lurching gait, Ike freshly landed sea.traV-
elers, and frequently have no little trouble
in maintaining an equilibrium. We were
confident that there was much more room
for improvement in this respect, and won.

not endeayor to change the Shanghai
ssform and feature by equaiizing their Pc

looked the defect to which we allude. or
they have been so prejudiced that they
would NOT see it, and it has been left TO q

up, and the front pair made him kick up.
But alter balancing the thing in bis mind
over night, he settled down next morning
on his 'all-fours' boldly, and persists in
that mode oflocomotion.'
We regret that the experiment should
have been confined to only one chick in
the brood; but we presume the old hen be-
longs to the school OF cautious reformers
and dared not venture on too great an IN
noyation, for fear Of losing the confidence
ofh her owner in the purity Of her blood.
