The Tyre Bird.

The London Field says: We have
great pleasure in announcing the ar
rival Of fine, healthy male specimen
of the Tyre bird { Menura saper6o al
the Geological Gardens, Regents
Park. This bird has not hitherto been
imported alive into Europe. 1t is
found only in New South Wales, where
it inhabits the dense scrub and bushes
that are so characteristic of that coun-
try. In consequence of the habits Of
the bird and its extreme shyness, it is
most difficult to shoot, and still more
so to obtain alive. 1t seldom takes to
the wing, but, although as large as a
fair sized fowl, leaps from branch to
branch with extraordinary rapidity,
being capable of springing from the
ground ten feet at spring. Taking
advantage of this habit, it is sometimes
procured by starting it from the
ground by dogs, and shooting iton its
leaping into the branches before it has
had time to make the second bound.
The superb Tyre bird (for there are
two other species is about the size of
fowl; it is of brown color, and
would not be in any way remarkable
were it not for its extraordinary tail.
This mainly consists of two curved
feathers, each about two feet in length
when fully grown; these are SO curved
that they present the exact shape of an
ancient Tyre. Between these curved
feathers are others of filamentous
character, that may be taken, not in
aptly, to represent the strings of the
instrument This tail is carried erect
when the bird is excited; but in fleeing
through the underwood of the brushes
it is allowed to fall horizontally.
The Tyre bird, from its size, was at
FIRST supposed to belong to the rasorial
or gallinaceous group; but more in
innate acquaintance with its structure
and habits proves that it is an insesso-
rial or perching bird. The young are
Matched in a blind and helpless con-
dition, which is not the case in any
poultry birds. The male, moreover,
has, in addition to loud cry, a low
song, which is stated not to be un-
pleasing. The food found in the crops
of those found in Australia consisted
of insects. The bird in the gardens
does not seem fastidious in his tastes
insects, earth-worms, meat, small liz
ards, and other odds and ends of mat
ter appear all acceptable. The tail of
the bird, when in Australia, begins to
grow at the commencement of the
year, and is in full beauty in june.
The specimen in these gardens has the
tail now about half its full length.

The New Orleans Times reports th,
following Solomonic way Of deciding
case which was resorted to in thai
city Q few days ago: .l..as.ay
In decision of Judge Fellows, re.
ported recently, the Judge remarked
upon the extreme difficulty of proving
identity of property where that pro-
perty is a mule. The rule in these
cases where both plaintiff and defend
ant swear point blank to the property,
is to take that evidence as truth which
predomlnates. But Justice of the
Peace Braughn had mule case before
him recently where this rule could not
be followed. So the wise Justice, on
the principle that ''every ass knoweth
his masters crib" determined to ap-
ply the test in this wise: IF the mule
in dispute should, when taken to a
spot within 200 yards of plaintiffs
crib go to it Of his own free will, the
mule should be adjudged to the plain
tiff; if he shouldn't go the mule was
to be adjudged to the defendant, the
present possessor. The mule was
brought to the spot, but failed to
bulge an inch. BY few well admin
istered blows he was prevailed upon
to move, and did so at such rapid
rate that he was soon out of sight
He was followed, headed off, returned
back, and seeing the door of the
plaintiffs yard open, rushed in sure
enough. Like a sensible mule he
made for his fodder. But the plaintiff
did not triumph; the mode was deem
ed compulsory, and the mule was Civ
en- over to the possessor. This mode
is not so just as deciding according to
the weight of the evidence

II is within month of sixteen years since
Louis Napoleon struck liberty an assassins
blow and laid her dead upon the soil of France.
He stole upon her in the night, while she
watched with faithful eyes the land she had
redeemed, and her mortal blow came from the
hand of him whom she had set to guard the
gates against the foe. Never was there
worse treason since the world began never
was there treason SO little looked for; but
never was there one so successful. From that
day to this, one of the most cunning, cold
blooded, unscrupulOus of tyrants has held his
throne, not only against all foreign foes, but
against murmurs, discontents, and warnings
from his own people, and there seems no rea-
son why he should not keep his grip upon the
sceptre until death and old age come hand in
hand and lead him softly to peaceful grave.

The Counter. Revolution and Its Result
Organization of Great Party,

Ahe counter AeVOluglOn and It's Result
Organization OF Great Party,
From The ~. y. Herald.
The political tempest that has swept over
every loyal State of the Udion this fall, up
roofing and scattering the enormous Repubn-
can majorities that have prevailed since 1860,
might readily have been predicted by any one
curious enough to study and intelligent
enough to understand the indications of the
political atmosphere for the past two years.
When the war closed the loyal people ex-
pected at once to reap the advantages of peace
in the restoration of the Southern States as
productive and industrial portions Of the
Union, the decrease of national expenditures
and taxation, and the restoration of CONNER
cial and social intercourse between the several
sections OF the country. 1t was thought that
when the Rebels had Acknowledged the defeat
OF their cause and confOrmed to the new order
of things resulting from the war, all serious
difficulty in the way of reconstruction was at
an end. But the trickery and dishonesty of the
politicians on both sides soon dispelled these IL
luslons, and the disgraceful quarrels that sprang
up between the Executive and Congressional
branches of the Government Threatened TO
undo all that had been accomplished by the
Union armies, and to plunge us into as serious
complications as those from which we had so
recently escaped. The loyal States, although
not wholly satisfied with the part taken by
Congresa, supported the reconstruction policy
OF that body, as embraced in the constitutional
amendment, with singular unanimity; and if
the Republican party had adhered to that set
tlement, there would have been an end to the
matter But the radicals, who had obtained the
position OF leaders IN the organization, drove
their party into subsequent attempts to force
negro supremacy upon the South at the point
of the bayonet; and these acts, with their ter
rible blunders ia questions of finance and
taxation, have brought about their present
reverses. For year past the people have
been growing more and more dissatisfied with
radical misrule, until the gathering clouds Of
doubt and discomfort have at last burst into a
storm that threatens 70 sweep the whole Re
publican party from existence unless they de-

To he Editor Of the Daily Ne'0s: =.
You publish our communication on the stay law

tort its meaning-we aim to show that, Tor many
years, South Carolina has, by Legislative enact
ments, favored the DEBTOR class, and turned aeat
ear to unfortunate creditors. Think of II, that
before Me uar a Just debt could be put OF and
put of, again and again and AGAIN Tor e'gh'een
months or two years after it was due. Cah liiis
be denied? Unfortunately, no. From TINS per-
sistant policy of proc,astnation has grown almost
imperceptably -credit-system, when mas

fortunate but always crelulous victims, tho fac
tors, in bankruptcy, and fixed load OF d'Sdo""y
OF those who have managed their business pru-
IDENTITY and who are now prevented from going for
ward in their several vocations by improvident
debtors who block up the way by partial lesisla-
ton, and when their 'acts" are declared unconsti-
tutonal they crowd themselves on the military and
have done "by order" that. which the Courts say
is wrong. We venture the assertion, that MAORI
of the persons who so influenced General SIcKlEs,
have not paid their debts for twenty years without
the interposition If the Sheriff. We renew our
remarks of yesterday and say that our people
have established for themselves character for Pro-
crastnaton, which is bar to all loans, to all new
credits There is only one way out OF 1t, and 1t Is
this: Put no obstacles in tho way OF settling just
debts; pay up what you can.
1t is one of the worst signs OF the times that our
interior press should be SO persistent in clamorng
for more time for debtors. 1t is only putting OIL
the evil day, which must. sooner or later, come,
and while one class is thus procrastinatng, the
great interests of the State are dwarfed, and the
willing workers are dragged down by this heavy
load Of bankrupt people who refuse to acknoWl-
edge their true and real condition.
