A cow on a. model farm, near Chilli- cothe, 0., gives black milk. It produces a fair amount of cream, which is a trifle lighter in color. and which. when churn- ed, makes butter resembling coal tar, but as palatable as though of golden yellow. A conductor found a spaniel dog in a passenger coach of the Georgia Pacific road. and drove the canine out. Forty miles distant a trainman discovered the dog perched upon the trucks under the car. He could hardly be driven from his perch. He was a vertiable canine tramp. - .. , 1 ,' 7‘ -..__,- The elephant is a nocturnal animal, but in captivity is forced to work during the daytime, and so, in India, suffers greatly, the immens» size and weight. and dark color causing the animal to be- come overheated. To relieve itself it draws from its stomach a quantity of water and sends it in a shower of spray over his body about every five minutes. Cuvier relates the story of a wolf which was brought up as a young dog, became familiar with the persons he was in the habit of seeing, and in par- ticular followed his master eve13 where, evinoing chagrin at his absence, obeying his voice and, sho wing :1 degree of sub- mission scaicely diflering in any lespect from that of a. thoroughly domesticated dog. “-5, Out at the Folsom Prison, Oregon, there isa horse that has developed a singular characteristic, which consists in an earnest desire to eat all the red and green peppers he can get hold of. The animal behaves just like any other horse, except in the particular matter above mentioned. He is a good worker and tame and manageable. How he ac- quired the love for peppers is a matter of conjecture. There is in Memphis an old squirrel, withahandsome tail, who is a great traveler. He is rarely seen on the ground, preferring to run along the electric light wires, telephone cables and guys. Anything that is as large as a. lead pencil is a good enough right of way for him. He gets his dinner at Fransioli’s Hotel, on the corner of Union and Second streets, three blocks from the square, and may be seen any fair evening about 6 o’clock wending his way along the wire to or from that hos- telry. _ - .c . . .‘ .y 1 Coming down the street the other day on the front platform of a surface car, I noticed the driver looking another way as we approached a switch. The switch was turned the wrong way, and the old white horse on the near side shoved his fellow outside the tracks upon the table, skilfully avoiding the inside plate him- self by a. half hop, skip and jump, and we went around the corner all right and flying. _ u I A,,__A___ Camels can travel only over a country where there are no stones, for the pads of their feet wear out and then they have to be patched, a most troublesome operation. The camel is thrown and a piece of leather stitched on over the foot, the stitches being taken through the soft part of it. In this condition it may travel till the skin has thickened again ; or, what is more likely, until it refuses to take a step. Connecticut has a horse that All the horses now on the turf or at the stud in England trace their ancestry in the direct male line to one or the other of three stallions, viz., the Byerly Turk, of whom nothing is known except that he was the charger of a Captain Byerly in 1680 ; the Darley Arabian, a genuine Arab, imported from Aleppo about the end of the reign of William III.; and the Godolphin Arabian, or Barb, brought to England about twenty-five years later. It is said to be impossible to find an Eng- lish thoroughbred that, through males or females, does not combine the blood of all these three progenitors. Senator Cameron’s Scotch collie, Major, seems to know the diflerence between the callers who get in and those who don’t, and draws the line on the latter. The regulars, who come often, are re- ceived with great consideration by Major, who, as soon as he spies them at the vestibule door, jumps up and wags a tail of welcome and moves out of the way. Those who come and seldom get in are received by Major coldly. He keeps his place on the mat, apparently asleep, which makes it inconvenient to reach the bell pull without stepping upon the knowing animal. When the un- welcome callers try to make their way within the door he whines a doleful strain, and often stands up on the mat land. (apes and stretches.

The immense crowds at- tending the ceremonies showed very clearly that Ireland has not forgotten the services of Parnell. The procession of mourners far exceeded in number and impressiveness that of last year. The parade, which took one hour and a half to pass a given point, was headed by a. :black-draped wagonet piled high with memorial wreaths from different parts of the country and from the United States, Canada and Australia. The independent Irish party 0: New York sent a handsome floral harp. The mayors and corporations of Dublin and Cork attended the ceremorlies in state regalia. The streets along the route to the cemetery were packed with people and the neighborhood of Glnsnevin was crowded to the utmost.

If the French Government are really desirous of ridding themselves of their criminal population, it seems as though they will have to find a more suitable place for transportation than Cayenne. The number of escapes from this penal settlement has attained alarming pro- portions. So confident are the old hands of their ability to make good their escape that some of them openly say so, and defy the police when they are recaptur- ed for some fresh offence. A waiter named Capy, who has just been arrested for robbing his master, the proprietor of the Cafe de l’Ecole Centrale. in the Rue de Turbigo, in Paris, boldly avowed on being arrested that he was an escaped jailbird (“cheval de retour evade") “You may send me back to Cayenne,” he declared, “but I shall soon be with you again, now I know my way about.” From a narrative of his experi- ences which this engaging person also volunteered, it would seem, however, that there is some risk in running away from Cayenne. although so many suc- ceed in the attempt. He had, he said, to traverse two forests, each of which was a fortnight‘s march in length. and during a whole month he risked being devoured by wild beasts or either killed or returned to the French police by sav- ages, Reaching the coast Capy em- barked for Hayti on an English vessel, and from Hayti he returned to France. This he was enabled to do with the sav- ings he had made out of his earnings as a convict. The last time he was sent out it was for robbery and attempted â€"W.
