1t was laughable to see the cring-

Foster was standing near the fort,

THE LAW AND ENGAGEMENT
RINGs.-An important decision
has just been pronounced in Yer
mont as to engagement rings. A
young man sued to recover one that
he had given to young woman,
who, after accepting the ring, re-
pudiated the engagement. The
judge decided that it must be re-
turned, or else that the recipient
must fulfill the conditions under
which it was presented. The Eng
lish Courts, some years ago, decid-
ed that an engagement ring is not
recoverable under. any circumstan-
ces.

cY"A Chinaman, lately return
ed from a trip to Europe, treated
his countrymen to the following
description of the piano: 1.-The
Europeans keep four-legged beast,
which they can make to sing at
will. A man, or more frequently
n woman, or even a feeble girl, sits
down in front of the animal and
steps on its tail while, at the same
time, striking its white teeth with
his or her fingers, when the crea-
ture begins to sing. The singing,
though much louder than a birds,
is pleasant to hear. The beast does
not bite, nor does it move, though
it is not tied up"

sTHEGIRLILEFT BEHIND Me. -

"THE GIRL / LEFT BEHIND Nj"
Although the song "The Girl /
Left Behind Me- is so well known,
its authorship is obscure. No one
can tell who wrote either words or
the music. In this respect it is
like good many songs, notably
the old ballad of "The Bailiff's
Daughter of Islington." The song
"The Girl ! Left Behind Me- has
been the soldiers and sailors 10TH
to-leave for nearly a century, and
it has been so long played on men,
of-war as they weigh anchor, and
by the bands of regiments as they
quit towns where they have been
quartered, that its omission would
be regarded as a slight upon the
fair sex.
The song is doubtless of Irish
origin. Chappell, however, puts
in an English claim so the air, al
though he admits it may be Irish.
This authority thinks that it was
probably written about 1853, when
there were encampments along the
coast, where many tunes of this

the Irish theory. lie says the air
was taken down from an Irish har-
per, named O'Neil, in 1900, the
author and date being unknown.
The song has been found in manu-.
script dated 1770, but its true orr.
gin is yelled in obscurity.

sW-An example of the rapidity
with which the American people
can change their minds is seen in
the recent elections in Cincinnati.
On November 9Th, the city went
Republican by $4,000. A special
judicial election was held there on
the 18th inst, and the Democrats
were successful by 5000 majority.
A similar change throughout the
Union would give the Democrats a
quarter million majority.

LoNe DIsrANoE HOUSE, MoyINe.

LONG DISTANCE HOUSE MoyING.
"A curious case of house moving
was recently witnessed in Oregon !:
A man who owned a residence at
Seattle, which cost him $4,000 to
erect, removed to Olympia and did
not have sufficient funds to build
another house. He bought q lot
and concluded to remove the build
ing he owned at Seattle. Every
one laughed at him, but he persist
ed. Rolling the house down to the
river, he loaded it upon a scow and
it was soon at Olympia, distance
Of about sixty miles. Then he had
it rolled upon his lot and, strange
to say, not a timber was strained
nor even a piece Of furniture broken,
although he had not removed the
contents before starting the house
upon its unusual journey.
