How a Bird Was Identified.

The Saratogiam of Friday contains
this pleasant little story: "A lady visit
ing Walton-street residence few days
since was attracted to beautiful cana
ny bird by its close resemblance to one
she had lost last spring. She was in
formed that the songster had come to
them, they finding it one early morning
perched upon window-sill. The lady
stated that the bird had been taught
to perform the pretty little feat, when
given its liberty in room, of picking
up pin and sticking it in the carpet.
The cage door was opened and as the
canary flew forth the lady threw pin out
in the center of the floor The bird i'm
mediately flew down to where it lay,
caught it in its bill, dexterously stuck it
in perpendicular position in the carpet,
after which it hoped off a step or two
and warbled forth some of its sweetest
notes, as if in exultation of the feat it
had accomplished. TWAS her long-lost
songster."

Sequel to the Philadelphia "Trance'
Story.

There was no sermon delivered in Old
Swedes' Church yesterday upon the
death and coming to life of j. Harry
Schrack, nor did one of the scholars in
his Sunday-school class refer to the
wonderful vision that he saw in the
other world. People downtown, who
formerly spoke of the Schrack Of bur-
renee as a miracle, now denouncef the
entire affair as an admirably-executed
fraud, of which the hanging of Grape
from the door of 1913 Mary street, the
sending for an undertaken, and the an
nouncement in church of Schrack' S
death were part and parcel. The men,
bers of Old Swedes' Church, who, it now
appears, have been supporting Schrack
paying his rent and providing him
with money-during his supposed i'll
ness, have ceased their contributions.
Vestryman Morrison, who had provided
him with sick chair and dressing
gown, has taken those articles home
again. Schrack expected that the Rev.
Snyder b. Shines, of Old Swedes'
Church, would yesterday pay him a
visit and administer the communion, but
abe pastor did not appear. Schrack is

His Chief Anxiety.

Wednesday evening boy about eight
years old, who had become bewildered
downtown, and whose ear had been
nipped by the frost, was taken to the
Central Station to get thawed out and
cheered up. The men in charge talked
to him in a fatherly way, put liniment
ON his ear, and the boy seemed to be
full of grit. After time, however, the
big tears were observed rolling down
his cheeks, and the. Captain said:
"Why, bub, l would't feel bad. 1t
isn't much of frost-bite."
"But it shows, don't it?'' trembling
ly asked the lad.
"Why, yes, little bit; but wouldn't
care for that"
MAYBE you wouldn't!' gasped the
boy, "but you h'ain't engaged TOTO
be married as | am, and that makes a
big differencer'
They couldn't argue against that,
and the boy wept bitterly.-Detro1 Free

Secretary Sherman is gathering statistics

is said he proposes to enlarge upon the
question Of specie.resumption, but will not
urge any additional legislation to that end,
as he regards the question settled, and be-
fore such legislation could be had specie
payments would have been reached. In re-
gard to national banks, he will argue that
they will be in condition to cooperate
with the Government in carrying out exist

Of ample means to that end.

"The years OF 1919 and 1920 were Pc
Rod OF gloom and agony. No money
either gold or silver; no paper convertible
into specie; no measure or standard OF
value left remaining. The local banks, al
but those OF New England, after briet
resumption OF specie-payments, again sank
into state of suspension. The Bank Of
the United States created as a remedy iol
all these evils, now at the head OF TIC
evil, PROSTATE and helpless, with no power
left but that OF suing its debtors and selling
their property, and purchasing for itself al
its own nominal price. No price for pre-
perty or produce, no sales but those OF the
sheriff and the marshal; no purchasers al
the execution sales but the creditor or some
hoarder OF money; no employment for in

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY.
of the Richmond Dispatch


FARMy1LLE, Va, October 90, 1878.
Yesterday being Prince Edward County
Court-day, was the occasion OF the first pO-
itical discussion which has taken place in
this part Of the Fourth congressional dis
trict during the campaign. Hinton, Cole
man, and Berkeley ON the one side, and
Jorgensen, Hoxsey, and Van Auken on the
other, had respectively and apart their fol-
lowers and admirers. a joint discussion
could not be agreed on. Not 1.-THE OF the
enthusiasm of two years ago could be
aroused, and it is believed that, however
vigorously the party lash may be applied, a
full vote will not be polled on either side.
Hinton took occasion to denounce the
Petersburg Post and Virginia Patron, and
very satisfactorily cleared up the current
charges which have been brought against
him.
The court was employed all day in case
of larceny. The accused, under charges for
stealing chickens, was at one time militia
colonel OF considerable prominence in the
county. The jury brought in verdict OF
lunacy.
The Farmville Insurance and Banking
Company, which, on account OF unprece-
dentcd losses and difficulties has been COM
nelled to discontinue business, has about

ment made by handbills posted some week
or ten days ago that grand maSs-meeting
would be held at O'Clock p. NJ. punctually,
vast multitude. consisting OF three colored
persons who were accidentally on the place,
assembled, expectant, eager, and impatient
to hear the celebrated orators discuss the
great questions that agitate the public mind:
But, alas for human hopes, the town-bell
tolled in vain. The honorable gentlemen
declined gratifying them with speech, and;
with Responding looks, the audience turned
away unblessed with even the sight OF a
greenback quarter. Specie being the cur
rency, the honorable gentlemen declined
paying anything but absolute money. The
Greenback orators being satisfied with their
entire failure to draw 4 crowd ut this place,
left our village sadder but not wiser men
for our quiet sister village, Port Royal,
where they hope to have an opportunity to
blow out. DEMOCRAI.

lantrv upon the staff OF Ma!or.General
Pickett. His efficiency in this line OF duty
was on more than one occasion borne CRATE

and he emphasized his love Of country by
the reception OF several wounds. After our
disastrous surrender his love Of adventure
carried him to Egypt, where he served the

Thence DR.. Force wandered into South

cholera and other diseases endemic to that

who was a member of the corps OF yolun-
teer physicians of the Howard Association,
and lately 4 resident OF this place.
More than two months ago he left us for
Memphis, with high courage and indomita-
bic heart, for this gallant encounter with
almost certain death, and for many "days
OF labor and nights devoid OF ease" he trod
his noble way in our plague-stricken sister
city, holding as valueless his life in his
hands, and dispensing to rich and poor, old
and young, his professional skill and his
manly sympathy.

daily added to the long roll OF martyred
