Care Of Young Lambs.

A newly dropped lamb is in

ut times realized from ten dollars
down to three dollars and u half

lambs, and these small sums may
make up in the aggregate. alargc

their weak and helpless stage, and

Over. feeding is the great danger.
A small quantity of warm, fresh

Pulling n President cut Of Bed.

Willie his father was President
young John Van Buren, Waited
England, and, as the son Of the
President of the United States, he
received great attention. He dined
with the Queen, who was then y
young girl, where his superior
grace of manners, fine conversation.
al powers, wlticism made him ap.
pear to greater advantage than did
the titled ,lunseys who were around
her Majesty. He attended one OF
the balls at Buckingham Palace
and danced with her, and the story
was told that her Majesty became
very sweet on him. 1t was this in.
cident ,ha; gave him the cosnomen
of "Prince John." There was an.
other story in circulation about
him which illustrated his want OF
special reverence for his father.
The old gentleman and John had u
bad habit Of lying in bed late iu the
morning. Finally one day tho Tor.
mer said to his son that u ieforin
must be instituted-that both must
rise earlier. The hopeful agreed,
and suggested that the first one
who got up should 80 TO the room
of the other and pull him out OF
bed. This was agreed to. John was
out all the following night OF u
"bum,' and did not reach home till
next morning about 8. He went to
his fathers room and took hold OF
him for the purpose ofpulling him
out ,i bed. The old gentleman pro.
tested against being disturbed, say
inc he had not had sufficient sleep.
"Look here, governor, 1t was your
own proposition that We should in'
s,itute u reform in regard to lying
m bid 40 late. Here am at your
request, anu you won't fulfill your
part Of the agreement. Remember,
tho one who got up first was TO pull
the other one out OF bed. So now
get up or I'll pull you out" Tell 1t
not IN Gath! The young scamp
made the President Of the United
States get up in spite OF himself.
After seeing the old gentleman
dress himself, the rascal snakei in.
to his ,own room and was soon
fast asleep. The story got out by
John telling 1t OIL his father to u lot

Freaks OF Vegetation IN Cuba.

On first visiting Cuba l found
myself astonishcd Mt every turn
and corner by freaks of vegeta-
ton that were so common there
that no one seemed to consider
them worthy Of notice. Here
was a tall palm tree With u trunk
bigger ut the top than Mt tho bot
tom, like an inverted oil flask or
carrot with its point stuck in the
ground. In another place, clam
5ering over the gW den fence, were
slender deciduous vines ladened
with clumps of fercc, tortuous
thorns thicker than the main stem
of the plant. resembling clusters
of small buffalo horns and as hard
as steel. In the same garden
grew u tree about as largo as one
Of our northern apple trees, and
bearing II flower the size of a Mus
covy duck, which it exactly re.
sembled in form, bill, wings, tail
and all, though in color nearly
white, with portions shadowing
off into II delicate pink. These
monster flowers either hung ny
their bcaks to the limbs of the
tree or lay scattered in profusion
OH the grass below, where they
rcsembled u flock of water-fOwls
swimmingin n pond.

deucy on the part Of vegetation

OIL the ninth verse OF the sixth

A Titled Hangnan.

The officer of execution is one
which VIC can hardly imagine any
man of ordinary human feelings
would voluntary assume, But
this is Just what an English bar
onct is said to have done recently.
Tho story is that he assisted the
hangman in inficting the death
penalty upon three burglars who
killed u police officer after cele-
brated robbery 81 England few
months ago. He explained his
conduct by saying that he desired
the experience in case he should

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The death this morning of ex-Governor Hahn, the sole Re publican member of Congress from Louis jana, was scarcely surprise to his intimate friends, though it's suddenness was shock. He had been suffering greatly for weeks with very severe cold and was only occa- sionally able to leave his room at Willards. When an attendant entered his room this morning he found him dead and covered with blood from ruptured blood vessel, caused by fit of coughing. A painful rumor thus spread rapidly over the city that he had committed suicide by cutting his throat.
 Governor Hahn was 8 bachelor, and though of genial disposition was somewhat solitary in his habits. He has widowed sister and two married nieces in this country. He was a native of Bavaria. The district which he represented in Congress covers the upper part of the city of New Orleans and one or two sugar parishes. It is probably Demo cratic. The accident of car drivers strike on election day, added to his personal popu- larity among his political opponents, secured his election.
 Immediately after the reading of the jour nal the House of Representatives adjourned ont of respect to the memory of Represent a. tive Hahn.

 Day.

Day.
 WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. J. Harris Rogers continued his testimony before the Pan-Electric telephone committee to-day. He explained what he did in the way of dis tributing stock for the company He had retained as his share of the stock $170, ,000 and had given S100,000 to Rev. Father Rochfort of St. Dominick's church, this city; S10,000 to MT. Price, then Indian commis- sioner, etc. The company divided the mon ey procured from the sale of the $500, ,O00 stock retained for and refused by Repre- sentative Abraham Hewitt, of New York and purchased by Senator Vest and some lady friends of Senator Harris. MT. Rogers stated that his father had made application for some appointment in either judicial de- pertinent or the diplomatic service, and that he was recommended by some of his associ- ates in the Pan-Eleetric telephone company MT. Rogers reiterated that Colonel Young had assured him on two occasions last July that Attorney General Garland would bring aside the Bell patents. This assurance was given in connection with conversations re- lating to suits then pending by the Pan-Elec- tric company against the Bell company. MT. Rogers never heard, he said, any talk about legislating in favor of the Pan-Electric com pany except in connection with the postal telegraph bill. It was thought some of the inventions owned by the Pan Electric com pany could be disposed of to the government and it was then that Senator Harris stated that when the postal telegraph bill came before the Senate he would rise and an- nounce that he was interested in telegraph inventions and would not vote on the bill The object in giving stock to the public mon who came into the company was to secure their legal talent, their business experience and their names. No one in the company depended upon the officials taken into the company to secure legislation or anything improper. The official positions held by these men were important only in giving them standing. At the conclusion of MT. Rogers testimony the committee adjourned to 12 o'clock on Wednesday next
