Constantinopie has one grace and gaiety
peculiar to itself, that comes from an infinite
numher of birds of every kind, for which the
Turks nourish a warm sentiment of sympathy
and regard. MOSQUES, groves, old walls, gar
dens, palaces, all resound with the song, the
whistling and twttering of birds; every
where wings are tiuttering, and life and
harmony abound. The sparrows enter the
houses boldly, eat ont of the women's
and chldrens hands swallows nest over
the cafe doors, and under the arches of
the hazars; pigeons in innumerable swarms,
maintained by legacieS from Sultans and pri-
waite individuals, form garands of black and
white along the cornices of the cupolas and
around the terraces of the minaretS; sea
gulls dart and play over the water; thou
sands of turtle-dOveS coo amOrouSly among
the Expresses in the cemeteries; crows croak
about the Castle of the Seven Towers
hacyons come and 60 in long files be-
tween the Black Sea and the Sea of
MaTmora: and stOrks sit upon the cupolas
of the mausoeums. For the Turk, each
one OF these birds has gentle meaning or q
benignant virtue; turtle-doves are favorable
to lovers swallows keep away fire from the
roofs where they build their nests; storks
make yearly pilgrimages to Mecca halcyons
carry the souls OF the faithful to Paradise.
Thus ne protects and feeds them through a
sentiment of gratitude and piety; and they
enliven the house, the sea and the sepulchre
Every quarter Of STEAMBOAT is full of the noise
of them, bringing to the city a sense of the
pleasures of country life, and continually re-
freshing the soul with reminder of Nature

THE RESPONSIVE CHORD,
A welI-Rem me mbcred Incident Of the war
Between the states.


Rev J, William Jones' In an address before
Che National Sunday School Convention, At
lanta. Ga, related the following incident: "In
Che early spring Of 1863, when the Confederate
and Federal armies were confronting each
other on the opposite hills of Stafford and
Spottsylvania, two bands CHANGED one even
sweet music on either bank OF the river A
gathered to listen to the music. the friendly
began to answer each other. First the band
spangled Banner Hail Columbia or
conclusion the boys in blue would cheer
Southern bank would respond with Dixie or
Bonnie Blue Flag or some other Southern
melody, and the boys in gray, would attest
their appreciation with an old Confederate
yell. But presently one of the bands struck
up. in sweet and plaintive notes which were
waited across the beautiful Rappahannock,
were caught up at once by the other band and
swelled into grand anthem which touched
every heart, Home, Sweet HumeH At the
conclusion Of this piece there went up stimuli
taneons shout from both sides of the riUer-
cheer followed cheer, and those hills, which
had 50 recently resounded with hostile guns
echoed and re-echoed the glad acclaim A
chord had been struck responsive to which
tho hearts of enemeS-enemieS Hen-coud
beat in unison, and, on both sides of the
river,
Something down the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder"

A THIEF'S PLEA.
The Title to Those Hams That bones

[XirRinin LNaY.l NhrOnihle.l


Yesterday some new and incontrovertibIe
proofs came to light which proved Bones to
be guilty. and he was taken up to be tried.
The officer testified that when he had first ar
rested him. some weeks before, he thought
from his air Of innocence, taken together with
his very plausible story, that, he must be the
wrong man, and he let him GO. Since then
he had watched the house carefully, and yes
terday found several of the hams in his pos
session, marked with the grocers brand
Bones, when asked what he had to say,
stood up and addressed the court; "The po-
liceman, in his decision few weeks ago,
finally settled the question of my title to
these hams, and think every man, irrespcc-
tive of party ties, will take the same view In
my opinion, his decision was final"
1--WE have no Electoral Commission on the
force" remarked the court.
THE interests of the city" responded
Bones. demand some rest. The agitation Of
past differences can do no good. All conflict
ing elements should be harmonized. Let the
bitter bygones OF last month be forever bu-
ried. Whatever doubts there may have been
upon the question of my title to those hams
were forever set at rest when that title was
examined into and passed upon by the police
man. His decision was final"
The court held contrary opinion, and sent
Bones up for sixty days.
