NEW YORK, June 2.—The Evening Post says : It was learned late this af ternoon on trustworthy authority that four or fiye desperate and determined attempts have been made to corrupt the jury iu the Sharp case. The prose cution has been engaged in trying to trace the etforts directly to the defend ant, but have not so far succededin do ing ao. They have however traced these efforts sufficiently close to the friends of the defendant as to leave no doubt as to the intention of the per sons making the attempts. District Attorney Martine declined to say any thing on the subject, but would not deny that such attempts had been made. There is no donbt, however, as to the truth of the reports, as the information on the subject was obtained from a person in a position to speak with au thority on the matter, and whose ve locity cannot be questioned. Indeed ho would have no object in stating aught but tne truth, lie does not wish,however, to be quoted. It is said on the same authority, that the per emptory challenging by the people of Mr. McLewee was in consequence of certain information they had received in connection with the attempts at m bracery. Intelligent Artillery Horses. I once saw a youug soldier who be longed to a battery of artillery engag ed in patching the holes in his guidon (a marker's flag) with cloth from the lining of his uniform. When I asked him why he spent so much time to mend that old flag, his answer was,that as we are so far from the base of sup plies he conld not get a new one, and that when the battery went into action with thirty-six horses and six guns he always stuck the pike of the guidon in to the ground where the battery was to to form, and eyen if the man who rode the leading horse was killed or disabled, and the noise of the battle was so great that the bugle-call could not be heard, the horses would wheel around the fl ig and execute the maneuver known as by left into line, and bring the muzzles of the six guns on a line with the flag, and then as soon as the gnns were unlim bered, he would agaiu place it about two hundred paces to the rear, and the horses would galop to the rear with the caisons and halt again on a line with it. Is there not a beautiful sentiment in the thought of those noble horses kcow ing the flag and rallying to it ? TilK. 111,1 K IIKVS CIIU'kKNS. An Old Follow, Who Was Much Taken Willi Something New In llie Chieken Line. 'Wall, fur mercy's sake, look tliar, pap,' saiil a woman, dressed in faded calico and dim gingham. The old fel low stopped and the woman pointed at a lot of colored eggs which had been left over from Easter, and which the grocer had temptingly arranged in front of his store. 'Look thar,' the woman repeated, pointing at the eggs. •They air a new wrinkle on my ho'n,' said the old fellow, taking up one of the eggs and examining it. 'These here,' he added, addressing the grocer who approached, 'muster boon laid by one uy the ole blue hen's chickens.' 'They are descendants from the old blue hen, sure enough,' the grocer re plied, who showed an accommodating quickness to tell a he, either through courtesy or with an eye to business. 'You don't say so.' 'Yes, sir, and 1 bought them for Mr. Garland, who sent mo word some time ago to get him a few if 1 possibly could.' 'Wall, (ius ought to know what good chickens air.' 'He undoubtedly does.' 'Wall, I've heard about the old blue hen's chickens all my life, but this is the fust time I ever seed any uv the aigs.' 'They are not very plentiful now,' said the grocer. 'ln fact they are brought ui> by the agents of monopolies and sent north for the use of rich rail road men.' 'The chickens, I reckon, lay over the common run of fowls.' 'As much, sir,as day lays over night.' 'What special advantage have they got V 'Well, they lay three times a day, for one thing.' 'Now, look here, vcu don't mean that.' 'I reckon lie do, pap,' the woman de clared. 'I know in reason that he do, for Aunt Caroline Wtlsh that had soiue in Xo'th Kliny, told me jest befo' she ditu that they wuz the outlayenist things she ever seed, an' says she, 'Ev erline, I do b'leve that the aigs is fresh er than the aigs uv these here common chickens.'' 'She was right,' said the grocer. 'Mr. Garland tells me that the eggs will keep tor years without spoiling, but,' he add ed, laughingly, 'if hedon't mind he will find that they don't keep so well after all, for if he dosen't come after them pretty soon I'll sell tin m. A business man can't afford to let his money lie idle, you know.' 'That's a fact,' the farmer replied. 'Now, what mout they l>e wurth ?' 'Well, I hardly know. Where do you liye ?' •On Sal it e river, about two days ride from here.' 'Do you come to town very often ?' 'Fust time 1 wuz ever here.' 'I thought that if you came to town very often I might engage you to bring me a lot of the chickens "when they hatch. Tell you what I'll do. I'll let you have all six of them for sixty cents.' 'Ain't that a putty heavy price ?' 'Oh, 110, pap,' said the woman. 'Jest think uy chickens that lay aigs—fresh ones at that—three times a day.' 'All right,' s.iil tne old fellow, haul ing out the toe of an old sock and shak ing a few dimes from it ; 'l'll take \m. Shore they'll hatch ?' 'Hatch ! Why you can cover them up with an old straw hat and they'll hatch. Much obliged. Well, call a fcs'n.' When the grocer went back into the store, he slapped himself, laughed up roarously and then said : 'lt may be wrong to cheat this way. but I don't believe we are called upon to have sympathy for such ignorant people; and, besides, he'd cheat me in a minute if he could.' Several weeks later an old fe'low drove up to the grocery store and ask ed a man who came out to the curb stone if he wanted to buy any guinea chickens. 'Fresh as they ken be an' ai re uly cleaned,' said the old fellow. 'What do you ask for them ?' 'Wall. I don't know whut they air wuth. You sec they air mighty big ones.' 'Tes, I see. How many have you g)t ?' 'Fifteen.' 'There is not much sale for guineas.' 'Tney ought to be worth ten cents a piece, oughtent they ?' The grocer, with shrewd hesitancy, replied: 'I don't know. Well, drive round to the back door and put them out.' Immediately after receiving his mon ey the old fellow drove down town, and with a woman who seemed to be his wife, was standing on a street corner, when the grocer who had bought the guineas rushed up and exclaimed ; •You are a lying wolf, that's what you are !' 'What's the matter V' 'You sold me a lot of buzzards, you old wretch, and I am going to have you anvsted if you don't give me back my money. One of my best customers bought one and then, discovering what it was, struck me oyer the head with it and then left the store.' 'W'y, pap, that was too bad, wan't it ?' said the woman. 'I recognize you now,' said the gro cer. stepping back. *Yas,' said the old fellow, 'an—hut don't be in a hurry. Didn't know the blue hen's chickens when you seed 'em. eh ? W'y I thought you knowd all a bout the breed. Say, whenever you want any more, jest let me know. They lay three times a day, you know, but I'm sorry that the chickens ain't as fresh as the aigs. When jou come out my way, drap in to see me.'— Arkansaw Traveler. A Question of Fees. "Yes, said a pompous young law. yer 011 a street car to a friend; I hadn't been down a half an hour this morn ing before I got a fee of 810. Then the eyes of a man who was hanging on a strap began to bi Ige. "I say young feller, he v bispered earnestly , "what saloon d'ye work at? I'm a waiter myself."— [Puck, Detectlvea and "iTookn." Julian Ralph says in one of his New York letters: It is a boast of iho de tectives that they are personally ac quainted witli all professional criminals in and near town. The results of this acquaintance are often peculiar. You are talking with Detective Prior a few feet from the door of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and he sees a young dandy halt a few feet away. 'Better keep right on,' he says to the dandy, 'hurry up now.' 'Oil, good morning,' says the dandy. •I'm only going to set my watch.' That is Kid Miller, chief of the bunco men, and the detective will not allow him to stop in front of the hotel. You are pushing your way into a shopping store and a little ladylike body is just ahead of you. Suddenly someone steps up to her and roughly orders her to 'Get out at once.' 'Certainly, sir.' she says very meekly, 'I was only going to match a piece of silk.' Shi lies ; she is a shop lifter and the man who ordered her out is a detective. Perhaps you are at the Arion ball, with its stkH) dancers and lookers on. You walk in the lobby near the en trance for a breath of air and uieet Cap tain Williams, in uniform, alert and handsome as an eagle. He darts from your side and stands in front of a stout, elderly, well-dressed gentleman so as to oppose his progress. 'What do you mean by coming here ?' he says. The man answers ooldly : 'My wife is here and 1 have come to take her home.' 'That'll do now,' says the Captain ; 'there's the door; get 1' and .as Arteunis Ward used to say, 'lie gets.' Of course, the man is a pickpocket. A neatly dressed, rather substantial looking man of middle age sends in his card to Inspector Byrnes at police headquai ters. The name on that card is that of a burglar better known by an alias, say 'lied Leary,' for instance. 'Well, what do you want ?' Mr. Byrnes asks grudly. He has an especial tone for men of that class and it is a tone that forbids familiarity and suggests mastery, a very different tone from the quiet and easy one he lias for his friends. 'I would like to be in Wall stmt 15 minutes to-morrow, Inspector,' says the burglar. 'I want to see about a personal matter.' 'I will haveona of mv corps meet you at Broad and Wall streets at noon, sharp,' says tho Insjec tor. The burglar thanked the official, for it is a favor to such a man even to be allowed to go to the money centre with a detective at his shoulder all the time he is there. To go without this per mission and escort means a certainty of being arrested and locked up. Forms of Taking an Oath. Quite a chapter might be written up on the methods of taking oaths in var ious countries in both ancient and mod err: times. In some parts of China a witness is sworn upon a saucer at the moment he takes the oath. In Egypt the custom prevailed -of swearing by the goose. This is said to have been on account of the veneration in which the goose was held in that country. In Madagascar the people swear eith er by their sovereign or by their mother, and there are two forms of witnessing the oath, one to 'strike the \\at*r,' and the other to l sie:ir the calf.' According to Oldlield, in his *Exi>e dition into the interior of Africa, by the Niger,' at Iddah, placing a naked sword or knife to the throat is looked upon us the strongest proof of inno cence, and the most solemn form of oath they can administer. In this man ner the King is sworn, or sometimes at the point of a poisoned arrow. We learn from 'Bruce's Travels' that in Abyssinia a much less savage form of swearidg is m use. Ho says: 'They took the two fore-tingers of my right hand, one after the other, and kissed them—a form of swearing used there, at least among those who call them selves Christians. The most ancient form of swearing of which we have any record is that mentioned in the Bible inGenesis,where Abraham swearing his oldest servant, required him to place his hand under his (Abraham's) thigh. This form is mentioned in several places in the Old Testament. Anciently the Jews swore by Jerusalem, by the temple, by the God of Israel, and also by broken glass, this last form being similar to the Chi nese custom of breaking a saucer a gainst the witness box. The ancient Greeks and Romans swore by Jupiter, Minerva, Neptune, and other gods and godesses, laying their head upon the altar of divinity sworn by taking a particularly solemn oath ; the ancient Germans by their gods, by their swords and by their beards; the Scandinavians, beside ap pealing to the gods, touched a bloody ring in the hands of a priest. The Hin doo swears by the Oeda, and a Moham medan is sworn on the Koran. A Brave Woman. Sister Maria Theresa a French nun, who has lately been decorated with the cross of Lpgion of Honor for forty years' service in ttie army ambu lances, seems to ho not only a biuvo but a merry woman. During a time of hard fighting in Tonquin, a bomb fell iuto an ambulance full of wound'd men. Si3ter Theresa seized the bomb and carried it to a distance. When she set it down it exploded, but, luckily, not till she had time to throw herself flat on the ground. Her assistants rushed up in terror, and found her un conscious and covered with hi nd. When she regained her senses she ut tered her customary phrase, "It's only a joke," an expression which has since become hei nickname. At another time she was tending a wounded man, when she was struck by a passing plinter from a chargo of metruille ; but her quiet observation was merely, a9 usual, "It's only a joke." At the cer emony of the decoration, none of the customary formalities were omitted, The general who |conferre 1 the title clievaliere on the braye nun touched her with his sword on her both shoul ders, and finally brushed her cheek with his white mustaches. —First-class job work done at the JOURNAL office. Some ltetiinrl'iible t'uts. •Did you ever notice how cats take to drug stores V said a commercial travel er for a drug house. 'Half the drug stores hi thu towns on my route have one or more cats about. I never found till recently why cats have such a weak ness for drug stores. One of my cus tomers who owned a big cat that had loafed around his place several 'jears explained the mutter to me. The cat followed hitn around behind the coun ter, rubbed against him and purred like a bur/, saw. 'She's teasing for her morning drink,' said the druggist. 'Then he took down the extract of valerian and put some on the floor. The cat made a dive for it.snilTed it eagerly, and in about a minute she WHS hilari ously drunk. She rolled over on tlte floor, squirmed about on her hack, and behaved in a most Indecorous manner. The drunk lasted alwut five minutes. Then the cat staggered off and climbed on the prescription case. Always aft r the drunk she is cross as a tiger. •The smartest cats I meet on my travels aie a pair, mother and son, in a hotel or billiard room at Cleveland. They play oue-ba'l juiol with rare skill. The kitten w ill start the ball and nound across the table after it. Then tlte old cat will catch It, and send it back so swift that the kitten has to humu him self to nail it. Finally the mother will give the ball a push into one of the pockets, and when the kitten dives dOA*n into the slot after it the old cat will pounce on him and hold him in the pocket until he howls for quarter. 4 1 stopped in Washington on my wny home,and while visiting a friend in the treasury building ho sltowtd me the worst wreck of a cat I tyer saw. Its fur was ail singed off. The cat came to the treasury u uier a republican ad ministration and formed a wide ac quaintance among the officeholders in the building. She didn't take kindly to the democrat or two who came into the treasury under the new administra tion, and she was especially Incensed when a dog entered her domain. One day Hector, the piesident's dog, saun tered over in search of some plebian dog to whip. The cat indignantly sltin ed up the Hue of an unused tire place and there remained over an hour. A department clerk lighted the gas over his desk and threw the match into the fire place on some waste paper. The paper ignited, £ and iu about a minute there was a wild yell and the cat tumbled down out of the Hue a singed and smoking ruin.' Miiry and Her Luntb. Tne well Known nursery song, begin ning Mary had a little lamb. It's fleece was white us snow, was founded on an incident of real life, and, the heroine, Mary, is at the pres ent time a benign lady of some 70 years of age. Mary was born on a faim i.ear Worcester county, Massachusetts, Hint very fond was site during her early childhood of i tinning about over the fields with her father. One day tiny found a young lamb numb with cold and hall starved, its mother having died during ttie night. Mary's kind heart was touched, and lifting tlm half de.ul annual in Iter aims shecarritd it to the house, made a l>td for it near the kitchen fire, and in due time Jimub ed it back to life and health. In return for Iter kind services the lamb becan e very much attached t> Mary. It followed her to SCIIOJI ONE day. Which was against tin- rule ; Mary hid it under ler desk, and all went well until she was called 10 the teacher's desk to tecite her les."< n, when the lamb walked after her, at.d "made the children laugh and play." The teacher was obliged to turn it out and shut it up in an adjoining wo< d shed until such time as Mary could take it home. A young student, hear ing of the incident, wrote the thyme so familiar to all. The lamb lived to a good old age, and Mary wore several pairs of stockings made from its lleece, one pair ol which figured not so very long ago at a church fair in Massachu setts, where they were sold for a big price as a curious re'ic of the old days which furnished the inc.dent of John Rollstone's story in verse about "Mary and her little lamb."

I came a cross a wonderfully sensible paper treat ing of the use of snakes. The lorg black snake is especially useful. lie goes into the dense swamps, warms himself among the reeds and flags, and devours thousands of scorpions and liz ards, which, without his timely inter ference, would become too numerous. So, you see, everything, even the black snake, is useful,being created for a pur pose.' 'That is all very well,' one of the rev erend gentleman's Msteners replied. 'We recognize the usefulness of the snake, because he devours scorpions and lizards, but. of what use, pray tell me, tire the scorpions and lizards ?' 'They eat innumerable insects,' the minister triumphantly replied. 'All right; but of what use are the in sects ?' 'The insects ? Why-er—they serve as food for lizards.' 'Yes; but of what use are the lizards? 'Why, you must lie blind not to see that they serve as food for snakes.' 'Of course I see that, but that only brings up the question of what use are the snakes ?' 'To eat lite lizards, 1 tell you.
