AC' 49,
for food and drink. He seems tc
have no understanding except the
instinct of the beast.
The father, mother, and the rest
of the family are immigrants OF
ordinary intelligence, as Hungarian
immigrants generally run, and ali
of the children except this strange
creature are brigh; and rather pref
ty. Col. Weber expects that he
will be besiegcd by dime museuni
proprietors who will want the freak
Of which he now has custody, but
he saws that they will be disap-
pointed in their desire to secure
him.
Novel Remedy for Hackbitin
Philadelphia Record.
1t is not new phase in the Prince
Of Wales career that he should sur
round himself with q queer set, "
for birds Of feather will flock to-
gether; but the set of which His
Royal Highness has lately been the
bright particular star at IIon5urg
would appear to be uncommonly
queer from the accounts Of it's do
ings made public in London news
papers. Thus, one Of the Homburg
correspondents, il referring to the
culture of the ladies, comments on
''the high-bred types Of English
womanhood," whose character re-
veals itself Gin every infection of the
softly modulated voice"
A low voice in woman is surely
a most excellent thing AS to the
culture otherwise, the salient
thought suggested is that it has
not been attained at the expense of
such old fashioned virtues as vigor-
ous frankness Of manner and fem
iiine detestation of SANDER which
is impulsive to the verge Of uncon-
velltionality. This is plain from
the allusion to one athletic lady Of
the set, 'conspieous for her beauti
ful figure" Whois reported to have
administered to q fair friend who
had ma]igned her personal chas-
tisement of the short, sharp and
ef1ectual kind which is more fre-
quently inflicted on small children
in the nursery"
Commenting on this exhibition Of
manners among the set, the CORES
pondent drops this bit of philosophy:
'1f backbiting were always punish
ed in this summary fashion, how
much less of it there would be!o 1t
will not be denied that the moral is
we'll pointed, nor that backs]apping
as a correction for backbiting would
be as effective as it would be rvtrib-
utive. Whether the athletic lady
employed her slipper or her bare
hand is not set forth. nor is it essen
tial to be known. It is enough to
know that the cultured bellies Of
Homburg have inaugurated a new
and heroic treatment for back biting
which is calculated to leave deep
impression on society.
Anglomaniacs on this side Of the
water have hitherto been swift to
ape the tricks and manners of the
Princes set. It will be curious to
see what action they will take on
the latest Anglican movement 10
still the wagging tongue Of slander.
The natural coyness and shrinking
timidy of the American nature may
stay their hands for @ while; but
should they ultimately fall in with
the Homburg method they might be
depended on to make it both a
spanking and bowling success.

At some Of the great Hindoo tenn
pies in India it is the custom, hand
ed down from immemorial ages, to
keep permanent staff of dancing
girls on the premises. These light
limbed damsels take a prominent
part in the reglious ceremonies, jig
ging it gayly when directed by the
priests. In return, they not only
receive handsome salaries, but are
entitled to many valuable privi-
leges, and the place is consequently
eagerly sought for by the nautch-
ing sisterhood. But they DO not
lay claim to any particular oaor OF
