/ Mrs. Matthews has now in her possession
the silver shoe-buckles of General Wash.
ington-part of the tokens which the
chieftain gave his beloved attendant. 1t
was while at Washingtons headquarters
that Colfax made the acquaintance of Gen
eral Schuyler and married into his family,
whereby our candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency adds to his name that of the heroic
PATRON of Albany. When Colfax was
nominated the other day, George Schuyler
sent his cousinly congratulation.
Captain Colfax became General Colfax
in the war of 1912. 1t is pleasant to
recollect that the hand which Washington
had shaken so intimately and so trustingly,
has also often caressed in his grandson the
as intimate and beloved friend of Lincoln.
The war of independence and the war of
freedom are represented alike in Grant
and Colfax. Both are grandsons Of sol
diers of the revolution Colfax shows his
good extraction in his clear complexion,
ruby lips, fine eyes and the excellent lustre
Of his hair. Grant looks like the sturdy
soldier of the line, bearing toughly up with
the bayonet against the tedious fortunes
Of the battle. Being what they were in
parentage and patriotism, who could eA-
Dect to find them but where they stand
At the head of the life-guards of the Re-
public?

The Birdie haTmer.

One day when crossing the garden of the
Tuileries, in Paris, | saw in the distance a
group of people.
Being desirous to know what it was that
they were regarding with so much interest
| hastened on, and found that the object OF
their attention was - the bird charmer " OF
whom all the world has heard, and who was
now about to give daily repast to his feath-
cred trends.
With his hat on his head, and his cane
under his arm, he stood by himself in the
grand walk, near the ratings of the private
gardens and taking some small pieces OF
bread from his pocket, threw them one by
one in the air.
The sparrows soon came, and as each
piece was thrown, one or the other caught
it before it fell and went off with it.
Sometimes several of them flew at one
piece, and disputed for the possession. Al
others, in their impatience, they flew close
to the face of their benefactor, as if to de-
mand their share.
Shortly several pigeons, who no donbt
had seen their friend from long distance
arrived, and alighted on the ground, the
bird-charmer put morsel of bread between
his lips, and held out his hand one of the
pigeons came aud settled on it. and took
the bread from his mouth then, gently
thrown off by slight movement of the
hand perched on the pedestal of a statue
close by, whilst another pigeon took its
place.
Several birds came thus in succession
and some. whilst waiting their turn, perched
familiarly upon the other arm of the char
mer.
The people who were gathered around
and children who left their play TO look
at this amusing spectacle, did not IN the
least frighten the birds indeed they took
no notice of them, and seemed to see only
this man in whom they had placed their
confidence, and who appeared to have abso-
lutte power over them.
What is the secret of the bird-charmer
which makes him thus the master of these
timid birds
Nothing, certainly, but patience, gentle
ness, and the food which he offers them he
employs no other witchcraft.
No doubt he is very careful not to fright
en- them in any way, not to speak loudly
or to make any rough, hasty gesture. Thus

come bolder by degrees, till now they re-
gard their protector with the same freedom
and familiarity that they do the trees upon
which they feed, and where they build their
nests,
In India where the love of birds is car
ried so far as to take care of them in hospi
tails when sick or infrm, we find results yet
more surprising There the jays are so
tame they fly freely in at the open doors
and windows of the houses, and species
of sparrow will go and fech any small article
which may be named by their master.
A French traveller of the late century re-
lates that one of the kings of Labor had
large bands of tame pigeons in his palace,
which he had trained to take part in a
mock battle.
He had taught them to range themselves
in phalanx-to attack, pursue, rush into
the thick of the fight, then to return to

Fashionable Weddings.

Lucia G.. Calhoun writes in the New
York Ledger of fashionable weddings, and
administers to her sisters reproof which
would be wholesome, if taken, but which,
of course, will have no more effect than
beating a tin pan. There are one or two
newspapers which prepare for their readers
a detailed account of the most fashionable
which take place from time to
time-entering into all the particulars,
from the curl of the groom's moustache to

The SIAxEsE TwINs.-The Siamese twins,
Chang and Eng, are going to Paris, for the
purpose of having the ligament which has
always united them, divided by a surgical
operation. They have determined to risk a
dissolution of partnership, for fear that at
their advanced age, sixty-nine years, some
disease may attack one and prove fatal to
both. The bond of union is a massive link
of thoroughly normal and perfectly vitalized
integument, situated near the vital organs,
and which the most expert Paris surgeons
decided twenty years ago could not be safely
severed. The result of the experiment will
be awaited with great interest, particularly
by medical and scientific men.

NEGRO Schools AT ANDERSON WILL
Chaplain Woodwork writes from Ander-
sonville:
More than two years ago the Ameri-
can Missionary Association decided to
establish colored schools at Andersonviile.
But who would 60? Miss s. NJ. Battey, of
Providence heard that teacher was desired
for the place, and at once volunteered her
services, though before she had had no in
clination for the work She was accepted.
and started for her field, expecting to go
alone; but she was agreeably disappointed
to find that two other ladies had been COM
missione1 to be her associates. The op-
position they met would have deferred les.
resolute minds The rebels were fufious,
and declared that they should not start a
negro school there. They resorted to all
sorts of means to intimidate the girls, sur
rounding the house, night after night,
howilng like demons, and uttering all the
filth and blasphemy of which the lowest ma
lures are capable.
:" Miss Battey told me that she had seen
a dozen faces looking into her window of
an evening, as sinister and malignant as
she had ever conceived. For six months
she slept with her revolver under her pill
low,expecting any night they might attempt
to carry out their threats of what was worse
than death. But they never went to ex-
tremities evidently having a wholesome
fear of that sweet-faced, quiet girl, who
had set herself down in their midst, to do
work for Christ and the poor. The victory
was long since won, and the girls are now
in undisturbed possession of the field, hav-
ing a day school seventy-fve, and night
school of forty. In addition to this they
have gathered the people together on the
Sabbath, and spoken to them the words of
eternal life, and some of them they have led
to Christ When | was there we had in
tended to form a Congregational church,
but as those who should have composed it
could not be got together during our brief
stay. the idea was abandoned for the time,
but it will be carried out ere long"
