Ever since the beginning of the present
republic the Republican party has shown
a peculiar tendency to transform the
chamber of deputies into a convention

A Musical Canine Critic.

A wonderful story. of French nu'
sical critic is related by persons who
profess to have been acquainted with
him and to have seen him in attend
ance on musical performances. He
was dog, and his name was Parade.
Whether he had q different name at
home was never known. At the be.
ginning of the French revolution he
went every day to the military parade
in front of the Tuileries palace. He
marched with the musicians, halted
with them, listened knowingly to their
performances and after the parade dis
appeared, to return promptly at pa
rade time next day.
Gradually the musicians became at
tached to this devoted listener. They
named him Parade, and one or another
of them always invited him to dinner.
He accepted the invitations and was a
pleasant guest. It was discovered that
after dinner he always attended the
theatre, where he seated himself
calmly Ia corner of the orchestra
and listened critically to the music.
If new piece was played he noticed
it instantly and paid the strictest at
tention. If the piece had fine. melo-
dious passages he showed his JOY to the
best of his doggish ability, but If the
piece was ordinary and uninteresting
he yawned, stared about the theater
and Enthusiastically expressed his disap'
pro7al. -Brandon Bucksaw.

The Burning Mountain.

II Johnson County, Wyoming, there
is what is called the Burning Noun
tain. It is an immense coal bank,
that has been on fire ever since the
first white man visited that country.
There are many traditions among the
Indians as to the origin of the fire,
but all point to its great antiquity,
and it is possible that this bank has
been burning for 200 or 800 years.
The country around presents q
singularly barren appearance, which
is not the least improved by the looks
of the mountain itself. In places here
and there reefs of coal crop out, and a
high wind fans the fire to furious
blaze. Elsewhere the fire is mainly
underground and indicated only by
the heat of the surface and the in
Vulnerable jets of smoke and tongues
of fame that appear through the cracks
in the baked earth. It is dangerous
to go about the place, for not only are
there frequent cavings of the surface,
but the gases which arise from the
burning coal ars extremely deleterious

; IT'S USELESS TO REGRET.

We've done the best We could my dear,
There's nothing to regret
We've taught the children many truths
On which our hearts were set;
And II against our old-time ways
They foolishly protest,
Ne need never regret, my dear,
That we have done our best.
There's many plan that's come to nausht
There's many light gone out;
And ddisappointments, griefs and cares
Have hedged US round about;
And many sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've done the very best We could;
IT'S useless to regret.
For out Of evil good has come,
And out Of darkness light;
And all wrong doing in this world
Some day will be set right;
And though We have not reached the height
Attained by others. yet
We've done the best we could, my dea-;
IT'S useless to regret.
We've tried to live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
Gainst evil things to take our stand,
In goodness to excel
So judge yourself not harshly, dear,
|. Nor at misfortunes fret;
We've done the best we could, AMI
IT'S useless to regret.
