President Grants Letter.

THE letter of President Grant, in
response to that of the President and
Vice-President of the National Republi-
can Convention, officially informing him
of his unanimous denomination at Phila-
delphia, is model of brevity and con-
ciseness. Its terseness, its modesty, and
its grateful tone, are the true reflection of
that unostentatious character he has borne
from the dawn OF his brilliant career to
its elimination in the chief office of the
nation. Its vigor furnishes the key to
that quality of indomitable perseverance
which led him onward steadily, from
small successes to important and decisive
victories, until he stood at the head of the
army and became the first soldier in the
world. Its grasp and comprehensiveness
mark alike the distinguished General and
the great statesman; while its frank ad-
missions of past errors and mistakes, and
its expression of confidence that expert
ence will guard him against their repe-
tition in the future, illustrates that rare
blending of modesty and self-reliance, the
union of which in one person goes to
make up the strongest human character.
The entire letter breathes the genuine
spirit of patriotism, devotion to country,
and conciliation to opponents, whether
political or otherwise; land its closing
paragraph, expressing a F'desire. to see the
speedy healing of all bitterness of feeling
between sections, parties or races of
citizens, and the time when the title of
citizen carries with it all the protection
and privileges to the humblest that it does
to the most exalted" is alike a. reflection
of the past history of the action of the
Republican party and the watchword of
| its future policy. The letter is worthy
the high character and reputation of its
distinguished author, and equally worthy
nation to the Presidency it so gracefully
and with such becoming expression of
gratitude accepts.-Inter- Ocean.

the happy idea of having real plates; the
wealthy furnished themselves with valua-
BILE ones of silver, and eventually the
common people were provided with
such as their circumstances admitted,
made of wood or pewter, and finally
earthenware came into use
But in those days they were well con-
tent with the primitive arrangement of the
trenchers. The bread thus used soaked
up the gravy, and became quite savory In
consequence; and when the meal was end
ed each one ate his plate if he chose;
otherwise, it was put into the alms-basket,
which was always kept ready, and into
which all the leavings were gathered, and
sent out to the poor waiting at the gate
the poor were never forgotten in those
old Saxon households.
Every one had his drinking horn or
cup; usually it was horn, often elabor-
ately carved, and ornamented with gold
and silver, and considered very valua-
BILE article among a mans possessions.
The drinking horn was sometimes left by
will as a special gift, as one would now
bequeath a diamond ring or costly
watch. In the transfer of land, before
the custom of witnessing by seal was in
troduced, the owner gave something in
pledge, as an assurance or token of the
contract, and in such cases it was not un.
common to make use of the drinking,
horn. One family held his estate from
Canute by his drinking-horn. That was
their soleproof. One gets from this fact
an idea of the value which was attached
to this article of personal property.
The drinking horns (and glasses after.
wards) were so made that they could not
be kept in an upright position; therefore
it became necessary as soon as they were
filled to swallow their contents at once
From their propensity to fall over is said
to have come our word "tumbler," as ap
piled to a drinking-glass-HearM ana

A Plea for the Bird.

BARON VoN TsCHUDI, the well-known
Swiss naturalist, says:
Without birds, successful agriculture
is impossible. They annihilate, in few
months, greater number of destructive
insects than human hands can accom-
plish in the same number of years.
Among the most useful birds for this pur-
pose may be classed the swallow, wren,
robin redbreast, sparrow and finch.
Tschudi tested q titmouse upon rose
bushes of his neighbor, and rid the same
in few hours of innumerable lice. A
robin redbreast killed in the neighbor
hood of eight hundred flies in an hour.
A pair of night swallows destroyed in fif-
teen minutes an immense swarm of gnats.
A pair of wrens flew thirty-six times an
hour, with insects in their bills, to their
nests. He considers the sparrow very
important a pair of them, in single day,
carry three hundred worms or caterpillars
to their nests-certainly a good compen-
sation for the few cherries which they
pluck from trees. The generality of
small birds carry to their young ones,
during the feeding period, nothing but
insects, worms, snails, spiders, etc.
ga farmer Indignantly destroys robin
because he has caught him eating cherry,
and thinks he has done mankind service
in so doing; but let him take a moment
to open the crop of the bird, and he will
find it full of worms. In some instances
200 worms and grubs have been found in
the gizzard of a single bird. An oriole
shot in field OF wheat had 200 weevils
in its crop. A pair of orioles (parent
birdsl destroyed 1000 caterpillars in a
day. The commissioners appointed by the
French Government have reported with
an accuracy characteristic of French
legislation. 1t has been decided that by
no agency save that of little birds can the
ravages of insects be kept down. A GER
tain insect was found to lay 1000 eggs,
but a certain titmouse was found to eat
200, 900 of these eggs in a year. A swallow
devours about $50 insects day, eggs and
all. A house sparrow's nest in the city OF
Paris was found to contain 700 pairs oi
the upper wings of cock-chafers, though
of course, in such place, food of Other
kinds was procurable in abundance.
'The blue bird, in some respects, re
minds one of the English robin redbreast
though as an insect destroyer it surpasse:
the English bird. Its food consists of al
kinds of insects, especially the Larvae o.
the codling moth, and canker worms anc
caterpillars of every description are quick
" destroyed. The birds arrive in time t.
destroy the female moth, as it ascends thu
tree in early spring to deposit its eggs"
