THE BOY THAT WHISTLES.

sance of all Is the boy who whistles.
One of them came into my Office with
message when was busy. AS he opened
the door he began an obligato with his
mouth, and by the time he left had
whistled everything from 'Boulanger's
March to Home, Sweet Home.' 1t
wasn't plain, everyday whistle, either,
but a strident. harsh music that must
have rasped every portion of his vocal
chords as it came out.
Then there's the fresh boy, too. He's
about as bad as the whistler. The other
day called for boy, but had to go out
before he came. / left word for him to
wait till / came back. Well, sir, when
returned there was the boy seated at

which are quite as novel as those which
were expressed by the statesmen whose
opinions were recently set forth. For
example, have found distinguished
man who is an admirer of Shakespeare s
works, yet he admits that Donnelly
raises doubt in his mind as to whether
William Shakespeare was the poet of all
the ages. From the mouth of Senator
Davis have listened to a disquisition
III itself. All of these things and many
more give, 1 think, fresh interest to a
subject fresh in itself, and, believe, of
interest at all times.

French Women and Strasburs.

Gen. Boulanger repudiated to our

on the women of France, the remark at

not single mother in Bordeaux or Mar

her son to die for the sake of restoring

France. 1t will be interesting to see
whether the description of the massacre
of French sons in 1870 will increase the
willingness of French mothers in 1888

1t Used to Tick for Gen. Putnam


In the Office Of the Henry Bill Pub
fishing company of this city, in dusty
nook, is the big clock which used to
tick for Gen. Israel Putnam, and that
the bluff Revolutionary soldier had to
wind nightly with crooked iron key
nearly as big and heavy as a wagon
wrench. 1t is seven feet five inches
tall, the case is of polished cherry. and
the dim, decorated face is bigger than
the full moon looks to be. About the
dial the woodwork projects in the shape
of a miniature square house, with
curved ornamental pieces at the top
and with pilasters on each side. The
clock records the days of the month as
well as the daily time. Inside the case
four-foot pendulum swings leisurely
to q loud sing-s0ng tune, and five-pound
leaden weights on double cords make
the massive machinery revolye. With
the clock goes written attestation,
pasted on its back, from the seller to the
owner, of its genuinenesS.
