Feathered Friends.

If you want bird to love you, then
choose a bullfnch. His affection for
his mistress is often so great as to cause
his death if he be separated from her,
and always makes him intensely jealous
of all who share her regard with him.
Their natural song is not musical, but
they may be taught to whistle almost
any melody by patiently reiterating it
to them while they digest their food,
which is rape or canary seed, with liz
tie lettuce or apple. When moulting
they require hard egg and bread crumbs,
and a Glove put into their water, aud if
thew should nope OF ruffle their plum
age scalded rape seed must be given them
for few days.
II e clever bird is your fancy, get by
all means a gold6nch. You can teach
him to climb little ladder, to pretend to
be dead, to draw his own water, to sweep
out his cage with a little broom, TO ring
a small bell for his food and many other
entertaining tricks which, being of
restless, busy nature, he thoroughly en-
lows. Goldfnches are bon wants and
are subject to fits from overeating them
selves When these occur dip the bird,
head downward, in cold water, and put
him on low diet for few days and he
will rapidly recover.
Canaries are like flowers, they do not
thrive unless their keepers love them.
Nothing is more cruel than to keep birds
and leave servants to attend to them,
and this is especially true of canaries.
They do not live by seed and water
alone they crave equally companionship
and love. They ought, too, to be kept
in pairs, for they have great deal to
say to each other that they cannot say
to you, and it is delightful to watch
their gossipings and condolences.
Canaries love great variety in their
food, and if plenty Of exercise be given
them they may be safely trusted with
anything they will eat. During moult-
ing a few poppy seeds are excellent, and
at all times little branch of fir or pine
seems to afford them the greatest pleas
ure. The little extra cleaning or trouble
incurred by letting them have the use OF
one or more rooms, is abundantly com
pensated by their love, their happiness
and their charming companionship.
Certainly those who pretend to entertain
birds of any kind should be their friend,s;
and not their jailsrs, for birds, above All
living creatures, were created TO De
glad. - ChristiGB Union

Insnrnnce Fraud.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3O.-The circum-
stances connected with the closing Of the
Peoples Fire Insurance Company are
that State commissioner of insurance,
X. W. Fisher, last week discovered GER
tain fraudulent transactions in the man
agement OF the company and immedi-
ately directed the attorney general to
begin legal proceedings to close up the
company, and notified insurance officials
of other States of the facts. Prindle,
the alleged defaulting manager, learned
this and gathered up all the available
assets and fed to parts unknown.

Imporlant BAND peclsion.

From the Nashville Banner Of the 27th.l
The case of W. w. Berry, President,
and the directors of the Third National
Bank of this city against the Mayor and
City Council, was disposed of yesterday
in the Chancery Court by Special Chan
cellor McHenry. The main point in the
case was whether the city had the right
to tax the capital stock of the bank at
its actual market value. The bank filed
a bill some time since, in which it
prayed for an injunction restraining the
city from taxing the stock at more than
its par value, and the Special Chaneel-
lor yesterday dissolved the injunction.
While the capital stock of this bank
is placed at 100000 its real value in the
market is $4,000, and the city is there
fore deeply interested in carrying its
point. The Supreme Court will doubt
less have to pass upon the case before
the question involved is settled.
W. +. Cooper represented the bank,
and McPhail Smith the city.
Should the final decision be in favor
of the city, all other companies whose
stock is worth more than its par value
will have to pay taxes in proportion, the
result of which would be very material
increase of municipal revenue.

A RADICAL orator at Vicksburg the
other day announced to his audience
that several men who had served out
terms IN the penitentiary had been re-
fused registration papers, but they were
entitled to register and vote. This was
received with hearty cheers, as no doubt
several Of his hearers had graduated
from the penitentiary. We would sug-
gest that many men in this city are dis
qualified from voting from the same
cause and should be watched on cleo
ton day. They mostly belong to the
civil rights party, but will no doubt be
over anxious to vote. A pardoned con-
Wet is disqualified the same as one who
served out his full term. 1t would be
well for somebody to look over the
records of the Criminal Court or Sher-
ifs Office and publish the list. From
one to two hundred thus disqualified
and rendered infamous are now in
Shelby county.

A correspondent who has been to the
British museum writes: Full Of strange
speculations and sober thoughts /
paused at last before the case contain
ing the mummy of Egypts royal hirt,
Cleopatra. The soft light of the En-
glish twilight was falling through the
dingy windows and chasing long shad-
ows around the cases and into the dark
corners. The sightseers had exhausted
themselves and withdrawn and the
apartment was deserted and silent as
the tombs, and l was all alone with my
reveries and the dead. Before me was
the short, dumpy figure OF the Queen,
the fash of whose eye and the witchery
Of whose smile had intoxicated the
mighty Caesar and unnerved the brawny
arm of Marc Antony. She was
wrapped a thousand times in linen bands
and seemed bundled up to keep the
cold air out. On the outer covering was
a portrait Of the woman as she appeared
in life. The eolors were nearly as
bright as when put there. The cheeks
were full and rosy, the hair dark as the
ravens wing, and there was a look of
inefable grace in the face, blushing with
an expression that bespoke knowledge
Of her beauty and power as a woman
rather than that of a queen. There
were the charms before me that had Sc
duced a score OF lovers, and the lips that
1t was delirium to kiss. stood there,
and thought and thought until thinking
became burden and the gloom of my
feelings warned me from the spot But
a strange fascination held me there to
hold communion with this awful thing.

New YoRK, July 3O.--The Plymouth
church investigation committee had an
extra session yesterday afternoon to
hasten the conclusion of the inquiry.
The committee are getting heartily sick
of the sluggish investigation, besides
thinking that delay is injurious to the
complete vindication of Beecher, who is
said to be rapidly preparing testimony
for the committee. Last evening he
walked among the trees on Columbia
Heights, with his hands behind him and
his white SLOUGH hat drawn over his
forehead. He takes daily exercise in
this way. He allows no approach to the
topic of the scandal in conversation.
Mr.. Ovington said last evening that
Theodore Tilton had called at his house
three times since his wife's separation
from him and begged to see her, and that
every time she refused to see him.
Ovington added II think that his pow
er over his wife is so great that if she
had permitted him to see her, he might
have forced her even to accompany him
to his house in Livingston street again.
Mr.. Tilton's power over his wife is as
great in her presence to-day as it ever
was. If he could see her she would be
obliged to obey him." Tilton spent last
evening with his counsel aud early in
the evening Mrs. Tilton sat at Mr.. Owing
tons piano playing Home, Sweet
Home"

Speaker Blaine and Western Inter
estS.

Referring to the fact that West
ern members of Congress have a
controlling majority on every COM
mittee where Western interests are
either generally or locally involved
the La Crosse Republican and Lead
er, an outspoken advocate of cheap.
or transportation, remark:
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
truly says: "Readers who take in
terest in sach matters cannot fail to
notice the Speakers generosity to
the new members, especially those
from the West and SouIb."
In it's recent criticism upon Speak.
er Blaine's committee, it depIores
the fact that the West is so strongly
represented on the important COM
mittees, which have hitherto been
largely in favor of the East; but it
ignores what Speaker Blaine has had
the good sense and fairness TO re cog.
nize-.the growth and strength OF
the West, as expressed in the new
representation of population in Con.
gress. 1t is high time that justice
should be done to the West and
now for the solution of the great
problem of transportation, in which
our people, in common with those Of
the entlre country, have d vital in
terest, it is gratifying to know that
the Speaker has lodged the RESPONSE
bility of judicious legislative action
in the hands of representatives who
are supposed to have the welfare OF
our people at heart.

Railroad Consolidation.

We find the following paragra ph
in an article in the New York Times
reviewing the situation in Wall ST.,
and transfer it to our columns as a
matter of interest to the people OF
Wisconsin,:
A scheme is now on foot viii ch
failed abouta year ago; to consoli
date the Milwaukee aud St. Paul and
the Chicago and North western Rail-
road Companies. The stocks of both
roads, if the arrangement is carried
out will be combined under the name
of the "Chicago, Milwaukee and ST
Paul Railroad Company" There
will be an addition OF SIS 900, 900 to
th Q share capital, which will be d.
viied among the shareholders of the
old companies, ten per cent. upon
Milwaukee and St. Paul stock, and
twenty per cent. upon Chicago and
Northwestern. The failure of this
scheme for lease or consolidation,
which was attempted about year
ago, was due to the opposition OF the
Chicago and Northwestern German
interests, which were represented
here by agents from the other side
L. is understood that these interests
are now anxious TO bring about the
arrangement defeated q year ago,
the Germans believing that it will DE
greatly 10 the advantage of both
