THE GALATEA'S MONKEY DEAD. The Wonderfully Intelligent Pet of Lieut, and Mrs. Henn. The pennant of the British cutter Galatea, ?in winter quarters at South Brooklyn, drooped moarafully at half mast the other day. Peggy, tho yet of tho master, mistress, skipper and crew of tho white hulled racer, was dead. Peggy was a female whoso species has been immortalized by Darwin. Capt. Daniel Bradford, of tho Galatea, said bo be lieved Peggy exemplified tho truth of a theory opposed to Darwin's?tliat tho monkey de scended from man. He thinks Peggy de scended a Cew pegs and then hovo to. "All that tho creature wanted to make her human," said the black bearded British sailor, "was tho English language. Sho could learn utmost anything but that. Sho had a lan gua^ of her own that wo couldn't under stand, which shows how duU wo are. but sho understood our language, although sho couldn't talk it" 1 Peggy died at noon in the cabin of the cutler. She was ill about six hours. Capt Bradford wrapped the body up in tho Union Jack, and made preparations for a burial. Ho got four skippers of yachts lying in the basin to act as poll bearers. They carried the body to tho head of the pier, where a grave had been made. Peggy was lowered into tho grave, and the captain put over it a little slab of pure white marble. Peggy was born in Malta about three and a half years ago. Sho was purchased from ono of the natives of Malta by the mate of the schooner yacht Shamrock, and thus had Irish blood in bur veins. The mate of the Shamrock tcok ber to Southampton, where Capt. Bradford, at Mrs. Henn's request, bought her mid took hor to tho Galatea. Peggy could pull on a halyard like a trained sailor, and she always helped tho crew to make and lower sail. Sho manifested a great interest in tho cutter's races. When tho Galatea slipped ahead of her rivals Peggy would run out on tho bowsprit and jump up end down, and chatter as if sho bad gone mad. Capt. Bradford said there would be mourning in England when tho Galatea's crow over tbcro heard that Peggy was dead.? New York Sun. A Disappointed Young Miss. Whilo Thomas C. Acton was sub-treasurer be had for a visitor a young Connecticut miss, and be instructed Cashier Floyd to show her and her mamma through tho vaults and let them see how compactly Undo Sam stored $140,000,000. Mr. Floyd is one of those jolly old g'-ntlemen who believes In pleasing the young folk*. He took from one of the vaults a package containing $6,000,000 in $10,000 bank notes, and, handing it to the young min, said: "Iguops we can spare that for you." Sho looked pleased, folded the pack age of new bills In tbo middle, opened her hand satchel, and was about to drop the big fortune Into it when Mr. Floyd, noticing that she was in earnest told he.- that he had just recollected that the government was a little short that day, and that he would have to postpone the gift to somo other time. Tbo young miss lives in Forestville, Conn, and only on Thanksgiving day she thought her papa might let her come to New York and get the present - awaiting her at the sub treasury.? New York Sun. Hogs In m Drag Store. A drove of 100 hogs that were being driven through Allegheny became frightened and stampeded. About a dozen ran into a drug store bleeding and covered with mud Two ladies who were waiting for. prescriptions screamed with fear. Ono of them sprang on the counter and the other clambered upon the soda fountain. After upsetting every article of furniture in tho store, tho fattest of the airrighted hogs tried to got behind the prescription counter and overturned tho stove. The stove is heated by natural gas, and when it was upset tho pipe was broken and a sheet of flamo shot up almost to tho ceiling. A disastrous conflagration would have been the result but for the prompt action of the pro prietor, who turned off the gas. Two of the hogs were badly burned. The owners of the swine were compelled to carry them out? New York Sun. DiiK Hin Own Grave. A very cleverly arranged contrivance has been discovered in the woods near St George, N. B., by means of which on old and eccen tric resident named Tucker intended ending bis existence. It bad been noticed for several weeks that the old man spent the greater port of his time in the woods, and a party followed bim. He soon stopped beside on open grave, which was found to have been constructed for some special purpose. Investigation showed that a box bad been placed in it and springs arranged to that a man could lie down in th :? box and pull down a board, when the grave would fill with earth, and brush wood arranged for the purpose would cover the mound The discovery was only mado just in tima to save tho man's life, for every detail had been completed.?Chicago Herald. Eastern Shore GlrU as Gunners. Quito a novel and striking sight was wit nessed by i. rider on the Black water road on Thursday last in the form of a gunning party composed of both ladies and gentlemen. The ladies looked perfectly at home with their %cuns on their shoulders, and seemed to handle .hem with as much skill as did the gallant young men at their sides. Each face beamed with delight as they held aloft the string of partridges so lately brought low. Tho gen tlemen were laden with bunches of brilliant autumn leaves and bright red berries gath ered from the woods near by, and as they gayly tramped along, followed by the beauti ful bird dogs, Beppo and Leo, belonging to Dr. Carroll, it looked quite picturesquo and outrivaled the gypsies who have so lately been among us.?Cambridge News. ^level-Headed and Able. Helen Potter is a smart woman. She went on the stage a few years ago as a trick elocu tionist, and mado money. Then she organ ized a troupe, calling it "Helen Potter's Pleiader." She did not do well with that; but she had saved up some mew-v. and in vested it in a Montana cattle u. The other day tho good Kiner, of '. . ?

The cattlemen treated her with th" utmost defer ence, and she rode like a queen Helen is a great woman, a little cracked on the subject of tbo rights of her sex, but level-headed and able _ A Surprise to tho Surgeon*. Five years ago T. P. Woodall. of Hartsvllle, Ala., in a fit fell into an open fire, and his skull was so badly burned that he was likely to die. As a last resort surgeons removed the entire skull on a fine parallel with the eye brows, placed an artificial covering over the brain, and Woodall lived until a few days ago, and retained all his faculties.?
