Ye Whistling Porpoises.

Mrs. Isabel Savory tells in her
book, "A Sportswomsn in India
a story OF hen that was sitting,
but unluckily for her Matching oper-
ations, was interrupted by cobra,
which entered through a chink in
the hen house. The cobra made a
fine meal OF we'll warmed eggs, but
when it esssyed to retire by the same
hole through which it had entered,
it found those eggs in the way. 1t
was much too large to get out, so it
stuck in the hole, half in the hen
house and half outsids. There it
was discovered the next morning in
a surfeited condition. 1t paid for
it's greediness with it's life, and then
it paid back the eggs it had stolen (;
for when the body of the snake was
opened the eggs were all found un-
broken and warm. They were re-
placed under the hen, and in due
time were hatched, none the worse
for their peculiar incubation.

The Dear Old Girl.

Ouida, as Mile. De La Rance pre-
fers to call herself, is now an elderly
lady, but she still affects the white
muslin frocks and pale-blue ribbons
of by-gone era. She is the auto
cratic queen of large circle OF ad
mirsrs at Florence, where she has an
ideal home, and an extraordinary
collection of dogs. Ouida does not
like Eugland or English life aud
food, aud not infrequently at Lon
don dinner. tables has asked for cold

Had We Only Such Judges.

On one occasion, in trying an
abduction case, Lord Morris, once
chief justice OF Ireland, addressed
the jury as follows: 81 am compelled
to direct you to 6ud verdict OF
guilty in this case, but you will
easily see that | think it is trifling
thing, which l regard as quite unfit
to occupy my time. 1t is more
valuable than yours. At any rate, it
is much better paid for. Find,
therefore, the prisoner guilty OF
abduction, which rests, mind ye, ON
four points-the father was not
ayerse, the mother was not opposed,
the girl was willing, and the boy was
convsynient." The jury found the
prisoner guilty, and the judge sent
enced him to remain in the dock till
the rising of the court. Hardly had
he delivered sentence than, turning
to the sheriff, Lord Morris said: "Lst
us Co." and, looking at the prisoner,
he called across the court: "Marry
the girl at once, and God bless you
both"

Knox County, Nebraska.

Knox county, lying north of Pierce
is also an excellent county. The prin-
cipal town in the county is Creighton,
with some two thousand people. two
good banks, stores in all trades, and in
the heart of an excellent farming coun-
try. For a number of years this was
the terminus ofthe Creighton Branch
of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley r. r. The railroad was later
extended to Verdigre, near the center
of the county. In this county there
are number of excellent streams of
water, notably the Bazile Creek, which
furnishes the power for some extensive
Touring mills The Bazile and other
streams were stocked some fifteen years
ago with brook trout by the State Fish
Commissioner at the instance of the
writer, and they have supplied the
fisherman and home people with fish
and fishing for years. The land in
Knox county is excellent farming and
grazing land both. and has been in
great demand within the last year. It
sells at from fifteen to twenty dollars
per acre.

General Cox oues,es, siutiny.

eChCEaA S-CA tLNSEsSSl IL
General Cox was a good discipline
fian. but he never clustered and was
never severe. On one occasion several
officers called at his headquarters and
stated to him that they would not
promise to march their men up the mar
row river valley. He sent them to their
quarters and said nothing of their I'M
pertinence until after the war. .5l
While in camp at Gauley bridge his
quartermaster general shot a private
in the Second Kentucky. The men of
the regiment escaped the control of the
officers and made a rush to kill the
Quartermaster, who had been taken to
CoX's headquarters. Cox saw the men
coming. but instead bf ordering the
guards to fire on them he ran toward
them alone. bareheaded and unafmed.
He reached a gap in a stone wall ahead
of the 500 or 600 furious armed men
and stopped them. He explained that
they might kill him, but they could not
pass.
Strengthening to his full height, he
said. 'Your general, unarmed. as you
see, orders you to remember that you
are soldiers and obey" Much to the
surprise of the score of anxious officers
watching the parley, the men returned
to their camp. Cox sent for a company
from another regiment, which guarded
the prisoner to the lower camp. No
charge of mutiny ever appeared against
that regiment. which afterward. under
Nelson and Palmer, made a splendid
reputation for drill, discipline and hard
