Apropos OF the coming to New Orleans

under the peculiar election law of
Louisiana, intimidation, no matter who

question is whether the returning board

the Senate committee seems to be di-

- GnEAr PIGEON ROOsr.

The Southland (Mo.) Rustic has
this in relation to pigeon roosts !: Pige-
ons have cone into this part of the
country by millions. OF evenings the
sky is darkened with them in the neigh
borhood of DIR. Dodson's, ON the Aug
laize. They have made Dodson's farm
their headquarters, and at night the
trees and uuderbrusll are loaded down
with mul;itudeS. AS this Toost is but
short distance from our house we have
had ample opportunity to watch their
maneuverS and to hear the incesSant
noise they make. 4 little before sun
down 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
roostiug place. After 3 while they re-
turn and settle OH 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 great
storm. There is constant roaring III
the air as myriatlS of the birls fly to
and fro. About dark they fly toward
the roost, and for long time they fly
round and round and have the appear
ance of bees swarming, although the
vast number and tornado-like roaring
| they make srrpasseS anything in the
power OF man to describe. After aw lille
they alight on the trees and bushes. and
the limbs are bent down ward, often
are broken off. The pigeons keep mp
q constant chattering, which can be
heard for miles away. They are never
still during the night. So tar as SLEEP
is concerned, such thing is out of the
question with pigeon. They are dis.
turbed by themselves, such throngs as.

constantly. This Toost is visited every
night by crowds of men, some Will
guns and others with poles, which they
use in tllreshing down the pigeons tha

dreds are killed every night; but wher
light appears the vatt armies go fortl

} Pigeons have been killed in New Yorl
with undigssted rice III their crops
which they had evidently gathered il

these and other circumstances it ha

DISCOVERY OF ANIMAL REMAINs.-
An important discovery of numerous
well preserved bones of diluvian ami
mails is reported from Steeten, Oh the
Lehn, il. Germany. The cave in which
they were found was accidentally laid
open by the tall of a colossal block OF
dolomite, which had closed it water
tight. A dry, soft, dolomite sand,
which filled the cave, had preserved
the organic remains most beautifully,
without any incrustation. The bones
were those of the cave-liou, larger than
the present African lion, of the cave
bear, aid the cave-hyena, the latter OF
much more powerful build than the liv-
ing species. There were also remnants
of the horse, the OK, the rhlnoceros and
the elephant. as we'll as several smaller
animals, which had been the prey Ut
the lion, the bear ami the byena. 1t
seems that the elephant calves had by
preference been attacked and devoured
by these diluvian carnivora. So-called
keprolitl,s, or petritied excrements, were
numerously mixed with the medley of
bones. 1t need scarcely be said that
the several beasts of prey did not inhab-
it the cave together, but that similar
species of them used it during successive
periods. A good selection OF the rem
nauts found is contained in the museum
at Wiesbaden.
