At q late meeting of the Farmers Club OF
the American Institute, in New York, seve-
raj members made strong appeals for the
preservation of small birds. Larks, in par
ticular, render highly important service by
destroying the seeds Of noxious plants and
the larvae of the wheat fly. A paper ema-
natiug from society for preserving useful
animals enumerates many kinds Of birds
which are Of the greatest advantage, in sim
liar ways, to the farmer. The dog nuisance
was also discussed, and denounced. 1t was
said that the first reapiug machine was made
by the Gauls, before the time Of Julius Cesar.
By the description, it was something like the
illinois header, being pushed befvre the
team, and gathering the heads, leaving the
straw standing in the field. Wood mould
was recommended as a fertilizer for straw
berries.

In relation to the recently published PRO
gramme" of what purported to be the "Peo-
pies Party" the Washington correspondent
Of the Philadelphia North American, says I:
"a political programme has obtained pub
lici,v. protesting to represent conference
held here. which was either attended or
sanctioned by leading men in the old par,
ties, including such names as Crlttenden,
Bell, Marshall, and the like. 1t is within
my personal knowledge that these gentlemen
and others, pretended to be represented, gave
no authority. The programme was brought
to me aud carried to the Iutelligencer, and
declined, because it was endorsed by no re-
sponsib!e lanes"

Secretary Cobb bias replied to an applca-
ton to clear vessel from Charleston for the
coast Of Africa, "for the purpose Of taking
on board African emigrsnts, in accordance
with the emigraut passenger laws, and re-
turning with the same to the United States"
Mr.. Cobb directs the collector of the port of
Charleston not to grant clearance to the
vessel, as the conviction is irresistible that
the object Of the proposed enterprise is to
bring these AFRICAN emigrants" into the
country with the view either of making
slaves OF them, or of holding them to service
or labor. If 30, it is an attempt to evade the
laws of the country GA the sui ject Of African
importation.
The Evening News attributes the appica-
ton of Messrs. LATTE & Co., who applied
for this clearance, to a desire Ito test, prob
ably for others, certain supposed doubtful
questions on the importation Of negroes from
Africa" and says:
I'VE not only regard the Secretary's letter
conclusive on every phase and punt of the
question involved, and that it is the only
proper and statesmanlike response to the ap.
plication which the Administration could
give, bnt looking at the case on its face. as a n
effort to enter for the importation OF wild
and savage Africans, never mind 10 what
character or for what purpose, into this coun.
try, We deprecate and condemn 1t at large.

The St. Louis Republican has an article
upon the ST. Louis and Iron Mountain rail-
road, speaking Of toe great benefits to accrue
from the road. "as bringing the vast ores ol
the Iron Mountain, the Pilot Knob, and
Shepherds Mountain. directly to 81. Lonis'
there with the aid of coal and capital to be
c,nverted into iron, in all its shapes, and to
he sent abroad at prices defying competition"
But it adds The idea that We can stop
this enterprise at the Pilot Knob, only seven
" miles from our Southern boundary line,
when we can. by q little more effort, con meet
ourselves with Memphis and New Orleans,
and Charleston and alexandria, is not to be en-
tertained. We must 20 on with this road
not after while, but now. Our Southern
friends who are said to be even more careful
and circumspect in matters Of this kind than
~e are, have already continuous line of
railroad from New Orleans to jackson, in
Mississippi. Other parts of the road from
Jackson to Memphis are completed, and a
year more will see complete line of rail-
way communication between New Orleans
and Memphis"
1t seems that the location and advantages
of Alexandra, are not ignored in the great
West, when considering and speaking Of the
important railroad connections and extern
siOns going on there and in the South.
10 the Senate, Mr.. Douglas has introduced
bill to revive and put in force the act Of the
Sd of March, 1889, in relation to the north
eastern boundary, with such notifications as
to make it applicable to the present contro-
versy in regard to the right of search and
visitation. The bill thus revived, puts at the
disposal of the President, to be used when
necessary 10 resist the claims Of Great Bri-
tain, the naval and military forces and the
militia OF the United States, and autho rizes
him to call into the service so 600 volunteers.
1t also puts at his disposal ten millions of
dollars, with the right to borrow the same;
also, if be deems it necessary, to send spe-
cial ambassador Of Great Britain. The act
to continue in force Tor sixty days after the
meeting of the next Congress.
The bill confers these powers in precisely
the same language as the act of 1859, except
that it strikes out the word boundary" and
inserts visitation and right OF search" and
n few other verbal alterations; comforting the
same powers in fact on President Buchanan
as were conferred on President Van Buren,.

EEWe took occasion, the other day, to
drop into the new Photograph and Ambro-

hour, was highly entertained, looking
through the magic stcreoscope. No one
can form an idea of the beauty and perfec
ton Of these views, until he has examined
them. niagara Falls" "The Greek
Slave" "a Wedding Scene, ''"Across the
Waters" and palace by Gas Light"
were favorites with us among the collec-
ton. Looking at the view of Niagara, we
could see the very moss-covered rock
where we once sat and gazed on that King
OF Wonders, with thoughts and emotions.
for whose utterance there is no language.
Mr.. Carbutt seems to possess the true
spirit of the Artist. In love with his beau

have no doubt but that his expectations In
this respect, will be fully realized.
