DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY. INDIANA. FEB. 17, 18:

Joe, the Ch lin pun zee. When in England I was very much interested in monkeys at the zoological gardens, Regent's Park. London. There were hundreds of all kinds and sizes, from the gigantic orang-outang to tiny creatures not much bigger than a large rat. These monkeys had a spacious glass house, heated by steam; and as a tropical temperature was always maintained, tall palms and luxurious vines grew so vigorously within 1 its walls that I have no doubt that the f inmates supposed themselves in their native haunts. They chattered and scolded each other, wildly chased stray little dogs and kittens, and really seemed to know so much that I half-believed the old keeper, who told ma the only reason they did not talk was because they could make themselves well enough understood without. Many funny stories I heard of their sagacity. One 1 recall of a nurse who shook a naughty little boy in the presence of some of the mother monkeys, whereupon all the old monkeys began shaking all the young ones until it seemed as if their poor little heads would drop off. But, interested in all the singular inhabitants of the house, I grew attached to Joe, the young chimpanzee who had been brought a babe from the coast of Guinea the winter before. He had a little room on the sunny side of the monkey house, with a stove, table, chairs and a couple of beds arranged like the berths in the state room of an ocean steamer. Besides he had a man all to himself, to wait upon him ; and it is no wonder the other monkeys were jealous of his superior quarters and the deference paid him ; for while Joe was not handsome he was worth more money than all the others put together. He was worth this great sum because he belonged to the most intelligent and interesting species of the monkey family, and only one or two of his kiu folks have been seen in Europe, while the only one the zoological society had ever owned, had died of lung fever before he had inhabited his comfortable quarters many months. Joe was as tall as an average boy of eight or ten years. He wore a thick cloth cap such as Oxford students delight in One day I walked to the door of his room and knocked. The keeper said : “Come in,” and as I did so Joe walked erect over the floor to me, pulled off his cap with his left hand, and put out bis right to shake mine. When I sail. “It is a fine morning,” he bowed briskly ; but when I added : “Are you pretty well, Joe ?" he shook his head and looked very sober. The keeper explained : “Joe had a cold, and that made him very low spirited. Joe was listening attentively; and when the man finished, he shivered and drew up the collar of his jacket around his hairy throat, as if to confirm the statement. I gave him an apple, which he looked at a moment, then opened the oven of his stove, and put it out of sight, seeming to understand that the fire was low, he pulled a basket from under the lower berth and took some bits of wood from it to the stove. Then the keeper handed him a match, and be lighted a fire as cleverly as any Yankee boy I eter saw. “Show the lady bow you read the Timet, Joe,” said the keeper. Joe drew up a chair, tilted it back a little, spread his legs apart, opened the sheet, turned it until he found the page he wanted, then settled himself into the exact position of the comfortable Englishman who supposes the 2V»i« is printed for his exclusive use. It was impossible to help laughing, and the

sly twinkle in his left narrow eye assured us that Joe himself knew how funny it was. Quite a crowd had gathered at the open door of his room, and as he noticed it, be drew out the one eye-glass Englishmen particularly affect, and put it to his eye looking as weakly wise as Lord Dundreary him self. After a little ha grew tired of sc many spectators, left his chair andqui etly shut the door in their faces. Looking about as if he would d< something more for our amusement, h< remembered bis apple in the stove ov

en. Running there he took hold o the door, but suddenly drew back, so it was hot. He laughed a little at hi discomfiture, which he took in goo* part, stood thinking a moment, the used his pocket-handkerchief as deftl as a dainty lady would to accomplis his purpose- But if the door was ho the apple, Joe logically reasoned, mus be hotter; so he ventured not to touc it before opening his knife. W ondei ing what he was going to do, I foun him sticking the blade into the app< and bringing it out in triumph. Th keeper gave him a plate, and after ici ting the apple cool a little he offeree it to us. W* courteously declined but the servant lasted, explaining tha Joe did not like to sat anything alont The. Joe followed, but did not lik the flavor, and being asked if it wa

sour, he nodded. We were told that he, in common with other monkeys, like h oranges and bananas better than any ! " other fruit. '■ Yet he kept tasting a little of the apple from a spoon while the keeper told us how the sailors who hoped to capture his mother only succeeded in l ' bringing him off alive after they had 1 killed her. They had hard work to keep him alive on board ship, but found 1 a warm nook for him near the galley Q fire. He was in fair health when they c landed, so they obtained the large price r offered by the zoological gardens ; but 1 in spite of the most devoted eare, he F seemed to languish in his new home. “Do you love me, Joe ?” the man J ended his story with. Joe nodded, V smiled, and put his head lovingly on 5 the other’s shoulder. As we left that 1 day Joe took his hat, cane, and heavy wrap, and escorted us to the great door 1 of the monkey-house, shaking our hand ’ as we bade him good-bye. Another time when I called he was taking tea, using milk and sugar and handling cup and saucer as if he had been familiar with them from his earliest days, He motioned us to take chairs. We did so, and he jumped up, found cups for us, and then passed a plate of buscuits, laughing with glee as we took one. I have taken tea with many curious individuals, but never expect to be so honored again as to be invited by a chimpanzee. Noticing his hind was feverish I found his pulse was 130. I said, “What is the matter with him ?” “Consumption is what kills all of them,’’ the man answered, low, just as if talking before a human invalid. From that day Joe failed rapidly, and one morning, under the head of “Great Loss,’’ the Timet announced that he died at midnight. I went down at once to see the keeper, whose grief I knew would be keen. He told me how for days Joe could only be persuaded to take food by seeing him eat and hearing him praise it, how he made him sleep in his berth by his side, and when death catna, held his hand through all his last struggle. The man's voice was actually choked with sobs as he said : “It don't seem , funeral for him! He ought to have bad , it.” I never heard that Joe had any funeral, but I did hear that he was : stuffed, and looks more like a big boy ' than when he was alive. — Mrs Annie !

,t Mow Packard Wai Deposed e y In order to set Hayes into the White House, after the Eight to Seven come mission had decided to adopt the forgr ed and fraudulent returns from Louis--9 iana, South Carolina and Florida, it a became necessary to make a bargain 1 with the leaders of an organized move--5 merit in the House of Representatives 1 to defeat the count. Sixty or seventy j members, mainly from the South, dej termined to filibuster to the end of ; the session unless they could secure t terms from Hayes in regard to their > local governments. They had the power to defeat the count in this mati ter. The friends of Hayes saw the dani ger. Gov. Foster was put forward in ■ the House to make overtures to this ■ opposition. His speech led to a c< ■- . ference at the rocms of Stanley Matthews, in Wormley’s hotel, where Ellis, Burke and Watterson, claiming to represent Louisiana and South Carolina, met John Sherman, Matthews, Garfield, Foster and Dennison, as the personal, political and confidential friends of Mr. R. B. Hayes. A letter was then produced from Hayes fully approving Foster's speech. Matthews, who was the chief spokesman on this occasion, gave the strongest assurances that if Hayes was permitted to go in, his policy would be entirely satisfactory to the South. When asked how it would be practicable if Hayes was declared president, to prevent Packard from being governor he pointed out the way which was afterward adopted. Upon these pledges, and upon others more formally made, the filibustering ceased and the bargain was oonsummated. Hayes went in. Now look once more at the figures of the election in 1876. They are instructive : Official. Returning B <1 Ti1den83,723 70,608 Huyes 71,174 76,315 Nicholls 81,487 71,198 Packard .76,477 74,924 The false count of the Returning Board allows Packard a majority over five of the republican electors. It thus appears that the official returns of renublican supervisors gave Packard Board gave Hayes alter iKmi work had been done. And to make their case stronger, Wells, Anderson and their colored colleagues reported Packard as having many more votes than the Hayes electors. Therefore if a minority candidate was made president, how was a majority candidate for governor to be set aside by the same process and party ? That question is best answered in two remarkable papers, of the same date although wholly independent of ' each other, bearing the signature of ; Stanley Matthews. Here they are, and the republicans of the senate will I doubtless be edified by reading them at this time : Washington City, Feb. 27, ’77. “Gentlemen : Referring to the conversation had with you yesterday, I in which Gov. Haye s policy as to the status of certain Southern States was discussed, we desire to say that we can ■ assure you in the strongest possible ' manner of our great desire to have him adopt such a policy as will give to the States of South Carolina and Louisiana ■ the right to control their own affairs in their own way, subject only to the : Constitution of’the United States, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, and to say further that from an acI quaintrnce with and knowledge of Gov. Hayes avid his views, we have the most complete confidence that such will be the policy of Lis administration. Respectfully, Stanley Matthews Charles Foster. To the Hon. John B. Gordon and the Hon. John Young Brown.’ This protocol was drawn up to sat- | isfy the filibustered, and to complete the count. It drove the first nail into I Packard's coffin, as will be seen by the ' ’ following letter to him : U. S. Senate Chamber, 1 Washington, Feb, 27 ’77 f > j “My Dear Sir : I received and read ! with attention your communications oi i the subject of the public affairs ol U Louisiana, and the subject has beer II , carefully and anxiously considered bj - ! myself and others in its relation to the ,t | general policy of a republican admin j islration toward it. j Without reference to the rightful ' ; uess of the origin of your title as gov r " i ernor I am of the opinion thpt the cir g, j cumstances arc such that it will be ou ’’ j of the question for a republican ad i t ministration to maintain it. as it must | necessarily be by force of Federal arms As soon as existing military orders are withdrawn the Nicholls Governa ment will become the only existing government and will have to be rccogi nized then as such. In the meantime, it will be the duty of the admimstra tion to take care that the result shall not imperil the rights and equality of the colored people of Louisiana, so fai as it has lawful power to prevent, and also to take care that such republican! 't like yourself, against whom nothin; e disreputable can be alleged, should no , e suffer, and should receive consideratioi and position in some appropriate man e ner. ft These are, in short, my own individ i ual views, I regret the eondition c

affairs, but I can not help it and see no better way 1 to improve it. Respecte fully, Stanley Matthews. i. Hon. 8. B. Packard, New Orleans. ;- Stanley Matthews was th« originator i- of the plan to depose Packard which ha t had outlined at the so-called Wormley n Conference. As he says in his letter i- to Packard, that plan was to be cars tied out “without reference to the righty fulness of the origin of your title as - Governor." Why was right to be f trampled under foot and a Republican a candidate for Governor to be discarded r when he had a better title than five s of the electors fraudulently counted -for Hayes? Because it was part of a corrupt contract by which alone Hayes - could reach the White House. That i was the true and the only reason. s Mathews, Sherman, Foster, Gar • field, and others who were parties to this bargain and who were to profit by . its consummation, cared nothing for the “rightfulness" of Packard's title. They would have sacrificed hundred of Pacards’ to reach the goal of their ambition, where honors, offices, and rich rewards were awaiting to welcome the triumphant conspirators. Hayes came in, according to the conditions of the bond ; and one of his first acts was to constitute a commission with power to make the best terms possible in New Orleans, bnt in any event to wipe out Packard as Governor and to overthrow a Republican Legislature. They did the business as directed by Mr. Evarts and as foreshadowed by Mr. Mathews. John M. Harlan was made a Justice of the peace of the Supreme Court for his share in that foul transaction. And now, when Hayes is returning to obscurity, he proposes, iu the last days of his Executive authority, to pay off his obligation to Stanley Mataews by making of him also a Justice of the Supreme Court. Will the Senate permit this outrage on decency and this degradation of th Judiciary? IsEFII. MINTS. Use aqua amm i.iia for the stings of bees.

But if they have lain long untouched end the rust has made its way through the surface they must be taken to some manufactory where there is an emery-wheel used for polishing, or some jeweler will b» able to finish them off as good as new. But in the case of knives and forks they will never be quite as strong, because in removing the rust they must be ground before polishing, and will consequently be thinner. | Baldness may or may not be curable. Every hair grows out of a amall cell, and sometimes the hair falls out temporarily from disease, sometimes from the death of the cell. In the latter case nothing can force the hair to grow again. In the former proper action may restore the cell again. The patented preparations are worthless, or worth no more than any home-made or domestic remedy. Friction and stimulants arc the principal remedial measures. Equal parts by measure of bay rum and castor oil, well mixed, make i as good a stimulant as a dollar bottle of restorative. Sage tea is a favorite stimulant in England, and is an excelj lent preventive when the hair is falling jut , but the best preventives are I cleanliness and the thorough use of i the brush. There is nothing looks nicer in its Q way than a clean, bright looking set of 13 ! harness, nor is there anything more e j quickly damaged by neglect. Harness should be washed and oiled frequently. To do this effectually the straps should be unbuckled and detached, and then ' n . washed with soft water and crowr ,f i soap, and then hung by a slow fire oi n in the sun until nearly dry, then coat ed with a mixture of neatsfoot oil and 18 I tallow, and allowed to remain in a warn: room until nearly dry, then rub thor ]. oughly with a woolen rag. The rubv- bing is important, as it in addition to r- removing the surplus oil and grease. u tends to close the pores and give a finish to the leather. In hanging harness s care should be taken to allow all the •s straps to hang their full length. Al! i closets should be well ventilated, and 8 I when possible, be well lighted. To clean plated mountings, use a chamois i with a little tripoli or rotten-stone , II but they should be scoured as little at f possible. ir )g ‘I say, Clem,’ cried two disputing ig darkies, appealing for decision to a sa ot' ble umpire ; ‘which word is right—di in zactly or dezactly ?’ The sable umpir 11 reflected a moment, and then with j. look of wig lorn, replied : *1 can't to of j penactly.'

I was standing on the platform of the Central depot the other day. wait ing for the train for Boston, when a woman probably born near the opening of the present century, cave to me and said : •You are a stranger to me, sir.' ■Yes,’ I replied looking at her bonnet and wondering how many years old it was.

e ‘I am sorry,’ said she, with a sigh. i- ‘Why so ?’ said I. ‘Because if I felt acquainted I would like to speak to you.’ r She bad already spoken twice, a ‘Try and feel acquainted,’ said I, »n---y couragiugly. r ‘Then you have no objeetioa to me - telling you my story ?’ ‘How many chapters are there V I s inquired. ‘Are they long for shert ? 3 ‘Short,’ she replied. 1 “Begin,’ said I, ‘the train will be hen 1 soon.’ » ‘I am in distress,' said the woman. 1 ‘W hat caused it ?' I inquired, ‘mince t pie or cabbage ?’ 1 ‘Oh, no, nothing that I ever eat 1 hurts me, it’s a man.’ ‘Ah, I see, your husband has left ■ you.’ 1 ‘No, that's not it. I never was married.’ ‘lndeed, then you are not in the market ?’ ‘This was a slight deviation from the truth for she was side of me in the depot. ‘Well, not exactly, I am engaged, but have had an idea of breaking off the engagement.’ Heartless wretch, thought I to myself. ‘For what reason ?’ I asked. ‘Because of something which I have heard lately.' 'What is it ?’ I inquired. 'We have not had any thunderstorm lately.’ ‘No ; but I hear that people after they get married grow to look like eaeh other. What do you think about it ?’ ‘I haven’t any money up on it,’ I replied, ‘but yet it may be so. Tennyson advances some such an idea as that I believe. But what do you care if your future husband grows to look like you ?’ ‘Grow to look like me !’ she exclaimed. I wish he would. That is not it at all. lam afraid chat I shall grow to kok like him.’ ■But what if you do ?’ ‘Why, he’s all bent up with rheumatism,' replied the woman, ‘and I am sound in every timber.' ‘But rheumatism can be cured,’ I replied. ‘More than that he’s baldheaded as oot the woman. Would rather detract from your cnarrfis,' /"replied. ‘But this isn’t all —he hasn’t got a tooth in his head. How would I look without teeth ?' ■Bad,’ 1 replied looking through the depot to see if the train was coming. ‘More than this,’ said the woman, he’s got only one leg.' ‘Probably the other is all right,'said I trying to comfort her a little. ‘Yes,’ said the woman, ‘but he lost one eye in the army.' I ‘Then you ought to marry him out of sympathy,' said I, 'if for uelhing else. ‘I can stand all this very well, but there’s one thing that I can not swallow and that’s his nose.' ‘But why do you want to ?’ ‘Want to what ?’ ‘Why—swallow his nose. ‘I mean,' said the woman, trying to explain, ‘cannot stand his nose—its tremendous.’ ‘Large, you mean. •Yes, perfectly frightful.’ 'Nature did not forget you in that ' direction,' said 1. She had as big a nose as I ever saw on a person of her size. ; ‘No, I’ve got a good big one myself, i but there isn't any wart on it,’ said the f woman. ‘None that I can see,’ I replied.' g 'Well, that's the trouble, he has got f a big nose and a wart on the end of e that.' 9 ‘Unfortunate,’ said I. f ‘I want to give you a conundrum,’ j said the woman. ‘When he goes to n take a glass of water which do you n suppose touches the water first, his )r lips or his nose ?’ t . ‘His lips, of course,' said I starting for the train, which had arrived in the m station aud was on the point of startr- in g , ‘No, sir,’ she replied, ‘that wart does. 0 As I took hold of the door knob the . woman shouted: ‘Shall I marry him or not ?' g ‘I do not dare to advise you upon e so delicate a subject,' I replied, as the j train moved off. j Seeing that all of the passengers u were looking at me, I dropped into the s first seat that I could find, and did not speak again for half an hour.— Dan- * bury News.
