The Original Americans.

1t is possible. according to recent sci
entific researches, that the people from
whom, in the opinion of some investi-
gators, the name of America was de-
rived We're originally inhabitants of the
Polynesian islands. Ages ago, it is be-
ieved, a nearly complete land conncc-
ton existed between those islands and
Central America, the Pacific ocean being
at that time almost bridged with a chain
of islands.
The tribe of Indians afterward known
as the Ameriques are supposed from GER
tain remains to have first taken posses
sion of an island Momotombito-n
the western edge of Nicaragua, where
they left some very interesting carvings
and other tokens of their skill
Afterward, according to the theory,
substance of the land occurred which
drove them eastward until they came to
the fertile slopes of the Amerique noun
tains, where their descendants are still
to be found. 1t has been suggested that
Vespucius got lis pseudonym of Amer
igo' from the name of this tribe of In

If all these things are true, it might

That Tempting Wedding Cake.

A country visitor to the metropolis
was wandering along Oxford street agape
at the many wondrous things that met
his view. Passing large confectionery
establishment, he paused to look at the
good things temptingly displayed in the
window, a huge bride cake particularly
striking his fancy. Unable to resist the
temptation, he entered the shop and in
quired the price.
"Ten pounds" replied the shopman,
eying curiously the very unlikely pur-
chaser, who looked not a bit like pro-
spective bridegroom.
"Ten poundsp' echoed the countryman
in establishment
Then he pondered the matter for a
few moments and fairly petrifed the

A REMARKABLE PIGEON
He Lived on Board Ship For Thirty-throe
Years and Never Strayed Away.

He Lived on Board Ship For Thirty-three
Years and Never strayed Away.
In 1851 Captain Newbury, now of Oak
land, ran out of New York in the ship
Mary Jane and anchored at Norfolk on
April 10. Wah the night came the news
that Virginia had gone out Of the Union,
and the captain hove anchor and pre-
pared to run for it, fearing the con6sca-
ton of his ship.
Just as the vessel was under way
when the first hint of the morning was
streaking the black of the sky, pigeon
spent with the wanderings of the night |
huttered above the ship and alightedl
upon yard. 1t was secured without
difficulty.
From that time until few days ago.
during life of nearly SO years, it never
attempted another fight and lived mate
less, unclassified and lone.
Captain Newbury made pet of the
bird, which had many Of the markings
of long distance pigeon, but which
was unlike any other pigeons known to
America. Though frequently exhibited
and taking valuable prizes for its beauty
and unusual intelligence, no one ven
tured to say to what family of the avi
fauna it belonged, and it seems to have
been the last of its race.
1t scorned the nest provided for other
pigeons, but made its home in a shoeI
lined with wool. Into this he was tucked
and covered like child in crib. If
threatened by predatory cat or wanI
dering dog, Billy would not take refuge
in flight, but hopping to the door of a
member of the captains family would
peck on the door and coo plaintively for
protection. At the approach of strangers
he would give warning in the same man
ner.
Through all its days it would not mate
with any other dove or pigeon, but lived
life of bachelorhood, it's extraordinary
age of SO years indicating that celibacy
tends to longevity in birds as well as
men.
In ordinary demeanor Billy was grave
and reserved, but he unbent to the music
of waltz and tripped his measures in
perfect time and with no inconsiderable
grace.
1t was Captain Newbury's intention to
have exhibited the bird as part of Ala
media county's display at the Midwinter
fair, but this plan was stopped by death.
The taxidermist who was intrusted
with Setting up" the ancient pet said
the species was entirely new to him, and
it is probable that Billy had been blown
from some far shore before finding a
haven on the Mary Jane. Having one
sad experience of fight, he never at
tempted it again.-San Francisco Ex-
aminer.

1t is probably little known that the
material damages resulting from railroad
accidents in Germany have to be borne
by the officials who on investigation are
found to have caused them and from
whose salaries they are gradually de-
Quoted. 1t may be supposed the railway
administrations are rarely fully compen-
stated. A case is known of an official, at
present stationed at Berlin, who for IA
years has had to submit to deduction,
but requires 16 years more to work off
bis indebtedness. Whoever has to make
up for the recent disastrous collision at
the Silesian station will doubtless leave
a heavy debt for his heirs to settle.-Par-

Still Single,

There was a man whose name was
John-John Klein. He wanted wife.
So, hearing of the wonderful results of
making wants known through advertis-
ing, he inserted notice in New York
paper for one. As is usually the case
with the advertiser when he selects the
right medium, the responses were nu-
merous and generally satisfactory. In
fact, it was hard matter to select from
the accomplished applicants the one
who, according to her letter, seemed to
meet his requirements best, but when
the choice was made he sat down in his
rural home on Long Island and answered
it, appointing an interview in New York.
On the day agreed they met in the
city. It was rather embarrassing at
first, especially as the young lady seemed
so diffident. But by and by they got
better acquainted, and John took his
fancee to see the menagerie at the park,
and then they went to dinner. They
philandered somewhat until 8 o'clock in
the evening, when John said he must go
home, and would Cora-he had learned
to call her by her first name-accompany
him to the depot? Of course, and on the
way she hesitatingly and after some per-
suasion unburdened her troubles.
Owing to the failure of remittances
from home she was in need of funds, and
would John lend her $25? John would
and did, and SO grateful was the bride
that soon would be that just before the
train started she threw her arms around
him and gave him a farewell embrace.
Before John got home he missed valua-
BILE diamond pin from his shirt front
Nor did return to the city and subse-
quent search for the young lady reveal
her whereabouts. At last accounts John
was single.

When Italian unity was established
under Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi,
an offer of 100000 year from the new
government was made to the pope in
lieu of his former supremacy in the pa
pal states. The popes have hitherto
never accepted this annuity, preferring
to go to faithful Catholics the world
over for the "Peter's pence" At the be-
ginning of 1894, the first time since 1870,
the Italian government and the papal
court exchanged civilities to slight ex-
tent. This may mean that Pope Leo is
going 10 take another radical step and
make friends with Italy at last. In that
case there would be no further question
of his leaving Italy. He would also come
into possession of nearly $15, 900, 900 back
pay.
