The following is Mark Twain's re- sponse to the toast ''Babies," at the banquet of the Army of the Tennessee, at Chicago, whieh was the humorous event of the occasion. The fifteenth ami last retrnlar toast was ' The Ba- bies?As they comfort us in our sor- rows, let us not forget them in our festivities;" anil to this Samuel L. Clemens responded. He said : I like that. We have not all had the good fortune to be ladies. We have not all been Generals, or poets or statesmen, but when the toast works down to the babies, we stand ou com- mon ground [laughter] for we have all I been babies. [Renewed laughter.] It is a shame that for a thousand years the world's banquets have utterly ig- nored the baby [laughter] a-* if it didn't amount to anything. [Laugh- ter] If you will stop and think a minute; if you will go back fifty or one hundred years to your early mar- ried life [laughter] and reeontemplate your first baby, you will remember that he amounted to a good deal, and even something over. [Roars] You soldiers all know that when the little fellow arrived at family headquarters you had to hand in your resignation. [Laughter.] He took entire command. You became his lackey ; his mere body servant, [laughter] and you had to stand around, too. [Renewed laugh- ter.) He was not a commander who made allowance for time, distance, weather or anything else. [Convulsive screams.] You had to execute his order whether it was possible or not [roars] and there was only one form of marching in his manual of tactics, and that was the double quick. [Shouts.] He treated you with every sort of in- solence and disrespect, [laughter] and the bravest of you didn't dare say a word. [Great laughter.] You could face the death storm of Donaldson and Yicksburg, and gave back blow for blow, but when he clawed your whis- kers, pulled your hair and twisted your nose, you had to take it. [Roars.] When the thunders of war were sound- ing in your ears you set your faces toward the batteries and advanced with steady tread, but when he turned on the terrors of his war-whoop [laugh- ter] you advanced in the other direc- tion, and mighty glad of the chance, too. [Renewed laughter.] When he called for soothing syrup did you ven- ture to throw out any side remarks about certain services being unbecom- ing an officer and a gentleman ? [Bois- terous laughter.] No, you got up and got it. [Great laughter.] When he ordered his "pap bottle," and it was not warm, did you talk back? [Laugh- ter.] Not you. [Renewed laughter.] You went to work and warmed it. [Shouts.] You even descended so far iu your mental office as to take a suck at that warm, insipid stuff, [laughter] just to see if it was right, three parts water to one of milk, [tumultuous laughter] a touch of sugar to modify the colic, [laughter] and a drop of peppermint to kill those immortal hic- coughs. -3P[Roars.] I can taste that stuff. [Laughter.] And how many things you learned as you went along. Sentimental young folks still take stock in that beautiful old saying* that when the baby smiles it is because the angels are whispering to him. Yery pretty, but too thin; simply wind on the stomach, my friends. [Shouts.] If the baby proposes to take a walk at his usual hour, two o'clock in the morning, [laughter] didn't you rise up promptly and remark, with a mental addition, which would not improve a Sunday School book much, [laughter] that that was the very thing you were about to propose yourself. [Great roars.] Oh, you were under good dis- cipline, [laughter] and as you went pattering up and down the room in an undress uniform [laughter] you not only prattled undignified baby-talk, but even tuned up your martial voices and tried to lung "Rock-a-by, Baby, in the tree-top," for instance. [Great laugh- ter.] What a spectacle for an army of the Tennessee! [laughter] and what an affliction for the neighbors, too, for it is not everybody within a mile around that likes military music at three o'clock in the morning. [Laugh- ter.] And when you had been keeping this thing up two or three hours, and your little velvet head intimated that nothing suited him like exercise ami noise, [laughter?"Go on"] what did you do? You simply went on until you dropped in the last ditch. [Laugh- ter.] The idea that a baby doesn't amount to anything ! Why, the baby is just a house and front yard full by itself. [Laughter.] One baby can fnrnish more business than you arid your whole Interior Department can attend to. [Laughter.] He is enter- prising, irrepressible, brim full of law- less activities. [Laughter ] Do what you please, you can't make him stay on the Reservation. [Great shouts.] Sufficient unto the day is one lately. [Laughter.] As long as you are iu your right mind, don't you ever pray for twins. [Laughter.] Mr. Clemens is the father of a pair. Twins amount to a permanent riot, [laughter] and ain't any real difference between trip- lets and an insurrection. [Uproarous shouts.] Yes, it was high time for a toast to the masses to recognize the importance of the babies. [Laughter.] Think what is in store for the present crop, fifty years from now. We shall I all lie dead, I trust, [laughter] and ! then this flag, if it still survives, and J let us hope it may, will be floating over a Republic numbering 200,000,000 i souls, according to the settled laws of j our increase. Our present schooner of State [laughter] will have grown into a political leviathan?a Great Eastern, i The cradled babies of to-day will be j on deck?let them be well trained, for I we are going to leave a big contract on their hands. (Laughter.) Among j the three or four million cradles now rocking in the land are some which | this nation would preserve for ages as saered things, if we could know which ones they are. In one of these era- dies the unconscious Farragut of the future is at this moment teething. (Laughter.)

(Laughter and applause ) TRAITS OF A NIMALS. A bullfrog recently caught at West- chester when opened was found to have swallowed a full-grown mouse. A cat was sent by express, carefully boxed, from Dansvillc to Rochester, a distance of fifty miles. Not many days afterward, tabby came walking into her old home. When a good housewife of Kirkaldy went for a ham that had hung from the rafters, it had a fair exterior, but it was a perfect shell, skin and bone only remaining to show its form, while the rat after living so sumptuously, had built a nest in the center, and was cap- tured. A parrot belonging to Capt. Eichel- bcrji i?r, of Baltimore, was always pres- ent at family prayers. One morning when in the garden, a hawk flew down and seized the parrot, when it shrieked : "Oh, Lord, save us! Oh. Lord, save us!" which so frightened the hawk that he dropped his prize. At Priest's Hotel, on the road from Calaveras Grove to the Yosemite, is a dog who one hour before the arrival of the stage goes leisurely down the road to meet it, then bounds back to the poultry yard, catches chickens, bites their heads off, and takes them to the cook. He takes one chicken for each gentleman in the stage, never making a mistake. An expert in antique coins in Paris is a poodle. The money being placed upon a table the dog is introduced, and after nosing among them will knock off the table all the bad pieces with his paw. After acquiring great fame it was found the whole thing was a trick. His master took care to han- dle only the bogus coins, and the poodle's decisions were arrived at by faculty of scent. A wandering "chippy" was picked up by a St. Louis lady and placed in the cage with her canary. In the morn- ing it was released, and then the canary mourned as if it had lost its mate. In the evening the chippy re- turned, j and was allowed to nestle on the cage, when the canary struck up one of the liveliest notes and seemed gratified. This was repeated for three days. Then chippy failed to return. The canary drooped and soon died. An enormous eagle in Georgia, swept down upon two little girls aged 3 and 5 year.*, throwing them to the ground. It buried its talons in the face and arm of the elder and attempted to carry off the child, but was pre- vented by her struggles. A little brother 7 years of age came to her as- sistance with a carving knife, slash- ing the eagle's legs, when it turned upon the bov, who was soon released by the appearance of Joe Betzler, a neighbor, upon the scene, who shot and killed the bird. It measured seven feet from tip to tip of wing A spider is a glutton, as was evinc- ed by an experiment recently made. A gentleman arose at daybreak and supplied a spider, who had an exten- sive web, with a fly. This was at 5:55 o'clock, a. nv, in September. The spider was then feeding on an earwig. He came for the fly, rolled him up, and returned to his first course. At T o'clock his earwig was demolished, and the flv at 8 o'clock. At !» o'clock he gave it a daddy-long-legs, which he ate at noon. At 1 he greedily seized [a blow fly, ami during the day he counted I'2o green flies, or midgets, all dead and fast in his net. WHAT WE ARE DOING. [Ainerii-un Manufacturer and Iron World. 1 Probably never in the history of the world have mechanical invention and scientific discovery been brought to !>ear so universally and effectually to cheapen and improve the products of industry as in the past ten years. Es- pecially has this been the ease in this country, until, with our manifold labor- saving appliances, we have been ena- bled to place our wares in all the lead- ing markets of the world, competing favorably with the poorly-paid ami cheap hand-labor of the older countries. The iron and steel industries are won- derful examples of the progress lpade, every step, from taking the ores from the mine to tin- finished product in tool i r machine, being cheapened by labor- saving inventions ; while science comes in to utilize what was formerly con- sidered worthless and magnify results in increased values. * Wast furnaces now turn out double the product of former years without increasing the size, and from many parts of the country we have been told that iron was made at from sll to sl4 per ton. Considering these facts, and the facilities now known of util- izing our abundant lean and cold short ores, many of our conservative and solid manufactures look with alarm upon the persistent efforts of some of our dealers to "talk up" prices and urge a yet greater advance. If pig iron can be made for sl4 per ton, or even at $1«, it is thought that it would NO. R>. bo best for the interests of trade that the prices ruling for the pa?t few weeks should not continue. The price of iron, like the price of bread, touches vitally so many industrial interests of the world that an advance of from 75 to over 100 per cent., in the face of great reductions in the eost. cannot but react in disaster. INGERSOL L'S RESPONSE. "The Volunteer Soldiers of the Union Army" was a toast at the Grant banquet in Chicago. It was responded to by Col. lugersoll as follows: They were the defenders of humanity, the destroyers of prejudice, the breakers of chains, and. in the name of the future, slew the monster of the time. They fin- ished what the soldiers of the Revolu- tion commenced. They have relit the torch that fell from their august hands and filled the world again with light. They blotted out from our statute-books the laws passed by hypocrites at the instigation of robbers [loud applause], and tore with brave and indignant hands from the Constitution of the United States that infamous clause that made men catchers of their fellow- men. [Applause.] They made it possi- ble for judges to be just, for statesmen to be humane, and for politicians to be honest. They broke the shackles from the limbs of slaves, from the souls of masters, and from the Northern brain. They kept our country on the map of the world, and our Hag in Heaven. [Applause.] They rolled the stone from the sepulchre of progress, and found there two angels clad in shining garments?Nationality and Liberty. [Loud applause.] The soldiers were the saviors of the Republic; they were the liberators of men. In writing the Proclamation of Emancipation, Lincoln, greatest of our mighty dead, whose memory is as gentle as a summer air when reapers sing amid gathered sheaves, copied with the pen what the grand hands of brave comrades had written with their swords [Applause.] Grander than the Greek, nobler than the Roman, the soldiers of the Republic, with patriot- ism as careless as the air, fought for the rights of others, for the nobility of labor, and battled that a mother might own her child, that arrogant idleness should uot scar the back of patient toil, and that our country should not be a many-headed monster made of warring States, but a nation sovereign, grand and free. [Applause.] Blood was water, money was leaves, and life was only common air, until one Hag floated over one Republic, without a master and without a slave. And then was asked the question, "Will a free people vol- untarily tax themselves to pay a na- tion's debt?" The soldiers went home to their waiting wives, to their glad children, and to the girls they loved. They went back to the fields, the shops, the mines. They had not been demoralized. Thev had not been en- nobled. [Cheers.] Mocking at reverses, laughing at poverty, they made a friend of toil. They said, "We saved the na- tion's life, and what is life without honor ?" They wo.k and wrought, with all of labor's royal sons, that ev- ery pledge the nation made might be re- deemed. And their great leader, hav- ing put a shining bond of friendship, a girdle of clasped and loving hands around the glolx;, came home to find, and finds, that every promise mado in war has now the ring and gleam of gold. [Enthusiastic cheers.] There is another question still. W ill all the wounds of war be healed? 1 an- swer, yes. The Southern people must submit. Not to the dictation of the North, but to a nation's will and a ver- dict of mankind. [Great applause.] They were wrong, and the time will come when they will say that the peo- ple are the victors who have been van- quished by the right. Freedom con- quered them and freedom will cultivate their fields, will educate their children, will weave robes of wealth, will ex- ecute the laws and fill their land with happy homes. [Applause] The soldiers of the Uniou saved the South as well as the North. They gave us a Nation. They gave us liberty here, and their grand victories have made tyranny the world over as insecure as snow upon the lips of volcanoes. [Ap- plause.] And now let us drink to the volun- teers, to those who sleep in unknown and sunken graves, whose names are known only to the hearts they loved aud left, of those who oft in happy dreams can see the footsteps of return. Let us drink to those who died where lifeless famine mocked at want. Let us drink to the maimed whose scars give modesty a tongue. Let us drink to those who dared and gave to chance the care and keeping of their lives. Let us drink to all the living and to all the dead?to Sherman, and to Sheridan, and to Grant, the laureled soldiers of this world, aikl last to Lin- coln, whose loving life, lik'; a bow of peace, spans aud arches all the clouds of war. WHO PAYS THE COSTS * At every term of Court speculation is indulged in as to "who pays the cost'' in actions at law. The following will give the desired information: In the following cases the county is not liable to costs: 1. If the grand jury return a bill "ig- noramus"' in a case other than felony, and order the prosecutor to pay the costs, and the prosecutor having been sentenced to pay them, is committed, and then discharged according to law, without having paid them, the county is not liable to costs. 2. Nor is the county liable if a bill ltc founil "a true bill," and the defend- ant having been tried and acquitted, and ordered by the |>etit jury to pay them, and is committed and discharged according to law, the costs not being paid. 3. Nor if the defendant is acquitted and the prosecutor is ordered by the petit jury to pay the costs, who after being sentenced by the court to pay them, is committed and discharged ac- cording to law, the costs being unpaid. 4. Where a defendant indicted for a misdemeanor is acquitted by the petit jury, and the jury drk** not detero)irfe ADVEBTIBIMO KATEtt, One square, on* inrertioo, f1 ? each mhn qneut insertion, SO cents.

From the fact that the Crnzra is the oldee' established and moot extensively circulated Re Eublican newspaper in Butler county, (it ttepub can county J it must be apparent to buainee* men that it is the medium they should use in advertising their busiueee. whether the county, the prosecutor or the defendant shall pay the cost Of prosecution, as they are required to cfu by the act of Bth ef December, 1804, the costs are not to be paid by th« county. 5. Where an indictment has been re turned "a true bill," the prosecuting attorney cannot enter nolle prosequi without the consent of the court and charge the county with the costs of prosecution. In the following cases the county is liable to pay the costs: 1. Where a defendant is convicted by a jury and is legally discharged without having paid tho costs. 2. When in a case of surety of the peace the court directs the county to pay the costs. 3. When the grand jury igftore a bill and direct the county to pay the costs and when the petit jury acquit the defendant and direct the county to pay the costs. 4. In the case of felony, when the grand jury ignore the bill, and, when the defendant is acquitted by the petit jury. o. In all cases where the defendant is found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine and costs of prosecution, or give security to pay the same within ten days or go to jail, and defendant goes to jail and comes out under the bond act, the county is liable. LETTER FROM SCHWARTZ. PABKER, Dec. stb, ,1879. Messrs. Editors ?A friend has for- warded me a copy of the Butler Eagle dated Nov. 26, in which is a marked article from Cherry township, dated Nov. 7, by one "Timothy Tugraiitton," being an attempt at a comment on an article from me in your columns of my trip through Butler county. I say '?an attempt to comment" and a very poor one at that, as the writer exposes his ignorance and stupidity in more ways Than one. First, he spells my nom de plume wrong every time; will forgive him for that, as he perhaps cannot spell anything longer correct. He raves incessantly about "Dixmont," "tramps," "crazy people," which I can only account for on the purely philo- sophic principle, that a "burned child dreads fire," and "insane people see many terrors." "Timmy" has been there himself, consequently knows full well how it goes. He thinks I lived on acorns and chestnuts while out there. Well, he is mistaken. I bad lots of good wholesome hash, chicken and turkey, bread, pies, cakes, pud- dings, pickles, Ac, to the full. The friends where I stopped had plenty, had good things, too, and gave freely of what they possessed. The only danger was eating too much. I saw many, but did not see "Tim," or if I did I failed to recognize him, or I would have made a capture for the benefit of Barnum. 11c says that "some of the folks I spoke of are Over- seers of the Poor and authorized by law to arrest tramps, Ac., and have them cared for." I must conclude one of two things, either he is a very poor judge, or they are very derelict in their duty, and the latcer is not presumable, as there would have been "money in it." "They have made arrangements with the proper officers to arrest me, &c.," "next time Igo out." Well, I am going soon, and if they me sooner tell them to come and get me. Again, about the date of my letter, the liverymen of Parker'had the police out in Cherry- township on the hunt of a man named "Swartz." Does he know he lies? at least Chief of Police, W. P. Barr, says so. He told me so to-day. They never wanted any such person, in that place or arty other. "Tim" is raving again. He doubtless refers to the visits of the Butler Sheriff and constabulary about six or seven weeks earlier, on the hunt of nearly the whole of Cherry township and a few outsiders to appear in proper per- son before His Honor, Judge Bred in, aud, generally, they went, toq, for I saw them in Butler by the, dozen. ? Next, he proceeds to eulogffce Mr. Blnvk's boys, all except a "Black sheep'.' of that flock, at present in or near Parker, who is running a well on his own gas and, he intimates, etarv- iug or near it. Well, let me say that "black sheep" is all O K-; is making an honest living for himself and family; has a few cents in ready money, and would to-day have more if some of the Cherry township citizens would pay their honest debts, as he has account* against a few of them that he will sell for thirty cents on the dollar, "on time" and without interest, to a reliable party. Further, I don't tramp; pay all honest debts as fast as presented; don't charge anything for advice ; don't feel bad if it is not taken. Also, I pity poor Timothy T from the soles of my boots. 1 will gamble cents to j>earl buttons that he is u Democrat; that he is, or some of his friends have been, in an insane asylum someplace or, at least, should tie. His best hold at present is to keep still and not expose himself any more; think of the past, aud prepare fbr the future, and by the time they cau "run and support" a Sunday School in that corner, he may get a few ideas fordbd on him that will show him what an asinine creature he has been in the past. As Josh Billings would say, "His muchly," SCHWARTZ. P. S. ?l will give one dollar for his original manuscript copy intact, ft ia doubtless a literary curiosity. SCHWARTZ. AMONG the many scattering votes at the late New York State election was one in Syracuse reading thus: "For Gov? enor, The Devil." It has been said of many men that they would vote for the devil, if regularly nominated; this is, |»erhaps, the first case of actually-voting for him. JUIKIK JENKH has refused to hear % motion for the further postponement of the case of the Commonwealth against the Standard Oil Coqjpany now pood, ing in Clarion, and it will 1m called ufa Monday, December 15th. ft is iiigfe * time to make an end of that. ?Love is lowliness; on tbe w«d» ding rirjg *ptrV« ao >rwel.

MARK TWA IXON BABIES.

The following is Mark Twain's re-sponse to the toast ''Babies," at thebanquet of the Army of the Tennessee,at Chicago, whieh was the humorousevent of the occasion. The fifteenthami last retrnlar toast was ' The Ba-bies?As they comfort us in our sor-rows, let us not forget them in ourfestivities;" anil to this Samuel L.Clemens responded. He said :

I like that. We have not all had thegood fortune to be ladies. We havenot all been Generals, or poets orstatesmen, but when the toast worksdown to the babies, we stand ou com-mon ground [laughter] for we have all

I been babies. [Renewed laughter.] It

is a shame that for a thousand yearsthe world's banquets have utterly ig-nored the baby [laughter] a-* if itdidn't amount to anything. [Laugh-ter] If you will stop and think aminute; if you will go back fifty orone hundred years to your early mar-ried life [laughter] and reeontemplateyour first baby, you will rememberthat he amounted to a good deal, andeven something over. [Roars] Yousoldiers all know that when the littlefellow arrived at family headquartersyou had to hand in your resignation.[Laughter.] He took entire command.You became his lackey ; his mere bodyservant, [laughter] and you had tostand around, too. [Renewed laugh-ter.) He was not a commander whomade allowance for time, distance,weather or anything else. [Convulsivescreams.] You had to execute hisorder whether it was possible or not[roars] and there was only one form ofmarching in his manual of tactics, andthat was the double quick. [Shouts.]He treated you with every sort of in-solence and disrespect, [laughter] andthe bravest of you didn't dare say aword. [Great laughter.] You couldface the death storm of Donaldson andYicksburg, and gave back blow forblow, but when he clawed your whis-kers, pulled your hair and twistedyour nose, you had to take it. [Roars.]When the thunders of war were sound-ing in your ears you set your facestoward the batteries and advancedwith steady tread, but when he turnedon the terrors of his war-whoop [laugh-ter] you advanced in the other direc-tion, and mighty glad of the chance,too. [Renewed laughter.] When hecalled for soothing syrup did you ven-ture to throw out any side remarks

about certain services being unbecom-ing an officer and a gentleman ? [Bois-terous laughter.] No, you got up andgot it. [Great laughter.] When heordered his "pap bottle," and it wasnot warm, did you talk back? [Laugh-ter.] Not you. [Renewed laughter.]You went to work and warmed it.[Shouts.] You even descended so fariu your mental office as to take a suckat that warm, insipid stuff, [laughter]just to see if it was right, three partswater to one of milk, [tumultuouslaughter] a touch of sugar to modifythe colic, [laughter] and a drop ofpeppermint to kill those immortal hic-coughs. -3P[Roars.] I can taste thatstuff. [Laughter.] And how manythings you learned as you went along.Sentimental young folks still take stockin that beautiful old saying* that whenthe baby smiles it is because the angelsare whispering to him. Yery pretty,but too thin; simply wind on thestomach, my friends. [Shouts.] Ifthe baby proposes to take a walk at

his usual hour, two o'clock in themorning, [laughter] didn't you rise uppromptly and remark, with a mentaladdition, which would not improve aSunday School book much, [laughter]that that was the very thing you wereabout to propose yourself. [Greatroars.] Oh, you were under good dis-cipline, [laughter] and as you went

pattering up and down the room in anundress uniform [laughter] you notonly prattled undignified baby-talk, but

even tuned up your martial voices and

tried to lung "Rock-a-by, Baby, in thetree-top," for instance. [Great laugh-ter.] What a spectacle for an army of

the Tennessee! [laughter] and whatan affliction for the neighbors, too, forit is not everybody within a milearound that likes military music atthree o'clock in the morning. [Laugh-ter.] And when you had been keepingthis thing up two or three hours, andyour little velvet head intimated thatnothing suited him like exercise aminoise, [laughter?"Go on"] what didyou do? You simply went on untilyou dropped in the last ditch. [Laugh-ter.] The idea that a baby doesn'tamount to anything ! Why, the babyis just a house and front yard full byitself. [Laughter.] One baby canfnrnish more business than you aridyour whole Interior Department canattend to. [Laughter.] He is enter-prising, irrepressible, brim full of law-less activities. [Laughter ] Do whatyou please, you can't make him stayon the Reservation. [Great shouts.]Sufficient unto the day is one lately.[Laughter.] As long as you are iuyour right mind, don't you ever prayfor twins. [Laughter.] Mr. Clemensis the father of a pair. Twins amountto a permanent riot, [laughter] andain't any real difference between trip-lets and an insurrection. [Uproarousshouts.] Yes, it was high time for atoast to the masses to recognize theimportance of the babies. [Laughter.]Think what is in store for the presentcrop, fifty years from now. We shall

I all lie dead, I trust, [laughter] and! then this flag, if it still survives, and

J let us hope it may, will be floating overa Republic numbering 200,000,000

i souls, according to the settled laws ofj our increase. Our present schooner ofState [laughter] will have grown into

a political leviathan?a Great Eastern,

i The cradled babies of to-day will bej on deck?let them be well trained, for

I we are going to leave a big contracton their hands. (Laughter.) Among

TRAITS OF ANIMALS.

A bullfrog recently caught at West-chester when opened was found tohave swallowed a full-grown mouse.

A cat was sent by express, carefullyboxed, from Dansvillc to Rochester, adistance of fifty miles. Not manydays afterward, tabby came walkinginto her old home.

When a good housewife of Kirkaldywent for a ham that had hung fromthe rafters, it had a fair exterior, but itwas a perfect shell, skin and bone onlyremaining to show its form, while therat after living so sumptuously, hadbuilt a nest in the center, and was cap-tured.

A parrot belonging to Capt. Eichel-bcrji i?r, of Baltimore, was always pres-ent at family prayers. One morningwhen in the garden, a hawk flew downand seized the parrot, when it shrieked :

"Oh, Lord, save us! Oh. Lord, saveus!" which so frightened the hawkthat he dropped his prize.

At Priest's Hotel, on the road fromCalaveras Grove to the Yosemite, is adog who one hour before the arrival ofthe stage goes leisurely down the roadto meet it, then bounds back to thepoultry yard, catches chickens, bitestheir heads off, and takes them to thecook. He takes one chicken for eachgentleman in the stage, never makinga mistake.

An expert in antique coins in Parisis a poodle. The money being placedupon a table the dog is introduced,and after nosing among them willknock off the table all the bad pieceswith his paw. After acquiring greatfame it was found the whole thing wasa trick. His master took care to han-dle only the bogus coins, and thepoodle's decisions were arrived at byfaculty of scent.

A wandering "chippy" was pickedup by a St. Louis lady and placed in thecage with her canary. In the morn-ing it was released, and then thecanary mourned as if it had lost itsmate. In the evening the chippy re-turned, j and was allowed to nestle onthe cage, when the canary struck upone of the liveliest notes and seemedgratified. This was repeated for threedays. Then chippy failed to return.The canary drooped and soon died.

An enormous eagle in Georgia,swept down upon two little girls aged3 and 5 year.*, throwing them to theground. It buried its talons in theface and arm of the elder and attemptedto carry off the child, but was pre-vented by her struggles. A littlebrother 7 years of age came to her as-sistance with a carving knife, slash-ing the eagle's legs, when it turnedupon the bov, who was soon releasedby the appearance of Joe Betzler, aneighbor, upon the scene, who shotand killed the bird. Itmeasured sevenfeet from tip to tip of wing

A spider is a glutton, as was evinc-ed by an experiment recently made.A gentleman arose at daybreak andsupplied a spider, who had an exten-sive web, with a fly. This was at5:55 o'clock, a. nv, in September. Thespider was then feeding on an earwig.He came for the fly, rolled him up,and returned to his first course. At To'clock his earwig was demolished, andthe flv at 8 o'clock. At !» o'clock hegave it a daddy-long-legs, which he

ate at noon. At 1 he greedily seized[a blow fly, ami during the day he

counted I'2o green flies, or midgets, alldead and fast in his net.

WHAT WE ARE DOING.

[Ainerii-un Manufacturer and Iron World. 1Probably never in the history of the

world have mechanical invention andscientific discovery been brought to!>ear so universally and effectually tocheapen and improve the products ofindustry as in the past ten years. Es-pecially has this been the ease in thiscountry, until, with our manifold labor-saving appliances, we have been ena-bled to place our wares in all the lead-ing markets of the world, competingfavorably with the poorly-paid amicheap hand-labor of the older countries.The iron and steel industries are won-derful examples of the progress lpade,every step, from taking the ores fromthe mine to tin- finished product in tooli r machine, being cheapened by labor-saving inventions ; while science comesin to utilize what was formerly con-sidered worthless and magnify resultsin increased values. *

Wast furnaces now turn out doublethe product of former years withoutincreasing the size, and from manyparts of the country we have beentold that iron was made at from sll tosl4 per ton. Considering these facts,and the facilities now known of util-izing our abundant lean and cold shortores, many of our conservative andsolid manufactures look with alarmupon the persistent efforts of some ofour dealers to "talk up" prices andurge a yet greater advance. If pigiron can be made for sl4 per ton, oreven at $1«, it is thought that it would

NO. R>.

bo best for the interests of trade thatthe prices ruling for the pa?t few weeksshould not continue. The price ofiron, like the price of bread, touchesvitally so many industrial interests ofthe world that an advance of from 75to over 100 per cent., in the face ofgreat reductions in the eost. cannotbut react in disaster.

INGERSOL L'S RESPONSE.

"The Volunteer Soldiers of theUnion Army" was a toast at the Grantbanquet in Chicago. It was respondedto by Col. lugersoll as follows: Theywere the defenders of humanity, thedestroyers of prejudice, the breakers ofchains, and. in the name of the future,slew the monster ofthe time. They fin-ished what the soldiers of the Revolu-tion commenced. They have relit thetorch that fell from their august handsand filled the world again with light.They blotted out from our statute-booksthe laws passed by hypocrites at theinstigation of robbers [loud applause],and tore with brave and indignanthands from the Constitution of theUnited States that infamous clausethat made men catchers of their fellow-men. [Applause.] They made it possi-ble for judges to be just, for statesmento be humane, and for politicians to behonest. They broke the shackles fromthe limbs of slaves, from the souls of

masters, and from the Northern brain.They kept our country on the map ofthe world, and our Hag in Heaven.[Applause.] They rolled the stonefrom the sepulchre of progress, andfound there two angels clad in shininggarments?Nationality and Liberty.[Loud applause.]

The soldiers were the saviors of theRepublic; they were the liberators of

men. In writing the Proclamation ofEmancipation, Lincoln, greatest of ourmighty dead, whose memory is asgentle as a summer air when reaperssing amid gathered sheaves, copiedwith the pen what the grand hands ofbrave comrades had written with theirswords [Applause.] Grander than theGreek, nobler than the Roman, thesoldiers of the Republic, with patriot-ism as careless as the air, fought forthe rights of others, for the nobility oflabor, and battled that a mother mightown her child, that arrogant idlenessshould uot scar the back of patient toil,and that our country should not be amany-headed monster made of warringStates, but a nation sovereign, grandand free. [Applause.] Blood was water,money was leaves, and life was onlycommon air, until one Hag floated overone Republic, without a master andwithout a slave. And then was askedthe question, "Will a free people vol-untarily tax themselves to pay a na-tion's debt?" The soldiers went hometo their waiting wives, to their gladchildren, and to the girls they loved.They went back to the fields, theshops, the mines. They had not beendemoralized. Thev had not been en-nobled. [Cheers.] Mocking at reverses,laughing at poverty, they made a friendof toil. They said, "We saved the na-tion's life, and what is life withouthonor ?" They wo.k and wrought,with all of labor's royal sons, that ev-ery pledge the nation made might be re-deemed. And their great leader, hav-ing put a shining bond of friendship, agirdle of clasped and loving handsaround the glolx;, came home to find,and finds, that every promise mado inwar has now the ring and gleam ofgold. [Enthusiastic cheers.]

There is another question still. W illall the wounds of war be healed? 1 an-swer, yes. The Southern people mustsubmit. Not to the dictation of theNorth, but to a nation's will and a ver-dict of mankind. [Great applause.]They were wrong, and the time willcome when they will say that the peo-ple are the victors who have been van-quished by the right. Freedom con-quered them and freedom willcultivatetheir fields, will educate their children,will weave robes of wealth, will ex-ecute the laws and fill their land withhappy homes. [Applause] Thesoldiers of the Uniou saved the Southas well as the North. They gave us aNation. They gave us liberty here,and their grand victories have madetyranny the world over as insecure assnow upon the lips of volcanoes. [Ap-plause.]

And now let us drink to the volun-teers, to those who sleep in unknownand sunken graves, whose names areknown only to the hearts they lovedaud left, of those who oft in happydreams can see the footsteps of return.Let us drink to those who died wherelifeless famine mocked at want. Letus drink to the maimed whose scarsgive modesty a tongue. Let us drinkto those who dared and gave to chancethe care and keeping of their lives.Let us drink to all the living and toall the dead?to Sherman, and toSheridan, and to Grant, the laureledsoldiers of this world, aikl last to Lin-coln, whose loving life, lik'; a bow ofpeace, spans aud arches all the cloudsof war.

WHO PAYS THE COSTS *

At every term of Court speculation isindulged in as to "who pays the cost'' inactions at law. The following will givethe desired information:

In the following cases the county isnot liable to costs:

1. If the grand jury return a bill "ig-noramus"' in a case other than felony,

and order the prosecutor to pay thecosts, and the prosecutor having beensentenced to pay them, is committed,and then discharged according to law,without having paid them, the countyis not liable to costs.

2. Nor is the county liable if a billltc founil "a true bill," and the defend-ant having been tried and acquitted,and ordered by the |>etit jury to paythem, and is committed and dischargedaccording to law, the costs not beingpaid.

3. Nor if the defendant is acquittedand the prosecutor is ordered by thepetit jury to pay the costs, who afterbeing sentenced by the court to paythem, is committed and discharged ac-cording to law, the costs being unpaid.

4. Where a defendant indicted for amisdemeanor is acquitted by the petitjury, and the jury drk** not detero)irfe

whether the county, the prosecutor orthe defendant shall pay the cost Ofprosecution, as they are required to cfuby the act of Bth ef December, 1804,the costs are not to be paid by th«county.

5. Where an indictment has been returned "a true bill," the prosecutingattorney cannot enter nolle prosequiwithout the consent of the court andcharge the county with the costs ofprosecution.

In the following cases the county isliable to pay the costs:

LETTER FROM SCHWARTZ.

PABKER, Dec. stb, ,1879.Messrs. Editors ?A friend has for-

warded me a copy of the Butler Eagledated Nov. 26, in which is a markedarticle from Cherry township, datedNov. 7, by one "Timothy Tugraiitton,"being an attempt at a comment on anarticle from me in your columns ofmy trip through Butler county. Isay'?an attempt to comment" and a verypoor one at that, as the writer exposeshis ignorance and stupidity in moreways Than one. First, he spells mynom de plume wrong every time; willforgive him for that, as he perhapscannot spell anything longer correct.He raves incessantly about "Dixmont,""tramps," "crazy people," which I canonly account for on the purely philo-sophic principle, that a "burned childdreads fire," and "insane people seemany terrors." "Timmy" has beenthere himself, consequently knows fullwell how it goes. He thinks I livedon acorns and chestnuts while outthere. Well, he is mistaken. I badlots of good wholesome hash, chickenand turkey, bread, pies, cakes, pud-dings, pickles, Ac, to the full. Thefriends where I stopped had plenty,had good things, too, and gave freelyof what they possessed. The onlydanger was eating too much. I sawmany, but did not see "Tim," or if Idid I failed to recognize him, or Iwould have made a capture for thebenefit of Barnum. 11c says that"some of the folks I spoke ofare Over-seers of the Poor and authorized bylaw to arrest tramps, Ac., and havethem cared for." I must conclude oneof two things, either he is a very poorjudge, or they are very derelict in theirduty, and the latcer is not presumable,as there would have been "money init." "They have made arrangementswith the proper officers to arrest me,&c.," "next time Igo out." Well, Iam going soon, and if they mesooner tell them to come and get me.Again, about the date of my letter,the liverymen of Parker'had the policeout in Cherry- township on the huntof a man named "Swartz." Does heknow he lies? at least Chief of Police,W. P. Barr, says so. He told me soto-day. They never wanted any suchperson, in that place or arty other."Tim"is raving again. He doubtlessrefers to the visits of the Butler Sheriffand constabulary about six or sevenweeks earlier, on the hunt of nearlythe whole of Cherry township and afew outsiders to appear in proper per-son before His Honor, Judge Bred in,aud, generally, they went, toq, for Isaw them in Butler by the, dozen. ?

Next, he proceeds to eulogffce Mr.Blnvk's boys, all except a "Blacksheep'.' of that flock, at present in ornear Parker, who is running a well onhis own gas and, he intimates, etarv-iug or near it. Well, let me say that"black sheep" is all O K-; is makingan honest living for himself and family;has a few cents in ready money, andwould to-day have more if some of theCherry township citizens would paytheir honest debts, as he has account*against a few of them that he will sellfor thirty cents on the dollar, "on time"and without interest, to a reliableparty. Further, I don't tramp; payall honest debts as fast as presented;don't charge anything for advice ; don'tfeel bad if it is not taken. Also, Ipity poor Timothy T from thesoles of my boots. 1 will gamblecents to j>earl buttons that he is uDemocrat; that he is, or some of hisfriends have been, in an insane asylumsomeplace or, at least, should tie. Hisbest hold at present is to keep stilland not expose himself any more;think of the past, aud prepare fbr thefuture, and by the time they cau "runand support" a Sunday School in thatcorner, he may get a few ideas fordbdon him that will show him what anasinine creature he has been in the past.As Josh Billings would say,

"His muchly," SCHWARTZ.P. S.?l will give one dollar for his

original manuscript copy intact, ft iadoubtless a literary curiosity.

SCHWARTZ.

AMONG the many scattering votes atthe late New York State election wasone in Syracuse reading thus: "For Gov?enor, The Devil." It has been said ofmany men that they would vote for thedevil, if regularly nominated; this is,|»erhaps, the first case of actually-votingfor him.

JUIKIK JENKH has refused to hear %

motion for the further postponement ofthe case of the Commonwealth againstthe Standard Oil Coqjpany now pood,ing in Clarion, and it will 1m called ufaMonday, December 15th. ft is iiigfe *

time to make an end of that.
