MIR. HENDRICKS shows himself to be
the "wise politician which the New
York Tribune has declared him to be. lie
does not inilict long letter upon the
suffering public in hot weather, because
what he might have to say he finds in
the platform Of his party, or has already
embodied in previous letter of this
kind With becoming modesty and dig.
nifty he accepts the position rendered
him because 1t comes with the good will
Of his party; but IL the Republicans
think he has no opinions on the ques
tions which enter into the campaign
they need only possess their souls in pa
tence until he makes his "openin(
speech in Indiana. Should any of then
then desire to grapple with him, they viii
doubtless be accommodated as cheerful!
as was Mr.. Garfield in 1850, or Bill
Chandler few aeeks ago.

Lord Houghton said, at the dedication
of the Burns monument in LoudOn, that
he bad the privilege of being ono of the
judges to competition of poems written
on the centenary of Burns. He went
through a great deal Of verse written on

great deal OF it very detestabe. What
was moro remarkable, however, was
that what was good was not very re.
markable but among tho hundreds OF
poems that were sent in from all quarters
of the world, in some that were utterly
unimportant as a whole there did occur
lines Of real inspiration which We should

lr is very doubtful whether tle scheme
proposed by Mrs. Parnell for making the
Irish vote aunt fOT the party that inserts
in its platform a strong anti English plank
has the approval Of the great Irish leader.
Viewed in every light the movement is an
unwarrant ablo interference in the political
affairs of country abundantly able to
take care of itself aud it has besides for
its object the solidifying OF the Irish race
and keeping it aloof az a separate class
for political purposes. Irish Americans
should remember that they are first citi-
zeus of the United States, and they should
resent any attempt TO array them as a
foreiga class in country whore it is most
proper that the races should amalgamaso
with as little friction as possible.

Beaten BY q Star.

The other morning. says the Free

jewelry entered the Office of Detroit
capitalist and introduced himself as
William Lorenzo Smith, formerly of
New York, but just at present resi-

Very likely, but must refuse to

"Do you take me for dead-beat?"
asked the young man.
"Oh, no, but if l were in Your place

The Brahman's Terrible Mistake.

Some shocking tragedies have oc-
cured in the Sibsagor district of India.
A travelling honarie jeweler arrived
late one evening at the house of a
Brahman with whom he had slight
acquaintance, and displayed his wares.
The Brahman, after making some pur-
chase, offered to put him up for the
night. The offer was gladly accepted,
and it was arranged that the jeweler
should sleep on the floor in the room
occupied by the Brahman's son, the
Brahman and his son occupying the
other room. While preparing to
turn in the honarIe heard the sharpen
ing of dao. and fragments of a con-
versation being carried on between the
Brahman and his wife. Suspecting
foul play, he induced the son to change
places with him; and, as soon as the
former was asleep, placed u dummy
composed of a bundle of clothes on the
bed, crept quietly out, and ascended a
tree at the back of the house. In about
half an hour he heard the dao doing
its work, then eXclamatiOns of disap-
pointment at finding no plunder, short
" followed by a cry of anguish at the
discovery of the mistake the murderer
had made. From his place of conceal
ment the jeweler then saw the Brah-
man come under the tree with hoe.
Here he dug grave in which he bur-
led the body of his son. At early dawn
the ieweler descended from his hiding
place and gave information at the
nearest thanna. The police found the
body under the tree, and arrested the
Brahman, whose trial comes off at the
next aSsiZeS.

Flies and Swallows.

The moral feelings of animals being
interesting as their intelligence, per-
haps the readers of Nature would care
to hear of a curious instance that just
now witnessed of fellOw-feeling in the
common house-fiy. A number of them
had collected in the top of a window,
out, when | saw wasp seize one as L
have seen many seized this year, but
never before, though have often seen
them feed greedily on manned bees.
The wasp was about to sever the head
from the body of his victim, when q
fiy-by no means a large one-fiung it
self violently against the captured one,
trying apparently to knock it away
from the wasp it did not attack the
wasp.
This was done again and again,
whether by the same fly or another
could not tell, the action was so rapid;
at last the body of the fly was knocked
away, but the wasp retained the head
and devoured it. 1t then grasped an
other, and again a fly dashed at it, and
another, and another, though they were
all evidently afraid of the wasp; and no
wonder; it seemed very fierce and hum
gry. The action of the flies was quite
unmistakable. l called another person
| to watch it with me, and she was as
much surprised as | was, and inclined
| to kill the wasp; but l thought we
could spare few flies, notwithstanding
this unexpected discovery of fine feel
ing in them, and would not let her
disturb the balance of nature.
l was once a delightful witness of a
still more curious instance of fellow
feeling in some young swallows. Six
of them were sitting on low roof, and
were being fed by the old bird, who
flew by from time to time, and put
something into one or two of the open
beaks. Each time, as soon as they saw
the parent coming, which was some
time before l did, they all stood up,
whirring their wings and chattering;
all, that is, except the last but one, and
! that seemed to be weak and unable to
rise, and so got nothing. At last the
two that flanked it, after great deal
of chattering over it, managed to raise
it up by putting their beaks under its
| little white bosom; and then and there
the dear little brotherly things wedged
| it up between them with the prettiest
air of compassion and patronage, 50
] that it had a fair chance with the others.
And it seemed quite chance which
was fed, yet all sat down apparently
| contented and good-humored afterward.
| 1t was Il pretty sight, and was grieyed
when, some boys coming by, they took
to flight.
