The glorious songster of our Southern for
ests, the mocking-b bird, is in danger Of extir-
patton. Thousands are every year taken
from the nests, only to die in their cages,
like the inhabitants OF some plague-strcken
city. Many fall beneath the fire of miscalled
sportsmen, who shoot each feathered thing,
from humming-bird to a crow, and this
slaughter must be stopped. In one sense,
this noble warbler is the national bird of the
South, the pride and glory of that land in
which he is alone found. 1t would disgrace
the whole of this Southern country if so ex-
cellent singer were to perish without one
arm being put forth for his preservation.

SESAroR SMITH on TfMPERAScE-A large au-
dience assembled in the Representatives Hall,
Thursday night, to hear the Hon Alexis I. Smith 5
lecture Senator Smith said that he was not a
trained speaker upon the subject Of temperance.
This was the first occasion that he had addressed
am audience Of this character lie did not pre-
sent himself as an orator, but as plain man,
whose heart was full Of strong desire to say a
word that might lead some young man to feel as
older and more experienced men felt the danger
of even the most temperate use of alcohol. He
did not propose here to advocate this, that the
other special measure Of legislation for the pre-
yention Of intemperance, but tn raise his hand in
favor Of any and every honest effort to check the
evil OF drink that desoates our homes and ruins
the peace Of society. Senator Smith spoke with
Characteristic feeling and originality and was
warmly applauded at the close, as he deserved
/ 10 be.
Mr. Smith, at the conclusion OF his remarks, In
| trodueed Mrs. Kent Mason, who spoke earnestly
! in favor OF the cause that seemed very near her
heart urging at length the necessity for woman !
action against the great evil. Mrs. Mason held
the close attention Of her audience to the end.

lady has made her promised visit, and pub
lcly addressed our people on three several occa-
sions and we have no hesitation in saying that
nothing so attractive and instructive has been
afforded during the season. On Saturday evening
she gave her celebrated lecture on the Battle OF
Money" We shall attempt no abstract Of the
effort 1t was discriminating and powerful pre-
sentation Of the prominent characteristics Of the
American people, and Of the obstacles to be over
come in fulfilling their heaven-appointed mission
Sunday morning she spoke at the Church Of thu
Messiah; and in the evening she addressed the
usual Temperance meeting. Our only regret con
corning the latter service was that we had ne
suitable hall for the accommodation Of all who
desired to listen to her matchess appeal in behalf
Of this good cause As it was, large number
were denied the privilege.
Mrs. uyermore is PROFESSIONALLY the best fe
male orator in the country, and indeed we know
of no man who eNcels her on the platform, or Il
doing a nobler work for our common humanity
We bid her God speed with all our heart.

License LAws.-By the House proceedings on
Saturday afternoon, it will be seen that the cele-
brated license bill after discussion, dismissed,
by the decided vote Of hundred to forty-three,
ninety -three absent OF not voting. This leads To
the conclusion that our present prohbitory law,
or with such amendments as shall be made in the
interest OF the principle Of prohibition rather than
in opposition to it, is to continue the settled policy
Of the State upon this subject. Is it too much
therefore, to expect that all earnest and honest
friends OF temperance will now unite to secure
the proper enforcement of this law, to the end
that the greatest argument brought against It may
be remoyed-to wit that it is dead letter? Those
who do not care for temperance Of course have
little right to expect great weight to be given Il
their opinions upon the subject
