Wonderful Faeulty-Natural Charmer
of Birds and Animals.

All read with great interest tha &C
counts given by travellers of the
snake charmers Of India, aud the ex.
traordinary instances in which wild
birds are tanned by hermits, and quite
recently the cat tanner of Paris has
been made the subject of newspaper
comment throughout the world and
yet we have in our midst a man who
possesses the power eff attracting and
tanning birds and animals of all kinds.
This gentleman is Q returned Cai>
ifornian who resides in the Ninth
Ward, in the neighborhood of Twen-
ty>first and Woodbridge streets. He
has travelled throughout the West
and new Territories, and i'll his trav-
cling has discovered the art of which
we now speak.
Last autumn he commenced tam.
ing the birds frequently in his neigh
borhood, and now has succeeded in
concentrating a large flock of wild
birds of different kinds who come ire.
quently at his call, perching upon his
head and shoulders, and vieing with
each other for his caresses. When
he makes his appearance they come
flying from the neighboring trees, in
all directions, surrounding him, and
running about as carelessly and un>
concernedIy as a flock of barn>yard
fowls.
We have not as yet had an oppor
tunity of calling upon this gentle
man, but we have been informed by
his neighhors that, at certain regu.
lar hours, the birds congregate to be
fed, and that at other times, wheh
persons desire to witness this unusu
al sight, he can, in moment, sum
mon his hock OF little pets. He has
braved all the hardships OF pio>
neer's life, yet il he has reaped no
other advantage from it. has in the
acquisition Of this art laid up for
himself hours of pleasure which
will last him for Cincinnati

The ATLANTIC MoNTHLY-The
June number of this magazine con>
tains very scholarly and Interesting
article on The Idlmud, which, every
one may not know is an old Hebrew
book containing summary OF the
traditions and laws of the Jews. AS
a specimen of the book we here give
the origin of drunkenness:
While Noah was planting his vine
yard, the Devil comes to him and says
What are you doing here, Noah ?
Planting u vineyard, says Noah
What is the use of a vineyard ? says
the Devil. It's fruit, says Noah,
whether fresh or dry, is sweet and
good, and its wine gladdens the heart.
Let us work it on shares, says the De-
vii. Agreed, says Noah. Now, what
does the Devil do? He brings a
lamb and lion, hog and q monkey,
sacrifices them on the spot, and min
giles their blood with the SOIL
Wherefore if a man only eats the
fruit of the vineyard he is mild and
gentle as lamb if he drinks the
wine he imagines himself a lion, and
falls into mischief; if he drinks habit
ually, he becomes unmannerly and
disgusting as a hog if he gets drunk,
he jabbers and jumps, and is silly and
nasty as a monkey.
The other articles in the atlantic
for June are, Beauty of Trees, Two
Families, Theophie Gantier, Casa
Guidi Win lows, st. Michael's Night,
Abyssinia and King Theodore, The
Discovery of Etherization, A Castle
of Incidence, Vix Thrift, A Week in
Capri, A June Idyle and Reviews
