What DO Birds Eat.

A paper under this title, by John W.
Robson, formerly of Illinois. and now of
Kansas, was read before the Northern
Illinois Horticultural Society at its late
session at Princeton. The essay was re-
plete with facts, gathered under the per-
sOnal observation of the essayist, and
from notes taken at the time we reproduce
the following: The red tailed buZZard
feeds upon squirrels, rabbits, rats and
mice and, therefore, it is the farmers
friend The sparrow-hawk occasionally
takes barn-yard fowl, but feeds princi-
pally on mice and moles. The king bird
eats gadfiies, BOTTLES, and various other in
sects-and sometimes fruit but are not
destructive to fruit to any great degree.
The great crested fly-catcher, the pewee,
are fast friends of the orchardist, and
live on insects, solely. The bobolink eats
the seeds of weeds, insects, and at the
South, rice. SpOrtsmen eagerly kill it
for the delicacy of its flesh.
The red winged black-bird in the spring
lives principally on cut-worms, wire
worms, caterpillars, and the Larvae of nOx-
ious insects; later they attack corn, and
also eat the seeds of various plants The
purple grackle follows the plowman in
the spring. and destroys the larvae of
many noxious insects. The Baltimore
oriole feeds on beetles, curculio, pea cur
culiO, and the long-snouted nut weevil
Ana we may adu, In parentheSlS, 1t is
thoroughly detested by the fruit grower
in Southern Illinois. The orchard oriole,
a wren, is too little known and appreci-
ated by orchardists. 1t devours hosts Of
worms and noxious insects, and is the
most industrious bird the writer knows.
The meadow lark lives principally on
subterranean Larvae. The blue jay, this
pert and snowy bird, the writer considers
mean, deceitful, tyrannical and sly yet
he is one of the few birds which eats the
orchard caterpillar.
The butcher bird is one of the most in
dustriOus of the feathered tribe, and feeds
on caterpillars, spiders, grasshoppers, etc.
The cedar bird eats the canker worm.
The white breasted nuthatch and Amer-
can creeper live ON tree insects solely.
Robins eat grubs, the Larvae of the May
beetle, and cut worms, and are especially
destructive to Strawberries. The brown
thrush and cat-bird destroy the same class
of insects, and also eat ripe berries. Blue
birds live exclusively on insects and their
larva, and are especially destructive to
the canker worm and codling moth. The
finch family include about twenty varie-
ties and subdivisions. They spread over

large tracts of country, in search of
grubs, Larvae of insects and seeds. The
American red start is gay little fellow,
fitting about from place to place, after
swarms of flies. The warblers are great
service to the farmer and horticulturist,
for they destroy great multitudes of noN-
ious insects.
House wrens-the patient. persevering,
and yet brave little fellows-feed eNciu-
sively on caterpillars and insects. The
black-capped tit-mouse eats the larvae and
cocoons of the codling moth.
Wood-peckers are the true laborers for
man, their chief food being tree Larvae.
The American or rain-crow is a quiet
bird, having a timid and retiring dispo-
sition. He CUTS the tent of every orchard
caterpillar he meets. The American par
fridge, or quail, is one of the intermitting
destroyers of the chinch-bug and the
striped pumpkin bug; and is one of the
most valuable of birds to the farmer and
horticulturist. The essayist believed that
farmers and horticulturists had not dis
eliminated enough between friends and
foes; and he noticed a number of cases
where the indiscriminate slaughter of
birds had worked evil to the products of
the farm and Garden Western Rural

Cassius NJ. Clay to the People of
Kentucky.

To the People of kentucky:
The platform and the candidates of the
Cincinnati Convention are before YOU.
The first avows all the great principles
upon which our Government was found
ed, and which have given our country a
growth and prosperity unknown before
in history. The candidates are men of
unquestioned ability, patriotism and hon
esty. There is no liberty without law,
and no form of government can exist
but despotism when the Treasury is
robbed with impunity. L. S. Grant has
usurped all the powers of Government
the judicial and legislative being added to
the executive. He habitually and obsti-
nately violates the laws of the land, and
allows the Treasury, knowingly, to be
robbed. To-day we live under a central
lied despotism, impelled by the lowest
instincts, tastes and self-indulgence !;
which, unlike European aristocracies,
shares nothing with the people, but alb
serbs all their substance for camp follow
ers who are equally corrupt and vicious.
The Philadelphia Convention, composed.
as was never before seen in our nation, of
Ofhce-hOlders and time-servers, have
shown themselves fit followers of Grant.
Nothing remains to us but the union of
all lovers of liberty and manhood upon
the Cincinnati nominees, or defeat and
the unlimited rule of the Grant conspira-
tors. Kentuckians, we have no love for
party, or personal past, or future aspira-
tiOns. above country. Join us, then, and
save the nation Let honest men rule
let amnesty restore the States to their
legitimate rights let the military Weld to
the civil power let the National Govern
ment return to constitutional law, and let
all citizens, of every race and condition,
stand equal in civil and political liberty
before the law We have a majority on
these great issues. Let not party, in
ferior questions, or personal ambitions
lose us and the world self government.
Now, to-day, we must save ourselves :;
another day may be forever too late

The Franking Privilege.

THE contempt for popular intelligence
exhibited by the Grant faction is shown
by the effrontery of the Philadelphia
Convention in making as one of the
planks of its platform the declaration that
the party favors the abolition of the
tracking privilege.
Four years ago the Convention which
nominated Gen. Grant made similar
declarations; but although the Admins
tration party has had an overwhelming
majority in both Houses of Congress ever
since, every attempt to abolish the privi-
lege has met with summary defeat. And
during Grants term of Office the abuses of
the franking privilege have been more
bold, more glaring, and more persistent
than ever before. Servile newspapers,
apologizing for the corruptions of the
Administration, have been circulated free
through the mails; and the practice of
Congressman lending the use of their
names to cover the business correspond
ence of their friends has become so COM
mon that the Post Office clerks in Wash
ington do not pretend to discriminate be-
tween genuine and forged signatures on
franked mail matter left for transmission.
Circulars of almost every imaginable
character. intended to promote private
business-interests, have been sent broad
cast over the land at the expense of the
taxpayers by means of Congressmen's
franks, for which the officials who have
abused their privilege may or may not
have received pecuniary or other COM
pensation. Within few weeks Senator
Edmunds, who has lately developed a re-
markable capacity for the transaction of
small business, has been scattering
through Vermont under his frank cir
cular urging people to subscribe for a
Grant newspaper, coupled with a mean
insinuation intended to injure the New
York Tribune.
In the face of such facts, it is an insult
to the intelligence of the people for the
officeholders' party to pretend that they
favor any reform in this matter. Every
body knows that they do not.-Neao York

given why Lyons Kathairon should be used by
every Intelligent human being in preference to

fbers, muItiplies them, and makes them grow; be-
cause 1t thus prevents them from whitening and
bleaching because it removes the scurf and dandrui
which choke them, as tares choke the golden grain
because 1t keeps the scalp cool and prevents erup
lions because it renders the hair ustrous satin;
because it it plant and elastic; because it is

out rival in cheapness. and because other article

try, possesses all, onehalf of these invaua-

INTOXICATING NOsTRUMs.-The per-
sons who have scruples of conscience
against perpendicular drinking" at tav
ern bars, can become blind drunk on al
most any of the advertised ''tonics" or
''invigOrants" in half an hour. There is,
however, one exception to this rule. Ne
body can ''get over the bay on VINEGAR
BITTERs, for the simple reason that this
famous renovating and regulating medi-
cine contains no ditfusive stimulants of
any kind. Yet its ength-reserving
properties are marvellous. 1t restores the
relish for food when all other appetizers
fail imparts unwonted vi gor to the diges-
tive functions regulates the flow of bile;
soothes the nervous system; promotes
healthful sleep; and tends to produce
that condition of body and brain which
is supposed to be most conducive to
longevity and the enjoyment of life. Its
specific effects in acute and chronic disor-
ders affecting the stomach, the bowels,
the spine, the kidneys, the fleshy fibre,
the muscles and the lungs, are considered
by competent judges the most extraordi-
nary medical phenomena of the age. Vim
egar Btters has now larger sale than
any of the spirituous astringents, and its
immense popularity in land where the
| people observe closely, test thoroughly
and act independently, is in itself suf-
| ticient guarantee of the excellence of the
| medicine. We recommend it to all.
