The late Bishop Wilmer, Episco-
pal bishop of Alabama, was once
being entertained by Major Wad-
dell, a devoted churchman, but who
at that time was not intimately ac-
quainted with the bishop. When
they reached home after a long
morning service the bishop looked
very much exhausted and the ma
ior asked him if he wouldn't allow
him TO make him a weak toddy.
mo, sir, replied the bishop very
slowly. The major blushed and
commenced to apologize saying that
he knew ministers did occasionally
under certain conditions take a tod
dy. Eyes, sir" said the bishop,

Gen. Louis Wagner, who was colo

ing incident about the commissarv
sergeant of the regiment. The gen
eral says.
One day while we were in Camp
Stokley, situated on Ridge road,
near Wissahickon, in June, 1861,
one OF the members of the regiment
asked the question of the corporal
on guard;
Where can l get something to
eat?'
Go to He'll, said the corporal.
Look here, corporal, fairly shou-
ted the inquirer, L will have you

corporal acquainted him with the

The frogs skin is SO important as
a breathing apparatus that the crea-
ture would die at once of sufioca-
ton if the pores were closed by a
coat of sticky vanish. by dust or in
any other way. While we are speak
ing of his breathing you will notice,
says the Woman's Home Companion,
that his sides do not beave as ours
do at each breath we take. A frog
has no ribs and cannot inhale aud
exhale as we do, but is obliged TO
swallow his air in gulps, and II
YOU watch this little fellows throat
you will see it Continually moving
in and out as one gulp follows an
ether. In order to swallow his
mouth must be closed: just try TO
swallow with your mouth wide open
and you will see what mean. A
freq, then, always breathes through
his nose, and If you held his mouth
open he would suffocate as surely
as though you gave his skin a coat
OF varnish.
Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth
for his size IL we were TO put a fin
ger inside it we would find that he
has a row OF teeth in the upper jaw
and that his soft white tongue, un
like our own, is attached in from
and is free behind. When he wishe:
to catch an insect he throws out the
free end of the tongue, then draws
it in so rapidly that it is difficult Il
see whether he has been successful
or not. AS the tongue is coatet
with gummy fluid the insect sticks
to il and is carried back into the
mouth, which closes upon it like the
door Of tomb. Frogs however, are
not limited to one mode OF feeding
they often leap open mouthed upOr
larger prey, which includes besides
insects, small fish, mice, small duck
lings, polliwogs and tiny frogs.

The Cheerful Convict.

The new Chinese Ambassador
will not outshine Mr.. WI, but he
is, all the same, a conversationalist
of some brilliance. Here is a Chi
nese story that he told in Washing
ton the other day.
The ruler of a province once had
occasion to visit a certain prison.
The prisoners gathered about him
with doleful looks and each besought
a pardon. One had been falsely
sworn against by an enemy. Ano-
Their had been sentenced through q
careless error. A third had proof
that the man still lived whom he had
been charged with killing. Each
prisoner, in word. was innocent.
and each demanded, therefore, his
liberty. But the Governor noticed
one convict who said nothing. This
fellow, with very cheerful air,
kept on at his appointed prison task,
giving the august visitor no heed.
He was sent for.
MY friend, the Governor said
to him, why do you look so well
content, and why do you alone re
frain to ask me for pardon?"
Your EXcellency," replied the
convict, Il was a great villain in
my time. The crimes | committed
are almost beyond number, and the
sentence | received for them was
much lighter than | deserved.
Hence, | am of good cheer, and
hence | make no claim to liberty"
The Governor smiled, and sum-
moned the lord of the prison.
Discharge this wicked dog at
once. " IL he is suffered to remain
here he will in fallibly corrupt all
his innocent companions.

England Is extremely desirous of getting this boundary question out of the way, as 1t is an irritating point in her present amicable relations with the United States, and the English member of the boundary commission will undoubted- ly lean toward speedy and definite re- suit.
 There is not really much hope in Can ada that the High Joint Commissioners will arrive at any trade agreement which Wal be ratified by the United States Sen ate and thus lead to reciprocity. While the commercial feature of the cornmis- sion was given greatest prominence in the discussion of the matter in the budget speech of the Minister Of Finance. there are. however. many other very important questions in relation to fisheries, etc,
 which the commission can dispose of am

 The Canadian tariff Is today much low

 Looking into their hard little faces, one wondered how they could sing 90 sweetly. On almost every face and head there were from one to a half dozen livid scars. attestations of former cruelty or neglect. Some bad low brows, some had ears set high. with little ferret eyes. Some had such faces as would justify an afndavit of good character before any sane man would employ them. I singled out few as looking especially crafty and cruel. and asked Mr. Griffin about them.
