Spare the Birds!

k-crack-continualy goes an
old gun not far of, and the smell of powder is
in the air. Then noise of shouting, and we
look from the window to see half dozen
well-grown boys, the leader carrying fowl
ing piece, streaking across an open lot near,
all eager to bag the game they have brought
down-a solitary sparrow! Somebody de
fines man as an "animal whose chief propen-
sity it is TO hunt something" and perhaps
the very worst manifestation of this propensi-
ty is the habit of shooting singing birds. 1t
is simple, wanton, groundess cruelty. 1t is
without the plea of necessity, for nobody
wants to eat the robin, nor can any substan
tisl complaint be brought against him as
mischevous and harmful His death can
serve no purpose, and his life is of the great.
est service. You say he is thief? No such
thing. 1t is true he helps himself to cherry
now and then, or scratches up few peas and
an occasional kernel of corn, but has he not
right to so much? All the season through he
works for the farmers benefit. In the morn
ing he is always the earliest riser, laboring
diligently at his task long before the owner Of
the soil is up, picking up grub here and
caterpillar there, now picking out the egg Of
a canker-worm. and now digging his hard bill
into whole nest of singing, boring, and
otherwise blighting insects. The bountiful
crops Of the garden, the field and orchard are
so largely owing to him that his occasional
depredations ought not to give offence. If
he is not entitled to few peas and cherries
now and then, pray, who is? Don't grudge
him his modest wagesl
Then besides his cheerful note, he has
such entertaining, social ways. What an in
describable air7of busting Importance there is
about him as he perches, whistling, on gate
post, or runs along the ground, stopping now
and then to perk up his head and take an OBJ
servation or to "snatch his hasty plate of"
vermicelli. He fares sumptohsly at this season.
The bare barren earth is his foraging ground,
and he ttaverses it with the free and careless
swing with which Sherman's jolly fellows
sweep through the Carolinas. His only anx-
iety is from the boys and other geuerillas.
There it goes again. Is there no law, no or
dinance, which can be enforced to silence
that pestilent fowling piece? Already the
remark is commonly made by observing
strangers that the singing-birds are fewer in
Portland than most towns so Astounding in
shade trees. The cause of this is undoubted
ly to- be found in the unchecked ravages Of
barbarian boys. 1t would be satisfaction if
every one of these cruel mrauaders could
find himself armed with gun like that cele-
brated by Hudibras which recoiled and kick
ed its owner over.

FROM NEwBERN. N. G.
Plan to Destroy the City by Fire-Arrest of
Rebel Officer

Pia" to Destroy the City by Fsre-Arrest of
Rebel officer.
NEwBERN, N. c., April 2.
A preconcerted plan to destroy this city was
developed this morning at half past 10 o'clock.
Several large buildings containing forage, or
dinance and commissary stores, were set on
IRE simultaneously by means OF phosphorus.
An alarm was given and signalled at once
throughout the city. The fire department and
the entire population at once turned out, and
the flames were exiinguished in short time
without doing much damage. Seventy-fve
bales Of hay and few other articles were con-
sumed.
The extensive bridge over the Neuse River
was fired at the same time in four places, but
the flames were extingushed. A rebel officer
and several other persons are now in conflne-
ment on suspicion Of having set the fires. The
fire department has been on duty ever since.
A double guard has been stationed through
out the city to prevent like occurrences and to
arrest suspicious persons. The excitement
was very great yesterday and last night.
There was rumor that some rebel cavalry
made a dash yesterday and struck the railroad
this side of Goldsboro. No such report has
reached headquarters, and as the telegraph is
in working order to Goldsboro and the track
strongly guarded, the rumor is undoubtedly
without foundation.

WASHINGTON, April Z.
A salute was fired early this afternoon, on
reception of the intelligence of yesterdays
victory over Lee.
NEW YORK, April 7.
Another spontaneous meeting took place in
Wall street, on the announcement of the
equalization of Lees army. 1t was addressed
by number of leading citizens. A commit
tee was appointed to visit she Governor, and
revuest him to designate some other day than
good Friday for the great celebration.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, April 7.
The news of the victories of yesterday
created even greater excitement in this city
to-day, than the fall of Richmond The bells
were rung for three hours, cannon fired, and
other demonstrations of joy. This evening
great mass meeting was held in City Hall,
which was presided over by Major Bridges.
While firing salute, Albion Jones, a police
man, had part of one of of his arms blown off
by the premature discharge of the cannon.
WORCESTER, MASS, April T..
The heart of the Commonwealth celebrated
the downfall of the rebellion to-day by the
ringing of bells, the firing Of 300 guns and a
general illumination this evening. The great
est enthusiasm prevailed.

The DIFFERENCE RETwEEN RHETORIC
AND REALITY.-The most ardent admirers
of JEFF Davis, or the rankest copperheads,
cannot repose much confidence In him as a
prophet. In Stevenson, Ala, Feb. 1861, this
bogus President said:
Your border States will gladly come into
to the Southern Confederacy within sixty
days, as we will be your only friends. Eng
land win recognize us, and a glorious future
is before us. The grass will grow in the
Northern cities where the pavements have
been worn by the tread of commerce. We
will carry war where it is easy to advance,
uhere food for the stuord and torch await the
armies in the densely populated Cities"
What grandiloquent speech, and how pro-
pheticl 1t reads quite different from the
message he recently sent to hin Congress-
Truly, the times have changed, and he has
changed with them. The boot seems to be on
the other leg. 1t is not the rebel army, but
Sherman's, that Carried the war where it is
easy to advance" JEFF. has not been able yet
to push his armies "where food for the sword
and torch await them.

Descent Of Mountain Streams.

distinguished German writer, referring to
the project of connecting the Baltic and Black
Seas by canal to pass through the valleys of
the Carpathian chain, and unite the head waters
of the Vistula and Danube, gives some interest
ing facts in relation to the degree of fall in
mountain rivers as determined by the slope of
their bed toward the horizon. The grade of
mountain sides, which stand back to back, is
unlike on the two sides; steep on the one, slight
on the other. Upon this depends the greater or
less wildness Of their streams In the Ural
chain the slope is steep on the eastern side,
gradual on the western; in the Andes the reverse
of this is the case; in the Caucasus the steep
slope is to the north, the gradual one to the
South. The rate of fall varies, but the writer
referred to states that in general it will be found
between an angle of two and an angle of six
degrees, taking their whole mountain course
into account. On the steep north side of the
grees; from the submits of Mont Rosa and
Mont Blanc to the plains of Piedmont it is three
and three-fourths degrees. In some ranges it
is much less. This angle IL given as an average;
it is the resultant of great number of special,
short slopes which vary from the occasional
perpendicular of waterfall to the equally coca
sional tranquility of ameadow-like f)w. The
incidental slopes are, of course, much greater
than the average of all. A grade of Is degrees
is very steep; it is the maximum that can be as
cended by beast of burden. A grade Of eight
degrees is the maximum for wheeled vehicles; all
roads must be less sloping than this. To accom-
plish an ascent of IS degrees man on foot must
have some assistance. A grade of forty-four
degrees in the high peaks of Mexico and Peru,
Humboldt found inaccessible; only where the
growth of trees and shrubs gave him an oppor-
tunity of planting his feet, could he climb
where it was little sleeper than this. The
richest Alpine meadows of Switzerland have an
inclination not exceeding twenty degrees; at q
greater slope vegetation becomes sparse. The
grade on which it is possible for earth to cling
Lehman fixes at Is degrees, and considers that
the normal slope, because at a greater angle
rain glances or ricochets. But this estimate is
not quite correct, for ON the Alps soil adheres
and plants get footing at q much sleeper angle
than forty-fve degrees. The streams of the
Pyrenees have fall of an inch in every foot,
and the continual stir of the water mixes in air
enough to turn all into mass of silvery foam.
The mountain lakes, too, through which such
streams sweep. depssiting in them residuum Of
sand and gravel which they have caught up and
whirled along, have often a considerable fall Of
their own. Lake Maggiore, for instance, has q
descent of fifty-two feet between Magazine and
| Aroma.

NEW CITY HALL.-Next Monday evening
Newcomb's wellknown and favorite troupe
will give their first of series of three of their
pleasing concerts. The Cincinnati CONNER
cial of late date thus discusses the merits Of
this troupe:
"In managing his present troupe, Newcomb
has exhibited tact, judgment and liberality.
The musical element is equal to the require
ment OF the fastidious connoisseur, and the
most difficult operate passages are executed
with the artistic skill of proficient lyric pro-
sessionals, while the more simple, but popular
songs OF the heart and hearth, are interpreted
with the simple and natural feeling which Tom
M lore so earnestly required for his exquisite
melodies. An uncommon feature in connec-
ton with the corps of comedians is in its
originality. The oft-repeated jokes, and the
stale preparations of burnt corkdom have
been happily ignored by the Newcomb ALI
ance, and hence the return of crowded houses,
no matter how long their stay"
Procure your tickets, during the day, at
Paine's Music Store, or Crossman 6 Co.'s
Drug Store.
