FRIEhDSHIr or A Dec A$D PARROT he
Nirniuia (Nrv.) Chr0nicie relates the follow
iug incIuent: " Captain s;'arnS. rca! estate
awcUl, residing at the corner OF II ana tar-oG
streets, i the owner of Il 1iue NcWiounGlanu
du-. He j. also the po>>c>>or OF large
green parrot. which is said 10 he at least
seventy years Of age. Within the last few
months Il very strong attachment has sprun"
mp between those two creatures, and they
are almost irscpArtbe. The pairot talks
ali day long Of the doc, and keeps calling
him by name while he is away. The dog
seems very uneasy when the parrot is out
OF sight, and waudcrS about, evidently in an
unhappy frame Of mind. He has licked all
the feathers of one of the parrots wings,
but still the latter seems rather TO court his
strange careSseS. 1t Is decidedly interesting
to witness the mlnncr in which the two play
together. The parrot walks along the dogs
back, out on 10 the tip OF his nose. when she
eraveIy perkS ttat member and rs grayely
W, h back TO the rear. This stately prone
mad" is kept up for hours, the parrot all the
time croaking out lis canine friends name
and applying endearing epitbetS to him, such
is 'Oh! you old bum, Jack = jack, you
rascal and others which are frequently
hurled at The dog by the ncghbors boys"
