A Mas™™ paper prints it as
follows: If a man spends 5 cents a day,
sis days a week for 52 weeks, for tobacco,
drinks 237| quarts of poor beer, goes to
the New England fair on horse-trot day,
and refuses to subscribe to his home
paper, how big a mortgage has he got
on hie farm?
A whiter in the Atlantic, speaking of
the maliciousness of the mocking bird,
states that if young birds are placed in
cages where the parent birds can have
access to them, they will feed their off¬
spring regularly for two or three days,
and then, as if in despair, will poison
them, giving them the berry of the
black ash.
A Custom House Inspector, while
roaming over a steamer at New York on
Monday, observed a peculiar hump on
the back of one of the sailors. He made
a diagnosis of the hump, and found that
it was formed by forty dozen pairs of
spectacles, worth about $1.50 a pair.
The duty on imported spectacles is 35
per cent. The goods were seized.
A Northern contractor grading a rail¬
road in the South had considerable
trouble with his negro laborers and com¬
plained to a friend of their slowness.
“Discharge the leader of the gang,” said
the latter, “and get a man who can sing
lively songs. ” It was done and the de¬
sign had the desired effect, the negroes’
picks and shovels moving obediently to
the melody.
In Buncombe county, N. C., the house
of a colored woman named Alice Wilson
caught on lire and her three small chil
dreu were burned to death before they
could be rescued. It is said that over
one hundred oolored^ildren have been
burned to death in this manner in North
Carolina since October last Mothers

houses and go away.
The exploring expedition which sets
out from San Francisco for Alaska as
.noon as spring opens will be composed
entirely of officers and enlisted men of
the navy, A suitable stern-wheel launch
is to be built, under contract, for the use
of the expedition. Many of the articles
of outfit, especially canned goods, will
be taken from the supplies turned in
from the Greely relief expedition.
The officers of the torpedo station at
Newport, R. L, experimented with some
torpedoes on the ice. The water and
ice arose in a vertical column some 200
feet. The holes blown iu the ice clear
about thirty-five or forty feet across, and
it was shattered for some distance be
yond that. These torpedoes were said
to be charged with about thirty-four
pounds of gun cotton each, which is es¬
timated to possess a force equal to 200
pounds of gunpowder.
In a suburb of Boston an amateur
dramatic society was recently rehearsing
a play under the supervision of a Boston
actor, who, in the course of the re¬
hearsal, severely reprimanded one of the
young ladies for inattention; whereupon
the injured young woman burst into
tears and told him lie was no gentleman
to address a lady so. “Shut up,” said
the irate manager, “you’re not a lady
now, you're an actress,” and the play
went on uninterrupted to the end of the
rehearsal.
REST BEYO>r>.
Far away, beyond life’s restless fever,
There is peace and rest;
And the sun shines on undimmed forever,
In that home so blest.
Al) the hopes that here are chilled and blighted,
Find fiuition there;
With the loved of other years united,
We are done with care.
