"THERE can be no mistake" the London
Graphic says, las to the heartiness of Gener-
al Grants reception in England" 1t attrib-
utes it to the fact that ''the people are glad
10 see him." but also TO the desire to express
the good will Of England for the United
States, and emphatically adds: "Thele prob
ably never was time in which the relations
of the two countries were so satisfactory as
they are now. 1t seems as if we had come to
that more healthy position in which mutual
goodwill is assumed as a matter of course"
Then follows statement the truth of which
will certainly be acknowledged by Mr.. Caleb
ChushiDg and almost certainly denied by
Chief Justice Cockburn: "The fact is due,
more than anything else to the Geneva arhi.
tration." That such good results should
have followed that experiment is declared 10
be "a very good reason why we should be
prepared in similar circumstances to have
recourse to similar remedy. 1t may yet
turn out that the first appeal to arbitration
by two powerful nations marked more i'm.
portant epoch i'll history than all the wars ol
the century"

The impression has be en- current for some
time in all the court circles of Europe that
an understanding 10 writing was entered into
between Bismarck and Gortchakoff before
Russa's declaration of war. That impress
ion has now developed into almost positive
knowledge. The last interview between
Lord Odo Russell and Bismarck has a very
suggestive bearing upon the subject. Russell
told the Prince that England would under no
consideration permit Russian occupation OF
Constantinople. To this Bismarck responded
that occupation of Constantinope was the
shortest road to the objects OF the war.
Clearly the pen is playing quite as important
part in the war as the sword. But while
so many pens are visible it will not be strange
If more swords soon flash from their scab-
bards. England's attitude is growing more
and more critical.

THE BIRD OF PARADISE.-The Jardin d Ac-
climatation, Paris, has just received some liv-
ing specimens of the bird of paradise, which il
has hitherto been found rarely possible to
bring alive to Europe. This bird is native of
New Guinea, the inhabitants of which country
endeavor to keep up the fable relative to these
specimens OF the feathered tribe, by per
suading the Indian merchants to whom they
sell them that they have no feet, and that, as
they live on air and light, they have neither
stomach or intestines. That belief was en-
cOuraged by the form given by the Papuan
naturalists or dealers 10 prepare them for sale.
by drying the bird with its plumes after taking
rarely found excepting in the countries which
produce spices, and particularly in Austral
asia. New Guinea, which Is comprised i'm that
part of the world, and the ArOo Islands near,
contain many specimens. The pineapple and
nulmet tree grow there in the midst Of i'm
mense forests, and supply their principal food.
The Papuans, barbarians as they are, derive
and take 1t with nets or sticks smeared with
birdlime. In the latter case they take 1t alive,
but as Ii is very difficult to preserve, they pre-
fer to use the bow and arrow. The manner in
which this chase is carried on Is very curious.
The men climb silently In the dark like cats
into the trees in which the birds sleep, pass the
night in the fork Of the branches, and at day.
break shoot at the birds while they are stfll
asleep. with very light arrows made from the
ribs Of leaves Of the palm tree. Their address
Is 50 marvellous that the bird generally falls to
the ground intact, stunned rather than wound
ed. The men continue as long as they can, and
then descend to the ground and proceed to the
The Malays Of Malacca are the chief purchas-
ers Of the birds. which they carry TO the No
lucca Isles, whence they are sent to India,
China, and Europe.
