Horse With A Moustaohe.

There may be seen in Cannon Street,
at frequent intervals during the day,
a horse that would make a comfort
ableliying for its owner if placed on
exhibitionin museum. Neither horse
nor master, however, seems to be I'M
bued with desire for fame, and the
former is content apparently to serve
out his days at his allotted task OF
drawing van about the City.
He is an ordinary-sized grey horse,
with q most amiable cast of counter
ance, and with nothing remarkable
about him except the possession OF a
large and well-shaped moustache,
The later is kept carefully trimmed
and brushed by the owner OF the
horse, but the possessor OF this un.
usual appendage seems to pay but
little attention to it. He has never
been known, at least, to stroke 1t as
men do, but by watching him closely
it may be observed that he eyes II
occasionally in u critical sort OF
way.
He is six years old, and was born
in France but, so far as can be learn
ed, he is the only member OF his lam
ily who has ever been blest Will
either moustache or whiskers. On TIN
contrary, his fathers lip was wlthou
suspicion OF hair, and his mother
of course, was o. stranger to such
thing.

"Beneit of Clergy"

This story of the.late DR.. Edward
Chaplin, the Universalist minister, is
told in q New York letter to the Phil
adelphia Press: DIR Chaplin was smitten
with q mortal disease and it was pub
licly announced in the newspapers.
He had some heart trouble which did
not prevent friends from seeing him,
but it was known it would end his life
in brief time. He had been sick
for some five weeks when one day the
Rev. DR.. Armitage called. He was
shown into Chapin's room and found
the distinguished clergyman lyingupon
a sofa. When he saw Armltage he
burst into tears, and DR.. Armitagc
was surprised. Chaplin said: "Doc-
tor, can't help these tears, but they
express gladness rather than sorrow.
Do you know that you arc the first
clergyman of all those who have
professed friendship forme who called
to see me or even sent n message Of
sympathy to me in my illness. Not q
single clergyman has been so consider
ate, and | tell you it has been n bitter
sorrow to me at this time" Two
days latter this great orator wa'
dead.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1891-07-30

about their miserable way OF livingf
He had done it all for her.
Several days had passed and moth
ing was heard OF him. 1t was assum-
ed and openly asserted that he had
gone abroad.
AS time passed without any tiding5
of his arrest his hapless wife gathered
hope. Surely he was safe in some far
off land, and would send for her by
and by, so that they might toll togeth-
er and pay back what he, in his mis-
cradle infatuation, had stolen. But
he never sent for her.
About three weeks after he dlsap-
peared a battered corpse was found
in the river near Blackwell.
1t had been carried up and down by
the tides, dragged along by passing
ships, beaten by heavy barges. Only
a few vestiges OF clothing remained,
and these were assumed to be some
OF the rags OF a tramp's attire.
Such discoveries arenot uncommon,
and very little fuss was made over 1T.
Meanwhile, Bolter and Co. and
Crutch thrive apace. They live in big
houses and fare sumptuously every
day. Let us all hope that the bread
of their dishonest labors may one day
choke them. The gallows on which
Hannah swung would not be hall high
enough tor these leeches OF society.

A Wonderful Sense Of Smell.

The buzzard's wonderful sense Of
smell is o curious subject that has
been often discussed, the discussion
having resulted in n general uniform
ity of opinion among scientists that
they locate their food by their sense
OF smell alone. c. l.. Hopkins the
noted biologist, says that he noticed
that in Florida they never leave the
roots where the night is spent, especl-
ally on damp ioggy morn ines, until
the moisture has been dried by the
sun. They then move slowly across
the wind until n "scent" is struck,
when they move more slowly up
the wind" until the carrion is located
Sometimes they will drift down the
wind past their prey, until they have
struck the scent, which they follow NJ
until they have found the object o
their search, sometimes in the densesi
thickets. Mr.. Hopkins says that h,
has upon several occasions killed
wild hogs in the thickets, and, aftel
dressing them and taking what meal
he wished, would see twenty or NOR
buzzards coming down with the wind
On one occasion they had discovered
some animal remains he had covered
up, and on another had found deaf
snake which he had buried.
