The Domestic CANARY.-The pride of ma
ternity and paternity is found in all condi-
tions of nature. Yesterday We noticed com
motion in bird cage. An egg had been laio
and the little yellow mother and the orange.
colored father were in lively state of excite
ment The mother announced its success a,
the nest by series of exultant chirps and
twitters which seemed to say, "This way
every body, I'm the boss" The male bird
hoped up On the edge of the nest and made
a critical survey of the egg. Reaching down
claw it attempted to turn it over, but the
moment it did SO the mother put her shoul
der against the intruder and crowded him
away with scolding which could not be mis-
| taken. After that the female would not al
low the other to approach the nest except
when he was called. She began to set md
whenever the other came too near she drove
him away, as much as to say, ''You don't be-
long to this SET" The male was then obliged
to serve the female with her meals, which she
demanded with astonishing regularity. Last
evening the male bird was not as prompt as
he might have been with tea, and the other
leaving her nest drove him about the cage,
picking him until the feathers few in every
direction. 1t was very suggestive, and young
man who was calling at the house with his girl
heaved deep sigh at the sight and walked
away with the air of one who had acquired
glimpse of futurity. A clerl lyman standing
near by watched the birds also aud seemed to
acquire dislike for the canaries, as if he felt
that the vindictiveness of the mother of that
egg had cheated him of fee.
ANYTHING FOR PEACE The Carson Valley
Ne,us announces tina. the APPEAL no longer
exchanges with it. Some months ago the AP
PEAL loosely remarked that the people Of this
city put salt cellars at the front gates as a re-
ceptacle for the News. The next thing We |
knew the Neeus editor wrote to the APPEAL
office asking US to send our bill and stop the |
paper. We sent no bill, as We are not in the |
habit of charging editors for the APPEAL, and |
discontinued the paper As requested. When
ever the editor of the Nc,cs wants tho APPEAL
sent him he has but to make his want known
anu Wo Will CnooEIuNy pus A'iA VA wi Ao''
If it would please him any more to have US
nail a dry goods box to onr door post instead
Of salt cellar for the Nc,os to be- thrown into
We will gladly make the change, as we like
the Ne,us and desire to be OH good terms with
It.
