A PECULIAR STONE.
It Possesses the Flexibility of a Piece of
India Rubber.

The Washington Star gives an inter-
esting account of stone belonging to
the chief clerk of the War Department..
1t weighed about pound, and was IS
inches in length, q in width, and ] OF
an inch thick. On picking il up from
the desk. when his attention was. called
to it, a reporter noticed that it bent
slightly at the ends, and had the feel
ing Of an elastic substance. On re-
moving the wrapper, however, it was
seen to be a hard, compact piece oil
sandstone, of a light yellow color, with
the ends cut to points. The texture OF
the stone was fine. and presented no
evidence of qualification, and was
smooth over the entire surface. A
knife-blade made no impression on the
particles. There was no doubt as to
its being a genuine stone, but it never
theless possessed the aexibility of
piece of India rubber. When taken in
the hand and shaken in the direction
and forth with dull, muffled sound.
The movement was more of laXity
in the adhesion apparently, than an
elasticity. When held horizontally by
one end the other would drop and re-
main in that position. With the two
ends supported on rests the free center
could be pressed half an inch below the
middle line. With one end held firmly
on the desk the other could be bent up
ward over an inch. The movement
was not confined to the one direction
in the plane of the fiat surfaces-but
the entire stone seemed to be con-
structed on the principal OF auniversal
Joint. with a movement perceptible in
all directions under pressure.

THE TELEGRAM.

is this the elgra2h once"
Asked a childish voice one day,
ASH noted the click Of my instrument
With its message from far away.
AS It ceased, turned; at my elbow
Stood the merest scrap of a boy.
Whose clil1ish face wa, all glow
With the light OF D hidden Joy.
The golden curls on his forehead.
Shaded eyes OF the deepest blue,
As il bit OF the summer SKY
Had lost IN them its hue.
They scanned my office rapidly,
From cell n down to floor,
Then turned on mine their eager gaze,
As he asked the question DER:
"Is this the telegraph ofilcer
alt is, my little man"
said. pray tell me what YOU want
And TIlhelp you II can"
Then the he eyes grew more eager.
And the breath came thick and fast;
And saw within the chubby hands,
folded paper grasped.
'Nurse told me-" he said, that the lightning
Came down on the wires, some day;
And my mamma has gone to Heaven,
And I'm lonely since she is away,
For my papa is very busy,
And hash muCh time for me.
So thought I'd write her letter.
And I've brought it for you to SEQ.

Could read out quick, the name,
And carry it straight to my mamma.
And tell her how it came;
And now, won you please to take it,
And throw it up good and strong.
Aeainst the wires in funder shower,
AMI the lightning will lake it along"
All! What could tell the darling!
For my eyes were filling last;
Itnrncd away to hide the tears,
But cheerfully spoke at last!
It'll do the best can. my child"
Twas all that could say;
THANK you" he said then scanned the sky,
DO you think it will funder today?
But the blue sky smiled in answer,
An tic sun shone dazzling bright,
Aud his face as he slowly turmoil away,
Lost some OF its glldsome light
''Butnurse, he sld IF stay so long,
Won't let me c>me any more;
