Ruined by q Parrot.

Mr.. Brown had a bird dog
"a very handsome hunter
and lmust tell you how he was
spoiled for hunting. 1t was
SO funny a circumstance tha,
his master always laughed
when he told the story. al
though he was much vcxcd to
lose SO good a game dog
His housekeepcr had a parro,
given to her, and the first time
the dog came into the room
where the bird was he stopped
and pointed The parrot
slowly crossed the room and
came up in front Of the dog
and looked him square in the
eye, and then, after a moment,
said: You're a rascal" The
dog was SO much astonishcd
to hear a bird speak THAT he
dropped his tail between his
legs, wheeled about and ran
away, and from that day to
this he has never been known
to point" at a bird.

{. w. Russell, a prominent
business man, wears the big
gest hat in town, il not in the
whole country. He is a large
well proportional man. and
one would not for a moment
imagine he wore an S5s hat.
1t is a fact, however. There
is only one establishment in
the country where they have a
block large enough to build a
hat for Mr.. Russell, and that
is located at Bethel. Conn. In
all probability Russell would
have to go hatless if The man
ager Of the Bethel factory had
not made a block expressly
for him. Mr.. Ames exhibited
this enormous hat to a large
number of persons yesterday.
1t fitted a man who wore a TX
hat like a circus tent over a
balloon. A box had to be
made specially for it. The
brim is a fraction over three
inches wide from the body to
the rim all around.

A STRANDED WHALE.
A Monster of the Deep Captured
at Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC Cry. March 90
a S,ooo-pound, thirtccn-fcct-
long, female whale lies on an
elevated platform at the foot
Of South Carolina avenue. 1t
was captured last night aftcra
lively tusslc by the crew of
the lower liic-saving station.
1t had stranded on the bar OPP
posite the Dry Inlet and was
in about as bad a plight as the
ferry-boat George Law last
Sunday, unable to so either
way, VIM. Lodcr, one of the
station men. was the first to
sight the monster, and, follow
ed by several other members
of the lifc-saving crew. deter
mined to capture it.
Armed with long knives
they wadcd toward the bar and
after a plucky struggle sue
cccdcd in scvcring the mon
stcrs wind-pipc. 1t was cart
ed up the beach to its present
position last night, and up to
this time has been viewed by
hundreds of the hotel guests.
1t has an immense mouth in
the middle of its face and an
exceptionally long nose. As
the monster was captured by
government employees, it will
probably be sent to Washing
ton in a few days.

UNIoNrowN,PA Pa, March 25.-
Samuel Hurbcrt. who was one
Of the victims of the same gang
who raised the reign of terror,
died at McClcllandtown to-
night. He was eighty years
old, has been a miscr, and is
supposed to have had a large
sum Of money saved and stor-
cd away somewhere, being
distrustful Of banks. This
fact led to his capture in his
house, near l'airchancc. one
night last summer, by the rob
Der gang, who burned his feet
with candles and held him
over a fire, using every device
conceivable to force him TO dis
close where his wealth was hid
den. but in vain. The old
man never fully recovered
from the shock thus received.
and heart disease was the
cause of his death. Rather
than touch his hoard, he al
lowed his house at l'airchancc
to be sold by the sheriff a
r,onth ago. He knew death
was staring him in the face
for the past week and several
times was on the point of dis
closing its hiding place. once
going SO far as to say it was
put away in a box. but became
chokcd up and could not speak
further. When he was gasp

night. he tried to tell his at
tcndant, but had only gaspcd,
Bob. the box IS when he
was seized with a choking fit
and died. His relatives are

THERE IS NO DEATH.
BULwER's LAST POEM.

There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairy shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forcvcrm0rc.
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow truit,
Or minbOw tinted flower.
The granite rocks disOrganize
To feed the hanging moss they bear;
The fOrcst trees drink daily lite
From out the yicwlcss mir
There is no death. The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fi,lc aud pass away,
They only wait through wintry hours
For coming Of the May.
There is M death. An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread:
lie hears our best loved things away,
And thcn-w call them dead
lie leaves our hearts all dcsolatc:
lie plucks our fairest. sweetest flowers
Transplantcd into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The birdlikc voice whose joyous notes
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife.
Sings now an everlasting song
Amidst the trees of life.
And when hc finds smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for laint or voice,
lie hears IL To that world 0f light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life.
They leave us but To come again;
With joy we welcome them the same,
Except In sin and pain.
And ever near us. though unseen.
