HOAR PARALYZED.
From a Washington Letter.

Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts,, re-
ceived a deadly insult to-day from.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, during
the discussion on the Montana confess
ted election cases. Mr.. Morgan had
no intention of offending Mr.. Hoar,
but he did so in a most cruel manner.
by referring to Senator Evarts as
'sconfessedly the ablest member of the !,
committee on privileges and elections. y.
Mr.. Hoar happens to be chairman of
the committee, and when Mr.. Morgan
made his little fling, the Massachusetts,
senator pouted, grew red in the face,
and looked as though he would like
to choke the Alabama senatorto death.
What aggravated Mr.. Hoar all the
more was the fact that as the senators
looked up in surprise at Mr.. Morgan'sl
temerity, Mr. Evarts, who happened,
to be passing Mr.. Hoars desk, smiled
at his ancient college in the most tri-
umphsnt way.

BULLDOZER,

A gentleman at Baton Rouge, La,
writes to the Courier Journal as fol-
lows:
In answer to questions, you say
nthe term bulldoze had its origin in
Texas" etc. Now, in this you were
IN error. The word bulldoze had it's
origin and was first put in print in the
parish Of East Feliciana, La; the
word was first used by German
named Louis Wagner, Of Clinton, La.
He was an educated man, who was
shot in the head during the war, and
thus had his mind injured. When he
saw the regulators riding around he
used the word hull-doze to initiate the
sound made by the explosion of the
guns. This is authentic, and can be
verified By many living citizens Of
Clinton and Jackson, East Feliciana,
La.

JocKo's LITTLE MIRROR.
He Uses it on a CockatOo and Has Revenge
for an Old Grudge.

Visitors to the Geological Garden
have taken special notice of a pretty
little African monkey with a tremen-
tie shrivelled-up pink face. He is very
bright and amusing, with no bad or
vicious traits. If you will notice close
ly you will see the tip of his tail has
been nearly stripped of hair.
The handsome white cockatoo, with
the fiery eyes and sulphurous yellow
crest, did that. His big cage had been
on top of the monkeys one day, and
the little monkey had swung his tail up
until it rested against the bars of the
bird cage. The cockatoo grabbed it
and pulled it in with his sharp beak.
Then there was a chattering and
screaming, yells, croakings, and di-
minutive inferno for about a minute
before the monkey got his tail loose by
the heroic method of pulling it loose.
Then the cackatoo spit out mouth
full of hair and said: ''Yah-h-u-g-gh. ;"
To this contemptuous remark the little
monkey said nothing, but sucked the
lacerated end of his tail.
Some one had presented him with
piece of mirror. 1t was the apple of
his eye and the prize of his collection.
His little storehouse contained couple
OF chestnuts, some spare peanuts, two
or three bright pebbles, and the mir
ror. This little strip, hardly two
inches square, he would hold and ad-
mire by the hour. He never tired of
trying to solve the mystery of that
other monkey which he saw in the
glass. Not being quarrelsome, he
never tried to fight the strange
monkey, but was always trying to coax
him out to play. 1t wouldn't work
One day the sun shone down through
the glass skylight and struck the mir
ror. 1t cast a bright, burning beam
right into the monkeys eye and nearly
blinded him. Here was another i'm
mense problem to wrestle with. After
few minutes he found that by turn
ing the looking glass in different di-
rection he could make the bright rays
dance over the walls and into the other
cages. Ha! that was funny. The cocka-
too had been moved across the aisle
and one of the rays struck him in the
eye. He blinked and ruffied his feath-
ers. The monkey saw it, and said as
plainly as possible.
wonder of old Cockey doesn't like
He got the focus again and the cock
atoo ducked and squawked.
aha! l have you now, old Cockey.
I'll teach you to pull the hair off my
tail!'
Again he focused the bird and the
bird jumped. Up, down, sideways,
and across he pursued the bird with
that binding ray, while the latter
screamed and beat his wings and rat
tied the cage in a whirlwind of rage.
But it was useless. The ray and
monkey were inexorable, and not until
a cloud obscured the sun did the mon
key cease in persecutions.-W Washing

Roast Pig 1900 Years Old.

The citizens of aucient Pompeii knew
what was good. They relished roast
pig. A family in that aristocratic city,
one of the F. F. P.'s perhaps, were
about to dine on the rich and succulent
dish the very day that the restless Titan
under Mount Vesuvius expectorated
from his fiery lungs the shower of red
hot ashes which intombed the Pompeii-
ans in their dwellings. The pig was
being cooked, and was probably nearly
done at the time when the volcanic
storm burst in and spoiled it.
This is not matter of conjecture, for
mass of indurated lava and ashes has
been found in a stewpan standing on a
cooking stove in the kitchen of disin-
TERED house. and on opening the lump
perfect mold of sucking porker was
disclosed. A cast was taken of the
hollow, and the result was q facsimile
in plaster of the little animal, which
had been trussed in scientific style, and
is supposed, from the shape of the
matrix, to have been just ready for the
| table.
The inquisitive antiquarians are con-
tinually poking their noses into little
domestic secrets of the Pompeiians OF
eighteen centuries ago which the peo.
pie of the excavated neighborhOod
would have hesitated to tell to one
another.-N 7. Ledger.
