There is a woman who ha* en tortained in Washington who can not relate somo experience with the great uninvited. The intruder* are to 'be found in the greatest nutnbors at the reception* of people in official lifo. Many strangers regal'd these as in the nature of public receptions. Unac quainted perhaps with tho social cus toms thoy do not recognize the rights of tho "servants of the people,” aa they nro fond of calling them, to anv privacy ovon in their homes. Tho ad vont of a crowd of curiously-dressed people In tho purlors of tho secretary of stuto or tho secretary of tho Interior at a card recontion would astonish nono of tho receiving party, nowovor, much it might annoy them.

The griifin is a mythological animal live foot seven inohos high and largo other ways in proportion. It is fre quently scon in architectural decora tions, and figures as a side show in delirium tremens. It is a cress be tween a dragon and a sphinx, both al so mythological, which fact, however, in no way detracts from the genuine utility of the animals. That tho griffin is harmless to man is owing to its purely mythological nature: were it not so there is no way of telling tho amount of damage that might lie done by them to tho sheep industry. Better is a bull-dog in the yard than a terracotta griffin on tho house-top. Tho natural color of tho griffin is doubtful, ns those who have fccn it under tho most favorablo cir cumstances were not in n condition to remember colors.

The griffin ns used by the j»ork packers is somewhat lloshicr than the English thoroughbred. Why tho grif fin is thus preferred above other ani mals is unknown, unless it is to har monize witli Ihu vague cluims to which it is sup|M>»cd to givo counte nance, though tho countenance of tho griffin is nothing to brag of. Although this country I* provided with u wi'H-stocked zoology, tho grif fin holds a plneo peculiarly its own, as there is no other animal thut looks onongh like it to do its work. As pop ulation increases and cents of arms are sold on the installment plan, tho demand for griffins will increase.— Texas Siftings. A Monkey Show.
