Answering Questions,

The assertions of a
house OF character are
self-sustaining facts.
They may provoke
queries-doubtless d..
They prompt people to
ask themselves and
each other any number
of ridiculous questions
possibly you know
what they are. But
the best answer we can
think of to all these de-
laying problems is to
remind you that when
the hare and the turtle

heet-foated hare wasted

TuEFoILowING from the New YORK. Time,
proposes the only safe and peaceful aud
patriotic solution Of the yederal elections
controversy. There is some disposition
shown just now in the South TO revive a
project which shortly after the war at
tracted much attention tbero-the re-
guirement Of an educational dualifca-
iiou, which would have the effect OF
depIiying very large part Of the
negroes OF the suGraCe. while not offend

tile Federal Constitution. But the propo.
sitionis less likely 20 prevail now than when

well established in this country that the
right Of voting once recognized viii not be
taken away. The chief obstacle to such a
course is now, as 10 has been, that the
ignorant whites cannot be made TO vote
away their own rights even for the benefit
OF their race. What would be a much more
practical and effective measure OF protec-
ton in the South would be the Australian
ballot. With that, and a firm determine.

the highest figure received for rough

A gentleman living on the outskirts of
the city, near Black Rock, owns curiosity
the like of which Barnum never dreamed
of. It is deaf and dumb rooster full
grown, brilliantly plumed. brown Leghorn
chanticleer-that has lost his voice, can
neither crow nor cluck, nor make other
audible sound with his vocal apparatus:
does not wake up the neig cborhuod at 5
o'clock in the morning with an everlasting
cock-a-doodle-doo; does not give an alarm
of hawks every time black cl I'D crosses
the sun, but is still as much the lord of the
chicken park as ever.
He has not always been thus. Up to the
time he was eight months old he was as
noisy as any young rooster need be. Tnen
he got his head caught in a barbed wi q
fence In such way as to ma gle his neck
and probably tear out the vocal corls.
Losing the power to make sounds, he evil
den.ly forgot how to hear than. AT least
now, at the age Of three yea s, he gives no
evidence of nearing. But he makes his
eyes answer for ears and voice, too. If any
one waited proof that he was really
deaf and dumb, those ewes would be con-
vincing. There is nothing he does not see

When he gets challenge to fight he does

The nest remarkable thing about this
intelligent bird, however, is the fact that,

admonition to "shoo," and request to
come to dinner How he does it is a mys-
terry, butt it is believed that he tells By the

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
DAYTON, o., Dec. l8.-David Miller. a
bachelor farmer, residing near Arlington,
village in the northwestern part of this
county, complained to tho police to-day of
the loss by theft of 500, which he had de-
posted in beehive. Miller is the pro-
Drietor OF an apiarY, to which he devotes
the greater portion of his time aud atten-
ton. The affection was reciprocated ly
the honey-gatherers to an extent that he
could work among them with immunity.
This mutual confidence and regard created
in Miller an overcoufideace in the safety
and security of the beehive a de 1osltory
for savings rather than in bank vaults.
He tnus deposited his money, beginning
during the war, and with 81 in gold as a
nucleus.
In the many years following the bees kept
constant vigil and guard over the boarded
wealth, which had finally reached an &C.
emulation of $500.
A few nights ago burglar, regardless OF
the stlngs Of conscience or of bees, Invaded
the premises, kicked over the beehive and
got away with the savings. Miller proposed
to give the police one-half of the stoieu

police could offer Miller in return was to
