HOW BIRDS WAKE md BEGIN TO SING.

The Pail Nall Gazette relates how q
trouble to find out at what hour during
the summer the commonest small birds
wake up and begin to sing. The result
riser Of all is the greenfinch. who proba-
bly, imagines that he may make up for
the thinness Of his voice and the monot-
ony OF his strains by being first In the
field. At any rate, he tunes up and
gets to work at his feeble piping at
about balf-past ! q. M. hours before the
more robust and melodious species Of
fnches are ready for work. The black
cap is to be heard at half.past Q, or
thereabouts; and half an hour later
the quail makes his first attempt
at o musical performance. II Is nearly
4 O'Clock before the first real songster
appears, in the person of the blaekbird.
The vigorous notes Of this performer
are to be heard about half an hour be-
fore those Of the thrush; and the chirp
OF the robin is about the same length
Of time before that of the wren. Final
ly, the house-sparrow and the tomtit
occupy the last place on the list.
Hitherto early risers have always been
exhorted to take the lark as their ex-
ample; but the lark is shown to be COM
paratfvely sluggard. He can never be
heard, like the greenfinch, actually be-
fore the break Of day; and, except on 81
very sunny morning, it does not appear
that he rises, in any sense of the word,
until long after chaffinches, linnets, and
q number of the hedge-row birds have
been up and about.

P1rrsBURa, Sept. 26.-Mr. A. @. Noyes'
chances for State Treasurer are becom-
ing less in this section. A greater de-
fection than that already reported has
come to light. This is the revolt of the
Ancient Order Of Hibernians in q
body.
State Delegate James Moran, the
head OF the Ancient Order OF Hiber-
mans OF Pennsylvania, was called on
to learn the facts respecting this new
source of alarm and danger to the
Democratic applicant for the money
bags OF the treasury. Mr.. Moran
states that in all probability the entire
strength Of the Hibernians in Allegheny
county would be diverted from Noyes.
The order numbers $500 in this county,
of which number about 1900 were voters.
He WAS opposed to Noyes Individually
and should endeavor to prevail upon all
members of the order to take similar
position. In his opinion ell of the
Hibernians in this county would oppose
Noyes, and the probability was they
would vote for the candidate OF the
Labor party in the State. There were
about 10000 Hibernians, and so far as
Mr.. Moran knew, the same feeling ex-
listed in regard to Noyes all over the
State as In Plttsburg.

be peculiarly the offspring Of the nine

UTAH DIVORCES.
tCourfer-J Journal

Divorces on the Utah plan have re-
Gently become very popular with people
who can't live together, but several Of
the Eastern and Western State courts
have pronounced such unlimbering not
exactly in accordance with true legal
principles. A Salt Lake City CORE
spondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean
throws some light ON the Utah plan.
He says:
"In this county over three hundred
divorces have been granted since Janu-
ary 1, 1877, and in Box, Elder and Puro,
each have done, 1t is said, three times
this amount; and at Beaver 1t is claimed
there has been even more of this busi-
ness done than in any OF the others.
The exposure OF these records will show
an unprecedented outrage OF law and
decency. The mOdns Operd1ldi has been
something like this: A gentleman or
lady In Chicago makes an affidavit that
he or she intends to become q resident
Of Utah; that they cannot live
peaceably Or pleasantly with their
wife or husband; that they were
married at such q time, and when
last heard from he or she was
residing at such place. The judge
orders that notice of this complaint
shall be served on the party, with ten
days to answer In. The time Is not al
ways sufficient If they received the no.
tice to appear. besides 1t would entail an
expense OF $500 If the party resided in
New York. But in a great majority Of
the cases these notices are sent to fic-
titious or wrong places, and the first
notice received is the bill of divorce.
"In some OF the home cases man
and wife have eaten breakfast together,
and had their bill of divorce before
dinner"
This is quite as bad as polygamy it.
self, and certainly @ monstrous source
Of immoral practice. In fact, it is q
very beastly arrangement, which should
be extinguished.

OLD TINE TABLES.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat

At the court of Louis XIV, in the
house OF princes and nobility, and only
for them, the dinner hour, or the time
for the ''table," was announced by the
blowing of horns. They used to sit
on benehes-bancs in French-thence
the word banquet. It was Henry Ill
who first introduced chairs. There
were tables Of silver and gold. Wooden
tables were simply covered with cloths,
made in the houses OF the bour-
geoise. They hung away down, serving
as substitutes for napkins. The first
were made at Rheims, and presented by
the city to Charles VII, at his corona
tion. Later they used napkins at court
made OF velvet, with their coats OF arms
on them, and richly ornamented by
precious stones. But those Of linen
were also used. Forks were unknown up
to the fourteenth century. They car
red with them spoons and knives. A
knife was called monk" a fork q
''nun," because the husband managed
banquets they used to sit In couples,
always man and wife together. and
those who sat beside each other ate
from one plate. and drank out OF one
goblet. Wherever in Germany that
fashion did not prevail there were
separate eating rooms for men and wo-
men. There were neither glass DOR por
celain in use in the eleventh century.
The vessels Of the poorer classes were
made of wood and tin, and those of the
wealthier of maiolica and Fayence.
The nobility had silver, silver gilt-plated
or gold, which served more to feed the
eye than for any practical use-sinply to
stand on the sideboard, which was called
buffet in the fifteenth and credence in the
sixteenth century. At this time the
State interferes with the domestic affairs
of its subjects, prescribes the number of
courses for the table and the expenses
of their meals, the cut and length OF
their clothes. At this time we find the
luxury laws of the middle ages still to
prevail, to which new ones were added.
Philip the Handsome forbade any one
the use of golden or silver vessels who
had not an income of 10000, and or
dered that at q common meal but one
served. On festive occasions one milk
dalned that at banquet held not at
home no more than $1 per head-or,
rather, per stomach-is to be expended.
An ordinance at Basle 1556) declares
that meal is to have no more than
shillings [about cents-Tr. of meat or
two batzen Of fish per person. A law of
the sixteenth century, in Venice and
Ferrara, fixes dress not to exceed the
price OF Is ducats, and any ornament
for woman not to cost more than so.
Peasant women are forbidden by the
law to wear silk, pearls, gold or silver.

PARALYZED.

The present Archbishop Of Dublin,
the gifted author Of the work. so widely
known, on the "Study Of Words" is not
in very robust health, and has been for
many years apprehensive Of paralysis.
At recent dinner Ia Dublin. given by
the Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland, his
grace sat on the right OF his hostess,
the Duchess OF Abercorn. In the midst
of the dinner the company was startled
by seeing the archbishop rise from his
seat, and still more startled to hear
him exclaim, in dismal and sepulchraI
tone, SIT has comel it has comel''
"What has come, your grace?" eagerly
cried half dozen voices from different
parts Of the table. what have been
expecting for twenty years." solemnly
answered the archbishop-"a stroke of
paralysis. I have been pinching my
self for the last twenty minutes, and
find myself entirely without sensation"
Pardon me, my dear archbishop" said
the duchess, looking up to him with q
somewhat quizzica! smile, "pardon me
for contradicting yoa, but it Is me that
you have been pinching."s

WHITE SULPHUR ETIQUETTE.
[Cor, Cincinnati ENQUIRER. !

Just before I left White Sulphur a
gentleman whose daughter was one Of
the bellies of the place explained to my
mother and self the etiquette of love-
making at the White Sulphur. He said
it was understood by both gentlemen
and ladies that no matter how far a
gentleman might go In profession OF
love for lady, neither she nor any one
else was to understand him seriously,
but to take it for granted that he was
merely desirous of paying the lady q
compliment. It being admitted that
the highest compliment man can pay
a woman is to ask her to marry him,
gentlemen desirous of carrying the lam
guage of fiattery to its utmost limit
sometimes even asked that important
question, but it was distinctly under
stood that he was not to be taken at his
word. "If," continued my informant,
"a man is in earnest in his desire to
marry lady to whom he pays atten-
tion here, he will not ask her while she
is at this place, but will wait until after
her departure, because, owing to the
etiquette I have explained, she would
not believe him to be serious If he put
the question here"

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.
New York Times.

The ministers of the gospel, who held
q meeting o,day, 80 far forgot their
calling as to gloat over the downfall of
Morton, because he opened the gates Of
the Exhibition on Sunday. The Rev.
DIR. Il. FL. Nevin said that when he
heard the intelligence he felt a joy
somewhat like the children Of Israel,
who, after they passed through the Red
sea, looked back on Pharaoh, VIII did
not get through. The Rev. DR.. W. o.
Johnstone said that although one man
had fallen by the hand of God, the Min
isterial Union would show themselves
very recreant IL they took no further
steps in the matter. The Rev. George
W. Mclaughlin said this was the time
for those who believe in Jesus Christ to
stand up fairly on the question. Sup
pose one man falls and another
occupies his place, does that change the
purpose Of the corporation? This is
about fair sample OF the manner in
which the ministers of Philadelphia de-
meaned themselves to-day, instead of
taking the fallen brother by the hand.

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.

The expression of Frightening one to
death" is generally supposed to be as
extravagant as ''dying Of q broken
heart" Perhaps both are within the
scope of possibility and the realm of
boys wanted to frighten off some other
boys who were robbing their pigeon
