Their Solemnity to be Belled On, Bat Their Voire Against Them. New York Sun. "Are owls ever caught to be sold as pets?" "Yes, occasionally. Tho best way to catch them is to surprise them in a nest in an old hollow tree. Boys tie a stocking to the end of a long polo and run the pole cautiously down the in side of the tree through the opening. Instinctively the old owl, to protect her young, turns on her buck in the mid dle of the nest, and is ready, with her claws in the air, to tight anything that that comes. Slowly the stocking de scends, and as it touches the bird tho strong claws and beak are tearing it to pieces. The boy pulls on tho pole, and the owl is so busy lighting and sputter ing that it is at the top and iu the boy's arms before it-shall I say tumbles? Then the boy has to look out for him self. If he escapes with torn clothing while he is descending the tree and put ting the owl in a b:tg he is a lucky boy. "They are usually kopt in a parrot cago," continued the naturalist. "AH mv birds ore very tame, and will sub mit to be tickled on the head, and, I suspect, rather like it, though they look so solemn all tho while that I laugh outright sometimes at the notion of toying with a thing that has eye like saucers and seems to be perpetually meditating on the infinite Their tem pers vary. The European horned owl sets up a fierce hissing, snapping, and barking noise when first captured, or when provoked with a stick. Tho American great horned owl barks like a dog, and, when it lets itself loose, gets to be a nuisance in the house, for it can hallo with a loud hoo-hoo-hoo-e, and can imitate to perfection the screams and gurglings of a chok ing or drowning person. Tho screech owl is easily tamed and is gentlo. The Acadian owl is the only kind of owl in this country which wanders into cities. It is caught occasionally in old belfries or in desortod or nnoccupiod houses. It is seeking for mice. It makes a noise like a saw-mill at work, and is commouly known as tho 'Saw whet' owl. On that account it is ob jectionable as a pet. The barrod owl found in the southern states makes a sound like an affected laugh. It is called the buffoon of the woods. Some people keep it in their houses to catch mice." "Can owls learn tricks?" "Yes, some simple ones, liko eating out of your hand, seizing tho end of a rope in your hand and letting you swing them around in a circle, coming to you at the sound of their name, climbing the balustrade in your hall, or jumping through a hoop. Tho solemn air thoy carry all the whilo makes them amusing." Nimln's Government Cigar Factor)', Chicago Tribune. Miss Emma Stratton, of New York city, writes a letter from Seville do scribing the government cigar factory of Spain, 700 foet long and almost as wide, very dirty, and in tho vestibule 250 girls make cigarettes, all tulking as loud as they want to ; 100 girls in the next room doing the same; and on tho next floor 3,000 wonion as close as sar dines in a box, in a single room, making cigars, some having their babies witli them not a month old, and dogs lying on the tobacco stems. The women wero divided up into sevens at each table, three on each side and tho mistress at the top. Around each table wero shelves against stone pillars, on which lay children's shoes, socks, and clothes. There w ere stone jars of water hero and there for drinking, and tho air was stilling, and the buzz of conversation only brosrn by the wail of tho bubio-i. The floor was dilapidated, and it was possible for an incautious visitor to fall through. Two other side apartments 100 feet long wore both packed with laborers. The factory consumes 10, 000 pounds of tobacco a day, and em ploys over 5,000 persons,-who receive. 50 cents a day for twelve hours' work. The matron at each table gets her pay from the women she communis, 'Ihe girls and the superintendents had very little manners. Comment on the Corpus.

Pf.O.Time Translation from Horace Bertin. I. She had como, one snmmor Sunday, to erect hor canvas booth under the poplars of tho village of Le fours, not very far from tho church. On either side of the entrauco there was a Muring painting representing lions of enormous ske, with open jaws and waving manes rising upon thoir hind legs as though seeking to devour tho spectators. The peasants, especially the women, felt cold chills rim down their backs; and in spite of the pressing appeals of tho doorkeeper, no one dared for a long time, to enter tho interior. At last when tho tax-collector who was an ex-officer of zouaves made up his mind to cross tho threshold of tho menagerio, some of the villagers sum moned up courago enough to follow him. A boy moved back a sliding partition in tho cage, uud poked a big irou pitch fork between the bars. Then a lion was seen to rise np painfully an aged lion, all broken down and worn out a blear-eyed lion, whose fur was meagre and filthy, and whoso tail was all raw, excoriated, scabby. When he yawned, only a few stumps of teoth were visible in his jaws. Mndame Auguste drow a curtain aside, and introduced herself to the public. She had a thin face scarred with smallpox, and a nose liko an eagle's beak. Her faded velvet bodice and tights speckled with grease spots, nevertheless excited tho admira tion of tho country people She entered tho cage, brandishing a whip. The lion uttered a feeblo roar. Thore was a timid shrinking toward the door way on the part of thespoctators and some of the peasant women even had one foot on tiro street. A little girl sobbed with terror, and pulled at her mother's dress. Madame Augusto, however, flogged tho old lion ; and tho animal finally re signed himself to tho duty of leaping over a bar ; but only to lio down again immediately at the further end of his cage. Then the lion-tamer crouched down before tho animal, and, opening his mouth, thrust her pitted face again against his jaws. All tho spectators uttered a cry of horror, and tho women rushed out in uffriglit, communicating their panic to the whole crowd of urchins gathered at the door. A fow of tho men, seeing that tho tax-collector merely shrugged hi3 shoulders, held their ground. Madame Augusto then arose with a smile, and the performance was over. As they went out tho country folks discussed tho wonderful courago of tho lion-tamer ; and continued to ask ono another whether tho bars of tho cago wore really strong enough. Tho tax-collector was tho only ono who had a hard word for tho liou, when they tulked the thing over among his own circle. "Ho's limp as an old tobacco-quid," said he to the notary and the druggist; "I've seen a vory differ ent kind of lions in the province of Con stantino I1' n. Threo o'clock had just struck. The men of the village wero amusing them selves in various ways; some playing at piquet in tho tavern, others at ten-pins on tho public road. Tho women were hurrying by to disappear within the doors of the church, whero vespers were commencing. Tho peal of bells from tho steeple alone broke the silence of Le Cours, which soon appeared com pletely deserted. .Behind the canvas booths a thiu column of smoko was rising from tho roof of tho canary colored wagon, with its shafts iu air. Madamo Augusto was cooking in her traveling-cur. The menagerie was tranquil; the old lion continued to sleep, and tho menag erio boy had gone to the inn to seo whether Madame Auguste's horso and mule hud received their peck of oats. liut after a little while, the lion teased and harassed by ilios, opened one eye, moved his tail, and nibbed his head "against tho burs. Forthwith tho barred door by which Madame Auguste had entered the cage moved upon its hinges, and stood ajar. It had not been properly secured, and nobody had observed the fact not even tho lion, who had lain down more content edly than usual after the departure of his mistress. The captive pushed his muzzle against the door, looked before him, and after a moment's hesitation, leaped into the booth. Ho proceeded very slowly, very cunningly, and poked his head through tho calico curtains which concealed the entrance of tho menagerie from the public. Lo Goura had all the aspect of an uninhabited place. Tho lion stepped into the streot and halted again. Then ho recommenced his promenade, but very timidly, with an embarrassed air a3 though very distrustful and supremely suspicious. Ono would have thought that ho had already regretted having proceeded so far; and every once in awhile ho would turn his head half-round to look at his domicilo. Nevertheless ho skirted the church-wall, and finally took np his po sition under the porch, without making the slightest noise. Tho church doors had leen left wide open, be cause of the heat, and within a profound silence reigned, broken only by the outbursts of tho preacher's voice from the pulpit, and the mod music of the crickets from the neighboring trees. The priest had ouly just commenced his sermon ; and the peasant women in thoir rows of straw-bottomed chairs, were either listening or yielding to the drow siness of the hot day. Jt was the beadle who first perceived the enormous shadow of tho lion upon the wall of the porch. He let his hal berd fall to tho pavement, and cried out in a voice half-choked by terror "There's the lion!" The whole congregation was imme diately seized with unutterable terror. Chairs and benches were overturned in all directions. Homo rm-hed toward tho organ-loft, others to the door of tho sacristy, others to the high altar. White as sheets, and with eyes wild with fear, the women shrieked belples ly or uttered nameless cries. Tho children yelled, and called upon their mothers to save thera. Sev. ral peasant wr men almott died of fright, and huddled to gether in the nave, actually holding their breath from terror. Peoplo trampled each other on tho pulpit stairs behind the altar on either side of the sanctuary railing. Prayer books, chuplets, benches, stools, can dlesticks and censors wero scattered on the floor. Tho beadle had barricaded himself withiu the confessional; tho chanter, whose face was fully lit by a gush of light from the window, was livid, anil his knees woro knocking to gether almost violently enough to break tho bones. A little boy that had squeezed himself under a big chair thrust out from betwixt tho rungs a foco comically distorted by toars of terror. The sacristau had run up tho steeple stairs, and was ringing the bell with all his might, as if thero was a conflagiation to ho extinguished. Tho fow women who had succeeded in get ting out of tho church with tho first rush, were running through all tho streets of tho village, throwing up their arms, and screaming for help. The priest alone who, from tho height of his pulpit had seen tho wild beast walk quietly away tried to re establish some calm among the faithful, liut his voice was lost in tho tumult of tho panic; and already, from all tho houses, drinking-plocos, club-rooms, taverns, etc., men were running to the scene armed w ith Lefnuchoux revolvers, pitchforks, spits, and billiard queues. Tho lion, indood, had very quietly re traced his way to tho menagerie, as soon as he had heard the beadle's hal berd fall on tho church pavement. Madame Auguste at once rushed at her boarder, raining lashes upon him with her whip, and hurried him into the cage, with many kicks iu the hinder portion of his emaciated body. Hut tho whole village had boon ter rified. Headed by the tax-colloctor, who had takon down an old revolvor from his panoply, the peasants poured into tho booth ; and, iu spite of the supplicatious and even toars of tho lion-tamer, who clasped their knees in her vaiu despair, thoy put tho muzzles of their weapons to tho poor brute's head aud blew his bruins out. Ono peasant even carried his ferocity so fur as to shove a billiard cuo down the lion's throat. Tho village folks seemed to have loon wrought up to a pitch of uuheard-of fury; and every possible term of abuse, invective, and insult wero lavished upon the wretehod animal's carcass. "And now," shouted tho tax collector to Mine. Auguste, who had almost fainted with grief, "now this will teach vou that I have never been afraid of lions!" in. Madamo Auguste long remained motionless with griof aud despair. Her lion represented all her earthly posses sions, her only resources besides, ho had grown old in tho menagerio, aud his submission, his docility, were extra ordinary. Sho would not think of re maining any longer in tho midst of such peoplo; and Bhogave orders to pack up and leave town that vory evening. Put at tho approach of nightfall tho sky clouded up quickly and heavily. . A furious wind came whistling through the trees, tearing away the leaves and whirling them abroad, and tho thunder began to roar in the distance. Nevertheless, Madamo Auguste's two wagons left the village by tho highroad. Tho storm burst over tho country. Be tween the shafts of tho traveling wagon trotted a great big mule from w hose Hanks tho rain-water poured in streams. The old horse who pulled tho other vehicle containing tho carcass of the liou, hung his head sadly under the furious downpour. Tho thunder rollod madly overhead ; an, by tho light of the lightning, Madame Auguste showed her tear-streaming faeo at tho littlo buck window of her wagon and at in tervals Hung the epithet, cowards 1 into the great tumult of tho tempust. Children's Charitable Clan. Washington Letter, Tho Children's Christinas club, of which the president's daughter, li ttlo Nell, is president, gavo a Christmas feast to poor children, and throe other clubs, tho outgrow th of this, gave din ners in other sections of tho city ; so over 2,000 youngsters had a vision of good living far ahead of their ex pectations. The club which has gained a national prominence, was started by Miss Marion West, tho daughter of Commissioner West of the district, tho day aftor Thanksgiving among a littlo group of acquaintances. Miss West, by the way, claims San Francisco as her birthplace, and it has reason to be proud of a gen tle young lady who has made so many poor homes happy. Miss Nellie Arthur accepted tho presidency of tho club and with it considerable hard work, as she has had to sign hundreds of member ship card They not only gave the children all they could eat, but also all they could carry home in tho way of eatables and toys. I never saw such a crowd of delighted faces. President Arthur entered tho hall in timo to see a "Punch and Judy" show for the entertainment of the chil dren and took a seat very democratically in their midst. Such a scene wus probably never witnessed hero before. Nell Arthur sang with a chorus of girls. Tiny Tim's injunction, "God Bless Every One," is the watchword, and thn president, like simpler folks, wants his daughter to grow up generous and thoughtful. For a child of 11 years, petted and noticed as sho is, sho is not a bit spoiled by it all, and tamo attired in a simple blue worsted dress. The Christmas club is going to be a perma nent affair and expects to da much more next year. A White House Itoora. The Current. A room in the White House is decor ated in tho stylo of tho thir teenth century. It contains also a Japanese screen, tho por traits of firaut and Van Buren, a piece of tapestry hhowing Gutenberg reading aloud from his first block-letter bible, and furniture of cherry wood. Wlien, after tho lapse of a century or two, the decorative artists of that period search for specimens of nineteenth century decorations, they will doubtless find themselves a trille puzzled on entering this room.
