VOL. XXIII. THE PARTY OF FRAUDS. Credit-Mobilier, Salary-Grab and Other Swindles. The lJoiiillioatn 'party Speech of Senator Thurman Waverly, Ohio.

at The opening cpeech of Ihe Ohio Democratic Campaign wa delivered at Waverly. on the nijrht of the 3d, by Heuaior Thuriuan. The apecch opened wiih a review of the rie and jro(rret nf the Uuion Faciflc and Credit -Mohi tier with reference to the corrupt tendency of the time, which made them poMHihle. and to the generosity of the Uoverumeut which pave away vast huqii of nublic land. The Senator proceeded: 1 have a list' of the etockboldert of the Mobilier, and I want lo call your aV.entfoa aonie oi tne names uu u.

Wefw any men in th rfuwrrf iiir nouna tuan any otn to prevvat tbo fraud contemplated; tomb the Gov 'nnienl out of fifty million of dolmr, thece men were the member of Conerew. becanwe thev had I ti fn their power to apply the suauuXy and to stop this thin? at any moment.

That was in the oowerof Con frcsn. and it was their duty to prevent such frand as this from being: committed.

But what are th rattB of the cape? In this Credit -MoWlwr swindle we find the name of John B. Alley, from He was one of the leading men in the Luion Pacific Railroad Com' pany. and in the Credit-Mobilier soon after its or irauization down to tbe end. Then there was Sam. uel Hooper, of Boston, one of the wealthiest hien there, and there was uUe A hies, of whom it is not necesafy for me to give any account, ile was another member from Maxachufetts.

Then we find the name of James W. (irimes, a Svimtttr from Iowa. Why, at the very tlm tces'e frauds were planned, at the. very time the means were adopted to pat them into execution, there were no lew than three members of the House of Kepre centaiWes and one member of the Senate that be longed to the Credit-Mobilier Company, by whose neency ana ut wnom wesc wrongs were to De But it did not stop there. hav" tKs testi mony in that printed report tbat this thing was so bad that oue of tfte Plrcciora--forthe Government had five but they were perfectly power--reported these villainies to the Secretary of "if interior a leaning Kepuniican wno.

Let us see about these TruBteea-thest; mert who became, bv the means that HAVB told von. th aosoiuie comromng power ot these two companies, by ihe proxies that they held, elected Boards of Directors of either one of those companies at their pleasure Thomas C.

i ne omn allow a Democrat to see inside of the doors of that nrison-house. The bus iness of that company was as much a sealed book to every Democrat in this land as if it hfld never existed the world, is Democrat, in Congress or out, had any access inm that dark recess where these villainies Were being carried on. The whole thinjr waa done by Republicans, and, what is worm, two out or those seven 'lYnstfies wpn nwnra memoers oi congress, whose oaths of omce for oaae tneir aoing anything of that sort- Thev ot alarmed about that.

How did Ames iro about it? wu.nroi? nm. vent an investigation by Congress. He first approaches the Speaker of the House of Renresenta-ttves, whowaa then Schuyler Colfax. What does he propose to Schuyler Colfax? Me propose to let him have twenty share of tht ri--L- th Credit-Mo Ml ier.

What did he want of Schuyler? SchuyU4was an infiiteuiial man, or he could not be Speaker of the House of Representatives, the coramiiiees of the Honse of Representatives are appointed by tbe Speaker; and if a resolution to iiivestitraie were OUerea. the mmnilrttx tn gate would be appointed by Sckm ler. How ne cessary, therefore it was to have the Speaker on iuc ciuc lucw vorrupnonisis-, ioai wocia appoint a committee to whitewash instead of to con vict, bo be approaches Bhiivler.

It looks pretty cheap lo buy a member of Congress fora thousand dollars; the idea of bnying adistin-gutshed statesman for But when you come to iook at it you will Hud it amonnts to much more.

After that Schuyler got to ice-i'refiaent or tne United Slates: mi id it further came to pass that iu IKVjJ ihe people beirau to get some inkling of these villainies. And how they got out! wUI tell you. It was no credit to any Republican member that the people got ou the track.

The people, in 1H72. srot to know sommhino tuif nuu, tir hi cuppcui uuu tuen iNcnuyiei comes out and protest oh! good man and Chris tian statesman ne lectures to iouug Men's Chris tian Associations and bund ay-schools, when be is not engaged in writing political letiers or political speeches and protests, in (iod's name. never had one dollar's Interest In the Credit-Mobilier in all bis life I Audibe rest follow suit; I think II that were implicated. He swore he didn't have noiiar interest in the Credit-Mobilier. Now, what are the facts? I will not p-o nvor th pitiful story of Schuyler's decline and fall how he went over day after day to swear himself ciear: but old Ames only pinned him dirwn ami until the whole country, and especially everylMKly at Washington, felt humiliated that Ihe Vice-President of the Vnited Stales should amu-Mr in de graded a position as that.

He was the first man pitroachea. i ne next was james ttiaine, or Maine, a very ad inland iuHueniia) man. Ames did uu-. ceed in fastening it on him, but he was approached it is so stated by Amos, and also by Blaine imseir. Who next Mr.

John was Chairman of the Judiciary the House of Representatives, a com mittee whose business it would be, if an hivestitra ion took place, to decide whether those proceed ngs were lawful or not. whellier they went not vi- lanons or ihe charier or the company, and li so.

hat steps the (iovenmient out-lit to take; and so was very important to have the Chairman or the nnilittee of the Judiciarv: therefore Ames let him have twtee mt much as he lei the common fry have.

Now, gentlemen, you see Iks Ftft already in -oiiKreBM doim K. AH- Amos himself, aud Sauiu el li done-- Hut It was necessary to streuglhei their fpfces in Congress, so that they could keep down investigation; so they went td work in ihis corrupt way lo buy up leading members of the Republican party meaning to prevent any investigation, hy did they not try to buv up members of the Democratic party They did not fear if tney could keep iit pubiicnn ntchibcr oh their side. Ieinocraia might g't np and plead till they were hoarse, but Republicans would get up and cholfe it off.

Now these inat'epsof which I have spoken are all proved by sworn testimony, and the books of the Railroad Company, and the books of the Credit-Mobilier.

There is testimony in that volume repot of the committee, to prove every a-sertion 1 haye rnado. It Is a sad story to tell; a story that disgraces the country; that has disgraced it in the eyes of the world, and that will forever disgrace it unless the people shall repudiate it in the manner they onght to do. And say to my Republican friends, if any are here, that while I do not hold the mass of the Republican party ftt all responsible for the villainies of these representative men of theirs, they will be responsible if they sustain such men in power. If they will not apply the proper remedy, and scout these dfshoher men, aud send honest men into their places, they take part of their guilt npon their own shoulders. But, gentlemen, yon mnst not think that this Credit-Mobilier business is the only rascality.

Add yet they let the rascals stay in office I have already shown that while the expenditure in Ohio maa mc c.rciiiin ure to jvrKau-as was although Ohio has two millions of people and Arkansas has less than half a million. What is the reason The Altoniev-General hints that it was incident al to the enforcement of the Ku-Klux law; hut here comes the thing, right in his own report, that hit the nail on the ad, and that is, that the Marshals did not report the conviction of one single Ku-Klux; in fact they did not make any reports at all. Now let me make a comnarison. Von have eighty common pleas courts, in all 176 courts, that sit in tins Mate, without counting the Supreme Court, or the Superior Court In Cincinnati you have iu Ohio liMi courts, and they hold, iu the ourst of the year, uearlv or nuitf 4 without counting your probate courts.

Now. in the State of AikmiHiw. in th W.it.rti District, where were spent, there is but one court of the United Slates, and that court ioUIs but two terms, and those terms need not be over three or four weeks each in duration, and yet, while ihe entire judicial cost of litigation in'the State of Ohio, as bhown by the report of your Secretary of State, is less than 3ou.0OO, where here are courts, and 4dO nf nmrtH ml the business of peonle. the cost of litis one court, holding hut two terms, exceeded the whole amount of litigation for the entire State of Ohio. How is that? Mark, these were the cxnenscs of 187-2.

How came that money In be expended there Why was nr 1 might mention 1 he expenses of North Carolina, which were more than those of Ohio, with a million less of oeonle. How is that There is but oneway of accounting for it. This. Stata of Arkansas was considered a doubtful Stale last year 11 was the year of tbe Presidential election. rant was a candidate ror the Presidency and here was great danger that he would lose Arkan sas; in point of act be did lose.

There was a ma- nty tu Ihe Stale for Greeley, but thev were cheated out of Ihe vote by the Republican Governor rejecting whole counties, and giving the major- to traut. there was a daum-r of Arkaiisas iro- ingfor Greeley, nd it was uecessary to use money there; and of the people's money was used there put in the hands of Marshals and Iis- ncl Attorneys of the United States. And to this ay. as appears from tbat rejiort. they never had I iron 10 tne expenditure of that money, 'hat became of it? Ii is utterly impossible that could have been nsed for legitimate purposes, 'hy is il their reuorts are not nnole nri produced as to what went with ihat money? It is the same old story in North Carolina, although not to so large au extent.

w-l me show you more ihat it cannot be re-f-rred to the enforcement of the Ku-Klux law. In londa, wun a population of lrvT.TW not aiip. tenth of Ohio the expenses were half as much as those of Ohio. hy was that? Florida was also considered a doubtful State. But was at expenditure cansed by Ku K'ux transaction no nut report one single conviction In all that State 1 Let us compare Florida ilh Delaware.

The xpendittirtt in ihe latter Slate was while in londa It was 4.IM)U, eight limes Ihe amount ex- nded in Delaware. It was of no use to expend money in Delaware that Slate was sale. In Khodc -land, hich contains a population larger an Florida, they spent while in Florida ey spent four limes that amount. It. wiih not e'essary to spend money to elect Grant tn Khode Maud; Florida presented a very different state of affairs.

If he docs not succeed, he at least shows where the money iroes. I would like to show you. from the report of the Treasury Department itself, made nearly two years airo. that the defalcations of officers iu the Internal Revenue Department then exceeded two millions of dollars. There had been a report showing the defalcations to be twenty million and odd dollars but ihat was because their arcnunts hud not been siMtK'd.

and to correct this misapprehension a re-pofl came to Congress to show the real state of the case, from which it appeared that Ihe defalcations amonnied to the enormdus sum of over two mili- iom or dollars. Now. how ni any of these defaulters are in the penitentiary, where they ought to he Not one. On the contrary, has the Government set the ex ample of disconrauing defalcation! Look at the defalcation of Paymaster Hodge, in his office at Walii UK-ton. riffht under the evef of the President of ihe United States, The defalcation, was over $100:000 In on, sipple Paymaster's aeropnt.

But he had been allowed to go on, embarking in stock speculations until he became a ruined man and cold no lonrr hid, hln deflciences: I'h was tried by a Court-martial, found guilty, and wiis sentenced to imprisonment in the Albany Peuiten-tiary for, I think, a term of ten years. Now 'his was a case, of all others, that ought to have been made an example of, lecause the occurred right under the nose of the President. It was a defalcation in the army of the United States, which otierht to be the embodi ment of honor, ns for tbe tdst part It is: And wimt became oi mm tiy, tne man was not allowed to remain in prison a single yeaf; the President pardoned him out and he now walks the streets of Washington as free a man as Grant himself.

On another occasion, in the case of the Assistant-Treasurer of New York, there was an embezzlement of over one hundred thousand dollars in stamps, and the man who embezzled them is as free to-day as he was before he committed the great case riant tne Treasury 01 tne united Stater. There wa an etnhezzlement ritrht in the office of Spinner, tbe Register of the Treasury, of or sixty-one thousand dollars. 1 he money is gone and a bill is peuding before Congress to relieve Spinner from all responsibility, and I venture to the Ri'ittthlicitnM will nriss It, If those thlntfM are allowed JO the piafe rVht uud-r the eye of ihe Administration and the President, what hope have we of an honest Administration without a chan fret 1 must have one word on the salary -grab; if I don't do so it. will be said I dodged it.

auu finally i voted against therefore a-'fiiuet the appropriation bul it self. I did not wait for the public clamor to tell me that 1 should not take that back pay. ithin two or three days after its passage iudeed, I believe on the very day after the hill became a law by the sismatuns Of President fram i rusoRed; ai.d srt did rny fculleiigtie In the tscpatc lo Ids honor, be it said that not one dollar of that money would be ever touched by us; and just as soon as ine aepanmeui ncciciea mat 11 as uecet-sary it cover it into the Treasury, that is. to put it en tire bevond the oower of auy one to draw it thai moment I did cover it in that way. And shall go back to Washington next winter to endeavor to repeal that law with just the same earn-nestness thai I voted against il from beginning to end.

Now. who Id beaten fl tiatae Is responsible fof that law? Senator Morion says it was not a party question at all, and that the Republican party are not responsible for it. Why, they applied a very different rule td us in time gone b'y. itad not the Hepublicans an nfru heiuong matoruy 111 Hruise of Representatives? Had they not a major ity of three to one, and more than this, in the Senate Had thev not the President of the United Slates, whose simple veto would have prevented that disgraceful affair becoming a law? How was it when the Missouri Compromise was repeal ed!" Thu majority of the Democrats in Congress voted against ihat repeal, when alt the Northern Demorrnw voted it and the repeal as ctr-ried by the voice of tbe Southern Democrats and Southern Whigs, when it was said that was not a party meat-11 re. they replied, the Democrats have a majority of both branches, and you have the President, who can veto tbe bill therefore you are responsible for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.

And they said it with such effect ihat where- the year before that repeal we carried Ohio by a iremetiduUs majority, the next election after the repeal We were defeated by over K0.0X) That Is how Democrats were held responsible when they were in power. That is how ihey applied it to us. But when it cohies to the salary-grab, they say: Oh, don't hold us responsible." But we say the party having Ihe majority in both branches, with he resident, is responsible ior ine legislation in Cougress. Who believes that mil would have bassed if President Grant had but hooked his little flntrer? Itwoulrt.no piprt have fcfasfled than yon can live without breathing the vital air. It was known he was in favor of it.

But supposing he had not been, he had only to say, 'I veto this aud it would have been as dead as a stone. Instead of that. Grant said: "Approved. U. S.

Grant, President of the United States," and it is put on the records of the Government. Il will not do to say now that thev are not responsible for that thing: I could, if I had time, show you by the votes cast upon that occasion where the responsibility rests Dy tne action ot tne party leauers, oui 1 win not do so except in one single case. In that case the gentleman has seen fit to come into this State to instruct you how lo vote In the proirress of that bill they dared not intro duce this iucrcase of salary in an iiidetwndent bill, It thev had done so it would have been defeated. They have moved it as au amendment to the a- propnation bill, and that cut oil debate ny moving the previous question. Iu the Senate we were limited lo five-miuute speeches, so we had no chance to talk.

That was the cunning way they acted. Now. the appropriation had passed the House of Representatives ad come to the Senate, where it was amended in certain particulars. As it came from the House of Representatives this salary grab was not in it. But these men were lying in wan during tne last expiring hours of Congress to perpetrate this thing.

So they waited until the bill came back to the House of Representatives, when Benjamin F. Bullcr moved this salary grab as an amendment to an amendment made by the Senate iucieaslng the salary of the President, Vice- 'resident. Cabinet officers, heads of bureaus, di vers clerks, and dually members of Congress, thus making it go back so as to pay them for iwo years work which had already been paid for by the House of tcepresentaiives. When ihe bill came back to the Senate there was a test vote on the amendment. An amendment was moved by Mr.

Edmonds, of Vermont, to strike out all the House amendments except so much as related to the President's salary. If that amendment hud prevailed, the whole effect of the 0111 wouia nave neen to raise tne I'resitieni sala ry, and no Mugle member or Congress would have had a dollar additional pay. and his salary would not have been raised at all. That was a test vote, and had it prevailed it would have killed he salary grab, except so far as tne fresment of he United Slates was concerned, and it would have cut down the amount of the grab from one and a half million dollars to one hundred thousand dollars. Thai was a pretty good reduction, and I uld very cheerfully have voted for it.

Thai. I say. was a test vote, and everybody knew if it prevailed there would have been an end to ihe salary grub. And where in Ihis vote was found the name of Senator Morton? He i oled against that amendment: he voted I to keep the salary irnib in the bill, and 1 yet this Senator of Indiana conies here and tells! you he was opposed to raising the salaries.

Now who are the true leaders, who of all others aspire to be considered leaders of the Republican iirty 111 tne neiiater or ew lorK, and Morion, of Indiana. Both of these men voted against that amendment of Mr.

Edmunds, and 'oted to keep the salary grab 111 Ihe hill. I here so were Senators CariH'iiler.

I hey proved of him from top to toe.

They nike no exception as far as Grant is concerned. tirihcr down this Convention condemns this in- rease of salary in very strong terms. This Con- ntioii. mat condemns memttcrs 01 congress with L'ttrd lo tlii? bill, has no word of condemnation General Grant, without whom this bill would never have become a law, and whose signature, after il passed the House, marie it a law. What respect hat- Grant shown for the opinion of the Republican parly, when they say they condemn this law I think the muiorilv must and do condemn it.

SStill on thev went. quicker and quicker, till they came to a ereat castle, shaped like a if lit antic four- post bedstead, and Bertie found himself in a room rather Digger man ou raui Cathedral.

All around the room there were ranged bedsteads of every shape, size and pattern, from the one big enough for a full-grown person to the cot of the little child. You may be sure our hero looked with all his eyes. in tne center stoou an enormous table, covered with everything nice you can think of cake, eggs, ham and hot tea and coffee were sending up a pleasant steam, and all the good things teemed to say, C'otne. eat me-" He was very glad to see the nice breakfast, for he felt frightfully hungry. Just then he heard some music, and a long procession of children entered, followed by the lady of the house.

They marched three times around the room, and then sat down to the table, where they began to eat and drink in first-rate style. Bertie thought the mistress of the house the strangest figure he had ever seen. She was very tall and straight; her dress was composed of a skirt of striped bed-ticking; the body and panier were made of plaid ticking, with-a border of gray -goose feathers all round her head looked like browB wool, and on her hair she wore a onir white pillow-case edged with straw. He was astonished that no one took the slightest hotice of him; and as he felt rather too bashful to speak first iu this strange house, he turned round-to Inspect the other beds. To his surprise he found they were all occupied by the most miserable-looking set of young people you can imagine.

Tbev took no notice of each other or of Bertie, but kCbt their heavy eyes fixed on the lady of the house, so the boy looked back again at her. Oh, the way the good things were being aten! and everybody looked mel'ry, well, happy, and wide awake. Well, folks," said the old ladt and what have you all been doing this morning?"

"I have lit the fire for mother, because she had a headache," chirruped a very tiny country child.

The old lady looked quite pleasant again, and said, "iou have all done very ell there no harm in being late when one is ill; but to be idle, and lie in bed hen you ought to be np, ball!" and her nose curled she seemed so angry that Bertie felt afraid.

Then she turned to the, people in the beds, and threw each of them a piece of dry bread, after which she and her follow ers went briskly out. Immediately the table sunk through the floor and was gone. "Now, shaver, you'd better eat that, for 's all you'll get," 3'awned a voice from the opposite corner, and Bertie found it roceeded from a lat, sleepy-looking boy of about sixteen. "All I shall get!" repeated he, in dis may; "I can't eat dry bread." Yon will have to, and glad to get it, before the week's out." What shall I do, then? not stay in ere, shall 1 inquired Herbert, very ide-awake indeed now. Wbv.

ves. of course vou will vou used jo like to lie in bed, didn't you?" es," said isertie. Very well that's why you are here. and you'll lie in bed for ever. What are ou crying tor, simpleton? i suppose ou wanted to do so before you came, or se the Fairy Uaitlazee would not nave fetched Oh, dear, dear! what shall 1 do?" cried Bertie.

"I want to get up and I shall." "Well, try to," grinned te other boy. He did try am' found he could not move; so he cried more nun more; uu uie others snored. His friend, who told him his name was am Sleepyhead, mumbled, "He would soon like ll lliai ue nimseii nan oeen there more than a year, and that it would be all right when lie got used to it." "Oh, what shall I do? Isn't there any way of getting out of this?" groaned Bertie. "Yes, there must be some way," replied Sam, "because I've seen a gooil many go out and be with the others; but what an idiot any one would be who'd go out to work when he could lie in bed all day and he gave a yawn that quite shook the room. Bertie did not think so; and as he wag very hungry, he ate his bread, and thought and thought about some means of getting away.

Well, lie lay there for a week all the amusement he had was hearing his companions snore, ad seeing the lively work, ers come in to breakfast, tea, dinner and supper, and have everything nice, while be and the "lie-abeds" had only dry bread at every meal. At last at the end of the week he made his mind up to a very daring proceeding, anJ while they were at breakfast he called cut as loudly as he could, "Oh, please Mrs. Fair', do let me get up I am so tired of staying here; I am so sick of this bed." The fairy looked up, and put her spec taclcs on, to see who had dared to speak to her. Oh, it's you. is it.

No. I can't believe what you say. Idleness leads to falsehood. You told the maid you were dressing, when you know you were doing nothing of the kind. No, no, 1 csn't believe what you sleepy people say." Bertie blushed to the eves at ihe remem brance the falsehood be had told, but he stammered out, Oh, please, Fairy, it is the truth: I'll work as hard as vou like.

and never be idle any more; do try me, pray!" very well," said uie iairy, severely; I'll try you. But let me only find you getting lazy again, and back you come here lor good, jninu, 1 warn you, ana I'm Fairy Haitlazee." In a moment Be tie found himself dressed and in a garden, among a lot of boys, digging away as busily as possible. He felt so giad to be out in the open air again that he worked with a will, and had such an appetite that when it came round to dinner-time his piece of bread tasted nicer than any cake he had ever eaten. After dinner he went to work again with a good heart; and when he and his companions turned into their beds (not the one he had occupied before), he had hardly laid his head on the pillow before he was fast asleep. The next morning when the bell rang he felt very tired, aud just for a minute or two thought of lying a little longer just five minutes but he began to feel sleepy and heard a sound like a loud snore from" the next bed.

He was warned in time. jumped up in a hurry and set to work Ke a man. The week passed he had done all he had to do well, when the fairy said, "So far so good you can dine to-day at my table." Bertie accepted this invitation with great delight, and a famous good dinner he had. He staved there some time, but at last he felt such a longing to return home that he could think of nothing else. So after a day or two he ventured to ask the fairy for permission to leave the palace.

She consented readily, auu ne iouna him self rocking through the air. Presently he felt a shock and a bump, and found himself lying on the floor, with his head a wash-hand basin, near ins ueu at home. He dressed hastily and ran down stairs. where he saw his mother by the window watering the roses. Oil, mother dear, 1 am so glad to be home again he cried, hugging her.

His mother seemed puzzled: "Back again why, where have you been what do you mean? Why are you so late down Bertie said he had been to fairyland. and told her all about it. Mrs. Marston laughed. "More likely dreamland." she said.

"But I hope the warning will do yu good, and that we shall never have to call you lazy Bertie again." Little JulK. A Baby that Lives in a Bag. That Is a droll place for a baby to live in a fur-bair. Baby boys and girls wouldn't like it very well, but for baby Kangaroos it is just the thing. Most four-footed mothers, you know, make a snng nursery for the little ones.

some of them under the ground, and others among rocks and other quiet laces, but nature has provided mamma Kangaroo with the snuggest place of all. It is a sort of a bag on the under side of her body. When the baby is born it is not so large as a mouse, and of course it can't do anything but drink milk and grow. Bo it stays in the bag till it is eight or nine months old, and begins to want to see the world. After that the little lellow puts its head out now and then and takes a nibble the erass while its mother is eating.

At last it comes out and hops about a little, but for a long time, till it is able to take careofitself.it goes back into its cozy, warm nursery very often. And if the mother suspects any danger and she's very shy I can tell you she just take the little one in the bag, and away they go. You have, probably, seen a picture of a Kangaroo, and you know what long hind less this careful mamma has, and what comical little fore legs. That is because she is made for hopping. Such hops or rather leaps you never saw; sometimes thirty feet at a jump.

Besides the immense hind leirs she has a very large and strong tail that is as good as another leg to help to Jump. She can get over the ground faster than a horse. Her fore-legs arc not of much use to her when she's in a hurry, but she can walk if Bhe likes, and a droll walk it is. She puts her fore-feet on the ground, and rests on them and the stiff tail, while she jerks forward her long hind legs. So she gets on, after a fashion.

This curious animal has four toes on her hind feet, and on one of them she has a fearful nail, which she knows how to use when hunters' dogs come too near. She has also another wagon for these impertinent dogs, and that is her tail. Thu useful member not only serves as a fifth leg, but as a club. When dogs near enough she gives them dreadful blows with it. The one I'm telling about is the Giant Kangaroo, and is about four feet high when sitting up.

There are about fifty species known, of all sizes, down lo one not so big as a rat. In the Malay Islands the smaller kinds are often caught aud tamed. They are extremely graceful and pretty pets. Kangaroos are sociable fellows; sometimes a hunter will come upon a dozen of them, sitting up on their hind legs, and apparently holding council together, probably discussing the weather and the state of the grass. Unfortunately for their own comfort, they are very good to eat, and their white teeth are in great demand among the dark- skinned natives lor beads, so they are frequently hunted, and have need to put the baby in the bag, and jump their best.

Sometimes they are caught in Australia in nets. They are driven on to them, and while entautrled are killed with clubs. They have another way of dealing with hunting dogs besides striking with their tails. If there is water near they go in up to the shoulders, and then, woe to the dog who dares to go near! The Kangaroo will seize him and hold him under water till he drowns. Kamraroos live in the woods, and one kind, the Tree Kangaroo, even lives in the trees and eats leaves and fruit.

One little fellow, belonging to the family, is called the Jerboa Kangaroo. He is about as large as a rabbit and very pretty. He leaps over the ground like his bigger relations, and makes a funny house for himself. Hunting up a little hollow among the grass, he builds a roof of grass and leaves which looks much like the grass around it. Most people would pass the little house twenty times a day and never see it.

When the cunning little fellow can't find grass near bv that is long enough, he goes otl'till he finds some, and proceeds to cut down as much as he wants. He then rolls his tail around it so as to make it into a bundle or bale perhaps I ought to say and hops away to his nest wiih the load. When the house is done, and the babies in it, the mother is very careful to close the door, when she goes out, by drawing a wisp of grass before it. These little babies, you see, have uo nice fur bag to ride in. Uliee Thornc, in Christian Union.
