Pets Of EnrlIsh Reglments.

tt may not be generally known that
there is a special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat.
They are very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence itwas the
custom to have a goat with a shield and
garland on its horns to march at the
head of the drums. Every 1st of March
being the anniversary of their tUtelary
saint, David, the officers used to give an
entertainment, and after the cloth was
taken away bumper was filled around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisoned for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table in procession
by the drum major.
In 1884 the then regimental goat OF
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her mai
esty presented the regiment with two Of
the finest goats from a tiock-the gift OF
the shah of Persia--in Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con
tinued to supply the Welsh Fpsiliers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used to be ram; that of the
Eighth Kings Royal Irish light dra.
goons, now hussars, horse; the Royal
Warwickshire had an antelope, the Ros
shire Bluffs q deer and the Fifteenth
lancers tiger.-Pall Mall Gazette.

There is an unfortunate relic Of sena-
torial greatness who hangs around the
Capitol during the winters. On one oc-
casion he applied to Senator Jones for
relief. "Say, Jones,' said he, lend me
fifty dollars, won't you2 I've got to go
home and haven't the money, / can't
pay you till come back in six monthsa"
"No, = said Jones promptly,"I won't
let you have fifty dollars for six months.P
The old mans jaw fell. But iii tell
you what / will do. T'lllet you have $t00
for twelve months If you'll stay away
that long" The wreck was tickled, and,
strange to relate, turned mp exactly
twelve months afterward to a. day and
paid back the hundred. Kate Fields

Powerful Indian Air Guns.

The Indians along the Mirida river
hunt with blow guns made out Of the
young stalks Of certain kind Of palm,
from which the pith is removed. The
arrows employed as projectiles are sim
ply splinters of reed, sharpened at one
end, the other end being wrapped with
enough silk cotton obtained from another
kind of palm to fill up the bore Of the
blow gun. The arrows are about ten
inches long and very light. They are
tipped with the famous and deadly
''woorari" poison. .....t ts..s avs.

Perhaps the most curious salvage case
on record is thatof the ship Two Friends,
which stranded on the coastof Cuba and
was abandoned by her crew. Another
ship, the john Blake, met a similar fate,
and her crew, in attempting To find Q
landing place, came across the Two
Friends, which they managed to get off
and to navigate to England without fur
ther mishap. The judge who tried the
case decided that salvage services had
been rendered, but Of only ordinary diff
entity and merit, inasrnuch as the crew
Of the John Blake salYed the Two
Friends in order to save their own lives.
The owners of the John Blake o. course
got nothing, but the salying crew re-
ceiyed e350 out Of the total value Of

Saturday night there was a pretty big
thunderstorm. An old negro named
Henry Wishum lives at 551 Jefferson
street. There was no one in the house
while the storm was in progress. The
building was struck by lightning and
the whole front Of the house was torn to
pieces. On the opposite side of the room
was an open fireplace filed with trash,
before which a screen had been placed.
The lightning ignited this rubbish as
nicely as a match could have done, and
without setting fire to anything else in
the room. When Wishum's wife re-
turned shortly afterward she found the
fire burning cheerfully. -- Americas

The Saratoga Excursions.

A merry party started to-day on Mr..
Peck's second Saratoga excursion by spe-
cial express train. On the return trip last
week the excursion party, before reaching
Botsford, gave Mr.. Peck hearty vote of
thanks for the delightful visit which they
had enjoyed, made possible by his efforts
1t their behalf. 1t seems impossible, but
car fare, hotel bills, entrance to park con-
certs, etc., including spring water without
limit, are provided for So. so, making with
out doubt one of the finest four-day vaca-
tions afforded to the public. The trains
are personally attended. The guests are
taken the best of care of and everybody
comes home delighted, utteriHg only words
of praise for the manager and wonderment
that it can be done 30 cheaply. The next
excursion will start ON Monday next. Fol
full particulars inquire at 7O2 Chapel

Making Havoc Among tho Trees OF
Wooster Square-Worms Killing
Norwalk Elms.
People residing about Wooster square,
this city, and many people who pass
through the square, are astonished and
dismayed to see what havoc a little half
inch long dark or black worm is making
in devouring the leaves of trees ON the
green. The little pests eat all of the leaf
except the skeleton. People desire to call
the attention of the park commissioners to
the evil in the hope that it may be rem
edied.
Down in Norwalk worms are doing
much damage to the elms. A dispatch last
night says Elm tree worms have settled
down over this city in great clouds. Thou
sands of trees have been literally stripped
of their foliage, scores are dying and many
are dead. West and East avenues, two of
Norwalk's popular and beautiful residen-
tial thoroughfares, which are closely lined
ON both sides with immense elms, have
very much the appearance of mid-winter,
the foliage having been almost entirely re-
moved. In some places the steam fire en-
gines are employed to squirt poisonous
liquid over the trees, and the plan is said
to work satisfactorily. This plan will
probably be adopted here.

Of all the summer attractions on the

one than W. S. Cleveland's minstrels. One
would think that he would be satisfied
with the extraordinary and unparalleled

his best card is yet to be named. He has
