Birds.


Mr.. Wallace, in his recent valuable work
on Natural Selection says: "Our own
! observation must convince us that birds do
Tot go on increasing every year in n geo.
N strical ratio, as they would do. were there
n ot some powerful check TO their natural
increase. Very few birds produce less
thal two young ones each year. while
many have six, eight, or ten; four will
certainly be below the average; and if we
suppose that eecn pair produce young only
four times in their life, that will also be
below the average, surprising them not to
die either by violence or want of food. Yet
at this rate how tremendous wonld be the
increase in few years, from a single pair
A simple calculation will show that in IS
years each pair OF birds would have in
creased to nearly 10000, 00O whereas we
have no reason 10 believe that the number
of the birds Of any country increases at
all in Is or $50 years. With ST. n powers
OF Increase the population must have
reached its limits, and have become sta
tlonary in YER few years after the origin
OF each species. Ii is evident, therefore
that each year an immense number of birds
mast perish as many in fact Ms are born;
and as on the lowest calculation tho pro-
geny are each year twice as numerous as
their parents, II follows that whatever be
the average number Of individuals existing
IN any given country, twice that number
must perish annually. Perhaps the most
remarkable instance OF an immense bird
population is that of the passenger pigeon
of the United States, which lays only one,
or at most two eggs, and is said to rear
generally but one young one. Why is this
bird so extraordinarily abundant, while
others producing two or three times as many
young are much less plentiulp The ex.
planati0n Is not difficult. The food most
congenial to this species, and on which IL
thrives best, il Gbundantly distributed over
an extensive region, Offering such differ.
onces Of soil and climate, that Ia one part
ar another Of the area the supply never
fails. The bird il capable OF q very rapid
and long-continued fight so that it can
pass without fatigue over the whole of the
district It ica&hite and AZ soon as the sup
ply Of food beg ns to fail in one place, Is
able 20 discover fresh feeding ground.
This example stsikingly shows us that the
procuring OF o constant supply Of whole
some i0od is almost the sole condition re.
quistt Tor lnsuring the rapid increase OF
given species, since neither the limited
iecundlty nor the unrestraIDed attacks OF
birds Of prey and OF man are here sufficient
to check it,

cessful operation. Office is mere incl
dent. II is means to an end an agency
BY which men carry through their aims
and measures. Its extinction would not
affect the men nor the measures of day.
And yet because three men who ore per-
sonaily distasteful hold three Offices that
are coveted, perhaps by three other men,
the principle which is applicable to mil
lions of people must be disregarded by the
men who uphold it, until these three men
are dispossessed Of what they hold in
favor of three men who are empty handed.
Everything turns upon the Office. The
mere incident Of parties and of govern
ment is made the arbiter of men, measures
and States. The st. Louis Republican
should change its name. Sensible men
might take it to be the organ of party
which sticks to principles by reading its
title, in which event they would be e1-
c,1sed if they declared the party fraud.
The Republicans do not propose to divide
and dissolve because three men hold three
offices which three other men want

ON CARONpELET STREET,

BY typographical error yesterday
morning, We Were made to say that
Slaughterhouse stock had been offered the
day before at q. The figures should have
been "a. The promise Of IN active move
ment in this stock IVES not realized yes
terday, but nevertheless, the price re-
manned firm, and even had an upward
look. There were no offers at less than
24}}. and 10 bids higher than "a, SO that
the day passed without transactions.
Almost the same thing may be said of all
ether stocks. Literally nothing was done
in them. 1Calcasieu stock has been very
quiet, indeed, scarcely heard of for week
The second assessment is payable to-day,
and no doubt, viii be met with prompt
ness by the stockholders. Al the inforna-
ton received from the mine is favorable,
and fattering results are anticipated
within comparatively short time.
IN regard to the resumption of specie
payments, the circular OF the house of
Henry Clews & Co., dated December 5,
mas the 1Olio"lnS paragraph:
The growing public sentiment in favor of
the earliest possible resumption of specie
payments may be expected to find expres-
sion in the proposal Of measures looking to
that end; but it is questionable whether,
with the crude and contradictory ideas Of
Congress On the methods to be adopted any
really practicable scheme will be reached
At the same time, the earnest discussion of
the subject, with common sympathy with
the end proposed, can hardly fail to have an
important influence on the premium At
the present time, the amount Of gold actu-
ally on the market is comparatively light,
the specie held by the associated hanks, on
the third instant, being only SIT, 100, 900,
against $50, 600.000 at the same period OF
1865 The requirements for export and for
the payment Of customs duties are likely to
reduce the supply materially during the
month, and may expose borrowers Of gold
to the exaction of high rates OF interest,
until the payment of the January interest
on the public debt Contrary to general
expectation, the report Of Secretary Bout
well throws no Light on his future policy re-
speeding the disposal of the government
surplus of gold from which it would seem
reasonable to infer that he favors continu-
ing the sales of gold at about the late rate,
viz: four to five millions per month.
The only sales at the board last night,
were two lots of gold at 11o5, and ten
shares Lafayette Bank at %.
The following were the offers and bids

WANTED---CONFIDENCE.

Jordan and Ryan have gone South TO
ship their eleven hundred recruits, Jordan
refusing to enlist any but old Confed-
erates.-Special dispatch to the Times.
Jordan begins to show some sense. He
served on Beauregards staff long enough
to find out that commander can do but
little unless he enjoys the confidence Of
his troops. He is about to go on raid
against power with which our govern
ment is on friendly terms. There is more
than ordinary risk attending his adven-
lures. He naturally, therefore, looks
around him for men who will accept him
as a military leader in time Of danger, and
is too sensible to expect any old Union
soldier to take any stock in him. A letter
of Recommendation from JEFF. Davis
would be of service to him, as it would
satisfy the ''old Confederates" that 1.-THE
President" has forgiven Jordan for his
letter that was published in Harper's
Magazine. Go for the old Confederates,
Jordan, but keep clear Of the Union
veterans; they would laugh at you.

4 WEAK SUGGESTION.

Of all the great big BOBBY papers
printed in the interest of the De-
mocracy, the st. Louis Republican is GER
tainly the biggest and the boobiest.
Not content with supporting universal
suffrage while denouncing the negroes
as worthless and incapable; not satisfied
with declaring the certainty Of ruin in
the presence Of peace and plenty; not
willing to be liberal while demanding
amnesty, it has added to its list Of in
consistencies the weakness of assuming
that because certain Republicans have
been displaced by other Republicans in
Missouri, the Republican party must perish
unless this thing is changed. That is, a,
party which POUNDS itself on principles and
which seeks Office only to carry out these
principles, must be dissolved and dis
banded, because the Office is not placed to
suit the partialities of certain men. Prin-
ciples are the first consideration in this
country, and parties to enforce them are
the second The friends of free trade, or
the advocates of free farms to the home
less, unite to secure the triumph Of what
they consider to be the true policy Of
republican government. Here We have
principle and party, and SO long as the
measure is practicable and wise its advo-
Gates will stand united in its support AS
an incident of success they must secure
the Offices of government, for through
them aIcne can the idea be put into sue

CHANGE OF RANGE,

1t is source of sincere qualification
TO the REPUBLICAN that the Shreveport
Bulletin has changed the range Of its Chi
nese artillery, SO as to rake the white
people Of Caddo parish, rather than our
selves. It shows that there has been an
eneute in the Democratic camp, and that
the decent people are giving trouble
where they have heretofore been the pas
sive aiders and abettors Of hate and pre-
JUDGE. If the good citizens about
Shreveport now feel the stink-pot bonn
bardment and the bronzed-gong assault,
they will be in situation to realize be-
fore many moons how much bile and con-
fusion has been wasted on the Republican
party by partisans who thought that mas
tiness and noise were good political
