A caucus of Democratic Senators was held
Yesterday at Albany and it is understood that a
decision was reached to turn Mr.. Donaldson and
Mr. Derby out of their seats without any more
mother. II seems that criticism, some of it from
Democratic sources is having an effect upon the
majority, who are afraid to wait longer before
doing this gross injustice, lest some OF their
number should refuse to aid and abet the scheme.
So in defiance of law and without any justiiica-
ton in the evidence, these two honestly elected
Republicans are to be unseated The Democrats
have the power and will use it without scruple,
acting, of course, under orders they dare not
disobey.

A Live Package in the Dead Letter Once.
Is it to be expected that an ordinary
clerk, without special remuneration,
shall expose himself to the dangers Incl
dent to the opening of the m~ultitudinOus
and mysterious packages that are left as
metaphorical foundlings upon the fgura-
tive doorstep of the postmaster general?
Lest these perils be deemed imaginary, it
may be appropriate to refer to seventeen
snakes that arrived together on n Oc-
casion in a parcel of the sort described,
although they were all very much alive,
especially a RATHER, eight feet in length
and one Of the biggest ever captured,
that ratified its nine rattles and showed
its fangs to the unaffected disrnay of the
young gentleman who undid the bundle.
SO great was his embarrassment that
he failed at the moment to keep accu-
rate count of the reptilian consignment,
and three weeks later the entire office
was set in a stir by the unexpected APP
pearance from beneath his desk of a
three foot adder speckled in yellow and
black. Owing to the fact that adders of
other than the arithmetical variety are
discouraged in government Offices, this
particular serpent is now enjoying a
perennial spree in a bottle of alcohol on
a shelf in the postOfice department.

Remarkable Story of a S~towaway.

cI hdUhO StoEy q d
The London Lancet records a remark
able case, which illustrates what human
beings are driven to do when suffering
the agonies Of starvation. The body of
an Arab was found in the hold Of a ship.
and was conveyed to the Seamen's hos
pital, Greenwich, where a post mortem
examination was made by order of the
coroner. The body was much emaciated,
and the following extraordinary list of
materials was found in the intestines:
Twenty trousers buttons, three cog
wheels apparently out of a watch, one
Pinch steel screw bent double, one 1-inch
screw, six pieces of a lock, the biggest
being /! inches long and one-half inch
broad; a circular piece of brass, several
pieces of iron wire, brass, lead, and
two key tallies on a ring n inch in
length.
The weight of the articles amounted
to almost half a pound. The unfortunate
mar had evidently secreted himself in
the vessel, and had remained undiscov-
cred by the crew during the whole of the
voyage from some distant port, and had
swallowed these articles to relieve the
pangs of hunger.

Origin of an Old Fad,

A practice was common about fifty
years ago of rubbing the eye in a peculiar
way from the outer to the inner corner,
the result being, as vas supposed, to
strengthen the sight. The practice orig
mated with President John Quincy
Adams, who had what is called "a
weeping eye" disease having caused the
closing of some of the ducts, so that he
was forced to wipe away the OVERLOOKING
moisture about once in every five min
utes. He always wiped his eye from the
outer to the inner corner, and some one
noticing this peculiar action, and know
ing also that, although he had passed his
eightieth year, he never used spectacles,
connected the two facts and started the
theory that rubbing the eye in the way
indicated prevented the changes insep-
arabic from advancing years. For a time
all the old people in the country spent
half their time rubbing their eyes, but
the fad soon died out, and is now scarce
ly remembered, save by some old man
who saw people practicing it when he
was a boy. - Interview in st. Louis

The Piscina of an English Church.

Often in the furthermcst end of an
aisle or transcept, recessed into the wall,
or but slightly standing out of it, brack-
ct fashion, may be seen the small piscina
that was used in old times when there
was al altar there. Besides these, only
much more rarely, a piscina upon the
ground may be seen. This is a small
hole upon the floor at the east end Of the
church, south of the altar. If there were
no piscina into which to pour the water
in which the chalice was rinsed, we
might assume this was intended to carry
1t away, but in three out of four ex-
amples known there are piscina on the
walls as we'll.

How the Parrot Was Reformed.

The w~ickedness a canal parrot is ig-
norant of is not worth learning. Not
many canal parrots reform; but one did.
His cage hung in front of a canal store;
and as a consequence the bird could
swear in a manner to make an ordinary
parrots feathers stand up with horror.
And as swearing is-or used to be-the
chief part Of a canal drivers language,
nobody could tell whether the parrot or
a driver was talking.
One day a boat stopped at the store
and the entire crew, including the driver,
went into the building and staid a long
time. This was the parrots opportunity.
The tired horses were left unattended;
SO he proceeded to attend to them.
"Backl" he commanded, with much
swearing.
The horses promptly obeyed the fa-
miliar order.
"Backl" he screamed again. much en-
couraged.
They obeyed again, and yet again. And
he kept on swearing and yelling ''Back!'
until at last the horses tumbled into the
canal and were drowned.
The parrot laughed a little, but not
much, over the success of his efforts.
And it was noticed that he neve swore
after hat melancholy affair.

CAN TALK WITH THE MONKEYS.
A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed
to Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.

A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed
to Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.
A mysterious individual haunts Wood
wards gardens to whom is attributed
the gift of conversing with monkeys in
their own language. He is a little old
man who has seen about three score
gears and ten, but as he is always alone
and speaks to no one very little is known
about him. For nearly a year past the
old gentleman has daily visited that
former popular resort, deposited the en-
trance fee, and as quickly a his feeble
strength will allow and with eagerness
depicted on his scanned and weather
beaten c~ountenance proceeds at once to
the monkey cage.
The monkeys recognize him and set
up a chattering and bowling that would
CRATE on a sensitive persons nerves, but
the old man does not mind it a bit. He
enjoys it, and beams on the quadrumana
that make every effort to reach him
through the iron bars with an expression
that would lead one to think that his
soul was wrapped up in them.
Finally, the noise subsidies and the old
man gaZes into a dozen comical expect
ant faces pressed against the bars, with
twenty-four pairs of bright eyes looking
at him, and utters a few cultural sounds
that astonish and please the monkeys.
He perfectly initiates the sounds of most
Of them, and all arrange themselves in a
semicircle and with great seriousness
listen to all he has to say. Sometimes
his tone is serious, when all the monkeys
put on a very abject expression and look
as sOrrowful as a monkey can.
Then again, when the tones are differ
ent, the monkeys will dance about with
every evidence of delight, and all begin
to jabber at once, until the old man
points his finger at n Of the largest.
All remain silent while he seemingly
carries on a conversation with one of the
older ones, initiating all the grinaces
and actions of a monkey as well as any
human being could.
Sometimes the conversation lasts an
hour or more, when the little man bids
his friends adieu until the morrow.
1t is said by some that the little man
was once a sea captain, whose crew was
murdered by the natives on the coast Of
Brazil, and he made his escape to the
forests of the interior with no cOm-
p~anions but the monkeys for many
months, and subsisted entirely on the
wild fruits and other food berries that he
could gather. 1t is supposed that he OBJ
tanned some knowledge of their method
of communication during the months of
his enforced residence in the wilderness
that enables him to engage the attention
of the monkeys at Woodward's Gardens.
When accosted the old man Will not
reply, and his mysterious behavior is a
source of much cOmment.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Pecullar kSeceSSeS IN EnSl1Sn ChuFcneS.
There is an item that is rarely met
with that would be, probably, a puzzle
to most persons who looked at it with
out a key of explanation as to its use.
This is a tall. long, narrow recess in the
wall, low down toward the ground, near
the altar. 1t is supposed to be intended
for the reception of a professional staff,
too long to be placed with other treas
ures in the aumbrey or elsewhere. An
other square recess has been observed, in
a few instances, near the ground, to the
east of the ~piscina, the use Of which has
not been handed down.
There are at least three churches, too,
that have a peculiar niche or recess, par
taking somewhat of the character Of
two piscine, one above the other, the
meaning of which has also passed out Of
knowledge. These churches are at
Southwick, in Sussex, and Burston and
