THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUN TUKSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 18 ca THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST. John Schildgen, of the Town of New Trier, yesterdsy petitioned the Circuit Court to anoul - certain proceedings taken by the Township Trus- tees as to the consolidation of School Districts Nos.3a3d 4. Petitioner affirms that, at a meet- ingof the Trustees of New Trier, by a voto of two to one, it was voted to consolidate School Districts Nos. 8 and 4, and reconstitute them as Disdict No. 8, withanew School Board, the Directors and Secretary ronsisting of the persons who are sought to be made defendants in the suit. He claims that, under the law regulating the formation of school districts this action was illegal, the voters of neither dishct having pe- titioned for_consolidation, as required by the statute ; and he also states reasons Why, apart from the legality of the order, it would be im- politic and undesirable to make the change. He prays that the defendant Hartrey be restrained from paying school moneys in his hands belong- ing to Districts 8 and 4, to the other defendauts, who are the Directors of the new Dis- rick, No. 8; that the Diectors be re- strained from crecting or leasing a mew school house at Grass Point, and from ?)eriomm' g any acts whatever in the capacity of irector of the so-celled new district; and that the order consolidating the_districts be annuli- The writ of injunction was ordered as prayed for. Judge Porter presided in tho Criminal Court, sesterday, and, having no Grand Jury to direct, nd no other business to transact, passed tho “happy hours in converting theserf-likealicn into he free and indopendent American citizen. We will not ineult the understanding of the @ons of liberty who want to vote to-day, by tell- ing them that the Courts will not sit. But the elerks will receive new suits. Judge Wallace, yesterday, appointed M. C. Niles, Samuel Dunlep, and W. T. Nichols, Com- missioners to construct the new drain in the town of Cicero. The Grand Jury which was to be sworn in yes- terday was mot a success ; only four respouded to the piping of the Sheriff. Judge Gary will bear defaults in chancery on Wednosday, 2nd ‘in common law on Thursday. The Superior snd Circuit Courts Clerk's offices will be open to-dsy for the filing of papers, and issuing of naturalization. There was scarcely anything done in the Courts, yesterday, except the swearing in of npaturalized citizens. A meeting of the creditors of Spengler & Co., {n benkruptcy, is appointed to take place at 11 D'clock this morning. The United States Court yesterday adjourned until to-morrow morning. * THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. crascEnT—[Judge Blodgett]. %35 Dramard v, Fitzgerald et al; one week given to rmawer. 700—Newman v.

A Gang of Cattle-Thicves in the Rock River Valley—Their Organization, Mistory, and Dispersion. From the Rockford (IlLY Journal, Oct.2. For somo time past rumors havo been rife concerning a mysterious band of anknown men who were engaged in plundering the farmers in this section of country of grain, horses, and chiefly cattle. Occasionally some ono would be arrested for one or the other of these offences, but would always be released, friends of the criminal prompily coming forward to prove an alibi. Within the last few months theft has followed thoft throughout this connty, and the ndjomms one of Boone. Enraged by repeated losses, su desirous of revenge, the farmers of these noigh- boring counties lzid the fow fects known to them before our ekilful Sheriff, Major Flynn, and his ablo assistant, Alr. Nash, These gentlemen went quietly to work, following up the slender clue afforded them, and after nearly a month’s patient and successful search succeeded in unearthing & ‘branch of a powerfully organized banditti, whose vurious societies and gangs, cll under the Teadership of some unlnown head, extend, it is Delieved, from here to Omahs, Hearing of Mesers. Flyan and Nask's eminent succoss, our reporter called on these gentlemen last Wednes- day, and from them elicited the following start~ ling facts : 3 "The organization of the band of thieves who have infested this and Boone Counties, was ef- fected something over o year ago. Their first theft of which we have any knowledge was the stealing of - large quantity of rye from tLe farm of Mr. Proctor, near Cherry Valley. Other thefts followed in quick succession, and these finally culminated in the arrest of one of the gang for stealing & . He was tried before Justice Mackey, of Cherry Valley, but by the help of his confederates proved an” alili, and was conse- quently released. Soon after, Burdett Patten was indicted Yor theft, but before the trial could take &)Lwca, the principal witnesses, either intimidated by threats, or being themselves connected in the aifair, left the county, thus making it impossible’ to convict the pris- oner. Encoursged by their remarkable guccess in defying the laws, the princi- pal members of the bend, R. C. Ladd, Oliver Beckington, Mark Beck.'m?ton, Albert Rovley, Brown, and many of the lesser lights et at the house of R. C. Ludd, & rich farmer, living near New Milford, to consult_in regard to their Tuture line of proceedings. After a some- +what excited discnssion, it was resolved, almost unanimously, that the members of the gang ehould, in the future, attend to cattle stealing, 88 being the most lucratiye and safo form of making money. The first exploit which they are known to have committed was that of running off seven head of young cattle, the property of John McAvoy, who lived just west of Ladd's. These cattlo were taken to Boone County, and there sold for $§75; $10 in cach and a $65 note. Some days after this, Brown, Rowley, Ladd, and one of Ladd's sons, stole fron: the pasture of Stiles Wilcox twenty-two head of cattle. The same night (which was dark and stormy), Brown and Rowlay,fmfifled by Beckington with 500 in money and a bottle of whiskey, drove tho ani- mals to the farm of Beckington, situated in the southesst part of Boone County. This occurred sbout the 7th of September Jast. Some three ‘eeks after, Messrs. Knight and_Miller, ownors of the cattle, missed them from the pasture, and made o diligent search for them, but without success. Atlast o man named Roach,a cattle-hunt- er by profession, came forward end offered to tell ihem where their cattle were, in considera~ tion of receiving $75 in money. The offer was accepted, and they were directed to the farm of Beckington, where they found & portion of the stock, ~On application, the Beckingtons imme- diately gaye up the stock, but clumed to have puarchased them of two men who were driving them toward Sycamore, for £231. Messrs. Knight & Afiller took their cattlo home, but being satisfied that the explanation given them was much * too thin,” they placed the whole affair in the bands of Major Flynn and Mr, Nash, who suspected the persons named above on account of some knowledge of their previous doings. The first move was to arrest Row- ley, whom they found hidden in a hen- Yoost on his father's farm, On being ceptured he “wilted,” and offered to give the Bherift $100° to be let off. This failing, he voluuteered to turn State's evidenco —in fact to do_anything to avoid the necessity of going to jail. He was brohight before Justice Buell, and the Beckingtons brought forward to jdentify him. This they would not do, and he is again at large on $1,000 bail. Warrants wero romptly issued for O. Beckington, Es&d and Ladd's son. Becking- ton was captured, but Ladd s still at large, slthough ike Enlice are confident of his acrest. Another of the gang—Brown by ‘name—sent word that he would give himself up, if hio might be allowed to turn_Stata's evidenco. On consulting the prog]e; suthorities, Major Flynn saw fit to_grant this request, and Brown was brought to Rockford. He is now at large on §2,000 bail, Al this point the matter rests at present, and if it shouid go no further, Messrs. Flynn and Nash deserve the thanks of all persons for their energy and nerve in breaking up this pow- erful and well organized gang. The Bockford Register, in an article on the same subject, says that the man who turned State's evidence stated that the band was formed in Chicago several years ago, and that they pledged themselves to spread over the on~ tire West, making as meny sccomplices as pos- sible, having their headgquarters in Chicago. Batavia. This sketch of Batavia is froma work justpnb- lighed in France, entitled “ Java, Siam, Canton : Yoyage sutour du_Monde. Par le Comte de Bepuvoir. Paris: Henri Plon:” In trpth there are no streets; there are only majestic alloys ehaded by beautiful tufted trees, framed in long, vast arbors, known to us in Eu- rope only a8 operatic decorations. The rays of the pitiless sun cen bub geuotrgl_e their shade at intervals, while they gild with wonderfnl reflec- tions the countless plumes of the cocoa trees, the upright branches of the flame trees, which are nfi scarlet flowers, tho banenas, with green Jeaves tho size of a man, the cotton trees, lnden with seow-white puffs, the traveller's palm, colosszl fans of unsurpassable elegance, which yield stregms of milk to the summons_of & canp pnshed into their back t'h finally, the im- mense banyans, whence falls thousands of verti- cal lianes, ‘which touch the earth, take rapid root, and spring up to tho summit of the tree, there to bind themselves intp intricate garlands, and again to_{ling themselves down.

For these alleys and erbozs are_the footpaths of the “arroyos” of the tropical Bab- ylon, of those great aquatic ways which tho Dutch would have made by hundreds in memory of the mother country, if ‘the Malsy population bad not olready made them by thousands. Thus have the instincts of the white race of the North and the yellow race of the Equator met.

He tellsthe whole story in his memoirs, and his account seems an anticipation of the best portionsof Rabagas. But bis narrative of his expedition to Soissons to seize some powder will I})ba found one of the most stirring bits of adventure in modern times. He had heard Lafayette say that if the King were to advanco on Paris' thero woald be no powder to meet him with. Alexandre conceived 2, bold scheme, and proposed to the Gen- eral to set off for Soissons—a town he well knew—and seize on the magazine there. Lafayotte laughed at the idea, but consented to i im o pass to Gereral Gerard, to which umas coolly added: ‘and we recommend his scheme to you,” From Gerard he, with some difficulty, obtained s requisition addressed to the authorities of the town for the powder. Inthis he ingeniously interpolated the words “ Minister of War,"—a rank which no one buf himself hed_conferred on the General. With this official document he returned to Lafayetto, and persuaded the old patriot to write him & sort of lotter of introduction to the citizens of Soissons, recommending them ¢ Alexander Dumss, one of our combatants,” as a fit and ‘proper person to whom they should hand over the powder. Then our hero—for such he was on this occasion—prepared himself for as spirited and dramatic en adventure as can be found in the books of romance. It was about 8 o'clock in the afternoon of the S0tk of July, 1830. As ho was hurrying away, ho met & young Sninter named Bard, who was only 19. He asked him to join. The other agreed with alacrity, and Alexandre sending him back for his_double-barrelled pistols and his horse, set off himeelf in a cabriolet for Le Bourget, then the firsl post on the road to Soissons, an which has since obtained such o disastrous no- toriety. Arrived there, hie exhibited his La- fayetto and Gerard letters to the Postmaster, and demanded & chaise and horse for his mis- sion. The Postmaster was friendly, and even empresse, and supplied him at once with what he ssked. Ho went ont to buy some picces of cali- co,—red, white, and blue,—which were sewn into & tri-color flag fixed to & broom-stick, which lat~ ter was tied on to_the chaise. With this ensign they started, in hglghea of getting to Soissons sbout midnight. o Postmaster shook his head, but, a8 he sagaciously remarked, *so many fmiraclos had been performed dwring the Jast threo days thet it might be possible.” As they hurried through the various n].lnge_s the flag caused the greatest excitement. ig fel~ low-traveller, delighted, declared that all was going splendidly, - but that they ought to have some sort of cry.” = + Shout awsy, then,” sid Dumas, *and while you are shouting I'll take some slecp.” The only difficulty was, what was to be tho cry, and with some Liesitation’ the now well-vorn and tattered ¢ Virela Republique” was +decided on. Accordingly, the young painter, his head out of the window, and his flag waving, roared on. On the high road they mot & chaise going to Paris, 2nd o traveller of some 50 years old asked for news. “The Louvre is taken; the Bourbons fled ; Provisional Government established—vivels Re- publiquo ! the excited painter poured out. The gentleman 60 years old scratched his ear, and Continued his journey. For the next stago they had an old postilion, who persisted in going at & steady trot, and, at every remonstrance, answer- ed doggedly, ““Leave it all to me. A man knows his own business best.” Dumas at last, from ’his chaiso window, laid on the backs of thehorses i iok, and made them gallop. In & rage, ed :‘Y, swore he would unyoke actually roceeded to do so, Dumas beasts, and fired at Lim with s biank catridge, and so ecared him that he rolled on the ground in terror. Alexandre then put on his huge posting-boots, and, mounting, galloped on to the next post. They soon resched the old familiar Villers- Cotterete—the whole town, ns may well be imagined, being thrown into intenso excite- ment by the appearanco of the chaise with_the tricolor and the excited Alexandre Dumes. Late &8 it was, every honee poured out its inhabi- tants, who ruslied to the post-house. A thou- sand eager questions were put to him—iwhat did it mean, this flag and the 8? He knew all the townspeople, and told the story of the last few days. It was insisted that bo should stay & shart time, and have eomething to eat, and ho was carried off to the houso of an old friend, where a hasty supper was iol: rend{. A number of old companions, who had been boys when he was in the little town, gathered round, listening engerly as their old friend declaimed and re- counted betseen eyory mouthful. As he dashed in for them, which he could do admirsbly, vivid skotches of these thrilling scenes, the rustics listened with delight and wonder ; but when he came to explain the object of his present expe- dition—" when I snnounced that I meant to capture, single-handed, all the powder that was in & military town, containing 8,000 inbabi- tants, and a garrison of 800 men "—they looked at bim doubtfuily, and thought he was_crazed. TThis was, of course, welcome to Alexandre, who elways delighted to put himself in o thestrical attitude, and be the centre of a dramatic situa- tion, Ho turned to his gompanionBard: What were my words when proposing this expedition to you 7” I “You asked,” was the reply, “Was I inclined to get myself ehot with youn.” % And’what do you say now ?" “That I am ready still.” A1l were confounded at such gallantry. One of his friends now stepped fomn& and’ offered o get him into Boissons, as he had a friend at the gates, "Then Alexandre, always anticipating his D’Artagnan, raispd bis glass, and drank to, his own return to them on the next evening. @ Have dinner ready,” he called to the host, ‘o twenty g;zo le; and it is to be eaten just the same, whether we are alive or dead—here are 200 francs. The other answered that he might pey on the morrow. * But if I should be shot?” % Then I shall pay.” A shout arose. ‘Hurrah fof Cartier!” Dumas drank off his wine, and, e might add, the Mfr—flrglp fell, Tt was now about 11 o'clock. ''The horses wers f)ut to, the chaise was waiting, and the bold trio, umas, Bard, and Hutin (who was to pass_them through the gates), drovo away on their darin expedition. By 1 o'clock they had reach the gates of Soissons, through which they were allowed to pass, ‘‘the doorkeeper little dream- ing,"” saya Alexandre the great, ‘ that he was ad- ‘mitting the Bosolution.” They went straight to the houso of Hitin's 'mothez, where their first business was the manu~ facture of & huge tricolor flag. She contribut- ed her biue and réd curtsins, With s tablecloth, and all the women of the household were set to work to sew the pieces together. By daybresk the task was completed. ‘The pole, of course, %&Vo no trouble, as the one from which the oubon white flag was floating wonld answer. + The flag-staff,” a8 Dumas says, had no polit- ical opinions.” The plan they had arranged was really Qpixot- icin its extravagance, and indeed seems almost incredible. * Moking all allowance for Dumas’ bombast, it will _be scen that st .the most he has only been guilty of the novclist’s exaggeration; and though at the time the story of the” adventure was all but seouted, it conld not be disproved inite facts, which are given with tha most minute details uf dates, names, and places. It was settled that Bard and Hutin wero to take the flag and con- trive to Lfiet into the cathedral undor pretence of seeing the sun riso, from the tower. If the sacristan made any resistance he was to be flung over the purapet. | Then haying.dragged down the white flag and set the tricolor floating from the tower, B3ard was to_ hurry on_to lend his aid to Damas, who would Le engaged at the powder magazine. Such was the dashing planof these three men. They started st daybreak, and Dumas made his way to the Tort St. Jean, whero s small pavilion, close to the gateway, was used as the magazine. Ho dared not attempt the gato, but, stealing round, climbed up the wall can- tiously, and took & peep info thofort. Ho suw two soldiers busy hoeing in a little garden at the corner. He let himsolf down again, looked over at the distant cathedral. He saw distinctly against the sky a dark outline of some figures; then the white flag, after boing tossed about in an extraordinary fashion that could mot have boen owing to the wind, finally disappeared, and the tricolor-took its place. Now was the mo- ment; his companions had done their part. He slung his double-barrelled gun sbout him, and began to climb the wall. When he got to the top he saw the two soldiers staring with wonder st the strange flag on the cathe- dral, then, cockin, oth barrels of his gun, he leaped down and stood before them. One was named Captain Mollard ; the other Sergeant Ragoun. He advanced on them, Eresenting Tuis piece, and made them a courteous ut hurried spHaach, axE;nining who he was, and his errand. He was Monsieur Alexander Du- mas, gon of General Dumas, &c. He camein the name of General Gerard to demand the sur- render of the powder, and there was his order signed by the General, which he presented with one hand, holding his cocked. gun in the other. The pair were much taken back, and know not what to do, when the Colonel, D'Orcourt, who was in command, was seen approaching. The matter was explained o him, and after many courteous phrases, a treaty was arranged, by which the three officers promised their neutrali- ty, and engaged to keep within doors, Thus the powder magazine would seem to have been captured by Dumas single-handed. It bas the air of & very brilliant achievement, and the picture of the hero alone in the fort, his finger on the triggers of his gun, courteously but firmly controlling his three oppononts, is & most dramatic scocne. When writing the acconnt of his adventure, from which we taie these par- ticulars, however, Dumas forgets that in the official report furnished to the Monifeur twenty- three years before, he had stated that thrée of his friends were waiting at the gate. Thus successful, he opencd the gate and found his friend Bard. ~To him he handed over the charge of the magazine, and went away to deal with tho Commandant of. the fort, iers. ~ Ho found this officer just rising and discussing the news of the sndden npgemmce of the flag on the cathedral. Dumas laid down his gun at the door, intro- duced himself, and mode his demand for an order to remove thepowder. The other declined to_aclnowledge General Gerard's order, and enid that thero was scarcely any powder in the magazine, The Commandant scemed, in fact, rather amused, and smiled scornfully when Dumas answered that the party at the magazine er his prisoners, Alexandro replying that he would go back at once and bring proof under their hand that the powder was there, made his bow, and retired. He flew back, found that he was right, and returned prcsentfy with satisfac- tory proof that o lufie quantity of powder was in ‘tho magazine, But when he reachod the commandant's ofilce he found that the party had been incrensed during his sbsonce, and that Lenferns, an officer of gendarmes, and Bon- Yilliers, Colonel of the Engincers, were there, in full uniform, and srmed. Tho Commandant addressed him in & gort of bantering_tone, tell- ing him that he had sent for these officers, who, with him, were in command of the town, in order that they mii;hc have the pleasuro of hear- ing M. Dumas explain his migsion. The young man saw that boldness was his only resource, and coolly told him thet he had been engaged by Lafayetto to bring the powder to Parig, or to lose his life, and that he insisted on the Com- ‘mandant handing over that powder to him. Tho officers passed on Gerard's order from one fo the other with & gort of smiling contem pt. “And so,” eaid the Commandant, in_the same tone—* g0, single-hended, Monsienr Dumes—I think you #aid that was_jour name—jyou pro- poso to force me to do this. You see that we are four.” The young man saw that matters were coming ton crisis, and took prompt resolution. He stepped back, pulled his double-barrelled pistols from his pockets, and presented them at the startled party. * Youave four,” he said, ** gen- tlomon, But we are five. If that order be not signed in five seconds, I give you my word of honor I will blow your braing out, beginning with tho Commandent’s there!” Ho owned he felt a little nervous, but he was determined. “Take care,” ho went on; ‘I mean what I egay. I am going to count. Oue—two— three—" At this _critical moment s side door was flung open, and a lady flung herself among themin a paroxysm of alarm, “Agreo! agreo! sho cried. “‘Oh, this is another revoltof thonegroes! Thinkof my Euor father and mother, whom they murdered in t. Domingo !” Alexandre owned that the Indy's mistake was excusable, considering his own mnatural tint (deepened by violent %ro\ming from the sun), and the peculiar character of hair and voice. But we may wonder at the ingensibility to rid- icule which could prompt him to set down such a jost at_his own expense.* _The truth was, ho was go_filled with vanity, that all the mcer senses became blunted, and he was even uncon- scions of the roars of laughter theso foolish con- fidences produced. The Commandant could not Tesist the entreatiesof his wife. Alexandre declared that he had infinite respect for the Iady, but_cntreated her husband to send her away, and let the men finieh the business. The poor Commandant protested that bis self- respect must be respected. He conld not de- cently yield to & single man. Alexandro then offerad to sign o paper, to tho offect tha the or- der had been extortnd at “the mouth of the pis- tol-barrel.” “Or would you prefer,” ho added, ‘-that I should fetch two or three of my com- panions, so that you should seem to have yielded to & more respectable forco?” The Commandant accepted this proposal, and Alexandre left him, bluntly declaring that no advantage must be taken of the delay or he would return and “blow all their brains out,” and that the whole party must give their parole of honor that they would remain exactly as they were. “Yes, yes," cried the lady. Alexandre made ker a low. bow, but declered that it was not_her parole that ho wanted. The Commandant gave what was required of bim, and Alexandre hurrying awsy, speedily re- turned with two or three of his men, whom he placed in the court, Opening the window he called to them, and bade them inform the gentle- men inside that they were ready to fire on them at the first signal: an appeal answered by the significant sound of the cocking of guns. The Commandant underatood, and going to his desk, wrote out & formal order. After this tho rest was eomparatively easy. The magazine was_broken .open, carts were procured and loaded, and at about 6 o'clock they were outside the town. Dumsas was 20 exhausted that he sank down on the grass, under s hedge, and fell fast fsleep. Roused up presently, he started on his journey, and by 8 o'clock reached Villers-Cot- terets, whera they found the supperready, which had been ordered the evening before. ~Aftera joviel meal theyset outonce more, and by 8 o'clock in the morning were close to Paris, at the post-house whence they had started. At9 he had presented himeelf, with his powder, at the Hotel de Ville, having ' triumphantly accom- plished the daring oxploit he had undertaken. * When Alexandre told this adventure, thers was_many o shrug of the shonlders and lond- seoffing laugh ; such a romance as this was not thought worth serious refutation, a8 coming from 8o amusing and notorious a gasconader— an ancomplimentary appreciation which he owed to the incurable vanity which always made him get his own figure in the most effective and dramatic _positions. But the story 18 pnrfeckl{ true, abating some harmless exaggeration. Itis to be found set forth in s modest official report ad- dressed to Lafayette, published by his dircction in the Moniteur of Aug. 9, 1830, and signed by Dumis and the friends who sssisted him in the expedition. The names of the various offi- cers whom he forced to submit to him are_given gt length. When the memoirs were published, in 1858, the son of tho Commandant, Liniers, did, indeed, come forward with an_indignant ¢reclamation,” to clear the memory of his fath- er, who was then dead, but his testimony, for he was actually present at_the scone in the Com- mandant's cabinet, only confirms Dumas” ac- count. The purport of the son's letter is merely this: that the town was already ripe for revolt before Dnmas’ arrival, and that when the latter Toturned with his friends, these were nssumed to be chiefs of the National Gpard; already known to bp disaffected. In ghort, that the officer yiclded not to Dumas, ‘but.to an overpowering force bebind him. His gon describes Dumas as parading his pistols, snd menacing the Commandant, but declares that the presenco of the four officers armed, 9nd intimidated, waq a fiction of the novelist. He admits, however, that ho himself and the Doveotasy—nibi Madume Gy _LIDIETS—WOre res- ent. _On tho whole, the adventure may be ac- ceptedin all faith, and reflects credit on the great raconteur.—All the Year Round. 0, mon ami, cede! c’est une seconde revolio des negres.” —_— FOUR FUNNY FABLES. Translated from the Persian of Zam= bri, the Parsces o A cat, weking out of a sound sleep, s2w & mouse eitting just out of reach, observing her. Perceiving that at the slightest movement of hers the mouse would recoflect an engagemen sh% puton & look of extreme amisbility, an said: “QOh! it's you, is it. Do youknow I thought, at first, gou were & friendly great rat; and Iam so afraid of rats | T feel 8o much relieved—you don’t know. Of course yon have heard that I am a great friend to the dear little mice.” Yes,” was the answer, “I have heard that Eau love us indifferently well, and my mission ere was to bless you while you slept. Bat as you will wish to go and get your breakfast, I Son't boreyou. Fine morning—isn't it? Au revoir 2" This fable teaches that it isusually safe to avoid one who pretends to be a friend without havirig any reason tobe. It wasn't sufe in this instance, however; for the cat went after that departing rodent, and ‘j'ft away with him, A hippopotamus, meeting an open alligator, spid to him: “ My forked friend, you may a8 well collapse. You are not sumcientzf( comprehensive to em- brace me. I am mygelf no tyro at smiling, when in the humor.” “Ireallyhad no expectation of taking you in," replied the other. “Ihave a habit of ex- tending my hospitality impartially to all, and sbout seven feet wide.” “ Yon remind me,” said the hippopotamus, 4 of & certain zebra, who was not vicious at all ; he morely kicked the breath out of everything that passed behind him, but did not seek to in- duce things to pass behind him.” It is quite immaterial what I remind you of,” was the reply. "The lesson imparted by this fable is & very ‘beautiful one. . < A sheep making a long journey found the heat of his fleece very uncomfortable, and, seeing a flock of other sheep in a fold, avi(ientfiv waiting for some one, lenped over and joined them, in the hope of Leing shorn. = Percéiving the shep- herd approaching, and the other sheep huddling into & remote corner of the fold, he shouldered his way forward, and, going up-to the shepherd, 8nid : ““Did you ever see such a lot of fools? It's Jucky I came along to set them an example of docility. _Secing mo operated upon, thoy'll be glad to offer themsolves.” ¢ Perhaps so, replied the B‘hegherd, laying hold of tho animal's horns; but I never kill more than one sheop at & time. Mutton won't keep in hot weather.” ‘The chops tasted execllently well with tomato sauce. . The moral of this fable isn’t what yon think itis. Itisthis: The chops of another man's mautton are always nice cating. Two travellers between Tcheran and Bagdad met half way up the vertical face of arock, on s E&thonly scubitin width. As both werein o urry and etiquette would allow neither to set his foot upon the other even if dignity had per- mitted prostration, they maintained for some time a stationary condition. After some reflec- tion they both decided to jump around the othor; but as etiquette did not warrant con- versetion with & stranger, neither made known his intention. The conssquence was they both ‘met, with considerable emphasis, about four feet from the edge of the path, and went through a flight of soaring eagles, & mile out of their way.* *This is infamous!
