POLITICAL POINTS.

The President has addressed the following
circular letter to all prominent Federal officers
throughout the country:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, June %.
SIR; desire to call your attention to the fol-
lowing paragraph in a letter addressed by me
to the Secretary of the Treasury on the conduct
to be observed by officers of the General Gov
eminent in relation to elections:
"No officer shall be required OF permitted to
take part in the management of political or
CARNATIONS, caucuses, conventions, or election
campaigns. Their right to vote and to express
their views on public questions. either orally or
through the press, is not denied provided it
does not interfere with the discharge Of their
official duties. No assessment for political pur-
poses of officers or subordinates should be al
loved E rt E8E
This rule is applicable to every department
of the civil service. It should he understood
by every civil officer of the General Govern
ment that he is expected to conform his con-
duct to it's requirements. Very respectfully,
20 BIB. HAYES.

A Strange Bird Story.

L. Page and son, cutting wood near
San Jose, noticed for several days that
number of birds remained constantly
upon tree near them, some going and
coming from time to time. Upon cut
ting down the tree they discovered
limb with hollow cavity, some two feet
in length and three or four inches in
diameter, in which were two full-grown
birds of some goodly-sized species.
There was small aperture through
which the birds were supplied with food
from their mates. The limb was cut
and the birds liberated. They were
neither of them able to fly, having evil
IDENTIFY never been out OF their imprison-
ment. How they came inside is ques-
ton. It is probable that the mother
bird was small, and, though able to make
her nest in the hollow of the tree and
rear her young, could not extricate them,
and they did not gain strength enough
to help themselves until the hollow mad
SO closed that escape was impossible.
Those who examined the birds think
they are about years old They had
been fed from their birth by their bird
fellows through the aperture in the limb
of the tree. A nobler instance of devo-
ton even the human family never ex-
hibited.-Sa9a Jose (CdI.) Mercury.

The Henry county (Mo.) Democrat
relates that 60 citizen OF Sedalia passing

In 1886 he prosecuted Lord Melbourne
