Consul Was One OF the brightest Monkeys
Ever Exhibited.
Consul, the gentleman ape, one of the
brightest monkeys in the world, recent
ly died in Manchester, England. The
New York Journal says there was never
an ape more polished in his manners
or more punctilious in his dress or more
considerate of the feelings of others.
Consul was born in Central Africa,
and, like many others of his kind, led a
wild, rowing life for number of years.
Nothing is known of his parents, en-
cept that, owing no doubt to the con-
slant sultriness of the weather in that
region and to a custom that had long
prevailed among its inhabitants, they
wore no clothes. But one day Consul
unexpectedly encountered very beau.

Our good editorial brother j d
Allen. of the Butler TIMES, is having
a great deal Of annoyance these days
on account ef the rumor that he is to
be removed from the postmastership
for offensive partisanship in 9th
er words for doing his duty as an
honest man, an able editor, and a
consistent Democrat. From this
distance it is somewhat difficult to
arrive at a knowledge of the exact
status of the trouble, as Mr.. Allen is
reluctant to discuss his private affairs
in public print. ANY movement to
oust him because he conducted O
Democratic paper in a Democratic
fashion is not only uncalled for, but
speaks volumes for the influence of
his paper. MIR. Allen can rise above
such manifestations of spite directed
at him A man who can run as good
a paper as he gets up has no bust
fooling with postmastership any
how. But being postmaster, he
will not be blamed for fighting the
fellows who couldn't run the party
and who seek to crafty their malice.

muzzle against his side and fred the

was the result but not a mortal one.
He fred the other barrel at his left
side beyond setting his clothing
