Tho Origin of an Expression.

Mr.. McElroy tells this: a few years
ago some one defined "A Mugwump TO be
"a person who is educated beyond his
intellect" The remark was credited to
several leading New Workers. But one
day. in reading Matthew Arnold's essay
"On Translating Homer" l came across
this sentence; 1.-THE late Duke Of Well
ington said of q certain peer that it
was a great pity his education had been

prlno rnsllr Won.

A set of topers were carousing in the
Old Boar, and relieved the monotony by
cracking jokes and telling funny stories.
After an interval of rest one of their
number sprang to his feet and shouted;
"I'n give ten bottles of wine to the
man who shall most closely initiate the
voice of any animal"
The offer was accepted, and there was
a neighing, a croaling, a grunting, a
quacldng. bowling and n growing fit
to deafen the hearers. The last man
then stood in the ring, and-did nothing.
After five minutes silence he perceived
that his companions were growing i'm
patient, when he quietly remarked:
There, gentlemen, that was the voice
of fshln
General hilarity. He won the wine.

Notes About Aliigators.

There is nothing that gator likes bet
ter than fresh pork. and he viii toddle
three miles from water for n Florida
razorback. In cool weather he buries
himself in mud and becomes dormant
until it grows warm. Hunters still make
living by killing him for his hide and
teeth the killing Of alligators from the
decks Of river steamers in Florida has
been stopped by law. Tourists became
very careless in their use Of firearms. and
would endanger the lives of passengers
in their haste to get a shot before the
boat got by a plump saurian. Yet it is
remarkable that only one person, a
woman. was ever wounded in these
reckless fusillades.-NewY York sun.

WIND WINDS A CLOCK.
An Ingenious Contrivance OF an Invento
In Belgium.

An Ingenious Contrivance OF an Inventor
in Belgium.
The Garre de Nord, Brussels, has been
fitted with mechanical wonder in the
shape of n clock, which. although con-
stantly exposed to all kinds of weather,
never gets out of repair, nor does it need
to be wound by tho hand Of man. 1t is
aperpetual timekeeper of the most unique
and original design, the running weight
being kept in constant motion either
through the influence of gravitation, as
when on the descending trip, OF by tho
winds action on fan attachment which
causes the weight TO rise TO a level with
the top of the framework. The winding
attachment is not a windmill of the reg
ulation type. but is n fan placed in a
common chimney, the paddles being act
ed upon by the natural 'up cast" or
draft"
AS soon as this fan has raised the
running weight to its extreme height,
the cord to which the weight is attached
acts on a wheel which throws u brake
into gear, and the more rounds Of cord
that are added, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent tho weight
from rising any higher, the checking
tendency being transmitted to the fan
wheel with every revolution.
A simple pawl arrangement prevents
the down draft from exerting any con-
trary influence on the fan wheel. There
is not, as one might suppose on first
thought, any necessity Of having a fire
in the stove or fireplace of the chimney
to which this odd clock is attached
The natural tendency Of air is to ascend
through such vents, the draft thus Gre
ated being always sufficient for weight
winding purposes. The clock might be
placed at the top of hollow tree with a
bottom opening. or any other cylinder
from fifteen to twenty-five feet in height.
With its present attachments this
clock runs but twenty-four hours after
the winding fan stops, but by the addi-
ton Of another wheel or two, might be
made to runa month or two even though
the up draft were not sufficiently strong
to turn the winding wheel in the mean
time. The inventor is a native Of Bel
gium.-St. Louis Republic.

Prosperous Negroes.

When the war closed there were about
COO negroes owned by the Creek Indians.
When they were free the Indians at
tempted to drive them out of the terri
tory. The government wouldn't permit
it. but made them citizens of the Creek
nation and clothed them with all the
rights and privileges Of a full blood.
The Indians were compelled to accept
this state of affairs. For awhile they
badly treated their black skinned broth
ers. heaping all sorts Of indignities upon
them. which were borne with patient
fortitude. When the lands were divided
the government gave them a pro rata
share. They have increased in popula-
tion, now numbering about 1900, raised
respectable families and are doing well.

A Bright Horse and n Clever Dog.

Few telegraphers are better known in
New York than George Mudgett, of the
postal Office. and there are fewer still
who have a better fund Of stories. He
tells of a certain horse who accompanies
a Scranton Pa.) lineman on his trips.
This horse can see "a broken insulator
quicker than his rider, and always stops
when one is reached. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that the horse can telegraph
with his feet. but no one knows what
he "signs." The same lineman owns a
dog who can tell by the bell attached to
the district messenger register when a
certain firm rings a call. The dog at
once runs Go the store, takes the message
in his mouth and delivers it safely at
the telegraph office George Mudgett
says he never invents yarns.-New York

General sherman's Individuality.

In one Of Lawrence Hutton's articles

which causes a certain sculptor to re-
mark: when was busy with bust Of

day, it was a curious fact that he made
positively no personal impression upon
my mind. | admired him and revered
him, but it was hard work TO remember
that he himself was there. / stood ON

rest Of the crowd. L was interested in
looking mt the notables. and l sincerely
grieved for the great mans death. But
do you know at the moment the hearse

dent of the occasion. Only at the last
second did think: There it is again.
