Grant and Kentucky girl at the St.

when President Grant was visiting

high terms of st. Louis, the fair, &c.

ly said one of the girls, eve are from
Kentucky, very fine state. you know,
which possesses three things all men
of taste must appreciate" Smilingly,
the President asked her what they
were. She answered.: 1--WE have the
fastest horses, the prettiest women
and the finest whiskey in the world"
The President replied: "Your horses
are certainly justly renowned; 1 have
some on my farm near here; yourself
and party prove the correctness of
your second observation, but whiskey
is one of the things that require age,
and your men consume it so fast that
it rarely has fair chance to become
good" The girls thought that if
General Grant could not make a long
speech he was apt at repartee.

slowly to the gypsy race; weakness,
pain and suffering are strangers among
them, and the physicians craft is de-
spised as are all the other institutions
of the Gorjos. But when death at
length enters the gypsy's tent he is
borne nncoffined to his last resting
place, deep in the forest or ON the
lonely heath, and as often as their
wanderings bring the gypsies to the
place where one of "our people" is laid
to rest they stop and pay short trib

At the fancy dress children's party
given at General Beale'S house Irene

he laughed at the little lady. The twins

When forth upon my quest start"

Enticed his stay.
And yet she pined from hour to hour.
"Twas love, not fame, craved," she said.

The warriors brow was wreathed with fame.

How Savages Count.

1t is very amusing to see the people
of Kamtschatka attempt to reckon
above ten, for, having reckoned the
fingers Of both hands, they clasp them
together, which signifies ten; they
then begin at their toes and count to
twenty, after which they are quite con-
founded, and cry "Matcha," that is,
"Where shall I take more?"
A Moravian missionary relates of
the Greenlanders that they in counting
proceed beyond twenty with great re-
luctance. and generally apply to all
numbers above twenty name which
means ''innumerable."
Parry, the great Arctic explorer,
says of some tribes of Esquimaux that
they require to use their fingers to
count as high as three, and generally
make some mistake before they reach
seven. -
Many South American tribes are
said to have no more than four distinct
numerals; and the consequent difficult
ty in understanding high numbers is
we'll illustrated by statement of Hum
boldt, that he never met an Indian
who would not, if asked his age, say,
indifferently, sixteen or sixty, not con-
scious that there was much difference
between the two.
The following anecdote of South
American traveller confirms the state
ment. This traveller, when out with
party Of ten or dozen Indians,
asked one of them, "Are we many?"
Eyes. we are many" "Are we innu-
merable?" "Yes, we are innumera-
ble." "That tribe" he says, "wheD
they wished to tell how many captives
they had taken were unable to state
the number, but would mark out
space of ground and say there were as
many as could stand in it."
The inhabitants of some West Indi-
an islands are said to exclaim whenev.
er anumber exceeds ten, "As many az
hairs of my head" or "As the sand OF
the sea-"
The Yancos, a tribe dwelling neal
the Amazon, have no name for any
number beyond three, "and lucky it is
for those who have to do with them
says the traveller who records the fact
"for their name for three is 'Po-et-tar
ra-ro-rin-c n-co-a-ro-ac,'" word of ter
syllables. Who can wonder that arith

Out in Dakota on the railways Jack

Out in Dakota on the railways jack
rabbits are plentiful. An engineer of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Road relates that when one of these
fine fellows is espied on the track, the
engine is uncoupled from the train,
and the race begins. The rabbit hasn't
sense enough to get off the track, and
the first thing the frightened animal
knows, the dread monster is close upon
him. The fireman grasps the iron
standard of the cowcatcher with one
hand, and the next instant has the
victim by the hind leg with the other.
This sport greatly amuses the engine
hands, but exasperates the delayed
passengers.
