Pigeons on q Drunk.

A San Francisco paper reports curl:
Gus story. A farmer living in one of the
ranches in the vicinity of that city, was
recently surprised to see large flock of
pigeons, after flying around his barn. yard
few moments, suddenly fall to the
ground. Wondering at the phenomena,
he concluded to watch them. An anti
quated Thomas cat, perambulatiug the
yard, seized one of the young pigeons and
made hearty meal Of it. Soon after
Thomas cat commenced staggering about
like one intoxicated, and falling over, gave
up the ghost with dismal yowl. The
farmers wife, who had picked up num-
Der of pigeons for the purpose of making
pies Of them, on learning of poor grimdl:
kin's fate Thought the birds were poison
ed and threw them down. The farmer
gathered over two hundred of them and
threw them into an old clubhouse. In
the morning his wife found the pigeons
alive and roosting on Hoodpile. Inqui-
ries were made, and it was ascertained
that a near neighbor, having been troubled
by frequent visits of pigeons, had soaked
some grain in whiskey and scattered it
about bis premises so that the pigeons
became intoxicated-in fact, dead drunk.
They recovered, however, but poor puss
became victim Of alcoholic stimulants,
impaired by infected pigeon meat.

Forts.

1t is to be regretted that so much of the
treasure of the people is expended in sta
tionary Notifications, which neither i'm.
prove the picturesquenesa of our coasts
and harbors nor grow in excellence with
the daily improvements in arms and am.
munition. Almost all the forts which
studded the Atlantic beach in 1860 have
been either seized by the Rebels or bat
tered down by our own cannon. Sumtef
has cost as mitch as it would require to re-
build all Charleston ; we are putting many
millions into fort at Sandy Hook, which;
for defence; amounts to about as much as
a hencoop; Fortress Monroe is the only
structure which has answered its purpose,
and that rather as depot than fortif-
cation. The handsomest series of forts in
America are those which guard tho Mar
rows in the bay of New York. Fort La
fayette, grim to the eye and to the mind,
stands midway in the channel, and three
splendid edifces, bristling with cannon,
guard it on either side. Every ship
coming in from sea fires gun abreast
these staunch watchplaces, but one iron
clad steaming past them is more puissant
than their united thunderbolts.

The Death. Watch.

The "death-watch" is very common
inmate of our houses. Among those who
are unacquainted with the habits of insects
there is common superstition that the
strange ticking sound often heard in old
houses is sign of approaching death
This noise, however, is caused by small
beetle, which, during its boring opera
tious, rubs the neck and chest together,
by which means this Ito some persons)
terrible omen is produced-a fact which,
if more generally known, would save a
world of causeless anxiety and uneasiness
In the larvae state these insects do great in
jury to our furniture and the woodwork
of old houses, which they gnaw continual
ly. When captured, this beetle feigns
death with the strongest pertinacity, pre-
ferring, it is said, to suffer death under
a slow fire rather than betray the least
sign Of vitality. The "death watch" on
account of its retired habits, minute size,
and dark color, is very seldom seen and
as there are often several individuals work
ing at the same time in their boring opera.
tions, the sound seems to proceed simulta-
neously from opposite directions, thus add
ing to the superstitious terror where
with by some persons it is regarded. 1t
is not larger than a good-sized flea.

A Paris Story.
NJ


The Paris correspondent of the New
Orleans Ptcayune gives the f. flowing:
Easter eve wealthy banker went to one
of the famous jewelers. shops in the Rue
de la Paix, and asked to look at some
bracelets. AS his face was familiar the
handsomest on hand were shown to him,
and he selected one which cost four thous-
and dollars. He put his visiting card in
the casket which contained the jewel, and
ordered all to be placed in great sugar
egg-for our Easter hens are Confectioners.
"Send that to Mile ~ mentioning
the name of popular dancing girl of the
grand opera. lie added: "by the way,
show me some rings--not too costly"
He selected a ring worth one hundred dol
lars, and placed it in a sugar egg, "Send
that to Mime -" giving his wife's
name. He paid for both articles, and trip.
ped with light step to his club, played
his accustomed game of whist, and about
ten o'clock made his way to the dancing
girls lodgings. She was lolling on her
sofa. She received him coldly. He was
astonished; for after man has made a
Partisan woman a present of $4,000, he
has right to expect not only continu-
ance but an increase of Der friendship.
After abusing him roundly for stingy
fellow, she rang the bell and her cham
bermaid answered it. She said to the lat
ter: "Cecile, show your hand to Mr.
Meanness." Cecile, with the character.
istic impudence of lorettes' abigails, thrust
her hand in the bankers face. He saw
glittering on it the 500 ring he had Sc
lected Tor his wife. The dancing-girl's
boudoir was not 50 agreeable that night as
usual. He abridged his visit. 1t was
still early in the evening; he was at
loss to know what to do with himself
At last he determined to 60 home. He
sat smoking in his stting-room for some
time, and then the thought struck him
Suppose l pass the rest of the evening with
my wife He rang tho bell. His body
servant entered. "John, is your mistress
at home p eyes sir.' "Go ask if she
will do me the honor of receiving me this
evening" While the servant was gone
on this errand he arranged his dress a
little, and, upon his wife's affirmative an
swer, he went to her rooms. She received
him with open arms, exclaming: "You
would run me crazy to day! have never
seen bracelet which suited better with
my taste. Ought net to upbraid you
for extravaganza !? No; am too de-
lighted to- utter one word of reproach."
She threw her arms around his neck
They sat side by side on the sofa, and the
banker found the contrast between tho re-
fined, educated gentlewoman and the vul-
gar, uneducated garret-born and kitchen
bred daucing-girl, delightful. Hours few
by as if borne on swallows wings. The
next day he broke with the dancing girl,
and he has since declared he never knew
what happiness was until Easter-eve.

The Habeas Corpus,

The Hon. Horace Binney, of Philadel-
phia, has lately written pamphlet on
this subject, which attracts general atten-
ton, because it is in one sense review
of the opinions he put forth at the be-
ginning Of the war. He mainly discusses
",ohat is allowed to be done during its
suspension, and successfully maintains
that it does not confer unlimited, but only
qualified power to the Government:
cit gives no authority to arrest with
out cause. 1t gives no authority to ar
rest without warrant. 1t gives no au.
thority to arrest for any cause but treason,
or some offense kindred to treason, which,
like it, endangers the public safety. 1t
gives no authority to do anything under
authority of martial law nor, on the
other hand, does martial law give any
authority to suspend the Habeas Cor
pus. The one proceeding is civil 4; the
other military; and no part of the au-
thority pertaining to the one ia conferred
by the other. The suspension of the
Hadeas Corpus does not preclude judges
from inquiring into cases of arrest under
color Of the suspension, in order to see
whether they come under the power thus
acquired" .s.-..t 3.
If these views are sound, and we think
they will hardly be questioned, there is
danger of some of the understrappers of
the Federal Administration being made
to suffer by criminal prosecution for their
unauthorized arrests. One of the worst
features of Mr.. Lincoln's rule was the en-.
tire disregard of the Constitution and
laws. Nearly all the safeguards thrown
around the people were invaded and bro
ken down, and life, liberty and property
were only enjoyed at the option of the
War Department. If those who have
been busy in arresting without cause, and
imprisoning without warrant, are made to
feel the weight of outraged law and vio-
lated rights, it will be no more than they
deserve.-Doylestown Democrat. 49,

THE INFLUENCE OF THE E.

The INFLUENCE OF THE Eye
Lichtenstein says the African hunters
avail themselves of the circumstance that
the lion does not attempt to spring upon
his prey till he has measured the ground,
and has reached the distance of ten or
twelve PAGES, when he lies crouching on the
ground, gathering himself up for the eff
fort. The hunters, he says, make rule
never to fire upon the lion till he lies
down at this short distance, so that they
can aim directly at his head with the most
perfect certainty.
If one meets a lion, his only safety is to
stand still, though the animal crouches to
make his spring; that spring will not be
hazarded if the man remain motionless,
and look him steadily in the eyes. The
animal hesitates, rises, slowly retreats
some steps, looking earnestly about him
lies down-again retreats, till, getting
by degrees quite out of the magic circle
of mans influence, he takes fight in the
utmost haste.

Never Despair,

"Ugly flower! I won't pick you v'-
said little Harry, as he pulled the butter
cups and daisies in the meadow, and sud-
denly came to a fine large dandclion.-
The dandelion had done its best to look
bright and gay all day, and it was very
sad to hear its happy broad golden face
found fault With like this.
''I wonder why nobody likes me ?" it
thought sadly; "every other flower is
taken notice of, and l am left neglected
and forlorn. l did not make myself, and
do not wish to be disagreeable. wonder
if anybody will ever care about me, or
shall l shut up my petals and die?
ono, no." whispered the breeze which
passed over it, "keep on hoping"
And just then large bee came buzziug
through the long meadow grass, and rest
ed on the yellow dandelion, and found
some honey in its heart, and said
"Beautifal flower, I am glad I have
found you out"
And the dandelion held up its golden
face to tho sun, and said
~ have not lived for nothing"
God has given us all the power of being
comfort to somebody.
