An extraordinary story is related Of Q

1t appears that a juggler, with his wife,
goat and two monkeys, was attacked by
two natives, who killed oil except the
male monkey, which escaped, aud the ns.
tives buried the bodies in a jungle.
The male monkey took its station
upon big tree and watched

mans leg aud dragged him TO where the
bodies were buried. The bodies were ex.
humed. sfter which the monkey showed
the way to finding the murderers. The
animal took the constable in another d.

and seized one Of the murderers, who was
going to bathe, by the neck aud waited
till the constable arrived. This led to the
detection Of the murderers.

Raising babies Of premature birth by the

freak of medical science at the Woman's
hospital, Philadelphia. For the first time
this process was put to practical test ten

clothes and placed in the incubator. The
baby is thriving under the process and ap-
parently edjoylng the best Of health. Her
weight at the time of her birth was about
three pounds, or one-half the weight of
the average newborn child. The incuba-

pounds within ten days. She rests in the
incubator constantly except when taken
out to receive nourishment or when she is
given sponge bath. The former operation
occurs three times day and the latter

The appearances now are that the pro-

the Illinois Central positively refuses to

join only on condition that the Burlington

heard from the latter company. 1t was
proposed in effect to at least make a show
of perfecting an agreement with such COM

agreed to. Meantime the erst- while ad-
yocates of the agreement are busy point
ing out that its virtual failure doesn't
amount to SO much after all; that the

tory; is much much more binding, and

when the Administration Changes.


Whom the Administration Changes.
About two-thirds of the republican
meml ers of the present house of repre-
sentatives who were not reelected las:
November expect appointments under the
incoming administration, says recent
Washington special. Several of them
have secured signatures to petitions to
General Harrison while others have asked
their Legislatures or constituents to give
them endorsements. Some Of them want
to 60 abroad while others desire to be on
the bench, collectors of customs, or inter-
nal revenue, and others want positions in
the departments here. There IS men,
ber of congress aspiring TO about half Of
the good positions IN Washington. Some
of them undoubtedly deserve recognition,
while others were defeated on account of
the waning of their popularity among
their constituents, and therefore their ap-
pointment would not be as popular in their
district as If some other men were selected.
There was q big pile Of mail for General
Harrison at the Washington postofiice
prior TO his arrival. About bushel Of
letters had heen kept for him. They com.
menced to arrive about the 18th, and have
been pilinR mp very rapidly since.
