The Summer Redbird.

The changes Of color which this bird is
subject to, during the first year, have de
celved European naturalists so much, that
four different species of tanager have been
formed out Of this one. The female differs
much in color from the male The food of
this bird consists Of various kinds of bugs,
and large black beetles. During the sea-
son of whortebcrries they seem to live al
most entire y upon them. In Pcnnsylva-
MIA they are rare, but in New Jersey they
may be generally found The note of the
male is a strOng aud sonor Us whistle, re-
sembling a loose trill or shake on the notes
OF Il fife, fire 'uently repeated that of the
female is rather kind of chattering, ap
proaching nearly to the rapid pronuncia-
ton Of chicky,tuchyWck, when she sees
any person approaching the neighborhood
of her nest. She is, however, rarely seen,
and usually mute, and scarcely to be dis
tinguished from the color of the foliage at
a distance; while the loquacity and brilliant
red of the male make him conspicuous; and
when seen among the green leaves, he has
a most beautiful and elegant appearance.
The summer redbird delights in fat
sandy country covered with wood, and in
terspersed with pine trees, and is more nu
merous on the shores of the Atlantic than
in the interior. In both the Carolinas,
Georgia, and Florida, they are numerous
in the northern parts they are very rare.

Millionaire Butcher of London.

Mons Wey, a French writer of distinc-
ton, who passed some weeks in London,
has recently published in Paris his impress
slons, under the title Of The English at
Home On the occasion, while riding in
an omnibus, he formed an acquaintance
with fellow passenger, from whom he de-
rived many explanations of the strange
things he saw One of these we give:
Il addressed a few words to him con-
corning a carriage which drove by 1t
was too fine to be elegant, and was drawn
by two magnificent horses. On the box,
adorned with beautiful fringe, sat black
coated coachman there was not wrinkle
in his white cravat-his snowy gloves were
spotless. In the vehicle, on downy cush
ions, carelessly lounged man without a
coat, his arms bare, his sleeves turned up
to the shoulder; an apron with the corners
turned up served him as girdle-so that
the coachman looked like gentleman drf-
wing a mechanic in his working Dress
Mons. w asked his neighbor who and
what was the strange looking occupant of
the dashing carriage. The richest butch
er in London, was the reply; he is return
ing in his carriage from the slaughterhouse
to his residence. His forefathers were in
the business his father left him fortune
OF more than two millions, and he, out of
modesty, follows his profession-a very
honorable old custom. This gentleman
butcher possesses four millions.

During the thickest of the fight the

while bullets few like hail about us.
In the course of the fight, Captain, of
one OF the companies was struck by spent
ball, which disabled him from Walking
The mulatto boy, who was mounted, rode
up to him and shouted out, 'CaI tain, you

Stripes, take my horse and lead yolr men,
lie then dismounted and helped the wound

Unexpected Meeting of two Sisters.

IFrom the Hannibal (NIo) Messenger
Last week while Mrs. McNutt, wife of
Gov. McNutt, of Douglasyille, H., was
hucksteringi in Camp Loomis, Mrs. Keener,
wife OF Capt. keener, came out of her tent
to buy something Mrs McNutt had fre-
quently visited the camp before, huckster-
ing, and thought that Mrs. Keener's coun-
tenance looked familiar to her So on the
day mentioned, when Mrs. Keener came
out, Mrs. McNutt observed to her, that she
thought she had seen her before, and the
longer she looked at her the more she be-
came convinced of the fact, and observed
again that she must have once known her.
Mrs. Keener also thought that she had
seen Mrs. NJ before Mrs nj. then asked
her II her Christian name was not Rachel.
Mrs. X. replied it was, when they both re-
cognlzed each other as sisters, and with
low shrieks and tears of joy, rushed into
each others arms, and greeted each other
after separation of twenty years
There is quite romance connected with
the two families, Gov. McNutt having been
reduced from opulence to stringency bv
the extravaganza OF his sons, who ended
their career by entering Walkers Nicara-
guian expedition, and captain Keener left
the dragon service some years since and
went to preaching He was stationed at
Pilot Knob at the breaking out of the pres
ent troubles, and was driven away by the
rebels because of his Union sentiments
He went to Illinois, raised company and
is now in for the war
Since the recognition, the two sisters
have spent mach of thei' time together.
If war has its SORROWS, it likewise has its
joys, of which the above IS only an instance.

NAYHRAb HISTORY,
The Towhee Bunting, or Ground Robin

The ToWhee Bunting, or Ground Robin
This bird is also called chewiak and
sUonop robin. 1t generally keeps close to
the ground, and irequents thickets and
sheltered spots, scratching among the leaves
for worms and larvae. 1t is quite famil.
lar bird, and will suffer person to walk
round the bush or thicNet, where it is at
work, without betrayng any signs of alarm,
and when disturbed, uttering the notes toac-
he, repeatedly. At times the male mounts
u small tree, and chants his few simple notes
for an hour at time. They are loud, but
not unmusical. He is fond of thickets
near streams of water, and is found gener-
ally over the United States The nest is
placed on the ground among the dry leaves,
and is large and substantial. He shows
great affection for his young, and i, remar-
k :ble for the cunning with which he con-
ceals his nest, sometimes nearly covering it
with dry grass. In Virginia he is called
the bulinch
This bird is eight inches and half long;
OF black color above, and white below.
The eye changes in color-the iris being
sometimes white and often red.
There are various others of the bunting
genus in the United States, as the white
crowned bunting, the bay winged bunting,
the black throated bunting, and Henslow's
bunting.

neA-A A menagerie was recently destroy
ed by fire, at Boston. The building in
which the beasts were kept was large two
story one, with horses, wagons, &c, on the
first story and the wild animals in the
second. A watchman was on the prcmi-
ses, but while he was in one part of the
building, incendiaries, it is thought, appli-
ed the match to combustibe material in
another part, and the flames spread so rap
idly that everything was lost No person
heard single growl or groan from the ami
mails, and, as they were all found dead af-
ter the fire had been extinguished, the
probability is that all were smothered to,
death before the flames reached any of the
cages. Among the animals lost was roy
al Bengal tiger, said to have been the lar
gest and best specimen in this country,
and the most valued of any single animal
in the collection. The other animals were
all fine specimens, and numbered three
lions, four leopards, two African tigers, two
bears, hyena, jackal, African goat, musk
cat leopardcat, horned horse, about forty
monkeys, two trick mules, three trick pom
les, FIVE horses and several watch dogs, all
of which perished The animals alone
were valued at about $4,000, and proba-
bly, could not have been purchased for that
sum Besides this, the loss in wagons,
harness, &c, was of considerable amount

Standing before huge fire, whose glim-

had partaken of the spirit of vigilance, and
were searching for some hidden foe, ones
mind naturally is affected, and every shad-
ow and tree has an association which awak
ems the soldier to full appreciation of his
sentinel duties. But such night as last
night-dark, dreary, wet, and disagreeable
in the extreme-has an entirely different
effect and we cluster around the fire, piled
high with Secesh rails, which at times
seemed to exert its best light and most gen.
ial rays to spread humor and life among
those who stood smoking around it, Then
as If exasperated at the failure, it would
splutter and crack, contending furiously
with every drop of rain, and hiss out a
strong reproof at the element which was
making the sentinels so uncomfortable
But the-guard must be vigilantly maintain
ed through the night, and we dare not
sleep; for you must know, M Editor, that
sleep courts the soldiers cyelias as sweetly
under the dropping rain as it does in his
tent, if, perchaDce, he has gum blanket

that could be raised was made by little
corporal, who doled out in most melan-
choly style,

The International Telegraph.

This great enterprise is seriously con-
templated. Col. Romanof of the Imperial
Russian Engineers, is now in New York,
forming plans for the execution of this
project He says the Russian government
is rapidly pushing the lines to the mouth
of the Amoor river. From the mouth of
the Amoor river, it is the design to contin-
ue the line, via the Aleutien Archipelago.
to the Russian American settlements ::
thence to Vancouver Island, and thence to
San Francisco. Mr.. Collins of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, with whom
Col. Romanof has been in consultation,
recommended that the line be carried from
the Amoor liver along the shores of Sibe-
ria to Behering's Straits, and from thence
adopting the line of COL Romanoff to San
Francisco. Mr.. Collins announced that he
had received letter from Mr.. Sibley, Sec
retary of the Union Telegraph Company.
in which the utmost confidence was ex-
pressed in the feasibility of extending the
line to Behring's Straits, so as to extend
with the Russian line and believed that
as soon as the Russian line reached that
point we would be ready to connect with it.
Mr.. Sibley contends that this route is the
only feasible one to connect Europe with
America. The proposed line will unite all
the telegraphs in the world, without cross
ing the Atlantic ocean, so that the great
cable" enterprise need not be resussita-
ted. The cost is set down for two wires at
$3,000,000. To maintain this line 1000
men at $500 each per annum, average Il
would become necessary, making total Of
100000. To this it is proposed to add
100 stations, at 81, 900 per week two sup
ply vessels, at $40, 6,15O; interest on capital
at 7-l-2 per annum, $4,000; contin-
gencies, 100000. Total, $75O,OOO. 1t
is calculated that 10000 messages at s.
each, would be received, making total of
Sl,5OO,OOO revenue.
