Cook and Kearney.

After Joseph Cook, Denis Kearney;
not Dennis, or Dinnis, as he was prob
ably called in his boyhood days, before
he came here with that much-vaunted
suit of clothes and hypothetical hat full
of brains, but Denis, which is aristro-
cratic and French and suggestive of an
independence too broad to be limited
by the dictionary After Cook, Kear-
ney, and with likeness to Cook as
plain as it is unsuspected. The former
came to attack the Unitarians and the
scientific men, intellectual capitalists
and bleated bondholders of knowledge;
the latter to pull down honest wealth
patronized by the failing Orthodox
church, and the other by the Butler
party, and the oratory of the two men is
unlikeness Of the topics with which they
deal. Both shrek, and scream and
stamp, and barely fall short of dancing,
and both tell stories that have no refer
ence to the case in point. 1t is true
Joseph merely tears up his manuscript
intention underlying the act is similar.
Somebody says it was from Tom Fitch,
of Nevada, that he stole his little
eulogium of Butler, but nobody really
believes it. He saws himself that
speeches can be bought for two dollars
and half, and why therefore should
he steal? Moreover, even If Tom Fitch
| furnished these remarks about lesser
than Macbeth but greater, the fiery un-
conquerable Rupert, the chivalrous and
white-plumed Navarro (warwhoop) of
the rostrum," did Tom Fitch or any
body else but Joseph Cook ever inspire
anything like what ought, in a pure
American spirit, to be called the yawp
of Dionysius? "I walk the earth at
midday; find the vast expanse of the
blue heavens unrelieved with the
sparkle of single star. And yet know
that Mars still holds his course, that
Venus still whirls through space, and
that Jupiter and Uranus are flashing in
the confines of light, that the blazing,
bold Orion, and the bright and guiding
CLEAN of the North Star are all there,
and when the centrifugal force of ma
ture whirls us in the presence of night
we behold our companion worlds travel
ing in shining splendor upon theil
eternal rounds" This is Cook anG
nothing else, and Kearney ought, il
common justice, to acknowledge the
source of his inspiration. Why shoule
not he and Joseph 60 about togetbe
as twin orators shouting the battle or.
of freedom from the domination o
brains and capital? Any lecture bureau
would be glad to accept proposals from
such pair of attractions, and in a yea
they might scatter rebellion against in
tellect and capital all over the Union
Denis would not want any of the none
that they would earn, and Joseph, to d
him justice, is not stingy, SO that the
could make handsome contribution t
the A. B. G. F. NJ. and the Labor Re
form party, and benefit the heathe
abroad, and the incapables at home
Decidedly, they ought to go, and th
sooner the better" Stephenson" 1

A Birds Wing.
[St. Nicholas for September. ]


Did you ever look at a birds wing
carefully, and try to find out from it the
way in which it is used? People usually
suppose, either that bird flies because
it is lighter than the air, like balloon,
or that it rows itself along as boat is
rowed through the water. Neither of
these suppositions is true. A bird is
not lighter than the air, and does not
float; for when a bird is shot on the
wing it falls to the ground just as
quickly as a squirrel. On the contrary,
bird flies by its own weight, and could
not fly at all if it were not heavier than
the air.
X 4 4 = K
Look at quill-feather, and you will
see that, on each side of the central
shaft or quill, there is broad, thin por-
ton, which is called the vane. The vane
on one side of the shaft is quite broad
and flexible, while that on the other
side is narrow and stiff; and by looking
at a wing with the feathers in their
places, you will find that they are
placed so that they overlap little, like
the Stats on window-blind. Each broad
vane runs under the narrow vane of the
feather beside it, so that, when the wing
D
is moved downward each feather il
pressed up against the stiff narrow vane
of the one beside it, and the whole wing
forms solid sheet like blind with the
Stats closed. After the down-stroke il
finished and the up-stroke begins, the
pressure is taken off from the lower sur
face of the wing, and begins to act or
the upper surface and to press tn,
feathers downward instead of upward
The broad vanes now have nothing t.
support them, and they bend down ant
allow the air to pass through the wing
which is now like blind with the slat
open. By these two contrivances,-th
shape of the wing, and the shape ant
arrangement of the feathers,-the winI
resists the air on its down-stroke ant
raises the bird little at each flap, bu
at each up-stroke allows the air to slid
off at the sides. and to pass through be
tween the feathers, so that nothing
lost.

Bijah's Hour.
IDetroit Free Press

An old woman she came singing,
In her voice sadness bringing
In her voice q sad reminder
Of the long, long ago;
Her face was sad and dreary,
And her look it was aweary-
The falling tears did blind her
As she made 'kerchy " low.
"Come in, aunty, and tell me all
about it," said Bijah, as he laid aside
his book on the care and treatment of
old hens.
Pm but an old woman, cared for by
nobody" she replied, as she sank into
chair. GIVE been told that you were
everybody's friend, and Eve come for a
bit of a talk"
"Give me your story, aunty. If any
one has wronged you Pll send the mer-
curry up to five hundred degrees in the
shade for 'em"

tinued =" 1 bought ten yards, at six cents

That's sixty cents, aunty. You
didn't care for full skirt CT a trail, I
see. Well, you had it made Princess
style, I suppose?'
"1 don't know what the style was,
sir. A neighbor woman agreed to make
it for dollar, but when it was finished
she said two dollars was the price, and
she's holding it until will pay. Think,
sir, of charging two dollars for making
dress which cost only sixty cents at
the storew
"Monstrous-outrageo diabolical
-fendish" gasped Bijah.
Eve got the dollar, sir" she said as
she unfo1ded a poor, old greenback,
"but couldn't save another in three
months if my life depended on it. What
am I to do7''
"Look right in my left eye nowr'
said the old man as he squared around
little more. "Be here at nine O'Clock

She promised to come, and she stepped
off like girl as she passed out, while
Bijah leaned back and growled to him
