CASES OF FKLEPToMANLA.-That plen.
ty of genuine cases of kleptomania un-
doubtedly exist is well known to both
legal and medical experts. There was,
for instance, the scase Of Q not very
long deceased English nobleman, who
frequently pocketed his hostess's spoons
at a dinner party, and whose pockets
were invariably searched by his man
on his return, with a viewto prompt
restitution. q. ~
In another case a lady, who was
quite rational upon other points, was
discovered to have fifteen bags con
cealed about her, in which were over
eleven hundred little articles which
she had stolen and concealed, al
though nearly every one was absolute
ly worthless.
A clergyman has been known to
steal Bibles under the impression that
he was thereby propagating the gospel ;
another gentleman, sane in otherre-
spects, invariably stole the towels
from any hotel he stopped at while
travelling, and returned them when he
got home and oldest of all, there has
been case of man who would never
eat food which he had not stolen. He
was man of means, and his personal
attendant used to hide his meals SO
that heamight think be himself had
stolen them, inorder to oihduce him to
eat. -. Il, a:',2 80

CARE OF THE ORGAN.

Those who own a parlor organ may
find, in the following extract from The
Score, a hint as to its care which will
save them trouble and expense. Most
people take fair care of the cases OF
their instruments, but the interior
would show much dust and dirt. A
gentleman called on us in relation to
an organ purchased three years since,
and said it was "all out of tune," and
that something ratified" Being in
the habit of receiving the information
that an organ is "all out of tune" "
when there is small piece of dirt
stopping one reed, we sent friend to
look at it. He reported that it was
"outrageously" out of tune. 1t was
sent to our repairing room, and OF
opening the top lid the whole interior
was found filled with large cobwebs.
From under the keys was taken mass
of dirt, in which we found one hairptn,
three needles and eleven pins, while
from the reed cells were removed thir-
ty-two dead flies, and on each reed
point was cake of dust, while the
tongue vibrated between two thick
walls of dirt; the dust on the tongue
altering the pitch, and yle dirt on the
block changing the tone. After clean
ing the reeds and replacing them in
the cells every one was found to be in
perfect tune. Now, this organ had

The EFFICACY OF A CoUNTERsIGN.
While Colonel Gilman; with the Mid.

ing Nashville during the late war he
stationed sentries and patrols in all
the principal streets of the city. One
day an Irishman who had not been
long enlisted was put on duty on q
prominent crossing, and he kept a
sharp and faithful watch. Presently
q citizen came along.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
IA citizen" was the response.
"Advance and give the counter
sign"
"I have not the countersign," "replied
the indignant citizen, "and the demand
for it at this time and place is un-
usual"
"Well, begorah, ye don't pass this
way until ye say Bunker Hill"
The citizen, appreciating the situa,
ton, smiled and advanced to the SEN

magic words.

Down THE WRONG THRoAT.-A
lady living in Philadelphia has pony
of which she is very fond, and not
long ago, as he was not in good health,
she called in a veterinary surgeon, who
prescribed a powder for the equine
favorite. The next morning the old
lady said to her man-of-all-work:
"Pat, did you give the pony his
medicine?"
II put it with his hay, num-" was
the reply, "and he ate all the hay, but
not bit of the powder did he touch
at all. Oh, III fool him tonight. I'll
give it to him sure"
The next morning the lady called
Pat again, and was surprised to see
him looking very rueful.

"Faith, mum, I got lead pipe an

MONKEY WHO PLAYS The VIOLIN.

Philadelphia now boasts of a monkey
that has learned to play the violin
He belongs to John G. Warren, q
young musician of Girard avenue
The monkey formerly belonged to an
organ grinder, who taught him how to
dance. Mr.. Warren purchased the
animal because he was charmed with
it's dancing and thought it would add
pleasure to the evenings at home
when he played the violin, with which
instrument he is a fine performer.
Noting the perfect time it kept, and
also that his monkey was apparently
able to initiate every act it saw, he
concluded to try it to play violin.
For some time very slow headway was
made, but finally Jocko seemed to
catch the idea and would ply the
bow over the strings, with, however,
very little regard to time or tune.
For an hour each day his master
tried to teach Jocko the elements of
music, and after the mans patience
was almost exhausted, his efforts were
crowned with success, and the monkey
began to play one tune fairly we'll.
That tune once mastered seemed to
awaken all of the latent musical talent
of the animal, and he became passion
ately attached to the violin, becoming
more proficient each time he played
the instrument.
Now he executes several waltzes,
taking the violin in his arm in correct
position, and, keeping time with his
feet and head as he plays, not only
furnishing the music, but waltzing at
the same time. While his master does
rot expect him to become a model to
play, he is nevertheless very proud OF
his monkey and claims that he is a
better player than the average man
who considers himself fairly proficient.
Mr.. Warren has almost closed deal
by which he is to dispose Of the mon
key violiniss to the proprietor of a
museum. The price to be paid is said
to be over $500.

HOW PAT DID 1T.

Yesterday it was the good fortune
of reporter of this paper to meet a
priest who is frequently called to the
Charity hospital, and who has accom-
plished much good in reforming the
unfortunate people so often found in
that institution. During the conver-
sation the reverend father told numer-
Gus amusing anecdotes of his personal
experiences, and funny story about q
priest in Ireland who was laboring to
get a number of convicts to join the
Catholic church. 1t seems that seven
men were sentenced to be transported,
and among them was an Irishpan
convicted of counterfeiting. Accord
ing to the custom of the country, the
convicts were allowed to choose any
religion they desired to adopt, and the
Irishman made up his mind that they
should all become Catholics. Accord
ingly when they assembled in the
prison yard the subject of religion
was brought up by the Irishman, who
said: "Boys, we have all been bad
together, we have made lots of money
and spent 1t, and now since we all
have to join the church there is no
reason why we should be separated.
I now propose that we toss ha'penny
and shape our course on the result.
If harp comes up we will be Catho-
lies, and if a queen shows on top we
will be Protestants."
Agreed" said the convicts, and
Pat tossed the ha'penny and the harp
won.
Accordingly, they all became Catho-
lies, and just before their departure
the parish priest approached Pat and
asked him how he managed to convert
his fellow convicts. "Oh, it was easy
enough" replied Pat, and then he
told the story of the ha'penny. :
"Did you risk your immortal soul
on the turning of penny?" exclaimed
the priest in holy horror.
"Indeed I did not" replied Pat
"that ha'penny had harp on both
sides. I made it myself.-New Or

stops left drawn. Had there been no
"forte" stops to hold the swells open,
the dirt would have remained compar-
atively harmless on the outer board.
But these being left permanently open,
together with the other stops, the dust
and insects had access to the most del
icate parts of the organ, and the con
sequence was much annoyance and
dissatisfaction with the instrument
when the latter was not at all in fault.
