TeIltale Polly,


A lady living in the far west has a
parrot whose powers of mimicry are
really wonderful. II will frequently
repeat whole sentences in the exact
tone OF the speakers, although il can
mrely BE- induced to utter the same
entehce twice. HSs-Apzas
One day when the parrots mistress
was very busy. and did not care TO see
callers, she happened TO look out Of
the window, and saw an acquaint.
snce approaching the house.
There comes Mrs. b Dear,
deari' she said. in a tone Of impa.
hence.
A moment later Mrs. B. was ush.
cred in, and on the instant Polly ex-
claimed, with a remarkable imitation
dher mistress tone and emphasis,
'sThere comes Mrs. B--l Dear,
dearl'
Blushing with confusion, the en-
barrassed hostess ~innocently made
matters wors by saying hastily
'Oh, please excuse Polly, Mrs.
B. You know what a way she
has of repeating everything | sayl"-

Why is the cotillon the most popu-
lar dance in Francel And why is il
30 little danced in England, aud then
IN a MANNED and abbreviated forml
The answer seems 10 be, that its gay
frolics suit the French character, and
that they do not suit nearly so well
the more staid, possibly the more pom
derous, humor Of the English. The
most sublime OF all the arts is TO look
foolish gracefully. Few Englishmen
can learn TO do that; butto the French
man il is easy enough. lie is less self
conscious than the mar Of ~peridious
Albion, and thoroughly enjoys an ex.
hibition which would make a good
many Englishmen decidedly uncom-
Portable. To be pulled through a
paper screen like a circus rider by
your partner, TO have a paper bag put
over your head, 10 waltz with a doll
or to b~eeompelled TO jump Y e chalk
line before you can get a partner;
these are gambols TO which an Eng
iishman does not take very kindly.
Yet it is undeniable that the cotillon
Is very amusing, and that it provides
even more precious opportunities for
Irritation than more formal and state
~ figures. And il is understood that
young ladies highly appreciate the
presents, sometimes very rich and
rare, which fall 10 their share when a
wealthy hostess gets up a cotillon.
Yet for the divers causesa aud consid-
erations which have been enumerated
the cotillon will probably never be
very popular in England. St James

land seals. The ice was fairly black
with them. II was impossible TO hunt
them in the moving ice, but during
the afternoon the suowstorm ceased
and the ice packed. Then everybody,
old women, boys, girls, old men,
priests and farmers from miles around
armed themselves with clubs. hatchets
or any other weapon they could get
hold of, and went on 10 the ice after
the seals. II was a fearful slaughter,
and the poor animals seemed 50 dazed
by the sudden attack that they wereab-
%solutely incapable of making any es'

cient TO settle them. and before night
every person that could walk had his

In Gaspe there were over 1000
killed, and one priest had 300 TO his
credit. Along the north shore, from
Cape Tiennot TO the Mingan Isles,
there were 1900 taken. and in the Is
quimaux Isles the slaughter was fear

been at least 800, 600 seen altogether,

The Canals of Mars.

As 10 the nature Of the canals, il is
still more difficult 10 suggest any salts.
factory explanation. Several hypo.
theses have been presented, none Of
which appears entirely 10 meet the
case. | have already remarked that
there has not been lacking the sugges-
ton that these curious streaks repre-
sent the lines of actual artificial water
courses on Mars. The straight and
undertaking course which they pursue
might be regarded as lending some
degree Of probability TO such a view;
but the enormous scale on which they
exist seems Ia compel the rejection Of
the hypothesis. IL is true that, if we
consider only the influence o. the
force OF gravity on Mars, giants could
dwell upon that planet whose
mechanical achievements might vastly
surpass the greatest performances Of
our engineers; for a body weighing a
ton on the earth would weigh only
seventy hundred and sixty pounds on
Mars, and, on the other hand, a man
on Mars possessing relatively the
same activity as u OF US might be
fifteen feet tall and strong in proper
ton. But, even granting the exist
snce of such a race of Goliaths on our
neighbor world, it is not conceivable
that they could have constructed a
system Of tremendous canals over half
the surface Of their planet, or that
they would have done II il they could.
The canals OF Mars are enormously
disproportioned in magnitude 10 the

regard for the law Of gravitation

Thinks Wei of Lancaster.

From Reformed Mes engcr Editorial.
We predict that the meeting of the society
of ministers for rest and mutual edfication
nj Lancaster during the month OF August
viii turn out TO be not only pleasant but
profitable to all who may attend. The col
'leeo campus on the heights of Lancaster,
with its cool breezes and its shady retreats,
is just the place for a summer retreat. We
know of few places that excel ii in this re-
spect. II has also an intellectual atmos-
phere, aud, with our younger ministers at
least, many hallowcd associations
Tho regular members will no doubt MAKE
out the week, others all are invited guests
-may tarry only for day, but there are
some who will wish to stay longer. and
they arc invited to do so. There IS plenty
OF room for them in Harbaugh hall, and
Lancaster has by far the largest and the
best markets in the United States for a
place OF all sizo. This we think will be ad-
mitted by all good Judges
