1t seems extraordinary to observe a
number of the bats in the evening fly
ing back and forth through the trees
with remarkable rapidity, but without
ever coming in contact with the
branches or hurting themselves. Spal-
lanzani, the Italian naturalist. placed a
bat in a dark Enclosure, across which
were stretched a number of threads,
crossing and recrossing each other
The bat flew rapidly back and forth
trying to effect its escape, but avoided
the threads with as much ease as if they
had not been in its way in the least.
Whether this curious power was the re-
suit of sixth and unknown sense was
long puzzle to naturalists. To decide
this knotty point, Spallanzani resorted
to the cruel expedient of binding bat,
and found that it still flew among the
threads without being to all appear
ances, any more Inconvenience than if
it still had it's eyesight. illustrated

The RISE OE CLARksoN.
A Golden Opportunity for the Great
Headsman.

| Headsman.
| The mountains are laboring again,
| but it is more than a mouse this time.
! Ifreport knows what it is talking about,
it means the rise of Clarllson over
| the fallen forms of Quay and Dudley.
! The boss is dead, long live the boss.
/ Though the glories of Quay and Dudley
| shall glimmer and fade away. the gold
+ en- aureola that surrounds the brow OF
ClarksOn vii shed sufficient light for
the republican hosts. We shall still
have shrine to worship at and saint
from whose lips the pearls and rubies
shall drop as they scattered the ground
when the favorite of the fairy god
mother spoke. Long live Clarkson:
GARRISON, the cunning and ruthless;
ClarllsOn. the headsman. Though he
be no statesman. he is the most useful
man in the republican party, and the
labOrer is worthy his hire.
According to republican standards
Mr.. GARRISON is entitled to his promo
ton. If Quay and Dudlcy are to stand
aside, who is So fit as he to uphold the
traditions and practices of the repub-
| lican party? Is he not in thorough ac-
cord with them? Can he not handle
queens taste, and does not that put
him at the head of the machine?
The country should be proud of
GARRISON, together with Quay, Dudley
and the others of that school He is
peculiarly a home product. He has
risen to power by original methods.
Europe has none to compare with him
Mr.. GARRISON does not bother his brain
with such vain and empty things as
theories and principles. His domain is
that of the material and substantial.
He is the vote getter, the worker on
election day and before it. High tariff
and low tariff, protection and free
trade are nothing to him. He does not
disturb himself about free coinage of
silver or limited coinage of silver In
his business these things are useless,
but when it comes to getting the boys
in line, by means of iudiciOuS use of
the where withal, he is wheel horse.
The young men of the country should
take notice. The old avenues to dis
tinction are no longer worthy of con-
sideratiOn. New standards of states
manship have been erected. The Clays,
the WebSters, the CalhOuns, the Sew
ards and the Lincolns have had their
day. They have been pretty good fell
lows in their way, but they were not
half as useful as Quay or a GARRISON.
Tom Platt says that he loves GARRISON
for the heads that he has chopped off,
and it behOOves the youth of the land
to study in order that they may become
choppers themselves in their mature
age. Their ambition hould not fall
short Of hat biuh roarly
The democratic party is unfortunate
in having no Quays and Clarksons, but
perhaps it can get along without them.
Such greatness brings with it its bur-
dens, and there are some people who love
the old order of things, when fair play
was the rule and the boss was I'M
known. On the whole we are not sorry
that Quay, GARRISON and Dudley. belong
to the other fellows.-Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal.

OUR YOUNG READERS.
A SURPRISED BOY.

To the Boston Museum, a long time ago,
y little boy, impish as Puck
Went one day with his nurse VINO resenoieA
hen
In charge of a Maynard young duck.
For our bright little hero was just at the age
When boys think it manly and fine"
To tease and to worry nurse, without emu;
His age was, think, about nine.
The Museum was reached, and our naughty
young Dan
Was determined to have his own way,
And at last he peeped into a small private
room,
In spite of all Biddy could say.
There big headed. ugly, and cross looking
boy,
Who appeared to be just of Dams age,
Cried out: You Young rascal, get out of this
roOmn'
And stamped Oh the floor in a rage.
Now Dan was fighter At school he was
known
AS boy whom no other could beat,
So now Ire said grmly: Don't try to scare
BY stamping your great ugly feet
''Be off, cried the other, cor Ill turn you
out"'
Said Dan ''rd just like you to try!''
Then he took a step forward, and doubled
his fists
1shd AhcaSuI ca Inc DOS WIN his eS Z.
Two minutes had passed. They were no
very long.
But they still were enough for the strife.
Our hero had had, in that small space of
time,
The greatest surprise in his life:
He'd been beaten, and pounded, and pun
meled. and thrashed,
And sent with a kick through the door,
Which was instantly slammed, while he fell
on his back,
And lay in a heap on the floor.
His bumps or his bruises at all.
Nor hear BIddys scolding. His utter sur
prise
Was so great that all else appeared small.
That a boy of his age should have mastered
him thus,
Whom Older boys feared to Offend
So amazed and perpiexed him, he scarcely
felt pain,
But he understood all in the end.
For, arrived at his home. Biddy made her
complaint:
"Indade and indade, ma'am, it's so;
He entered a room, a'am, and fought with
the dwarf
The dwarf they exhibit, you know"
SO the mystery was solved: he had fought a
large dwarf,
A dwarf with the strength of a man,
Which, especially when it was used in a rage, |
OF course too much for poor Dan.
He was stiff for a week, and as could
be:
Perhaps you will say: "Serve him right"
But he heartily laughed when he told me the
tale,
Some thirty years after the fight.

liNCOLN'S EARLY ThiUMPHS.
An Important Figure in Backwoods So
Ciety.

ciety.
He won neighborhood reputation as
a clever young man, which he increased
by his performances as speaker, not
seldom drawing upon himself the dis
satisfaction of his employers by mount
ing stump in the field, and keeping
the farm hands from their work by lit
tie species in a jocOse and sometimes
also serious vein. At the rude social
froilcs of the settlement he became an
important person, telling funny stories,
mlmicking the itinerant preachers who
had happened to pass by. and making his
mark at wrestling matches, too; for at
the age of seventeen he had attained his
full height, six feet, four inches in his
stockings, If he had any. and a terribly
muscular clodhopper he was. But he
was known never to use his eXtraOrdl-
nary strength to the injury and humili
alton of others; rather to do them a
kindly turn, or to enforce justice and
fair dealing between them. All this
made him a favOrite in hacllyvoods So
clety. although in some things he APP
peared little odd to his friends. Far
more than any of them, he was given
not only to reading, but to fits of alb
straction, to quiet musing with himself,
and also to strange spells of melan-
choly, from which he often would
pass in moment to rollicking
outbursts of droll humor. But,
on the whole, he was one of
the people among whom he lived;
IN appearance perhaps even a little
more uncouth than most of them-a
very tall. rawboned youth, with large
features, dark shiveled skin, and re-
belllous hair; his arms and legs long,
out of proportions; clad in deerskin
trousers, which, from frequent exposure
to the rain, had shrunk SO as to sit
tightly on his limbs, leaving several
inches of blush shin exposed between
their lower end and the heavy, tan-col-
ored shoes; the neither garment held
usually by only one suspender that was
strung over a course, homemade Shirt
the head covered in winter with a COON
skin cap, in summer with rough straw
hat of uncertain shape, without band.
1t is doubtful whether he felt himself
much superior to his surroundings, al
though he confessed to yearning for
some knowledge of the world outside of
the circle in which he lived. This wish
was gratitied: but how? At the age of
nineteen he went down the Mississippi
to New Orleans as a fatboat hand,
temporarily joining trade many mem
bers of which at that time still took
pride in being called half horse and
and half alligator" After his return
he worked and lived in the old way
until the spring of 1880, when his father
"mOyed again" this time to Illinois.
and on the journey of fifteen days
GA be" had to drive the ox-wagon which
carried the household goods. Another
