their agent to lay before the
farmers Of the North the ad-
vantages Of his present state
as an agricultural region. The
Mississippi Changers have
made arrangements with the
Illinois Central and the st.
Louis, Cairo and New Orleans
railroads for cheap tickets to
persons desiring to visit Mis-
sissippi to look ct the lands,
and they are prepared to ex-
tend q hearty welcome to all
who may come. There is some

Wild Pigeons.

From the Mobile Register.I
The wild pigeons that we
see in this country have, as a
general rule, originated in the
States Of the Northwest a
large per cent. Of them are from
the States Of Michigan and
Wisconsin. In regions where
they pass the summer their
young fall from the nests in
the trees nsuch numbers as to
fatten the hogs. About twen-
|ty-five years ago we saw some
thing Of that kind along the
Ohio river above the city Of
Louisville. In some Of the
groves the birds bred by mill
lions, and their young fell
from the nests and. died in such
numbers as to faint the atmos.
phere of all the region round
about. a9dfii H
The beech-tree growing sec.
tions of country !. supply the
wild pigeons with most Of thei1
food in autumn and winter. =
/ In summer they feed upor
worms and the like, and upoI
certain seeds and berries pecn
liar to the regions ofthe North
west. When we see them dowl
here in quest of acorns, it maJ
be taken as an evidence tina
the beech mast has failed.
The wild pigeon is said
be the swiftest native Ameri
can bird that flies. Person
who claim to know, have takel
the ground that it often goe
from fifty to, seventy five mile
before breakfast for its feed
returning to the same roostin
place in the evening. A regr
lar pigeon roost is a maryel-
millions of birds often cong-t
gate together S at night fe
! -lweeks in the same locality
They usually select small tree
] for their perches, and we hay
! seen acres of trees so loade
with pigeons as to be iterall
bent to the ground. =

Decency In Journalism.

From the Austin Statesman t0s.
The Galveston Times says
that decency in journalism
should ever be observed, and
petty jealousies and spiteful-
ness are unworthy of inte1li-
gent editors. When it is said, !,
therefore, that the News was
corrupted by the International
[ Railroad, the Times says
sthere is no evidence Of the
fact, and no one knowing the
proprietors of the News would
give credence to the assertion. y
For all this the Times deserves
especial landation. There is
generosity, truthfnlness and
courage and Consciousness Of
its own solid worth illustrated
in these statements affecting
its rich rival. There is a val
liable lesson, too, to the frantic
land ferocious editors every
where, in the honorable, gen
.tlemanly conduct of the Times
