The Condor,

We can tell you an anecdote about
the condor's power of life. A miner in
Chill, very strong man, once saw a
condor enjoying his feast On the noun
tains. He had eaten SO much that he
could not fly, and the man attacked
and tried to kill him. The battle last
ed long time, and the man was nearly
exhausted. But in the end he thought
he was the victor, and left the condor
dead, as he imagined, on the field.
Some of the feathers he carried off in
triumph to show to his companions,
and told them he had never fought SO
fierce battle. The other miners went
to look at the condor, when, to their
surprise, he was standing erect, flap
ping his wings, in order to fly away.
A bird with such powers of life con-
tinues to exist years and years. In
deed, the condor is said to live for a
century. The Indian tries to catch the
condor by stratagem. He employs
him to fight in ring, at those cruel
bull-fghts which are the favorite
amusements in that part of the world.
He does not attempt to attack the con-
dor openly, for he knows how strong
he is, and he wishes, besides, to take
him alive. He procures the skin of a
COW, and hides himself beneath it.
Some pieces of flesh are left hanging
to the skin. and are sure to attract the
condor. He comes bouncing on the
prey, and while he is feeding with his
usual greediness the Indian contrives
to fasten his legs on the skin. When
this is done, he comes out of his con-
cealment, and the bird sees him for the
first time. He flaps his wings, and
would fly but that his feet are entan-
gled; and more than this, a number of
other Indians come. running up and
throw their mantles over him. -Stories

Curious Scene i'm a Church,

There seems to have been great
deal of sport at the annual public meet
ing in connection with the Pastors
College, held recently in Mr.. Spur
geon's Tabernacle. The proceedings,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, having
opened with prayer, and the speeches
having been delivered, song called
"The Lifeboat" was sung by a gentle
man who explained that it was sung in
America 3sto endeaver to touch the
hearts of hardened people who would
not listen to regular and well known
hymns" This admirable song, which,
it is stated, has moral or religious
termination, was a great success, and
brought down showers Of applause.
Mr.. Spurgeon next introduced DIR. Hill
Ter, who, he said, had been a soldier,
and could play every wind instrument
in existence. He asked him to show
the audience how he drew people to-
gether when he wanted to preach the
gospel to them, and concluded with
"Come along, DOCTOR The doctor,
thus urged, did "come along" and
having played" The last rose of sum
mer' with variations on a clarionet,
addressed the meeting, saying that he
was under a misapprehension, as he
expected he should have to make a
speech upon "the holy stick he had
Just laid down. He then, to illustrate
the lack Of musical taste in those who
conducted the singing in the churches
of the present day, told a story of a
northern church where difficult tune
was chosen, the refrain of the hymn
being repeated once or twice. The
last line of the first verse was 6 And
bow before His throne" The result OF
the selection was that it was rendered
"And -bow-bow, and ow-bow-
bow" and bow before His throne. .
This story produced "roars Of laugh
ter" followed by brief address and 6
hymn, and the proceedings closed with
the benediction.

Russian Trophies Disappearing from

Two Russian guns and carriages,
trophies of the Crimean war, have been
received at the Royal Arsenal, Wool
wich, having been. returned from Col
chester, where they have stood as
public monuments for about seventeen
years. It has been notified thatseveral
other trophies of similar character
have been given up by the local au-
thorities of other towns, and that they
are on their way to Woolwich, and
these are, generally speaking, only
such as are remarkable for some pecu-
harity, one, for instance, having can

sentiment which induces country cor
porations to return their trophies out
of compliment to the Duchess of Edin-

PERMANENT WHITEWASH.

The season Of the year has returned
when the enquiries for good whitewash
are raised. We give the following as
excellent: Take half a bushel of ex-
ce}lently burnsl lime; Stake it with
boiling water; cover it during the pro-
cess, to Ike ep in the steam. Strain the
liquid through a fine sieve and add to
it seven pounds Of salt previously well
dissolved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rice boiled to a thin paste
and stirred in boiling hot, one-half
pound Of powdered Spanish whiting,
and one pound Of clean glue, which
has been previously dissolved by soak
ing it well, and then hanging it over a
slow fire, in a small kettle within a
large one filled with water. Add five
gallons of hot water to the mixture,
stir it well, and let it stand a few days
covered from dirt. For this purpose it
can be kept in a kettle on a portable
furnace. About a pint of this mixture
will cover 4 square yard.--E.cc,ht>"ye

The Metropolitan Press.

There is not truly Independent
paper, published in English, in New
Orleans. Since the Picayune passed
into the keeping of Granny Holbrook,
that journal affords ten times the edito-
rial about Spain, Rome, the Moon and
other foreighn parts, it does about the
living questions of the day. It has
begun to call Kellogg Governor, Clin-
ton Auditor and the Dryades street
body the Legislature. It's columns,
like those of the Times, read like a
funeral notice, with those who consult
ed either of those papers few months
ago, for political guidance. In fact, it
seems to be a dead-heat between Hol-
brook, of the Picayune, and Bigney
("the political prisoner'') of the Times,
to see which of the two will get sto
glory" first. If either of these journalists
have conception Of real independence
in conducting a newspaper, he is
deficient in the capacity of exhibiting
his talent to the public. The real
live issues of the day are left alone, in
order to explain at length what Mr..
Gair, or some other negro says, in what
part of the ocean "I,eX" is about to
turn p,or to what the Earl of Durham,
or the Earl of Goldfish treated his hun
cry visitors for dinner. Out upon such
press! 1t no more deserves to be
consulted than the fraternity of shys-
ters.
