AnIntoxicated Nfonker.

The feats of the traditional bull in the
china shop, says the London Standard,
were thrown into the shade on Saturday
in Paris, one of the hotels on the boule-
wards being the scene of the highly anus
ing spectacle. A creole family, who
arrived a few days ago and alighted at
the hotel in question, brought with them
a monkey from the colonies for the amuse-
ment of the children. In an unguarded
moment in the afternoon the mischievOus
animal was left alone in the dining-roOm,
where the remains of a good repast were
still on the table. He Immediately fell to,
and, in imitation of his betters, took
sundry pulls at the wine bottles, his pre-
ference finally resting on that which
contained champagne. The effects of the
stimulating beverage soon told upon
JockO, and under its influence he began
to jump about as no monkey had ever
jumped before. The mischievous element
in his nature also became unduly
developed, and he seized and flung about
everything on the table. The noise of the
crashing chinaware and bottles brought
the owners to the spot in great alarm, and
a gentleman who happened to come into
the room first was Just in time to receive a
sauce-boat at his head. With the help Of
the servants the excited monkey, which
belonged to the smaller varieties, was
soon mastered. The last seen of the
Quadrumamus was at the dining-room
window Of the hotel, which opened on TO
the boulevard, where a crowd, attracted
by the noise, had already congregated,
and muscular chambermaid had hold of
the creature under her left arm, while
with her right she administered cOndign
punishment upon its unlucky frame.

Old Hickory's . Manners.
HGrper's tor JHlu,


For the social life of Washington the
President had one advantage which was
altogether unexpected, and seemed diff
cult of explanation by anything in his
earlier career. He had at his command
the most courteous and agreeable man.
ners. Even before the election of Adams,
Daniel Webster had written to his broth
er: "Gen. Jackson's manners are better
than those of any of the candidates. He
is grave, mild and reserved. My wife is
for him decidedly" And long after, when
the President was to pass in review before
those who were perhaps his most implaca-
bic opponents, the ladies of Boston, we
have the testimony of the late Josiah
Quincy, in his 'sFigures from the Past"
that the personal kbearing Of this obnoX-
ious official was most unwillingly APP
proved. Mr.. Quincy was detailed by
Gov. Lincoln, on whose military staff he
was, to attend President jackson every
where when visiting Boston in 1888; and
this narrator testlties that with every pre-
iudice against Jackson he found him es-
sentially "a knightly persOnage-preju-
diced. narrow, mistaken on many points,
it might be. but vigorously a gentleman
in his high sense of honor and in natural,
straightforward courtesies, which are
easily distinguished from the veneer of
policy Sitting erect on his horse, a
thin stiff type of military strength, he
carried with him in the streets bearing
of such dignity that staid old Bostonians
who had refused even to look upon him
from their windows would finally be
coaXed into taking one peep, and would
then hurriedly bring forward their little
daughters to wave their handkerchiefs.
He wrought, Mr.. Quincy declares, ga
mysterious charm upon old and young;"
showed, although in feeble health, a
great consideration for others, and was
in private really agreeable companion.
1t appears from these "reminiscences that
the President was not merely the cause of
wit in others, but now and then appre-
ciated il himself, and that he used to listen
with delight to the reading Of the "Jack
Downing; letters, laughing heartily
sometimes, and declaring: ''The Vice
President must have written that. De-
pend upon it, Jack Downing is only Van
Buren, in masquerade 1t is a curious
fact that the satirist is already the bet
ter remembered of the two, although Van
Buren, was in his day so powerful as to
preside over the official patronage of the
nation and to be called the 'sLittle Magi-
cian."

A HALF-D0ZEN WELL FED MILLIONAIREs
were Iounging at the Windsor Hotel after
a late supper the other night cracking
jokes and telling stories TO amuse them
selves. / sat doing in neighboring
chair, when accidentally overheard one
Of the party relate how Commodore Gar
risOn was won by his present wife. The
story is not unrOmantic in its details, and
is pointed REPUTATION concerning the end
which the old saw credits fate with haY-
ing in store for "whistling girls etc.
According to the narrator, whose name in
Wall street is synonymous with lucky
ventures, the date Of the romance lies half
a dozen years back Of the present date.
The scene was Long Branch, where the
Commodore had gone to rest after the
winters excitement on the street.
He took suite Of the best
rooms in the rev Of cottages
which are an annex Of the main hotel
establishment, calculating that he would
be a little removed from the noise and
confusion Of the public house. 1t was
for few days as he had fondly antici-
pated. Then the family Of John N. Ran
dali, OF st. Louis, took possession Of adj
joining apartments. They numbered half
a dozen persons, including a whistler.
Through the thin partition the Commodore
heard and was annoyed by the
IL
evaporation. There was a boy in the
Randall party, and, Of course, the veteran
blamed him for the noise. Randall,s enior,
was an acquaintance Of his, and one day
the Commodore determined to speak to
him as they sat chatting on the yeranda.
THAT boy of yours will be the death Of
me, John. Won't you plug his mouth,
just to please mef''
sob, it isn't the boy" replied Randall,
Shut my daughter. Here, Letitial A
lovely girl OF twenty responded to the
call, and was presented to the Commodore.
She whistled for him that evening to a
piano accompaniment, and it was no
longer irritating to him. They were mar
ried in the ensuing October. His wedding
gift was 81, 000, 900 in sound securities. In
no season since has any belle at Long
Branch been dressed or diverted in a more
costly manner than the fair whistler.
A new musical society has Just
been organized and incorporated here.
1t is called the "New York Music Fes-
tival Association of the OratOrio and
symphony Societies" and its object is
to "give at regular intervals music
festivals on a large scale in the city
Of New York" The first festival win be
given in the spring Of 1885. NJ.

VITTORIA.

Great melting eyes, and laughing lips
Ger which the soft Italian tripss
Loose clouds Of dusky curling hair,
Sweet dimples lurking everywhere,
An olive skin as smooth az silk,
And pearly teeth as white as milk
vittoria did you call her uames
Like victory it sounds, and fame.
On many a proud and sanity page,
By sister fair or abbess sage,
The pretty name is shining now,
A star that CLEANS from history's brow
Come, Alice, Edith, Mary, Bee,
And dream Of Venice BY the sea;
For there this dainty maid was born,
Where white doves circle night and morn,
where swift gondoIas fash and glide
Across the pulsing mOonllt tide
She does not need our daisied parks
Beneath the shade OF old st. Marks.
Perhaps ron think she'd ike to hear
What run you've had this very year
How you have searched for flowers in May,
In summer tossed the new-mown hay
How you have climbed the mountain crest.
And peered INTO the eagles nest.
The little one will listen while
You speak with fitting blush and smile;
Then she VIII 20 and feed her birds,
And COO TO them in silver words.
The happy 1angOur Of her race
Is in her proud patrician face.
Venetian skies are calmly blue;

STORIES OF THREE ANIMALS
The Strange Doings of a Hen, q Roos-
ter and an Ancient Turtle.

The Strange DOings of a Hen, q Roos-
ter and an Ancient Turtle.
When the cyclone struck Waterbury
the'other day, says the Waterbury Conn. J
american, A. H. Beach was the owner of
hen, with brood OF five chickens six
days old. He also possessed a rooster.
The wind knocked the coop over, killing
the hen and two of the chicks. When the
clouds rolled by the rooster surveyed the
deadly field with fatherly eye, and ex-
hibited unmistakable signs of grief as the
mOtherless trio of chicks were screaming
with fright and loneliness. Finally he
began to chuck after the manner OF the
departed hen, called the little chicks
about him, fed them, and eventually took
them under his wings, and has ever since
brooded and cared fol-. them affectionately.
He swells up and scolds exactly like a
hen on the approach Of an enemy, and in
every way conducts himself in hem
mother style. Hundreds OF curious peO-
pie have visited Mr.. Beach's premises to
witness this phenomenal mother, who
still shows no signs of backing out of the
character he has voluntarily assumed.
Mrs. Hattie Clark, of Bridgewater, has
a strange pet. 1t is a large and hand
some rooster, fine specimen of the Ply
mouth Rock breed. He walks majesticaliy
into the kitchen, and when told to 90 TO
his place he perches upon the back of a
certain chair. If asked whether he is
hungry he will crow in reply. r.. feigns
death, the same sss educated canary birds,
anu Wnen stroked with the hand and
cal'I ''pretty fellow be evinces great
pleasure and struts almost as proudly as
a peacock. He also stands sentinel at
the chicken cOops, and will drive away
all hens that seek to steal a bit of the
chickens feed. In a word he is an edu-
Gated rooster.
Not far from Bonair, where Arab re-
sides, says a correspondent of the London
Times, there is huge and ancient turtle,
owned by Singalese gentleman, who re-
ceived it as an heirloom. The turtle is
about four feet long and nearly three
wide, and its owner told me that the most
aged persons around never remember it
to be smaller. 1t is vaguely said to be 100
or 200 years old. 1t bellows like a bull
when thirsty. Its happiness is to have
its fiabby neck scratched by its keeper.
1t is too old to snap at anything, and is
totally blind. Children used to ride on it,
and a hole is bored through the shell,
through which they were wont to spur
their steed when he became torpid.
