1t appeaars that the Moa, the name
given by the New Healanders to the
large wingless birds whose bones are oc-
casionally found in swamps, forests,
aud other out.ofthe way places in that
country, is not yet extinct, as has been
generally supposed. 1t is stated, ac-
eording to the Melbourne Argus, that q
very large bird, much larger than any
emu. exists in the back portion OF run
in the Waiu district, on the west side OF
the Waiu, and adjoining the large bush
which stretches to the west coast OF
New Zealand. Its tracks and footsteps
have been repeatedly seen, and on a
recent occasion shepherd started the
bird itself out of patch Of manuka
scrub with his sheep dog The bird ran
from the dog until it reached the brow
of q terrace above him, and some thirty
or forty wards of, when it turned on the
dog. who Immediately and wisely return
ed as fast as it could to the shepherd s
heels. The moa stood for fully ten min
utes on the brow Of the terrace, bending
its long neck up and down exactly as
the black swan does when disturbed
IL is described as being very much higher
than any emu ever seen in Australia,
and as standing very nueh more erect
on its legs. The color of It's feathers Is
sort OF silvery gray, with greenish
streaks through it. If this story Is true
it destroys the notion which has hitherto
prevailed, that no large moas have been
seen alive since about 1850.

Novel HOrse-PrOtectOr.

From the New YORK MALL
1t is common thing in our cities to
protect the heads of draft horses with a
bonnet or cushion to keep off the blaze
of the sun. But Dublin protector pro-
poses to extend a similar protection
over the entire animal He makes a
frame OF wood, whale.bone, iron rods, or
other flexible or strong material and
this he places over the horse, few
inches above him, the frame being sup
ported either by attachment to the har-
ness, or to the thills OF the vehicle
Upon the frame he stretches a piece OF
canvas, oiled cloth, or sheet rubber,
which forms complete pent house to
keep of either rain or sun. The space
between the animal and the covering
permits free passage of air, which aids
transportation, and hell to keep the
animal cool. The principle, as far as
this is concerned, is similar to that OF
the odd, oval-shaped hats worn by men
in the East Indies from time immemo-
rial. These comprise light frame OF
bamboo slips encircling the forehead
and sustaining a covering lined with
cork an inch above, and out OF contact
with the head. The slight rustling of
the breeze through ones hair is said to
be very refreshing, and quite possibly
horse furnished with one of the new
protectors may coincide with this
experience during hot summer days.

offered an opportunity Of pricking a
hole ia the pasteboard he refused That
was day OF mourning for the Bonapart-
lists Well, said Poirier 10 his friend,
when the latter had told him who aud
what NJ Perrin, whom he had never seen
in his life. was, I'll sign n paragraph
insulting Perrin. Dupont has called him
a pasteboafd General, I'll call him cir.
Gus General, and that can't fail TO draw
him, If he means fighting. SO said, so
done M. Perrin at once wrote to Nj.
Poirier at the office OF the Pays, de-
manding satisfaction. The letter was
opened in the absence Of NJ. Poirier by
NJ Rogat, who accepted the duel, with
all the more alacrity as he himself was
not to be either principal or second to il.
When NJ. Poirier came to the Office in
the course Of the afternoon, he learned
that he was to fight duel with swords
at four clock next morning at the Vesi-
net, near St. Germain. His friends had
kindly taken all the bother Of preliminary
preparations off his hands. On meeting
his friend Of the day before at the same
place on the Boulevards he shook him

ever, his friend could not give him; and
NJ Poirier made NJ. Perin's acquaint-
ance at Vesinet, only few minutes
before he placed himself face to face
with him to take away his life if he could.
The denoument was not so tragical. M.
Perrin received two wounds and M. Poi

DueIing In Frnncc.

Under the head of Secret History OF
the Last Political Duel" the Paris cor
respondent of the Manchester Guardian
writes: Very few people, even in
France, and still fewer in England,
know why or how political duels are got
up. As a rule, l never notice these abb
surd and harmless combats, but the
secret history Of the recent duel between
NJ. Perrin, the deputy, and NJ Poirier,
one of the staff Of the Pays newspaper
is so curious and instructive as to de-
serve a special mention, the more so as
the affair has been variously and mac
curately related by your contempora-
ries. NJ. Perrin is Radical, and during
the war was attached to the camp
at Toulouse in the capacity of civil
general. M. Poirier is an ex-Zouave,
who, though attached to the editorial
staff of the Pays, who never wrote a
paragraph in his life. His functions on
the Bonapartist paper are to sign ag-
gressive and personal articles, and to
receive irritable people who come to ask
for explanations. In fact he is pro-
fessed fire-eater, like many other good
swordsmen attached to different Paris
papers on the same terms as himself
When he receives visit he is expected
by M. Cassagnac to do as Sir Lucius
O'Trigger himself would were he now
alive and member of the militant press.
About fortnight ago NJ. Poirier signed
virulent attack on AZ. Oudry, one of the
proprietors of the newly discovered fres-
Goes of Raffielle, bought by the Govern
ment Of Thiers. Nj. 0udry called on M.
Poirier, aud proved to him that he had
signed tissue of errors, and exposed
himself to an action for libel. NJ. Poi
rier, who is an honest man at bottom,
promised that the damage should be re-
paired in the next days paper; but
while he vas making the promise,
another editor Of the Pays was correct
ing, unknown to him, the proofs of a
still more virulent attack on M. 0udry
and the frescoes. The surprise Of M.
0udry next day may be imagined. he
paid second visit to Nj. Poirier, who
honorably apologized But NJ. de Cas-
sagnac, who does not admit Of excuses
or apologies being made by a nan whom
he pays expressly TO fight, gave NJ. Poi
rier a months notice. : This is a great
bore, said N. Poirier 70 a gentleman
whom be met the same day on the Boule-
wards. Ny reputation and salary are
at stake. II / could only get une aifaire
with some Republican or Radical, Cas-
sagnac could not for shame give me the
sack after risking my life fer the Pays.

A letter from Yeddo, japan, says: A
Life of Washington is. announced by a
Yeddo publisher This literary novelty
is brought out in no less than iorty-four
volumes in the Japanese characters, and
is proiusely illustrated IN the highest
style of art. Washington is represented
in the clothes and fashion of the present
day, and with mustache, carrying a
cane, and accompanied by a skye.ter-
rer. He is gazing at lady with train,
a Grecian bend, and hideous waterfall

as it is great curiosity in itself, the
book would be great addition to the

Com mons,

The Tranq utility of the House OF
Commons.
Z "The British lion, writes Don Piatt,
does not roar on the floor of the House
of Commons. That process known to
us of flying the eagle is unknown
here. When the British beast roars he
does it out at sea, or on some barbarous
coast, where every roar is good for four
or five hundred slaughtered barbarlans.
Here all is quiet The orators, if we
may call them such, drawl along in such
a manner that if you shut your eyes you
can imagine Dundreary below letting
loose his opinions. But one feels, all
the while, that slow and quiet as it may
be, business is being done. The mem
bers are not accommodated with desks
upon which to write electioneering let
ters. Not newspaper was to be seen.
No groups of people conversing inter
rupted debate, and the subject under
consideration was made the question to
be treated of. We had no long-winded
buncombe speeches, made up and spoken
without regard to the business on hand.
The very confusion and noise that
breaks out occasionally helps on the
proper legislation, for it is process by
which bores are put down. If man
has anything to say, and the ability to
say it, he will not be coughed or cried
