MIR. Voorhees, saw this was bad wit
ness. He knew something about the
exodus; this was just what Voorhees,
didn't want. He had facts, and these
were just what Voorhees, was trying to
avoid. He told the truth, and this en-
barrassed Mr.. Voorhees, very much.
The Tall Sycamore tried to confuse the
witness, but he didn't confuse worth q
cent. He showed that he knew a great
deal more about the matter than the
7. 8. did. and was disposed to be truth
full besides, which gave him great ad-
vantage over the T. S. The more he
was examined the more he clinched his
testimony. The three witnesses above
referred to, Dukehart, agent of the Bal
timore & Ohio Road; Holland, member
OF the Washington Emigrant Aid So
ciety, and Perry, the North Carolina
colored man, are the only witnesses vet
examined who have thrown any light
on the exodus. The other witnesses,
like Judge Carleton, Adjutant-G General
Russ, Prosecuting-Attorney Hackney,
and thirty or forty others, knew nothing
about it. The mistake of Voorhees, was
in permitting any witness to get before
the committee who did know anything
about it. This shows him to be bad
engineer, an unsafe party manager. He
ought to have had sense enough to
know that the object of a Democratic
investigation is to avoid the truth, and
that facts are rs dangerous to such
bark as that he is now steering as snaos
are to a fiatboat on the Wabash.-ila-'

The African Honey Bird.

The honey bird is about as large as
gray mocking bird and similar in
color. It endeavors to attract the at
tention of travellers and to induce them
to follow it. When it succeeds thus
far, it almost invariably leads the per-
son who follows to q nest of wild bees.
While on the route it keeps up an in
cessant twittering, as If to assure its
follower of success, and often alights
on the ground or bush and looks back
to see if the person is still in pursuit.
The native Africans, when conducted
by the bird, frequently answers its
twittering with whistle as they pro-
ceed, for the purposeof signifying their
conductor that they are still following.
When the bird arrives at the hollow
tree or other place where the honey is
deposited, it hovers over the spot,
points to the deposit with its bill and
perches on q aneighboring bush or tree
to. await its share of the plumber. This
is the usual termination of the adven-
ture. But sometimes the honey bird
seems TO be actuated by q love of mis-
chief, and then instead of leading the
traveller to q bees nest it conducts him
to the lair of some wild beast, and then
flies away with a twittering which
sounds good deal like laughter.
Gordon Cumming, '.the lion killer"

Quoted him to. the retreat Of huge

traveller to his august presence, the lit

evidently much delighted with the sue
