An art icle recently ' puihi hea in the
Hanni
bal (Mo.) .Courier brought l up in a party of gen-\
tlernen two:of whom were Missrs: David Dean
arid William Brown, of Rolls Couniy, a:conver
sation in iega - rd to the earl) youih of Sam
Clemens (Mark Twain.), Several very amusing
anecdotes were related about. Mark when he
was a small boy, amongi others the following :
Mark had a constant playmate and chum,, a
boy about his own age,named Napoleon Pavey'
or, for short, Nile . Pavay i . 'fine warm spring
day, the two boys having got a holiday, Mark
ahoulderei an old`*fiint-lOck Musket, and Pole
an old squirrel ride without any lock at all,
which, be l carried along, as be.saidjusi r.'• - "•";
looks of thfu

to Sny Bottom. The boys hunted faithfully
for several hours and succeeded an killing a;
chicken• hawk and a crow, after which 'they
commenced their homeward march,' not very
'proud of their
. success, &pin this region at that
day game ahouned„ Finally MSrk stOriped

'suddenly, us an idea truck him, and then ex ‘,
claimed : ' ' • , \
"See here, Pole, let'S git . up a rarel—what d'ye
call it . ?. `A. rare geologicial specimen for `the
boss:I; you see he's .got agreat,hankering after
theSe things."
"What's a rare geological specimen, Mark ?"
said. Pole, as he opened wide Lis eyes.
':Why, it's a rare..bird iv hat ai&t never: been
seen in thes e parts before ' ; something very un
common-like," answered Mark.' .
"WbereAre you going to git het' at, *ark t
We ain't got nothing but this pld chicken rob
bet' and crow and they aidtlt bit uncimincton,"
queried skeptical Pole: _
"We'll git , her up to , order, POle,",answere4
Mark, as he flung -himself; on the green grass
beneath a giant old elm tree,i
The two ' l 4 . ayiiwegt to work on theitirare -,ge
ofogica? specimen. 1 As Mar l would pluct:Na
feather from the tail of the i crow,,Pole Would
r,
hind a corresponding feather that had been
taken frem - the !Ai of the , hawk : Mark
woutd careitilly;„ in.the,.iocket frOm which
he had just, pulled . . the crow ' feather.' 'And
thus, aftertwo lours of steady work,every one
of the long feathers of the haik's tail had beep
transferred to the crow, aiid it would have re
quired a careful examination \ to have ; detected
the fraud. ' ' '-----h-4/ . !
"flow, is ._that fori ti. specimen; Pole ?" said
Mark, as he admiringly-exhibited the re-tailed
crow to the gaze of his 'companion, resplend
eutin the rich plumage of the great chicken
eater. t . •
"She is a stunneri Mark; a c lregular stunner
I guess they ain't never seen a bird like that iu
'Hannibal before." s . , ; ' •
The hawk was thrown awa . y,'and the boys
trudged homeward. By the they arrived
in town.the blood of the crow had congealed,
And the fal,e feathers in the tail had become
firmli fired,, •' . ' , .

As Mark had said, Judge Clemens, his father,
was sornewhat of a 4turalist, and had a pas
sion for whatever was Irare and strauge in the
animakundom. i i ~- 4

”W. 14, Mark l" he said, " where : ' , in the world,

Idea. It was absurd—ridiculous. - They were
willing to admit that the ' bird , very much re-,
Sembled the craw ; that possibly it was a crow,
.
but, if so, it belOngect to a 'soperate and: distinct
species from any that hid ever' before been dis-.

. The \discussion was "continued, and became
exciting: Neither fattion would admit them

Pole occupied a position near the door, and
were attentive and interested, though "silent,
auditors.. \

"What , r eiclaimed Judge Clemens, warm
ing up, "do You tell me that it would be
Possible by any, external process to turn the
fjathers in thn tail of that bird from black to
the color they'are ? These uniform rings and
spots would defy the skill of the greatest paint:
er that ever lived. No gentlemen," continued
the Judge,,as he rather 'violently took hold of
the bird by the tail to examine the spots more
closely ; "no gentlemen--" But the ,discus=
sion was , cut short by the- bird drop Ping down
on the table, while the Judge held on. the tail
in his hand.
•
"Let's scoot,*Pole," said Mark, "the show's
snded." And the two boys vamoosed. •
The Judge contemplated the "rare geological
I speamen" with consternation, and• then' his
eyes wandered to the open door and caught - a
limpse of his young hopeful and his compan
loniti mischief cutting aezoss , the back yard tor
high timber.
"Let us adjourn for' dinner, gen tlemen ; we
will renew the discussion atter dinner," said
the Judge ; bat never willingly renewed it
with any perion
,except Mark. That night,
when Mark had got. into bed, atter creeping
through the back window, a vision of his fath
er, standing by his be:chide, appeared to him.
"So it is four opinion is it, yOu young - rascal,
that the rare geological specimen is a bird'of
paradise ?" said the vision as it tickled Mark
on his naked legs with a keen cherry switch.
Mark said be felt sick, and didn't have any
opinion, which -was probably true, as be had
dined\ and 'supped that day On green radishes
found in the garden of Pole's mother.
