A correspondent of the Manches-
ter On. HI Mirror contributes the
following ia reference to the decreased
number of wild birds:
THE prevailing decrease in the
number Of insectivcrous and other
small birds is an established fact.
Various causes may be assigned for
the diminution, but it seems to me the
grand one is the inevitable tendency
Of civilization to aanihilate all forms
of wild life. 1t is sometimes said
that boys destroy large numbers of
birds. 1t is my observation, how
ever, that boys wantonly destroy
very few birds. The incipien. hunt
err, being anxious to attest bis de
structive skill, will sometimes shoot
a bird, but the popular disapproval
that follows the act generally cures
him of his ambition to destroy any
thing not legitimate game. In some
of the Middle and Southern States
large numbers of robins and rice
birds (bobolinks) are annually de-
stroyed by hunters. In these places
such birds are game, being captured
and consumed with every considera-
ton Of profit that attends the killing
OF pigeons aud cartridges. am not
aware that the general habits of the
community are anywhere directly
opposed to the existence of common
song birds, aud others not generally
regarded as proper objects for destruc-
ton; the fact that certain varieties of
these birds in a measure recognize
man as their natural protector weighs
against the proposition. The lew
birds captured for scientific purposes
hardly effect the general number of
individuals. The indirect efforts Of
civilization are strongly prejudicial to
the existence and multiplication of
birds. The destruction of forests de-
prives birds of their natural hauuts;
the relentless scythe, that searches
out every nook aud corner of the
grass lot, frightens them from our
fields; the constant modification of
physical relations, effected by thor
ough tillage, destroys the means of
s~usteDance of certain varieties. la
general terms, the earth, TO support
more men, can sustain only
less birds. Strange as 1t may first
seem, certain mechanical inventions
are emlnently deadly to birds. The
tendency of birds to dash iuto a
bright light is well known. Oae
morning this year l43 dead birds
were found lodged upon a lighthouse
near Ne.-Haveu, Conn We can
not tell how many hundreds, after
striking the light, fell into the wafer
that night. Over 200 birds were al
so found one morning this season on
board a propeller in Long Island
Sound, many, if not all of them were
killed by flying against the head
light and smoke-stacks. More than
these, the pilot Of the steamer Con
tlnental, al Hell Gate. found one
night this season the deck Of the yes
ssl covered with dead small birds.
They were swept off 10 heaps, and in
the morniag over $50 were counted;
and this was only q part of them.
Bird laws will accomplish something
in behalf of the harmless ~feathered
tribes; but il l3uks as il The time is
coming when our native song birds
must be domesliclted 10 b. p-e4erv-

Coed Parrot story.

Mr.. Bayar writing of animal na-
ture, 10 the atlantic" tells this sto-
ry Of a parrot owned by q friend 10
Chicago: When the great FIRE was
raging its owner saw that she could
rescue nothing except what she ill.,
stantly took 10 her hands. There
were two objects equally as dear /;
the parrot and the old family Bible
and she could take but one. After a
moment of hesitation, she seized the
Bible and was fastening away when
the parrot cried out Ia q very loud
and solemn voice:
Good Lord, deliver u.s."
No human being could have been
deaf to such appeal ; the precious BIZ
BILE was sacrificed and the bird saved.
In the home to which be was taken
there were among other visitors a
gentleman rather noted for volubility.
When the parrot first heard him i,
listened for some time then to the
amazement of all present it said. EN-.
ph~atically -
You talk TOO much.
The gentleman was at first embar.
raised but presently resumed his in.
terrupted discourse. Thereupon the
parrot laid his head on one side gave
au indescribably comieal and con.
temptous Him" and added:
"Tbere he goes again.

The Transval Republic.

Transyall, or the South African
Republic recently absorbed" by
Great Britain, has entered an efiec-
tual protest against the alleged treach-
cry which forced her to yield her lib
critics. The Republic comprises an
area more than TWICE as large as
Pennsylvania, rich In mineral depos.
its, fruitful in agricultural products,
and stocked with animals yielding
articles of commerce. The exhibit
at the Centennial of her sister Re-
public, the Orange Free State. was
composed of such products as the
South African Republic can offer to
the commerce Of the world, and their
value explains the reason for The seiz.
ure of the government by Great
Britain. The country was settled by
beers or Dutch colonists, emierants
from Cape Colony, who now number
q 5000. There are about $50, O00na-
ii geAfricans in the Republic, and q
war of the beers with one Of the
tribes gave the British an excuse for
moving troops into the territory, un-
der pretence of supporting tho Chris
tians, but 10 reality, as the event has
shown, to seize the government.
The President of the Republic, Tho.
mas Burgers, Surrendered the gov
eminent under protest, declaring that
be did SO because he had not the
power to draw the sword with good
success for the defense of the indie
penderce of the State against a su-
perior power, and that be did not
want to involve the white inhabitants
of South Africa in q disastrous war
without having employed beforehand
all means to secure the rights Of tho
people In a peaceful way. In his
farewell address to the Volksrath, be
enjoined upon the officials of the Re-
public obedience to the new govern
ment, while expressing his determin-
alton to appeal to, Englsnd, and, if
necessary, to the Sffendly interven
ton Of other powers to secure redress.
England will secure q practical mon.
opoly of what will some day, no
doubt. prove q valuable commerce.,
If she should maintain Der control OF
the Transvaal, and the only chance
the Republic has of independence
lies 10 the Intervention Of such Gov
erpments as may desire TO have q
share in that commerce.
