The St. Louis Republican of yester-
day, tells the following story:
While the Belle St Louis on her last
trip was wooding up" at Pacific Place,
which is noted for " full ranks and big
cords" and I" four foot in length, Capt
Alexander Zeigler, the practical and re-
liable commander of the ship, was sur
prised to find something OF over this
length, which he could not object to.
" A rail" not from fence row, but a
bird of this species, the first We ever
saw. 1t was, unfortunately, killed when
captured, and forwarded to the future
Mayor of Memphis, W. L. B., for pre-
servation and reconstruction" under
f" civil right process of his own
NOT used for mummies, but
for birds Captain James Tschudi
will have to put his STUFFED eagle in
separate drawer of dat bureau, for
this 6 burd, for rdiilery, it is novelty
which an ornithologist would admire.
Tschudi should have them both to COM
pete the curiosity shop of his City
of Marble. He is sound on this ques-
ton. Elem. Calvert has selected the
d" Bull of the woods for his "coat of
arms :" Bob X. Riley, the Grey Hound"
while Zeigler has at his prov the
Mule" Whether it represents 10.
Shelby's, which attempted to carry Ms
souri, out of the Union, Capt Alex. can't
tell But who will have the rail is the
question.
