A Boac Bird In th« CspitoL
It happened during a vacation be
fore congress convened that an un
known lady strolled into the rotunda
of the capitol. There was nobody
about but the guides and a few tour
ists, and a couple of friends who
v re with the unknown suggested
to her that she try the acoustics of
the ball. At first she demurred, but
. the idea seemed to fascinate her. As
vhe stood silent for a moment, as if
vaiting for her accompaniment,
-omething in her easy pose suggest
ed familiarity with the footlights.
Thou she lifted up her voice \md
sang—easily and unaffectedly as a
bird—and such singing 1 It was only
a simple old ballad, but the voice
was pure and dear, the phrming fine
and elocution excellent.
But this was not all. The echoes
of the great dome awoke and joined
in the song until it seemed magnlflad
and expanded into a whole great
chorus. The guards and guides
crowded in to hear this impromptu
concert, and even the anxious sight
seers, who had allotted 15 minutes to
“do the capitol,” paused to listen.
It was grand, it .was inspiring, and
the singer seemed to enjoy this real
isation of her art, which she could
never attain in an ordinary hall
When she paused, a round of ap
plause awoke other echoes until it
sounded like the tribute of a great
audience.
And then the singer, realizing her
situation, departed, and her remark,
as she thanked the doorkeeper, that
she had sung in many hAiu. but
none like this, gave rise to the sur
mise that she was not unknown to
fame.—Washington Post
▲ ValaabU Stocking.
Edward Hutchinson Bobbins was
speaker of the Massachusetts house
of representatives in 1798. His grand
son, who describes him as a man of
untiring kindness, “whose desire
was to bless and serve others,” says:
Stephen Brewer, who knew him
well, told me once that when he was
a clerk in a store in Boston the old
gentleman walked in with a gray
stocking in his hand, the foot of
which was full of Spanish dollars.
“Stephen, my littie man,” said he,
'take care of this for me; it’s a new
stocking, and my daughter Cassy knit
it for me.”
So Stephen put it'away, and grand
father forgot it from that hour, but
. three months later he came into the
store in much affliction.
“Stephen, my little man,” said he,
‘Tve lost a stocking like this,"show
ing the mate, “and I'm so sorry I My
daughter Cassy knit them,” he said
tenderly, “and I would not lose them
for anything.”
‘T produced the stocking with the
Spanish dollars tied up in the foot,”
said Stephen, “and there was no af
fectation about it He really cared
more about finding the stocking that
his daughter had knit for him than
he did for the money.”—Tooth’s
Companion.

The following experience may con
vey a useful hint to travelers in
Switzerland. A lady traveling with
her daughters wrote to the proprie
tor of the Bean Bivage hotel, Inter
laken, to know if they could have
rooms on the second floor. They re
ceived an answer by telegraph that
rooms would be reserved as desired.
On arrival they found that the rooms
reserved for them were on the third
floor. On their refusing to take
these and preparing jegart, the
landlord demajifl&Tso franca.
/, whereupon he re*
fused to allow their luggage to be
removed. They went to a lawyer,
but had to pay the 50 francs before
the luggage Vas released. At this
period a male relative appeared on
the scene and sent a message to the
landlord that unless the 60 francs
were repaid by a specified time an
action would bis commenced, which
led to the money being at once re
turned.—Bern Letter.

SOME BIG EQUINE LEAPS.
Thirty-four Feet Certainly Cleared In the
ZnglUh Steeplechase of IM7.
One of the most remarkable jumps
by a horse on record is that by
Chandler, a steeplechaser, while run
ning in the Leamington cup race at
Warwick, England, in 1847. Tho dis
tance covered in one leap has been
variously measured. For a number
of years it was thought to have been
89 feet, but the editor of the spoil
ing paper in which the record was
first published afterward explained
that this was a printer’s error and
that the distance was in reality 37
feet. This in itself is big enough—
so big, in fact, that there are many
horsemen in England today who
will swear that it is exaggerated.
The portion of tho race in which
this jump, occurred is reported as
follows in a description of tho race
in the issue of March 28, 1847.
“This left the lead with King of
the Valley, but he refused at tho top
of the hill and soon after Regalia
caught up with him. They raced to
gather to the brook, with Chandler
following them. Chandler’s rider
pulled back as they approached it, ex
pecting that Regalia would bring
grief to somebody, and when they
•rtived at it sent the spurs into his
horse and followed them with all
steam on. Both went into the
brook, and while they were there
Chandler, who was not able to stop,
whatever inclination he may havo
had to do so, made an extraordi
nary jump and cleared the brook,
horses and riders together.”
The account goes on to say that
Chandler won file race with ease.
The length of the leap was immedi
ately measured, but there was some
doubt as to where the animal had
landed, as the ground was soft and a
number of hoof prints had been
made. Captain Broadley, the rider,
who seems to have been 5 modest
person, said that the distance was 37
feet. This beat the record as far as
known, the best previous perform
ance having been that of Lottery,
who cleared between 33 and 34 feet.
One of the witnesses of the jump
was William Archer, father of the
famous Fred and Charles Archer,
and he was willing to swear ever
afterward that the distance was 39
feet. F. Sawley, a well known
sporting writer in England, was also
on hand, and he has declared, in a
recent article that the tape measured
but 34 feet. This is the minimum
estimate. Summing up, it may be
said that while there is some doubt as
to the exact number of feet cleared,
Chandler’s performance was an un
usual and important one.
The same may be said of a home
called Proceed, who is said to have
cleared 37 feet while running in a
steeplechase about the time of the
above event. A horse called Culver-
thorn is reported to have jumped 39
feet on one occasion, and Lather, a
boater owned by one Lord Ingestrie,
is said to have jumped 37 feet 5
inches over a pit. None of these
measurements is absolutely authen-
tio.—Bell’s Life.
