A Sympathetic Parrot.

Whooping cough has been uncom-
fortably intrusive in this city this win
ter. In one family up town three chill
dren were afflicted with that ailment
ut one time. They coughed and coughed
and coughed, and the family pet, an
intelligent parrot, took it into his head
to initiate them. Whenever any one
of the children coughed he would ac-
company it with coughing paroxysm
so natural that it was impossible to
tell whether it was one of the children
or the parrot that coughing. The bird
seemed to enjoy having the whooping
cough, and after awhile he clamoretl
for medicine whenever he saw that it
was being administered to the children.

The suitan's Admlrer.

No one is so great a hero or person
age in the eyes of the little Crown
Prince of Germany as the Sultan of
Turkey, the one ruler who " members
him with costly presents IN all great
anniversaries and birthdays. The
Abraham pony which his ms jesty sent
to the future emperor year ago is the
boys constant delight. I!a rides him
daily, and loves to race with the ad-
jutant who accompanies him. As the
pony is exceedingly fleet, he is usually
the winner. The Prince has been an
officer of the guards since his tenth
birthday, is already daring rider,
and promises to become as reckless as
his father in handling horses. En-
peror William, despite his lame and
useless hand, is afraid of no horse
when once upon his back, although
owing to his disability, he has diff

Matter-of-Fact Dog.

s'There are prosaic men and women,
and there are matter-of-fact dogs"
says writer in the London Spectator.
For purely business purposes they
are often the best" he adds, aud tells
little story to prove the fact:
We once owned an excellent retriev-
ing spaniel of the simple order of mind,
without n grain of humor. This dog
accompanied us unaslSed when we
wanted to shoot bullfnch in the gar
den to stuff. The gun went off and
the poor bullfinch dropped.
Now this dog had been used, when
the gun was fred, to go and look for a
dead or wounded rabbit. So, instead
of looking under the apple tree, he
disappeared into the hedge, and in a
few minutes he returned with u rabbit
in his mouth! So much for the value
of matter-of-fact dog.

New YORK, March ia petition to
Secretary of State Gresham against the
Russian treaty has been signed by IA
large number of persons in this city.
The petition in part is as follows:
1T is evident that under the charge
OF attempted assassination any offender
whatsoever, any patriot who has
planned his country's liberation, and,
perhaps, even persons in nowise i'm
plicated in political projects, whose
sole crime consists in having failed to
denounce their relatives and friends to
the police, might under the terms of
this treaty be seized on American soil
and returned to Russia, to be dealt
with under the penal code above cited.
THAT the people of the United
States should enter into such engage
ments is contrary to the traditions Of
American freedom and repugnant to
the moral sense of civilized nations"

petition are Daniel Appleton, Felix
