morning before the travellers fairly got
to sleep, and it seemedto Mr.. Eichberg
that he scarcely closed his eyes before
he was aroused by the doleful sound
of a violin IN a room overhead, where
some one vas at work upon an exer,

too familiar.
For an interminable hour he tossed
about, hoping hat the noise would
cease; then he rose and dressed and

Eiehberg, sternly, that has been max

The boy turned and looked at him,

SWALLOWS AS MESSENGERS.
a Proposition to Substitute Them For
Carrier Pigeons.

4 Proposition to Substitute Them For
Carrier Pigeons.
For some time past great deal has
been said about the wonderful progress
made in continental countries with car
ricr pigeons, and of tho large numbers
that arc ready for immediate service in
case war should break out. Military
men acknowledge that they will form a
very important adjunct to the signal
corps, and havo encouraged their
breeding. There is rival to tho pigeon
looming up in the shape of the swal-
low, and application has recently been
mado to the French Minister Of War to
substitute them for pigeons.
The idea is now started for the first
time, although it is Il most excellent
enc. Pliny relates that u Roman noblo
named Cmcina. who had racing stable,
employed swallows to take to Rome tho
news Of the result of the chariot races
In those times things were conduc ted
in more or less style. Four horses from
tho same stable were harncssed to a
car, and the swallows returned to these
nests bearing the colors of tho winners.
Pliny also tells of 4 garrison that was
cut of by enemies from all colnmunica-
ton with tho outer world and whose
hopes were only kept up by tho arrival
OF swallow from friendly allies A
thread was fastened to the leg OF
swallow and number OF knots were
tied in it These Indicated tho DAYS
that would elapse before tho arrival Of
succor, so that when the day arrived tho
garrison sailed out, and tho besiegers,
being unable to stand the com bined at
tack, were forced to withdraw
1t has been satisfactorily proved that
the training OF the birds requires only a
few weeks. A farmer trained lot of
swallows in three weeks SO that they
wcro perfectly tractable. At a public
exhibition recently given, he had diff
fercnt-colored ribbon tod to ono of the
feet of each of tho birds, and then
opened tho door OF the cage Away
flew the birds TO the four winds and tho
spectators thought that they had soon
the last of Thorn, but after awhile first
one and then another returned with tho
same rapidity with which they had do
parted and perchcd on tho finger OF the
tamer who returned thom to their cage.
The swallow is, as messenger, con-
sidered by those who have had ample
opportunity for comparison, superior to
tho pigeon. His flight is higher, more
rapid, and no is more faithful, moro in
telligcnt, and easier to take care OF. In
long flights he does not have TO stop so

THE CAPTAINS REVENGE.

The following anecdote, says Cassei's
Magazine, gives an interesting insight
tnto tho prejudices common among GER
tain people in America in connection
with the Sunday question many years
ego Tho story is told as follows in
the Universal Magazine for 1775: .Some
years ago commander of one of His Ma

tly. that he returned from ono of his
cruises on n Sunday, and as he had left
his lady at Boston, tho moment sho
heard of the ships arrival she FASTENED
down to tho waters side in order TO ro-
coivo him. The Captain on landing
embraced hor with tenderness and af-
lection. This, az there wero manv
spectators by, gave great oifensc, and

and fragrant proclamation of tho Sab.
bath
Tho next day, therefore, he was sum-
moned before tho magistrate, who, with
many severe rebHlScs and pious exhorta-
tions, ordered him to be publicly
whipped. Tho Captain stihod his in
dignaton and resentment as much as
possible, and as the punishment, from
tho frequency OF IT, was not attended
with any great degree of igncmi2y or
disgrace 10 mixed with tho bost com
pany, was we'll received By .hom, and

They accepted his invitation, and moth

at length the fatal moment arrived
that was to separate them; the anchor

nothing moro was wanting than tho

aitor taking an affectionate leave OF
his worthy friends, accompanied them
upon deck, where tho boatswain and
crow were in readiness to receive them.
He there thanked them afrcsh for the

he said no should retain an eternal ro-

snow embargo is still on, so far at
least, as transportation with any
wheeled vehicle is concerned. and for
any effort that is being made by the
county or cooperative officials to relieve
us OF 1T, it is likely to remain. Our
only salvation for any communication
with the outside world will be through
the INTERPRETATION of nature. This
state of affairs might have been suited
to all requirements sof the place and
people in the past. but for the new and
younger life that is being infused into
1t, some more modern means will have
to he resorted to.
Much Inconvenience has been felt by
tho land companies and business portion
OF the community over the stoppagc of
the mails, and loud complaints from all
sides have been heard at tho indi.fer-
encc shown by tho parties having the
carriage and transportation Of them in
charge. IL is not unlikely that an APP
peal will be made to tho department. Mt
Washington for relief in the event OF a
like occurrence.

A few years ago, riding up town in a
Madison avenue car, l was seated op-
posite tho gentleman who is best re-
membered as Josh Billings. Tho rear
platform was somewhat crowded, and in
the course Of our ride one of tho pas
sengers stepped off and on several times,
in order to assist the lady passengers.
Finally, when the car was just comfort
ably filled, and tho courteous gentle-
man had taken his seat inside, Josh
Billings. seeing an opportunity for a
joke, bcckoned to the conductor, and
pointing to the stranger, said:
