The Power of Kindness.

Hepburn Jones, of the Pittsburg
Dispatch, tells how he courted a mock
ing bird. Have you ever tried to Gull
tivate the friendship of a hooking
bird? he asks.
For many weeks | have been trying
to win the good will of talented bird
named Billy. Every effort | made
had been fruitless till Sunday last
Prior to that day he always saluted
me with a rasping sort of snort that
combined the ominous and irritating
qualities of dogs growl and rattle
snakes alarm.
On Sunday last, it may be remem-
bered, the clouds opened according TO
the schedule now forty days old and
the rain fell. The swarms of flies,
which are helping the rain to make
this month the beastliest on record,
retired from the outside into the
houses, or wherever dry shelter offer
ed.
The windows were filled with flies
and it was no trouble TO catch any
number of them. picked out about
twenty of the largest size and offered
them to the coy and cruel Billy, one
by one, at intervals of about three
minutes. Billy was conquered. He
is my sworn friend, and for my special
benefit will whistle anything from the
five-fngered exercise to chaste imita-
tons of a neighboring accordion,
which rends the twilight silence with
painful regularity whenever | appear.

For the CreduIous.

A native newspaper published al
Bltlis, in Asiatic Turkey, narrates the
following remarkable story: Three
Mussulman travellers were lately
journeying to Poulank. On arrivin o
at spot called Ahlat, on the lake OF
Van, one of them approached the
water and began his additions. As he
was dipping his feet into the lake he
uttered scream. His leg had been
seized in the jaw of marine monster,
which was dragging him into the
water.
His companions run to his assistance
and taking him by the hands thew sue
ceeded in bringing him ashore, but
what was their surprise when they saw
the monster also emerge from the
water firmly attached, by the teeth to
the calf of his leg. Knives, sticks, and
everything else that was brought to
bear upon the monster proved I'M
availing and at last the ingenious
travellers bethought themselves of a
heroic measure. They lit a good fire
and on it the jaw Of the obstinate ami
NAL holding the mans leg was placed,
the companions of the victim who was
yelling with pain all the while, stand
ing near to watcn the result.
The heat apparently aroused the
animal from its torpor. 1t began to
move its body and suddenly flew into
the air, still holding the man by the
leg. After flying up to a height of
about forty yards it directed its course
toward the lake, into which it plunged
with mighty splash, burying its VIC
tim in the depths of the water

Another Lincoln Story.

Apropos or the exposure in last Sun
days SIM of the names of many prom
jnent Republicans who attempted in
1864 to force Abraham Lincoln off the
the Republican ticket, in the belief
that he was doomed to be defeated if
he staid on, / am reminded of a good
story which has gone the rounds of the
Boston clubs for twenty years past,
but, which, nevertheless, may bear re-
peating. The notorious John B. AL
ley, the miser-millionaire of Lynn, was
one of those prominent Republicans
who, in the summer of 1864, thought
it their duty to try and persuade Mr..
Lincoln to withdraw.
Mr.. Alley went to the White House
and engaged the President in CONVEX
sation which he gradually led around
to the point which he desired to en-
force
Mr.. President" said Mr.. Alley, 81
have been travelling for the last few
weeks through the West, and | have
also been in New York a good deal,
and wherever have gone | have found
a decided feeling that you ought not
to run again for the Presidency"
President Lincoln eyed the Lynn
Cresus with great gravity for a few
seconds, and then exclaimed, in his
drollest drawl:
why, Mr.. Alley. whatever kind of
company have you been keeping?"-
