War Trainings of q Chief.

The Smithsonian Institute received @
short time ago valuable and interest.
ing addition to its museum in the shape
of complete and very fine outfit of the
war trappings of an Indian chief. The
contribution comes from west OF the
Rocky mountains, but no letter OF trans
mission or description has been as yet
received. The suit consists Of very
fne headdress OF red flannel, trimmed
and decorated with beadwork and eagles
feathers. The long train which descends
from the head and over the shoulders is
also fringed with eagles feathers. There
is an undershirt which is worn next the
skin. 1t is of red flannel also, with a
black and white border, and is sewn
over with elk teeth. The suit includes
a pair of war leggings Of red cloth,
highly decorated with thick beadwork
in alternate squares OF dark blue aud
light blue beads, and with fringes OF
buckskin down the sides. The war
shirt, worn outside, is of buckskiD, or
nameuted with beads and human hair,
and is painted on the breast and shoul-
der. In addition to these articles there
is complete flowing shabraque, which
is worn over the shoulders with the ends
falling on each side of the wearer. 1t is
worn only when the chief is mounted, as
chief is not fond of carrying much
weighty apparel or acoouterment, and is
of flannel, faced with otter skin. To
this is attached the bow case and qniv-
er case, which are both heavily orna-
mented with beadwork in various COL
ors. There came with the suit pair of
squaw's leggings of red flannel, very
thickly and taste ully sewn with bead
work. These articles could not have
cost less than some two hundred dollars
in the aggregate, and the thick orna-
mental beadwork is very costly.

An Army without q Flag.

The London Pail mall Gazette says
th- ) the French army has no flags, and
that on the second Of June, 1871, the
war minister issued an order that the
standards then in use were to be handed
over to the artillery. : In exchange,
small flags without: any inscriptions
were served out Professionally. The
artillery destroyed the silk Of the old
standards and sent the eagles and the
gold fringe to the domain Office, where
they will probably remain until we have
another empire. The provisional flags,
which have now been in use Tor i've
years, possess great advantage as far
as economy is concerned; they only
cost twenty-five francs apiece, while the
standards cost 280 francs. 1t is not,
perhaps, q question of expenditure
which hinders the war Office from bring
ing this provisional state OF affairs to a
close, but doubtless difficulty about
replacing the eagle. The jseurs- de-ays
are out Of the question; so is the Gallo
cock, which has been monopohzed by
the Orleans family; the lady in
Phrygian cap who symbolizes the re,
public, and which is playfully called
Marianne, is only in favor with the
Radicals, and the moderate republic has
neither symbol nor song. Taken alone,
the tri-color belongs to the revolution,
the empire and the younger branch OF
the Bourbons. Perhaps 1T would be
prudent, until the conservative repub-
lie is more firmly established, to leave
the top of the flagstaff in its present
nude condition.

A Frightened Officer.

There is big medicine OF Changchow.
The officials arrested eight magicians,
or paper men, and threw them into
prison. There was q female accomplice,
and inasmuch as the social theory that q
woman cannot keep q secret is one OF
the oldest axioms of Chinese philosophy,
the mandarian determined to treat her
leniently, in the hope of ooa1ing her to
confess. The lady was searched, and an
enormous Chinese blister was found
upon her ribs. Concealed elsewhere on
her person we're sprites of paper and
brass, and these. it seems, were the in
struments wherewith she conjured.
Make me full confession" said the
mandarin, " and I pledge you my word
that you shall escape unhurt." You
shall know all about it tonight" re-
piled the maiden. She tied string to
q paper sprite and muttered an incanta-
tion in about fifteen minutes the thing
of paper became a thing Of life, moving,
Auttering. growing, flying, until it was
an enormous kite. Then she took one of
the brass men; 10 it tmoved and snorted; |;
there WAS a dreadful sound, like the
tramp and clangor of an armed host
marching in mid air. The poor man
darian saw and heard it all, but he
understood nothing. The woman kept
the secret. The mandarin was scared.

For the Last Time.

There is touch of pathos about do
ing even the simplest thing for the
last time" It is not alone kissing the
dead that gives you this strange pain.
You feel it when you have looked your
last time upon some scene you have
loved-when you stand in some quiet
city street where you know that you
#iil never stand again. The actor play
ing his part for the last time, the singer
whose voice is cracked hopelessly, and
who after this once will never stand be-
fore the sea of upturned faces disputing
the plaudits with fresher voices and
fairer forms, the minister who has
preached his last sermon-these oil
know the hi lden bitterness OF the two
words "never again" How they come
to us on our birthdays as we grow
olderl Never again young; always
nearer and nearer to the very last-the
end which is universal, "the last thing
which shall follow all last things, and
turn them, let us hope, from pains to
joys. We put away our boyish toys with
an odd heartache. We were too old to
walk any longer on our stilts-too tall
to play marbles on the sidewalk. Yet
there was O pang when We thought we
had played with our merry thoughts
for the last time, and life's serious.
grown-up work was waiting for us.
Now we do not want the lost toys back,
Life has other and larger playthings for
us. May it not be that these too shall
seem in the light of some far-of day
as the boyi>h games seem to our man
hood, and we shall learn that death is
but the opening of the gate into the new
land of promise?

Birds and Lighthouses.

The Hartford Times says April and
October witness great destruction OF
migrating birds that flying at night are
dashed to death against the heavy plate
glass lanterns of the lighthouses on ouI
Atlantic coast. Well authenticated facts
seem to render it probable that this de-
struction of bird LIE is far greater than
most persons have supposed. In April
the havoc is among returning birds,
along our northern coast from Cape May
to the shores OF Maine. On the south
ern coast, and especially along the
shores of Florida, the destruction is
greatest among the southward flying
birds in October. The number and
variety of these misguided night travel
ers is surprising. The keeper of the
new and lofty light on Anastasia island,
at st. Augustine, Fla, informed the
writer that there is scarcely any dark
night in the year that does not witness
the destruction of numbers of birds that
dash themselves against the light, and
that often the number found in the
morning ranges from twenty to fifty.
Ducks, however, are the most notable
victims. These heavy birds are noted
for their velocity of fight. The keeper
found it impossible to protect the Ian
tern from the shattering shock OF their
onset, and had to have an iron network
erected around the light. Even this
falls to prevent mischief, for the ducks
strike the iron netting with such force
as to break through it and break the
heavy outer plate glass of the lantern.
It is not improbable that the destruction
of birds by this cause is tenfold greater
than any one who has not made the sub
iect an especial study has ever suspected.
At each of the forty or fifty more promi.
nent lights along the Atlantic coast OF
the United States the number of birds
thus slaughtered must amount to nearly
1900 annually-or say 100000 year.
It all shows at least (what was already
understood by those who have given at
tention to the subiect) that the flight OF
our migrating birds is accomplished in
the night.

Relics of BurgOyne's Army.

The Charlottesville (Va.) Jetersonian
says: George Carr, Esq, informed us
that one of bis farm hands, in plowing q
field on the farm, brought to the sur
face gold coin, coined more than one
hundred years ago. This farm of MIR.
Carr's is situated seven. miles nearly
north from Charlottesville, and is the
place where the army surrendered by
Gen. Burgoyne in the Revolution were
located as prisoners of war, and the coin
was undoubtedly lot by one of the
prisoners. The foundations of the cabins
in which these prisoners lived can be
seen at this day, and in the forests are
soen the graves of those who died while
they were quartered there. We believe
the fields retain the names given them at
that time, as Headquarters" etc.
When the prisoners were removed from
the county th3 place was purchased by
the late Garland Garth, Esq, and he
said there Was not a tree left on the
place. The forests in the vicinity had
all been cut down and used for fuel. The
forests that are now to be found on this
farm have grown up since the prisoners
left. Quite number of the prisoners
remained and married, and their de-
soepdants arc smong our most indus'
trious citizens.
