Would Stop a Watch.

Rev. Charles Yield, of Nottingham,
Eng: tells, upon the authority of a
member of the lady's family. a story
that in early life Tennyson was much
enamored of a Miss Bradshaw, and
that once when he was riding with
the Bradshaw family the object ofhis
alteration asked him the time. When
he took out his watch she looked
over his shoulder, whereupon the
future poet exclaimed, 'Don'tp Up
on her asking in surprise why she
was not to look, Tennyson is said to
have replied: FNo, it would stop to
look at you" Rev.. Mr.. Yield puts
upon this remark a meaning COM
plinentary to the person to whom it
was addressed and to the poetic gen
ius of Tennyson. It seems more rea-
sonable to discover in the remark
the original OF the American slang,
"ugly enough to stop a watch" and
at the same time a full and sufficient
explanation of why the poet was
thrown over by Miss Bradshaw, as,
according to the story, he was.

New Orleans Iceries,.

The New Orleans ice factories are,
with one exception, very successful.
They have capital of $662,000'
They received last year for their pro
duct $36O,0OO, at the rate of Sc per
ton. So successful have they been that
two new ice companies are contem-
plated, and will probably be in OPERA
tion this year. The present warm spell
has heated the water somewhat, and
increased the cost of manufacturing
ice.
In case of an ice famine up north
tAis coming spring in consequence of
the present phenominal winter, the
New Orleans factories express a will
irigness to ship ice there for consump-
tion if they can get a good price.
The artificial icemen here express the
opinion that snch a famine will occur,
and say that several northern deal
ers have approached them on this
subject of establishing an artifcialice
factory in the north as a protection
against such contingencies as the
present.-New Orleans Special.

Colombian Roads.

Of the countries of South America
Ecuador and Colombia are probably
the least known to Americans. Co.
lombia, with 100000 inhabitants,
with an erea Of squaremiles,
and lying at our very doors, is less
known to us than much of the inte-
rior of Africa. This is chiefly due to
the lack of roads, both from the
coast and between the cities of the
interior. What roads they have are
chiefly bride roads, badly laid out
and badly managed, with little effort
being made to improve or. to pre-
serve them. In travelling, one has to
provide ones self with asaddle mule,
and with sufficient cargo mules to.
carry luggage, which should be
packed as nearly as possible in 100
pound packages; the latter must not
be bulky, but as near like a state
rooh trunk as possible. Then bed
and bedding, and very often food,
have to be provided, as the accomo-
dations for travellers, outside the
large cities, are miserable. Many
and many time one has to put up.

reasoning Power IN II Dogs,

Coming down the street observed
medium-sized black dog sitting be-
fore a store door, head turned to one
side, and bent down toward the
ground in an unmistak BILE meditative
position. So engrossed was he that
not q muscle moved. His thoughts
were SO intently drawn within himself
that my footsteps close to him did
not disturb his meditation. Was he
thinking where he could get his next
bone? Or did he have some revenge
to work out? It seemed to be diff
cult problem, from his deep study.
That dogs can and do work out a
problem l have personal evidence, for
| once witnessed a dog chase cat in
to barrel, and lie down at his leisure
to mediate how to get her out, as he
paused, evidently in fear of her paws.
At last he arose and backed into the
barrel, evidently not fearing to intro
duce himself that way, as he guarded
ly looked over his shoulders. The cat,
however was too chivalrous to strike
him in the rear; she bounded over his
back, and both had race for, the
barn, the cat being the winner.
Another time l heard two little
dogs barking viciously in the night,
and next morning found full-grown
cat--a large one, too-dead in: the
yard. l could not believe they had
killed her. A few nights afterward,
at midnight, | again heard a great
yelping in the yard, and got up to-
see what was the rumpus. 1t was a
clear moonlight night, and I saw at
the foot of a small plum tree two
small white dogs, pets of our neigh.
bors, watching a large cat perched
in the fork of the tree, out of reach.
Suddenly she dropped purposely, or
fell. Instantly, as if by understand
ing, one was. at her head and the
other at her tail. Keeping that
position, despite her twisting and
turning, the cat was killed before she
could get to fence some thirty feet
off. g .<. 80. @.s-.. = :
