Parrots.

The parrot is like 8 mucn esteemed
and a much detested bird. The easy
facility with which they learn to speak,
and their eccentric doings, endear them
to some people quite rs much as their
nosiv chatter makes them source OF
ANNOYANCE to Others. But it must be
admitted that the parrot is one Of the
NEST interest: ng and amusing OF blpeds.
Much has been said and written con-
corning the singular sayings OF this
natural mir ic, and many amusing
scenes have been recorded wherein the
parrot has been the central figure. 1t
Is related of parrot owned by Boston
lanv. that, when asked to sing. it Will
cough and "scrape its throat !" in al
fectation of nervous young lady. but,
when urged, he sings:
"Cora's a jolly good fellow,
Which nobody can deny"
In the Bowdoin square bird store there
WAS a parrot, which, every afternoon De-
! tween three and five o'clock. in imita-
| tion of the ne wsboys, cried with wonder

recently to a handsome African parrot
sitting upon a perch at this place. nc
offered it a peanut, which the paTro,
eagerly seized, With the remark: ''Wha1
10 Won sow" Again, another nut wa!
offered to it, but withheld, when th.

your vest!' One day a lady was abo"
to leave the store, when parrot IN
ouired: a"Want to 60 to the depot!
The inquiry was so natural IN tone ina
the ladv turned about and answered on
of the attendants, who she suppose
asked the question. The most vauabl
parrot is the African, with ashen-gra
body, black bill, white face and scarle
tail. Their cost varies from ten to on
hundred dollars or upward, according t
their powers of speaking. There al
: manv varieties of the green parrot, som

rHD MouNrA1NEER s IDEA.

We do not view the coup de main"
of Mr. Willard and his friends, other
than promising an advantage, when
viewed by the past history of transpor-
tation upon this river, nor have We a
right to sit in judgment until the roads
now building are completed and q
permanent policy adopted.
The opening of rapid transportation
by rail with shipping point at Port
land or elsewhere, which can be relied
upon for the whole year, will be of
very great advantage over the present
system of water transportation and its
unavoidable change Of freights and pas
sengers. But an important matter to
be considered in this change, is the in
evitable change in the class of produc-
tions to be shipped, which will require
much greater facilities for carriage, and
from their nature will not bear SO large
. freight charge, and still leave profit
to labor.
We have no belief that the sagacity
which can accomplish so enormous and
comprehensive a combination Of priv
ilsges, powers and resources, as Mr..
Willard has done, will fail in seeing
that success depends very largely upon
the increase OF, and success OF the
people.
Unparalleled as we believe the fruit.
fitness of our soil to be, it is of no
value for diversified agriculture with
out adequate means Of transportation,
at such rates as will let the people live,
as we'll as transportation. We hail
with pleasure the prospect Of the estab
lishment Of such railways as will open
up any portion Of the country that will
sustain them. But we are opposed to
yielding to Willard and his Associates,
our birth right in an unrestricted use
of the Columbia river which offers our
only opportunity for comparative trans
portation for this portion Of the North
West. This is no "antimonopoly" ex-
element, born of the hour; long before
Mr.. Wizards conceptions were formed,
the general Government recognizing
the necessity of an uuobstructed intern
a navigation upon the Columbia river,
not less than 1000 miles, had assured
the pioneer, that its waters should be
opened to navigation. And such work
was commenced, and has only been
delayed by local and political jealousies
and interests, Of most unworthy type
which has delayed the progress Of Ore
gon and the whole North West coast.
We are unwilling to listen to any
plan to curtail the public right in a
free river, nor do we wish to be found
anything short Of an earnest advocate
Of the establishment of all the railways
tho country need. But in as much as
our natures are all selfish, Justice to all,
demands the preservation of every ele-
mont which will equalize the burdsns
and blessings Of our surroundings.
When the river is opened to free
navigation, the competition now guard.
ed against by Mr.. Willard, will st II be
open to him and his steamer fleet with
the same privileges as to the ranch
mans fat boat, and competition will
30 . benefit to the people, is to be
dreaded by monopoly.

George G.. Blair Fatally Stabbed in White
Pine County.

The Sentinel has information from
Osceola, White Pine county, that As
semblyman George g. Blair, who Was
stabbed at that place last week by Il
man by the name of Middleton, has
since died. The trouble grew out of a
disagreement between the wemen Of
the two families, then the men got into
words over the affair, and Middleton
called Blair liar, whereupon Blair
struck him in the face, when Middle
ton, in return, gave him the fatal stab.
Middleton has been lodged in the Ham,
ilton Jail on Il cilarg- OF murder. Blair
mad been married only about two
months. This is the second member of
the last Nevada Assembly who has
been killed since the adjournment in
March. The first was Captain John
Adams, of Eureka, and now it is Blair,

The above gentlemen are billed for

made no dates for Carson. 1t is believed
that an attempt will be made to run a
special train to Virginia during the en-
gagement, but the Carson people will
take no stock in it. They want the
two comedians right here at home or
not at all. In addition, Miss Della
Waters, young lady who is well known
in Carson, where she was raised, is with
the company, and there is considerable
curiosity to see her. She would prove
