In a certain Michael Murphy, a for mer alderman of Richmond, Va., that ci<ty believe? it has probably the greatest checker player in the world. He is a modest man, of ample means, and he will not play for money. But Mr. Murphy has in social games beaten the { best players in this country, England and Ireland. The'late John R.

The Paris Debate says that a monument is to be erected at Trets, in the Bouches du Rhone, to the memory of a man whom it calls one of the national glories of France?namely. Urban Dubois. the father of the explorer, Mr. Felix Dubois, author of "Tfmbouctou la Mysterieous. He was chief cook to King William of Prussia, and naturally resigned when the war broke out. He thereupon immediately undertook to publish in tasteful and often expensive volumes his vest and detailed knowledge of the culinary art, producing half a dozen volumes which havo become classical in their kind. Born in - - - .. _ I 3818, he died a few montns ago. King Glardioni Byrrd and his wife. Queen Natalie, of the gypsy tribe camping near Morristown. New Jersey, were divorced recently according to the rites of tribe. The sacred marriage rod was brought out and placed on a cloth in the centre of a circle of gypsies. Then the property of the tribe was brought out. Half of it was placed on one side of the rod and half on the other. Then the Queen opened a book and gave the number of the page. The King did likewise, and as he came nearest the centre of the book he stepped over on the north side of the marriage rod. The Queen took her pla?-e among the goods on the south side of the rod. They stooped to the ground together, picked up the rod, each holding an end. and after a moment's hesitation broke it in twain. They were divorced.

During the American revolution the raptain of a little band of soldiers was giving orders to tnose under him about a heavy beam that they were endeavoring to raise to the top of some military works which they were repairing, j The weight was almost beyond their power to raise, and the voice of the superintendent was often heard: "Heave away! There it goes! Heave i ho!" v An officer, not in military costume, was jjassing, auu asiveu ui iuc intcndent why he did not give a helping hand. The latter, astonished, turned around with all the pomp of an emperor, and said: "Sir, I am a corporal !" "I ask youf pardon, Mr. Corporal." the man replied, and taking off his hat. he bowed, saying. "I was not aware of the fact." Upon this he dismounted and pulled till the perspiration stood in drops on his forehead, and when the beam was raised, turning to the little great man, he said: "Mr. Corporal, when you hsve another sucu job, ami have not men enough, send for your commander-inchief, and I shall gladly come and help you a second time." The corporal was thunderstruck. It was Washington. This goes to illustrate that a man. though great, may always find one who is greater. A True I'lceou Story. A gentleman had two pairs of pigeons living in dovecotes placed side a? t ?. fomilv thoro uy siue. in caiu pigcuu iu.nmj >.uv>v was a father ana a mother bird and two little ones. On a certain day the parents in one dovecote went away to get food; and, while they were gone, one of their little birds fell out of the dovecote and down to the ground. The poor baby bird was not much hurt, strange to say; but it could not get back, for it was too young to fly. Now the parents in the other dovecote were at home when this happened, and it seemed as if they said to themselves: "One of our babies might fall i out in just that way. Wc must do something to make the dovecote safer." And then this wise, careful father and mother went to work. They flew about until tney found some small sticks. These they carried to their own dovecote, and there in the doorway they built a cunning little fence of sticks. Not so high but that the little pigeons could look over it. but high enough to keep them from ever falling out of the dovecote, as their little neighbor had done. The owner of the pigeons, who had seen the birdling fall, and had put it uack into its dovecote, watched the birds the whole time as they gathered the sticks and built the fence acros the doorway. This is a true story, and it is often told to some children in Boston by a lady who knows the owner of these very pigeons.?Central Presbyterian. Aly Do:; Jotli. Wc had had a housefm of company all last summer. Cne night our guests had all lett us for a few days. My sister and myself were aione in our old house, with uic servants quite remote from us in the L of the house. Our room was on the ground floor, and very easy of access from the piazza and road, but we feit quite protected, having with us two small dogs, an electric bell connecting with the man's room in the Stable, and a good sixshooter. We were thankful to our sharp-voiced terrier before that night was over, as my tale will tell. It was a foggy, grim night out; you who know what seashore fogs are can picture to yourselves the night! And just after I had retired, my Josh, the hero cf this story, started up from his snug quarters and barked furiously and continuously. I remonstrated, but he had no idea of being pacified, and barked with such evident purpose that he completely aroused both my sister and myself. So we consulted as to what had best be done, feeling suresome mischief was brewing. We listened but could hear no sound, still Josh kept on with his voice of warning. and at last I touched my electric bell to call over the man. i \ In the stillness of the night the clear ring of the bell could be distinctly i heard, and as it was sounding I heard I ome one run. and concluded it was I ur man: but soon af.er he came walk- 1 ! ig quietly over. I let him in. and sent i ?.im over tue house; everything | i seemed as quiet as a well-regulated family sho .Id be. and so I sent him back, and we again settled for a tranquil night. No sooner, however, had the man gone into the stable than we were startled by hearing three men jump from off the roof'of the piazza over our heads! They saw that the alarm had been given, that we were aroused, and that their little game for that night was frustrated, so the fog shielding them, they laid quite still on the roof of the piazza till their danger was past, anu then descended in haste. Their plans were wed laid, and would have been successful but for our vigi lant little watchman, from whose collar now hangs a gold medal in token of our gratitude.?Our Dumb Animals Faby Clarke'* "(hupper." "No," said Baby Clarke, "I tan't do to bed 'till after chupper." "But we had supper, baby." said mamma. "Don't you remember? We | ate supper on the 'ehoo-ehoo cars' before we got to grandma t house." He shook his yellow head with sor rowful emphasis. "Vat wasn't chupper." "Bless his dear heart!" cried grandma. "He's forgotten. Boys do get hungry so often. Let me get him some bread and milk, Gertrude. That won't hurt him; and then he'll go to bed like a lamb." Grandma suited the action to the word, and in a trice Clarke found himself seated before a little round table in the high chair that had been brought down from the attic the minute that grandpa and grandma had receded the letter telling them .that their little grandson was coming to make them a visit. The bread and milk disappeared slowly, seriously, silently. * "What a quiet child!" quoth granapa. "Is he always so still, daughter Gertrude?" Clarke's mamma looked puzzled. "No. indeed," she responded, "if his appetite were not so good, I should cer alnlv ho miitp nlarmPtL I SUDDOSe he - , is tired from his first journey on the , steam cars." "I hope it's nothing worse." sighed grandma, settling her spectacles so as i to see him better, ana beginning to look worried. Presently Clarke laid his spoon down, and wiped his rosy lips meditatively. Then mamma took him in her lap and oegan to unbutton his tired little shoes. But the astonished and j reproachful expression in his wide i eyes made her pause, with the chubby foot in her hand. "Oh. muvver, I don t want to go to bed before chupper! J hasr. i* been naughty!" Grandma dropped her spectacles and forgot to pick them up. Grandpa threw back his head, and laughed and laughed! "Well, well, well!" he said at last. 'The boy's hearty, and no mistake. Glad to see it! Glad to see it!" "He certainly is the beatermost," said grandma, smilingly donning the "specs" which grandpa had picked up between laughs. "But do?don't scrimp j him on victuals. I'll get him some more bread and milk." "He doesn't need it," said his mamma, half laughing and wholly puzzled. "I can't imagine what makes him act so." Clarke watched and listened, his eyes exceedingly bright and his lips j beginning to quiver. And. when he i was placed in the high chair again before a second bowl of bread and milk, he could bear it no longer, but burst forth in broken English, punctuated with heartrending sobs. "Oh. no. no!" he wailed. "No, no. no! Vat ain't chupper. Vat table an' me ain't chupper. Chupper." and he raised his woe-begone face and extended his short arm impressively, j "chupper is a long tabic?an* lots of i folks round it?an'?an'?Tun!" I Down went the yellow head with a pathetic thump. "Dear heart!" said grandma. "He misses the rest of them so!" Apd she picked him out of the high chair and cuddled him close, smiling through moist "? pecks." "The little ch ? has the rights of it," said grandpa, heartily. "Eating alone ain't a genuine meal, and that's a fact. He's hit the idea precisely. Mother, rpozen you set out some things?I know we den't need a thing, and you're plumb tired,?but spozen yo.i do just ^et out sontfe things on the dining room j table, and we all draw up?" "Of course I will, father." responded , grandma. And she really would have i done it. but just then Mamma Ger- J trade said. "Sh-h-h!" Baby Clarke uric ff?^t aslren. "I)cr.r heart!" raid grandma again. "We'll have things right in the morning." "That we will," grandpa. Grandparents are co indulgent!? Christian Register. Aw^'lrai I In'Mn; l'*p?r lVHn'ul.
