Birds Should Not be Killed.

The killing of birds should be prohibited by
law, if that be necessary to protect them, for
they are the best protectors of the crops of the
agriculturists and horticulturists They feed
chiefly on insects which destroy the grain and
fruit crops. 1.-The warbers, says Samuels.

trees the fy-catchers seize these insects as
they fly from the trees the swallows capture
those which have escaped all these the wood
peckers destroy them when in the larva state
in the wood the wrens, nut-hatches titmice
and creepers eat the eggs and the young that
live on and beneath the bark; the robins and

work together in perfect harmony-interfered

Cuba which was referred in both Houses, to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. The President
thinks that the disturbances do not amount to
war In an international point of view, that the
Spanards have made no progress in subduing
the insurrection, and, after commenting on their
cruelties, states that the neutrality observed by
this Government is in conformity with the
examples of his predecessors.

Keep Your Family Paper.

An exchange we'll and truly says that the last
| thing that should be given up, in we'll organ
lied family, is the regular, weekly, local pa per-
Times may be hard and money scarce, but In
the midst OF the greatest financial distress the
most difficult thing to dispense with is the
family newspaper. There are few persons who
will do it under any circumstances, and the wis
dom of their decision is manifest. The news
paper is man at the look out. 1t keeps the
| farmer advised of the changes and fluctuations
| of the markets; OF the current news and items
of the day; of the regulations of the financial
policy Of the country; of. everything that per
tains to the farming and business interests, and
| is, therefore. guide-board which in hard times
is the best friend and counsellor. 1t is valua-
BILE on account of the information it brings reg
ularly to our doors, and which if sought after
elsewhere could not be obtained for ten times
the amount of years subscription. None but
the most hopelessy ignorant will stop their
newspapers on account of the hard times When
they do so they throw away and rule out of their
family the only thing which may save them in
an extremity. The newspaper costs less than a
penny day, and yet very often by containing
piece of information valuable to the farmer
and business man. may save him thousands of
dollars If economy and retrenchment are nee
essary Ia your expenditures, commence else
where than with the family newspaper. 1t
would be like Topping on the head OF the fowl
to save the rest of its body from destruction
like killing the goose that lays the golden egg
to save the few grains of corn required for its
nourishment. The newspaper not only keeps
you advised of the state of the market and con-
tains information that touches your every day
interest, but is, at the same time, an educator
in your family. Your wives and children read
it and are enlightened. The latest inventions
and discoveries in agriculture, the arts and
scicLces find place in its columns and by
filing it away you have yearly register ofevents
and things to which you can always refer with
pleasure and profit. 1t is the greatest of tenn
poral, as the Bible is the greatest of spiritua
blessings; never to be parted with while the
eyes can read and the mind has the capacity te
comprehend.

Jos. a. Waddell. Senator.

The Enquirer thus compliments the Senator
Of this District:
Mr.. Waddeil, Of Augusta, is the temporary
president of the Senate, and is remarkable for
his quiet manner. He never occupies the floor
of the Senate in running debate on questions in
which neither the State nor his constituents are
specially interested, but when matters are under
consideration which concern either, he speaks
and always to the point No Senator commands
more respect or attention"
