Polly With a Jag On.

There was an amusing little scene in
the Mercy Hospital recently, As thost
visitors to the hospital know, q large
green PARROT, of evil intlinations and
strident voice, is confined in the drug
room, near the entrance hall. The par
fot's cage is frequently opensd to admit
food and other neressatles. One day the
hospital hall boy, who has charge of
Polly, didn't close the portals of her
prison properly, and this fact was speedi.
ly ascertained by the sagacious bird.
Nobody WAS around, 80 the prisoner
slipped her bolts and stepped out. Now,
q small cup containing pure alcohol lay
on the counter OF thb drug room, and
Polly oteeted her course toward that cup.
She was thirsty and here vas something
drinkable. Polly drank-inteDding like
many another, only to take one drink and
then depart. But alas! The drink led to
many others, and, sad to relate, Polly
soon became intoxicated.
Just then one of the house physicians
entered, and the depraved bird swore at
him with frightful vehemence, and bit
aim in the hand. Then, half flying, half
leaping, Polly descended to the floor and
commenced to make for the entrance hall
with unsteady gait, swearing in " anner
that made the waiting visitors stop their
ears. Just then one OF the Sisters arrived
On the scene and found this frightful ex
ample to all birds blaspheming in the
centre of the hall while the visitors we're
retreating in all directions Aid was
promptly summoned Polly was locked
up and removed into room where she
could sober up, and the entrance hall re
shmed its normal quietude.-Ffons the

The Mysterious Knockings.

RALEIGH, N. G, April G.-There is the
greatest sensation at Tarboro ever known
in the history of that town, or in that
part of tbs State. A few nights past
strange knockings were heard in the room
of house occupied by Mr.. Shaw and
family. The knockings were first heard,
after daughter, aged fourteen, had re-
tired. She was frightened badly, as it
was found that the sounds were made at
her commands, but no other. Shaw told
of the occurrence. Crowds began to
visit the house. The girl became very
excited and nervous, but was prevailed
upon to ask questions. The crowds have
become so large that the house could not
hold them. At times there are hundreds
in the streets, all waiting to hear it.
Some nights the girl has not remained at
home, but on these occasions the noises
are said to have been heard where she
was. Wednesday night she was at MIR.
Terrel's. On her retiring the knocking
was beard on the wall. The knocking
cannot in any way be accounted for by
those who have heard it. 1t is dull
sound that cannot be initiated. Super
stition is rife, and many persons would
not occupy the house for any sum. Some
regard the girl as spirit medium, and
this only as first manifestation of that
power. Others still think it some secret
agency that will soon be discovered.

Talmage on Tornadoes.

DR.. Talmage thus writes of the Louis.
Vile calamity in an editorial in the
Christian Herald Of April q.
Sympathy is an insufficient word when
we try to express our feelings toward
Louisville and other neighborhoods struck
by the wing of an archangel of tempest.
Both northern and southern city, and
having in the roll other citizenship many
of the best people of both sections.
Louisville's disaster is The disaster of
America yea, of the whole civilized
world. Lovelier city stands not under the
sun. Her hospitalities are without limit.
Her quick responses when other cities
are in trouble, and her queenly behavior
toward Memphis and New Orleans and
Jacksonville when the yellow Fever was
let loose upon them will wiu for her any.
thing she may need, if disposed to call
for it. Whole villages prostrated in the
same companionship of woe, and
large districts afflicted with lighter
or heavier STROKE, the question
arises ir all hearts, What can we
dof At this writing. and before
all the terrible facts are known, plans of
relief have not yet been projected, but
Louisville shall not sit solitary, and the
villagers of Kentucky and Illinois and
Tennessee will not be left homeless.
What does it all mean? Some think
these cyclones are 8 result of the. cutting
down of the forests. Perhaps 80, and
perhaps not. Cyclones do not roll on
the ground, where the trunks and branch
es of trees could arrest them. They fly
so high that We are doubtful whether the
ruthless American ax is responsible for
their devastation. We have this theory /:
Satan is 'the prince of thu power of the
air." and perhaps the mighty progress of
truth and righteousness and liberty in our
time may have especially apgered him,
and if he cannot stop the chariot of the
gospel. perhaps he is trying to stop tbs
prosperity of the cities. The better a
city, and the better village, and the
better neighborhood, the greater his
spite against it. Meanwhile we snatch
up morning and evening papers at the
first moment of their arrival, hoping to
read that some Of the accounts have been
exaggerated. But no. This tragedy Of
America deepens in blackness and horror
ss the hours 60 by, aud nothing but the
revelations of the last day can tell the
extent of this atmospheric mischieH OF
explain the height and depth of this
national calamity Let all who have q
roof over their heads and an unbroken
family circle appreciate their mercies,
and do everything possible to help lit
the scourged districts out of tbs want aud
wretchedness into which they have fall.
en-. May God help the helpless and
comfort the comfottless, and give us to
learn the uncertainty Ct all earthly cal.

treasures in place where hurricanes can.
