Singapore a City of Pets.

H E u,
The city of Singapore is the chief entire
port of the Asiatic pet trade. All along
the harbor the clamor of captive birds and
monkeys halls the purchaser from hun
dreds of shops. Chinese trainers, Parsee
wholesale dealers and Malay pedllers are
ready to sell or buy anything frosrs a paro-
quet to a hunting leopard. Singapore is
the Cape Town of the Asiatic continent.
Vessels of all nations call either for trad
ing purposes or for supplies and repairs,
for the harbor has the best dry-docks
south of Canton, and the cheapest pro-
vision market of any Asiatic coast city.
Splendid mangosteens, combining the
taste OF a banana AID raspberry, can be
bought for a few cents a bushel; sage and
yam-roots are equally cheap, and, as the
Malay trappers work for a shilling a week
the menagerie dealers can afford to sell a
monkey at a slight advance OH the aggre-
gate Of his board bill.
The forests of half a hundred islands
and peninsulas contribute to their stock
in trade. The Malacca junks bring Glib
bon apes, restless climbers with enormous
arms and stumpy legs. Siam contributes
lemurs and hanumans. Borneo an occa-
sional orang; Java, parrots and wild pea
fowl; Papaa, birds of paradise. OF the
lemurs alone the local market terms dis
tinguish some twenty different varieties,
including the long tailed Tarsius and the
Chirmundi Billi-"Bashful Billy"-a Curl
Gus, phlegmatic variety of the genus Loris.

Novel Use of the stereoscope,

A novel use is made of the stereoscope
to detect forged bank notes. A note Of
100 francs was recently submitted to the
experts of the bank of France as issued by
La band of forgers, but the execution was
SO perfect that no defect could be discoy-
cred by the closest examination. A sug-
gestion was then made to place the sus-
pected note side By side with a genuine
one in the objective of a stereoscope, the
two images of which, as is well known,
overlap each other and form a single pict-
ure. The result of the experiment was
that the loop in a letter of a forged note
did not exactly cever that of the genuine
one. showing that they had not been
printed from the same plate.-Galignani's

How a Horse Should BE Trained.

Mike ]. Hester, assistant chief of the
fire department, can break the stubbornest
horse that ever stood on hoofs. He tanned
the horse that Assistant Chief Finnerty is
now driving, and that was a shyer, baker,
kicker, bitter, and everything else that
could be mean in horseflesh. Hester made
him as docile us a well-trained and good
natured dog. He trains all his horses to
answer the word of command, and he can
drive them, il he chooses to, without bride.
l know q gentleman who was riding with
him to a fire n night when the bride
broke: my friend got cold as ice and pale
as a ghost, but Mike called out to his
horse, STEADY when the animal slackened
its pace, and then came the peremptory
.Whoa," which brought the horse to a
stand-still. Mike jumped and tied the
bride, and then resumed his run to the
fire. He has all his horses trained SO that
when he makes his morning round of the
engine-housesi n his district, the horse fol-
lows him like a Observation-Disclosures

The, Future of Mormonism.

asked Judge Baskin, of Utah, what
was to be the future of the Mormons. He
replied: Il believe that the Mormons will
have Joe Smiths son as the head of their
church within five years, and that they
will accept his doctrine. This man is now
in Illinois, and he teaches Mormonism as
it was taught by his father before polyg-
amy n temporal government by the
church was mixed up with it. The Nor
mons of Utah are being converted to this
doctrine, and If the government continues
to legislate against polygamy, / think they
will adopt it. The only thing that keeps
the Mormon church together now in a

a number of years there, where she
married. She moved to this parish
over forty years ago, and been a resi-
dent of Bellevue about thirty years.
Thus, one by one, the e'old land
marks are being blotted out. Mrs.
Kelly was esteemed by all who knew
her. She was kind to all and chart
table without ostentation, an indul-
gent mother, being greatly devoted
to her family, and true woman in
all the relations of life. She died a
Christian death. She passed way
suddenly and quietly, but has left be-
hind her the impress of q well spent
life in this community, and her kind
and familiar face will be sadly missed
by all. May she enter on her res'

Hopkins, the Labor Congressman

Hopkins stated, without eqnivoca-
tian, that he was elected as a Dem.
crat, that he had been a Democrat
all his life, that he never voted any
other than a Democratic ticket in
his life, and that he never expected
to do SO. He was asked: "As the
representative of the district will you
affiliate with the Democrats" He
replied, "Uuquestionably, l WILL"
While it is to be regretted that the
Democratic nominee of the district
was defeated. the Republicans can't
gather much comfort from the vic
tory of Hopkins.

1t is with a sad heart, indeed, that
the writer hereof resumes again his
routine work! Having, just one
week ago, performed the last sad rites
to deceased sister-in-law, this week
l was called to witness one the sad
dest scenes, and to sustain one the
greatest losses that ever falls to the
lot of mankind-the death Of a dear,
yes, doubly dear, old mother! One
from whom I have never been sepa-
rated before only a very short period
of my life. She passed from these
earthly trouble and trials, after a
very sudden and brief illness, on
Wednesday, the 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1886, at the age of sixty-six.
To the kind people of Bellevue, l
take this method, in behalf of my
family and self, to extend to them
our cordially felt thanks for their ex-
IRENE kindness shown US during our
sad Bereavement. Bellevue may be
short upon some points, but upon
point of charity and benevolence, her
citizens are above par. They are as
prompt always to respond to the call OF
the distressed as brotherhood could
be that is bound together by solemn
and fratefnal vows. The dear good
ladies, especially, with kind hands,
are ever ready to give aid, or, with
gentle voices, to administer solace
and comforting words to the sorrow
sticken. Its certainly a consolation
although we cannot help grieving
after the dear lost one-to know VT
have such kind and considefate
friends in the hour Of our greatest
distress, which enables us to bear w
under our sore affections with a bet
ter fortitude. We again wish to ex
press our gratitude to our friends
one and all, for kindness extended III
with ali unstinted hand.
Elsewhere in this paper will b.
found an obituary from the pen of .
friend. Very truly,
B. A. KELLY.
