THE REVOLT IN THE STRONGEST REpUBLI
CAN STATE.
From the IoUQ State IL

From the LotCG State Leader.
The Republican revolt against the new
southern policy of President Hayes grows
more and more open every day. Men who
were disposed only to grumble when Mr..
Chamberlain was deserted have become
openly rebelious since Mr.. Packard has
been compelled to share the same fate.
In South Carolina there was, they admit,
room for serious doubt as to the really
elected governor, while on the face of
the returns there was little question that
Mr.. Hayes was fairly entitled to its electo-
rial vote. But in Louisiana they have not
been able, even by the decentralization of
politics. to separate the case OF Mr.. Hayes
as candidate for president from that OF
Mr.. Packard as candidate for governor,
especially when the latter received nearly q
thousand more votes than the former.
They refuse to look at the question through
the glasses Of teachnicality with which the
commission has favored them, and nc
amount OF reasoning can induce them tC
credit the title of Mr. Hayes to the prcsi
dency when Mr.. Packard's is deserted al

CONDENSED food for horses, the manu-
fac,ure Of which has lately been begun
in Russia, gives entire satisfaction, &C
cording to the Journal of st. Petersburg.
1t is composed of crushed oats, gray pea
flour, hemp seed oil and salt. The paste
is cut into thick cakes four inches in di-
ameter, weighing, when dry, one pound
each. These are perforated with small
holes to increase the effect Of soaking
them in water, and baked in an oven.
They are then stored in boxes with a
powderng of bran between the layers.
when prepared for use, four Of them,
which are equal in nutriment to ten
pounds of oats, are strung on wire and
constitute ration for horse. They are
eaten greedily either dry or stepped, and
though the animal grows thinner, when
fed on them exclusively, yet they lose
none of their vigor even when working
hard. This provender is very convenient
for transportation, and by means OF it
the surplus products of one year can be
economically preserved until seasons OF
greater scarcity.

THE BIRDS OF PARADIsE.-When the
Portuguese discovered the Molucca Is
lands they found there dried birds skins
of so beautiful and strange an appearance
as to call forth the admiration of those
gold seeking navigators. The Malay
dealers called them Manuk- Dewata, or
Birds of the Gods" which was trans
lated by the Portuguese as Passaras da
SOL The Mohammedan conquerors of
that country invented the legend that
these birds, which no one had seen alive,
came from Paradise, that they lived ex-
clusively in the air and never alighted on
the earth. Speculation added to this
story that these birds had neither feet nor
wings, and the dried skins brought to
Europe strengthened this belief, as the
wings and feet were really wanting, hav-
ing been removed by the natives. The
birds Of Paradise are very lively and
continually in motion. Their voice
sounds like long "wak, wax" or "wok,
wok," and can be heard long distance
1t is not known how they build their
nests. They live on fruits and insects

Why Bryant Left the Law.

William G. Bryant, the venerable poet
and journalist, when young man prac-
ticed law in the western part of Massa-
chusetts. The circumstance, which in
duced him to give up that profession and
become a journalist, is said to have been
disgust with the technicalities of pleading
Young Bryant brought an action of
SANDER for one Bloss against one Tobey,
for saying that he (Bloss) had burnt his
own store. There is no doubt in my
mind that he burnt his own store.
He would not have got his
goods insured if he had not meant to
burn it,"
The case was tried and the Jury re-
turned a verdict of five hundred dollars
damages.
Tobey's lawyers moved the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts for an arrest of
Judgment, because the words were not
Sian derous in themselves, it not being an
offence for man simply to burn his own
store.
The Court decided, Chief-Justice Pa
sons giving its opinion, that simply to
burn ones own store is not unlawful
when not accompanied by an injury t. ,
or by desire to injure some other per-
son. Therefore to charge man " tn
burning his own store is not slanderous,
for it does not charge him with GRIM
nal offence.
IfTobey had said-such is the reason
ing of the court-that Bloss burnt his
own store with the intention of getting
the insurance on the goods, such wor, 8
would have charged him with criminal
offence, and would have been slanderous.
The judgment was therefore set aside,
and Mr.. Bryant, so it is said, was so dis
gusted with the law, which by techni-
cality, deprived his client of remedy
for SANDER, that he gave up his profess
sion. Those of our readers who are law
yers will find the case of Bloss vs.. Tobey
reported in Pickering's Reports, p. 800.
