The FiSh-(r0W.

A species of fish crow (C0rrui car
rjHUS) is very abundant i'll Oregon and
Washington territories, where it is very
troublesome to the Indians, stealing
their dried fish and other provisions.
1t is never killed by them, from super
stltlOus feelings, but is driven away by
children set to watch for that purpose.
In wiutcr it subsist5 principally upon
the refuse food and otfal thrown ont bv
the natives from their lodges, and is an
attentive hanger Oh at the residences of
the white settlers. 1t is cunning. but
very tame and impudent, allowing a
very near approach; and when closely
pursued retiring but short distance
Like some species of gull, this bird is
IN the habit of carrying CLANS high in
the air and the dropping them, in order
to break the shell. DR.. Studley says ::
" In watching one thus employed Twas
very much amused at the unsuccessful
endeavors he made to break the shell
of a clam by letting it drop upon soft
ground. He continued for a long time
carrying and recarrying the same clam
high aloft aud fruitlessly dropping it
on the prairie sod. He nevertheless
persisted in his efforts until became
tired of watching him. What the re-
suit was | am unable to state

Baby or Bird.

BY MRS. 6. NJ. B. PIATiT.
But is he Baby or a Bird 2"
Sometimes fancy do not know;
His voice is as sweet as l ever heard
Far up where the light leaves blow.
Then his lovely eyes, think, would see
As clear as Birds in the upper air,
And his red-brown head, it seems to IRE,
Would do for a Bird to bear.
:" If he were Bird" you wisely say,
% He would have some wings to know him by
And he has wings that are flying away
Foreyer-how fast they fly
They are flying with him by day, by night:
Under suns and stars, over storm and snow,
These fair fine wings that elude the sight,
In lovely silence they go.
Come kiss him often you may =
Hush, ne7er talk of this time next year,
For the same small Bird that we pet to-day
Tomorrow is never here!

1t viii be remembered that the State
Department received last spring. from
Ecuador, small quantity Of cundu-
range, together with the most fatter-
tering testimonials Of It's qualities as a
specific cure for cancer, and quite an
excitement was created throughout the
country at its discovery. Hundreds OF
applications for small quantities of it
were received from persons afflicted ;
but as the supply was very limited, the
department could not comply with
these requests. Desiring, however,
that its merits should be fully tested,
portions were sent to prominent physi-
clans in the leading cities with the re-
quest that they would give it a fair
trial and report the result to the de
partment III order that more of 1t might
be procured if it should be found to
to possess the qualities claimed. 4
number of physicians in various local
tiles have already reported to the de
partment that they have given the Gun
durango full and fair trial, and are of
the opinion that it possesses no pecu-
liar merits for the cure Of cancer.
Some express the opinion that it is of
a similar nature TO Virginia snake root
but is of no use for the cure OF cancer

Michael Angelo and his Plan in Art.
From the Fortnightly Review.

The Greeks AIMED at the perfection
Of design, and in so much as the study
of the human form helped them to ar
rive at that perfection, they carried it
further and to a more consumate point
than has ever been done before or
since. But they gave themselves small
scope for the display of human pasaion g,
when they represented it, 1t was III Il
cold and dignified manner which fails
to awaken our sympathies.- The fig
ures of fighting warriors on the pedi-
ment Of the temple of Tgina receive
and infict wounds and meet their
death with fixed smile, which shows
that the artist intended to avoid the
expression of pain or passion. The
Greek artists have the supreme right
to the title of Idealists they are the
true worshippers of the Ideal the
ideal Of beauty once achieved, they
cared not to vary it. Witness the most
perfect specimen of their decorative art
which remains, the most perfect in the
whole world mean the frieze of the
Parthenon. There is not in the humid
dreds of figures which form the Pana-
thenaic procession, except by accidents
ol eAecutloll, any NdildbIoll VI CHARACTER
in the beautiful ideal forms represent
ed, whether they be of man, woman, or
animal enough remains of the faces to
show that they conform to two or three
types throughout, without variety Of
character Of expression; all is as pei
feet as the most profound knowledge,
the most skilful workmanship and the
highest sense of beauty can make it.
but with the great Florentine, the real
istic tendency is obvious from the be
ginning, not TO work up to an ideal of
humanity, but to study it in the count
less forms of beauty and grandeur. and
its ever-varying moods, and to repre-
sent these. as truthfully as the deepest
contemplation of nature could enable
him to do.

Missions Lost Diamonds Found.

Ii will be recollected that Christina
Nilsson, while going to st. Louis from
Memphis, last April, accidentally drop
ped some $4,000 worth of diamonds
from car window on the Iron Noun
tain Railroad. Parties searched several
days for the jewels, bnt without sue
cess, and Miss Nilsson gave them up
for lost. Yesterday, Mrs. Flynn, wife
of a laborer on the railroad, found the
gems opposite her door just outside OF
DeSoto, they having been unearthed by
a fractions calf that she had tied to a
stake near the railroad track. Miss
Nilsson was telegraphed, at Newport,
of the recovery of her treasures, and
she replied that she would present the
Flynn family with $500. The diamonds
Will be expressed to their owner to-
morrow.

Red and Violet Fuchsin Varnish Ter
Printing.

Mr.. A. Mueller recently instituted a
series of experiments for the prepare
ton of a red and violet fuchsin varnish
suitable for printing woven fabrics.
His process, which has proved entirely
successful, consists in mixing an alec
holic solution of gum-shellac with a
like solution Of fuchsin, and exposing
the mixture to different temperatures
in vapor bath. The color changes
with the temperature from rose, ,amar-
anth, reddish, violet, and pure violet to
blue, and can be rendered permanent
at any step in the operation. The var
nish thus obtained, when properly di-
luted with alcohol, is ready for print
ing. The color is fastened in a simple
manner, not as yet disclosed after
which it resists the influence of boilino
water and hot solutions of soda al d
soap, and is not easily affected by
light.

The Lucknow Times reports that a
grand kjte-fying match IS being played
between Representatives of two great

parties, and in few days more we are

A LARGE piece of coal fell on Viz
ginia miner the other day, and crushing
him to the ground, forced the stem of
his pipe through the roof of his mouth,
and out of the top of his head. This

that he is still alive, and is not consid
cred MORALLY wounded.

LET THE PEOPLE CONSIDER

A characteristic of the present age is the
common enterprise or common end.
This is applicable to every class of society.
Men are associated together by common
interest for the promotion of religious, po-
litical, industrial and social organizations.
It is this that holds political parties to-
gether and infuses life and energy into
their ranks. Such association, if properly
controlled, is productive of good. It brings
mind into contact with mind In null
titude of counsel, if it is wise counsel, there
is strength. But in political organizations
the great trouble of the present day is that
corrupt, bad men are always ready to go
into primary meetings, take the lead and
assume to control them, while men of
worth and merit either manifest indiffer-
ence or are too modest to assert their hon.
est opinions in the face Of organized oppo-
sition from the crossroads politician. We
hear constant complaints from the people
that corruption is the order of the day, and
that men in official position are not to be
trusted. We are not prepared to say this
is not true TO a great extent. Men without
brains or patriotism have taken advantage
of the trcublous times which have been
upon us, when the honest people of the
country We're of their guard, and have
foisted themselves into positions for which
they were in nowise fitted The conse-
quence is that the people suffer All over
the country we see the effects OF allowing
bad and incompetent men to discharge du-
ties which require craftsmanship and
patriotism. We see weak Governors,
weak legislators, vicious laws, and blunder-
ing legislation generally.
Where are we to look for arenedy? All
power is Inherent in the people and to
them alone can we look for reform. If
they will rise up in their might and assert
that no more incompetent men or corrupt
men shall be elevated by their suffrages,
or be trusted with their confidence, these
men will soon sink to their natural level,
and the country can but reap benefit.
We desire to see the real people becoming
interested in this matter. Let them at
tend and control primary political meet
lngs, Wnlcn, IN the very nature OF things,
must exercise large influence in political
matters. Letthe farmer sparea day from his
plow and the mechanic from his shop, and
teach these little fellows, who never pro-
duced dollar for the country in their
lives, but who are leeches in society, that
they are not to be leaders. Until some
thing like this comes about, a miserable |
class of beings, unfit either by nature or
education for anything that is useful, |
win occupy an attitude that gives them |
a little brief influence, which is contin- |
uafly exerted for evil, and only evil.
What we have said may be considered |
to the present time, as we
have no election coming off soon, but we
hink it matter of sufficient importance
o demand attention now, when the peo-
de may consider the subject with calm /
less and dehberation, free from the heat
# political campaign, and unbiased by
my undue influences.
