by
them. But when the cock, being raised,
made two clicks, Molly dropped his
eyebrows, while lie continued sitting
quietly. When the explosion took
place, his fright was unbounded. Cry
ing loudly, and full of anguish, he fell
from my knees, ran across several
rooms, leaped out of the window, chung
to a water-pipe, slid down to the street
and hid himself in a ditch in q neigh
boring garden. His nervousness
lasted a long while, and I had to take
Of my watch-chain to appease it. From
that day he was in such fear of the little
pistol that to take hold of the chain was
enough to make him disappear in the
straw. But he very soon learned by
experience thatthe sonrce of the detona-
ton was not in the chain but in the
pistol, and could easily distinguish it
from the other appendages of the chain,
of which he was not afraid at all. Sit
ting on the straw in his cage, he would
attentively watch my movements while
l was handling these appendages. The
closer my fingers approached the for
midable object, the greater became his
anxiety, and with his eyes riveted upon
the instrument and with tense ears, he
would dance continuously in the cage,
all ready to 60 under the straw. He
would assure himself beforehand, for
greater security, that the cage-door was
well shut; and day, when the bolt
had not been pushed in, he leaped out
from the cage, which did not seem safe
enough for him, and went and hid him.

Lord Palmerston's country residence
is well known to have been near ROM
sew, Hants. In the course of his &C
customed rides in the New Forests he
saw a laboring man burning lime and
entered into a familiar conversation
with him, asking to be obliged with his
surname. The man replied that it was
Purkiss.- Now, this was the reply that
was sought, and Palmerston exclaimed:
al thought as much" He accordingly
asked the man if he were descended
from the lime burner of that name who
carted away the body of William Rufus
after his unfortunate fall by the arrow
of Sir Walter Tyrrel. The man an
swered in the affirmative. '.Then give

though you are a laborer, 1 must not
forget that you are a brother Hamp-

A GREAT fuss Is made in the east about outlawery Tn Arizona and the Territories, but here is little inci~- dent in old, solid, religious, law abiding Pennsylvania, about which the papers of the east have little or nothing to say. An exchange says:
 About midnight last night the gen. eral supply store of R. G. Mechlirg, in East Franklin township, was robbed. The thieves proceeded to back room where Ross Mechling aleeps. Mr. Mechling, who until this time had been sleeping, was awakened only to find himself con- fronted by one of the gang, who held a loaded revolver to his head, while another pressed Q sponge sat- urated with chloroform to his nose, the fumes of which soon overcame him.
 The thieves then went through his money draw CT and took everything of value, amounting in all to about $150. They then -carried his safe. to q small fatboat lying at the bridge, and Towed-to ca -small=islaad- it the. river called "Castaways' bar" where they blew the safe open and secured about $500 in money and valuables The safe was found this morning with all the papers and books une disturbed. After accomplishing this they returned to the shore and pro- ceeding to the stables, a short dis tance away, they stole horse and wagon, belonging to Mir Mechling, which they used to carry away their plunder.

SANTA Fk, Dec. 2O.4The railroad rreight war, which has been in pros gress between the Texas Pacific and the Atkinson, Topeka & Santa Fe for three months, and involving the haul from Missouri river points to Fl Paso, to-day assumed a new fea- ture of interest by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, cutting down .tberate Kansas City 10 Mesilla and Las Cruces, New Mexic5, from s3.65 ito $1 per hundred. The Texas sPaci- lie has been hauling freight from Kansas City to Fl Paso at fifty cents per hundred, and many merchants of southern New Mexico have taken advantage of the cut by shipping goods to Fl Faso and thence freight> ing by teams to their destination. This one dollar cut of the santa Fe company is constructed to mean that the war will be carried into frica, as far as New Mexican points are concerned A heavy cut in freight rates between Fl Paso and New Orleans is also reported here, the Morgan lines having reduced the rate to the unprecedented figure of fifty cents per hundred for distance of twelve hundred miles. The Texas Pacific is preparing to meet this cut in few days.

THE ILL HATED ASYLUM.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2o-The Brook lyn Eagle, extra, states that the fire marshal reports that twelve bodies have been found up to s o'clock this morning among the ruins of the burned St. Johns Home for children and workmen are still searching the debris. The utmost excitement pre- vailed in the vicinity of the asylum. The bodies are so chared and black ened that Identification IS impossi- ble. It is believed that most of the children who perished were IA the Josephine ward. Men engaged in excavating the ruins of the laundry found the remains of nine boys and two full grown persons. Who the adults were has not been ascertained, as the sisters are unwilling to be interviewed, but It is plain to be seen that their list of the inmates rescued does not come up to the full number
