CHANGE OF HABITS IN BIRDs.-M. Pouchet
says that the common swallow of Europe has
modified the shape of its nest within fifty
years 1t is certain that many birds have
changed their nest building habits within an
historical period. Some have learned to use
thread in preference to grass. The common
swallow and the chimney must have
built differently before they had the use of
caves and ehimneys. The old swallow-nests
were globular, with very small rounded
opening. The new nests are long and oval,
and the opening is long slit, four or five
times as long as high, close to the top of the
nest, where it meets the wall above it. This
is an improvement on the old nest, as the
young are not so crowded, and can reach out
their heads for fresh air, while their pre-
sence does not impede the ingress of the
parents.

THE SUICIDAL MANIA.
A Prisoner Hangs Himself in the
Second Police Station,

The number of suicides and attempts at
suicide of late have become perfectly star
tling. Hardly week has passed for months
that we have not had to record an unfortu-
nate case of death from this cause. The SUBJ
jcct Of this notice WA. German by the name
of Henry Bartling. SO years OF age. about five
feet eight inches in height. light hair, and
rather heavily built. He resided in the
western part OF the city, and followed the
trade of a scissors grinder. -
As the story goes, Bartling was married
to q woman reported to be we'll off in this
worlds goods, but the two never lived hap
PLY together, although he is said to have
been greatly attached to his wife.
Some time. in July, 1870, Bartling was
sent to the chain-gang to serve twelve
months for some offence of which he had
been adjndged guilty. While there be be-
haved himself well. and won the good will
of the officers who had him in charge and
under whom he worked. Several times,
however, he expressed the intention of
taking his own life, and on more than one
occasion asked for razor with which to
cut his throat. During his idle time he
amused himself in the manufacture OF va
rious articles; among the number was an
ordinary plated whip-thong made Of leath-
er. 1t was with this that he took his life.
He was discharged from Jail on Monday
last, and went Immediately to his former
homo, hoping to find his wife, but she in
the meantime had left for parts unknown,
and it is stated sold all of the household
furniture. This, it is thought, had such
an effect upon him that he commenced
drinking again, and it was while intoXi-
Gated that he was arrested and locked up,
as detailed in the DISPATCH of Saturday.
Shortly before II O'Clock on Friday night,
Sergeant Smoot had occasion to remove
him from cell No. in which he had first
been placed, in order to make room for
other prisoners who had been brought in.
Opening the door, the officer called to
Bartling, who made no response, and on
going i'll, found him standing with his back
TO the door, his face resting on his arm,
which was laid on the window sill. One
end Of the leather was fast to the iron graf
ing over the window, and the other tight
around his ncck-the man stiff and dead.
1t was evident from his position that his
neck had not been broken, but that he had
really met his death by strangulation.
On Saturday, morning, between g and I
O'Clock, an inquest was held by the Deputy
Coroner, the jury bringing in 2 verdict that
the deceased had come to his death in ac-
cordancc with the facts above recited, and
that no blame could be attached to the Of
ticers at the station-house, several o! whom
testified before the jury.

WHEELER's CAsE.-Mention was made in
the Dispatch some days since of the trial
and conviction of Bette Anderson, q per-
son of ill fame, for stealing S15 from W.. w.
Wheeler. On Friday night Wheeler was
arrested for creating disturbance in the
street. He had gone into Goyernator's
restaurant, near the market, and after hay
ing gotten meal, went out without paying
for it. Young Goyernator went after MIN
and chastised him for attempting 10 leaVe
without settling up. Juslce Whlte hearo
the case Saturday, and allowed Wheeler to
depart on his promise to leave the city and
90 to his home in Charlottesville at once.
His name has heretofore been printed as
". N. Wheeling, sr9.

ANOTHER CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
On Saturday night, about . O'Clock, col.
orcd man by the name of Tom Scott, who
is a striker at Bosher's shop, and lives in
rear of StcarnS'S stables, OIL Clay street,
near 9th, attempted to take his life by i'm
bibing an ounce of lallGanum. 1t seems
that Tom fell in love with white woman
by the name of Mary Pitts about two or
three months ago, aud on Monday she told
him he must stop visiting her. IL WAS this
ful cInctic, which did not seem TO have any
effect until Il stomach pump was applied.
This, however, served The purpose, and in
Il short time he was up and walking about.
1t is hardly probable Tom will try it again,
rs this will teach him lesson.

The HOLLYWOOD GHOST AGGIN.-On Fri
day night last one of the officers of the mid
die police district found Mary Smith (the
HOLLYWOOD ghost) wandering about the
streets in her usual mysterious Way. When
taken in, charge she begged to be, let of,
and assured the officer that She had just
come to town, and would go again from
the tyifallowed TO depart. She waslocked
mn, however. and on Saturday morning
discharged by Justice White, with his usual
reprimand.
There seems to be some mystery concern
ING this woman, but what it is, 1t is hard
TO discover. She is perfectly inoflensiye,
however, and has nothing to say except
when closely questioned.
