The Social Weaver.

The social weaving-bird of the Orange
River region OF southern Africa is too re-
markable a mem Der of tins family to be
passed unnoticcd, though It's extraordinary
structure has often been described by
African travellers. 1t not only builds in
comN"nics, as do most of the family, but
al ssociatcs in colonies of many in
d. Who construct their nests under
acc oof of their own building.
Wh.l 4 these structures Is first begun
In the 50 vctcd place, the community lm-
mcdatcly proceed to construct together
the general covering which is to shelter the
wall This thatch is made of a coarse
strong fiber of Bushman's grass. This
being completed, each pair begin to form
their own separate nest, Of tho same
material rs the roof. The nests arc placed
close together, side by side against the
under surface Of tho general covering, and
when all arc completed, the lower surface
exhibits an even horizontal ceiling, per-
forated with small circular openings. With
each breeding season, fresh nests are
formed upon the lower surface of those of
the preceding year. In this manner, year
after year they add to the mass, until at
last its excessive weight causes the destruc-
ton Of the whole, and a new site has to be
chosen. The roof is usually firmly inter-
woven with tho branches of a large tree,
and often the principal limbs are included
within Its substance.

Gentlemen of leisure who live in Nevada
will be glad to know the fashions for 1880.
1t will be q gross breach of politcness to
shoot at anybody further off than six feet.
and If he falls at the first fire 1t is dc rigeur
that you should walk up to the party and
put at least eight more bullets in his carcass

two moro revolvers, but that cannot be
helped. Fashion at times lays heavy bur-
dcns on It's votarics. The knife is no longer
used in polite circles, and the correct thing
to do after the occurrence is to Immediately
give yourself up to the police, and send a
letter of coincidence to the nearest relatives
of the deceased. 1t is not usual to go to
the funeral, unless 1t happens to be your
own, In which case 1t is in bad taste to
either stay away ortake an active part in
the proceedings.

Tho story OF II Isrlgnnd.

Another band of brigands has been Or
ganizcd in the vicinity of Palermo. It's
chief, one Olivia was a brigadier of carbi-
ncers, originally from the Romagna, who
served in the district of Tcrmini Imcrcsc,
and worked incessantly with Inspector Luc-
chest for the capture of the notorious Con-
dottierc Leone. His activity and sagacity
were such that Leone must inevitably have
fallen into his hands; but unluckily for him
and his claim to the prize money which had
been set on Lconc's head, it happened that
on the very day OF Lconcs being shot he
was absent on other duty. His comrades
affected much regret at his having missed
his share of the glory and its reward, but
churlishly dcmurred to his request for some
recognition Of his services, much greater as
these were than other services which had
been handsomely rccompenscd. The un-
kindest cut Of all to him was, however,
his seeing promoted to the rank of Sergeant,
two comrades of his who had contributed
infinitely less than he to the hcmming in
and the Staying of Leone. lie repaired to
Palermo, and demanded justice, but ho re-
ccivcd no satisfaction; on the contrary, lie
wns treated with discoultcsy, and even
threatened with disciplinary punishment
Stung with resentment, he deserted his
corps and took to the hills, with the sreso-
luton of becoming br'igand. He was not
long in finding other dcsertcrs and outlaws
likc-minded with himself, and these he
formed into band which has already
given proof of its marauding efficiency I'M
der his leadership. His knowledge of the
country, acquired in the service which 80
badly rcquitcd him, is even greater than
that of his pursuers, and the Palermo pap.
crs predict that unless a stray shot puts an
end to him, he will rival the bold aggrcs-
sivcness, and the cvasive dcxtcrity of Di
Pasquale, Capraro, or Leone.

The feeling among many ofthe representatives
