Tlio IMjjott Inquiries.
The sensation of the hour both In England
mid America Is thu evidence of I'ichard
I'igott , llio now notorious forger and black
mailer , before llio London Times' commis
sion for Iho past three days. Tin : lice Is
enabled to place before its readers to-day
the full attempt made by Pigott lo black
mail the Irish Land league in 18S1 through
its treasurer , lion. Patrick ISgnn , and .Mr.
Kgan's spirited reply thereto , nil of which
were read before the commission :

My Dear Mr. ligan : 1 received your note
yesterday , but hnd not an opportunity of
writing until to-day. The matter 1 desired
lo communicate lo you is , I think , of great
importance mid of Mich an extraordinary
character that you might well bo warranted
in regarding it with much doubt , but it is ,
nevertheless , strictly true.
On this day two weeks I received an anon
ymous Icllcr , slating thai on Iho Monday
following a couple of gentlemen would call
upon mo nnd mnko a proposition to me ,
which , if acccptod , would turn out very
greatly to my advantage. Accordingly on
Monday evening tbo.v came out to my house
in Kingstown. They declined to give mo
their names , and I have not the faintest idea
who they are. The interview lasted a
couple ot hours , nnd to mauo a long story
short , they asked mo to publish a statement
in the "Irishman" und "FhiK" which Ihoy
showed mo , nnd staled Ihat I might name
my own price for doing so , and thai I would
bo indemiiilled against the costs and expenses
which might arise out of its publication.
The thing purports to bo a true statement of
the expenditure of the hind league fund , und
is , 1 think , an outrageous libel from begin
ning to end. it , however , makes very clr-
c.umstanciul charges , mentions names and
gives dales , and also what is nllogcd are
authentic copies of correspondence between
people in the country and the executive of
the league , which consists of demands on
the ono hand for funds to defend parties
accused of complicity in outrages and for
Iho support of . the families of evicted
tenants , on thu other curt nnd emphatic re
fusals. My own opinion is thai the whole
affair is n lissuo of falsehood , bul it is so art
fully done und so apparently truthful thut its
publication would , I think , do much harm.
As a matter of course I refused point blank
to have anything to do with it ut lirst , but on
consideration I thought it best lo prolong Iho
chat in order , If possible , to ibid out tlio
source from which it proceeded. 1 did not
succeed In this , but requested time to give
the matter further consideratisn. This was
assented to , and wlien 1 am prepared to give
the llnal answer I am to advertise in the
"Irish Times" a form of advertisement
agreed upon , and then tlio parties will again
call upon me. My llrst and strong impres
sion was Unit our friendsof the I. K. 15. were
the originators of the affair , but from
cautious but offcclivo inquiries 1 made
nt headquarters 1 am perfectly certain that
that is not the eoso ; that thuy have neither
land , act or pnrl in it , but I have also ascer
tained certain things which make me con
clude that Iho moving spirits in tlio affair
nro the Castle people. This may seem to you
incredible , but I feel sure that it is the fact.
1 have opportunities , ns 1 told you before ,
for hearing occasionally how things are pro
ceeding in thai quarter , and 1 have learned
thut Just now there Is a great iiutivily
amongst the ofliclals nnd there is ua appear
nnco of mystery observed which indicates
thut there Is something "in the nlr. " I know
tor a fact that a largo number of "writers , "
thut Is , supernumerary clerks , have been
brought from London , uml that Ihoy have
been sworn to secrecy as regards the work
tlioy nro engaged on. The Irish c.lerkH
would not bo Irusled , and Ibis fact , and
ether things which 1 won't trouble you
with , glvo mo an absolute assurance that
this move has its origin in Dublin Castle ,
From what I hour , too , I four that
theru will bo dirtier work done there yet
than wo have uny conception of.
The gravest aspect of the matter , to my
mind , however , is the suspicion that there
nro "traitors In the camp , " that some onn in
your conlldcnco , or Uml of Iho ether gentlemen -
men of the league , has " .sold the pass. " God
forbid that 1 stu-uld endeavor to create un
founded suspicion in your mind about any-
one. The whole affair may bo a f'.ibrlenlion ,
but from the casual glance I got at the docu
ment , I came to the conclusion that If any of
the statements it uontulns Imvo the slightest
foundation in fact , they must have boon ob
tained from BOIUO ono In thn conllduncoof
the league loaders. At nil events ,
thcro can bo no harm in your bolng
put upon guard. I have not mentioned
this matter to anyone , nor will I do so. I
will bo guided by your ml vice. If the thing
were published It could bo exposed , nnd this
course may recommend itself to you , but on
tlio other hand Iho Kuglish papers would
maUo the most of It , mid would not trouble
themselves overmuch with tno mibsioquent
exposure nf its falsehood , and 1 think it
hardly possible that its publication would not
product ) mistrust , to ul least some extent ,
llcsldes. It would bo welcomed by our Fenian
frk'iuls beyond anything Ihat could posslhjy
cccur , nnd I cannot conco.il from myself tlio
fad Ihat It would servo mo In their estima
tion , und 1 need hardly tell you how great an
object money is to mo just now , and 1 have
reason to bobovu these peoule will mvu mo
ovurylliing I a alt , but I consider myself in
honor bound to ; on , urn ) , bul ; us 1 am , 1 can
truly say thai 1 have been always
true to these who trusted me.
1 ran easily understand why tluto people
dcslru to have the thing published In Um
"irishman , " etc. They know that its only
chimed of producing an- effect in thu way
they dcttlro Is to Imvo it circulated amongst
the ni'tionahsts nf Grout llrituin nnd thu
United Stau-s , purticulurly In ihn United
Btaleti , Thuy cannot hut bo uwuro that UK
publication in any of thu govornmcntor land
lord papers would fail to producn any offccl

mvuro of the imHsalbillty | of getting it pub-
lifht-d In any pu | > or which is i hnrmo'iy

nnd thai only bceaw > e It * proprietor Mcty
Impecunious atil , M sonio fray , not over

Mr. ISgan replied to this UmtthoroJVM only
one course open to any honest man In dcallm ;
with a proposal of this kind not only to re'
fu o the offer but to expose the fact that
such an offer has lK" n madn.

Ii nun , Sith March. 1SM.-
Oftlco : Lr. Abbey street. My dear Mr.
Hgan : 1 was glad to get your note of the ( Hh
fust. , ns I thought you had decided to not
tnko notice of my letter and 1 was about to
take a stop which I could not recall. U in
well Hint you should understand the nature
of the document I am asked to publish. It
would bo , 1 think , very damaging to the
league , oven though it may be proved to bo
mainly built up of fabrication. It proceeds
in this way : It gives the amounts received
for the league and ncicnowlodcpd
from week lo week , nnd also , the
sums stated to have been disbursed.
Tlio total amount , ( as near ns I can recol
lect ) said to have been received per tlio
ieaeuo up to the of February Is t lu.OO. ) ( in
round numbers ) , taken from the relief fund
illo.OX ) nnd surplus of defense fund esti
mated at IPl.OOOin nil not far short ol
< ! ( > , IHM. Then the payments for which the
league takes credit in Its weekly ropnrts is
put down nt i'1,000. Then It is asked what
has become of thu largo balance and gees on
to show thai MO much was paid to ono mem
ber of parliament , so much to another , so
much for this , that , and the other election
expenses , and so on , while , it is assorted ,
shoals of letters from evicted tenants for IH-
slsinnco were being ivcelvnd and disregarded
at the league ofllcc. Then It is uslccd why
the remaining funds were taken to France
mid the answer is given in order that Ihoy
might bo out of the way -not of the govern
ment who dare not lay a linger on them , but
of the people to assist whom It wassubscrlhed.
it is to bo ( cent to sustain narllumenty agita
tion and support members of parliament.
Then there Is Homething about n change of
treasurers In America made at your sugges
tion , in order that tno money might reach
your bands direct nnd no ono else. This is
but thu baldest outline of the tliinir which in
my opinion is very damaging. My reason
for thinking that the cast la people are the
prime movers Is that articles have nppenred
in the Kxprcss written much in the same
tendency , but mllnltcly moro guarded and
cautious.
1 enclose ono that appeared yesterday.
Now you will see from enclosed note that if
I published this document I will get .i.T > UU
and will not be required to vouch 12 the cor
rectness of any of the stntements It con
tains. I limy oven throw doubt upon them ,
there Is therefore nothing to prevent mo
publishing it except my arrangement with
you. That , however , 1 could got over by
paying you the amount you nuvunced mo ,
and the arrangement censes to bo binding.
1 come to the point therefore , t am in
dospurato straits. I must have money BOIIIO-
how or throw up the sponge at onco. 1 can
not afford to lot so lucky a chance pass of
saving myself literally from ruin. No matter
what the consequences nro 1 must uml will
take this offer , unless you come lo my as
sistance. I will close with these people , send
you the full amount I owe you , print tlio
thing nnd await events , unless you will stand
by me. All 1 want from you is a temporary
loan of .L"U : ) . Surely you can manage that ;
it may bo difllcult but it is to bo done I Know
iierfectl. " well. This will leave mo in per
fectly smooth water and I will take no
further notice of the other fellows. The
money will bo sure lo bo repaid , and prove
to bo the best laid out money the league has
over expended.
13e good enough lo glvo Ibis matter your
earliest nnd most favorable attention. If I
do not hear from you by Monday morning I
shall bo reluctantly compelled to close with
those people because my affairs are now ar
rived at such a crisis that delay will bo fatal.
Faithfully yours , HICHAUU Piuorr.

Some Ugly Fviiinor-i.
Rumor has it thai the the senate nnd house
committees appointed to investigate the
asylum explosion are slashing nl a round
rale. The committed of the house seoma to
bo bent on going to the bottom of the matter
regardless of where blame falls , but when
ever anything comes up that reflects in any
manner upon Superintendent Knapp , or oven
looks as though it might rolled upon him.
the samite committee demands the why ami
wherefore in advance , nnd covers covert ob
jections on the ground that witnesses de
manded will incur a needless expense , that
the state in its poverty can ill nITord to .stiind.
It is given out substantially that the investi
gation will prove to bo a solid coat of white
wash.
The ugly rumor was afloat on the streets
this 'morning that some twenty-live of the
prisoners at the Btnto pen wi-ro suffering
from loathsomu diseases , and the news came
from a quurter so roliabli ) that Tin : lii ! : : rep
resentative sought to got to the bottom of it ,
ns such a sta.to of facts could not prove other
than ruinous nnd damnable to the manage
ment nf the institution. Investigation re
sulted in Hnding that the rumor was not all
Hinoko , bul Unit those diseased , six nroichl
in number , were auionc : the last of the con
victs committed to the pen. What
ever reflection there may be , therefore ,
dates back to the munagoment of some
county jail , providing they were confined before -
fore conviction any great length of time.
Warden Hopkins' skirts are clour and there
can bo no reason for the appointment of an
other "whitewashing investigating" coin-
mittco , familiarly called.
The talk is distinct thai the employe oust
ing committee of the houuo has been called
upon to invade the engrossing or enrolling
rooms for the purpose of "chopping" the
names of two of the young ladlex there from
the piy ; ivlls of the state , for reasons , if
made known , that would create a profound
sensation. H Is reliably learned that the rn-
moval of the ladies in question has been
asked uy one of the lady employes of the
houjo of irroproachublo character and stand
ing. The end of this chapter is still in the
distance.

This is. nn oil day In the district court of
Lancaster county are far ns news of general

Fitzgerald vb tno Fitzgerald it Mallory Con
struction company ot nl , is written on the
call board for trial , This case may 110 tried
during the coming week , but the chances uro
that it will 03 continued until the defenao
can get a moro lilting opportunity for n dual
trial in the federal courts. It is known
that tlio defense is adverse to trial in the

The Puden vs Paden cases now bid fair to
terminate existence in the district court.
I'oth the dlvoivo and deed cases have boon

in the tower of the high school building
began to chime f > o'clock , the deep-toned
whistles wuro opened , their discordant
shrieks sending a release from the labors of
ono moro day to the hundreds ot tired arti
sans wliooo brawny arms enable a great rail
way system to pursue its business , nnd send
long trains daily far nway to the shores of
the Pacific.
The yards were instantly transformed into
n scene of bustling activity. The coal heav
ers , who hnd been unloading cars along the
tracks , shouldered their shovels and started
for homo ; doorn wore thrown open and a
throng of dust-bogrimmed humanity poured
forlh forth from the numerous workshops.
Stained and soiled from the day's labor
amidst smoke and grime , Iho mechanics em
ployed In the Union Pncitlc shops trudged
weariedly homeward.
They came from every nook and corner of
the yards , but nearly all wended their way
to the Cass street gate , where they make
their exit.
As they passed Iho reporter could nol but
note Ihe varying expressions of countcnanco.
The majority the men of middle ngo and
beyond seemed stolidly indifferent. T hey
hud the expression nbout them of men
whose highest ambition was to reach home.
They seemed to have continually with them
the feeling that nil thai is left is to labor
that it may bo repaid by food and slumber.
lu direct contrast to those were the happy ,
though sadly dirty , fuces of the younger
toilers. Conscious of a day's work behind
them , those youngsters were ns merry as
crickets , and as they shipped along found
amusements in playing pranks upon each
other. No thought hud they of Iho morrow's
toil ; no cloud of family cares , debt , pov
erty ami despair hanging over them ; they
were happy in the possession of their youth
and health nnd had few thoughts of the
future.
And still there was another class distmo- '
live from Iho others that passed through the
narrow red gate. Those were the dapper
clerks , hurrying to their comfortable homes
and lodgings nnd the dainty lady copyists ,
carefully picking their way amongst Ihe
cinders and dirt.
They all passed through the gate in an
hetereogeneous throng and hurried on into
the city.
A few went up Cnss street , but the ma
jority passed along up Eleventh towards
Farnam. As they hurried along moro than
four hundred strong , their bright dinner
pulls glistened In the fndingsunlight. Along
past the dllapitaled rows of wooden shocks
that line the thoroughfare , they went singly erin
in parties of twos or threes , until they
merged into the crowd on Farnam street.
The youngsters ( lirted with the pretty
girls , while the older ones forged nhea'd
silently.
At the same hour the crowds of clerks
from the Union Pacific and H. t M. head
quarters passed forth from Iho buildings in
which they are employed. There are fully
500 of these. Well dressed young men and
women they are for the most part , as neat
and fresh as when they left homo in Iho
morning. No dust , begrimes their spotless
linen or dainty complexion. In place of the
homely tin pail of their brethren of the
shops they carry ueally painted lunch boxes.
They do not hurry but walk slowly along ,
chatting merrily as they go a careless ,
happy crowd.
An hour later , when the sun has set and
Ihe air secmes colder and ovorytning moro
desolate , from the big smelting works
a crew greatly similar to the ono
that emerged an hour previously
from the shops , leave the bhuing
furnaces for their homes. As they como up
through the bottoms they pass Iho night men
hurrying on towards the works there to labor
unlil morning. These men from tlio smelt
ing works socm moro tired peruups
tl'an llioir neigbors of the railroad shops.
No boyish sporl enlivens Iheir way and Ihoy
talk with each other only in monosyllables.
Coming into Ninth street from under the
wagon bridge the majority go to the south-
wcsl while others turn towards the north ,
from the main entrance.
As all these pass by. ono cannot but won
der to whul manner of homo they go to. If
you should follow the majority you would
see them hasten along Farnam to Thirteenth
nnd down that thoroughfare to the railroad
trucks. This point reached there is a general -
oral scatter , some of the men going west
nlong the tracks , dropping off ono by one ,
nnd disappearing into the many little dwell
ings that snuggle under Iho high embank
ments.
These habitations are in nowise typical of
luxury , but for the most part they tire cosy
and tidy looking , nnd constitute a most ac
ceptable haven of rest to tno tired men be
hind whom the hospitable doors have Just
closed.
Insldo of an hour , from the blowing of the
whistle , this vast army of laborers , clerks ,
mechanics , weary after the day's work , is at
the frugal or luxurious board for its oven-
ing's meal. In many cases , the tolls of Iho
days are forgotten In the pleasures of family
life , beside grateful ilrc.iidos and in thai
realm whore iovn is king. Evening gradually
deepens into night nnd with the chungo
comes luxurious rest , but only to prepare the
weary head or arm for the dally grind which
Is ushered in with Iho early morn.
AMONG TIIK PITY CHUUCJIUS.
Anntlior Divine ( if Prominence Comcu
to Omnliu ,
Rev. Alexander It. Thnln , D. D , , Ihe gen
tleman Just arrived at Omaha to assume the
pastoral charge of Plymouth Congregational
church , Kounlzo place , while not a college
graduate , Is , notwithstanding , a pastor of
superior culture anil learning. Horn In
Scotland , but coming lo this country in his
early childhood days , he , like many another
settling in a now country , had as ho grow up
to turn his youthful energies lo helping se
cure that competency which brings the com
forts nnd privileges po pfton denied the homo
'
llfo in the old world. While thus employed ,
In behalf of his parents and the homo , ho
was to an extent , denied the benefits of a
complete collegiate course , which , without
doubt , was still further abiidged by his en
listment In the union army during the late
war , Hut most nobly tins ho rodcoincd the
opportunities of which hovns deprived ID
his youthful days by bis hard study and
regular hublts. Ho graduated with honor
from the theological course of the Chicago
theological seminary , nnd in turn for the
honor his inibHo and private life
has refletcod upon his alum mater ,
it bus conferred upon him the
highest tltlo within its power to bestow.
Soon after his graduation , ho was culled to
the puhloruto of the Congregational church
of Dundee , 111. After remaining there nbout
six years it reluctantly dissolved their roln-
Liouhlilp thut ho might accept the charge of
Iho First church of Christ , in Galesburg ,
which now , us ho loaves it , follows him with
longing hearts , and prayers , and benedic
tions to his now Held of labor hero. For
twelve years he faithfully held the historic

tion in Illinois is moro widespread and far-
reaching in Its influence throuub the multi
tude of home nnd foreign missionaries ami
active Christian laymen It has sent out
through the length mul breadth of tuts land
and to many foreign lunds.
It has been the lot of Dr. Thnin to be the
spiritual guide and teacher of hundreds of
students attending KIION college , nnd while
generally beloved and respected , to no class
has he moro endeared himself than to the
young people of his recent charge. An ex
pression of the general esteem In which he
is held , was the immense congregation which
asscmblvd last Sunday to hear his farewell
discourse. Rev. Mr. Thaln preaches In his
ne v pulpit to-day.

At the First United Presbyterian church
Thursday night the Ladies' Missionary bo-
cicty gave its annual bazaar mid supper.
There were nbout ono hundred and fifty ut-
tondanls. The bazaar and art gallery were
quite unique and amusing. Miss Hattie
Hoyden , of Washington city , recited
"Pyamus nnd Tlnsby" to a delighted and
pleased audience. The recitation was one of
the features of the entertainment. The pro
ceeds of the evening went to the church.
In discussing the question of the general
prayer meeting the Midlnnd.the organ of the
United Presbyterian church , states thai thn
proposition is meeting with great approval.
It believes that the pastors nnd Christians of
Omaha will endorse the scheme to maiio the
place of meeting in Ibis cily. They will ex-
lend a cheerful welcome lo all religious people
ple of the west , nnd will do everything to
make the meeting pleasant and profitable.
The Midland suggests March 12 or I'.i for the

A dog "llilof" Is ono of the latest Parisian
queer things mid curiosities , snys the London
Telegraph : l.nst week n big Newfoundland
dog \vent Into n Inrce shop or store near the
bastilo , nnd after having "prospected iirouml"
for some time , selected n buiulleof shooting
Jackets , seied them between bis tnetli nnd
inadmuT with them. The IMP nnd cry was
raised , mul the spectacle presented by the
limit was of the most animated character.
Half the start of the store accompanied by u
hundred or so of small boys mid several
policemen , pursued the canine purlolnor
until ho was brought tr > b.iy. The bundle
was duly recovered and the dog was inarched
oft to tiie police station , preparatory to tils
removal to nnd prob. bly t'cnnanent tixtnro
in the "pound. " As several tradesmen hnd
complained Hint the dog Imd nlready been
around tnclr wny for predatory purposes the
conclusion wss arrived nt that tno animal
must luivo been trained for thievery by some
of the "Fagins" of the Faubourg St.
Antoltio.
A wntchman nt one of the docks , a few
nlRhts upo. heard n senflllng noise under the
boards at the end of the pier , says the Now
York Times , nnd holding his lantern over
the string piece ho bent his body cautiously
forward , mm saw an ccl trying to lower itself
into the water , but badiy handicapped In Its
cITorts by a rat Unit was hanging to Its tail.
The col attur the manner of its kind , hud
crawled from tlio water In the night to
search for food and had found n rat. The
rat , too , wan look hip for n meal , nnd was
glad to meet with the eel : but when each
discovered Hint its Intended supper wanted
to eat it , n tierce encounter ensuoil. Judging
from the appearance of the combatants when
the watchman saw thorn , the rat was getting
tlio best of the contest , and though somewhat -
what lacerated was lighting with unbounded
ccmlldcnco of assured success , while the uol
was evidently running nwav. The light of
the lantern startled the rat , nnd opening his
Jaws ho allowed the eel to escape into the
water , while ho went sulkily back into the
darkness.
The llouicr ( Ulaho ) Index says it 1ms been
universally believed that no creature of any
kind exists in the waters of Mono lake , but
.ludgo Mntlly explodes this notion. Lust
Sunday no saw n strange creature Hopping
about in the shallow water near the shore.
The thing boomed to open uml shut like a spy
glass ; ut its longest it wits about six feet in
length nnd two feet in diameter. It re
sembled an enormous leech more than any
thing else , and apparently propelled itself by
drawing'in air and forcing It out behind.
When inflated it was egg-slmpcd and sat
upon the water like a bell-buoy. No ( Uppers
or llns of any description were visible , nor
anything that resembled a mouth. The
ori'llces through which it evidently inhaled
nir could not bo seen. The Judge described
It ns n disgusting mass of green pulp.
A startling encounter yesterday between
two alligators mid a boar , in thoApokn
Mountain , is reported to-day by n returning
party of hunters , says n Tavens ( Fla. )
special to the Chicago Tribune. The boar
was sighted Just before ho stopped nt a
small luko. The hunters were quietly slipping -
ping up on their gntno when bruin suddenly
uttered a fierce howl and began executing
the most unaccountable nntics. The hunters
soon discovered that the bear was ( Irmly
hold in tlio powerful Jaws of a huge alligator
nnd was unable to extricate himself. The
hear giew wild with fury and kept up the
strucrglo for half an hour , the hunters being
interested spectators of frnj ; . Another alli
gator then appeared on the scene. Giving
his tail a long sweep , ho dealt the bear a
fearful blow , knocking him almost uncon
scious. Then turning about ho caught his
head between his Jaws and crushed it to n
shapeless mass. At this juncture the hunters
descended upon their game. The second
alligator slid oft into the water and disap
peared. The llrst one was bhot and cap
tured.

Messrs. William Hall , Kenney Nichols.nnd
Wilmot Kcnney captured a buzzard near
Paris , K.V. , wnich wore n small orass boll o
which were engraved the words , "Atlanta ,
Ga. , April 31 , 1803. " A day or two later an
other was captured by S. H. Hoyd , of Scott
county , wearing n bell on which was dimly
inscribed , "M. 1C. While. Onrrcttsburg , Ky. ,
1S42. " Last week Kev. tioorgo Osborno , of
Clark county , .saw a buzzard Hying over his
farm with a boll Jingling loils neck , and al
most simultaneously witn Mr. Osborne , Mr.
W. W. N. Anderson saw ono Hying over his
farm in Montgomery county with a bell also
on its neck.
Mr. Yoeumb.a farmer living in this county ,
says u Vincennos , I ml. , special , hai n bay
marc that has developed a str.mgo propen
sity. She has learned to hunt 'coons. She
can scent n 'coon as well us the best trained
dog. She will follow the 'coons by scent ,
alone , and when she "trees" ono will neigh
and paw around the trco until Mr. Yoounib
comes to capture it. She never leaves tlio
tree until she has nttractod the attention of
her master. Mr. Yocumb frequently goes
hunting on horseback , taking a gun and at.
The muro will go through tlu woods until
she strikes a scent , and will then start on a
dog-trot , with her nose to the ground , ami
will trail the 'coon by her unerring scent to
its den. She will then bo in to p.iw and
neigh until the tree has been cut down and
tho'prizo captured. She will go through the
woods and atop and .smell tlio trunk of a tree.
If she does not scent a 'coon she goes onbut
if there is one In the trco she never fails to
discover the fact and to make it known.
In nup-town residence of somu fashionable
pretensions , says the Philadelphia Koeord ,
there is a little dog who Ls of such nn
( esthetic turn of mind that he has become
infatuated with the ( lowers in the design of
the parlor carpet , and he Is now a mono
maniac on Uml point. The little follow Is a
very pretty Skye terrier , mid was introduced
Into the hoiibuhotd about thrco months ngo
as an animated plaything for the little
daughter of the family. Whim ho was llrst
allowed to frequent the parlor ho Immed
iately took a fancy to tno lloworn on the
cnn > ut , and dually settled upon one winch
suited his taste to n "I. " The more ho saw
of it the greater became his fascination ,
until finally ho could nut bo nttr.ictod from
it. A few days ngo thu idea of presuming
the dog with u real rose which wai the
( lower Unit uppcarud In the design nf thu
carpet occurred to the head of the house ,
and ho luolc a few of them homo ono even-
Ing. The little lemur looked at them in n
curious way at ( Intl. and then at the ( lower
on ttio carpet , mid litmlly made a dush tit the
reul ( lowers and toru thorn into shmls , after
which he riitnrnud to the unreal article. . Atone
ono time during the connm of his lovc-mnic-
mg , when It was found thut ho would du
st roy that portion of the carpet with which
ho was infatuated , ho was taken away and
locked in u room for two days , but hu refused
to tnko the most tempting food and seemed
to bo Dining awuy until ho was again allowed
in the parlor. Ho is there now , and is likely
to remain until his death or tlio curt ) fif hit !
ailment.
