The MooKINa BIRD.--Mr. Gosse, in
his history of the birds of Jamaica, gives
an amusing account of the hooking bird.
The hogs, it seems, are the creatures
which give this bird the most annoyance.
They are ordinarily fed upon the inferior
oranges, the fruit being shaked down to
them in the evening. Hence they ac-
quire the habit of resorting to the orange
tree to wait for lucky wind-fall. The
mockiug bird, feeling nettled at the intru.
sion, flies down, and begins to peck at the
hog with all its might. Piggy, not un.
derstanding the matter, but pleased with
the thing, gently lies down and turns up
his broadside to enjoy it. The poor bird
gets into an agony of distress, pecks and
pecks again but increases the enjoyment
Of the intruder and is at last compelled to
give up in despair.

The USE OF QUAILs.-William Nor
ton, an intelligent, observing farmer boy
who makes his home in the southern part
of Illinois, has recently been studying the
habits of the quail, or, incorrectly apart
RIDGE and gives the following testimony
to the Cincinnati artisan:
''He observed small flock commencing
at one side of field, taking about five
rows, following them regularly through
the field, scratching and picking about
every hill, till they came to the other side
of the field then taking another five rows
on their return, and thus continuing, till
he thought they were certainly pulling up
the corn. He shot one, and then pro-
ceeded to examine the corn ground. On
all the ground that they had been over,
he found but one stalk of corn disturbed
that was scratched nearly out of the
ground, but the kernel was still attached
to the stalk. In the crop of the quail he
found but one cut worm, 81 striped vine
bugs. 100 chintz bugs, that still retained
their individuality, mass apparently
consisting of hundreds of chintz bugs, but
not one kernel of corn"

AIR. MD. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY IS, 1866.

The prohibition of the slave trade was
atlength effected in Massachusetts 10 17S8.
1t was enacted that no citizen of the Com,
monwealth, or other person residing in
the same, shall import, transport, buy or
sell any of the inhabitants of Africa as
slaves or servants for term of years, on
penalty of fifty pounds for every person
SO misused, and two hundred pounds for
every vessel fitted out or employed in the
trade. All insurance on such vessel to be
void. That there were Massachusetts,
slave ships at that time at sea is obvious,
for this act expressly exempts them.
Much interest has been felt of late
years to know when and under what cir.
cumstances slavery ceased to exist in
Massachusetts,. The fact that Daniel
Webster had not been able few years be.
fore his death to determine this question
satisfactorily, is pretty good evidence that
1t was doubtful. In 1886 Chief Justice
Shaw made an interesting statement on
this point. How or by what act particu-
larly slavery was abolished in Massachu-
sets. whether by the adoption of the opin-
ion in Somersets case, as declaration
and modification of the common law, or
by the Declaration of Independence, or
by the Constitution of 1880, it is not now
very easy to determine, and it is rather a
matter of curiosity than utility it being
agreed on all hands, that if not abolished
before, it was SO by the Declaration of
Rights.
Mr.. Moore, in conclusion on this point,
remarks: "The reader of these notes can.
not fail to notice the strong resemblance
in the mode of the extinction of slavery in
Massachusetts and that of the villenage in
England. Of the latter, Lord Manstie Id
said, in 1885, that Villains in gross NAV
in point of law, subsist at this day, but the
change of manners and customs has abol-
ished them in point of fact If the par
allel may be continued, it could be said
with equal justice, that slavery having
never been formally prohibited by legisla-
ton in Massachusetts,, continued to sub
sist in point of law until the year 1866,
when the grand Constitutional Amend
ment terminated it forever throughout the
limits Of the Central States"
The reader will find Mr.. Moore's
"Notes' full of lucidly arranged informa-
ton, much of it now published for the
first time, and not a small part derived
from sources of difficult access. Its style
is clear, earnest and powerful the au-
thor's industry and ability admirable; his
book has vivacity and picturesqueness
that will secure for it general attention.

STRANGE DEATH.-Mr.D Daniel Gress-
man was killed at Grapeville, Westmore-
land county, on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, few days sincei under the follow.
ing circumstances
He was riding very spirited horse,
and, when near the railroad, a train pas
sed, the sight of which so frightened the
animal that he ran at full speed against
the train, bounding upon a truck car
about the middle of the train, and at
tempting to jump over the opposite side.
Mr.. Gresham was thrown back on the
south track, so as to fracture his skull
and cause instant death. The deceased
was about seventy years of age, and lived
near the scene Of the accident, which was
witnessed by one of his daughters. The
horse was not killed, although considera-
bly, injured.--Lancaster lntelzigencer.

HIS HAND UPON THE LATCH.

HIS HAND UPON THE LATCH.
My cottage home is filled with light,
The long, long summer day,
But, ah | dearer love the night,
And hail the sinking ray.
For eve restores me one whose smile
Doth more than mornings match
And life afresh seems dawnng while
His hand is on the latch
When autumn fields are thick with sheaves
And shadows earlier fall,
And grapes grow purple meath the caves
Along our trellis'd wall
dreamy sit-the sleepy bird
Flies twittering in the thatch--
To wake to joy when soft is heard
His hand upon the latch
In the shortest winter afternoon
| throw my work aside,
And through the lattice, whilst the moon
Shines mistily and wide,
On the dim upland paths peer,
In vain his form to catch
start delighted as hear
His hand upon the latch
Yes lam his in storm and shine;
For me he tolls all day;
And his heart know is mine,
Both near me and away;
And when he leaves our garden gate
At morn, his steps watch
Then patiently till eve await
