 A horse snorted.
 "What was that .' Puff-the light went out. Noiselessly he opened the door.
 He must be in there," some one said, in an undertore. "We'll go in at any rate, for how could he have escaped us SO easilyr'
 Old Cruger moved slowly to the corner of the house. Then reaching out and seizing a grapevine which hung from a tree, he climbed up into the dark bower of leaves. The officers entered the house and struck light.
 He's been here. Look at the bread on the floor !"
 "Yes," said some one else, and look at the Jug. Nothing in it, though. The old heathen has doubtless taken his night-cap."
 Old Cruger chuckled as he sat on a branch of the tree. "The old man is a little too sharp for lem, he unused. The dregs of that whisky must have been devilish strong. Makes my head swim"
 Leaning forward to sustain himself he caught handful of leaves. The next moment wild yell rent the nigh, air. Down he went among the branches down, but suddenly, with jar that shook the boughs of the tree, he stopped. The men below heard h,m struggling. No one would climb the tree. They would all wait for daylight. When morning came, horrible sight was revealed. Old Cruger's chin had been caught in the forks of the grapevine. His tongue, swollen and purple, hung from his mouth, and on his forehead, covered with the ooze of death, tree-toad sat.

4 FAILURE.

Cultivation has tailed to improve the appearance of the horned-frog. Educa- ton is great and should be compulsory, but when applied to the homed-frog. it is failure. A state land cemmiss;oner of Arkansaw, some time ago, purchased a horned-frog and spent much tims ia training his mind, but the highest degree of learning he ever attained was to crawl out of his box, hurry across the table, turn over the ink, and make black tracks on sheets q paper. A series of these tracks involved trouble. They were seized upon by railroad company and used as proof of an extensive land grant The state attempted to prove that the papers were drawn up and signed by a horned frog, and experts identified the foot-writ- ing of the rugged reptile, but the railroad company shrewdly insisted that the frog should be produced in court and com- pelled to settle the matter by producing a specimen of his chirography. Great interest was manifested, for the suit in- velved large sum of money, and when the attorney-general, bearing the frog on tin plate, entered the courtroom, a surging cheer arose, for the people were not in sympathy with the railroad com. pany.
 May is please the court," said the attorney-general, placing the tin plate on table, and taking the frog by the nape of the neck. propose to show that this paper which the railroad company de- clares confers to that corporation a vziu- able body of land, was drawn up urcon- sciously by this frog"
 The atsorney-general dipped the frog into saucer of ink and placed him on a sheet oi legal cap paper. The intensity of the moment was breathless. The attorney-general touched the frog with pen-holder. The reptile slowly shut his eyes, slowly opened them, and turned over. The railroad men cheered: the attorney-general turned pale the land commissioner groaned. The jury, com posed of honest gentlemen-strangest part of the whole affair-could not help but render decision in favor of the rail- road company.
 1t is now believed that education can- not reach the homed-frog that his in- tellectual freaks are likely to bring trouble to the educator. It is thought that the next legislature will take definite action concerning the matter.

GENERAL GRANTS book has not gone to press. The old gentleman is slow in producing copy, otherwise his book would have been printed and forgotten. As rule, great generals are not success ful literhy men. They may surround a subject and starve it out by long siege, or they may carry it by assault, still they do not compare fAvorably with the un. assuming man who has embraced litera- ture in obedience to the yearnings of a strong heart throbbing under the in- fiuence of buck sausage.

i. NANTES" OF GREAT MEN

The favorite stimulants of some sf the great ones of history are as follows; Bona parte used snuff; Byron's favorite drink was gin and water; Pope's, strong coffee: Mrs. Siddons', porter; Edmund Kean's, beef tea, cold brandy: w. E. Gladstone,s, an egg beaten in sherry; Miss Catley's, linseed tea and Madeira. Disraeli was fond of cham pagne jelly. Schiller used 10 si, over a table deeply impregnased with the smell of decay ing apples. He stimulated his brain with coffee and champagne. Lord Erskine and John Kemble used opium. Wedderburne, the first Lord Ashburson, used to place a blister on his chest when he had 10 make a great speech.-.Vesc York Dial.
 Not only the great men who have passed away but the great men of the present time are given to little oddities of habit which astonish persons who are carried by the dead swell of monotony through the routine of life. Many emi- nent men now living have little peculiar ities which astonish the ordinary mind the mind which does not know how fur lively genius sometimes induces a visit from that mysterious something which sits on the egg of great desire and hatches the thought of achievement. One of the well known governors of Arkansaw could not eat breakfast until he had drunk cocktail. Many of his most intimate friends could not understand this. and some of them admonished him, declaring that such eccenuicity was a weakness unbecoming a man who could hug negro just before the day of cleo ton. Several well known members ofthe Arkansaw legislature, would never go to bed until they had handled ivory :" chips" The judge of Crowioot county, whose writings are so much sought after by justices of the peace, cannot soar to sublime flights until he has removed a corn-cob from the mouth of an apoplectic vessel. Many such cases are recorded. Why, there were several men in this state who could not profess religion until they were sentenced to be hanged.
 Habit has much to do with this life. ldicsyncrasies develop early. Not far rom Little Rock there are several child ren that cannot go to sleep at night until they have been spanked; and within a few squares of the place where this highly intellectual work is in process of pesre- faction, lives a man who is SO eccentric that he will not pay q debt These are the more common forms of odd habit. The uncommon forms, even though they are under our own observation-Snd more trustworthy evidence should not be demanded but somehow it is-almost electify the human mind with a strong sense of unbelief The mayor of Rep vile cannot put on a clean shirt until he has swallowed . lizard. During the winter when lizards cannot be procured. he only wears one shirt. The president of the Faulkner's Lake and Cypress railway, when at table, always wipes his mouth with a Maltese cat; and, his private secretary insistA during certain changes of the moon, that water instead ol whisky should be drunk.
