Mr. Parnell Is known to q good

which he has never figured on the
northern side OF the equator-thRt OF

years a play entitled Shamrock

Esq, Mp" has enjoyed prodigious
favor amongst provincial audiences
In the colonies. The lucky exclusive
proprietor Of this piece boasts Of hav-
Ing already netted rs, 900 by it
Whether 'r>sNut events will add to or
diminish It's popularity remains to be
Seen. Its proprietor-an Irishman, by
the way-has never ventured TO pro-
6uce 1t In Melbourne or Sydney.
doubtless from q shrewd suspicion
that the dramatic critics of those
capitals would want to know some
thing more about its history and ante
sedents than the stild announcement
on the play-bills that ''Mr. Parnell
wrote this play when young man at
college" Provincial press men are
not so unpleasantly skeptical, and the
Irish men and women Of the interior
towns consider it a patriotic duty to
roll up in their hundreds to see "Mr.
ParneIl's play"

A noble OF high standing in St

Using the merest nonsense he could
get monev sent to him from all partsl

vertisement in the papers that for the
sum of one ruble he would forward
the sender a powder which, if put in

by the thousand. He won the bet,
but he had to pay an equivalent in
returning the ruble to the senders,

A Wonderful Clock.

Another marvellous piece of mech"
anism has recently been exhibited in
Paris 1t is an eight day clock, and
chimes the quarters, plays sixteen
tunes, playing three tunes every hour,
or at any interval required, by sim
PLY touching spring. The hands go
as follows: One once minute, one
once an hour, one once week, one
once a month, and one once year.
It shows the moons age, rising and
setting of the sun, the time Of high or
low tide, besides showing half ebb
and half food. A curious device rep
resents the water. showing ships at
high water tide as if they were in mo-
ton, and as it recedes leaves them
high and dry on the sands The
clock shows the hour of the day, the
day of the week, the day OF the
month, and the month Of the year.
The mechanism is so arranged that
it makes its own provisions for long
and short months. 1t also shows the
signs of the zodiac, equation, and the
difference between sun and railroad
time for every day in the year.

A COW THAT GIVES BLACK MILK

Singular Habit Of an Othsrwiss Well pls-

Rupert Hansborough, Of Chillicothe

Ayrshire. she was calved on the farm
and was the second born to her moth
er, whose milk presented TO peculiar

still gives an abundance OF natural
tinted milk.
Mollie, as she is called, is a pretty
little COW, with nothing unusual in
her appearance, and has borne al
ready five young, which have thriven
we'll on her black milk. 1t produces
a fair amount of cream, which is
trihe lighter in color, and which when
churned makes butter resembling
coal-tar, and as palatable as though
of golden yellow. Mr.. Hansborough
says that at first they were afraid to
drink or use the milk in any way. but,
overcoming their prejudice, now en-
joy it as any other.
He has received numbers of offers
for her, both from the proprietors of
museums and stockmen, but declined
them from hopes that she will yet
transmit her popularity to some OF
her progeny. Chemists in Richmond
spd Washington have analyzed her
milk, both fresh and when made into
butter, but declare that they can de-
tect nothing to account for its sable
color but attribute it to some unique
coloring pigment in the corpuscles OF
her blood.

Ere life's morning changed to noon.
He is spared the many sorrows

All the suffering and the trials
That would meet him every day.
Far too bright for esrth's dark prison;
God hath taken him away,
And TO heaven he now invites you,
There to rest in endless day.

Think he doth all things well,
Then shall comfort, pure aud holy,
In thy stricken bosom dwell.
