A Jealous Sparrow's Revenge

In the interior of the Tyne
Dock wagon shops the attention
of one of the workmen was at
tracted by the movements of a
pair of sparrows engaged in the
construction Of a nest in hollow
where two iron girders met for
the support of the iron roof For
several days they iabored moat as
siduously in preparing their abode
when, by some sudden freak, the
progress Of the tiny fabric was
suspended. A few mornings af-
terward the ears of the workmen
were saluted by loud chirruping
and the futtering of the wings,and
from what transpired subsequently
it was evident that the female bird
had severed the connubial bond,
and enlisted the affections of an
other, who now vigorously con-
tended with the rejected bird for
the possession of the nest. For
several hours the conflict contin-
ued, until the usurper proved the
strongest. The rejected bird short
ly afterward returned and hovered
about the spot, apparently watch
ing an opportunity for revenge
This speedily occurred, for in the
course of short time the newly
Joined pair left for brief period.
In their absence the defeated spar
row approached the nest, and plac-
inc his back beneath the feathery
mass, raised it from its resting place,
and sent it to the ground. The
surprise Of the other birds on their
return at beholding the demolition
of their dwelling appeared to be
great, and was amusing to observe,
Notwithstanding this disaster, how
ever, they commenced building a
second nest in the same place, the
rejected mate watching their pro-
coedings with apparent interest,
After two days of incessant hard
labor, they again left for short
time, and, taking advantage of their
absence, the disappointed bird
again demolished their residence
The birds, on their return, com
menced building upon their third
nest, with what result we know
not Our FIrestde.

How to Solve the Temperance
Problem.

We extract the following from al
article contributed by Horace Gree
ley to the New York Independ
ent:
The peril of Prohibition is thai
too many regard and treat it as
though it we're intended to sup
plant, not supplement, voluntary
efforts. Having resolved for and
carried a Prohibitory law, too
many regard that as rendering fur
ther effort on their part supurhu.
Gus. So, laying their heads con.
tentedly on the statute, they fall
asleep; and wake after a while, to
find the act a nullity and Liquor
Traffic more prevalent and more
destructive than ever before.
Hence, l am impelled to regard
with favor the principle which
would enable each locality to IL
cense or prohibit the liquor Tr6ffic
as a majority of its legal voters
shall decide. l would prefer to
take the question by counties, and
l would not object to it's decision
by each city and township for itself.
/ would prefer to have the ques-
ton resubmitted annually-say, at
the State election-the decision to
be operative throughout the year
ensuing. This would bring the
matter home to thousands who now
drink-often to excess-without
having once earnestly considered
the right or wrong of so doing. l
would like often to commend the
question of Indulgence or Absti-
nence to the consideration and de-
cision of every voter. | would like
to make every one who tacitly up
upholds the Liquor Traffic fully
conscious that he does so. There
are thousands who are pillars of
the temple of Bacchus who would
shrink from Admitting the
fact, even to themselves.
could wish also to make the ad-
vocates of Total Abstinence real
lze that their duty is but half dis
charged by their personal absti-
nence from strong drink. / would
have them vote as they feel, and
then act as they will have voted. If
two-thirds of the voters in town
ship shall vote to have no more
grog-shops therein, they will inev-
itably feel impelled to second their
vote by acts. They will proceed to
enforce the laws which they have
pronounced righteous, the penal
ties they have declared just and
beneGcent. The vote against Ii
censo will be public notice to rum
sellers to quit, and to Temperance
men that, should the traffic be per
sisted in, it is their duty to enforce
the laws which forbid it.
Scion being asked if his code was
the best possible, responded that it
was tile best that his people would
bear. Jesus clearly implies that
Moses respected a kindred limita-
ton. I purpose to be admonished
and instructed by his transcendent
wisdom.

Double Barreled BeneRo1ence

The following are some oGthe re
marks OF Senator Catch, ) from
Greene, Clinton and /Fayette coun
ties, made when the Soldiers Or
phans' Home Bill was pending II
the Legislature: There are pro
visions in this bill, and which have
been injected into it since its first
appearance upon our desks, which
are unworthy Of a place in a bill
SO manifestly just and impartial in
its terms as this one WAS when il
first came from the hands of its au.
thor,-proyisions, sir, which have
the ring Of harshness and cruelty
which SAVIOR more of the spirit and
bearing of an autocrat towards his
serfs and yagrant paupers than of
the spirit and bearing Of an honor
able debtor towards a long iorbear-
ing, neglected, and suffering credit
or. While a measure having for
its object what is claimed for this
one should carry with it at least all
the charity and all the honor that
are conceded to the inmates of our
asylums, and, in addition to that,
fuliillment Of our obligations as
debtors to these representatives OF
our fallen soldiers, yet it has failed
in all. AS to the charity proposed,
it is needless to say this bill, in its
present shape, is a perfect blank.
As to the honor itproposes to con
fer, it provides for the removal Of
these children away to an obscure,
secluded and desolate place, away
from our public thoroughfares
away from family, friends and ac,
quaintances, and away from socie.
ty, out of the reach of those kind
ly minis.rations SO essential espe.
cially to children; deprived of pa
rental care, as well in health as in
affliction and distress. And, sir,
this is not all. 1t proposes to
stow these children away in the old
deserted tents that were construct
ed originally for summer use only,
and which are unfit for anything
else, but more recently designod,as
declared in the act Of last winter,
for evil disposed and vicious girls,
taken there by the sherifs, upon
criminal warrants issued by the pro-
bate judges Of the several counties
of the State. And this is the hon
or it proposes to confer. While
our idiotic and other children of the
infirm element Of society are hon
ored with stately mansions in our
great cities, and especially here in
the capital Of our State, surely,
these representatives ofthe men we
once delighted to honor, at least
with promises and 1attery, if moth
ing else, have fallen greatly below
par. AS to any fulfillment of our
obligations to these children, there
Is not the first sign of recogni-
ton.

How They Know the Yankee.

One day last fall, says a writer
in company with an eminent clergy
man, Of London, was making IN,
way toward the Thames Tunnel
when we we're stopped by an timer
ant vender Of pictures, who seem
ed to know my companion:
"Buy some Of these pictures o

them to your American friend tc

quiet laugh. you're American all
oUer."

asked him to explain himself.
Il would know you by your soft

American fashion"
"Well-if it were not for that p
He glanced down at my feet.
"Your boots would betray you.
Nobody but Americans wear square

"Well-what else 2"
"Your chin whiskers. English
men always wear the mutton chop

"Not at all I am seeking for in

"Well, nay friend" said, 81 fan.

whiskers, and had a face as red and
chubby as any in Britain--would

umphantly replied. "You Ameri-

1t was even so. In Paris l was
importuned to buy picture of La
Fayette, because he was "ze friend
of all Americans" in Geona a dir
ty vagabond was clamorous to ex-
hibit to me the house where Col
umbus was born, because he dis,
covered "the signor's great coun-
trees" and at Alexandria the eli
max was capped by ragged little
descendent of the Pharoahs, who
besought me to take a ride on his

So it seems that the individual
American is known all over the

TRANSMISSION of Blood Success
fully Performed on a Young
Lady.

The readers of this paper will re-
member the report Of an interest
ing experiment of TRANSMISSION OF
blood into the veins of a dog, per
formed at Rush Medical College
last Wednesday by Drs. Fleet and
Hunt. The carotid artery of the
animal was severed, and the blood
allo wed to run out until the animal
was apparently lifeless. An Incl
sion was then made in the jugular
vein, and the blood was injected
back into the animals system, with
the effect Of restoring him to life
The account of this interesting
experiment given to the Post, was
noticed by the friends of a young
lady in Iowa, who had been for
some time wasting away with dis
ease, supposed to be consumption,
and they sent for Dr. Freer to come
and make the experiment Of trans
fusing blood into her system. DR.,
Hunt, Of the Faculty of Rush Col
lege, responded to the call, and
found the patient in q very low
condition. He proceeded to take
some sixteen ounces of blood from
the arm of young brother of the
girl, and injected it into her veins.
The patient went into comatose
condition, and it was found that
still more of the vital fluid was nee
essary. Another supply was
drawn from sister of the invalid
and injected. and finally a third
supply from another brother, about
ten years of age thirty-six ounces
of warm, living blood being thus
conveyed into the system of the
young woman within a few hours.
The event is not yet determined,
though the prospects Of recovery
are very hopeful, if the lungs are
not too nearly destroyed. If the
disease is only incipient, it is tho't
that life and health will be restored.
This experiment is the only one Of
the kind ever attempted in the
West, and It'll very rare elsewhere,
though it has been tried with sue
cess. The result in this case will
be anxiously looked fobnot only BY
the friends of the patient, but by
the scientific world generally

countless quantities of fish, mingled with
mud and clay, are sometimes vOmited out
