II seems to be mania with a

They speak not whereof they know,

seen fit to animadvert upon

aforesaid esteemed Georgia edi-
tors feel duty-bound to cry out in
grand chorus of howls, me tool

ignorance, as to what to condemn
and what to praise, they unite in
a sweeping condemnation of the
whole. The legislature just adj
journed, while not especially
strong, was good average. Can
the aforesaid esteemed Georgia

desires to remain in office he had
best continue wearing the judicial

Columbus an Enemy to Mankind.

A poultry-raiser out on the country
edge of the Seventh ward is an egg
miser. To eat an egg is, according to
his way of thinking, an unwarranted
extravaganza. 1.-The philosophy of
egg-eating," he reasons, "is the de-
struction of the hen tribe. Eggs are
the only means of propagating the
tribe; is it not gallinaceous murder,
then, to destroy them?" Somebody
was speaking to him about Christopher
Columbus. The poulterer took the
direction of the conversation in his
own hands and impaIlently said:
81 don't put much faith in the story
of Columbus and the egg,-you know
he made the egg stand on end by
breaking it,-but if the story is true.
then he was an enemy to mankind.
Think of the wanton destruction of an
egg and its long line of possible pro-
geny! | have been counting it up of
nights, and | find that if that egg was
a female-and the chances are that it
was-if Matched, and the chick cared

The Grant Monument.

Before the sum is wholly subscribed
there will be time carefully to con-
slider what form the memorial should
take. and the other question which the
death and burial of General Grant have
there should net be A common nation
al ground, a campo sdnto, in which
the great heroes should be buried, and
which would become at once a shrine
of national pilgrimage and an ever-re-
newing fountain of national union and
patriotism.
There is one obvious objection to
such a scheme. which is that the claims
of distin guished citizens to such nation
al sepuiture must be determined by
Congress, and the result would be al.
most inevitable that mere partisan feel
ing would largely determine ques-
ton which SUCH feeling can not justly
decide. There is to be considered,
also, the advantage of the distribution
of such national shrines throughout the
country by the burial of every great
citizen at his home. Mount Vernon is
a temple and a monument which even
the Capitol would not be if the dust of
in its crypts. Like the battle-tields of
the Revolution which are scattered over
the old thirteen States. and each of
which is q consecrated field of patriot
ism, the graves of famous Americans
cherished amid the local scenes of
their lives would be affairs of emo
bling patriotism everywhere in the
land.
1t is objected, indeed, and very forci-
bly,, that they are not cherished, but
fall often into most unseemly neglect
Wherever this is true, 1t is a caustic
reproach of the neighborhood or of the
family. But it is hardly a reason for
national interment that great mans
kindred are negligent of his grave.
In little town among the hills of
western Massachusetts there is mon
ument to the "ever-living memory of
the sons of the town who died in the
service of the Union. 1t is not shaft,
not a statue, not pyramid; 1t is a
granite fountain, the stone forming a
low and modest monument, while the
water flows from the four sides into
convenient basins, and upon the square
sides of the stone superstructure are
engraved the brief inscription and the
names of the soldiers. 1t stands in the
midst of the village street, and the
man who stops to drink and to water
his horses reads the names and the in
scription, and the man and beast re-
sumo their journey refreshed. the man
perhaps rejecting that even so the self
sacrifice of the soldiers refreshed the
STRENGTH of his country and of man
kind striving for still higher and truer
liberty.
May not memorial of Grant be OF q
kind which by its practical benefits to
his countrymen may recall and SYM
bolize his immense and modest mag
unanimous services 10 his country?-

She Took off her Hat.

Clara Louise Kellogg has given en-
tertainment enough to audiences, one
would suppose, writes a New York
correspondent to have earned the right
to enjoy herself as an auditor when
she chooses. But | sat next to her in
theater the other evening when two
fellows directly behind her would not
let her have a good time. She was
handsomely dressed, and on her head
was one of those towering hats that
are now in high favor, except with
those whose view of performance is
bv them obscured, and to this class of
directors belonged the chaps at the
rear of Miss Kellogg.
Il say, Jim, one remarked, in a
thrilling whisper. Ibid you ever try to
mark the height of a stovepipe hat from
the floor up the side of room by es-
innate? Yes? Then you made it as
high as a f1ower-barrel, likely. Now,
I'll bet you the drinks that this milf
merry construction is silk hat aud a
half tall; and I'll hold mine up for
measurement.
the wager was made, the hat was
uplifted for comparison, and it was
settled without dispute that the heights
from brim to crown were exactly the
same A glance around the theater
showed tina; the same surprising fact
was realized on dozens of women's
heads But the bet was not so readily
decided, for from Miss. kellogg's hat

agree whether they were TO be consid-

tormentors, after an interval of silent
endesvor to see past the constantly
shifting obstruction to what was going
on in the stage show, IAN apparatus
that Heller used to exhibit for looking

the brick was right in the range of

clearly see what was directly on the
other side.
..Well, what of it?" responded the
other.
'.Oh, nothing: only l was thinking
that the contrivancc could make good
trimming for ladies hats this season"
There was such an outburst of
laughter from all OF us within hearing
that the stage-performers must have
thought that they had made a phe-
nomenal hit in exclusively one spot;
and then Miss. Kellogg, smiling but
crimson, removed her hat, and sat
during the rest OF the evening bare
headed, after the foreign fashion.

A Bird Study.

The mocking- birds emotions were

that he was Z constant source of in

hibition one day. Leaning over it, he
pulled out every feather, opened his
mouth, and tried the glass with his

peeped slyly over the edge to see if the
stranger were still there, no doubt I'M
able to get over his surprise at seeing
a bird in that position and ready to
meet his bill at every point. The same
glass standing up brought out differ
ent demonstration. He stood in front
of it and swelled himself out, while the
feathers of the shoulders and breast
were erected. Then ne opened his
mouth wide and attacked the ref1ec-
ton, but was aStonished to meet the
glass. He touched the bill of his
double with his own, and moved all
the way to the bottom of the glass, not
taking it away, but apparently trying
to seize the one which opposed his.
He lowered his head as though to take
hold of the enemy's foot, then pulled
himself up as straight as soldier,
wings and tail constantly jerking with
excitement. After INDUCING for some
time il these proceedings, he lodged
around behind the glass, plainly ex-
pecting to pounce upon his opponent,
and surprised not to do so. Several
times he drew himself up. swelled out
his breast, and clustered before the
glass. Once he flew up with the re-

of the glass naturally went over and
landed behind, without an enemy in
sight. Upon this he stared a moment,
as if dazed, then shook himself out,
and flew away in evident disgust.
The deliberate, leisurely dressing of
plumage with which many birds pass
away the dull hours is an occupation
in which the hooking bird never had
time to indulge. He was bird of

Civil-Service Examination.

Mr.. James Flurewalker, having be-
come tired OF machine politics, aspires
to a permanent official position under
the Federal Government, and having
had several years experience as sugar
expert, he applies for the Office of
Sugar Inspector in the customs service.
In due time he is summoned before the
Civil Service Examining Board. Feel
ing confident of his general intelli-
gence. and of his special qualifications
for the position, he presents himself
for examination, wearing an easy and
benignant smile.
Mr.. Furewalker rapidly collects his
thoughts together and tries to concen-
trate all the faculties of MS mind in
readiness for the first question, which
he is a little fearful may be poser.
THE FIRST QUESTION.
''In sailing from Mozambique to the
Straits of Malabar, what are the varia-
tons in the magnetic needle, and what
is the cause of these variations?"
Mr. Flurewalker requests a repeti-
ton of the question. 1t is repeated
twice-three times-but Mr.. T. is too
Hurried to reply.
Perhaps you can tell US where
Mozambique is?" says one of the ex-
aminers.
''Oh, yes! OF course. Why, it is
off to the eastward somewhere-an
archipelago or peninsula, or some
thing. 1t is somewhere near Mesopo-
tamia."
That will DO, sir"
What is the rule in Shelly's case?"
''Eh! in Shelly's caseP"
Eyes, SIR"
'Well, | suppose it's the same rule
as with any other man. If he is
squarely elected, count him in. l
never heard that Shelly had any par
ticular pull"
That will do, SIR"
THIRD QUESTION.
Describe the process of termination
in a seed
''In seed?"
'.Yes, sir"
1.-The process of what?"
Determination.
''Oh! The progress of the German
nation! Well, since the battle of
Koeniggratz and the war with France
there"
That will do"
"What is meant by the procession Of
the equinoxes?"
The equinoxes?"
Yes"
1.-The procession of the equinoxes?''
No! the procession of the equi-
noxes."
Never heard of it. What does it
relate TOP"
..Cosmogony."
"What?n
.'We1, astronomy"
80! | see now, gentlemen; you must
have made mistake. | am not an
applicant for an astronomical position.
l only want to be Il sugar inspector"
That will do, sir. We are quite
aware of that. Now pay attention and
answer our questions.
EIFTH QUESTION.
Explain the relation of the molecu-
lar theory to the nebular hypothesis.
mo. | thank you, had rather not.
Perhaps you had better put some of
your civil-service questions to the
President and some of his Cabinet
When they pass l will call around
again.
"Sir, you may go.''
And Mr.. Fiurewalker goes-yes, he
goes back to machine politics.-M y
