A Fighting a Looking Glass.

An amusing test of the differen &c Of dis
position in barnyard fowls may be made
by placing a piece of looking glass against
the trunk of a large tree, and laying a
train of corn in front of it. Some hens
will discover what they all take for a new
arrival with mild curiosity and merely
look at it intently, perhaps peering around
behind the tree, and then walk quietly
away. Others peck the glass angrily and
insist on fighting, while a few nervous fe-
males show much the same noisy excite
ment that seizeS upon most hens when
they spy a snake. We tried the valiant
old autocrat of the farmyard with this
trick, and he was at onee reused to fury.
Dropping his head when some ten feet in
front of the glass, he began the cautious
advance Of parallels, which every one ia
miliar with poultry has seen before a
fight. But, of course, he Don lost his ell
envy by moving too far TO one side. After
Growing fiercely and looking around I'M
easily for a few moments he returned to
the train of corn and almost instantly saw
the strange cock nearer than before. More
stealthy reproach, another failure to keep
sight of the foe, and greater excitement,
and a third time he began to eat, only to
he startled by the hostile presence nearer
than ever. At last he worked right up to
the glass and braced himself for the shock
of combat, the counterfeit, of course, fol.
lowing his every movement with ominous
CELEBRITY. There was one fierce peck at the
angry head in the glass and then a crash
as our Infatuated champion hurled himsel
against his likeness, breaking the glas,
into a hundred fragments. The minglin!
of establishment, rage and triumph in thi
birds appearance, as he whirled about
startled at the cracking noise, and bewild

envy, was comical to behold. Then h

He Knew a Freshet.

1t is quite natural for travellers in for
eign lands to compare objects seen there
with similar ones at home, though, in fact,
these comparisons are sometimes amusing,
as in the following anecdote:
An American traveller, while in Venice,
CHANGED to meet a fellow-countryman, and
entered into conversation. The stranger
was from the Mississippi river bottoms.
"What do you think of Venice ?" asked
our American friend.
swell, | don't reckon | oughter express
my opinion now, for l didn't git there till
after the overflow, an hain't had a chance
to see the town; but, as the water pears
to be on the stand-still, | reckon it'll begin
to go down pretty soon; but low that
when she starts, she'll go down right
smart"
"My gracious, man, this is not an over
flow"
"Then its about as lively a freshet as
ever | seed. In our country, when we
have to paddle round the streets in canoes
we call 1t a putty good overflow"
"You don't understand. This is Venice
and the water is always here"
"You don't say so. An does the Gov.
eminent have to issue rations to all these
folks ?"
"Of course no.. This town was built
this way to"
"Wall, that might be, but l call it a
overflow all the same; but if it amt goin
to fall enough for me to see the town, ]
reckon Pd better go. This is the blamedes'
swamp | ever seed "-Y Youths Companion.

Hard Times in the Confederacy."

Under the above title A. c. Gordon
contributes to the September Century an
anecdotal article, from which We quote as
follows: "The traditional rebel soldier in
the persimmon tree, who told his captain
that he was eating the green persimmons
in order to fit his mouth to the size of his
r%ations, epitomized in his epigrammatical
speech the history of the economic condi-
tions of the Southern States, both in the
field and at home, during the war of the
Rebellion. After the seaports of the
South had once become thoroughly block
AIDED, it was a continuous, and in the end
unavailing, struggle on the part Of the
people Of the Confederacy to accommodate
the status OF supply to that of demand.
after the war ended, a monthly mag
azine dedicated to perpetuating the rec
ords OF the war frJm Southern stand
point, and soon perishing in the vain en-
deavor, published rude wood-cut, which,
with its concomitant inscription, expressed
with great pith and point the e%xtremities
to which soldiers and home-folk alike
were reduced in the latter days of the con-
test. 1t represented two lank, lean,
lantren-jawed Confederates in a blackberry
patch. One of them on his knees, the
more readily to reach the palatable fruit,
is looking upward at his comrade with a
grim smile, and saying:
"'They can't starve us, nohow, as long
as ~blackberries last
"The vein of his self-gratulation and as
surance is readily acquiesced in and re-
enforced by the other, who responds in a
spirit of apt commendation, and with an
even larger and more catholic faith:
"'Naw, sir. And not as long as thar &
huckleberries, nuther. And when they 'ei
gone, come simmons
"To the uninitiated stranger who saw and
read, the rude cut and its underwater
legend, if considered at all, doubtless were
he'd coarse and witless; but to him who
knew the bitter meaning thereof, through
his own harsh experience, they spoken
with the emphasis of a stern and powerful.
significance"

Some Noted women swimmers.

The recent feat of 4 young lady who is
stopping at a fashionable hotel at Bath
Beach, L. l., has set the local swimmers to
talking. She swan down to the new iron
pier at Coney Island and back again one
day last week.
"Thats nothing wonderful" remarked
Emil Paul, the expert natatorial artist.
Miss lone Macdonald, an English girl, Is
years of age, was awarded the bronze
medal by the Royal Humane Society of
England at its last meeting for saving the
life of Miss A. Arthur, a lady % years
old. Miss Arthur was swimming in Ports
mouth harbor, near a yacht lying at anchor
200 yards from shore, when the vessel gave
a sheer of such Il violent nature as to alarm
and bewilder the swimmer. She lost her
presence of mind, and was evidently in
danger Of drowning.
Miss Macdonald, who saw her struggles
from the deck of the yacht, plunged into
the water without throwing off any of her
garments, swan to the lddy's assistance,
and succeeded in holding her head above
water until adequate help arrived. The
recor Is of the humane societies on both
sides of the Atlantic show that of late
years a fair proportion of their medals fall
to the lot of girls. There are seven nota-
BILE instances of rescue from drowning last
summer by girls under 20, and the present
summer has already added to the honor
able catalogue"
There were young girls at Newport last
summer who could float on the surface of
the ocean with no more difficulty than they
experienced in lying upon a sofa. They
could have ioated for hours if necessary.
Some of the most famous swimming feats
have been accomplished by very young
women.
A few years ago Miss Agnes Beekwith
swan in The Thames for six hours and
twenty-five minutes, accomplishing twenty
miles, and last summer a woman performed
something similar in New York harbor.
When she was IA she swan from London
bridge to Greenwich, a distance of five
miles, in one hour, seven minutes and
forty-five seconds. Three days after Emily
Parker, of the same age, sister of a rival
swimming teacher, tried to swim over the
same curse in less time, but failed by IF
teen seconds.-N. Y. Nal and Express.

OUR STATE.

From the snowy-tipped Sierras.
From the chain that guards the coast,
By the northern counties thousands.
BY the southern counties host
California's voice is lifted
In a clear and gladstone cali.
Giving greeting to her sisters
To her sisters, one and all.
Forty years ago the twilight
FellupOl the country wild.
Where the mountain lions threatened,
Where the t~reacheroCs Indians filed
In ifs thick and misty curtain
Wrapped and hid the missions gray,
Hiding, too, the roaming cattle
Herded in the mountain way.
From this lately Mexic country
Loud and wild a summons rolled.

Hither come to mine tor gold"
To the search for hidden treasures
Came the horde with eager zest
Gold they sought, and found it in this
FL Dorado of the West.
To the early gold excitement
Turn the thoughts of pioneers.
To the wondrous changes that have
Taken place in forty years.
Aud to-day we count her lifetime
In the Union. as a State
Proud TO show her glorious record
With her years-but hfrty-ei9ht.
All her rivers sing in triumph,
Ali her bays and calm lakes smile,
As she points to fruitful orchards
Stretching southwark, mile on mile.
AS she looks toward cities springing
Mid the varied flowers and vines,
To the earned wealth of grain fields
And the gold from thousand mines.
California, God has blessed her.
With a thousand gifts endowed;
And her grateful people thank Him
AS they pray, in reverence bowed.
Father, grant sublimer stanzas
OF her life-a poem grand
Still are hidden in the future
To be read at thy command.

SAN FRANCISCO STOCK SALES.
SAN FRANCISCO, September S, 1883.
MORNING SESSION
In an Old Flemish City.

No one was in hurry. The very beg
CARS had a lazy whine. The shopkeepers
mostly stood at their doors, listlessly chew
ing the stalk of some flower or staring be-
fore them with lack-luster eyes, while
humming a tune, nobly Indifferent to bust
ness. There was one curiosity shop that it
was difficult to pass, SO crammed were its
windows with carved ivory and carved
oak, with brass and bronze tortured into
shapes beautiful and grotesque, with ma
jolica-ware and Japan porcelain, missals
gorgeous with color, cobweb laces yellowed
by the age, and ancient weapons and books
and other relics of the past. But here, too,
the venerable owner of these treasures,
with horn-rimmed spectacles to assist
his bleared eyes, sat in a high-backed,
fifteenth century chair, porting over a tome
which was probably printed at a similar
date, and scarcely deigned to glance at the
stranger who was inspecting his stock in
trade. 1t was delightful tomark the indo-
lent enjoyment of the red-skirted boatmen
who lay languidly smoking on the raised
poop of the gaudy barges which lay moored
here and there on the wide canals, the
quays Of which were shaded by lime trees,
amid the rustling leaves Of which the bees
hummed noisily. 1t was hard to believe
hat this was the bustling, feverish, nine
tenth century, and that our W ~insular
Babylon was but a few hours journey from
this drowsy town.
At last, however, l found myself in a
street wider than the rest, along which
painted country wagons, full of la~ce-capped
and kerchiefed maids and matrons, OF
brass cans, baskets and empty crates, were
jolting and rafting with thunderous din
over stones, drawn by sleek, Withholding
horses, which seemed to wear the min
imum of harness and the maximum OF
bells, and which pranced and snorted in
their exultant strength. These belonged
evidently to well-to-do peasants. who had
sold their poultry and their tame rabbits,
their butter and general dairy produce,
and were now returning to the far-of
farms where they dwelt, among the pold.
ers, and the willows. and windmills, and
fat meadows, grazed by red and white
kine.=AU the Year Round.

him more deeply than a review article
that he imagines the sounds of the words
as he reads or writes land is usually thus
a slow reader that he repeats aloud
what he has written to judge OF its effect
he wants to know how cit sounds" even
when it Is only to be read; he observes
harsh sound denominations in style (the
