A. the Inauguration OF Grant in March.
1858, the bail was held IN the north wing uf
the treasury building. On each OF the four
floors was music, dancing and promenad-
ing. Gen. Grant at first positively declined
10 attend the ball got up in honor OF his
Inauguration, but was persuaded TO recon
slider his determination. The highest social
and diplomatic circles we're represented.
Gen. and Mrs. Grant, with Vice President
and Mrs. Coifax, held a reception in one
OF the rooms.
The new wing OF the treasury building
was well adapted for the festivities. al
though much trouble resulted from the en-
ployment of colored messengers as attend
ants in the cloak rooms. They received
wrappings and gave out checks wi,A alac-
rity. but when people came later in the
evening and presented those checks Il soon
became evident thar many OF the messen-
gers could not read figures. and the CORE
sIyonding wrappings were not forthcoming.
After fretung a while some OF the tnaig-
nant guests insisted on personally hunt
ing up their property. and the contents OF
the pigeon-holes were soon piled IN pro-
miscuous heaps on the floor. When the
managers were informed OF this mixing up
OF coats, snawls, overshoes and hats Into
an indfscrininata mass they sent one or
their number. Ben: Perley Poore himself,
70 gtTaightea cut matters AS he was max
ing ais way up the crowded staircase ne
heard Just above him the shrill voice OF
Horace Greeley inquiring for one OF the
fools who have undertaken TO man
age this affair"
Mr.. Greeley said this with SO much earn
esSness that the alarmed manager turned
around, pulled OF his badge, and hastily
left the building. rather than face the
wrath OF the vast crowd, whose sentiments
were so blunily voiced BY the New York
editor.
From what those whom I thus inglori-
ously left behind me have since said"
wrote Mr.. POore many years after, 4 do
not suppose that there was ever more
angry, more disguised or more profane
crowd in this city than those who had 20
tTudgs to theis hotels or 10 their homes
that cold night without their wrappings.
To This day Gen Chapman. who was or the
responsible subcommittee, has not heard
the last OF il. and has an occasional init
nation that he should replace a shawl. al
opera cloak or a great coat"
The second inaugural ball OF Gen. Grant,
in March. 1873, was given In the new Mar
ket building. The West Point cadets. Naval
Academy cadets, Albany Burgess corps
and Boston Lancers were present. The hall
was not properly warmed, and caused
much discomfort.

understanding the situation, came up
and Willie in some way managed to
seize one of its feet. The two eagles
about kept him up, but could not fly
off. Willie hung on manfully and shout
ed Justify. The birds could not stand
the strain, however, and came down
steadily toward the earth, bearing
their heavy burden. The crowd stood
in silence, watching this strange at
fair. Slowly and slower the birds came
down, tapping their huge wings, try
ing to rise, but Willie was too heavy.
When within few feet of the ground
Willie let go and dropped safely into
the arms of his waiting companions,
while the two eagles feebly fluttered
Off
Willie was the hero of the occasion
and was taken home on the shoulders
of the boys, where they told the story
of his dcliverance from horrible
death. Willie still flies his kites, but
they are small ones. Strange to say,
the eagles do not modest the kites there
now and the boys say that all the fun
is gone. Willie goes to Sunday school,
too, and so do the boys who told this
strange tale.-Chicago Chronicle.

A few weeks ago one of the most ex-
traordinary fish ever known came to
light in Devonshire. 1t was a club,
found in n I1uddy pool, and certainly it
was as hideous n thing as one could well
imagine. 1t was imprisoned in sort
of cage formed of roots of an elm tree
that had projected under the water, and
it had evidently wormed it's way into
this prison when quite small. Being
unable to find it's way out, it had been
forced to grow in the shape of its cage,
instead of the natural form that all
clubs should take. With no room to
develop, the fish's tail had disappeared
altogether save for little deformed
stump that had wedged its way be-
tween the roots of the tree. The back
fin had also vanished, for there was no
room for 1t to grow in. The whole
body of the luckless club was distort-
ed and had grown into the gnarled and
twisted form of the root cage, The
scales were incrusted with mud and ar
ranged in layers, like roof states. 1t
10 q puzzle to imagine how the fish fed
and lived during its growing years in
that watefy prison, and what 1t did
when times were hard and no food came
by. It seemed contented enough, and
was certainly healthy and strong. In
spite of its distorted shape.-London

"GOD'S THANK YOU"
1t Mndc Little Jack Very Comfortable
md Happy.


A kind act is never lost, although
the Cousin Jack or other person for
whom we do it may not thank us. The
doer always receives reward. as this
little story illustrates.
Little Jack was four-ycar-old and
great pet Of mine, with yellow curls
and blue eyes and he had sweet affec-
tionate little ways. One day his cousin,
boy of 16, set Jack to work for him.
He told him to pull up some weeds in
the field while he finished his story. Lit
tie Jack worked away until his fingers
were sore and his face was very hot.
l was working In ~ room when
very tired little hoy cane up to me.
"Why, Jackie, what have you been do
ing?" | asked.
The tears came into his eyes and his
lips quivered and for n moment he did
not speak. Then he said: "I've been
kind to Cousin Jack; worked drefily
hard for him and he never said thank
you to me-"
Poor little Jacket. / felt sorry for
him. 1t was hard lines not to have a
word of thanks after all his hard work.
But that night when / put him in his
little cot, he said to me: "Auntie, this
morning was sorry that pulled the
weeds, but now I'm not sorry"
"How Is that?" asked. "IIas Cousin
Jack thanked your"
"No, he hasn't; but inside me have
good feeling. II always comes when
have been kind to anyone, and, do you
know, I've found out what it is?"
"What is 1t, darling?"I asked.
And throwing his arms around my
neck he whispered: "It's Gods thank
you."-Our Gospel Letter.

ANTlPATHY AMONG ANIMALS.
Different Species OF Beasts Entertain
a nIsl!Ike for Ench Othcr.

DISLIKE fer Each other.
The likes and dislilles of animals are
unaccOuntGble. Some horses take a
violent prejudice against certain men,
even though they are treated kindly and
though the mans moral character is
fair Between the cat and dog there is
violent antirathy. which. however. is
not infrequently displayed by mutual
respect and even affection in eXcep-
tfonal eases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats. Cows dislike dogs. and so
do sheep, and. what seems stranger, are
particularly partial TO bears. On the
other hand, horses loath and detest
camels and refuse to be dcccntly civil
to them after long acquaintance They
even hate the place where camels have
beer, which seems to be carrying race
prejudice to an extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to eX-
plain these instructive feelings as sur
vivals of ancestral enmities dating from
the days when one race preyed on the
other. This would account for the
natural enmity of COWS to dogs. for
when cows were wild they were obliged
to defend their calves from bards of
predatory wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? 1t is but the other
day that the wild horses organized to
defend their colts from wolves on our
western praires. What could the an
cestral horse have had against the an
cestral camel Of n million years ago?
Above all. why should the horse ap-
prove of the bear? 1t must be that the
horse has a dormant sense Of beauty
and of humor. The ideal of the horse is
grace. combined with strength. He
disapproves from the bottom of his
nature of the hopelessly vulgar, awk-
ward and unaesthetical camel. The
bear, he sees at once. though clumsy. is
unpretentious, truthful, and not devoid
of serse of humor The dog he
recognizes as a good fellow, compan-
ionable and unselfish. lie therefore
forgets his ancestral predictions habits.
4 strong bond between the dog and the
horse is that they are both fond of sport,
whereas n camel would rot 60 an inch
to see the best race that was ever run.
The horse does seem little pre-
JUDGED in the case of the camel, but it
is. n fine. aristocratic, unrcasosa BILE
prejudice he has. And we like him for
himself and for showing that the evolu-
tionists cannot explain all the senti-
ments of refined and highly organized
animal. Man, of course. they can ac-
count for in every particular.-IIart-
ford Courant.

-Tennyson received $4,000 for 1.-The

The learned Oxford professor, Max
Muller, once asked ViveEnnnda if
Ramkrishna, a great Hindu religious
teacher, knew Sanskrit. The answer at
first was evasive. but finally Vivekanan-
da said: when Ramkrshna was in the
jungle as an ascetic n beautiful woman
came down from Heaven and taught
him the language" "Nonsense!" was
Mu!ler's reply, "the only way to learn
Sanskrit is to get n grammar and die
tionary and go to work"
