QUEER FREAK OF A RAVEN. -One day
last week, while the hands in the employ
Of Mr.. Felix u. Nichols we're engaged in
binding wheat in the field, a large bird,
supposed to be buzzard, descended from
q great hight, and, circling round and
round, at last alighted on . shock Of
wheat near where two Of the laborers
wero resting. The bird proved to be a
raven, and as it seemed quite tame, one
of the laborers approached it, took it in
his hand, stroked its black, glossy plu-
mage and toyed with it some time. 1t
gave no sign of fear, but remained in the
vicinity and made itself perfectly at home
for several minutes.
At length, when approached by one Of
the other hands, the bird by its manner
plainly said "never more," and took its
flight, circling round aud round just as il
descended. until at last it was lost to sight
in the immense altitude it attained. -
"What this grim, ungainly, gaunt and
ominous bird" meant by such an unusual
proceeding, We can not conjecture; but
no doubt the superstitious will be able to
explsin its mission.-Fultop Telegraph.

CENrRAILIA. Mo. june

l. CENTRAILIA, Mo. June 18th, II.
Mr.. Editor: One Of the most thrill
ing event: Of soissc AsiSs AiSsssE' Das Ss:;
deeply so to oil connected with the Eleo-
trio Telegraph, was heralded here last
Saturday afternoon BY the following an.
nouncement over the wires:
This Saturday evening at nine o'clock
New York time, which will be little
before eight here, Prof Morse will send
q message to all the telegraph Offices IN
the country in which he will manipulate
his name. The body of the message will
be sent by the lady who sent the first
telegram ever sent in America. The occa-
sion is one of unusual interest. 1t 10
Prof. Morse's farewell to the fraternity I"
Imagine how the hearts of the (scat.
tered) hosts Of operators thrilled with
mingled feelings both Of joy and Of sad.
ness, Of joy to be able to witness such .
prodigy of intellectual triumph, sadness
to know it is the last words from our
great "Father of Telegraph"-who is
about to retire from the head of our pro.
fession. The wires will soon be so con.
nected all over the United States and
Cauadas that every Office on the main
line could read it at the same moment.
At the appointed Time every one sat
down at the instruments and from the
hands Of the "Miss Ellsworth" of 1874
alta key iu New York Central Park came
flat hing over one hundred and fifty thou.
sand miles of wires, the following:
10kk SSTn Ill xn1>-,.oko,.
throughout the world, greeting: Peace
on earth, good will to men, God bless
you all. 8. f. B. MORSE"
The signature written steadily and
clearly by tho great inventor in his 80th
year, and the whole message as legible by
sound at this place as if only sent from
Columbia or Mexico, and we presume
the same in the many Offices on the
Pacific coast.
The occasion of sending this message
was the unwilling and dedication of the
statue of Prof Morse at Central Park,
New York, amid an assemblago of the
great and good of our nation. Governor
Hoffman, Henry Ward Beecher and A.
7. Stewart being active participants in
the ceremonies of the great day.
A certain passage Of scripture 80.
lected from Johns Revelations has been
suggested as a suitable inscription for
the base of the statue, viz:
"And the angel which I saw stand
upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted
up his hands to heaven, and sware by
Him that liveth forever X X
that there should be time no longer"
Time is measured by the motion Of the
earth, and when telegram starting from
London with the sunrise, beats it by
three hours into New York, time is
literally mo more, and may We not see
to-day the Angel of the Telegraph strid,
ing land aud sea 10 the ful6llment Of that
prophecy? HENDERSON.

And this is minor phase of the terrible
calamity. In Khorassen the parents are.
selling their children as slaves to the Tur.
comans in order to keep them alive. In
Ispahan, it is said, men have been seized
in the act Of digging up corpses to serve
as food for their starving families. In
