hav told you, hul with the stump he

(.ic.inothe stiinrjs. Indeed, the snhliers
were reninrkinir on the novelty of it. I
hii'l not wall hul him thirty seconils w hen
my memory nunc to my ni'l.
In the summer of I .n I made a trip to
n wiiterinif place in Wisconsin - liriilal
tmir. One evciiinjj. as my wife ami I
sat on the pon h of the hotel this man
came aloiio, having a little nv with him.
ami as he played that liihlle and wing she
joined in the i lmnis and ai ronipanied
him (in the Ininjo. This was one of thr
songs he sanp that pvi-nitifr sevrn or ijpht
veises to it and it was so ad and plain
tive that wr paid him to reprnt it two or
three turn .
Now I (ould not say that he n us not
a Confederate, lint the fact that he was
not in our uniform, and that I had seen
him so far North, was rtioiifrh fo rouse a
suspicion. As soon as he had finished his
song lie. offered for sale from his pack,
buttons, thread, needle-, peneils and
other small wares, and did a rn-liiiij? busi
ness for hidf an hour. He could have
sold everything right there, hut he sud
denly packed tip and moved away, even
when a dozen customers hud money in
their hands. This action seemed ipieer,
if not suspicious, mid I followed the man.
In half an hour I was certain that lie was
a spy and had been making an estimate of
our strength.
Without entirely losing sight of the
man, I communicated my suspii ions to
the offiwr-of-thr-dy, and the result was

iich atlaiis were down on his programme,
I 'pi in reitcliiiiif the guard house lie
calmly submitted to a thorough search of
his person and pack. This lasted a full
hour, but we made no ilisi overy of im
portune. The man denied that he wa
ever noi ili of the Ohio Kiver, and i laimeil
Ni w Orleans as his residence, lie learned
the song from a vagabond musiean who
visiied that city', and had -ling it in hun
dreds of ( onfcileratecainp- since the war.
There was absolutely no evidence aain-l'
him, and he would have been set at liber

Hie until next day to look up something
In coiitirin my suspicions.
I at oin e nmunird my horse and rode

The I'oendon.
The Havre aipiariuin has ju-t put on
exhibition one of the most curious, and
( specially one of the rarest of animals
the prehensile tailed eoendoii. It wan
brought from Veiieuela In Mr. Kiuidau,
the commissary of the steamer Cnlomhic.
Brehm says that never but two have been
wen one of them at the Hamburg Zoo
logical Harden and the other at London.
The one under consideration, then, yvoiild
be the third spei inien that has bet n
brought alive to Europe. This animal,
which is allied to the pon iipines, i-about
three ami a half fei t long. The tail alone
is one mid a half feet in Ii ngth. The
entire body, save the belly n lid payys, is
covered with ipiills, which absolutely hide
the fur. I'pon the back, where these
ipiills are longest (about four inches),
they are strong cylindrical, shiniiig. -harp-poiuted,
white at the tip and base, and
blackish brown in the middle. The
animal, in addition, has long and strong
moustaches. The paws, anterior mid
posterior, have four fingers armed with
strong nails, which me curved find nearly
cylindrical at the base.
Very little is known about the lubits
of the animal. All that we do know is
that it passes the day in slumber at the
top of n tree and that it prowls about at
night, its food consisting chiefly of leaves
of all kinds. When it wishes to descend
from one branch to auother it suspends

This part is deprived of ipiilb for alenglh

not like to be disturbed. When il docs
il advances toward the intruder and
endeavors to frighten him by raising its
piill- all over its body. The nativc-of

its iuills for various domestic purposes.

any injury. He brought a .-uit in the
courts for compensation for the loss of

the owner of the factory was responsible
for an injury resulting' from an accident
of this kind, and although he believed
that the man was shamming, ami that
the whole case was an attempt at swind

The day of the trial arrived, and in

cheat was at once ev posed.
The sound right eye, titled with the
