MrWallaee, the distinguished natural
list, writes III the fodHi0tHg Rt9ar rs
follows;
The hummiug birds form one COM
pact family named Trochlidw. They
are small birds, the largest known being
about the size of u swallow, while the
smallest are minute creatures whose
bodies are hardly larger than Il humble
bee. Their distinguishing features are
excessively short legs and feet, very
long and pointed wings, long and
slender bill, and u long, oNt,nSible tubn-
lar tongue; and these characteristics
aro found combined in no other birds.
Tho feet are exceedingly small and dol
cu,c, often beautifully tufled with down,
and So short MS to hc hardly visible be-
You'd the pllmagc, The toes are placed
rs in most birds, three in front and one
behind, and have very strong and
sharply curved claws, and the feet serve
probably to cling To their perch rather
than TO support the weight Of the body.
The wings nrc long md narrow, hut
strongly formed, and the first quill is
the longest, n peculiarly found in hardly
any other birds but few or the swift
The bill varies greatly in length, but Is
always long, slender aud pointed, the
upper maudiblc being the widest and
tapping over the lower ut cnch side

very long, and is capable of being
greatly extended beyond the bcak and
rapidly drawn back by means of mus
clos which are attached to the hyoid or
tongue homes, and bend round over the
back and top of the head TO the very
forehead Just ns in tho woodpeckcr's.
The TWO blades or lamnm of which the
tongues Of birds usually seem to he
formed, are here greatly lcngthoncd,
broadcnCd out, and each rolled up, SO ms
to form n complete double tube, con-
nected down the middle, and with the
outer edges in contact, but not united.
The extrcmtics of the tubes are, how
ever, fiat and iihrous. This tubular and
retractlo tongue enables the bird to
suck up honey from the hectares OF
flowers, aud nlso to capture small in
sects but whether the latter pass down
the tubes or are cntanglcd in the iihrous
tips, and thus drawn bnck into the gul-
let, is not known. The only other
birds with tubular tongue are the
sun-birds Of the East, which, however,
have no affinity whatever with the

VEToING THE SILVER BILL.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
WARRINGTON, ID. c.. Feb, ~, IS,


To the House Of Representatives.
After very careful consideration Of
house bill 1893, entitled an act to au-
thorize the coinage of the silver dollar
and to restore its legal tender charac-
ter" | feel compelled to return it to the

yer as one of the two precious metals
which furnish the coinage Of the world,
and that legislation which looks to the

value will permit would be neither un.
Just nor inexpedient. II has been my

this bill does not meet these essential
requirements that feel it my duty to
withhold from it my approval. My

mts only an attention to the specific
objects Of the bill for which, it seems to
me, the constitution has provided. The

Last Thursday evening the con-

put off a number of tramps upon his
arrival at Centralia. The tramps show
ed fight, and being reinforced by
about fifteen tramps who were loafng
about the depot, the gang undertook
to capture the train, fiourishing
knives, pieces of iron and other wea-
pons. The conductor, whose nam
is Clark, drew q revolver and backed
between two box cars, he held the
rufians in check until reinforced by
the train hands and q number of our
citizens, when the tramps sullenly
fell back, but as the conductor climb
ed on top of the freight cars and sig
nailed the engineer to pull out, the
tramps made q rush for the cars and
tried to get on, but the conductor
threatened to shoot the first man who
boarded the train, and it was only by
keeping them covered with his re-
volver until the train left the depot,
that he succeeded in Keeping them
of. 1t was the most determined and
desperate looking gang Of .ramps that

JUSTICE.

Last week we published m article
by .Justice" in regard to DIR. Craw-

ty road running through his farm in
section FIVE, township two, range
eight, west half.
Now, we have had 3 conversation
with the Doctor, when we find TO be
o most excellent gentleman, respect
ed by all who know him and whose
record as 3 law abiding citizen is I'M
improbable. We knew nothing OF
the. facts last week at all, but find on
Investigation that the Doctor has Civ
en- a forty foot road, all the law re-
quires at that place. As all oul
readers know the law calls for differ.
ent widths at different places,
from 80 to 60 feet and at this place
only 40 feet Is required. .
During this winter the roads have
been very bad, as you all know, and
the lane through Crowford's plact
was very muddy, but nearly every.
body pulled down the Doctors fence
and went through his fields without
dissenting voice from him. We fail
to appreciate the point Justice VA
trying to establish, with the light VI
have on the matter.
