A TELEGRAPHER AS KING.
Mademba L. of Segon Promoted to the
Throne from the Key.

Madenba L. of Segon Promoted to the
Throne from the Key.
A sudden favorable turn of fortune
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in
dividual from his habitual occupations.
This more or less wise saw is applica-
BILE to the case of the present king of
Segon, who was put on the throne of
his black kingdom by Col. Archinard,
when his royal predecessor, AhmaAou,
took to fight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is a
native of the country over which he at
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of telegraphs at Senegal Be
fore accepting his regal state, he made
it condition that his name should con-
tinue to be inscribed on the list of tele-
graph servitors, and that his situation
as king should be considered as sub
servient to that of his original employ
.ment
Nademba must have learnt, either
by intuition or from acute observation,
that the lot of monarch is less certain,
in these days, than the position of an
officer in the service of the ''postes ct
OclcBIdPuCSs aHO 30 prc1CTEeO 10 keep
in reserve what might one day prove to
be a happy issue out of all his aff1ic-
tons
He has, no doubt, constantly one eye
on his throne and the other one of
memory on the Office of his former tel
egraphic exploits Should the future
bring about for Mademba that change
which is in the modern order of things,
he may return to the tietic of his
former days with the right to add to
his title of preference that of ''ex-king
of Segon."
Politeness in telegraphic offices, al
though once seriously complained of by
NJ. Guy de Maupassant, is generally
the rule, even with the ordinary en-
ployes; but should Mademba l.. of
Segon ever return to his Senegalian
bureau, his clients may expect to be
treated in right royal fashion by a man
who never lost sight Of business, even
when promoted to the honors Of an
African throne.-Galignan Messenger

An Instructive Fable.

The cat one day saw a sparrow peck
ing at a crust So busy was the bird
that it did not notice the close approach
of the cat, and the cat, to enjoy in an
ticipation little of the dainty it conf
IDENTIFY expected to masticate, sat down
and began TO soliloquize upon
the uncertainty of things ter
restial ''Now," thought the cat,
''there is that foolish bird so busy
Stating that dirty old crust about that
it does not heed its surroundings, but
makes every noble thought subserViezt
to filling its crop, but its greed has cost
it its life. / think after have eaten it
I will take some of its tail feathers to
Tabby TOrtoiseshell, for the kittens to
play with" So pleased was the cat
with its own thoughts that it dreamily
closed its eyes for moment, that it
might better anticipate the pleasure OF
the kittens at the present Of tail feath-
ers- A slight rustic startled it, and it
opened its eyes only TO behold strange

picking some feathers out of its teeth
