arms, but it sometimes happened that
both wanted to nurse him at the same
time, and then a fight ensued. This was
| the case yesterday. The largest OF the
balloons had the monkey in his arms
when the other one tried TO take him
away. The big Simam took refuge on
the topmost bar OF the cage. The other
followed him and tried to pull the little
fellow from his arms. The struggle
which followed was equal TO the battle of

A wALTZING DOG.
George Hart is an employee on the Free
man, and in many respects he emulates
the many good traits Of the "Father of
Our Country" especially that one which
is closely connected with the cutting of an
apple tree. He owns a yellow fox dog
that answers TO the name of Prince. The
canine is great lover of music, and is an
elegant dancer. George has "a little tin
hfe, and, when his days work is done,
loves to sit on a small stool In the kitchen
and play for Prince, who waltzcs around
the room with an elegance
and grace that would put to
shame many OF Kingston's so-called
fancy dancers. II George drops a note to
his playing the dog detects it instantly,
giving vent to his displeasure by sitting
on its launches and bowling. Not long
ago party was held at Mr. Harris house.
When the music struck up the dog, which
was in the kitchen, sprang to its feet,
rushed to the parlOr and electrified those
present with establishment by its dancing.
Around the room the canine glided, never
once getting out Of step. One young lady
declared than if she wasn't afraid her
beau would get jealous she would take it
for a partner for the evening. But lust

FELINE's VANITY.
One day last week Jake Tobriner pur-
chased a gold watch and chain ms birth
day present to his wife. He laid it down
moment on a chair and went into the
next room, and when he came back it
was gone. Great was his astonishment
on seeing the jewelry SO suddenly dis
appear, and he fully concluded that his
wife had played trick upon him and
said nothing. Finally, at dinner, he said
the InEn had for nnnnnb nj pbn
had better produce the watch. She knew
nothing of it, and Jake was beginning to
feel rather queer, when he heard noise
on the stoop, and, going out, he found the
cat with the chain tangled about her neck
and trying to get rid OF it. He made
grab at it, but pussy was too quick and
slid under the house, with the elegant
watch Gathering along behind her. Mr.
Troblner got long pole and poked it
about under the house, and after a spell,
hearing noise, saw the cat upon
the woodshed with the watch still
dangling to her neck. He climbed up
with bowl of milk to get the cat, but
she ran under the chicken-house with
the watch, OF course), and then he poked
her with the pole again; but it was no
good; the cat was up in tree too quick,
and the air was filed with clubs and
bricks for half an hour, trying to bring
her down. Mr.. Tobriner finally went TO
borrow gun to shoot the cat, when she
came down herself, and, getting the
watch caught in between some boards,
was unable to get away. Mr. Tobriner
got his watch, and, strange to say, it was
uninjured.
