The question is easy to ask, I But answer it fully, iny dear, Were rather a difficult task ; And yet in a bantering way, ' As the whippoorwill sings in the glade < I'll venture a bit of a lay . , To tell how a paper is made. An editor sits at a desk, ( And ponders the things that appear t To l>e claiming the thoughts of the world? Things solemn, and comic, and queer? 1 And when he has hit on a theme 5 Hejudges it well to parade, " He writes, and ho writes and he writes, ' And that's how a paper is made. ? An editor sits at his desk, And puzzles his brain to make out 1 "Telegraphic" so squabbled and mixed, \ It is hard to tell what it's about. j Exchanges are lying around? While waitinir disnatclies delaved. Ho clips, and he clips, and he clips, And that's how a paper is made. An editor out in the town, In search of things that are new? The things that the people have done, The things they're intending to dodoes peering and prying about, For it's of many a grade ; Ho tramps, and he tramps, and ho tramps, And that's how a paper is made. And all that these workers prepare, Of every conceivable stripe, Is sent to the printer, and he Proceedeth to stick in type, His lines, all, all respecting his will, In slow moving columns paradeHe sticks and he sticks and lie sticks, And that's how a paper is made. In short, when the type is all set, And errors cleared up, more or less, 'Tis "locked in a form," as we say, And hurried away to the press." The pressman arrauges his sheets, His ink gives the requisite shade, Then he prints and he prints and he prints, And that's how a paper is made. ^tumorous grpatttttfnt.

Women in general is my weakness and espeshually a woman whose name is Soosan. ( I always envied a man who could fondle over his wife or his sweetheart and call her "Soosy." f It sounds so raellerand soft. So when I seed Soosan Autny arraind up before the judge N like a kouvict I was mad?mad with the whole c Yankyuashun. They raise a hellybilloo over | the old broken konstitution, and mend it up . so as to let the black babboons vote in the 1 rebel States, but if a white woman of sense and spunk dares to do it, it shocks their pewritan modesty. The old judge tried to look fierce, and said a woman shouldent undersex , herself." I have seen a heap of men who, when they got sorter old, took up a sour-grape . spite against good-lookin women. But Soosan f looked at the judge as strait as an egul. She stood up square oh her paster joints, and re- ? marked that she was free-born and nativ-born and had property of her own, and had a right to vote for the law-makers of her choice. She said that women done as much for the country as the men, and, if they dident fight in a bat- T tie, they raised the boys that did. That havin them and nursin em and tendin to era in sickness and in helth was a harder job than fitin, and if the men dident believe it jest let em try it awhile. She sed if the judge could name 8 one good reesun why they shouldent vote, she wanted to know it. Soosan's eyes flashed a g little angelic fire when the judge fiued her a hundred dollars, and she remarked that every / advance in sivilization had to have its mar- ^ tyrs, and she was reddy. She throwd a hundred dollar bill over to the clerk, and sed she ^ would bet another hundred that that money never reached the State treasury. She dident ^ mind that old judge no more than if he was a inonky. She told him that if they would base ^ the votiu bisness on morality, or property or ^ intelligence, or all three put together, the ^ women would be satisfide; but they based it ? on weariu britches, and driukin whisky, and /.!,??vi-iii tnKo L* l-or nn/llroonin nnc ivifti fit. VininP ! and another sum where else. She declared ^ that she had as much rite to choose her politikul masters as the Southern niggers or the hethen Chinee. That if the women could vote there wouldcut be a drunkard, nor a ^ thief, nor a fool on the bench, nor in any other ^ ofiis, and whisky would be harder to get than nrseuik. An old, red nosed, swell faced man g winked one eye at her and hikkuped "the h? j he?hell you say." Wheu the court adjourned the crowd cheered Soosey, and one man sed he'd pay the tine ; another sed he'd see her a p fair fite with the judge; another said the law S( didentsay whether the britches must be worn outside or inside, and another sed he'd rather b risk the women to vote than thousands of them p drunken furriners and fools who elected John g Morrissey. i d Now Ive been thinking a heap about this j s voting bisiness myself and my opinyuu ar p that Gov.

Bill Aril Cross Questioning.?It is said that Tom Corwin, as he is familiarly called, was once ryiug a case in which he was opposed to the ate Wm. Wirt, when the latter tried a somevhat novel mode of discrediting the evidence >f Mr. Corwin's chief witness, on whose accuracy and discrimination everything turned, >y showing that he was a person of astonishng credulity. Wirt.?"Haveyou read 'JRoinsonCrusoe?'" Witness.?"Yes." Wirt.?Do you believe it all ?" Witness.?"Well, yes, squire, I don't know >ut what I do." The same answer was returned as to "Guliver's Travels," and several other works of iction, Corwin all the while fidgeting aud ;etting hot. Presently, Mr. Wirt, considering he man entirely flattened out, resigned him nth a bland smile. Mr Corwin said he had only one question o ask, and put it: Mr Corwin.?"Have you read 'Wirt's ;ife of Patrick Henry ?' " Witness.?"Yes." Corwin.?"Do you believe it all ?" Witness.?"Why, no, squire, I can't quite o that." ? A Little Story on Grant.?In our crap-book we find the following little story n Grant. It was clipped from the Roanoke Va.) Times: "A good story is told by one of the Methdtst ministers now in this place attending Conference. We do not recollect of ever 3eing it in print, and we think it too good to e lost. It is as follows: During the war a "Confed" was captured y the Yankees, and happened to be taken ) General Grant's headquarters. After ' ? .1 ^ 1 il. - -U eing questioned oy tne vjrenenu me uiu Confed" asked hira where he was going. "I am going," says Grant "to Richmond, ) Petersburg to Heaven, and, it may be, I 'ill go to hell." After veiwing the General for several moients, the old "Confed" said : "Gen. Grant, you can't go to Richmond, )r Gen. Lee is there ; you can't go to Petersurg, for Gen. Beauregard is there; you can't 0 to heaven, for Stonewall Jackson is there; ut as to going to hell, you may get there, for know of no Confederates in that region." + ? Metempsychosis.?The gifted Sargent S. 'rentiss once gave a sumptuous dinner to Drue friends at a hotel in Vicksburg. Early 1 the evening a stranger entered the room y mistake. Prentiss courteously invited him 3 join the party. Before loug the strange uest began boasting of how much he had rank during the day?a cocktail here, a masher there, a julep in this place, a sling a that, and so on, apparently without end. Lt length Prentiss interrupted hira. "Sir," said he, "do you believe in the docriue of metempsychosis ?" "I don't know," was the reply, "and I don't ee that it has anything to do with what we fere talking about." "It has," replied Prentiss, "much?much very way. I have firm faith in that doctrine, beleive that in the next life every man will ie transformed into the thiug for which he las best qualified himself in this. In that life, ir, you will become a corner groggery." ? Plain Talking.?A village parson havng, in his comprehension of his auditors, bund it necessary to make some apology, ie did it as follows: "Respected friends: Jy oral documents having recently been the ubject of your vituperation, I hope it will lot be an instance of vain eloquence of superirogation, if I laconically promulgate that ivoiding all syllogistical, aristocratical and >eripatetical propositions, all hyperbolical sxaggerationsand extenuations, whether pliyscally, philosophically, philologically, politically or polemically consdered, either in my liurnal peregrinations or nocturnal lucubraions, they shall be definitely and categoricaly assimilated with, and rendered congenial to, ;he occiputs, caputas and cerebrums of you, ny most superlatively respectable auditory." A speaker at a juvenile picnic is said to lave delivered an address, of which the fol owing is a sample: "You ought to be very dnd to your sisters. I once knew a bad boy who struck his sister a blow over the eye. Although she didn't fade aud die in the summer time, when the June roses were blooming, with sweet words of kindness on her pallid lips, she rose up and hit him over the head with the rolling-pin, so that he couldn't go to school for over a month, on account of not being able to put on his hat." ?2?"

"Yes," was the reply, "If the fellow don't run fast, I'm afraid the cut will be well before he gets back." + SSaT One of the late boys, while reading a chapter of Genesis, paused to ask his mother whether the boys in the olden time used to do their sums 011 the ground. It was discovered that he had been reading the passage, 'And the sons of men multiplied upon the face of the earth."

The celebrated Dugal Stewart said that if there was any such thing as genius, it consisted in being able to set the mind upon a subject and kfep it there until it was fully mastered. The success of most men is due more to constant and untiring effort than to superior mental endowments. On the other hand, the failure of most men may be traced to a want of persevering effort. Dr. Rush, one of the most celebrated physicians of his I day, graduated in medicine with great difficulty after several rejections. One of the most eminent lawyers that ever was in the State of South Carolina sat, it is said, in his office for ten years before he got a single case. During all this period he pored over his law books as industriously as if he had been preparing for a pending case. Dr. Adam Clark, one of the most learned men of his day, was thought, when a boy, to be dull. It is saitl that Goodyear, the celebrated India-rubber man, spent all'lie possessed in making experiments. Ho even sold his wife's dresses to raise money. He kept trying amid all his discouragements, and at last, almost by accident, succeeded and made au immense fortune. The correct principle is, first take deliberate counsel, and then act promptly, energetically and perseveringly. PERSEVERANCE. "I will do this sum and get the right answer before I go to bed this night," said Ned Walker as he took up his slate with a determined air. "No boy in our class shall get ahead of me in arithmetic. I have made up my mind to that." The room was very cold, for the Walkers were not a rich family, aud never thought of warming the whole house in winter. If the kitchen fire aud the fire in the sitting-room were kept up, it was all that was aimed at. The room was cold, but Ned did not mind that. He was a hearty, healthy boy with warm young blood in his veins. He put on his hat and great coat, and sat down to his task with good courage. He threw his whole niind into his work, for he had but one small candle end to depend upon for light, and he well knew it would not last long. The first time the sum was all wrong.' What did Ned do? Did he sit down and cry, and say it was no use to try to get the right answer, for the sum was too hard /or him ? Not he. How his eyes would flash if any one should suggest such a thing to him ! No, he thought a moment, read over his rule with care, dashed the sponge over his slate aud set to work again. This time he got the right auswer. It was well that he did, for by this time the candle had burned itself out. Ned laid down his slate and scrambled into bed in the dark. But he did not mind the darkness, for his heart was light. He had done his work well, and he knew it. He was a happy aud triumphant boy. This was the way with Ned Walker through all his school life. He never was afraid of a hard task, but just took hold of it with a will and conquered it. You have no idea what this habit did for him in the end. Ned was not the brightest boy in the school by any means. There was George Wilson, who was so quick at his lessons that he seldom had to do more than to read them over once or twice. And there were many others who could learn more quickly than Ned. Yet Ned always stood at the head of his class. He made up his mind that he would, and he did. Let what would come in the way of hard study, he never gave up. While the other boys pouted aud complained, Ned worked. While George Wilson was idle and careless, thinking that he could soon make up for lost time, Ned worked. And the time came when he was so far ahead in his studies that George could not keep up with him at all, for it is the steady strokes that tell most in the end. When Ned left school, he not only had a good education in his various studies, but he had a habit of not giving up. A great habit that is for a boy who has to make his own way in the world, and has to meet with many hard things. But there came a time of trial to Ned even in the midst of his success. He felt that he was a sinner in the sight of God. He knew that he had never given his heart to the Saviour, and that if he should die he could not even hoDe to co to heaven. He made up his mind that he would try to be a Christian. But he did not seem to grow any better, in spite of all his trying. For the first time in his life he felt discouraged. But his good habit, under the movings of God's Spirit, proved valuable even here, for he could not give up and stop trying. "I know I ought to be a Christian," he said. "I never can be a good man unless I am, and I really do want to be a good man. Then I can never go to heaven unless I am ; and if I do not go to heaven where shall I go when I die?" "Oh! do not think about dying just yet, Ned," said a gay young fellow who heard him say this. "You are young and strong and well. Do not bother your head about religion. Give up all this nonsense, and come to my room to-night. We will have a good time and forget all this." "No," said Ned. "I must and will be a Christian. I know it is the best thing for me. As to the rest, what good would all the money in the world do to a lost soul ?" "And you will not give the thing up, then?" said his friend. "No, never," said Ned. "To-night I shall go to our weekly meeting." Ned went, and it was well that he did go, for the minister spoke to him so kindly that the -young man was led to tell him all his troubles. "My dear young friend," said the minister, "you are right to try to be a Christian, but j you have tried in the wrong way. Suppose,! now, you begin again, and instead of trying to be good without going to Jesus, go to him, I and ask him to be your Saviour. If you are once really his, willing to be saved by him, you are a Christian without any more trying." "Is that all ?" said Ned. "I thought I must be very good before Jesus would have me." "No ; Jesus Christ came to save sinners," said the minister. "He has promised to save 'whosoever will' come to him, and his promise can never fail." "But must I try to be good and to live a holy life ?" said Ned. "Yes, because Christ commands you to do it, and you are bound to obey him in all things if you are his servant." "I begin to see how it is," said Ned, "Jesus saves me just as I am, then he expects me to do just what he tells me to do; and if I try to do that, he will help me." - Ka luill onnrl KJa TTa! \r ftnirif fn VlP 1 US ) IIU mil OgilVI Alio AAVtJ VV WW i with you-always and to fit you for heaven," i said the minister.

At one of the stations an old man entered and was looking around for a seat, wheu a boy ten or twelve 1 years of age rose up and said, "Take my seat, ' sir." The offer was accepted, and the infirm old man sat down. "Why did you give me your seat?" he inquired of the boy. "Because you are old, sir, and I am a boy!" was the reply.

ROBERT LATHAN. p I Original.] .] THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST. h Everything connected with the history of 8j I Jesus Christ is mysterious. "Great," says h | the Apostle Paul, "is the mystery of godli- si ness; God was manifest in the flesh." One 1 of the most important, if not the most impor- | e | tant, characteristics of our Saviour, is that he j I Atof UIo /liulniftr orn 1 was uiviut;. jluc jjruuia ui mo ^ almost infinite. The Bible is full of it. The Saviour of sinners, from Genesis to Revela- e tion, is characterized as God. All the prophe- fi cies contained in the Old Testament relative to the promised Messiah, predict that he would be divine. When Jesus Christ came into the ^ world, the announcement was made from S| heaven by the Father: "This is my beloved si | sou." It is true that sometimes mere crea- h tures are in the Scriptures called sons of God ; but never in the sense that Christ is called l' the son of God. Creatures are said to be the sons of God, because he created them; but j] Christ is called the son of God because he is o of the same nature of God, and possessed of si the same attributes, and entitled to the same homage and adoration with the Father. Men ? and angels are commanded to worship him. gj j This shows clearly that Christ is divine ; for, ^ I constantly, God, in bis word, forbids the | worship of any created being. si Christ claimed, whilst he remained visible r upon this earth, to be God, and this was one r of the reasons that the Jews were so bitter in P their opposition to him. .Not only did he ^ claim to be God, but he proved by his works p that he is the living and true God. He ask- a ed his hearers to believe him on account of t< his works. These works were of a kind and n character that no mere creature could .per- v form. By him water was instantly turned ^ into wine; a barren fig tree was, by his simple tj command, caused to wither and die. He t< showed that he had complete control over the si laws of the universe. By him the winds of tl heaven were calmed, and the waves of the t( sea lulled to rest. Diseases which no medical I l i ii ?.._ i._ i J:__ skiu couia aneviace, were, uy mm, cureu map moment. The lame were made to walk, the fi blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to n speak, and the dead were raised, and life in- P fused into stinking corpses. The miracles performed by Christ prove most conclusively q that the Saviour of sinners is God the omnipotent Jehovah. e; The divinity of Christ may be proven from P still another source. "Never man spake as ? he did," is the testimony of those who heard him. No man ever gave utterance to- such y precepts as are contained in the New Testa- tl ment. Like the miracles, they show that q their author is a divine person. No amount ? of human learning and experience will ena- ^ ble any man to enunciate such moral pre- a cepts as were uttered by Christ. The divini- r( ty of Christ is the centre around which re- b volves all the doctrines of Christianity. It is se that which gives strength and beauty to the &J system. The Saviour of siunera is the creator 11 and upholder of all things. This is the rock a! upon which the believer builds a superstruc- ^ ture which neither winds nor waves can over- b turn. . c! e. I Original.] THE TRINITY. ai There are some truths that reason, unassist- ^ ed by revelation, cannot discover. Such ^ truths are said to be above reason. To this ^ class of truths belong the doctrine of the h: Trinity. A plain statement of this doctrine bi may be made by saying, that there are in the God-head three persons, and that these three ^ persons are one God, the same in substance, ^ equal in power and glory. The human mind t} is neither able to discover this, nor is it able h; to fully understand it when the revelation is tl made. By no process of reasoning can it be explained how one can be three, nor how ^ .1 i? T>l: ?u 1.. tnree cuu uu une, xma ia uui tuc uuiy uum which is, in some respects, incomprehensible jr and yet not repugnant to reason. We do S( not fully understand how the blood circu- sj lates in our veins; neither do we understand w how it is that we see with our eyes, hear with *? our ears and taste with our tongues and pal- ?j ates. These things are not great mysteries, ^ like the doctrine of the trinity, still they are b mysterious. n For all the knowledge we have of the doc- h trine of the trinity we are indebted to the ^ Bible. That the doctrine is revealed in the ? Bible no one who has attentively read the ^ Scriptures can doubt. It is revealed both in ti the Old Testament and in the New. In the tl first verse in the Bible it is said : "In the be- g ginning God created," &c. Literally trans- n lated, it would read, "In the beginning Gods ^ created," &c. In other words, the name of jj the divinity is in the plural number. This n by itself would not amount to much, but when tl taken in connection with what is said about ^ the creation in the first chapter of the gospel * by John, it beyond doubt denotes a plurality ^ of persons in the God-head. The titles given tj to these three persons are Father, Sou and Holy Ghost, or Spirit. When the work of creation had so far progressed that the peri- " od for bringing the human race into exist- r ence, this remarkable sentence occurs: "Let P us make man." One of the persons of the ^ trinity, the Father, no doubt, addressed the f( other two. The language indicates the calling of an assembly for consultation. No h mere creature could give advice in so import- ? j ant an undertaking, and had any creature | given counsel, then it could uot be said that ? i God made all things according to the coun- p : sel of his own mind. In various portions b i of the Old Testament we find texts which p | cannot be otherwise interpreted than as teach- C I ing the plurality of persons in the God-head ; j but the teachings of the New Testament are ? | clear and positive. The baptismal formula ^ | and the apostolic benediction are clear. In p every laud the form of words is the same, y i The individual who is baptized has the words a | Father, Son and Holy Ghost pronounced c j over him. When Jesus was baptized in the n j river Jordan, the Father declared in an audij ble voice: "This is my beloved Son in whom j< I am well pleased ; and the Holy Ghost de- d I scended in a bodily shape like a dove upon tl him." Luke 3: 21. When a congregation ; of Christians is dismissed, the officiating miu- P | ister says: "The grace of the Lord Jesus t : Christ, and the love of God, and the commu-' j, uion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. j f ; Amen." These words most plainly announce : a ; a plurality of persons in the God-head, or a o l trinity. The grace of Christ, the love of God j J the Father and the communion of the Spirit, j are invoked. This sentence is a part of the n Scriptures. It is found in 2 Cor. 13: 14. a j What I Know.?I know that He was! manifested to take away my sins. j s; j I know I am redeemed with the precious h blood of Christ. j h I know that my Redeemer liveth. j n I know that I have passed from death unto p life. j t! !

The cellar foundation was al-' eady laid, and at precisely 6 o'clock Friday lnrninnr the moil were fit, work. The Kxain- ! ler thus describes- the labor: Mr T. J. Reading, photographer, was presnt with his apparatus, and took views every f'teen minutes ofthe building and the workleu while in motion, which, of course, prouced some ridiculous pictures?meu, white nd colored, in almost every position, are to e seen represented. At 8 o'clock A. M. the tructure was advanced to the height of one tory, with two Hoors?ground and second? lid, partitions in, and lathed and partly plassred, doors hung, stairways up, and a view iken with the Doctor in the midst of his 'orkmen. The scene is a busy and comic ne?the bricklayers erecting scaffolding for lie second story. At 10 o'clock, view taken f the western front on Prince street; second tory brickwork two-thirds up, with carpenirs ready to lay the floor, and plasterers comlenced lathing; western front painted and rick penciled of first story, and masons run hort of brick, and then some delay in conseuence, but it was remedied in a short time. At 11 o'clock the bricklayers are up to :juare of ceiliug for third floor, with corners aised to the height required to receive the afters.for roofing. Tinners waiting. The rocess of white-coating is now about com pie sd in the first story. At 11.18 first rafter jr the roof laid. At 12.21 the last brick was laced upon the chimney, and the bricklayers re done. Roof sheathed and tinners begin 3 lay roofing. At 12.50, scaffolding all reloved from building. At 2.30, sash in the windows of first story, and painters finished p; wash-boards down aud rubbish cleared way. At this writing the tinners are leaving lie building; roofing and spouting coraplejd. Plasterers still at work in the second tory. The building has been insured, and in lie course of a few hours will be ready for a jnant. 4.^.4 Packing for Moving.?The first princile in packing is to have the articles so firmly xed that no amount of jostling or jaring can love them ; and the manner in which the acking material is crowded in, so that it will eep the whole box firm is of much more consqueuce than the quality and quantity of it. Jlass and china-ware should be wrapped up 1 soft paper or newspapers ; the bottom of ach box thickly covered with hay. Then ut in the dishes, the heaviest at the bottom, nd so placed as to not to touch each other, ut not over half an inch apart. Wrap each late and saucer in paper, and put in piles, tuff in the hay with a small stick between le dishes; make it as firm as a rock. A beduilt, or some blankets can be tightly crowded 1 upon the top, after laying hay all over the ishes. Packed in this way the most fragile rticles can be carried thousands of miles ithout injury, and over the roughest wagon iads. In packing looking-glasses and marie slabs, each piece should be placed in a ;parate box, aud fixed in its place by wedges nd side-pieces, driven closely and nailed in ghtly; laths should be placed across mirrors ; r.4 ~ mofaxinl naarl Ko IICoH fnr nflplfinfT 11U 1JU OUI L UJabCiiUl UVWU WW MWVV* ?w? KMVM.Mb) [though if desired, pillows and bolsters can e stuffed in. Marble slabs should be put in oxes just fitted to them, and sheets of wet lean paper placed between each slab, aud ich piece be held firmly in place by wedges id side pieces. Valuable furniture must be iwed up in mattings, and entirely protected, arge hogsheads are better than square boxes ir packing fragile articles, as they can be iore easily handled, and if packed in as I ave described, there can be no fear of their siug injured. A Fearful Ride?At the South Carolina ,ailroad depot yesterday morning,a demented ny, named O'Brien, jumped on the locomove, Gourdin, which the engineer and firemen ad left for a moment, and opening the throte valve, started the engine up the road at a iarful speed. At each crossing, O'Brien lew the whistle, and people in amazement nd wonder gazed upon the flying locomotive, a the upper yard a shifting engine was takig in a supply of water, and the engineer ieing the Gourdin approaching at break neck ieed, and supecting there was something rong, threw open the valve of his engine, iking the precaution at the same time to pen the cold water supply pump, and then imped from her. The shifter immediately ;arted in the same direction, followed closely y the Gourdin, both engines going at lighting speed. A hand car on the same track, laded with railroad iron, was demolished by le Gourdin, aud the collision had the effect f bending the cattle guard of the locomotive nder one of its wheels, causiug it to act as a rake. As soon as possible another locomo,ve was procured, and some of the officers of ae road started in pursuit of the runaway enines. They were overtaken near the fourlile curve, both engines having cooled off, nd being at a standstill. Upon approaching be Gourdin, O'Brien was seen engaged in oilig the machinery with a view, probably, of laking another start; but, upon observing ie appraach of the pursuers, made for the mods with the evident intention of escaping. Ie was pursued,overtaken and brought back ) the city. The engineer and fireman of the ? -1?? 1 I- ? ?? JA/1 ?-?nr* /liMfT inwnc. rouroin nave ueeu susjjeuucu pcuumg nuw gation.? Charleston Chronicle. A Clown's Sermon.?A sermon preached i Virginia by the clown of a circus, is thus eported. It was in the evening, when the erforraance was about to close, the clown ;epped forward, and in a solemn tone adressed the vast assemblage present in the allowing style: "My friends, we have taken in about six undred dollars here to-day?more money, venture to say, than any minister of the lospel in this county will receive for a whole ear's service. A large portion of this raony was giveu by church members; a large ortion of this audience is made up of meraers of the church. And yet, when your reachers ask you for money to support the Jospel, you say you are too poor to give any hing. Yet you come here and pay dollars o hear me talk nonsense. I am a fool beause I am paid for it; I make my living y it. You profess to be wise, yet you suport me in my folly. But perhaps you say ou did not come to see the circus, but the nimals. Ah, this all an excuse. If you arae simply to see the animals, why did you ot look at them and leave ?" aSF" A Vienna correspondent writes : "There - - --x 1! ?? vonnlroo fViA frnnt. i a city uruujtwiue wmvu .?? . oors of all dwelling houses to be locked by lie porters at ten o'clock at night.
