PIGEON Posi- EXPERIMENTS. IA pigeon
post between Europe and America is q
novelty which is promised us. This
wonderful project, which, if successful,
is destined 10 supersede in a measure
the submarine telegraph, will be accom-
rlished by means of an ocean-hum-
ming bird of great docility and intel
ligence, which has lately been dicovered
in Iceland, and which has already
proved its ability to fly at the rate of
$50 miles an hour The birds live only
in wild rocky regions, and the land tel
egraph or common carrier pigeon will
be required to supplement their labors.
A pair of these birds, in recent exper-
iment, brought dispatches from Paris to
lonely part of Kent, England, ten
miles from London, in less than an hour
and half, and the dispatches were for
warded from that point by press carrier
pigeons. The owners of these birds
are now engaged in training and pro-
pagating them, and will to establish q
daily mail next Summer between Amer
lea and Europe, the whole distance to
DO traversed between sunrise in one
hemisphere ard sunset on the other.
If the transatlantic experiment is sue
cessful, the birds can be brought to this
country and domesticated in some rocky
region of New England, whittier they
will bring us European letters, printed
in miniature, with twenty-four hours of
their date.

A "PooR MANS FRIEND. More than
one generation have sung the praises
of good old David McWayne, one Of
the early settlers of Oxford County,
Maine. He lived in Waterford, and
the place of his residence is still known
as " McWayne's Hill, in honor OF him.
He was an eccentric man, but true
friend to the unfortunate, and when
David McWayne died, the poor men of
the section lost their chief stay.
On certain season the corn crop
failed almost entirely in the county.
1t was McWayne's custom to keep
years supply of corn on hand in ad-
vance; and then, again on his elevated
land, the late frosts of spring and early
frosts of autumn did not trouble him
as they did his neighbors of lower-lying
farms. And so it came to pass in this
winter of scarcity, David McWayne had
enough to spare. Some people over in
the adjoining town of Norway, hearing
that he had plenty of breadstuff, and
knowing his liberality, drove over for
the purpose of purchasing. They
asked him if be had any corn to spare.
eyes," said he, "I have corn to
spare" They wanted twenty bushels.
Have you any money to pay forit?'
he asked.
eyes, sir" answered the spokesman
of the party. "We should not have
come without money"
"Then, gentleman" said McWayne
with calm decision, CT cannot let you
have corn. If you have money, you
can send to Portland for it. I am sur
rounded by poor people, who have no
money and no corn. 1 must supply
them, and let them pay me in work
They would suffer else"
And through that long, winter, David
McWayne adhered to his resolution.
No man who had the money to pay for
it could buy his corn; but to the poor
and penniless he empted his gamers,
allowing them to work in return for
BIN, at their own convenience. -Ne,c

STATUE OF LINCOLN.

The unvailing Of the statue of Lincoln
took place in Lincoln Square, Washing
ton, on Friday. The original cost OF
the monument, ST. 200, and other in
cidental expenses. have all been paid by
coiored people. The first contribution
to the statue fund was made the morn
inc after the assassination OF Lincoln by
Charlotte Scott, colored woman OF
Marietta. Ohio, who contributed $50.
The last Congress appropriated $4,000
for the pedestal and the statue was al
lowed to pass the Custom-house free OF
duty. The statue, which is Of bronze,
is of colossal size. being twelve feet high,
resting upon a pedestal ten feet high. 1t
represents Lincoln standing erect with
the proclamation of emancipation in his
left hand, while his right hand is out
stretched over the kneelipg figure of
slave from whose limbs the shackles
have Just been freed. Upon the base OF
the monument is the word "Emanci-
patton" There were on the speaker
stand President Grant. members of the
Cabinet, Justices Of the Supreme Court,
Foreign Ministers. Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes and other persons Of promi-
nence. After music by the marine band.
Hail Columbis," prayer and reading OF
the emancipation proclamation, Prof.
Langston formally accepted the statue in
behalf Of the entire nation, and then
called upon Presideu: Grant to unvail
it. Prolonged applause greeted the
words of the speaker. and increased
when the President stepped to the front
and grasped the rope tina. was all draped
to the flag vailing the statue. The Pres
ident gave one firm pull and the starry
banner glided down, and amid deafen-
ing cheers OF the multitude, the playing
of music and booming OF cannon, the
beautiful monument stood unvailed. A
poem was then read. composed by Miss
Cornelia Ray (colored1 of New York.
Frederick Douglass was then introduced
and delivered an Grafton. in the course
of which he said;
Lincoln's great mission was to accom-
plish two things: First, to save his
country from ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and,
second, to free his country from the
great crime of slavery. To do one or the
other, or both, he must have the earnest
sympathy and powerful cooperation OF
his loyal fellow-countrymen. Without
this his efforts must be vain and utterly
fruitless, and had he put the abolition
of slavery before the salvation of the
Union. he would have inevitably driven
from him powerful class Of American
people and rendered resistance to rebel
lion impossible. Viewed from genuine
abolition ground. Lincoln seemed to-
day cold, dull and Indifferent. but meas
urinG him by the sentiment of his coun-
try-a sentiment he was bound as q
statesman to consult-he was swift,
Jealous and determined. Though Lin
coin shared the prejudices Of his white
fellow-couutrymen against the negro. il
is hardly Necessary to say that IN his
heart of hearts he ioathed and hated
slavery. He was willing. while the
South was loyal, that it should have its
pound of flesh, because he thought II
was nominated in the bond, but further
than this no earthly power could make
him go.

WHEN LAWFUL.

How BARNS ARE BURNED.--An exchange
says "a gentleman residing in an adioin-
ing county narrowly escaped being burned
ont short time since. He was walking
through the entry facing his horse stalls,
when there was a snap and flash under
his foot, and in instant quantity of
loose hay lying near was in blaze. For
tuuately bucket of water was at hand and
the barn was saved from ruin. Some one
of the farm hands while working i'm the
try had dropped from his pocket a parlor
match, which when trod upon ignited, and
had not the owner discovered il, bis barn
would have been laid in rnins. Doubtless
nearly every conflagration we are called
upon to record happens by snch careless
means. A match is dropped about the
building, is trod upon by horse or other
stock, the fire blazes up, the barn is burned,
and cramps" get the blame. Farm hands
should not under any circumstances, be al
lowed to enter tho barn or out-buildings with
matches loose in their pockets"
