The Bird of Paradise,

The Jardin d'Acclimatation, Paris, has
Just received some living specimens of
the bird of paradise, which it has hith-
erto been found rarely possible to bring
alive to Europe. This bird is a native
of New Guinea, the inhabitants of
which country endeavor to keep up the
fable relative to these specimens of the
feathered tribe, by persuading the In
dian 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
encouraged by the form given by the
Papuan naturalists or dealers to prepare
them for sale, by drying the bird with
its plume after taking out the inside and
tearing off the legs. 1t is rarely found
excepting in the countries which pro-
duce spices, and particularly in Austria
liza. New Guinea, whichis 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 immens forests,
and supply their principal food. The
Papuans, barbarians as they are, derive

bird, and take it with nets or sticks
smeared with birdlime. In the latter
case they take it alive, but as it is very
difficult to preserve, they prefer 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 forks Of
the branches, and at %daybreak shoot al
the birds while they are still asleep
with very light arrows made from the
ribs Of leaves of the palm-tree. Theil
address is so marvellous that the biro
generally falls to the ground intact
stunned rather than wounded. The
men continue as long as they can, ant
then descend to the ground and proceed
to the preparation and embalming thei,
victims. The Malays, of Malacca, ART

they carry to the Molucca Isles, whence

The Pillared Rocks Of Colorado.
National Repository


The buttes, composed of gypsiferous
strata, are of many hues, from light
gray to slate, then pink, purple, and
brown. The morning sun shines in
splendor on the painted faces of orange
and vermilion sandstone masses, the
silent angles on fire, the re-entering
angles buried in warm shadows. At a
distance, cliff escarpments of this sand
stone appear as long banks of purple
clouds piled high into the heavens. The
cause Of this scenic element is undenia-
bly, the result of erosion; indeed, the
whole of the Colorado plateau is justly
regarded as the most magnificent ex-
ample on the face of the earth of how
much the land may have its features
altered by the agency Of running water.
Biologists have demonstrated that the
entire basin was once covered by a ON
tinuous sheet of soft middle and upper
~cretaceous shales, of which scattered
mounds, and millions of loose fossils re-
main, the surfaces between being firm
lower cretaceous sandstone, or still older
rocks. There is no doubt that, previous
to the erosion of the gorges, the table
land was buried under two Thousand
feet of soft strata, all of which lras been
carried away except these fragrnentary
relics, which being of a harder compo'
sition than that surrounding, or of vol.
canic formation, have obstinately re.
sisted denudation. The climatic condi.
tions are such that the rocks are swep,
down as fast as disintegrated, which
gives the harder rock an unusal advan'
tage in withstanding erosion; and cliffs
isolated buttes, are the natural result
The scenery of this description is very
similar to that in the noted Garden Of
the Gods" near Denver.

Golden Rules,

The person who first sent these rules

Death in his FavorIte Robe

The mortuary statistics of the whole civil.
lied world show that about one-ffth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
a greater ratio to the whole number than
that of any other three diseases together.
Moreover, investigation proves that this
ratio is steadily increasing. Its increasing
prevalence has led to the popular belief that
consumption is in%curable. Every year hun
dreds of these sufferers seek, in the sunny re-
treats of Florida or the dry atmosphere OF
Colorado, for health-and find only a grave.

remedial agent that either Florida or Colo.

Senator's Wives.

One of the galaxy of female cores
pondents writes from Washington: The
wife of Senator Eustis is a Kentuckian
by immediate descent, if not by birth.
She has, however, lived nearly all her
life in New Orleans. She does not, 1
hear intend comingIoW Washington.
Senator Eustis's brother, who married
the daughter of Mrs. w. w. Corcoran,
died in France several years ago. His
wife, who preceded him to the grave,
died as did his mother, of consumption.
Mr.. Corcoran's wife was only twenty
one when she died, and her daughter
about twenty-seven. Both were named
Louise, and the "Home for Impover-
ished Gentlewomen," which Mr.. Cocoran
has founded here, is a memorial to his
wife and daughter and bears their name.
Since their parents death Miss Eustis
has had charge of her brothers children
and has resided at Mr.. Corcoran's house
in this city.
The wife of the millionaire senator of
Gold Hill, Nevada, is both young and
handsome, and on the rare occasion
when she has appeared in public since
her marriage, four years ago, has worn
the most elegant toilets and superb
diamonds of any lady whose husband
sits in the national legislature. Since
the birth of her baby, three years ago,
Mrs. Jones's health has not been good,
and she has seldom gone to soirees or
entertained at home. She is now at her
husbands beautiful residence Oh Capitol
Hill, whose northern windows command
a view of the house wing of the capitol,
and the western windows look upon the
city, the river, and Arlington Heights
an unsurpassed prospect.
Mrs. Allison has the charms of youth,
a pretty face, and pleasant manners.
She has been married only about four
years to the senator from Iowa,
Senators Christiancy and HEREFORD
also have young wives. Of the former
it isscarcely necessary to speak specially
since her name has been 81 frequently
mentioned in print since her marriage,
not quite two years ago. She is attrac'
tive in appearance and modest in mac.
ner. Mrs. Hereford has been married
only five years, and did not appear much
in society in Washington while her hus
band was a member of the house.
Among the daughters of senators who
are most frequently seen at our gay
assemblages are Miss Herman, Mis-:
Bayardr and Miss Cameron, all three Of
whom may be reckoned among the belle:
of Washington. Miss Cameron is ::
stately looking girl, whose dignifiec
bearing would lead one to credit he
with more years than she can justly
claim. She has had the responsibilit!
of being the mistress of her father
household since she left school, and i
not yet more than twenty years old, i
so much.

Figaro protesting against the expulsion of
Don Carlos, and repudiating the accusation
that she was c~onspiring with him against
King Alfonso. The Times correspondent
ssys it is rumored that the Spanish Govern
ment is likely to take very serious steps to
mark its displeasure at Isabella's conduct.
A cable dispatch to the Cincinnati Com
mercial under date of London, Saturday
night. says: The so-called anti Russian
demonstration on Trafalgar Square was
a total failure. There were, perhaps,
ten thousand persons present, but the pre-
vailing spirit was curiosity. British and
Turkish flags were carried by the organ
izers of the meeting, and nearly all were de-
stroyed by the opponents of the warlike pol
icy. In like manner a flag inscribed
"Peace" was destroyed. All went off with
great good humor, however. No Speakers
of any note were present, and the whole af-
fair was a grand lark for the workingmen.
The capture of Pierot by the Servians is
confirmed. Pierot is strongly fortified, and
was taken after four days hard fighting.
The Servians have been trying to bring on a
regular siege of Widdin, which is we'll pro-
visioned. Its garrison is weak, however,
and its capture is expected within two weeks
at the farthest.
A correspondent at Vienna says Lord
Derby has sent a note to Count Andrassy,
expressing hope that, in view of the desire
of Europe for peace, other powers will
assist as much as possible England's steps in
favor of mediation. The following is stated
20 he {ha favf of Enr1onJ dc ,ota 70 p,coio {.
"Her Majesty's government begs to inform
the Emperor that the Porte is ready to open
peace negotiations. The Emperor's wisdom
and repeatedly expressed love of peace
justify her Majesty's government in the
hope that he will lend a favorable ear to the
Sultan's request" 1t is said that Russia has
already replied to England's note that if the
Turks desire an armistice, they must apply
direct to the Russian Commander in Chief.
A Paris correspondent also says he has
reason to believe Prince Gortchakoff has de-
clared that Turkey must know that Russia
has always been ready to listen to proposals
of peace, and that the presentation of peace
proposals by an Intermediary appears I'M
necessary. The correspondent adds that a
telegram conveying the above information
seems also to convey an intimation of readi-
ness to accept an armistice.
The London Advertiser hears, on reliable
authority, that official information has been
received in st. Petersburg that the Chinese
have massacred fifteen thousand men,
women and children at the Kashgarian
town of Manas, committing the most fright
full atrocities.

Marian Plays With a Princess

Marian Plays With a Princess.-It
was in Vienna that Marian played with
a princess, and a glorious time they had
of it.
We went to see the Lichenstein gal
lery, in the great imposing Lichensteln
Palace, that shows its front to a lovely
smiling flower garden, and turns its back
on a very pompous park.
Now Marian doesn't care for pictures,
at least such pictures as we were going
to see. She has a copy of Mother
Goose" and "Alice in Wonderland
that she thinks more of than all the
galleries in the world; these books are
all ablaze with pictures, and she knows
every picture by heart, and all about it
Marian didn't like to see these pictures
so she begged us to leave her outside il
the garden.

"Or get stones in your shoes, OF lost

Marian promised she wouldn't do any
of these things, but would be as good al
candy, if we'd only let her stay ant
play in the garden while We went in
side.
So we let her stay.
We had only left her a few moment
when Marian saw, on the other side O.
the garden, a very pretty little girl, whit
was with a very be-yew-ti-ful young lady
and a maid servant with a cap, and be
hind them all a man servant with a vel

it was wrapped in flames, and the children
burned to a crisp. The mother frantically
attempted to rIsh into the flames, but was
forcibly prevented. The foggy morning had

two wells or springs from which a fine
sample of crude lubricating oil is taken al

parties have already taken up squatter's
