they could have been got to market
Besides this the Indians objected to
the presence of the trappers Mr.. Ut.
ley is now trapping $4,000 live birds fol-
the New York State Sportsman's As
sociation. He says that this associa.
tion will probably use up 1900 dozen
at its annual meeting. Live birds
bring from 81 to S1.25 dozen, deliver.
ed at the depot in Sheffield Eleven
hundred barrels, containing over half a
million dead birds, and many crates of
live ones were shipped from Sheffield
in 1878. Over $4,000 worth of birds
were sold during the season. This
year the shipments are much larger.
Cooped in large quantities live birds
become diseased and die. When they are
"stall fed,' to use professional term,
they become to fat for trap-shooting
and are killed and sent to market.
They are rarely kept more than a
month before they are placed in the
traps, and are compelled to fly guant-
let of crack shots.
The fowlers begin netting the pig
cons when they are forming q roost
The nets resemble common fish nets,
and are usually sixteen feet wide and
thirty feet long. They are spread in an
open place over which the birds fly
while in search of food. The net is set
near a covert made of thick hemlock
boughs. 1t is strung on rope tied at
either end to green hickory saplings
bent parallel to the ground.
Man is not the only agent in destroy
ing these immense focks of pigeons.
Crows break their eggs and beat out
the brains of their young an army of
hawks hang around the nesting like
wolves, and snatch up the unwary
birds; owls prowl among them at night
and destroy untold numbers; twelve
years ago snap of cold weather froze
millions of squads in their nests; vast
numbers are drowned in the lakes, and
gales and snow storms break their
nests and kill thousands at their roosts.
So far as is known, they escape the
ravages of pestilence. They are clean
and trim birds, and are rarely troubled
with vermin. They are strict vegeta-
rians, and never devour worm nor an
insect. They are the sheep of the air.
More innocent birds never futtered
wing; but, like all innocent breathing
things, they are prey to the cruel and
the rapacious. Of all their enemies
man is the worst, for the hawk, crow
and owl raid upon them for substenanee,
while man too often kills them in wan
ton sport.

and all cutaneous eraptions By keeping these
organs and vital fluid pure and healthy we may
safely defy the attacks Of disease and no medicine
yet prepared for this purpose can equal the action
OF these Pills and Ointment, as they dive to the
seat of the disorder, and exrpating its cause, de-
stroy its effect.

.TEAvE TO PRINT. .

No Congressional privilege or permission
is so much abused RS the leave to print in
the Congressional Record language that has
never been brought before the National
Legislature in open debate where it could
be met, critics ed, and, if needs be- rebuked.
Not unfrequently this leave to print covers
matter that the author has not the courage
TO utter in the face Of his peers. In other
cases the matter is so absurd and ridiculous
that the Member has not the face TO utter it
upon the floor of the hall of legislation, and
hence he smuggles it into the columns Of
the Record, where it Is first presented to pub
lie view. Much of this matter is mere
trash not worth the expense of ofreproducing
and more than that, too much Of it is Il
fraud and disgrace to Congress, The last
feat Of this character was performed by Mr
DoWNEY, through which he dumped into
the Record au effort which should be made
the basis ofa writ oflunacy. But this effort
Of Mr.. DowNEY is harmless, though some
what expensive TO q government already
overburdeued with debt, and when COM
pared with other statements that have been
smuggled into the Record Mr.. DowNEY's s
poem is very tolerable, except that it puts
another blotch of npaIliamentary nonsense
upon the page of Congressional history.
1t would seem as if this last feat would
admonish Congress of the necessity Of max
ing a rule that nothing that is not uttered
in Congress shall be spread upon the pages
Of the Congressional Record, and entered
there precisely AS it falls from the lips Of
the Member addressing th c body, Next TO
inserting mere balderdash or cowardly ut
terances under leave to print comes the
absurdity of entirely changing the character
of speech after it has been delivered, by
eliminations, injections, and the changing
OF the matter when il appears in the Record,
80 that one who hears it delivered can
scarcely recognize 1t as the same effort
when he reads it, This is the custom,
we admit, but it is nevertheless

a fraudulent abuse which demands correc-
ton. The moml obliquity of changing the
record and the character Of speech after
delivery falls but little short of that which
changes the date or denomination Of n
money obligation after it has been uttered.
True, there is no money or legal response
bility involved, but 1T is nevertheless n
fraud upon The public mind for it utIers to
the world something else than that which
has been delivered in Congress. In view Of
all this there is forfeiture of popular re-
spect on the part of Congress when it thus
sets an example of open and needless dis
honesty to be studied and perhaps emu
lated by the people. The example is per-
nicious and the custom should be reformed.

OK Wednesday last we ventured, at the
hazard of our peace and comfort, to intro
duce to our readers q most infamous attack
of the Meridian Miss Mercury upon the
female employees of the Departments, for
the purpose of showing the demoniac spirit
that rules some portion of the Southern
press, and for the further purpose ofexpress-
ing our dissent thereirom. Our reward is a
food of communications with request that
we publish each and all of them, though
some are quite severe upon US for hay
ing done this thing in the interest OF
friendship. Nevertheless, we published one
of these papers, which seemed to cover the
ground, and for want Of space we must de-
cline any further publications on this sub
ject 1t would seem that these core-
spOndents are moro irate toward us than
toward the slandereT whom we attempted
to rebuke, and hence as our labors are not
appreciated, we leave the assailed to deal
with the originator of the cnlumny, firmly
resolved not to do y clever action again un-
til this occurrence is forgotten.

KEEP CooL Ann CALM.

The West Point investigation has not de-
veloped anything else connected with the
case so markedly as the want of amiability
of temper among the authorities of that
public institution. This is not n favorable
symptom of the case. Intrenched in the
consciousness of rectitude of purpose and
aim, the officers of West Point should be
clothed with serenity as with garment
c omplacency should be the ruling spirit of
the occasion, and dignity and correct de-
pertinent should mark every officer and
every incident of the affair If the public
press and mind have been unjustly censo-
rious in their criticisms, there has been
provocation for it in the very initiative of
this proceeding. From the outset it was
apparent that this colored cadet was to
have added 10 his personal wrongs
a public prejudice that was inevita-
BILE under the attempt to cast sus-
picion upon him as the perpetrator of
his own injuries. 1t was this feature Of
the case that aroused public feeling and
criticism. That very naturally excited a
prejudice against the institution as now
managed, and has led to hasty and per-
haps unjust remark. This, perhaps, is un-
fortunate, but il is unavoidable under the
circumstances, and nothing, so far as we have
noticed, has since transpired on the part of
those who conduct the investigation to pla-
cate public sentiment and feeling. This is
public institution in which every Ameri-
can citizen has an interest, for the reason
that he in some degree contributes to its
support, and hence it is u legitimate sub
ject of remark and even criticism; but these
should not be prompted by passion, for
then injustice might be done. Let the case
be coolly and calmly watched to the end,
and then let justice be done 10 all con-
cerned, if such thing is possible

SENATOR LoGAN's keynote for the Third
term canvass in Illinois was defense Of Gem
eral GRANT. That is the position the Repub-
lcan party must take and hold if he is nomi-
nated-[N New York Tribune.
What position will it take and hold if
BLAINE is nominated ?-[Cincinnati Gazette.
We will leave the query of the Gazette to
the Literary Bureau, but to the remark of
the New York Tribune we would simply
ask, wherein does General GRANT need de-
fense? The files of the Tribune do not say
that he needs defense, Then why does that
paper assert it.?
