General Grant and the Policeman.

Only once since the defeat of the Old Guard at Chicago did General Grant meet the enemy face to face and get utterly routed. That time the enemy was New York policeman. It was on the morning two years ago next winter when the Masonic Temple was on fire. There were great crowds on Sixth avenue and in Twenty-third street, and Captain Williams men had formed fire-lines across the street on either side of the Temple to give the firemen a chance to work unhindered.
 The crowd gave them plenty to do,
 and when a short chunky man, with a cigar set firmly between his teeth and the huge collar of his top-coat reach ing above his ears, tried, looking neither to the right nor to the left, to
 hustle past one of the policeman that guarded the Sixth avenue approach,
 he was seized and unceremoniously bounced off the sidewalk. The officer didn't prod him with his club as he probably had good mind to do, but as he got fair grip on the collar of that coat and yanked it's owner into the street, he gave him some whole. some advice, unasked, on the subject of blockade running. The man in the overcoat answered never a word, but logged across the street, both hands thrust into bis side pockets and the cigar set with just shade of defiance in his firm mouth, and tried to pass by Booths Theatre. But here another policeman who had seen him bounced
 across the street, got his eye upon him
 md was reaching for the tall collar,
 when he was dumfounded by seeing his roundsman straighten up and salute in military style: "This way, Generali Make room there for Gen. eral GrantP' The crowd and the blue
 coats made room at once, and the Gen. eral, with nod of recognition, logged on his way toward Fifth avenue in the snow and slush, looking neither right nor left, but followed by a hun dred eyes, among them the policeman's, who silently thanked his stars for his narrow escape from giving the ex- President a taste of his club as a blockade runner.-Neto Fork Mail and Express. s.. .-......

Only an Actors Daughter.

One of the most accomplished young ladies at a Maine summer resort is the daughter of a well-known Boston actor She is beautiful girl, but her life is a continuous tragedy. Her art and natural grace are equally fascinating. She re- cites dramatic passages like Bernhardt She sings, plays, and talks brilliantly Admired she is and petted she might be, but she refuses attention. She is a greedy reader. Her books are her com panions. And they are not novels, but the classics and historical, biographical and philosophical works chiefly. She is fond of the Greek and Latin poets. She devours the Odyssey as rapidly and eagerly as Maud or Mabel of the. summer hotel skins over love story. Every pleasant day she goes alone to a grove, sits under tree and reads for hours. Upon every tree under whose shade she sits she invariably carves with her pen knife a skull and crossbones, Nobody knows why, She always wears d grave look. She rarely smiles. She is Melan- choly's own.

Friendly Lions.

Everybody who has visited menag. erie knows that the lion is capable oi being taught. A lion exhibited in a Dutch menagerie would leap through a barrel covered with blazing paper He was so tame that his keeper took bis food from him several times, with no resistance save slight clutch and growl. ra -
 If lion is captured when young and treated with kindness, he becomes attached to his master, and will follow him like a dog. Anderson, the Swe dish naturalist, saw, in the hut of an African trader. one who was not only fond of his owner, but lived on tn, most affectionate terms with dogs cats and other domestic animals.
 Layard says, in his Nineoeh and BG bylon, that the pasha of IIilah, tho town built on the ruins of ancient Babylon, had a tame lion, who was al lowed to stroll, unattended, through the bazars. He had only one bao habit; when he was hungry, he would take possession of butchers stall drive out the butcher, help himself t joint, eat it, and then depart.
 If he had fancy to breakfast. ol fish, he would go down to the bank oI the Euphrates, wait the coming of [ fisherman boat, scare away the owner, pick out the largest fish, and break hiI fast at his leisure. #
 The pasha encouraged his pet to gel his daily rations by this method, as ii relieved him from paying ishermenI and butchers bills. When the lioH had appeasod his hunger, he would stretch himself in the sun and allow the Arab boys to play with him, as il he were large dog.
 The captain of an English frigat, kept huge pet lion, which he hat reared from cub, that was so tame a, to be allowed the run of the ship.
 "Prince," as he was called, was nor, attached to his keeper than to hii owner. One day the keeper goi drunk, and the captain ordered him te be aogged. The grating on which tn, keeper, stripped to his waist. was tied stood opposite Princes cage. While preparations were being made for tn, flogging, the lion kept walking around his cage, stopping, now and then, tt look at his friend and at the boats. vain, who stood, ''cat" in hand, wait ing the word. @-l #
 At the first stroke of the knotted tail; on the mans bare back, the lion, sides resounded with the quick lash ings of his tail His eyes glowed witl rage when he saw the blood begin t, flow. With roar of thunder he dash, ed himself against the cages bars They bent, but did not give way; and the lion, finding that he could noI break out, rolled on the floor, shriek ing as if in agony.
 "Cut down the manr' said the cap tain to the boatswain.
 "Go to your friendp said he to tht bleeding keeper. ....s-...
 When the man entered the cage, the lion seemed beside himself with joy He caressed him with his paws, licked gently the mangled back, and then, folding him in his huge fore-limh looked as if he dared the whole crew to take his friend from his embrace.- The Youths Companion,

CHILDRES,s COLUMN.
A Barn-Yard Riot.


 learned good lesson when I was little girl, says lady. One frosty morning I was looking out of the window into my fathers barn-yard, where were many cows, oxen and horses waiting to drink. The cattle all stood very meek and still till one of the cows, in turning around, happen ed to hit her neighbor, whereupon the neighbor kicked and hit another. In five minutes the whole herd were kicking each other with fury. My mother laughed and said, "See what comes of kicking when you are hit" Just so have seen one cross word set a whole family by the ears some fros- ty morning. Afterward, if my broth CTS or myself were a little irritated, she would say, "Take care, my chill dren, remember how the fight in the barn-yard began. Never return a kick for hit and you will save your selves and others great deal of trou. ble."

The old Story.

A year and half ago a gentleman who had achieved some local political distinction in Wilmington, and whose family is closely associated with the his. tory of Delaware, went to Philadelphia to live. He had inherited n fortune of $1O0, 900. It was more money than he knew just what to do with, and he was well ulong in years. Still, he wished to increase the pile and increase it rapidly. He went into the railroad speculation. He became a familiar figure on Third street, and his rooms at the Lafayettc Hotel were the resort of representatives of that crowd of queer people who ped. dle points" to whoever will buy. He lost; he lost all the time. He went down into the pit of poverty as swim. mer goes down a sliding board. A few days ago, broken in health, mind and purse, he was admitted to the old Mems Home. The lesson that hi. career teaches is obvious. But who vii learn ltf ...##Ha
