Whistling In Court.

SOLOMON was called upon to decide
some knotty cases of law and equity in
his time, and the records of his court are
esteemed pretty good authority. Among
other cases ne had to decide one about
the ownership of a child which was claim
ed by two motherly women. A suit some
thing like this lately came before Gin
cinnati Justice, and was decided on SINH
lar principles. A railroad man had an
educated mocking-bird in his office. The
bird could do a great many tricks with
his voice, and among other initiative ut
terances he could mimic locomotive
whistle and turn himself into full-fedg-
ed calliope upon provocation. He was
a little lame in his left leg, and among
some peculiarities of plumage he had one
extra long feather in his tail. The bird
disappeared from his cage one day. The
owner in day Or two visited the shop OF
a bird man to look around among the
tuneful prisoners. One fellow appeared
to know him, but the man had no recol-
lection Of his feathered acquaintance. He
looked at him closely, and the bird SEEM
ed to say by the twinkle of his eye and
the set of his head: Don't you know
me?" This bird appeared to be lame in
his right leg, and had no particularly
long tail-feather AS the railroad man
was turning away the bird got up steam
and gave the shrill whistle of a locomo-
tive, and danced round like conductor
threading the aisle of Car. There could
be no doubt about it, but how changed!
The railroad man asked the merchant
where he got that bird? He had bought
him, of course, but he could not tell from
whom. The owner claimed his bird, but
the merchant did not recognize his claim,
so he case was taken to court, and the
bird too. The bird man and five of his
friends all swore like parrots that the
bird had just come up from the South,
and could not, therefore, be claimants
bird. The railroad mans witnesses, even
could not recognize the bird in court as
their old acquaintance, with lame left
leg and a long tail feather. The owner
was confident, however, and told the
Judge that if the bird would only speak
he could settle the matter. Then the bird,
as if he knew the case was going against
him, did speak, and the Judge told the
man to take his bird. 1t was found that
his feathers had been pulled, and cut, and
stained, and that toe-nail on his right
foot had been twisted and pinch off, so as
to make it lower than the other one. But
the mocking-bird was believed in court
before the oaths of half-a-dozen men.
This case of evidence will never be found
in any of the law-books.-St. Louis Re
D1tbEEcG71.

a fanning-mill so much like one used for
cleaning grain that casual observer
would not note the difference. Having
been separated from the sawdust here,
they are carried to large tanks, into the
bottom of which are placed perforated
blocks of tin. Alternate layers of pins
and tin blocks are placed in these tanks
until they are filled, when the whole mass
is boiled by steam This gives them the
silver color noticed, and is sort of gal
vanizing process, which keeps them from
coroding. When taken out of these tanks
they are emptied into large sink and
washed. Thence they are again taken to
the revolving casks, where they go through
the process of polishing and drying, and
then through the fanning-mill again.
They are now ready for the papers, and
are taken to room presided over by
young ladies, each of whom has formid-
able-looking machine at her side, looking
like a cross between pair of counter
scales and loom. About two feet above
the table where the operator sits is hop
per filled with pins, and shaken by ma
chinery like the hopper in a Touring
mill. The pins are shaken out OF this
hopper on to an inclined iron plane, with
groove Ill IHc CtHteI JUST ldISC OHouSH
to permit all but the head of the pin to
fall through This plane, with the groove
in the middle reaches downward to an
iron rack, on which are indentations just
large enough to receive the pins. This
rack is moved with lever, and as it is
pushed along, at the end of the groove
containing the pins shaken out of the hop
per, row of them fall into the indenta-
lions on the rack. A movement of the
lever throws the rack to the left of the
plane, and directly over strip of paper
designed to receive them, The movement
of another lever drives the row of pins
quietly and evenly through the ridges on
the paper, and the process is again re-
peated. Of course all this is done in a
moment. If we count briskly, one, two
three, and calculate row of pins for
every time we utter "three," we have a
pretty good idea of the time required for
this part of the work. Having got the
pins in the paper, nothing remains but to
fold and pack them, when they are ready
for market.-Cor. Chicago er-Ocean.

How Pins Are Made.

The wire is of the size suitable for ordi-
nary pins, and the first thing required is
to straighten it. This is done by placing
it on reel, whence it is passed between
fifteen or twenty polished steel rollers,
arranged much like the keys of violin,
the last two being placed together, so that
as the wire passes out from between them
it becomes perfectly straight and is
wound loosely on immense spools. These
spools are hung on pegs until they are
wanted at the machines. They are then
placed on Standard and the thread of
wire conducted into the machine. The
first thing which this ingenious little au-
tomaton does is to cut the wire the requir-
ed length. In a moment afterward the
pin falls into vessel at the bottom, COM
plete. To describe the process by which
this is accomplished would take more
time than is required to manufacture
enough pins to last an ordinary family
five years. Almost at the instant that the
wire is cut, little hammer flying in and
out so fast that it is hardly discernible,
strikes it square on the end, and literally
"puts head on it." Another finger
pushes it sideways on smooth plane un-
der number of CUTTERS" so arranged
that the lower half of the pins are rolled
swiftly underneath them to the extreme
right of the machines. These cutters
make about 1000 revolutions minute,
and are so constructed as to point the pins
while they hurry them toward the re-
ceiver. Looking at the rows of pins COM
ing swiftly over the iron apron one is puz-
zled to know what suddenly becomes of
them. They are constantly approaching
but never reaching you. But at the end
where the line terminates is tin spout,
and so quickly do the pins disappear into
this that one does not see what becomes
of them until close scrutiny reveals it.
At the end of the spout are small tin YES
sells holding quart or so, and beside them
larger vessels. The small pans are used
to first receive the pins, in order that if
the machines get to working badly and
making imperfect articles, the fact may be
discovered before they have become mixed
with the larger quantities, which would
necessitate the rejection of all in the same
vessel. When the pins drop into these
pans they are, as before indicated, COM
plete, so far as the form is concerned, but
they are not yet ready for market by any
means. They are covered with oil, and
the thin brass filings of the wire, and must
be cleansed. They are taken into another
room where are two large revolving casks.
These casks are partially filled with saw
dust, and into them is also emptied a
sNshel OF, two of pins. After a thorough
stalking up here the pins and saw
dust together are taken to still an
other room, where they are run through

We see no reason to doubt the state
ment in so far as it relates to General
DICK TAYLOR. The latter was class
mate OF the Presidents at West Point,
and strong personal friendship has
been maintained between him and
President GRANT until the present time.
He was sent to Washington last winter
in the interest OF the people OF Louisi-
ana and was cordially received, and 1t
ia altogether likely that the President
was influenced by him TO prepare the
message recognizing the legality OF the
McENERY government.
MoRroN's interference Is also proba-
DIE. Although severely denouncing
Judge DURELL's course in favor OF
the KELLOGG faction, Senator MORTON
WIS the stoutest advocate in the Senate
for recognition OF the usurpation and,
if the New Orleans Htra!Es story be
true, is more responsible than any 9TH
er man in the nation for the evils that
now afflict the State OF Louisiana.

The New Orleans Herald is authority
for the statement that President GRANT
informed General DICK TAYLOR last
winter that he intended to recognize the
McENERY government as the legal
government OF the State OF LOUISIANA
unless Congress should declare in favor
of the preteusiors Of KELLOGG andCom-
pauy. A message to this effect was pre-"
pared; was shown to aid approved by
General TAYLOR and was to be trans
mitted to Congress the next day. In
the meantime Senator MORTON heard
of it and, going to the President, used
such arguments as induced an entire
change in the programme and led to
the recognition Of the KELLOGG govern
meut instead of the one which the Pre-
sident had assured General TAYLOR he
believed to be the legal authority IN the
State.
