Senator pugh, of Alabama, served in the

ter having served in the Congress Of the Unit

walked out to the front yard and when tho de-
hlchrnent drew up to his gate he said to them:
ssThere's the house go in and take possession. "
The officer IN command inquired SIS your

There are now about 4Oe Sioux Indians

open these reservations several weeks ago,

back until 1t could be seen what would be
done with the presumption repeal in con-
gress. The president and Secretary Teller
are committed to the repesl Of the pre-emp-
ton act and preferred to lave the Winrebago
and Grow creek lands come into the market at

In that event it could only be open to home

ed ny influential Western members that there
was no hope for it's passage and there was no
occasion for delay. The lands: thus opened

to great credit in securing this decision from

The Habits of Birds.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic. .t-E, - ~
Birds not only cough and sneeze, but
they dream and snore, making most dis
tressing sounds as if strangling.y They
hiccough--a verysdroll affair it is, too
and they faint away. The goldfnch
spoken OF above, being frightened one
night, in his struggles was caught be-
tween Che wires, and gave a cry like the
squeak Of a.mouse in distress. On my
fastening to- his release, he slipped
out in the room and few Wild
" about till he hit somethin g
and fell to the floor. He was picked up,
and his fright eliminated in a dead faint.
The little head dropped, the body was
limp, apparently perfectly lifeless, and
he was laid in his cage, ready to be bur-
led in the morning. He was placed
carefully on the breast, however, and in
few minutes he hoped upon his perch,
shook out his ruf11ed feathers, and com
posed himself to sleep. !. s.5. H..
One feat sometimes ascribed to man is
in the case Of birds a literal fact--they
can sleep with one eye open. This
curious habit I have watched closely,
and / find il common in. nearly all the
varieties I have been able to observe.

How to Tell shoddy Cloth.

"How,!" asked q Sun reporter Of a
New York tailor, lis an inexperienced
buyer to distinguish between an-woolen
goods and the material containing a
cotton warp, Of which that gentleman
was complaining ?" i.
by merely rayeling out the rough
edge Of the material and Inspecting the
threads" said the tailor. Any one
can tell cotton thread from q WOODEN
thread. The ono will break short in
two, on being tested, while the other
will fray and foss out, like yarn and
worsted. In this way you can readily
detect mixture Of cotton warp IN a
sham all-woolen fabric. #E
How do you detect shoddy in cloth?"
In Just the same way, and even
more easily. Fray out two or three
threads from the rough edge, and un-
twist them. IT they contain shoddy, it
will drop out Of the twist, sometimes
like sand, and then again in an impal-
pable dust, that will like enough make
you sneeze. II you'd inl,ale enough 81
the stuff il would be apt to give you a
HEADACHE and q sore throat, for moss
shoddy IS rank poison.

Correspondents say tho grand ball room has
never been equaled in this country. The reader
may have some idea of it it he can imagine =
perfecting dancing floor 800 feet wide The OBJ
server looks upward more than fifty feet before
his eye strikes the yaultsd root. This great
space is filed with decorations upon which it
wonla almost seem that art had exhaust
ed its resources. Over one thousand persons
can dance at the same time without treading on
each others toes. Let him imagine the whole
interior blazing with food Of light from half
q hundred electric burners, and he will have 4
faint picture of the scene. Over 5000 people
participated in the dancing. Among those
present were President Cleveland and
Senator Bayard, Col Villas, OF Wisconsin, Gen.
Sheridan and Mrs. Sheridan, Gen. Rosencrans,
Hon Dan Manning and wife, Senator Penlle-
ton, Hon Richard r. Merrick, Senator Wade
Hampton, Senator Brown of Georgia, Justice

q large number of persons passed about him,
and some Of the gentlemen standing in the
