Soon after Fitz-Ureene Hal leek had published his stirring "Marco Iiozzjiris," ho related the poem to a lady, an inti mate friend of hU. She expressed great admiration of the beantiful lines, but when he waa in full enjoyment of what he considered her perfect appreciation aho surprised him by the innocent query: "Who was Marco Bor.zaris?" "Well." said Mr. Halleck. despondent ly, "what's the use of becoming martyrs for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes if ladies won't even inform themselves about the events of the day?" The remembrance of another incident connected with the poem never failed to elicit a groan from its author. At a certain dinner party at which he was present, it was exjiected that each man should sing a song or make a speech. Among the guests was a Dutch Jew, whose English was execrable, and he had been previously persuaded by a joker to commit the whole of Marco Bozzaris to memory that ho might recite it for the gratification of tho poet and the poet's frionds. Tho day came and tho Dutchman waa called uion to iieak. "Shentleiuans," said he rising, "1 can neither make do speech nor sing desong, but 1 vill deliver von grand ioem." This he proceeded relentlessly to do, and Hal leek, when he heard his harmo nious measures delivered in a mixture of English aud Dutch, was divided lx tween tho temptation to laugh aud cry. Youth's Companion. Ho Ilcrkniii'il He Would Hun. Ono of the most interesting characters j in American history is General Zachary Taylor, "OM Rough and Iteady," hero of ! Buena Vista, father-in-law of Jefferson Davis and twelfth president of the United States. We all recollect how Daniel Webster sneered at him. before he was nominated, as a "backwoods colonel.' and refused to let his friends put him on tho ticket for vice president with Taylor for first place, thereby .nissing his last and, svs the sequel showed, best chance of becoming president. Millard Fill more, of New York, took the despised second place and thereby had nearly three years in tho White House. General Sherman used to tell an amus ing little story of Taylor anent his nomi nation for the presidency. At that time General Taylor was stationed at New Or leans, lie was a Kentuckian and the Kentuckians were very properly proud of him. One day shortly before the conven tion met at Baltimore he was approached at New Orleans by an old Kentucky friend, who said: "General, we want you to run for presi dent "Who wants me to run?" asked Gener al Taylor seriously. "Why, we do all your old neigh bors." "Well, then, if that's the case," replied the old hero, without changing the ex pression of his face, "I reckon I'll have to run." Detroit Free Press. Finding Ills Rride. In one part of the Canton of Ticino a very quaint marriage ceremony prevail The bridegroom dresses in his "Sund best," and accompanied by as mu . friends and reiy tives as ho can music for the fete goes to claim his bride. Finding the door locked he demands admittance; the inmates ask him his business, and in reply he solicits the hand of his chosen maiden. If his answer be deemed satisfactory he is successively introduced to a num ber of matrons and maids, some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then he is presented to some large dolls, all of which he rejects with scorn, amid general merriment. The bewildered bridegroom, whose impetuosity and temper are now sorely tried, is then in formed that his lady love is absent and invited in to see for himself. He rushes into the house and searches from room to room until he finds her in her bridal dress, ready to go to church. Then are his troubles over and his 6tate as a benedict assured. Swiss Republic. Trying to liny Back Ills Own Body. This queer story comes from Massa chusetts: A man who lives in a suburb of Lowell is seeking to have a deed given by him twenty years ago recovered. The deed conveyed his body to a surgeon now paacticing in Great Falls, N. H., for the sum of ten dollars and other considera tions, possession to be taken on his death. Since the deed was made the giver has made a fortune in South America and has decided that he would like a Chris tian biariaL The deed provides that the body shall be dissected and the skeleton articulated and presented to a medical university. The lawyers have decided that the deed holds good and that the only alternative is to buy off the doctor. The giver of the deed has made a bis offer, but. it has been refused. Hartford Courant. Instinct of tbe Messenger Pigeon. Upon what the messenger pigeon's wonderful faculty of finding its way homeward over great distances depends, opinions differ. Some ascribe it to an exercise of highly developed intelligence, others to an almost inconceivable per fection of sight, and yet others to in stinct or intuition. The fact of tho matter is, it is one of those mysteries of nature that perhaps will never be reveal ed, and stands side by side with the ac tion of the grilse or young salmon, which finds its way back unerringly to the same stream that it left nearly three years before as a tiny par.

FOR IF BRUTES SEE GHOSTS THEN THERE MUST BE GHOSTS. Examples to Prove Tbat Dogs Have Iteen Frightened in Honses In Which Spirit Were Said m Have Appeared. QnutUa mt Animal Immortality. Some time ago 1 had something to say on animal immortality. In that article I briefly referred to the argument, now not uncommon, that some animals ap pear to have intercourse with beings, or forms and stats of being, unseen by us. This on the face of it is not improbable; but it may 1x5 a stretch of our own im agination to assume that this is a vision of ghosts. But if it can be shown first that, as Wallace affirms, objective phan tasms apjtear to men sometimes, and to dogs sometknes, then it would bo hardly fair to assume that men are to have a ppirit life hereafter and the dog not. It might become necessary for us to shove back our dividing line between immor tals and noniiniiiortals, anil take over on our side at lejtst some of tho le;i.sts. Is the Indian right who, in Tope's language, believes "his faithful dog will liear him company" in the spirit laud? There seems, however, to be a conviction in the minds of somt observers that dogs not only sometimes, but at all times, see and hear what we do not hear. First of all. in justice, let us get the facts, or the averred facts. In Rod and Gun appears the following h-tier: ".Sir, there i.s reason to lielieve that animals can see spirits. At any rate, I have a very remarkable fact to relate. There is in Devonshire a large, rambling old house, which has long had the reputa tion of being haunted. Family after family tried to make it their home. Ono after another they gave it up. all for the same reason that was frequent spec tral ongoings in one of the corridors. Sometimes the ghost was seen by one member of the household, while it was invisible to others close by," which, of course, would indicate that the, seeing, or not seeing, depended on the ocular condition of the family. At least, a skeptic would strongly urge that tho probabilities were in favor of visual de lusion. "Sometimes mysterious sounds showed the ghost to be about, while he was not visible to any of the watchers." A BCAILED DOO. Hearing easily follows hysterical see ing. I have myself seen wires and lamps when I knew none existed. "The fam ily that last occupied the house thought a fierce dog might settle the problem. On the supposition that a human trick ster was at the bottom of the disturb ance. On the first night of the dog's residence the spectral rattlings were heard. The watchers took the dog to the corridor. True to the instincts of his nature ho rushed to the front, bark ing savagely. Suddenly, when half way through the corridor, the dog stopped and gazed upward in evident terror. His tail dropped, and then he retreated trembling. But to the human eye nothing was visible." This story is authenticated as coming from persons of unquestioned veracity and excellent powers of judgment. If you will excuse me for turning aside from the main thought I will give one or two illustrations to show that , ghost seeing i3 not so improbable as you j have judged. Fanny Keinble tells us I that when residing in Rittenhouse I square her maid, sitting so that she faced and could see the staircase and upper landing, saw the door of her bed room open, and an elderly woman in a flannel dressing gown, with a bonnet on her head, come out, walk the whole length of the passage, and then return deliberately in the same manner. The maid knew her mistress was down stairs, j and also was confident that no such per son as she saw could be in the house. Having good nerves, the woman did not i at first tell Mis3 Kemble what she had i seen, but ransacked the rooms to see if she could solve the puzzle, all the time afraid her mistress would be disturbed by some similar apparition. She after ward came on a portrait in the house suddenly that was an exact copy of her ghost. A good chance, of course, for an imaginative maid, or a cunning one, to work up a fine yarn. Yet it is something that Miss Kemble believed the girl did see an apparition. STRANGE CASES. The Epworth parsonage case, involv ing John Wesley, is of great value be cause it links both man and beast in the sensing of apparitions. Mr. Wesley says: "Soon after our large mastiff dog came and ran to shelter between us. While the disturbances continued he used to bark and leap and snap on one side and the other, and that frequently before any person in the room heard any noise at all. But after two or three days he used to tremble and creep away before the noise began. And by this the family knew it was at hand; nor did the observation ever fail." The testimony here is cer tainly credible merely as honest assever ation, but we are free to judge whether it was some electric or magnetic phe nomenon that the dog felt or was ghostly presence. A very strange case is reported by Mr. Hodgson in September, 1890, in which a white lady appeared. "The third night the haunted man's dog crouched and stared, and then acted as if driven around the room. Brother saw nothing, but heard a kind of rustle, and then the poor dog howled and tried to hide, and never again would that dog go to that room" Robert Dale Owen reports a case of a haunted man who had not been able for years to keep a dog. 1 confess these cases all seem different when looked at with some knowledge of dog nature. I am sure that a scared man would scare a dog out of his wits. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Horseflesh as Food. Horseflesh is used for human food in Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, and also in several parts of Italy. It is not considered fit for human food in Buchar est, Scotland or England. Attempts were made in 163, 1875 and 1378 to introduce it into London, but they were not suo cessfuL Philadelphia Ledger. A SEA LYRIC They went to save the salmon nets Out of tbe bunrry sea.

Not long ago a neighbor in a frame house was burned out and the residents in the vicinity all worked hard to try and save some of his furniture. To our surprise the man seeni..l quite indiffer ent to the fate of his chairs and tables, but ran great risk of being burnel alive in his eli'orts to save a few flowers in some shabby looking pots. It did not apjicar to me that his llower collection was worth a dollar altogether, and 1 could not imagine why he took such pains to save it from burning. 1 found out afterward that it was not the Uowers or tho roots that he cared for, as they were all scattered roughly around the front of the house, nor for tho pots, which he threw away. The secret turned out to be that he was using his Cower pots as banks n:h to store his spare money, and he admitted on be ing questioned that h had been doing this for many years. Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Paper from Wood Pulp. Comparatively little paper is made out of rags nowadays exclusively, a fact which is fortunate, as the quantity of paper now used is so great that there would not be enough worn out clothing or shoddy to supply the demand. The strangeness of it is that while paper is being used for dozens of purposes former ly monopolized by wood or even a harder material, such as car wheels, boxes, bar rels, tubs, pails and so forth, wood is rap idly driving other ingredients to the wall in the manufacture of nearly all the cheaper grades of paper. Wood pulp is made by a comparatively lengthy process, but by taking the mills to river banks where there is raw ma terial and water power at hand, it can be produced at less than half the price formerly charged. Ni v York Telegram. Dancing for a Footing. A mild way of hazing uninitiated schol ars has been in vogue for a long time at the Eclectic Medical college. Every new man is required to get up before the whole school and give a little jig before he will be recognized as a fit person to associate with. If he refuses at first to give the jig he is not in it with the boys, who slight him on every possible occa sion and make him the butt of their jokes. Some very dignified scholars found it terribly hard to get through the little ordeal, but experience taught them to succumb, and there is not one of them who has not rattled his feet in accordance with the unwritten rule of the institu tion. Of course this is a matter which does not come under the jurisdiction of the faculty. Cincinnati Enquirer. Criticism for the Eagle. Why cannot some able designer get up a representation of the eagle that looks something like that glorious bird? The 1 spread wing idea is unnatural and ab-1 surd. It is only because of its antiquity j that it is tolerated. An eagle that would j spread its wings and legs in an attempt to symbolize peace and war deserves to ! be shot. A fine design of an American eagle at rest, perched on a crag or limb of a tree, would not be a bad one for our silver coins. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Novel to Some.

In Germany there has been a colony for epileptics for nearly a quarter of a century, a colony which now numbers more than 1,000 patients. There are similar asylums in other countries of Europe. The much talked of Prince Ferdinand of Roumania is a slender man of middle height, with blue eyes, light brown hair and pleasing manner. His character is gentle, but by no means soft. The oldest capital in the United States is Santa Fe, which was the seat of gov ernment in New Mexico as far back as 1640, and yet its population is only 6,185, according to the last census. The steam power of the world may be reckoned as equivalent to the strength of 1,000,000,000 of men, which ia more than twice the number of workmen existing. SPECIAL MARKET LETTER. W. G. Tress & Co., Hankers & Commis sion Merchants, Nos. 2 and 4 Sherman Street, Chicago, in their last special mar ket letter say: Seldom has a new year been ushered in under more favorable con ditions for the material prosperity of our country than the one which, with its un solved problems, lies before us. While other countries suffer from famine, finan cial distrust, monetary stringency, and fear of the dogs of war, to us have been vouch safed abundant crops, undisturbed confi dence, a plethora of money, and a sense of peace and security enjoyed by no other nation on the face of the earth The abundance of money and the feeling of confidence and security manifest in our financial and commercial relations are chiefly attributable to the gratify ing results of the harvest of 1S91, and the excellent foreign demand for our surplus grain, which, for Wheat, has been unprecedented the exports of that cereal either as grain or flour for the first half of the crop year, aggregating 123, 000,01 o bushels. With but one-half of the crop year gone, the balance of trade in our favor, and the re quirements of Europe necessitating the purchasing of enormous quantities of American grain before another harvest, the prospect of a large increase in our available funds in the near future are quite flattering, for the balance duo us must be liquidated by the return of securities or by the remittance of gold. Foreign holders of American stocks and bonds will be loath to part with them while they promise to enhance in value and interest and satis factory dividends are assured, and as funds have already been placed abroad to meet the January first coupons and interest, the influx of gold cannot muc h longer be re tarded. The most unpromising feature in the existing conditions is the state of the growing Winter Wheat, which, during the major portion of its existence, has been subject to such unfavorable environments that the outlook for an average crop is not assuring. Should further damage, sufficient to assure but an indifferent yield, be sus tained, the effect on general business and railway stocks and bonds would be come apparent during the last half of the year, although it would, doubtless, during the first half, stimulate speculation in grain and provisions, and by enhancing the value of our exportable surplus, augment the al ready abundant supply of money. The trade in wheat since our last weekly letter bi h at home and abroad, has been char acterized by the usual holiday dullness although the tenor of outside advices has been encouraging. The amount put afloat by all countries for Western Europe, the amount on ocean passage, the farmers deliveries in the United Kingdom, and the English visible supply have all shown marked decrease, while the shipments from inaia, wnicn lor several weeks have ex ceeded expectations, have decreased in volume sufficient to render them in for midable. Notwithstanding the holiday character of business, the demand at the seaboard for exportation has been quite liberal and is apparently again increasing the movement lrom lirst hands seems to be abating if Minneapolis and Duluth re ceipts be a guage of the volume from this source. torn is gradually assuming a more natural position, there being less interest manifested in the near futures, which owing to the rather small percentage of contract grain in current receipts, hold relatively higher than May. Stocks are increasing, and were it not for the con tinued scarcity of cars which hampers the corn trade more than anything else, the movement in and out would be quite large. It is claimed, however, that the recent re duction in price at country stations has curtailed farmers' deliveries. Oats while influenced to some extent by the fluctuations in corn, seem inclined to show independence in consequence of the decrease in stocks and an unabated export demand. In provisions the trade has apparently drifted into the hands of the packers, who, in consequence of the amount of manufact ured product held by them, may now be willing to permit the market to advance. Receipts of hogs continue to surprise the trade, proving large when a decrease is ex pected and vice versa. In commenting on the movement, the Cincinnati Price Cur rent says: "Should values of corn weaken to any notable degree, and prices of hogs assume a more encouraging promise, the effect would probably be to check the hur rying of hogs into market in most regions. At seven bushels of corn as the equivalent of 100 pounds live weight of hogs, it is apparent that current values furnish a satisfactory premium for feeling hogs. The modern bred animal, wi:h such fa vorable weather as has been experienced this season, should gain 100 pounds from the equivalent of seven or seven and a half bushels of merchantable corn. The old lan was to reckon ten bushels, and this is still the basis of calculation to a great ex tent, but is deceptive." THE HERALD is informed, ami 011 very good aulhority at that, that young couple who have not been married a very great length of time have decided that marriage is a failure, and agreed to separate. Attempted Suicide. Fred Riddle attempted to shuffle of this mortal coil, Saturday by taking two ounces of chloroform, Mr. Riddle, has of late, been drink ing heavily, which is probably the cause. Dr. Humphrey was called and his patient is now out of danger from the effects of the chloroform. Sense in National Proverbs. There is a deal of sound sense in tha proverbs of a nation. Earl Russell de fined a proverb as being the wit of one man and the wisdom of many, and the aptness of this is well shown in the fol lowing from the Spanish, "Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we get." The thought is as old as tho race of mankind, but ages passed before one man hit upon the happy expression of it. This saying, from the Chinese, is a whole homily on pride in one sentence, "When a tree is blown down, it shows that the branches are longer than the roots." For a concise expression of the lofty aspirations of youth and the sober achievements of riper years, take this sentence from Henry D. Thoreau, "The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."
