The Children's Bear Adventure.

Two Russian children, one four and
the other six years old, rambled away
from their friends, who were hay
making, They had gone from one
thicket to another gathering fruit,
laughing and enjoying the fun. AT
last they came near bear lying on the
grass, and without the slightest appre-
hension went up to him. He looked
at them steadily, without moving; at
length they began playing with him
and mounted upon his back, which he
submitted to with perfect good humor.
In short, both parties seemed inclined
to be pleased with each other: indeed
the children were delighted with their
new play-fellow. The parents, missing
the truants, became alarmed and fol
lowed on their track. They were not
long in searching out the spot, when,
to their dismay, they beheld one child
sitting on the bears back, and the
other feeding him with fruit! They
called aloud, and the little ones ran to
them laughing, while Bruin, appar-
emily not liking the interruption, went
away into the forest.-Erchange.

GarfieldS Maiden Speech.

Gen. Garfield made his maiden
speech IN the house of representatives
on the 2Sth of January, 1864, in reply
to MIR. Finch, a democrat from Ohio.
He advocated the confiscation of the
large landed estates at the south, and
spoke with such vehemence and pro-
fuse gesticulation that he exhibited
signs of physical exhaustion before
the expiration of his hour. 'If, said
he, 1--WE want n lasting peace, we must
put down the guilty cause, slavery,
and take away the platform on which
slavery stands-namely, the landed
estates of the rebels of the south. The
negro has been our true friend on ev.
cry OCCASION There was scarcely a
surprise or battle where the negro had
not come to us and told the truth. He
had found that while the rebels were
fighting, black men were cultivating
their lands, the products of which
were placed in the rebel commissary
department.. And it was not until we
took away the main support of the
rebels that we could conquer. If this
was an abolition war it was because
we have an abolition army; and he
would tell gentlemen that slavery was
dead forever, unless the body snatch
ers of the other side should resurrect it
and bring it into life. He said, Il an
nounce, gentlemen, your friend has
departed. Hang your emblems of
mourning on the bier, and follow the
hearse and shed tears over the grave;

eulogies on the deceased. ben: Per-

KOmarOff's Career.

Those who remember Gen Komar-
off in ST. Petersburg fifteen years ago
as the military critic of the PeterSburg-
Sktyd VedOmoSH could hardly have
toreseen that the quiet little dark
haired man who seemed to have got
''army reorganization" upon the brain
would ever become famous throughout
the whole civilized world. His name
of "Komaroff' (son of n misquito) is
ominously suggestive of very great
mischief done by very small means.
1t is possible that-like Prince Sacha-
koffskoi ut Plevna in 1S77-he may
have exceeded his instructions in the
hope of winning for himself, and max
ing his success atone for his rashness
But in Russia it is always hazardous
to conjecture from a mans public
acts what his secret orders may have
been, and even should the Russian
government recall Komaroff in accord
ance with the demands of England, its
disavowal of his dash upon Penjdeh
will be no proof whatever that that
movement was not made under the
direct inspiration of the ST. Petersburg
war oilice.-NcaO York WOrld.

Bovton,s Predecessor.

The daring experiment of Paul Boyton
in New York Harbor in attaching bogus
torpedo to the bow of the English war ship
Garnet recalls an event in the long ago, When
General Jackson was President. The cid
frigate Constitution, which has now been
aaoat for nearly century, was at that time
lying off the Brooklyn Navy Yard and used
as a receiving ship. Familiarly known as
sold Ironsides," the craft has always been
a venerated object, on account of her haT-
ing lowered the pride of "Old England" In
her wooden walls by capturing the Cyans
and LeVant in the war of 1912, when under
Commodore Stewart. The Democratic and
Wing politicians we're waging fierce battle
for supremacy, and when the Navy Depart
ment had block of wood carved TO repre-
sent General Jackson placed on the PROV OF
the old frigate as fgurehead, there was
howl from the disgusted wings at the idea
of placing sold Hickory" before the Con-
stitution. One dark, rainy night an ardent
Wing made his way, unseen and unheard,
to the offending figure read and with a saw
severed the head from the body. An ac-
complice, waiting in a boat below, carried
away the execationer as well as the decapi-
tated head, and it was broad daylight before
the mutilation was discovered by the horri-
fed officers of the frigate. Many years
elapsed before the perpetrator of this dar-
ing act was discovered, and he went un-
whipped of justice.
