ON Saturday last, the merchants

displayed numerous flags, bearing
the names of all the latest and

English SparrOWs.

History is full of examples of the danger of
inviting foreigners to interfere in domestic
strife. Our experience in regard to British
sprrrows is only one more illustration of this
danger. The sparrows promptly put down
the worms, but when their work was done
they declined to return to England.
They. multiplied with a reckless rapid
ity which would. have filled Nautilus
with horror, and spread all over the country
in the neighbCrhood of New York Being
without regular employment, they soon began
to display all the worst vices of idleness.
Fighting and robbery became almost their
only occupations. Not content with the
countless varieties of wild worms and tame
beetles which abound in our fields and woods,
they rivaled the most shameless and confirmed
crows in their raids on the property of farm
ers. At the present season, when the farmer
proceeds to sow his seeds, the sparrow sits on
the fence making sarcastic and derisive re-
marks concerning him, and the moment his
back is turned they steal every seed
that he has planted. From morning till
night they are constantly quarrelling with
one another, and they treat our aboriginal
birds as the Western people treat our Indians
few weeks ago the robins, bluebirds, song
sparrows. and yellow-birds returned from
their annual visit to the South, and began to
look for building sites in Long Island, West
chester and New Jersey. The sparrows who
pass the winter in the North, living from foot
to beak. instantly fell upon them with such
violence that the insulted and disguised
birds departed, shaking the dust from their
tails, and seeking new homes where no spar
raws can modest them. Not a native song
bird is now to be heard within days jour
ney from the city, and the wrangling and
scolding of the sparrows make the dawn hid
eous that once was ushered ip with the sweet
song of ''half-awakened birds. ''-Ne.c York

washington Despatch to the n. Y. Herald.
The debate has been thorough and able, but
the honors Of it, In the opinion Of Senators
generally, have been carried off by Mr.
Blaine. Indeed, it was evidently to put q
check to his victory that Mr.. Thurman aban-
doned the bill 1t is the first time since his
accession to the Senate that Mr.. Blaine has
had occasion to take conspicuous part IN an
important debate-one which interested the
whole Senate, and, if the conversation of
leading Senators may be trusted, he has sue
ceeded in surprising them by his ability in
abatement, his ready and accurate command
of facts and precedents and the effectiveness
with which he has met the attacks which
were directed at him with good deal of per-
sistency by Messrs. Thurman and Carpenter
and some others, but these two in particular
Mr.. Carpenter suffered severely at Mr..
Blaine's hands and Mr.. Thurman did
not gain anything in the debate.
Mr.. Bayard. on the whole, is
thought to have come off the
best of those who engaged the Maine Senator.
Mr.. Carpenter has not been fortunate at this
session. His famous demand for the re-elec-
ton Of the ex-President as the only man who
could properly discriminate between virtue
and vice" caused him to be laughed at even
BIZ the other third term Senators. to whom it
had not occurred until then that this was the
ex-President's strong point, and that they
wanted him in the White House for precisely
this purpose, and in this debate his contempt
uous declaration that Mr.. Blaine was mot
LAWYER" was met so well by the Maine Sena-
tor that this crime will hardly be urged against
him again. The lawyers of the Senate say
that he was at least as well up in the law of
the case as Mr.. Carpenter. The Senate is a
body of lawyers, some great and many small,
and the great ones, while they know very
well the important advantage their special
knowledge gives them, are not so quick as
some of the small lawyers to despise those
who are not in their profession.

Mr.. Blaine and the Geneva Award

The sharp contest which Mr.. Blaine
made in behalf of the vessel owners and
against the insurance companies in the
Geneva award business has given him a
stronger hold upon the seaboard States
than he had before the struggle began.
Indeed it ought to give him an increase OF
popularity and strength the country over,
wherever justice is respected and manly
effort to achieve it commands the favor
and admiration it deserves. Mr.. Blaine
stood upon the solid basis of right. Those
who opposed him worked like paid attor-
neys for their cause. Their clients, the
insurance companies, took risks during
the war with their eyes open, and with 70
compulsion or necessity to cause them to do
il. Their hands were absolutely free to
accept or reject war risks; they had a
fair opportunity to calculate the chances
and to fix their rates; and if they lost
money it was their own fault, and they had
no right to expect indemnity from this or
any other government if they suffered
losses. But the truth is, they made no
losses; on the contrary they lined their
Golfers well from the pockets of the suffer
ing shipOwners. who felt obliged to pay
the enormous rates asked or allow their
vessels to rot at the wharves. Unlike the
insurance companies, the vessel owners
being caught by the war with that kind of
property in their possession. had no chance
of escape from disaster to their business,
whatever way they turned,-unless they
placed their vessels under foreign flags.
which the most Of Union men refused and
scorned to do. IF they allowed their YES
sells to lie idle at the wharves, loss stared
them in the face. and so they chose what
seemed to them the less OF two evils, sent
their vessels to sea. paid the war premium.
and came through the struggle with heavy
losses-bound to be heavy losers in any
event. whichever horn of the dilemma
they took.
The sum of money over which the Sen
ate has been disputing ought to be paid
to the impoverished ship owners. and not
to the insurance companies which grew
plethoric through their gains in the war.
Before the money or any portion of it
shall 60 to the greedy insurance compa-
mics it should be sunk in the ocean Of
right it belongs to the vessel owners. and
the nation whose flag these patriotic men
carried over the seas and by which they
signiied to foreign nations hoping for
our downfall that the United
States government still lived should
see to II that they have their just
dues in this matter Honor to Senator
Blaine for his noble defence of the right !,
Shame on the lawyers who sold themselves
and the places with which the people have
intrusted them-and which they have no
right to sell-to the bloated insurance
companies! Mr.. Blaine never stood SO
high in public estimation in the Atlantic
States as since the debate on the Geneva
Award closed.
