The Rird nf Paradise.

The Jardin discrimination, Paris, has
Just received some living specimens Of
the bird Of paradise, which it has hither-
to been foupd rarely possible to bring
alive to Europe This bird is q native
Of New Guinea, the inhabitantsof which
country endeavor to keep up the fable
relative to these specimens Of tie
feathered tribe, by persuading the
Indian merchants to whom they sell
them that they have no feet, and that, as
they live on air and light, they lave
neither stomach nor intestines. That
belief was encouraged by the form given
by the Papuan naturalists or dealerEsfp
prepare them for sale, by drying the
bird with its plumes after taking out the.
inside and tearing off the legs. 1t is
rarely found excepting in the countries
which produce spices, and, particularly
in Australasia. New Guinea, which ~
comprised in that part Of the world, and
the Aroo Islands near, contain many
specimens. The pineapple and nutmeg
tree grow there in the midst Of immense
forests, and supply their principal food.
The Papuans, barbalians rs they are
derive considerable profit from the sale
of the bird, and take it with nets or
sticks smeared with birdhme. In the
latter case they take it alAe, but as 1t is
very difficult to preserve, they prefer 70
use the bow and arrow. sThe manner jn
which this chase is carried on is very
curious. The men climb silently in the
dark like cats into the trees in Which the
bird sleeps, pass the night in the FORKS
OF the branches, and at daybreak Shoot
at the birds while they are still asleep.
with very light arrows made from the
ribs of leaves of the palm-tree. Their
addrers is so marvellous that the bird
falls to the ground intact
stunned rather than wounded. The men
continue as long as they can, and then
descend to the ground and proceed to
the preparation and embalming Of their
victims. The Malays of Malaoca are tie
chief purchasers Of the birds, which
they carry to the Moluoca Isles, whence
they are sent to India. China aud
Europe.

An Awful Crime.

At Lawrenceville, Ohio, one night re-
Gently, Joseph Kunzier was shot by his
thirteen-year old son, at the instigation
of his mother. The husband and wife
had lived unhappily for some time, and
on the night'in question the father had
gone to- the village, and while absent
Mrs. Kunzier. prevailed on the boy to
load the gun and lay in wait for his
father. The boy obeyed, and, conceal
ing himself behind a wOodpile, waited
for an hour, and when his father came
into the yard shot him through the
back. This done, he went into the
house, when the mother took the gun
from him and laid it by the side of her
husband, who, still alive, was crying for
help. She then returned to the house
and went to bed with her boy, but
neither being able to sleep, subsequently
arose and cooked supper, which they
ate. All through the night they heard
means and appeals for help from the
father, who was still alive, but paid no
heed to them. In the morning a neigh
Dor came to the house to employ Kunz-
Ter, and found him lying on the ground
in pool of blsOd, although still alive,
while the woman was some distance
away unconeernedly engaged in her do
mestic work. When asked concerning
her husband she replied tina t he had
shot himself. Subsequently the coro-
ner was summoned from Lawrenceburg,
and the investigation showed that the
man could not have killed himself.
Suspicion was direct ed to the woman
and her boy. The latter when separated
from his mother, confessed that he had
done the deed at her command, saying
that she had been urging him TO do Il
for year pasb. He also told how they
spent the night in the hearing of the
cries OF his fathes, yet neither came 20
his assistance.

The Entry Of The Snow.

But soon all soft airs died. and from between
The east and north a strong wind blow full

For many day, and from the stecly sky
The sun deceptive let his arrows fly
On bank and brake, and without heat to fall
Fen gainst the gardens cleaning southern

Aud ,der still II blew, till oae bright morn
II lulled awhi upon the spreading tn irn;
The fed-fares bickered at the ruddy haw,
And loud the 6nches chirruped In the trees
While high DER all, in blne, thin columns broke
From the tall chimney-tops the palace smoke
All things shone crisp aud cjld, till from the
sea,
Between the east and north rose gradually
A great gray wOolly cloud, that grew and grew
yOluminaous till fro the ethdinblae
1t blotted out the sun ere evenings hour
And wrapt the ghostly garden, tree and bower.
Iu its thick folds obscure. Then from on high
TO earth slow spirAlng adow1 the sky,
The first great fe.thery snow flakes msds their
way,
Till a the garde changed from black 10 gray,
From gray to white. Then rose tlls wind again
From the fell north and growled against the
pane
Aud round the house and each successive blass
As the night fell grew stronger than the last,
Till, az the great whales gathered 10 a shoal,
In some far bay anear the shining pole,
Ganibol in thunder, while ths waite boil
Around them like the Maelstrom's whrling
coil,
And high to heaven tie sheeted foam-wreAtha

OF falling snow walled the Iivelong night,

Rose calm and clear, aud upward sprang The

And with Ills level beams serenely shono
On the soft snog:ro7e that lay white and rure

SIngular Case OF Heredity.

DR.. Rizzoli knew a young girl who
had long, thick lock of perfectly white
hair ON the forehead, the rest of the
hair being very pronounced black.
This anomaly had been congenital and
hereditary in the girls family for two
centuries. Whenever it existed in a
parent several OF the children were
certain to present it. The genealogical
tree of the family could be traced back
for six generations, including about
forty-tive persons, more than half Of
whom presented the white tuft. - Hedi-

MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4.

& MILLIONAIRE SERF.-The career Of u;
Gunzburg prince offnances and the favorite
banker Of the Russian colony in Paris, has been
brought TO 8 close by an attack of apople1y.
His family were serls in Southern Russia. ard
he began his life by hawking oranges in the
atreet When the Crimesn war broke out he
hung on the akirts of the Russian army, and ex-
tended his business to furnishing supplies 10
troops in the field. He displayed go much in
telligence ard zeal that he attracted The atten-
t!on of an officer CT rank, who took him under
HE protection, procured for him contracts for
rations for the men and fodder for the horsel
He found that it was easier to get money imam 8
reputation. and the more riches man acquired
the more envious enemies he made.
He could not get On at home, the Stigma OF
the serf was still attached to him, and ne went
to Paris, where hs opened large banking
house. He took splendid hotel IN the hue DC
Presbourg. and furnished it magnlfcently IN
the Russian STYLE ornamentlng his ante'chamber
with massive gold bedstead, which raised the
whole army Of satirists against him. DC aD-
nounced his intention Of giving splendid ball.
Invitations were issued, the best orchestra in
Paris WAS engaged, and Cheyet was given carte
blanche as far as eupper aid wines wero con-
cerned One thousand invitations had been
sent out, but only eleven persons had responded,
and when they went to the house and found the
gallons empty they made some excuse 10 get
away, fearing that their names might be rernoV-
ed from the list if they remined to represent the
absent ones. N. Gunzburg took the lesson to
heart, and was more fortunate among his own
colleagues in the financial world.
