VIENNA CONGRESS OF LAND AND FOREST CUL-
TUmsTs.-AmODg other features of The Inter
national Exposition at Vienna was Congress of
Land and Forest Culturists, represented by dele
gates from various parts of the world, which had in
view among other objects, the protection of birds
useful to the farmer, and the definition of species
that might properly come under this category. This
subject was brought up by the Swiss Minister in
Vienna, Won Tsehude. whom we presume TO be the
well naturalist, whose labors upon the Fauna
of Peru as published in large quarto volumeI and
the natural history Of Switzerland have given him
great reputation as naturalist. In the discussion of
this paper several persons took part among them
DIR. Alfred Brehm, Mr. Barral, and Others. The
great Importance of birds the natural protectors
Of crops was spoken of in the strongest terms and
numerous cases were presented where their agency
was decidedly manifest. There was discussion as

sparrow now a well-known denizen of New York is
entitled; but il was admitted that its benefits far
outweigh the injuries that IL may occasionally pro-
duce.

IN THE EVENING


IN THE EVENING.
All day the wind had howled along the leas,
All day the wind had swept across the
plain,
All day on rustling grass and waving trees
Had fallen"the useful trouble of the rain, "
All day beneath the low-hung, dreary sky,
The dripping earth had covered sullenly.
At last the wind had sobered itself to rest,
At last TO weary calmness sank the storm,
A crimson line cleaned sudden in the west,
Where golden tlecks rose wayering into
form,
And hushed revival hearalded the night,
And with the evening time awoke the light.
The rosy color flushed along gray waves;
The rosy color tinged the mountains brow;
And where the old church watched the vii
lage graves
Wooed to a'passing blush the yew trees
frown,
Bird, beast and flower relenting nature knew
And one pale starrOse shimmering in the blue
So to a life long crushed in heavy grief,
So, to path long darkened by despair,
The slow, sad hours bring touches of relief,
Whispers of hope, and strength of trustful
prayer;
'Tary his leisure" God of love and might,
And in the evening time there will be light.

The Columbia Herald of the
18th has the following article
After this issue the Column
bia Herald and the Columbia
Mail will be consolidated, Capt.
j. B. Murphy having sold out
to Horseley Bros. & Figures.
\ \ \ Two papers at Column
bia are a severe tax upon our
merchants, for they do not like
to advertise in one paper with
out also inserting in the other,
and when they do they are
cheated out of their money, be-
cause the papers generally have
the very same subscribers. OuI
best business men have long
urged the necessity of the
consolidation of the Herald and
Mail upon this ground.
After the experiment just
made by the Mail, we presume
no one will be so unwise as to
undertake to start another pa
per in Columbia. 1t was star
ted under the most favorable
auspices, with the prestige of
having an editor whose fame as
a journalist was co-eXtensivt
with the Union, and conducted
by one, Of less repute, but of as
much ability and nerve. The
Mail did net fail for lack of a.
bility in its editors, or sagacity
in conducting it, but simply be-
cause two papers cannot sur
vive in Columbia, and the Her.
aid had an advantage of being
an old, well-established paper

Narrow Escape Of a Child.

Some Missouri papers give long
accounts Of the uarree""' escape OF
"A little girl thirteen years of age
from beinG buried alive at St Jo-
'spph. She apparently died, and
after lying thirty hours in cof
fin, was taken out for burial. On
the way to the cemetery the St.
Joseph Herald asserts, the quick
ear of the saddened mother caught
the echo of familiar cry. and she
gave expression to her suspicion
that it came from the coffin of her
child. Her suspicion was over
ruled, but in a lew moments a
second cry was heard, and in com.
pliance with the wishes Of the
mother the hearse was stopped
and the coffin drawn out. The
struggles of what was supposed to
be the liieless body could now be
plainly heard. The coffin was
quickly opened, and the child
found to be alive, to the amaze
ment and unspeakable delight Of
the parents. In her struggles she
had nearly torn from herself bel
death robes. She was quickly Ia.
ken from the coffin and carried In.
to the house of a French lady at
hand, where they bathed her in
vinegar. She recovered her
strength rapidly, and in & short
time was taken to the home
which she had lefJ only a few
hours before an apparent corpse.
Since that time she has been as
we'll as for the last few months.

1t costs the State of Missouri
over $4,000 a year to trans
port its members Of the Legis-
lature to and from the State cap
ital, although every one has a
free pass on the railroads. The
rate is twenty-five cents per
mile traveled,or about five times
the actual cost, so that the mile
age income of member is al
most as great as his pay per
