Order of the Garter.

"Honi soft qui NAL y pense," said the
gallant English monarch Edward III, as
he picked up a silken band of blue,
clasped with silver, which the beautiful
Countess of Salisbury lost as she stepped
a stately measure with his majesty at
the great court ball more than 500 years
ogo. "Honi soft qui NAL y pense," and
he clasped the ribbon about his left leg
just below the knee, thus creating him
self the first knight of the Order of the
Garter, whose emblem, a dark blue,
gold bordered band with a buckle and
pendant of silver, bearing the old motto,
has been and is still worn by all the
great knights and famous men in Eng
land.-New York Sun.

The Troublesomo Father-in.Lav.

Among the Piutes it is always the
father-in-law that makes the trouble.
Every married Piute is always glad
OF a visit from his mother-in-law. He
welcomes her with his broadcast grin.
The arrival of the mother-in-law gives
him a double team, where before he
had only one animal. He halls her
appearance with delight, and piling
a jackass load of wood upon her
willing old back, sends her into town
with his wife, similarly packed, to
peddle out the fuel and bring back to
him a supply of money for his favorite
game of poker. The Piute father-in-law
is no use as a wood packer, nor will he
gather grass seeds or pine nuts.-Vir.

1t is customary to say that when a
man survives three score years and ten
he is living on borrowed time. Some
men at rs consider themselves very
youthful, and instances are not uncom-
mon of hale and vigorous men who lack
less than a decade of touching par. They
had al old Indian from Monterey at the
state board of trade not long since, who
set up a claim of being $50 years of age.
He might have been younger-perhaps
older-but at any rate he was a tiptop
advertisement for the GLORIOUS climate"
although his complexion was a trife off
color and his skin looked like the tanned
hide of an alligator.-San Francisco Alta.

The reed bird of the Delaware and the
rivers and regions south of that stream
is the rollicking bobolink of IL New
England fields. Here is his true home,
even if his residence in it is not so long
as it is in the south. Here he is adorned
with a gay piebald coat. instead of the
somber suit of black in which he appears
when. in more southern ATTITUDES, and
here he nests and sings and rears his
brood. Here in the sunny green fields of
New England, through all the charming
May and for some way into June, he
pours out the most peculiar, the most
over bubbling, frolicsome, staggering,
rollicking and tipsy of all bird music.
He is not so abundant here as he was in
the days before lie was shot by the thou
sand by sportsmen as the reed bird of the
lower S~usquehanna and the lower Della
ware, and before a set of worthless men
and boys here in southern New England
acquired, through somebody's ingenuity,
a trap which catches him.
Connecticut fields are not SO filled as
they were fifty years ago with his swag-
gering and most peculiar tinkling song.
1t may be said of him and the knocking
bird that if both or either had been
known to Europe for the last two thou
sand years, and particularly to Italy,
Greece and England, there would have
been a greater fame for either than the
nightingale now has. But the pothunt-
ers for the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York markets are destroying the
bobolink as the reed bird, and the negro
with his shotgun blazing away at the
mocking bird Che can't shoot him except
when the bird is at rest) is fast COM
plotting what the nest robbing young n e
groes who supply northern buyers had
long ago begun-the destruction of the
superb mocking bird, the finest songster
as well as the most spirited and intelli-
gent of our American irds.-Hartford

Wonderful.

An Englishman, travelling in Burmah,
gives a laughable account of the astonish-
ment with which the natives regarded
his air pillow. The very ignorant, like
the very wise, find plentiful occasion for
wonder in whatto people in general seem
only commonplace objects and occur
rences.
Ibegan blowing upmy air pillow. The
Burman nearest my corner, who had
been watching my preparations for bed
with sleepy interest, sprang to life with
q start as he saw the pillow increasing in
bulk, and sat upright on his mat.
"Ahmayw-"mother!" he exclaimed.
"He Moung Gyeel 90 gyawl Poh giney"
ELI, you fellows! Look herel Look

Slumberers were rapidly awakened by
the noisy scrambling of the wakeful
members of the party; and was soor
surrounded by a crowd Of squattine
figures.

the scramble and the loudly murmuree
"Ahmaysl" as the pillow slowly swelled

Well lie knows tho vesper ringing

A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common of late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curious incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception. for what bet
ter is it in morals to take mans
time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-
chew all such lodges and patroniz-

An incident exciting both pity and
to some extent condemnation occurred
in this town recently. On the night
of the heavy snow a colored WON
an named Johnson, who had been de-
serted by her husband, gave birth 10
twins in the house "Aunt Winnie
owned. One of them died n short
time, no doubt owing partially at least
to neglect aud for five days the corpse
was kept in trunk, away from the
rats. While the colored people are
poor, tie neighbors think they are not
lsiameiess in this case Tor they should
certainly have relieved the woman's s
mental anguish by burying her dead
infant, regardless Of the snow.

ESCAPED AFTER ALL.
Frank Waitman Jumps From q
Running Train and 10 Free.

Crank Allen," whose right name is
George Waitm an, recently sentenced
to nine years imprisonment at Detroit
for stealing Bob knights mules and
"Mun" Blythe's horse, turned up at
Grayson Wills house last Sunday
morning week, in the heavy snow,
afoot. He aud fortytwo other pris-
oners, accompanied by sixteen guards,
were being conveyed to the house Of
correction in special car. Three of
them were shackled together but by
means of saw made from a corset
steel they cut themselves apart. Just
after the train left Lebanon, Mo-.
where the car windows were opened so
they could look out, Waitman and his
two companions jumped out Of the win
dow, feet first. AS Waitman, who
WAS last, was on the eve of jumping,
guard threw down" on him and
threatened to shoot but with the reply
"fre and be id" he disappeared.
Two shots only were fired and the
train was not stopped. AS one Of the
shots were fired Waitman saw one Of
his partners fall but did not stop TO
see whether he was killed or not.
After escaping from the train the fugi-
tive walked over to the Springfield and
Memphis road and by that made his
way into Kansas and got off the NJ, X.
& T., at this place early in the morn
ing Of the day named. From here he
walked out to Wills in the hope of
learning something of the whereabouts
Of his family, who he knew had moved
away. After eating his breakfast and
resting an hour or so he started across
the country for Big Cabin, expecting
to catch a train there for Texas He
had had but four meals in four days;
was entirely cut of money and wore u
low quartered shoe. He said he bore
no malice against Bob Knight or any
one else connected with his capture
except Bill Foreman and Fred Martin;
for them he chad it in" and sworo
vengeance If ne ever run across them,
The guards, Waitman said, Were drunk
and that made escape quite eaay.
