1t would seem, at first, that birds
are limited by no barriers, and that
a study of. their habits could
scarcely throw any light upon the
causes of animal distribution; but
remarkable contrasts in the extent
Of their range re presented by diff
ferent groups Of birds. Thus the
gulls (Laride) and petrels (Procel-
larid@) are great wanderers, few
being found, with scarcely any va
ration, over almost the entire
globe, other species being restricted
to one Of the greater oceans, while
parrots, pigeons, and many small
perching birds are confined to
islands of limited extent, or to
single valleys or mountains. Some
birds, such as the apteryx, ostrich
and cassowary, have no power of
fight, and, of course, limited means
of dispersal. The short-winged
birds, such as wrens and toucans,
are able to fly but a short distance,
and only species endowed with great
powers of flight can cross extended
widths Of sea. Violent gales some
times carry small birds accidentally
to foreign countries, as is shown by
the large pumbers of North Ameri-
can stragglers which reach the Ber-
mudaS. Inadequate supply of food,
afforded by the vegetation of a
country, oceans, and even large
rivers, may serve as effectual bar
riers to the dispersal Of birds. The
presence of enemies, of either the
young, the eggs, or the parent birds,
may limit the range of a Species
In the Malay Archipelago pigeons
are said to "abound most where
monkeys do not occur, and in South
America the same birds are compar-
atively scarce, in the forest plains,
and campos, and on the mountain
plateaux, where these nest-hunting
are rarely found"

entertain her with their perform
ances, and that now, with her
permission, they would finish
the concert by singing "God Save
the Queen;" Mr.. Campbell also
saying that, as none of his pupils
could see her majesty, who had
so graciously listened to them,
he hoped she would give them
the pleasure of hearing her
speak before they left her presence.
The queen seemed highly pleased
with the suggestion, and in the last
piece rose from her seat and joined
with them in singing it. At the
conclusion, coming forward to them,
she said she could not take the
hands Of all the singers, there were
so many Of them, but if the little
children would come up, of whom
there were sixteen, she should be
glad to shake the hand Of each one.
This they accordingly did, much to
their qualification. And 50 they
we're much pleased with the result
of their concert, while they fondly
entertain the hope, for which there
is some ground, that they may one
day have the queen down to visit
them at Norwood.

The HusbandIess Women OF the
Land.

In New York city the subject Of
woman's work is being discussed in
the newspapers and in the follow
ing manner:
To the Editor of the Tribune;
SIR-The letter from GA Wo-
man" in your Saturdays issue
comes evidently from the pen OF
one who has a husband and home,
a household after whose ways it is
her sphere and pleasure to look.
But she seems to forget that there
are thousands and thousands Of us
who have not and cannot, if statis-
tics be correct, expect to have hus-
bands and households of our own,
who must make for ourselves our
own place in the world, who must
work day by day for our daily
bread, and we cannot all be teachers
and seamstresses. These paths are
too crowded already, and what
right has she to say we are leaving
our sphere if we step over into
some less frequented avenue, where
men have heretofore walked? We
grant there are many things which
men do that women cannot and
ought not to do, and they do not
wish to do them; but there are also
many things which women can do
as fitly and as well, and if we may
not do these, what shall we do?
We don't want to "go out of the
sphere in which God has placed
u.s." we want to find what that
sphere is; what it is that God has
giyen us to do. But is that sphere
to be a burden on some man, father,
brother, husband? For those who
are wives and mothers, or only
daughters perhaps, those whose
sphere is evidently at home, GA
Woman" speaks only truth; but
for us who, from necessity or
choice, instead of husband-hnnting
or depending upon father or brother
for support, go out into the world
to find a place and work for our
selves, what right has any one to
say we should do what we can't,
and should not do what we can?
| am not q woman's rights"
woman, as the term is generally
used, but | believe we have the
right to do any honest work that
we are capable of doing, Or can
make ourselves capable of doing.
Those positions for which men are
fitted and women are not will be
filled by men and not by women !
that will regulate itself. But moth
ing can narrow the sphere Of wo-
man to her home when there are 50
many of us who have no homes or
households, and no one has a right
to ignore this great army. 1t is we
who are struggling, it is we who
must fight for ourselves or 60 to
ti,e wall, and it is a shame that
our sisters from the shelter Of their
homes and their husbands protec-
ton should snecr at US and con-
denim us.

To the Rditer of the Ttibu,


SIR-I have read a great many
letters from different women, who
write as though all women had
nothing to do but fondle their hus-
bands and children. They Go not
seem to think of those women that
have TO support their husbands and
children. | think fully one-quarter
of those that are married, either
wholly or in part, support their
families. There is a very large class
that have no husbands. What are
they to do? Have they no right to
do whatever they can to get a liy-
ing? / think their place is just
where they can do the best for
themselves. Men do not hesitate
to do womcn's work if they feel
called upon to do so. There are
men dress-makers. Perhaps if your
correspondent from Passale, New
Jersey, had no money or husband
to do for her she would not look
with SO much disgust at other wo-
men whom she thinks want to get
out Of the sphere that God placed
them in. ] don't think God ever

From Lippincotts.l
After the season of the principal
bull fights is over, a second series
is inaugurated in Madrid, and in
this stout young Amazons take the
places Of the hardy brutes who
usually play the matadors. These
heroines bind up their abundant
hair with ribbons, and around their
bodies wear a wicker bottomless
barrel, which protects them against
the most furious assaults of the tor
mented animals. These women,
when dancing before the bulls and
exciting them to combat, look
more like ponies walking on their
hind legs than humban beings.
They are frequently thrown high
in the air, and now and then come
crashing in their ozier barrel down
upon the spectators. The animals
chosen for this minor series of COM
bats are ordinarily young, and their
tormentors avoid killing them il
possible. The rings are frequently
invaded by crowds of amateurs, who
are provided with long, flexible
poles, by the aid of which they leap
over the backs Of the maddened
bulls that rush at them. A few
years since children were intro
ducd in the rings in combats
with bull calveG, in which the poor,
little, misguided human creatures
were sometimes crippled for life by
the calves, whose play was too
rough for them.

nothing to do but take care of their
houses. As | read the bible it is

The French bishops and clergy
are very poorly paid. The Cardinal
Archbishop Of Paris only davis
$4,000 a year, or $1,000 less
than the Bishop of Sodor and
Man, the lowest paid English pre-
late. The sixteen French arch
bishops only receive from the State
$4,000 a year each; the sixty
bishops, $4,000; the 200 Wears
general receive on an average
5000. The communeS unless they
refuse, as is sometimes the case,
find house for the parish priest,
who is also paid for performing
marriages and other rites of the
church. Under the ancient regime,
some of the bishops had 100000
q year. The Bishop of Strasburg
dined off silver, and Monsignor
Dillon, who was very fond of hunt
ing, kept pack of hounds.

Qaeen Victoria at a COnceTt By the

In a recent letter from London
to the New Jerusalem Messenger,
Mr.. Hayden gives an interesting
sketch Of the " Royal Normal Col
lege and Academy of Music for the
Blind" situated at Norwood, Lon
don, Q few minutes walk from
Sydenham Crystal Palace. Not
long since, he says, by an arrange
ment brought about through the
good Offices of the Duke of West
minsteF, the whole school went
down TO Windsor, and gave the
Queen a private concert at her resi-
denoe. On arriving at the castle,
Mr.. Campbell was informed by the
Queens secretary that her majesty
seldom listened to any kind of per-
formance more than twenty min
yates; and that he must have some
one employed to keep watch, and
keep him advised Of her motions;
and if it was observed that she be-
came restless and twisted about in
her chair, he must bring his concert
to an end, no matter what part OF
the programme he had reached,
So he commenced his perform
ance in circumstances calculated to
render him a little nervous or dis
concerted. But he proceeded with
good courage. At the end Of
twenty minutes the queen did not
show any signs Of weariness, but,
on the other hand appeared much
interested as the exercises went on.
AT the end of an hour and quar-
ter, Mr.. Campbell, thinking they
had detained her long enough, came

ton they felt in being allowed to
