THE BUTCHER-BIRD.-An incident H.
lusLrating the le,Uc.Ly oil butcher-Olrds
and their tenacity OF life recently oc-
Cured in Spring gfeld, Massachusetts. A
gentleman saw one OF these cruel crea-
lures take a sparrow, impale him on the
sharp twig of tree, and then peck at
him seemingly with almost fendIsh de-
light. Seizlng a gun the man fired at
the butcher-blrd, aud clipped off one Of
Its legs. Undismayed by the report OF
the gun, and apparently thinking that
the sparrow had wounded him, the
butcher-bird attacked the little Fellow
with redoubled fury, when the gentle
manfred again and both birds ieIl, life
less as he supposed, on the snow. But
before be could pick up his gun the
bulcher-bird had come to life, picked up
the poor little dead sparrow, and fuI-
tered away.

In past years the department of agri-
.culture has at times made itself somewhat
ridiculous by predictions of short cotton
crops, which were based on imperfect est.
mates and the fears of correspondents who
told terrible tales Of drought, flood, or army
worm. This year the mistake, il any is
made, will not be in that direction,
the August reports Of cotton being very en-.
couraging. In grain there are similarly
bright prospects of abundance, and specu.
ators who took different view have lost
money.
A recent Washington dispatch says !:
"The late news from Spain is that the failure
TO subdue the insurrectiOn in Cuba is mainly

Spain has any intention OF abandoning the
contest, or that she fears outsiders. 1t is

Synimes' Theory.

Capt. Americus Symmes, the advocate
of the theory that navigable cavity ex-
tends through the earth from pole to
pole, has contributed five hundred dol
lars toward the Howgate Arctic expedi.
tion. Symmes says that all the results
of the previous expeditions justify his
belief, and he is confident that Howgate
will be able to enter the cavity. In
letter to the Louisville Courier Journal
he says: "Did not Capt. Waddle go
upon south exploring expedition a few
years ago, and found an open Polar seq,
as in the north, and, when entering it
found his compass had reversed its poi
tion, and was pointing north when be
thought he was going southwark,
and became alarmed and turned tark.
when, if he had followed on as his
compass directed, he would have come
out at the north pole, and would have
proved the theory true, no doubt hao''a-
bic within.

The Poor Gentlemen.

There are more young American men
in the penitentiaries of this country
learning trades than there are outside of
them. The principal cause of this is
that we are educating cur young men
for gcntlcmen-trying to make lawyers,
preachers, doctors and clerks out of ma
teral that nature intended tor black
smiths, brickIayers, carpenters, tailors
and other honest "hewers Of wood and
drawers of water" 1t is a mistake, and
4 big one, to teach boy ard girls to
believe that to labor is disgracelul, and
to do nothing for living is more becom-
ing the society in which they expect to
move and have the respect of. Hang
such society! 1t is rotten to the core
to-day, and there are many mems sons
and daughters who are now being edu-
Gated to play the parts of leading lady"

have played their parts and the curtain
drops. Go to work - Courier Journal.

it came from and who sent it is unknown

This is the second model which has been
received 1t Is stated that the first came
from Canada. Both are encased in strong
hcavily-bound boards, which have no
mark upon them save the direction, "To
the Lee Monument Association, Rich

that the names of the competing sculp.

propose to adopt the best work, and will
be unbiased in their choice. In accord
ance with this requirement. no one knows
the names of the seulptors who are COM

tors are known to be working on mSdels
which will come in during the month OF
September. The committee will prob
ably decide the matter before the end o.:
the month if all the models are in. The
competition for this great work will be
very lively. SculptOrs in Europe and
America have significd their intention of
competing for it. Many will simply send
