The Goat and the Greenback,

From the Baltimore suu.I
The goat has long been proverbiai
Tor its iDdiscFIninate taste III the
matter of fare There Is nothing
which it cannot eat, and it can digest
anything from a popuiist platform
to Amerlcan-made tin IT. was this
Democratic and ting
taste, probably, which caused a gen
tlemen goat belonging to MIR. Peter
Neary, of Newark, n j., to sample
the other day a ten-doilar bill which
one of Mr.. Neary's children was
holding carelessly in his hand. The
greenish color OF the note may have
suggested cabbage leaf to him or
some other pleasing vegetable, but
without stopping to inquire what it
was William snatched it and swal-
lowed it. reasoning, after the fashion
OF goats, that it was better to secure
his dinner first and find out what it
was atterward. The note was a
a silver certificate calling for the
payment of ten silver dollars on
presentation at the United States
treasury, and tits presumed that the
discovery of this fact SO Disguised
the goat, which was evidently an
animal of sound financial princi Lies,
that he refused to make it "a part OF
his circulating medium, for when Mr.
Neary killed him several hours after
ward the bill was found in his
stomach mutilated, but undigested,
and still sufficiently in evidence to
secure a new one from Washington
in exchange for it. This incident
would seem to Indicate that the
products OF the silver legislation Of
recent years are too tough even for
a goat to stomach. At all events,
Mr.. Neary's goat, like Senator Sher
man and other human financiers who
have undertaken to feed the national
system on deceptive silver dollars,
has had occasion to discover his mis-.
take and to regret his attempt to
sustain his stomach with such weak
and insufficient nutriment.

DAVIS MILITARY SCHOOL.
Lieut.. Shipp Reports for Duty-Hs
Succeeds Lieut.. Hall.

1t is noticeable in all Colleges that
a great many more students study
French and German than Greek.
While the best instruction is given in
Greek at Davis Military School, yet
the number who study Greek is small
compared with the number who study
the other languages. The study Of
Greek seems TO be on the decline, but
just as many study Latin as formerly.
The cadets are already talking
about Christmas. The college gives
only one holiday. A great many OF
the cadets are from distant parts Of
the country, and they do not go home
to spend Christmas. A good many
who live close by do not go home be
cause they do not wish to lose time
from their studies.
First Lieut.. w. e. Shipp, 10th
Calvary, United States Army, was re-
Gently detailed by the Secretary Of
War as Professor of Military Science
at Davis Military School. Lieutenant
Shipp reported yesterday, and is now
on duty at the college. He succeeds
Lieut.. L. w. Hall who left last night
for New York to accept position on
a humorous paper.
Instruction in vocal music is given
free of charge to all cadets, hence the
soldier boys have the opportunity to
Learn to sing by note.
Dr. Davis recently returned
from brief trip to the Eastern part
of the State.

LUDICROUs SCENE IN THE PULPIT.
a Divine Sees HIS Satanic Majesty
and Takes Back All He SatG.

A South German paper relates the
following:
In a Bavarian town of the most
pronounced Catholic orthodoxy the
priest preached lately against the
Old Catholics, and related such hor-
rible things about them that his
pious hearers were literally horror
stricken at Old Catholic impieties
At last the preacher cried out, ''rhe
Old Catholics are So vile that they
will all be cast into the pit, and it
what [ say is not true, may the devil
take me now on the spot~ His ex-
element was terrible, and he so
struck the cushion that the book fell
from it. Not far from the pulpit
there sat an American, who had
negro servant with him, to whom he
beckoDed to take book up to the
priest, who, perhaps, had never seen
one OF those sons OF Ham in his lite
The negro at once obeyed, and as he
mounted the lowest OF the pull it
steps the clergyman repeated his
Wish, that the devil might come and
take him if what he said against the
Old Catholics was not true.
Although the negro went softly,
the preacher heard his footsteps,
and, turning round, saw a black
object soIemnly, steadily, and surely
approaching him. He looked at him
with terror, and believing that he
would be the next instant collared
by his Satanic Majesty, he cried out,
with trembling voice, ''Itis, after all,
possible that there may be good
people among the Old Catholics"
Turning then aroud to see if The
object had disappeared, he saw it
still steadily approaching. The
perspiration burst out upon his
brow, and full OF despair he called
out, There are even many good
people among the Old Cathoiics -
Thinking that this would suffice, he
turned round, but what was his
horror to find the object was close
al hand. Imagining himself in the
very grasp OF Beelzehub, turning
partly Co the negro and partly to
congregation, he cried out, MAY the
devil come and take me il all the Old
Catholics are not better than We
aFe!' The terrified priest tainted
from the fright, and it vas only after
some time that he recovered.

Virginia Coal Men squeal.

The operators of the coal fields OF
Virginia and West Virginia, includ-
ing representatives of 3S separate
mines in the Pocahontas coal region
whose output is principally con-
trolled by the Pocahontas Coal Com
pany, met in their semi annual con-
ference at Roanoke this week
Upwards of fifty representatives
we're present, including prominent
Norfolk & Western officials. After a
banquet rendered by Messrs. Cashier

strongly protesting against the
placing of coal upon the free list,
declaring that it would be ruinous
to the Interests of the mine-owners
and operators and petitioning the
representatives in Congress and in
the State Legislature to do all in
their power to defeat this provision
of the Wilson bill.

$4,000.

The rose gives life germs from above,
So let thy spirit mine enfold
And keep it e'er instinct with love.
