awe lose interest in nearly all the
animals" said the keeper to a New
York Tribune man, ''aftcr we have
had them awhile, except in the
monkeys The oldest keeper in the
show will stop now and then to laugn
at their antics They're always in
venting new tricks to play on one
another. Their intelligence is Won
derful and they show traces OF con-
science now and then. That big ape
by himself over there came to MIR.
Barnum wltha story which have no
doubt is true. He was trained when
we got him to do certain tricks by a
wandering peddler who owned him in
the east, This ape is an expert thief
and one day he was going through his
antics in bazar where fruit mer'
chant had a bag Of dates open on the
ground. The ape wanted some OF
those dates He was too sly to look
at them, but in his tumblings worked
over toward them. Pretty soon ne
got into a position where the bag was
between HIM and the merchant. who
was sQuatting cross-legged on mat
upon the ground. With leap the
ape cleared The bag and came down
between it and the merchant, close
to the latter's face. Then he began
to NOW and mouth and scream at the
man, showing his formidable teeth,
staring him out of countenance, and
making as if to attack him. The
merchant was so astoniShed that he
did not notice the ape helping him
self to dates with his hind hands;
APPS are not four-footed, you know,
they are quadrumana, fOur-handed.
Having taken all he could hold, the
ape quickly turned his back on the
merchant, stuffed the dates into his
mouth, and was off in jiffy. The
crowd saw the theft and enjoyed it,
and when they told the merchant he
was so struck with the brute's clever
ness that he showed no resentment.
The ape, however, had got only a
yard or so away in the crowd when
boy, out of pure mischief. struck him
with a whip from behind. The ape
turned about like a fash, dashed be-
tween the very legs of the boy who
had struck him, passed two or three
others without looking at them, and
flew at the unoffending merchant,
biting him two or three times be-
fore he could be restrained, The old
thief had conscience enough to know
that he had done wrong, and as soon
as he felt the blow he took it for
granted that the man he had robbed
was beginning to give him the drub-
bing he knew he deserved. Some of
our monkeys are very fond Of being
petted and admired and others are
not" continued the keeper. THAT
little one over there is as vain as any
woman, and a curious thing in con-
nection with her is that her vanity
makes her a poor mother The last
litter she had we took away from her:
q former one she killed by neglect,
after she had hurt two or three of
them badly by holding them out to
visitors to be strOked and petted also,
and, in so doing, pressed them too
hard against the bars Of her cage.
She thought her babies more lovely
than all the rest, probably, and she
wanted them to get some Of the ad-
miration and attention which she en-.
joyed herself"

Death Of a Woman Who Took part
in Walkers Raid on Nicaragua.
Mrs. Harriet Luckett Brady, a fe-
male survivor OF Walkers flibluster-
ing expedition to Nicaragua, died
recently, says New Orleans cores
.pondent In the Baltimore American.
She was born in New Orleans sixty
one years ago, and married Col.
Philip r. Thompson, at one time OF
the regular army, whom she accom-
panied to Nicaragua, he being then
acknowledgement on Walkers staff.
With him his wife participated in the
series Of battles fought by the Ameri-
cans, and witnessed the resulting
overthrow OF the Nicaraguan govern
ment. When Gen. Walker reorganized
the administration, becoming com
mander-in-chief of the army. her hus-
band became one Of his most trusted
counselors, and she herself was asso-
clated with him as adviser During
the war which followed between
Nicaragua and the republic OF Costa
Rica Mrs. Thompson was exposed to
every possible danger. Her husb and oc-
cupled a camp on the River Sarapa-
qui, which was surprised by the enemy
and the colonel was taken prisoner.
Confined in the prison OF town near
by, where he was joined by his faithful
wife, and with her aid effected his es-
cape. During the seige Of the Rivas
Mrs. Thompson endured the extrem-
ity Of hardships. She was present at
many OF the assaults, and encouraged
the troops to renewed exertions by
the calm intrepidity which she dis
played under fire. When cholera des-
olated the beleaguered city she nursed
the sick in the hospitals and exerted
herself in every way to keep up the
spirits Of the garrison. Her exertions
We're so Important that Walker, in
the volume in which he relates the
story OF the days, takes occasion
to praise them. just prior to the
last attack many OF the women in
Rivas were allowed by the enemy TO
leave the devoted town, but Mrs
Thompson remained with her friends
When Walker at last was driven to
surrender, in April, 1857, she and her
husband accompanied him to the st.
Mary and on that vessel returned
with him to the United States. She
lost her husband, Col Thompson,
soon after returning to New Orleans.
Mrs. Thompson afterward married
Maj. Andrew Brady, also a survivor
OF the filibustering expedition. Maj.
Brady entered the confederacy, and
was desperately wounded at Chancel-
louisville. His dauntless wife imme-
diately went to the front and nursed
him back to health. Since the last
war she has resided in New Orleans,
where her home was one OF the love-
lest and most hospitable. Mai.
Brady died in 1883.

DRAMATIC TASTE IN TEXAS
The Audience Of Twelve Shot out
the Lamps.

The Audience Of Twelve Shot out
the Lamps.
g The smallest and most unapprec-
iative audience ever saw" said
Tagliapietra, the baritone, twas in
Marshall, Tex; fourteen or fifteen
years ago. 1t consisted solely OF
twelve cowboys, and they stayed in
the house just two minutes At the
end Of that time they showed their
want Of approval by shooting out
the footlights and leaving the hall.
The stage was rude platform at one
end, raised on horses so that one
could see clear under it. Not more
than four or FIVE people could 60 on
at once, but we had to have the $500,
and decided to give the show. Iasked
Major Cumming, the manager, if he
had any scenery, and he replied with
great dignity that he most certainly
had. When we came around at night
/ was dunfounded by discovering
that the scenery consisted of common
sheets tackled up at therear and sides
Of the stage. There was no curtain,
and a dozen kerosene oil lamps served
as footlights. There was no use kick
ing, SO we got ready to produce La
Favorita' under these conditions.
{ There was not q soulint housewhen
we commenced, but we were told the
audience was across the street getting
a drink, and would come over after
we got to work. In a few minutes they
came twelve tall, lank looking cow

spurs, pistols in their belts and a Ian

gravely picked up their lanterns and
courteously invited us all over to
take a drink. They stalked out as
grayely and silently as they came in.

RESURGAM.

@<I shall arse!" For centuries
Upon the gray old churchyard stone
These words have stood; no more is said;
The glorious promise stands alone,
Untouched, while years and seasons roll
Around it. March winds come and go,
The winters sweep from pole to pole,
And summer sunsets burn and glow.
81 shall arise!" Oh, clarion call!
Time moving onward to the end
Brings us to life that cannot die,
The life where faith and knowledge BIZ end
Each after each the cycles roll
In silence and about us here
The shadow the great white throne
Fall, broader, deeper year by year.

-rHE MELANCHOLY DAYS .

The editors brow Is wrapped in gloom:
His ieaden eye is full Of pain.
And dark forbidding thoughts of doom
Are preying on his tortured brain.
And drear and woebegone his mein;
His locks that once were like the night
MAY actually now be seen
Their color changing into white
His shears are deep into the ink,
Deep in the musclage his pen;
This man Of thought will never think
A sane and lucid thought again.
Poor wretch the verses now pour in;
A score days not halfthe sum;
And all invariably begin,
The melancholy days have come.

IVORY AND GOLD STATUES.

Chryselephantine Sculpture Re-
vived by Berlin Carver Of Fig
ures.
ct may be OF interest to some to
hear that a fresh attempt has been
made to revive the Greek art OF gold
and ivory sculpture. An experiment
has been made by a well-known Berlin
sculptor to work out the hints OF
ancient writer's on head, which, if
not entirely satisfactory in its whole
effect, is at least interesting He
starts by recognizing that this tech
nique is applicable only to RELIGIOUS or
ideal art, and the head he has created
aims at being the latter.
Unfortunately, it strikes one as
such only in the sense that it is not
q direct portrait, but whether or not
portraiture is a fitting subject for
such materials, or whether there is at
present any other sphere more suit
able is doubtful. AS to the technique,
the whole flesh is OF ivory cut into
thin plates, with the grain, not
against it, OF these plates there are
thirty-four covering the whole flesh
surface. They are eight millimetres
thick. except in the case OF the nose,
which is one solid piece, as otherwise
the nostrils would be unmanageable,
the same being the case with the ears.
''The most important point, how
ever, is the method by which the
plates are fastened to each other and
to a wooden block, which is solid, and
carved to correspond exactly with the
inner surface OF the ivory. Small
steel pins join each plate, the ivory
being bored to receive them. This
method OF clamping is also used to Sc.
cure the plates to the wood. Glue, he
thinks, would not be strong or deli
cate enough for such work; while at
the same time by the former method
there is less wood.
'.The whole bust is of wood, the hair
and drapery being OVERLAND with thick
gold leaf, which certainly gives a fine
effect, especially az regards tie hair.
The eyes are OF onyx, the pupils being
painted. The eyelashes are painted
as well as the eyebrows, and a little
hair by the ear.
1.-THE effect OF the last is very bad,
as is also that OF thehard line between
the gold hair and the flesh, perhaps
unavoidably due to the difficulty Of
joining the two different materials.
Thelips are tinted but not the cheeks.
"The main difference, on the whole,
between this technique and that ira.
ditionally ascribed to the Greeks lies
in the following facts: The ground
work is solid wood, instead Of wood
overlaid with clay; the means OF fast.
ening is by clamps; and the gold is fa1
thinner. How much Of the merit and
| demerit is due to the artist, and how
much to the material and the Difficult.
ty OF pure technique, is hard to say.
NThe first impression is one OF great
| pleasure, which, however seems likely
to wear off, At least the interest o.
the experiment. is undeniable, and the
comparatively great success of the
sculptor, from an artistic point o,
view, encouraging. | might add that
the bust has been bought by the En-
peror, and has attracted the interest

letter from Idsi,o City 70 the Salt

Contractor Morrell, who took the
job of sinking new shaft, encounter

His contract was taken At ridicuiouly
low figure, and it is said that be was
actuated BY enterprise and local
pride in offering to do the work SO
cbeaplT. For 20 feet the rock in the
shaft was hard and work heavy. Be
sides losing on that part Of the job, it
is claimed that subscriptions have not
come in as promised o. anticipated to
pay the contractor. But Morrell has
continued operations as best be could
The correspondent is evidently mis-
informed as to the business Of the
Boise County Mining company, Or I'M
tentionally throws cold water on laud-
aole enterprises put on foot by our
cItizens. The depth Of the shaft Is
ascertained every Saturday evening
by the Trustees Of the company, and
the amount as stipulated in the con-
tract promptly turned over to con-
tractor Morrell. Instead of the sub
scriptions not being forthcoming, they
:
were paid up TO the dollar when called
for, and we have heard large num-
Der of the owners say that if the $4,000
paid in fails to complete the work they
will double their subscriptions. Such
statements as the above do not look
well on the outside, and we take the
liberty Of suggesting to correspond

GExEnAn nossnrs TALKS.

In an interview with an evening
Mail reporter, at Boise City, few
days ago, Attorney General Roberto
said that he will take the stand that
Governor Willey's proclamation does
on the apportionment matter in the
State Board of Canyassers. III he
does some candidates for Legislative
honors may be defeated because of
the actions of their own parties.
Roberts says that the fact Of the act
of the last Legislature creating the
counties of Alta and Lincoln being
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court does not affect the le-
gality of the apporticnment law as
relating to other counties.
The proclamation gives to Alturas
and Logan the representation ac-
credited to Alta and Lincoln because
they remain now as they did before
the passage of the act. We believe
that Governor Wiley and General
Roberts are right, although that opin-
ion is at variance with the judgment
of many lawyers Of recognized abili-
ty. There is nothing in the appor-
tionment act that conflicts in any
way with the State Constitution, Oh
that is not fully authorized by it
with the exception of the apportion-
ment for Alta and Lincoln, which
| naturally goes to Alturas and Logan
