Mr. Johns' Oeese.
Mr. Frank Johns who died a few
days ago, bad a - band of wild geese,
which he had tamed and which were
very fond of him.' While he was suffer-;
ng from his last illness, the geese
seemed to know there was something
seriously the matter with their master.
They were excluded from the room and
one of them named Mary made such a
constant and mournful noise that it was
finally admitted. - The goose jumped on
the bed and began billing among his
whiskers,, and laying its neck along ' side
of its master's with as great a show of
affection as it was- capable" of. - When
Mr. Johns died it seemed the fowls
were inconsolable. .They jumped on
the coffin, looking in all directions, but
realizing he was inside, and apparently
talking to each other about it, for they
made a great deal of noise. After he
was borne from the house they kept up
their vigil, walking solemnly around
where the coffin reposed, and still mak
ing those odd sounds which seemed like
they were conversing with each other.
There is no doubt they were grief-
stricken over Mr. Johns death, though
they may not have known that he was
forever removed from the things of earth.
At any rate the event shows that geese
are not the : foolish animals they are
popularly supposed to be, and that they
have the faculties of memory and affec
tion, along with the dog and the horse.
The-Steer Case.
At the trial 'before,-the city council
Saturday, ' or rather . investigation, the
evidence, with the exception of one
witness, Mr.' Myers, tended to shoV that
the steer which was killed was vicious,
obstinate and dangerous, and liable to
kill somebody if not killed or firmly
secured. It was shown that the second
steer was taken three miles away from
town and brought to the pound; the
marshal advertised its sale by posting
notices and at .the end of five days sold
it for a fraction over $13, the most of it
going to pay impounding fees. . Mr,
Harmon, the owner, was represented by
H. H. Rlddellj, who demanded only the
value of the two steers. . The council
was unable to decide the merits of the
case, and a motion prevailed that the'
judiciary committee confer with com
petent counsel and report, at . next
meeting. : " , '

HUtory of a Great Diamond.
The imperial treasury of Austria
contains the Florentine diamond, one
of the finest of the world, noted for its
luster and brilliancy It is said to be
worth four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and has a romantic history ' It
once belonged to Charles , the Bold,
duke of Burirundy, -who was rather
careless in guarding his treasures. lie
went to battle one day with this dia
mond in his pocket, and the result
was that he lost it. The diamond lay
on the road and a Swiss soldier picked
it up, and, looking upon it as a piece
of glass, threw it down again, but as it
fell the sun's rays caught it, and the
soldier thinking it a pretty trinket,
concluded to carry it along. Shortly
after this he showed it to a priest.
The priest admired it and gave him
two shillings for it. , The priest sold it
to a jeweler for two and sixpence, and
a rich merchant paid the jeweler twenty-five
hundred dollars for it. The
merchant sold it to an Italian duke for
one thousand dollars advance of his
price, and the duke sold it to one of
the popes, who paid sixty thousand
dollars. After a number of other ad
ventures it came into the possession of
a grand duke, who married Empress
Maria Theresa, of Austria, and through
her it came to the imperial treasury.
Canine Protectors. ;'' '
In an exhibition of trained wild ani
mals now open in New York a number
of large and very intelligent dogs are
always introduced into the cage with
the other beasts. This is : said to be
for the protection of the trainers, the
quick instinct of the dogs enabling1
them to discover instantly, any indica
tion of a dangerous temper- in the
lions or tigers. If there were a likeli
hood of the .men being attacked the
dogs would rush upon the wild creatures
and thus give sufficient warning to the
trainers to retire. : It is an exhibition
in which the men in charge run a very
serious risk.
