One Of BurdeIc's Modern Fa-
bleS.

The little Base Ball rolled under the
tree and leaned up against II clump of
white clover to rest. "Well, am a
little tired" he said, with the air of
man who is pretty well satisfied with
himself and doesn't care who knows
how smart he is. "rm not very big in
circumference, but Pm busy and get
there in Il way to astonish humanity"
"What have you done ?" drawled the
East India Hammock, languidly, max
ing Il lazy effort to swing a little in the
evening breeze. "Done ?" said the
little Base Ball scornfully. "What
have done? Since o'clock | have
been at it. | broke the short stops
fingers, knocked the eye out of the
catcher, skinned the pitchers hands,
doubled up the umpire twice, drove
the wind clean out of the second base,
broke six paDes of glass and woman's
head in the schOOlhOuse, and knocked
IA spectator cold. What have | done
| haven't laid around all day, IA limp
mass of protOplasmic network" And
lie smiled in bitter triumph, as he thus
displayed his college training. "Never
mind" drawled the Hammock, ''do not
be discouraged. You are beginning
very well and will doubtless be able to
accomplish something when you are
older and have had more experience"
The little Base Ball, dumb with
amazement, fairly burst its seams with
wrath, but ere it could speak a strong
man, weighing 2Gl pounds, sauntered
under the tree and swung himself into
the Hammock. 1t was all done so
suddenly that the tree hadn't time to
bark. A swift movement of the Ham
mock, like the rotary whirl of Il buzz
saw, human form tossed into the air
like cork and hurled to the ground
with noise like the fall of IA bale of
hay on the deck of wharf boat, and
the little Base Ball was driven into the
ground like a fly in current cake.
"Alas :" it said, in the tone of a crushed
man, as it watched the moaning hu-
man limp painfully toward the hotel.
"Alas my pride is forever humbled.
| will never again sneer ut gentleness,
will never despise the hand of steel
in the velvet gauntlet again. His
swinging comrade laughed a mocking
laugh. "Similia similibus cure ranter,"
she said-''it is the mild power sub
dues" A smoshered sob, ending in IA
pitiful wall, was the only reply, and
the strong tree boughed itself to hear
the Base bawl.

A Rare Postage stamp.

A New York rag picker was paid
$500 for postage stamp which he
found while sorting over pile of waste
paper. 1t was one of the Old-fashiOned
kind, folded and turned iEA without
envelope, but had been sealed. In the
upper left-hand corner was dark
brown rectangular stamp, finely en-
graved, reading "Brattleboro, Vt, p
o., 5 cents,r with the initials "F. NJ.
P" in the center. 1t was cancelled,
and had the post-mark "Brattleboro,
w." to its right. Henry Collin, the
purchaser, has won the philatelic blue
ribbon by securing the rarest stamp on
the American catalogue, and that
means in the whole world. 1t is the
Onlycancelled Brattleboro stamp known
to be in existence. Eight nncancelled
stamps-"left-ove stock"-are in col
lections, and are classed as "gems'
At the last sale, where one was put up
auction, sit was given away for S275"
but IA stamp collector in Montpelier
who has one of the eight values it at
81 900.

The New York Tribune, which has
been making a study of the census
statistics and political almanacs, esti-
mates that the probable vote for the
presidency in November next will be
very close on ten and half millions
and may exceed that number. The
vote in 1880, using round figures, was
,220, 900 in a total population of 49,
Hl 900, and in a male population o.
the voting age reported at roundly IL,
57l 900 for the thirty eight states.

James Z. White of Springfield, Mass.
has invented and constructed "a mu-
steal instrument named the Harmon,
according To the Republican. The idea
OF 1t Is founded upon the notorious i'm
perfection of the accepted system of
uslc, which dividing the octave by
twelve and producing forced equali-
ty of intervals makes true harmony
quite impossible. Theories of more
perfect systems of chords have been
set forth elabOrately, and some at
tempts have been made ut ILLUSTRATING
them in keyboard instruments, but
none other so far as we know has
reached so satisfactory a point rs the
Harmon. Mr.. White divides the octave
into II cycle of 53, which he claims
produces the chords of the octave, the
thiId, the fifth and the seventh in far
more excellent tune than is possible by
the common system. The keyboard
is arranged in Il most ingenious fashion,
such as can hardly he described with
ont diagram the problem, of course,
is to arrange it with regard to the
reach of the human hand and Mr.
White has so skilfully set his keys that
the octave occupies but trifle more
breadth than on the ordinary key
board, although the width of the
manual of the Harmon is about twice
that of the ordinary key board The
Harmon now completed is less than
three and a half Octaves in compass
Mr.. White would not desire to super
sede any instrument or any system, if
he could; but he believes the instru-
ment he has invented is worthy of and
will receive place of its own. "Its
mission" he says, sis to produce har-
mOny and teach practically what har-
mony is: and it can play all harmonics
in all progressiOns and with all modu-
lations, but it is not expected to do so
with the melOdious, rapid flow of the
shorter and coarser cycle of twelve
tones.n Mr.. Whites labors are ap-
preciated by scientific men, particular
ly by mathematicians and physicists
engaged in investigating the laws of
sound.

VOLUNTARIOS.

No una, sino muchas veces, he
mos expuesto en- este periodico
la gran convenience de premiar
de una manera positiva los ser.
vicios que prestan a la causa
pdblica los benemeritos cueTpos
de Voluntarios de la integridad.
No hemos de resenarlos aho-
ra; basta con que Sc conside-
rem los grandes SACRIFICES pecu-
niarios que vienen soportando,
amen de otras incomodidsdes in
separables de su mission. La me-
dalla que honra va sus pechos
acredita sufcientemente esos SER
vicios y aquella necesidad. Pero
va diJimos que es precise el pre-
mio positive de tan patri6ticos
afanes. Nuestros hombres van
y yienen la Corte de Espana, y
1asta ahora NADIA han intentado,
8, al menos, NADIA han logrado en-
aquel sentido.
Mucho antes de ahOra hemOs
aspirado a que Sc aeuerde Ia
exencion de quintas para los que
sirven en- tan benemerito cuerpO
En- este sentido hemos escrito di-
ferentes veces, dando algnnas re.
glas concernientes a La consecu-
ci6n de aquella gracia.
Hoy volvemos a insistir, porque
hemos leido en- un peri6dico de
Cuba que Sc ha concedido va 4
aquellos hermanos nuestros la re.
ferida exenci6n, y es de e1peral
que, 81 Sc gestiona conveniente
mente, Sc haga extensiva a los
voluntarios puertoriquenos, tods
vez que, salvas algunas diferen-
cias, no esenciales, median iguales
razones para clio.
Hay que no olvidar que dicha
gracia levantara sobre manera el
esplritu de esos cuerpos, sin per-
juicios para nadie en- su extension,
pues claro es que no Sc podra
aplicar mas que a los capaces de
ella, que tienen, por fuerza, que
ser muy contados. Asi, ademas,
dejaremos de presenciar ell no
muy grato espectaculo de la talla
en- un pals que goza del envidia-
bic privilegio de la exenci6n de
quintas, de la tristisima contribu-
cion de sangre.
No creemos sea este pedir mu-
cho, nj NADIA que este fucra de
raz6n. Aunque nuestros compa
neros en- e. servicio no 10 necesi-
ran, nos parece que nuestros pa
tri6ticos gobiernos estan en- ell de-
Der de proporcionar a los cuerpos

mulo, y en- clio recibiran los pla-
GENES de cuantos Sc interesan por
