with glass doors, capable of holding from
1900 to 5000 specimens each.
Among the specimens are gold and
silver from all parts of the world; mete-
oric stones and iron; beautiful specimens
of crystals, quartz, amethysts, beryl,
Amazon-stones, &c. One of the ANA
zon-stone is nearly six inches in diameter.
Various relics from different parts of the
world fill one case, among which are a
mummy hand from Egypt, stone axes
from the mounds at the West tomahawks
from Vermont, and several pieces Of
guns, rusted through and through, found
on the meadows Of Concord, and various
images and gods, worshiped by the natives
in India. In the large ease Of birds are
an Arctic bird called the large gray owl,
some rare snow owls, and splendid
golden eagle, together with most Of the
birds found in New Engand.
Among his birds nests we notice two
large hawks nests, one Of which when
found was three feet in diameter and
four feet in depth. There are also
numerous nests lined with hair, with
wool, with moss, with grass, and the
humming-bird's with down from the
milk-weed. A black woodchuck, mink,
and various squirrels keep guard over
the birds in this case. On top there is
tree on which hundred small birds
perch. Only a step from the Doctors

PainIing BY Dwight Benton.

We have seen and admired pretty little
oil painting In the window of Robt. Clarke
& Co., Fourth street, called Near the Gate
of Santa Maggiore," Rome. This pleasant
bit of landscape has for its principal and
central objects a sen,i-rnined mill standing
with the sunshine shimmering upon its
roof. and with the foliage of the trees qniv-
ering in the intense light of the Italian sky.
In the road the shadows lie gray and cool.
and blne in the distance are the hills sweep
ing away and fading into the sky. Mr..
Benton is always earnest in his later works
and betrays the poetic fire that lie has i'm
b'bed from his sojourn in Rome and his
in the Campagna.

Conversation Ntop-gaps.

There is doubtless psychological
reason for even the most trivial expires
sion. A man desires to place himself en-
rapport with his interlocutor, to please
or conciliate him, and from some such
half-conscious motive he says "you
know" or "of course" even when the
words are irrelevant. Then comes
Habit, with her chains, and he says it
still oftener and less appropriately. Hab-
lit? Yes, and convenience, too; for with
the cultivated, as we'll as the unculti-
waited, it is found extremely convenient
to have some word or phrase in the mind,
which will come without thought to the
lips, and round off sentence in no
time.
Such pet phrases form part of the
stock in trade of many character in
novels and on the stage; and in real life,
too, they often come to be parcel of mans
idiosyncrasy Or to seem so to his neigh
bors. Women, with their softer fibre
and their sweeter natures, are generally
content to use in common the airy moth
ings Of the moment: to say .(as they do
just now, care you intense7" or to
stand by the perennial adjective mice" "
and the immemorial "Oh." ! know an
able man, and of some mark, who al
ways begins his assertions with the
words, "Really and truly" l know an
other man whose comparisons invariably
start with $50 to speak" know a
third man who regularly informs us that
so-and-so cannot be done "in any shape
or way"

A Gatling gun will be here in the

they mean to hold possession, and if

are laboring under a mistake. While
the government is not alarmed, they

the statehouse perfectly impregnable.

Washington, Jan. %. = Secretary
Schurz says certain degree of secrecy
is necessary in the Ute Investigation,
but that Ouray is in no sense a prisoner.
In the opinion of Ouray, as well as
myself, several things are to be accom-
plished by present negotiations:
l. To have the treaty provisions about
the surrender of offenders carried out,
so that the participants in the White
river murders can be tried.
2. To make such arrangement with
the Utes as will avert from them the
injuries that are threatened to be in
flicted upon them by the border popu-
lation of Colorado, and which certainly
would come if the present boundaries
of the reservation were preserved. This
accomplished, the present difficulties
will pass over without an Indian war,
which will be a great benefit to the
country generally.
8. To secure for them full compensa'
tion for every piece of land they may
cede to the United States and safe
and advantageous settlement for the
| future

RELIEF FOR IRELAND.
Substantial Contributions for the
Famine sufferers.

Providence, Jan. 23.-Bishop Hen.
dricken directs that collections be taken
on Sunday, February 1st, in all the
Catholic churches in his diocese for
relief Of the people of Ireland.
Dublin, Jan. 23.-At meeting OF
the Mansion house committee for Irish
relief yesterday, Bishop Duggan stated
that the distress in his diocese was
pressing and aggravated, and instant
relief was required. He deprecated
the restrictions of the board of works
under which very few people could OBJ
tain loans. The committee made
grants for relief amounting to e3,6S0,
including 81, 900 to the central COM
mittee of the county of Donegal
1t was intimated that e10,000 would
be granted to each of the five western
counties.
A deputation was appointed to wait
ON the lord lieutenant and chief secre-
tary for ireland, urging the govern
ment to forthwith provide seeds for the
small farmers.
The corporation of Cork propose to
ask, at the next meeting, for loan of
100000 for carrying out an extensive
scheme of sewerage and paving.
A large amount Of additional en-
ployment is being afforded by the cor
poration and harbor board.

nEronrED cApruRE OF urEs.
Ouray Explains the Intentions of His
Tribe.


Washington, Jan. 23.-It is stated
here tonight that information has been
received of the capture of six of the
Ute murderers. The others are ex-
pected to be taken in a day or two.
In the interview yesterday no posi-
tive conclusion was reached as to the
location of the Utes. Several stories
having been published despite the IN
junction of secrecy, Senator Hill says
that hereafter he declines to go into
any more secret conferences, as dis
torted statements, void of truth. have
been made regarding yesterdays meet
ing.
Secretary Schurz says the only reason
that he enjoined secrecy was to prevent
the plans of capture of the murderers
becoming known.
Ouray emphatically informed the Sec
retary that while the White river Utes,
and some of the southern Indians
would go to the Uintah reservation, a
portion of the tribe would not go there.
at least four or five hundred insist on
remaining in Colorado, but they would
relinquish, for reasonable sum, the
greater part of the present reservatio on,
provided there should be some definite
and reliable arrangements made for the
payment of their annuities.
Those remaining in Colorado would
go into the northeastern portion of the
present reservation, take up 160 acres
of land and become citizens of the
state.
A very important feature of the con-
ference was the effort to ascertain the
truth Of the story that the mormons in
cited trouble with these Indians.
Each Indian was interrogated upon
that point, but each denied any inter
course whatever with the mormons, OF
that they were responsible for the
trouble. Jack was as ignorant as any
of them.

Preparing to Raid MISUNDERSTANDING
Meetings.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Information
has been received at the department OF
on foot to organize band for the pur,
pose of raiding the bands of Indians in
the Indian territory. The parties en-
gagged in the work have their headquar-
tiers at Wichita, Kansas. The subject
was discussed at meeting of the cabi-
net to-day, and it was decided to issue
instructions to the government officials
in that section of the country to for
ward all the information procurable
regarding the matter. The war de-
partment will distribute troops so as to
check and suppress such movement
as soon as it is attempted.
