The watchful police- finan stepped gingerly aldng the sidewalks, Icasting many an apprehensive glance up Mark alleys and round wind-swept corners.

THE BEASOK FOB IT AI.li. v That was why the antique paradox, which in our childhood we so revered, that "the aooner you go to bed, the sooner morning .will come," was so often quoted that night around Schenley Park. And that was why so many bonny faces, flushed with the excitement which the dreamgod gives, were laid upon their pillows, full of glad antici pations of their first day's Zoo. And so "sleep winnowed o'er them his kind,kind wines.'" and from Alonongahela's banks to Allegheny, many a household was wrapt in slumber. Tint bark! What hideous sound, borne upon the affrighted breezes, "startled the dull ear or night?" A horrid roar arose from the moonlit dales . of the park and swelled across the housc- tops. Another roar still louder, another, and yet another, followed the first, in deaf- . Tening succession! 4f " In an instant, the neighborhood was . awake and listening. The policeman, in X alarm, ceased for a moment, his onward JVU j TlPtltom Solo With Chimpanzee Accompani v. ment. jmarch.

And this was what the Jion said: "My worthy kinsfolk,- although priority of speech is the right of the representative of the. oldest family of animals, you will readily agree with ne that that right cannot,- by us, be conceded, in view of the fact that that representative, the spontre, is ftotally without power of utterance.

I, for one, am happy in 'having gained several new acquaintances sinoe I arrived in this charming garden. Uow.'ioy friends, leisure without variety ii apt W wax monotonous. I am, therefore, anxious that an agreeable kind or friendly competition be gotten up, wherein all may loin, and to the winner ot which an appro priate prize may be presented. What say you to this project?" A tremendeus uproar of assent followed the llon'a speech. So terrific, indeed, was this sound that the police reserve guard was ,at once dispatched in the direction of Schen ley Park, and the veterans of Homewood and Oakland grasped their rifles and rushed out into the atreets, thinking that a new -rebellion hnrt beran. As soon as the hullabaloo had in some J measnre subsided, the lion coaUnHed: ' propose, therefore, that the animal which is able to make the most noise, in the shortest space of time, stall be the winner oi tne prize." "Oh, come offl" shrieked a foolhardy par rot, swinging in its .cage; "you want to get the prize yourself "Mv character, sir." replied his leonine majesty, with lofty disdain, "is too well es tablished to permit of any inch insinua tion." "Ihai'a what the Senator said when the Do, He, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Xebra, newspapers accused him of eloping with the boodle?" Queried the caustic parrot; but the lion merely tossed his royal mane, and awaited the answer of the crowd. A bnge amount of bellowing, screeching and chat tering followed the proposal; but finally, in spite of the parrot's protest, a majority of the inmates of the Zoo decided in its favor. WOESE TKAX BEDLAM. The noise-making contest accordingly be gan. The smaller animals uplifted their puny voices, the myriads of strange birds sang or screamed their loudest Then the great elephant trumpeted ferociously, and was only silenced when the zebra hee hawed in his usual dulcet manner. Jnst about the time when the lion himself was shaking the very park with his roars, the inhabitants of the Schenley Park dis trict had surrounded the park on every side terrified br this second Babel. Fathers, loosely attired in floating drapery.flewdown the dark streets, clubbing the gnn that had belched forth its deadly messages at Gettys burg, or flashing the saber that had been so gallantly wielded on the bloody field of An tietam. Youths who had not been born in the old heroic days snatched their great .English canes from the stand and prepared to deal death, if necessary. Police men bravely cheered the citizens on to the fight, while they themselves slipped round the corner to summon reinforcements. Old ladies, young ladies, and children wailed in unison, till several royally descended Gaels in the neighborhood of the Point imagined that their familr banshee was howling the death-song outside the window. The fire bell rang a general alarm, and from every quarter came the rattle of galloping horses, the jingle of chains, and the rumble of wagons. The new police telegraph flashed fire, murder' and thieves, to every street and station in the city. In a word, Pittsburg had gone crazy. THE BECOED BEATEK. During the final stages of the lion's per formance, the hippopotamus bobbed up serenelr from the center of his pond and determined to beat that noise or die. YThen a hippopotamus says he'll make a row, he is bound to do it. In this case the row the hippo made, beat the best record ever achieved, even by a hippopotamus. The roar of Waterloo was not in it with his roar; the thunders of Jove were mere whispers, compared to his bellow. He raised such a tornado that the very Government Building Commissioners awoke and began to look abont there. So jealous did the legions. of other ani mals become at his superior vocal powers that they resolved to howl Him down. It j -(raj no sooner said than done with them!. The word went round, and there arose to trembling heaven a combination o sound such as never- the immovable hllla bad echoed since first they were fashioned in the prehistoric days. So appalling was the shout hurled at the vault above that the mighty fountains of the clouds were shattered as in the Isthmian games ot yore, when the Boman Consul de clared the freedom of Greece and down poured the pitiless rain in drenching tor rents. What was the use of paterfamilias' sword or gun in such a rain as this? Back flew the shivering people to their homes for wraps and waterproofs. The fire wagons turned back; there was no need for them now. The police, however, kept bravely on. They were very gallant now, because they knew the rain would make their work easy, and everv unfortu nate wayfarer was promptly cudgeled and arrested on suspicion. DECIDEDLY THE VICTOn. But the rain had another good effect It dampened the ardor of the contesting ani mals. The awful bellowing ceased, and every Inmate of the Zoo, the hippopotamus only excepted, retired to his lair. Bnt the old hippo didn't mind the rain in the least! He just stood in bis pond' and kicked up row enough for 50. The prize was his; he had gained it honestlyand by his awn grand enorts. Alter mat ne reeked not of rheu matism or influenza. But Pittsburg dreaded those diseases, so, the noise being over, the city jnst retired to its bed, resolved to let the matter rest till morning. A Bomb In the Prison Yard. Jackson, Mich., December 25. An other dynamite bomb was found yesterday afternoon inside the prison yard, where it had probably been secreted to be used at the first favorable opportunity in wrecking the walls, and perhaps kill a number of desper ate criminals.
