A certain professor In one OF the leading
schools OF this city was not long since de-
sirous Of incorporating some negro dialect
In story he was preparing. Not being very
well Versed In their manner Of speech, be
bethout him that IL would be a good idea
With this end In view he betook himself 20
the vicinity OF the union depot, near which
representatives, Of the ebOn race are always
to be found
One effort was enough. Meeting q coal
black negro driving a wagon rather well
loaded. and accosting him as "Uncle John, ~
the following brief dialogue ensued:
pretty heavy load, uncle. Can you get
up the hill with it?'
81 do not know, sir. but / presume So"
Such an example Of pure and indebted
English coming from such an unexpected
source almost paralyzed the professor. who
muttered something about the ''degeneracy
OF the modern negro" and, mentally decid.
he retraced his steps TO his apartments.-

EYES ON QUEER PLACES.

Primitive eyes appear i'm animals
very low In the scale Of life. The most
remarkable instance Of these early
organs of sight Is in the jelly-fish,
around whose umbrella-shaped body
are certain little cell-like organs,
which are said to be rrdimentary eyes.
The snail carries It's eyes In tele-
scope watch-towers: this animal Is for
the most part nocturnal, and It's vision
Is in a comparatively high grade OF
development. The eyes are situated at
the tips OF the horn" or "feeler" and
actual observation has proved that the
tiny creature can note a white ball at
the distance of two feet.
The periopphthalmus. a fish of
China, Japan, India. the Malayan arch
ipelago and eastern Africa. Is prob
| ably the oldest OF creatures with its
eyes out of place. The poor fish gets
its name from its eyes: all the terrible
cognomen means after all Ia round
eyed. These organs are very large and
prominent. and possess, for a fish, the
rare property of looking around on
all sides; they are situated at the top
of the animals head. This fish IL
peculiar also I'm that IT hops out OF
water to pursue its prey, Jerking along
on Its pectoral fins and breathing the
oxygen from quantities of water which
It has stored up in Its immense gill
cavities.
There is alive today a little creature
which rejoices in a third eye, directly
In the middle of it's forehead; 1t Is u
