Gov. HENDRICKs' FINANoIAL Views.
AN attempt is being made by the
Radical newspapers to attribute to
Gov. Hendricks imitation views. They
will fail in the effort says the Indiana
LedgersSt tandard, Bullion. Gentle
men who heard Mr.. Hendricks in
Ohio last year are pretty certain that
he did not advance any such views
in his addresses before The people,
His position was substantially that
which he has always held, that thero
should be a steady approach to specie
payments, but not by q policy that
would completely paralyze every in
dustry of the country, such as the
Radical Resumption Act will pro-
duce. He believes that law is q
fraud; that it is profession of specie
payment without the means of ac-
compIishment; that it will produce
Widespread rum without an equlva>
lent, and that therefore the section
which provides for specie resumption
in 1879 should be repealed. But
neither Governor uendI icks nor the
Democracy of Indiana abandon the
sound Democratic doctrines OF specie
resumption. The future welfare Of
the country demands that this should
be accomplished, but not upon the
uins Of the industrial and CONNER.
cial interests Of the country, which
will be the effect if the present law is
suffered to remain in force. Bat Re ,
publican newspapers that attribute
TO Governor Hendricks initiation
views simply after !a!sehood.

A THR1LLIse STORY.

Says writer: It was at a military
review, held in Vienna, on the occasion
of the 6ftieth anniversary Of the estab-
lishment of the military Order of Maria
Theresa
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
were in line. A little child-a girl-of
not more than four years, standing in
the front row Of spectators, either from
fright or some other cause. rushed out
into the open field just as squadron Of
hussars came sweeping around from the
main body. They had made the detour
for the purpose Of saluting the empress.
whose carriage was drawn up in that
part Of the parade ground Down came
the flying squadron, charging at mad
gallop-down directly upon the child.
The mother was paralyzed, as were
others, for there could be no rescue from
the line Of spectators The empress ut
tered a cry Of horror, for the child,s de-
struction seemed inevitable-and such
terrible destruction-the tramping to
death By thousand iron hoofs!
Directly under the feet Of the horses
was the little one-anothef instant must
seal its doom-when a stalwart hussar,
who was in the front line, without slack
ing bis speed or loosening his hold,
threw himself over by the side of his
horses neck. seized and lifted the child
and placed it in safety upon his saddle
bow; and this be did without changing
bis pace, or breaking the correct align
ment Of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with rap
turous applause the gallant deed, and
other thousands applauded when they
knew. Two women there were who
could only sob forth their gratitude in
broken accepts-the mother and the
empress.
And proud and happy moment must
it have been fer the hussar when bis
emperor, taking from his own breast
the richly enameled cross Of the Order
of Maria Theresa, hung it upon the
breast Of bis brave and gallant trooper.

A PIGEON Roosr.

A Southland (Mo.) paper describes
the pigeon roost there this year Is fol-
lows: Pigeons have come into this part
Of the country BY millions. OF even
| ings the sky is darkened with them in
the neighborhood of DR.. Dodson's. on
the Auglaise. They have made Dodson's
farm their headquarters, and at nights
the trees and underbrush are loaded
down with multitudes. As this roost is
but short distance from our house we
have had ample opportunity to watch
their maneuvers, and to hear the inces-
SAINT noise they make. A little before
sundown large armies Of pigeons are
seen coming from different points Of the
compass. but each army passes onward
as if they intended to change their roost-
ing place. After awhile they return
and settle on the trees around the roost,
not many Of them nearer than mile Of
the place They make sudden flights
from these trees, and the sound Of their
wings is like that Of a great storm
There is constant roaring in the air As
myriads Of the birds fly to and fro
About dark they fly toward the roost,
and for long time they fly round and
round, and have the appearance of bees
swarmiug, although the vast number
and tornado-like roaring they make sur
passes anything in the power Of man to
describe. After while they alight on
the trees and bushes. and the limbs are
bent downward, often are broken off.
The pigeons keep up constant chatter
ing which can be heard for miles away.
They are never still during the night.
So far as sleep il concerned, such .
thing is out Of the question with a pi-
geon. They are disturbed by them
selves, such thropgs assembling in
spot that none can be still for moment
and the incsssant dischargiug Of fire.
arms among them causes them to change
their location almost constantly. This
roost is visited every night by crowds
of men, some with guns and others with
poles, which they use in thrashing down
the pigeons that happen to be at the
peint struck. Hundreds are killed every
night; but when light appears the vast
armies again 60 forth with apparently
as much vigor as ever. Pigeons have
been killed in New York with undigest-
ed rice in their crops, which they had
evidently gathered in the rice6elds Of
the Qarolinas. From these and other |
circum stances it has been estimated that |
l pigeon flies at the rate of mile min
ute. Imagine, then, millions upon mil
lions of these birds, all on the wing at
The same time, over scope of country
not more than two miles square, and a
Faint idea Of the noise they make may
be obtained. But no one can ever fully
imagine what pigeon roost is or how
much noise they make until one is seen
Ind heard. There is an abundance of
mast here now, and We suppose the pi-
yeons will remain here until it is all gone.
0ne curious circumstance is that in the
,eighborhood Of this pigeon roost We
lever see pigeon from the time they
cave in the morning until they return
q the evening. They are not eating
he mast here at all, but somewhere
hey are all fsasting Iuxuriantly, for
hey are all fat.
