A canary Bl:u Bacchanal Song.
A tiny yellow-feathered canary bird
stopped eating hemp-seed, and began
cooking its head on one side then
scratching its bill with one claw, the
bird began to sing IN hute-like tones,
1--WE Won't Go Home till Morning.
Every note as true and prompt as a
French music box. Despite the ami
mated appearance of the songster, it
was so unnatural to hear the royster-
ing song of the bacchanals chanted
by canary that the bystanders looked
suspiciously around to find the music
box which was playing the tune. The
bird belongs to l.. d. Stebbins, the
matchmaker on Wisconsin street. and
he explained the modus operandi by
which the little songster acquired its
surprising faculty.
He said that the bird had been bred
by himself, being a common canary.
The parent birds We're chosen with
reference to volume Of voice and
quality. "As soon as the bird was
born" he said, "the education was
begun. A mouth organ was the ed
ucator employed. Beginning thus
early II WAS clSnC mOnGnS De1Oro the
education was completed. The bird
can sing, we Won't Go Home till
Morning, faultlessly, but there its &C.
quirements end. 1t has never heard
any other song. That tune was played
at the bird three times day on an or
gan. 1t is common canary, and is
valuable on account of its superior
education, insomuch that l was Offer
ed $40 for it a few days ago. Ignorant
common canaries sell for 81, which
proves conclusively that there is moth
ing lost by educating them. "-Milwaat-

Perfunctory Politeuess.

In Costa Rica no laborer ever passes
a lady in the street without lifting his
hat, and he always touches that dirty
and generally dilapidated portion Of
his apparel when a gentleman passes
him. If lady approaches a group of
men digging cellar or repairing tho
street, or what not, even though some
OF them msy be half naked. they al
ways salute her respectfully, and in
the rural districts no one ever meets
you without saying, MAY God pros
per the object Of your Journey" or
'May Heaven smile upon your err
rand" or something in Spanish like
that. The same man will swindle you
out of your eye teeth If he gets
chance, and if you ask him how far it
is to the next place he will unooubt-
edly tell you falsehood. He does net
care copper whether you ever reach
the end of your journey, and has no
more regard for your welfare than the
flea in the grass, but he recognizes q
beautiful custom and says, .sGod be
good to you" as If he meant it for q
blessing. San Francisco Chronicle.

HAY-BlooA.

Oh, for You that I never knew!-
Now that the Spring is swelling,
And over the way Is a whitening may,
In the yari Of my neighbours dwelling.
Oh, may, Ohio! do your sisters blow
Out there Ia the country grasses
A-mocking the white Of the cloudlet light
That up In the blue sky passesl
Here IN town the grass 1t is brown,
Right under your beautiful clusters;
But your sisters thrive where the sward's alive
With emerald lights and lustres.
Dream of my dreams vision that seems
Ever to scorn my praying,
Love that wait, face OF my fate,
Come with me now a-1naying!
Soul Of my song! all MY life long
Looking for you wander;
Long have sought-shall find naught
Under the may bushes yonder!
Oh, for You that l never knew,
Only in dreams that bin / you!--
By Springs own grace shall know your face,
When under the may l find you!
The Century for Nay.

A Pretty Pony In n Well.
IBarnesvllles CGa.) MALI

Last Sunday morning, about three
o'clock, Captain Powell was aroused by
an unusual noise out at his stables among
his horses. Going out he found his beau
'iful black mare, Daisy, greatly distressed.
He couldn't understand her uneasiness
until he began looking around for her colt.
Failing to find the little fellow, the thought
occurred to him that may be it had fallen
into a well which was near by. His fears
proved true, for down in the deep, dark
well the brave little Percheron was houn-
dering about. The Captain aroused sew
eral hands on the place, and in a short
while the colt was drawn to the surface,
wrapped in warm blankets and soon re-
stored. No limbs were broken, strange to
say, from the headlong plunge. This is .
new and novel way to "raise" colts

Spare the Rod, and Spoil the Sire.
IOgiethorpe tCa.) Ecbo.l

A negro boy is teaching a night school
at the old hotel place, and has for his
motto: "Spare the rod; spoil the child"
He numbers among his pupils his aged
father, who seeks for knowledge, but the
parental head sometimes stalls on the SIM
plest proposition. The other day the
dutiful son thought it necessary to grease
his teachings with hickory oifD in order
that his ancestor might take them in, and
when he had showered down about twenty
licks with all his might, making il rather
too warm for the old man, he exclaimed:
Swat you means boy; dom yer know pss
yer daddY?'

LITTLE Rock, ARK, July 26.-Poli-
Republican, Democrat, Green
hacker and Wheeler-is the leading
topic OF conversation in Arkansas just
now. The remarkably good ticket put
up by the Republicans at their con-
vention here last week is causing tue
Democrats TO wbet their old Jaws and
prepare for battle, and though there IS
not a ghost Of show for the opposi-
ton the party in power has de-
termined to show the RAIDS just how
badly they can beat them when
thew want to. Stone, the candidate
for State Land Commissioner is the
only colored man on the ticket. Hon.
Powell Clayton lett for Eureka Springs
today. Your correspondent saw him
this morning, and I'm brief CONVERSE
ton learned that the Republican
party wasn't committed to the claims
of any candidate for the Presidency
in 1883, but was in favor Of any man
who could win. He denied the rumor
that he had declared for Blaine Tor
next President and said there
was no foundation for such report.
He thought, however, that the ele.
ment favorable to the "Plumed
Knight" would have the power oil
naming the next candidate, whether
that man be James G. Blaine or some
other OF the able Republican leaders

He Played Baseball
His Home Run Hit Captured
the Heart of an Heiress.

II was a close and exciting game. Eight
innings had been playe1 /, and the score stood
tie. Memphis had retired its opponent in
the ninth inning without scoring. Memphis
was at the bat. Two men were out. Two
strikes had been called upon the man at the
bat. The next ball pitched came straight
toward him. Then it took sudden curve.
He swung his bat. Would he miss it? The
excitement was painful. There was quick,
short stroke. All he has hit the ball. Away
high in the air it sails. See, the center
fielder is chasing it. The spectators hold
their breath. Suddenly there is one tumul-
tuous shout. The ball has gone far over the
head of the fielder, who is chasing it.
Around the bases speeds the batter. He
touches the home plate and the victory is
won. Bouquets are showered upon him.
| He looks up just in time to see lovely girl
take bunch of roses and throw them at his
