further attention to it, surprising he had been
struck by pebble. Two weeks after he felt a
severe pain in his head, and called upon doc
tor relative to examine it. An examination of
the spot showed some hard substance beneath
the skin, and on cutting the wound open a small
sized fattened bullet was extracted above the
right temple, to the great surprise of Gibbons.
Mr.. Fielding, an extensive wine merchant of

the paper publishing this communication for

1t has been claimed that Colonel Higginsou
was a Greeleyite, but letter from him in the
Woman's Journal contradicts that report. The
following extract has some interest. After
mentioning the woman suffrage resolution of
the republican platform as one reason for re-
naming with that party, he adds:
ri ought in fairness to say that am, on other
grounds, supporter OF General Grant, as the
republican nominee. If the republicans had
nominated somebody else. should have liked
it better; and if Mr.. Greeley had been nomi-
mated by some other party, should have liked
him better than now do. But so far as the in
dividusl nominees are concerned, | do not think
the election of either would be half so great an
evil as the excessive virulence with which the
partisans of each are attacking the other. As
for the vice presidents, have known Henry
Wilson too many years not TO prefer him TO his
rival. But it seems TO me that the contest is
becoming every day less one of nominees and
more OF party organizations. The lines be-
tween republican and democrat, indeed, appear
likely to be drawn more closely than ever, be-
cause the democratic party has the hope of
new lease of lie; and this being the case, am
against it. As friend of mine, Roman Cath
ole convert, used meekly to say of herself that
she was can unworthy but very bigoted Catho-
lic," so am an unworthy and toleraoly obsti-
nate republican, while the democratic name or
organization survives. 7. W. Il"

TEACHING BIRDS TO SING TUNEs.-1This is
done in the town of Fulda, where they keep
regular educational institutions for buldnches.
They place the young birds into classes OF six to
ten each, and keep them in the dark, turning a
little hand-organ for them when they are fed.
Finally, the birds commence to associate the
music with the feeding, and when hungry COM
mence to sing few notes of the tunes they hear
daily. Those who do so are at once placed in a
more cheerful room, when some light is admit
ted. This encourages them and makes them
more liN ely; then they like to sing, and soon
taught more. The most difficult part is the
starting of the birds, some of which have to be
kept long while in the dark, and on starvation
ratiOns, before their obstnacy is overcome. In
order to teach them several tunes they receive
(aIter being thus taught in classes) private in
structiOns from the little boys of Fuda, each of
whom has few private pupils of this sort.
Their education lasts nine months, when it is
completed, and the birds sent into the world as
accomplished performers. The principal mar
kets are London, Paris and New York. They
are valued in Europe at $40 for every tame they
can sing, so one who can sing three tunes
costs 800. In New York they bring even more
than that.

PRISON RECORDS AT FAULT.-The Lancaster
(Pa.) Express says: "a very interesting case
has been unraveled by Thomas j. Davis, ESQ,
solicitor to the board of prison inspectors. One
Of the conycts in the prison, Isaac Boulder, SEN
fenced to an imprisonment of eight years and
three months on four indictments, three for lar
ceny and one for highway robbery, began TO
calculate recently that his term of Imprisonment
would soon expire. He was originally sentenced
to the eastern penitentiary, but undcr the new
law was brought to our county prison about
three years ago He called the attention of Mr..
Ment5er the prison keeper, to the fact that his
time would soon expire. Mr.. Mentzer consulted
the records, and found that Boulder had been
sentenced to eleven years and three months.
Thinking that the man was trying TO deceive
him, he laughed at the trick, and Informed the
prisoner that he was three years ahead of time.
Boulder was completely stricken at this an
nouncement, protested that he distinctly iecol-
lected the sentence of the court; that it was
only for eight years and three months, and sum
moned Mr.. Davis to his aid. That gentleman
consulted the records of the court, and found
that Boulder was right-a mistake of three years
had been made in filling out the commitment.
de at once acquainted the prison authorities of
the matter. and conveyed the welcome intelli.
gence to the prisoner, who will be released about
the 10Th OF September next.

WONDERFUL SELF-CoNTROL.-Two years
ago George Scott, one of a gang of desperadoes
in New York city, committed a robbery for
which he ought 10 have received ten years in the
state prison. When he was arrested he feigncd
to be deaf and dumb. Upon his trial he made
much OF his in6rmity, and the result was that
he succeeded in escaping with sentence of only
two years. Being transferred from Sing Sing to
Auburn prison, he still kept up appearances, by
means of which he escaped doing heavy work
and was assigned to duty in shoe shop No. 1, as
waiter, being supposed to be fit for no more
valuable service. He was sharp, ready, and in
telligent, and generally well behaved, though
hot tempered. Keeper Bacon, under whom he
was placed, had him always under strict sur
VIGILANCE, but never was led TO suspect by any
thing in his conduct that he was not deaf and
dumb. Indeed, he says that he once saw
Scott, who always went in the shop by the name
of dummy" so reused up and maddened by
something that had happened that he thought
he would 90 crazy, but he never gave a sign
that he was otherwise than he seemed in respect
TO hearing and speaking. About two months
ago DnmmyS time was up, and he was dis
charged. To give him a start in life again
Keeper Bacon hired him to do some gardening.
Principal Keeper Gallup did the same. He
worked in this way for two or three weeks.
While at his work children would talk to him
and play around him, yet he was apparently
oblivious of their presence. But Dummy had a
tongue, and could use it, and his hearing was
as keen as anybodys. One day he fell in with
fellow convict, who had just been discharged
from prison, and they went off up the street to-
gether, falling glibly. Capt. Russell, foreman
in one OF the departments of the prison, who
was on the street, overheard their conversation
and on another occasion it occurred that one of
the keepers met Dummy at Louis Schuch's, and
and talked with him for a long time.-Auburn
