The Sparrow and the Court.

A Philadelphia correspondent
writes: While Judge Wilson was list
ening to the argument for a new trial
in the Work case IN the old court
house to-day, Court Officers Gentner
and MURRAY stood at one of the win
dows cooking up political schemes and
watching the sparrows that fitted
about through the big snowdrlfts IN
the courtyard. Court Officer Gentner
saw flock of the little birds fly away,
and noticed that one bird sat on the
snow motionless. He called Officer
Murray's attention to it. They went
out and brought the half-frozen bird
into the courtroom. They laid it on
the register, and the heat from the
furnace in the cellar soon thawed the
numbness from it's little body, and it
began to chirp. Dist.-Atty. Graham
stopped to listen to it's chatter. Then
Judge Wilson became interested in the
little sparrow and didn't appear to
hear what the lawyers were saying.
The result was that the court took a
recess of five minutes to look at the
little stranger. Judge Wilson had
hardly resumed his seat In the judi
hop about and fly about the court
room and over the judges head.
Everybody watched the sparrow and
Judge Wilson smiled. The court
officers were going to drive it out into
the storm, thinking it annoyed the
court, but Dist Atty. Graham stopped
them. Judge Wilson sent Court Officer
Gentner out to get some bread for the
sparrow, and the officer threw crumbs
to it. When the janitor locked the
doors Of the old courthouse in the
afternoon the sparrow was perched on
the gable of one of the windows
Judge Wilson left orders to let the bird
stay in the courtroom until Monday
morning

Whale happening.
From Longman's Magazine

From Longman's Magazine
Now and then g. whale manages to
make it's escape after being harpoOned.
Whenever that is the case the animal
has learned wisdom by experience, and
if it should again be harpooned takes
very good care not to exhaust It's
powers by diving. So it remains on
the surface Of the water, where 1T can
breathe at ease, and rushes along at
full speed.
Three or four boats will sometimes
be ''fast" to the same whale, and Will
be towed along at such speed that one
of the crew is obliged to stand over
the line with uplifted axe, ready to cut
the rope at a moments notice. Inc
Northern whales almost invariably
make for the nearest ice field and try
to dive under it. In one instance q
Rorqual, which had been harpooned
in mistake for g. Greenland whale,
rushed off with such unexpected speed
that it shot under an ice field before
the line could be cut, and neither crew
nor boat were ever heard OF afterward.
1t is, by the way, fortunate for the
whalers that the animal cannot turn
its head or body, as, If 1T could do SO,
even civilized men would hardly be
able to approach such an animal. AS
it is, however, the weil-drilled boats
crew have just time to back out OF
reach of it's tail before it can make It's
stroke.
For it must be remembered that SEN
sation occupies an appreciable time in
passing along q nerve. All OF us who
have suffered from an accident must
be aware that at the moment OF lntilc-
ton there is no pain, and that there
is an interval between the injury and
the pain. The duration of this inter
val is measurable by the length OF
nerve between the seat of injury and
the brain.
Now, the whale is a very large ami
NAL; and supposing that a full-grown
specimen of eighty feet In length be
struck about the middle of the body,
the sensation of the stroke would
have to be conveyed through nerves
nearly forty feet in length before reach
ing the brain. Then, the return mess
age delivered to the tail would have
to traverse nearly twice that distance.
So, although the whalers may be
wholly ignorant of physiology, they
know by practice that a whale never
strikes instantly on receiving the
wound from the harpoor.
Shell-bullets, charged with prussic
acid or strychnine and just enough
powder to explode the shell, have been
found to kill q whale in very few
minutes. The sailors, however, with
all the prejudices of ignorance, think
that they will be poisoned when fens-
ing the whale, and so insist upon the
tedious and dangerous system of har-
pooning and lancing.

The "BIiShunist."

from the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
The Northern readers Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" and similar literature
are firmly convinced that the Southern
negroes before the war looked upon
the abolitionists as their friends.
This is as great mistake as the current
impression among Northern people
that the negroes sympathized with the
Union cause and aided the Union sol.
diers whenever they could.
When the writer was small boy he
witnessed from afar q singular process
sion in the city of Montgomery. He
caught only a glimpse of q clamorous
mob of men and boys escorting what
appeared to be an ostrich or immense
fowl of some kind.
"What big bird " was the Juvenile
spectators surprised exclamation.
Dress your soul, honey" said a
pleasant old negro, wbo was standing
on tip-toe to see the strange sight,
"dat's no bird"
"What is it, them"
"Why, chile, dat's blishumist.

How Women Triple.
New York Cor. Philadelphia Times. ]

"This," said she, "leads to a great
among the fashionable people, and
now we are getting to have little
places away from home where we can
get a glass of wine. Very many OF our
best modistes are keeping Nell-tilled
side-boards, where their lady custom
ers can get a drink of wine or malt
liquors while out shopping. Ofcourse,"
she continued, eve shall never have
such liberties as you men have. 1t is
the proper caper for you lords of Gre
alton to pass into bar-room, order
your liquor, drink it, and then talk
stocks or whatever you will. Then
men do not gossip about each other.
Our sex cannot be treated with our
habits, and in taking glass of sherry
outside OF our homes secrecy IS a ne
cessity. Only this morning [ was at
my dressmaker's, and getting through
with little errand l had | stepped in
to her sideboard room to take glass
of sherry. There were half dozen
ladies in the outer rooms at the time,
all of whom, am convinced, knew Of
the existence of the quiet room where
a drink could be found and had been
there for one. Yet if they had seen a
neighbor taking teddy there they
would have felt compelled to speak or
it as a gross breach of propriety
Women are rarely ever just to each
other, especially in little matters ofthe
appetite.
This lady friend is rarely given to
breaches Of etiquette and she waxed
indignant and eloquent at the wrongs
of her sex and made quite a convinc-
ing argument in favor of broader Ii
cense being given to women, so that it
would not be necessary to have their
dressmaker keep private bottle for
her customers.

After hearing this description OF the
tarred and feathered monster IN Uhe
distance, the small boy waited TO see
no more, but struck for home as Iaso
as his legs could carry him.
The Montgomery negro was q fair
representative of his race. AS RUE,
whenever an abolitionist came to GRIEF
in the South it was because some negro
reported his indiscreet utterances 70
the whites. To slaves, descended
from generations of slaves, slavery
seems the most natural thing IN the
world. They estimated white man 8
Importance by the number OF his slaves,
and the man who owned none was IN
their eyes a very insignificant being.
When they found g. man who was OPP
posed to slavery they jumped to the
conclusion that he was q mailman or
a monstrosity outside the pale OF hr-
manity. The tarring and featherlng
of an abolitionist never failed to give
the negroes the keenest delight. Their
only regret on such festive occasions
was that they were compelled to re.
main in the background instead OF
taking an active hand in the affair
themselves. Curiosity has something
to do with this. Speaking of an ADO
litionist one day, an intelligent negro
asked:
"Did he have hornses and hoofses
like all de udder blishumists "
That was his idea of it, and his TEL
lows everywhere were the same way.

Why Victoria Eloped.

There is considerable food for par
ents in the statement recently made
by the daughter of the banker Morris
mi. in explanation of her elopement
with her fathers coachman. she said:
"Imagine the life we led up there and
in the city, and [ do not thinkyou will
blame me for what did. We had a
beautiful home, but were entirely shut
out from the world by it's walls. We
enjoyed every luxury possible, but had
to enjoy them all alone. We met at
breakfast, and papa read his papers,
and then went to the city and LETT US
to ourselves! We met at lunch. In
the afternoon papa came home and
read his papers. Then we met at din
ner, and after amusing ourselves as
best we could for the evening, we went
to bed. This was our lot day after
day the year round. We had few Wis
itors and were not permitted to visit.
When we attended the opera we sat
upright in box, looking neither to
the right nor left, and were hurried
there and hurried home again, as if
there was q pestilence in the streets.
We had no gentlemen friends, and
were permitted none OF the most in
nocent intercourse with the few gentle
men who visited u.s. It was like living
ia jail or a nunnery, with no one to
talk to you, perfect machine OF a
life that always went the same way.
Papa was kind, but so stern in his
ideas that he seemed to regard it as a
crime for us to think or act for our
selves in the most trifing things. 1t
was as melancholy as a constant fun

= MEMORY OF FORT MONROE.

The north wind sweeps through angry skies
The leaden clouds brood low,
And all day past my window flies
The restless, hurrying snow.
o wintry days, SO short and drear,
Ye chill my heart with gloom
/ sit beside the blazing fire
That lights my upper room,
And memory weaves her mystic spell,
And rings her rhythmic chimes,
And strews her blood-red roses DER
My dreams OF by-gone times.
o bluest sky that ever hung
Above poets dream;
o landscape fair enough to be
An artists chosen theme.
o sea, soft lapsing on your sands,
0 golden glimmering haze,
Why do your fair ghosts haunt me so,
These dreary winter days?
Again pass the little church,
cross the CLASSY mOat,
As on the dewy evening air
The bugles' echoes toat.
Nameless but well-remembered forms
Across the campus glide,
With sparkling eyes and port erect,
And manly, martial stride. a
And ope-he wears the double'bars-
Stirs memory like 81 flame,
And in his ear she whispers thus,
Sweet ghost, tell me your name.
