will say: 1t was great surprise to
all bit one or two Of Beecher's law.
yers when Mrs. Tilton addressed her
petition to Judge N Nelson. The scene
xas most dramatic. Her husband
was sitting ten feet in front Of her,
haiti turned in his seat, when he heard
his wife's voice, but did not look at
her: Both plaintiff aud defendants
counsel turned and looked full upon
her. Judge Nelson SAID the mstter
was one to which he 'thought he
ough, to give better delibcration and
despite the request Of Mrs. Tilton he
must consider this confidential. Pos.
sibly if both counsel c!'nsented and
Mrs. Tilton insisted, it might be
made public. Evarts was non.com-

Protect the Birds.

An-exchange says that upon n five
dollar bill contributed to the fund. for
the Kansas and Nebraska sufferers,
was attached piece Of papef'@con-
tanning the following:
:" Let the people -of these western
states. take .hctter care of their birds.
For years past they have made a system
ATTIC warfare against them. and the mark
cts Of even the eastern cities have been
glutted with grouse, prairie hens, wild
turkeys, &C., which if not molested
would have kept the insects in check.
We cannot derange NATURES balance Of
power and not expect to suffer somehow.
A laY to prevent killing any birds in
Kansas and Nebraska for five years,
would be better remedy than subscrib-
ing money, every winter for these suffer-
crs."
~ There is a volume Of wisdom in
this brief extract, and if the advice
therein given was followed the result
would be what the writer predicts.
Birds are the farmers best friend and
ally, and they should be fostered and
protected, instead Of being Nantonly
destroyed. II, instead Of slaughter.
ing the birds, farmers and gardeners
would plant trees, build>bird houses,
and do other things to encourage the
, propagation Of birds, VIC would hear
less complaint about the destruction
Of crops BY grasshoppers and other
insects Let our game laws be strict.
" enforced; let every imraction be
severely punished; and if our present
laws arc not~sufiicient.' have more
stringent ones enacted, with provisions
making il the duty of all peace off
GERS to take notice of all violations
which, come under their observation
and we will soon have more birds, 3
pleasanter couassy, and better and
more plentiful crops.

it was the day she went before the
committee. Tracy was with her
from 2 O'Clock till 4.3O in the back
parlor. He heard them talking but
could not understand what was said.
Judge Nelson refused to make
public. the contents Of Mrs. Tilton's
notc, and said it should not i'll any
case be made known till tomorrow
morning, and then only with. consent
of counsel. 1t is understood the>let-

W.sulSGros, May 3.-A report
was received ut the Interior depart.
n,ant to daysfrom Fort Sill, in the In
dian territory to the effect that the
complaints made BY the Indians camp
ed near thc,e that they are suffering
from hunger, are well founded. The.
following being the rations allowed
by the Indian department: 'Bcel'
three pounds gross on the Eoof one
day in fifteen; half pound -four or
bread; ito each hundred rations, four
pounds coffee, s pounds sugar, II
pounds tobacco. This allowance was
established when hunting was good
and is insufficient now, ev,n if it was
all issued. Not over one third Of the
authorized amount of -four is issued; !;
beef is bad; there. is no sngar-on
hand. Affairs at Wicheta Agency
are even worse than this. The In.
dians arc eating their; horses. This is
endorsed by Genl Pope. Mho calls at
tention to the ma. administration Of
Indian affairs and urges II correction
thereof.
