CHARMING BIRDs.-We learn from n
correspondent that there resides in the
vicinity Of Harrisburg, an out.of.t the way
place, Hammock County, about three
miles west of Mount Blanchard, very
remarkable child, only five years old,
who seems to have the power to charm
birds at will. Her mother first noticed
this strange fascination that the child
possesses about year ago. The little
girl was out playing in the doorway
among bevy OF snow birds, and when
she would speak to them they would
come and light upon her, twittering with
the uttermost glec. On taking them in
her hands and stroking them, the birds,
instead of trying to get away from their
fair captive, seemed to be highly pleased
and when let loose would fly away @
short distance and Immediately return
to the child again. She then took sever
nj of them into the house to show her
mother, who, thinking that she might
hurt them, took the birds and put them
out, doors but no sooner was the door
opened than the birds few into the room
and lit upon the girls head and began to
chirp. The birds remained about the
premises all winter, flying to the little
girl whenever the door was opened. The
parents of this remarkable child became
alarmed, believing that this strange
power was an i'll omen, and that tho
| muchdreaded visitor, death, was about to
visit their home. But death did not
come, and during last summer the child
has had numerous pets from the birds.
The child handles inc birds so gently
that humming bird once in her hand
does not fail to return.
This winter bevy Of birds have kept
her company, and she plays with them
for hours at the time. Every morning
the birds fly TO her window, and leave
only when the sun sinks in the west.
There is nothing peculiar about the
| child's personal appearance except her
wonderful magnetic eyes, which sparkle
like diamonds.
The parents Of this little girl are poor,
| superstilious people, and have been re-
ticent about the matter until lately, fear
ing that some great calamity was about
to befall them.-T6rest, Ohio Revieio.

The Laws OF Rent, Again.

Mr. EDITOR: From past experience
as Trial Justice, am satisfied that no
better statute could be made for the adj
justment of rent and labor contracts than
the one adopted by the Legislature '72.
l believe, entitled, Gan act to protect
laborers, and for other purposes" I may
not be precisely correct in the title Of the
Act, but the practical operations of the
law were so simple, 80 effective, so quick,
and so cheap that thcre was nothing to
be added. Upon complaint of either
party, the Trial Justice was required to
go upon the farm, hear the caae, adjust
and mako all settlements between the
parties, including rents, divide the crops,
collect his costs; and thus in few hours
end the whole dispute. This is what the
landlord wants; this is what the renter
OF laborer wants.
Again, tits too true-and sorry I am TO
say it-that in the fall season when the
gathering of crops begin, then commen-
ces system of espionage on the one
part, and too often of trickery and de-
ception On the other, which is com pletely
destructive of all confidence between
landlords and tenants, and denioralizing
to the last degree upon the whole body
polite. Any legislation, no matter
seemingly how severe, that would cor
rect this great public Generalization,
should be hailed by both parties as a
god-send. An enactment making it a
fraud for any one to sell the produce off
farm, without paying the rent due on
that portion of the crop, would meet tho
csso and correct this great and growing
evil. The landlord would then feel en-
tirely secure in the forthcoming of his
rentals AS the crop is sold, and tho renter
would feel no sort of hesitation in selling
in any market or at any time within the
year, knowing that his only response
bility is to turn over to tho landlord his
proportional rent, or lay himself liable
to indictment for fraud. So, too, if tie
landlord should dispose of any part of
the crop, without accounting to the ten
ant for hig share of it, he should be
equally li4t,e to indictment. Under the
operation Of such wholesome law, con-
fdence would soon be restored between
these two classes, and this would be n
public Scca c: &c s:::;a:!! s:::;a:!!! magnitude magnitude.

TIE NEW LOUISIANA SENAroR.-Tbe
New Orleans Dcp,oc, at gives some ac-
count Of the antccedonts Of Hon. b. +.
Jonas, the new Senator from Louisiana.
The winner of the splendid prize is quite
n young man. He was born in Kentucky
in 1884 and came to New Orleans in 1859
graduated in law in the University of Lou.
isiana in the class of 49, and began the
practice ofhis profession in New Orleans in
partnership with the late Gov. Hyams,
with whom he was associated until the
lGtter's death. Mr.. Jonas soon made
himself prominent both at the bar and in
politics. lie was n co.operaticnist in 1861
but when Louisiana seeded he promptly
enlisted in her service and served through
the war, part of the time in Fenner's
Battery, and subsequently as Adjutant in
Hoods artillery corps. During the las;
ten or twelve years he has served the city
and State with distinction in several ca
pacities. In 1872 he was nominated by
the Democratic Convention for Lieuten.
ant Governor on the ticket headed by
Governor John McEnery. On the organ.
ization Of the fusion ticket Mr.. Jonas re-
tired from the ticket in favor of Col. D.
u. Penn, the choice of the Liberal wing
of the fusion. PIT he continued
throughout that eventful canvass one OF
the most eloquent and faithful cham
pions of the common ceuse. He was q
member of the House of Representa-
tivcs in 1866, and of the McEncrv
oenate in 1873. In 1876 he was again
elected 10 the House, and served during
the succeeding session, during Which he
was Chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee of that body. He was also City At
torney from 1874 to 1873 and in 1876
an active and able member of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
He is described by the Democrat as
being q non compromiser- "a straight

that as coon 90 he .akcs his scat III tii5

THE SENSATION OF HANGING

THE SENSATION OF HANGING.-A
man by the name of MCGEE, down in old
Kentucky, lately came near being
hanged hvv girgsilance committee &C. ::
murder which he did not commit, the
actual murderer being member Of the
xtra,judicial body. He has given an
elaborate account of the sensation which
attend that method of dying.
Being jerked up by the rope, there wss
no pain while he was ascending. He
then could feel his eyes suddenly turn in
to balls of fire and protrude from their
sockets; HIS muscles refused to respond
to his will. his joints felt as if pierced by
red-hot needles; his knees twiched and
jerked convulsively. Then came de-
iicions sensation of cool numbness
which began at the extremities and grad
unlly stole over him.
He lost all desire to save himself: in
fact, preferred to die then and there.
Almost every act of his life required to
his memory.
Ho heard distant roar, az of n far
away cataract; it become londer. and
finally almost deafening, then it changed
into The most delicious music; cServ-
thing was rs light rs mid day; then
followed unconsciousneSs he was him
himself and not ''imself; be seemed to
be sailing through space as bird seems
to iioat without moving wing.
Tho silence was terrible. Great bodi-
" pain then ensued, and when be came
to himself he found tho rope broken and
his execltioners disputing as to whether
he shnnld he s.:cag UP SgsiH of carried
to Jail.
The merciful plan prevailed; he was
locked np for three days; then he was
released, and the reai murderer took his
place. n
