The Wren and it's Pugnacity,

The Village Record tells us of per-
son in that borough who, in order to
prevent the house-sparrow from dis.
tnrbing box put up for the wren, had
the hole made so small that only the
wren could get in. Now, if Mr.. Gar
rett, who did this thing, possessed a
little more knowledge Of the habits of
this bird, he would have known that
however large the hole inthe box may
be occupied by the wren, it is reduced
by the building of the nest to such di-
minutlve dimensions that no larger
bird can enter. He would also have
known one or two other characteristics,
to wit; that the wren is the most pug.
nacious of all other domestic birds ex-
crpt the kingbird; that it is to much for
the house-sparrow; and that it is the
open enemy Of the blue bird, which
rarely ventures to occupy box in the
same garden. On our own premises
the blue-bird, which formerly was nu-
merous, does not occupy any of our
boxes. The last one that did SO was
driven clear out of the premises. The
wren attacked it on its own dunghill,
finally drove it way from its box in
which was its nest of eggs, and then
deliberately set to work and hrev out
The eygs.' This we saw with our own
eyes. The following spring til. blue
bird made its appearance, but the wren
being on the alert it did not venture to
make lodgTent. Here, that is upon
our own prenis s--the house sparrow
lives peacefully with other birds. We
have the first time yet to see any at
tempt to show helIg-rent propensity
towards them. m.--''Gernantown Tele-

Deserted Towns.

There are deserted towns in Ne
vada, but they are not old ones. A
few years ago the population of Hamil-
ton is said to have been nearly 5000;
of Treasure Hill, ,G00o; Of Shermantown,
5000; of Swansea, 5000. All were in
corporated, with Mayor, Council, fire
departments and daily newspapers.
Hamilton has now about 100 inhahi-
tants, most of whom are merely waiting
in dreary inaction for something to turn
up. Treasure Hill has about half as
many, Shermautown one family, and
Swansea none. In one canon Of The
Toyabe range, near Austin, are five
dead towns without single inhabitant.
The streets and blocks graded on the
hillsides are rapidly falling back into
the wilderness.

sDutch John" and his Tr0sbles.

Last evening, before His Honor, the
trials of those persons arrested by the
police in their raid over Market street
bridge yesterday morning, as mention
ed in the REPUBLICAN Of yesterday, came
up for trial. 1t will bs remembered
that the arrest was made on complaint
of John Kohle.man, who was severely
assaulted by James Darragh. James
was placed in the dock. John, who
was the individual who saw the mur-
dered man Demby lying in the road, is
a part owner in the McManus establish
ment. He was called but being una BILE
to speak English his evidence was in
terpreted by officer Boster. He stated
that while making fire in the saloon
Darragh came in and began using
offensive language. John couldn't
stand this and he began to launch out
the most emphatic dutch against the
offender. OF course James couldn t
understand. and Judging from the man
n-r which James sawed the air with
his fists he thought it couldn't be very
complimentary and SO he went for John
on general prinoiples.' Thinking
the evidence sufficient DarragL was

Army Appropriation bill was reported,
without amendment. and placed on the
calendar. Mr.. Bsyard's resolution call.
ing for information as to the moneys
paid John !. Davenport since 1870 for
election purposes, was agreed to. Mr..
Bayard introduced a bill repeating the
Jurors test oath. On an objection by
Mr.. Edmunds, 1t was referred to the
Judiciary Committee. The New Hamp-
shire question was discussed, pending
which the Senate adjourned.
In the House, after some discussion,
motion that the floor be awarded in
COMMITTEES of the Whole in accordance
with the rules, and not with any list of
speakers formed by the Chairman, was
referred to the Committee on Rules.
The Legislative Appropriation bill was
considered In COMMITTEES Of the Whole.
After disposing Of 20 pages, the House
adjourned.
The House, in Committee Of the
Whole, took up the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial appropriation bill
and disposed OF nearly one-half of it
without making any amendments
The bill, as introduced by Mr.. Atkins,
is in the form at which it was left by
the conference committee Of the last
Congress. Those differences between
the two Houses which were harmonized
by the conference committee have been
adopted in the present bill, but in the
few instances, including the political
amendments, where the conferees were
unable to agree, the phrassology and
amendments are retained as passed by
the House.
The total amount appropriated BY
the pending bill is 1877, 900, which
is about 81, 100000 in excess OF the
amount appropriated for like purposes
for the current fiscal year. No new
matter is introduced in the pending
bill, and az the House at the last ses.
sion Of Congress agreed upon the va
rious sums named therein, the money
portion OF 1t will doubtless be adopted
without material alteration.
1t was agreed that the political sec

when reached, as was done in the case
Of the Army bill, and that, after the
money portion Of It is completed, the
political sections shall be taken up aud

| Mr.. Jefferson appeared in Washing
ton last week before densely-packe
and critical audiences. The enthusiasm
which greeted Mr.. Jefferson was i'm
mense; every evening his entrance was
received with bursts Of applause, pro.
longed and sustained with fervor that
seemed to be inexhaustible. As Rip
Van Winkls, Mr.. Jetferson's demeanor
and bearing throughout were perfect,
and in the scenes in which strong feel
ing has to be rendered no look, gesture,
or syllable, or infection was wasted or
out OF place. A droop of the voice told a
whole story of passion, and the utter
ance Of simple goodbye conveys the
history of life struggle. Rip Van
Winkle is neither clsver caricature for
the amusement of an hour, nor a kind
OF theatrical nightmare, the likeness of
which is not to be found in the human
family. 1t abouuds in "touches of ma
turs," and Mr.. Jefferson's rendition is
50 perfectly natural that the feeli ings
Of the audience go with him in the So.
rious situations. Those who one moment
echo the denunciations OF the deceived
and almost heart-broken wite, and be-
gin to despise the irreclaimable drunk
ard who sacrifices hsme and family 20
his selfshness, lind their sentiments
rapidly changing when weak and
broken-spirited, Rip turns from his
door and goes forth in the storm. This
is made by Mr.. Jefferson one of the
most powerful situations in the drama.
The utter detection Of the sobered
drunkard, and his crushing misery at
being banished from his home, is q
piece Of acting which has been rarely
equalled for true pathetic quality.
Mr.. Jefferson appears in Wilmington
on Saturday evening, April 18th, for
the last time. He will be supported by
the same company that acted with him
SO satisfactorily in Washington and are
now playing to crowded houses in
Brooklyn; and We advise all our readers
to avail themselves Of this last oppor-
tunity Of witnessing one Of the finest
pieces Of acting the modern stage has
witnessed. We notice with pleasure
that Manager Ford will maintain the
