Spain the necessity of adopting the apprentice

long period. a secret convention has been con-
sidercd by Span, England and France, growing
out of British suggestion, and it has only been

The Bird Of Paradise.

There arc few birds that have more deceived
and puzzrd the learned than this. Some have
described it rs an inhaliant of the mir, living
only on the dew of heaven, and never coming
down to the earth. Others have acquicsccd i'll
the latter part Of its history, but have repre-
scntcd it as feeding on flying insects. Some
have asserted thatit was without feet, and others
have ranked it among the birds Of prey.
The great beauty of this birds plumasc and
the dr!orrnily of lis legs, seems 10 have given
rise to most Of these reports. The snvagcs OF
the Molucca Islands. of which it is an mhab-
tant, pcrccving the inclination the Euro
pcans had for this beautiful Bird carefully cut
off its lcg$ before they brought it to Market
Thus conccaling lis greatest dcl"rmity, ;hey
considered themselves entitled to isc in their
demands, when they Offered it for sale. De-
ccit led to another The buyer, finding the
bird without legs, he concluded that it could
only live in the air, where legs were unneces'
sary. The extraordinary svcndor Of its pIu.
mage, assisted in this deception, and AS il had
heavenly beauty, so it was asserted to have
heavenly residence. Hence its names and all
the false reports that have been made concern
ing it.
Error, is rtlivcd, and time has discover
ed that this bird not only has legs, but very
large, strong ones for lis size. Soon after the
discovery was made, this harmless bird was
branded with the character Of being rapacous,
The Camden weekly journal. [volume] (Camden, South-Carolina) 1853-1861, 1853-11-01

of destroying all birds of Il smaller size, and
from the amazing rapidity Of its flight wei
qualified for vast deal of mischief. The real
history Of this pretty creature is at present tol-
erably well known, and it is found to be as
harmless as beautiful.
There are several specimens of the Bird OF
Paradise. Some of them are as large as
pigeon, though in reality, the body is not
much greater than that of the thrush.
The tail, which is about about six inches
in length, is as long as the body. The wings
are large compared with birds Of other dimen-
sons. The head the throat and the neck are
of pale gold color. The base Of the bill and
the side Of the head and throat are surround
ed by black feathers, which are rs soft as vel
vet, and changeable like those on the neck of
blackbird. The hinder part of The head is of
shining green mixed with gold. The body
and wings arc chiefly covered with beautiful
brown, purple and gold feathers. The upper
most part of the tail feathers are of pale
yellow, and those under them white and lon
ger than the former; for which reason the
hinder part of the tail appears to be all white.
But what chiefly excites curiosity, are the two
long naked feathers which spring from the up
per part of the rump above the tall which
arc usually about two feet long. These are
bearded only at the beginning and the end;
the whole shaft, for about two feet niue inches
being ola deep black, while the feathcred cx-
tremity is ola changeable color.
This bird, which for beauty exceeds all 9th
CT species of this genus, is native of the Mo.
lucca Islands. There, in the delightful and
spicy woods of the country, this beautiful crea-
ture flies in very large fiocks, so that the
groves which produce the richest spices, pro-
duce the finest birds also. The inhabitants
are perfectly aware Of the great
beauty of these birds, and give them the name
of Gods birds, as being superior to all others
in existence. They live in large aocks, and at
night perch upon the same tree They fly
very rapidly, and arc almost continually on
the wing, in pursuit of insects, which form
thcir usual prey.
