thereof, never giving the paper credit

reading farmers thereabouts. He
said he took three papers, and dur
ing the last year, they had cleared
him Mt least sevonty-fiye dollars
cash, besides many benefits he did
not count. Being interrogatsd, he
said he had found a colt that had
been gone a year, and had been given

A CERTAIN JUDGE while attending

"John don't you drive them cattle

woman, If she be really your friend,
will have sensitive regard for your

will seldom counsel you TO do a shah

THE CARRIER PIGEONS.
How They are Trained.


Balloons and carrier pigeons are
among the prominent agents of COM
munication employed in the Franco
Prussian war. or the former we
have spoken more than once of the
latter we propose saying few words
now, having been frequently asked
as to the paodus operandi. The car
rier pigeon Is larger than the COM
mon pigeon, measuring about fifteen
inches in length and weighing about
one and a quarter pounds. An ap-
pendage of naked skin hangs across
its bill. and continues down on either
side of the lower mandiole. It's val
ue is estimated according to its shape
and size. Its strong, instructive love
of home is the quality, that renders
IL so valuable, and fits 1t for its func-
tions as q carrier. The birds are reg
ularly trained when young, their
trainers taking them at first short
distances from home, and then turn
ing them loose. Those that fail to
return home are considered stupid,
and rejected as valueless. Those that
return home are then taken to great.
er distances, progressively increased
from two miles to | 200 miles. The
good birds return home with uner-
ring certainty. The birds are
sometimes kept In dark place for
some hours before they are used, and
spsringly fed, but abundantly va
tered. The paper on which the mes
sage is written is carefully tied around
the upper part OF the birds leg, but
so as not to impede its flight. An
old English ballad and a line from
Tasso imply that the original way of
suspending the dispatch was from
the wing or around the neck, but the
above method is that now in USE
The employment of the carrier pig
con dates from remote antiquity
The rapidity of the flight Of this bird
Is almost incredible. Audubon speaks
of passenger pigeons shot i'm the
neighborhood Of New York with
their crsws full of rice, which they
could not have procured nearer than
the rice fields of Georgia and Caro-
lima. The same naturalist observes
that they entirely decompose f1od in
twelve hours, the birds which were
killed In the neighborhood OF New
York, must nave travelled between
three and four hundred miles i'm six
hours. When the annual trial Of the
prize for the best carrier pig
cons was decided mt Ghent, in 1868,
twenty-four birds, which had been
conveyed from that place, were
thrown up at Rouen at fifty-five
minutes past nine o'clock i'm the
morning. The distance Is one hund-
red and fifty miles. The first pig
ecu arrived in Ghent in one hour
and half, sixteen came in within
two hours aud a half, and three i'm
the course of the day. Four were
lost. The rate at which the first
bird few was ninety miles i'm the
hour. When thrown up the bird
rises, and when ii has reached a
good height will at first fly round
and round and then make of, con-
tinuing on the wing without stop or
stay, unless prevented, till Its well
known home is reached.

HARD FATE OF DAILY PAPERS,
Several ambitious publishers have
tried the experiment of daities of
late, not with marked success. Par
ties at Cedar Rapids recently COM
mened a morning paper, but found
ii losing concern and have changed
to an evening issue, to avoid the
extra expense of night work. The
Clinton Herald. sone six months
ago, COM mmenced a morning issue.
They have also changed to evening
for the same reason. and now frankly
say that daily paper has no show
in town Of less than twenty thou
sand inhabitants. AS their town
contains only about one-fourth that
number they make decidedly poor
show for their daily. The daily
Statesman, at Des Moines, has sus,
pended. The Bulletin swamped
some months ago. In all these trib-
ulations we see little promise OF for.
