This being the season of unripe fruit,
a Massachusetts newspaper makes pertinent
suggestions concerning the same-for in
stance, that it is well to whip soundly all
small boys found near orchards on general
preventive principles. 1t is likewise well
to feel their pockets whenever they enter
the domestic domicile. To find the deadly
apple there indicates an intention to eat,
and to find none shows that they havo
already been eaten. Either way there is
but one thing which an able and eonscien-
tious parent can consistently do. But,
however much he does this thing there is
no hope of parting the average small boy
from his beloved green apple. Not if
every apple tree in the country were guard
ed by ghost and dozen rattlesnakes
would the Small Boy foGego his favorte
fruit.

SOD HOUSES.
NEBRASKA BROWN FRONTS.
BY PROF. j. d. BUTLER.

The last United States census of Nebras-
ka farms showed one acre of woodland for
every three under tillage. Nevertheless a
large portion of that State is timberless.
South of the Platte River lumber for build
ings is chiefly obtained from Chicago or
the Mississippi River, via the railroad run
ming westward from Burlington. But such
lumber is expensive, one third more so than
in New England, and many pioneer has
no money or next to none. How then can
a sod house himself, mourning no expense
whatever, except for a door and window,
which he can buy ready made for 81 at any
railroad station.
The sod house builder finds his material
ready to his hand, in every furrow of the
virgin prairie his plows turns up. The
sods, compacted by the tramp of buffaloes
and bound together by the roots of the
"devil's shoe-string and every other veg
etable product, form better bricks than the
Hebrews could have furnished Pharaoh
even before he denied them straw. Out of
this prairie quarry about nine days labor
of one man suffices to complete sod-houss
fifteen feet square on the inside,-a dwell
ling warmer in winter and cooler in sum-
mer than any frame house. have seen
such an abode nine years old, yet still in
good repair. Many jewellers in houses of
this sort, have assured me that they have
suffered nothing from dampness, even when
they had no floors, no ceilings, no plaster
ing, nor paper hangings. But all these
four additions soon garnish the original
simplicity of many sod-houses.
The very roofs of sod houses are often
made of sods, supported by poles, which
the settler can cut along the banks of every
water course. But if he lives ne ar no
stream, he must buy at least rafters, and
perhaps boards and shingles for covering
his house top. Sod roofs are warmer,
lumber roofs are less likely to leak. This
novel style of architecture is increasingly
popular and prevalent in Central Nebraska.
A majority of the dwellings on the home
steads in Saline and York counties, along
the Burlington and Missouri River Rail-
road as it pushes west from Lincoln, are
sod-houses. No doubt those in other coun-
ties are so too. So are the habitations of
many among the 1000 buyers of railroad
land Of the Burlington and Missouri River
Railroad Company.
In weeks ride just now through the
sod-house region,-while calling at many
doors and entering not a few, l have found
no man, no woman, no child, home-sick
for the land they came from. On the 9TH
er hand, all were full of heart and hope,-
assured that by becoming landlords they
were about TO become the lords of the land.
AS the Homestead Bill gives them free
farms, so the sods give them free houses;
and they are doubtful which is the better
boon

FEEDING THE PIGEONS.

The greatest retail oyster dealer in the
world is dead. His name was Sidney Dor
Ion, and for many years he had stall in
Fulton Market, New York. From being
an oyster fisherman he rose to the dignity
of dealer, and his place in the market
was so extensive as to require thirty men
to pay proper attention to his multitude of
customers. He made specially of serving
up every thing in first class style, and he
earned respectable fortune. When Thack
cray was in this country he eat oysters at
Dorlon's, and among his customers were
Charles Dickens, Horace Greeley, Charles
Sumner, Senator Douglas, Charles Kean
and Charles Matthews.

Mr.. G.. G. Fulton, of the Baltimore Amer
lean, describes in one of his recent letters
from Venice, singular custom of the city
of the Dodges of
FEEDING THE PIGEONS.
We have before noticed the fact that the
pigeons of Venice have not only the free
dom of the City, but are fed at o'clock
every afternoon in the Square of St. Marks
at the public expense. They are the pets
of the people, and to injure or throw
stone at one of them would cause the per-
petrator to be sent to the guard house.
They not only make their nests among the
statuary and the ornamental portions Of
St. Marks Cathedral, and the ewes of the
elegant structures surrounding the square,
but the windows of tho lofts of these build
ings are left open and free access given to
them. Thus they have multiplied to many
thousands, and have also scattered all over
the city, making their nests among the
statuary of all the churches.
At2 o'clock yesterday afternoon we re-
paired to the Square to witness the pro-
cess of feeding. At the moment the bronze
man on the town-clock struck the first
blow, announcing two o'clock, they came
in by thousands and swept up the Square
towards the window from which they are
daily fed, and hundreds of them even en-
tered the room. The man who does the
feeding was entirely hidden from view, and
the scramble of the birds indica' ed that
the strongest Jared best. A few minutes
before the window was opened boy placed
a little paper of corn in the hands Of one
of our paper. On throwing some of it on
the pavement the pigeons literally SWARM
ed over him and eat from our hands.
AS to the meaning of this care for the
pigeons there is no settled theory. 1t is
said by some that on one occasion during
the Venitian wars whilst the city was in
great danger, carrier pigeon carried the
information and brought succor and re-
lief. 1t has been custom for centuries
thus to feed them and the old chroniclers
differ as to its origin. One says that on
Palm Sunday it was the custom to loose
pigeons, many OF winch repaired LOT Shell
ter to St. Marks, and multiplying with
time, they remained around the square as
the best place for obtaining food. The
practice of maintaining pigeons at public
expense is vesy general in Russia and
Persia, as we'll as among the Arabs, and
the custom might easily have been carried
over by Venitian merchants. There is no
doubt, however, the stained and blackened
condition of the marble structures on this
square is in great measure due to the
superabundance of pigeons.

SO the World Goes.

One Of the resolutions passed by the
Conservative state Convention in Virginia
is curious. 1t pledges the Conservative
party in that State TO cooperation with the
President in every measure of his Admin
istration which may be beneRcent In its
design and calculated to promote the well
fare of the people and to cultivate senti-
ments OF good will between the different
sections of the Union. The resolution
neglects TO say, however, whether the
seizure of the Government of Louisiana
by military force for the purpose of turn
ing 1t over to crew of plundering carpet
paggers and negroes headed by a brother
in-law is regarded by Nirginians Us a
benencent measure.
This remarkable resolution is succeeded
by another, which explains the first IL
expresses the belief that the completion of
the James River and Kanawha Canal by
the national Government. would be an ad-
ditiOnal bond of union between the COM
munities whose products and commodities
would pass over the line of that work.
The authors of these resolutions are evil
IDENTIFY under the impression that il de-
pends upon President GRANT whether Con-
grcss shall vote forty or eighty millions OF
dollars for the proposed canal; and it wus
doubtless their intention to placatc him by
adopting the resolution first mentioned.
These worthy gentlemen are laboring
under II double delusion. In the first place
it does not rest with President GRANT to
say whether the James River canal shall
be carried through; and in the second
place, If it did all the conciiatory resolil-
tions the people might pass between now
and doomsday would not induce him TO
favor any scheme for the benefit of the
State IL they do not elect HUGHEs, the can
didntc he has provided for them-unless,
indeed. he should see very great amount
of money in the job for his favorites. In
that case ne would probably urge the as
sumption of the undertaking by Govern
ment ithout regard to anything which
the Virginia Conservatives should either
say or do.
The main work that the Virginia Conser-
vatives have before them is that of Sc
curing the right of self-government. and
they NAV hud that more difficult task
than they anticipate. They may be sure
that the Administration will use evory
means at its command, fair and unfair. TO
gain control of the State Government, and
If tat object is attained it will make very
little difference TO the people whether
they get the James River and Kanawha
Canal or not. Let them look at Louisiana
South Carolina, and Florida if they wish to
see what Virginia would be under the Ad-
ministntion Of GRANT Republicans. And
then let them leave of passing meaning
less resolutions and go TO work like men 10
carry the approaching elections, unless
they are willing to be reduced to a condi-
tion as pitiabe as that of their brethren in
those States which have felt the full effects
Of GRANTS policy.

10 the Constitution was an unsettled moot
question" Now on that very triel, Mr..
NICHOLAS, one Of the counsel for the de-
fendant and at that time Attorney General
of Virginia, said: at seems to be admitted
on all hands that when the Legislature ex-
ercise n power not given them by the
Constitution, the judiciary will disregard
their acts"
Furthermore as our contemporary seems
so anxious to be hypercritical, we will re-
mind him that It was for attempting to
argue 10 the j,uD that the law was uncon-
stitutional that the counsel of CALLENDER
were stopped: their right 10 argue this to
the Court was freely accorded.
The World charges THE SUN with at
tempting to throw dust in the eyes OF its
readers. If the World means this literally
we assure the editor that such thing
would be quite impossible. Just consider
what, with circulation of over a hundred
and twenty thousand, the whole num-
Der OF our readers must be! To throw
dust in their eyes-evcn IL we used the
cheapest Coney Island sand-would cost a
mint of money. Besides, with what kind
of a machine could il he donel Oh, no
such II thing Is impossible. IL the World
uses the language metaphorically, 1t is
just as greatly mistaken. What we labor
to put before the eyes of our readers is the
very cream of the news Of the day and the
brightest thoughts that are aHoat. We
copy the very best things OF our negLbors.
We have long read the World, faithfully,
in the hope of finding something in that
worth copying. II came very near having
something the other day when II made up
its latest article on "The Law of Libel in
the Federal Courts " in good part by long
extract from The Sun, We dare say our
contemporary was compimented that
morning from the many am ong its readers
who had only time TO read this extract,
and that the opinion began TO grow that
the Worid was getting to he sound, con-
stitutional journal.
