BIRDS IN THE ROCKY MoUNTAINs-In the
mountains there are great many little birds
which are deserving of some notice, as they give
life to the landscapes and are interesting in
their habits. A gentleman up here has MADE a
discovery in regard to the habits of swallo VS.
which is very Interesting, to say the least of it,
The male and female make nest in some shell
tered place, where they raise little brood
taking all the care of them imaginable. After
they are grown up and are able TO take care OF
themselves the mother lays some more eggs
and when they are Matched out both faTner
mother and the older brothers and sisters all
engage III supplying the little ones with food
This is a most singular fact and has never be-
fore been noticed, so far as known. The young
birds that are able to fly about engage in the
hunt for grasshoppers, moths, ec., which they
carry to their little brothers and sisters in their
nests, feeding them with as much care as If
they were, in fact their parents In the hot
weather the tiny swallows are almost sweltered
with heat, and lie in their hot nests painting
and unhappy until they get large enough to 60
out In the world and do something for them
selves. They must be supplied with water in
some way by the old birds, who probably bring
1t to them In their b1lls.-[ Wyoming Letter.

AN OLD CUsroN-Therr is n curious old
custom KEEP: up III the United States Senate
Chamber. On each side of the Wee Presi-
dents seat are fastened two old snuff boxes
They are the result Of a custom inaugurated
almost at the foundation Of the Government
when snDtf taking was a universal habit
Thurman is the only Senator who makes u
habit of using snuff. hut sometimes Senator
will take a pinch, while the many visitors to
the Chamber take little out of curiosity. Al
first the box WAS kept on the Vice Presidents
desk, but in those days so many of the Sena
tors used the article, and so frequently forgot
to bring their boxes with them, that it was re-
solved to place two public receptacles for it,
and IN the annual expenses of the Senate is
alwayJ fouud the item Of snuff -Exchaage.

To the People of Michigan: An eminent cit
izen haa been suddenly taken from us. Zach
ariah Chandler was found dead in his room at
the Grand Central Hotel in Chicago early this
morning For nineteen years he has repre-
sented this State in the national Senate. He
held this exalted position at the most perilous
period in the history of the nation, and unfal-
teringy supported every measure for the
maintenance of the Union. A member of the
Cabinet under the recent administration Of
Gen. Grant, he proved himself public officer
of keen sagaclty, of incorruptible Integrity and
of admirable ability. A resident Of Michigan
during the whole period Of MS manhood, he
has been active in advancing the Interests Of
the State and promoting its growth. BY his
energy he secured competence, and by his IN
tegrity the confidence Of all. Taken from us
so unexpectedly, we cannot bnt deeply feel
and deplore his lose. ! therefore, az tribute
to his melnory, hereby direct the several STATE
offices to be closed to public business, the flags
to be displayed at half mast, and other dem,
onstrations of public grief usual, to be made
on the day of his funeral.
