PIGEON CATCHING IN MICHIGAN. The
business of catching and fattening pig
cons has been reduced to science, and
is done on an immense scale in IOnia
county, Mich, where two firms have
now 1000 dozen. They are caught in
nets, 456 birds having been taken at
one haul, this season. The net is set
up by the side of "bed," which is
baited with wheat and corn, for some
time before the season commences.
The pigeons soon find these places and
flock to them in immense numbers.
When the time for catching arrives,
man conceals himself daily in a bower
near the bed, from which wire passes
to the net, and when sufficient number
of the birds have have come they are
bagged. After this they are confined
in feeding pens and fatted. They are
then killed and packed-30 dozen in
barrel-and shipped to New York, Bos-
ton and other cities. They are now
worth 81. so per dozen at the Hub.

STEAM IN VEssELs.-The increased
price of coal in England is causing the
reagitation of the question of the use
of steam as an auxiliary power in ships
A writer in Iron says A vessel for a
long voyage should be of the following
dimensions Length, 800 feet breadth,
40 feet depth of hold, "a feet, with
accommodations for passengers, officers
and crew on deck, and pair of direct
acting engines placed in the after part
of the vessel, below the main deck, ca
pable of working to about $50 horse
power, with boilers to maintain steam
pressure of so pounds per square inch.
The consumption of coal would be about
70 cwt. per diem, and the speed, with a
folding screw propeller, about six knots
in a calm. In "a sailing vessel built
from my design, the best days work
was from $50 to $50 miles for nine days.
1t appears to be great pity to dispense
with sails, when such results can be OBJ
tanned, and if small auxiliary power
we're introduced as above described, in
to a proper porportioned vessel, it
would be the most economical and etfec-
tual carrier for ocean navigation.

The Latest American Abroad. -

! A cheeky individual announcing him
! self as Col. William Hurlbert, mem
| ber of President Grants military staff.
! and dressing in the full uniform of q
| United States army officer, has been
| swindling some of the smaller poten-
tates of Germany in rather a novel man
ner, lately. Armed with the most I'M
exceptionable credentials, he appeared
in several of the smaller capital cities,
where H. had little difficulty of obtain
ing access to the petty courts. With
him, this self-styled colonel had Curl
Gus subscription list, which, before TAX
ing leave of his new-made eminent ac-
quaintances, he submitted to them.
This subscription list was for contribu-
tions for gigantic monument at Wash
ington in honor of the soldiers killed
in the late civil war. Col. Hurlbert
stated that only rulers of states, and
military and civil officers of the highest
rank were to take part in this grand
enterprise, and in opening his list he
proudly pointed to the name of Presi.
peror William, Marshal MacMahon, Bis
marck and other illustrious personages
who had each subscribed literally. For
some time the colonel's little game
worked beautifully, aud he succeeded
in obtaining considerable sums of mo-
Dey, but at last he came to Dessau in
the duchy of Anhalt, where the reign
ing duke and his people proved to be a
little sharper than previous victims.
Their suspicious being aroused, after a
brief and satisfactory correspondence
with Mr.. Bancroft in Berlin, they had
Hurlbert arrested on charge of swind-
ling, and he will now have to suffer for
his smart but wayward career. His
real name seems to be Edward Beatty,
and though an Irisbman by birth he has
long lived in the western states.
