RATTLE In THE AIR

ga most terrible battle between two
birds, says the Virginia New Man
tanian, occurred between two large
brown eagles in the vicinity of the lakes
above Virginia on last Wednesday eve
ming When first noticed the birds
were soaring, one above the other, at an
altitude of perhaps three-fourths of a
lnile, and seemed on sail for pleasure.
Presently the uppermost bird, closing
its broad wings, shot downward like o
meteor for two or three hundred feet
and with a wild, piercing scream lit fair
ly upon the back of the other bird.
Turning with the rapidity of lightning,
the victim clutched its adversary with
talons and beak, and fierce struggle
ensued. The savage yells, the striking
of huge wings, and shower of falling
feathers, gave unmistakable evidences
of the ferocity with which the contest
was waged.
As they fought they fell earthwards,
and when within five hundred feet of
the ground they disentangled and each
swooped upwards again. Now followed
an interesting contest as to which should
first gain a sufficient altitude to make
another plunge. The circling of the
smaller was rapid and close, while that
of its antagonist was made with greater
limits, and his ascension was quickest
accomplished. The largest eagle was
soon fully one half mile high, and some
hundreds of feet above his victim How
ering in mid-air for a moment, as if
making sure of his aim, he again darted
down on his enemy, striking him as be-
fore with force that seemed sufficient
to kill of itself. Again they grappled
and fought like winged aemons-whirl-
ing, falling, and striking furiously for
the space of two or three minutes.
They were now near the largest of the
lakes, and gradually descending to the
water. The struggles Of the smaller be-
came less and less fierce he was getting
weak, and was evidently nearly van
pushed, while his more powerful ag.
gressor seemed to wage the battle with
increased vigor.
"Another moment and the conquer
ing monarch loosed his hold, and with
an exultant shout of victory scared up
ward. The battle was ended his pri-
soner, limp and lifeless, fell into the wa
tiers of the lake with splash, and float
ed on the surface without struggle
We with our companion tried to get the
dead eagle, but were unable to do SO
with swimming for it. Both birds were
of very large size, the largest, we think,
measuring fully twelve feet from tip to
tip. The spectacle was exciting in the
extreme, and the victory tragically COM
plete The battle had likely commenced

HOW YOUNG MEN SHOULD DRINK.

If young men will drink liquors, we
insist they should do it genteely. A
great many accomplished bar tenders
and public bystanders have their risi-
bilities excited in degree dangerous to
proper saloon decorum by the awkward
manner in which upstart green 'uns
take their grog, to say nothing of the
danger from strangulation incident to
starting horn of brandy down the
wrong way. The following is the pro-
per way to do the business. 1t may
f7me little awkward at first, put prac-
tice, will make it easy, and the habit of
doing the thing gracefully and easily
will save you from world of lidicule,
and from many of the evils, which crazy
temperance people are always charging
as likely to follow drinking Stand up
straight like man, your left side to the
bar, take the glass neatly and firmly
between the thumb and forefinger of
the right hand, letting the little finger
drop down to near the bottom of the
glass swing the glass to plane exactly
corresponding with the top of the bar,
until it is precisely before you. Just
then throw the head back a little, push
the chin forward, SO as to leave the
throat in a full, open, easy position.
Compress the lips tightly, draw a full
breath through the nostrils, and with
graceful curve raise the glass until the
rim is within about three inches of
your chin. Now is the supreme mo-
ment. just here, turn your eyes up
ward, think Of your mother, and open
your hand instead of your mouth If
any one laughs it will be an insult
which you should recent by not going
there again Clayton County Ga.)
