In the cemetery at Copp's Hill, Mass, is

'they do say that some of them professors
over there are secesh, and maybe they are

The President, with comical smile,
turned to his companion and said:
What have you to say to that, Prof.
Henry?"
The professor, who had sat uneasily dur
ing the first part of the interview, burst
into hearty laugh and explained that the
mysterious light was in the lantern of an
observer, whose business 1t was to look
after the meteorological apparatus by
night. The vigilant neighbor was dismissed
with thanks.

Lax Public Opinion.

This extraordinary record is due to public
opinion, which makes 1t impossible, in most
cases. to convict or punish any one for
helping themselves to the public timber or
public lands Very seldom can jury be
found with sufficient sense of justice or
moral courage to convict a neighbor OF rob
bling the government-and that means the
public at large 1t is not difficult to get
evidence of the crimes. In almost every
case the offense is committed openly, the
robberies do not occur in the night. EVERY
citizen in that locality knows that John
Doe is cutting timber on government land,
and that Richard Roe has fenced In large
tract of pasture for his cattle. Nor do they
see any objection to 1t. Nobody but the
government owns property; nobody but the
public has any interest In It, Why there
fore, should 1t lie idle when John Doe and
Richard Roe need it in. their business? That
is the logic of the situation, and when rich
men like Bartlett Richards and Wiltiarn g.
Comstock want public property they have
no difficulty In finding plenty of people will
Ing to help them get IT.
The indictments in the prairie states are
for the Enclosure of public domain the in
dictments in the mountain states, the gulf
states and Pacific states are chiefly for
stealing timber and fraudulent entries of
timber lands. There is no law to prohibit
any one from pasturing his cattle or sheep
on the public domain, provided he does not
prevent other people from enjoying the
same privilege. But when the land is
fenced in and that privilege is denied 10
the public generally, a erime-pnnishable
by fine and imprisonment--is committed. In
that light 1t seems strange that public
sentiment should justify such offenses
against the neighborhood.

The kings Cock Grower.

1.-THE kings cock Grower was a
quaint old English institution not abol-
ished until the reign of George |. Dur
ing the season of Lent the officer
known officially as the kings cock
Grower" crowed the hour every night
within the precincts of the palace in
stead of proclaiming it in the ordinary
manner. On the first Ash Wednesday
after the accession of the house of
Hanover, as the Prince of Wales, aft
erward George H., was sitting down
to supper, this officer suddenly entered
the apartment and proclaimed in a
sound resembling the Growing of a
cock that it was past 10 o'clock. TAX
en thus by surprise and very inper-
fectly acquainted with the English
language, the prince mistook the crow
for an insult and rose instantly to re-
sent the affront, nor was 1t without the
utmost difficulty that his Interpreter
could make him understand the nature
of the custom and assure him that
compliment was intended according to
the court etiquette of the times. From
that period, however, the custom was
discontinued.

Rule. TO Follow In Conversation.

Rules 10 Follow In Conversation.
Raillery is the finest part Of conversa-
ton, but as 1t is our usual custom to
counterfeit and adulterate whatever Is
too dear for us, SO we have done with
this, and turned 1t all into what is
generally called repartee, or being
smart, just as when an expensive fash
ion cometh up those who are not able
to reach it content themselves with
some paltry imitation. 1t now passeth
for raillery to run a man down in dis
course, to put him out of cOuntenance
and make him ridiculous, sometimes
to expose the defects of his person or
understanding, on all which occasions
he is obliged not to be angry to avoid
the imputation Of not being able to
take a jest. 1t Is admirable to OBJ
serve one who Is dexterous at this art
singing out q weak adversary, getting
the laugh on his side and then carrying
all before him. The French, from
whom we borrow the word, have
quite different idea Of the thing, and
SO had we in the politer age of our
fathers. Raillery was to say some
thing that at nrst arrcnrer d rcpruaSh
or reflection, but by some turn of wit,
unexpected and surprising, ended al
ways in a compliment and to the ad-
vantage of the person it was addressed
to. And surely one Of the best rules
in conversation is never to say thing
which any Of the company can rea-
sonably wish we had rather left un-
said, nor can there anything be well
more contrary to the ends for which
people meet together than to part un-
satisfied with each other or them
selves.-Dean Swift.

The mechanically Harvester

When dawn is red over the Califor-
MIA wheatfelds, says Everybody's
Magazine, a leviathan comes lumber
ing down the road, shooting out heavy
clouds of smoke, and falls to attacking
the grain. This machine, heavy as
church and complicated as a watch, is
n mechanical marvel. Before goes a
numbering engine with heavy stack
and q fire box that vomits out dense
flames from hot petroleum fire. Be
hind II is all levers and big pillars and
curious devices of steel. 1t works with
the complex accuracy of human be-
ing. The sickle buzZes, and the heads
from a twenty foot swath fall smooth
ly on a canvas bed. You catch glimpses
of them rushing here and there
through the complex mechanism, and
presently laborer who has been very
busy with some sacks jerks down
lever. Bump Out tumble four fat
bags of wheat. At the other end
man with a shovel works like mad
clearing away pile of chaff and short,
crumpled straw This is all that the
ignorant observer sees. Only the engi-
neer can tell you how the grain which
stood in proud array a minute before
Is now ready for mill-a months work
In FIVE minutes.
