THE SALE OF PARK LANDS STOPPED.
Park Commissioner Strauahan, of BROOKLYN, said
yesterday that the sale OF the East Side park lands
would probably not be continued before the spring
While the sale had begun with high prices, the last
lots on Wednesday had been sold rather low, and
for that reason lac bad stopped the sale. He thought
the city should wait and take advantage of the com
ing rise in real estate and the prospective advan-
tages of The completion OF the Drdge, ana me
adoption OF some available scheme OF rapid transit,
Before renewing the sale Mr.. Stranahan Sall lie
would apply TO the Legislature, in behalf the city,
for leave to sell the 100 lots fronting in Flaibush-
ave-, and facing the Park, south of Mount
Prospect Reservoir, which the city reserved for

and museums. but now the lands not being within
the limits OF tie park, and its occupancy for public

the unsod part OF the lands. 1t is probable that the
CITY will grade Law ont streets and improve the un-

The actual number of lots sold on Wednesday was
295 and the sum received for them 5J93,l7O,
making an average of over - 600 a lot The
prices ranged from S62J to 30 GJ0. The sale
was much talked of by real eStgte dealers and prop

keeping near the CAGE, and then
came down and took bath
in her accustomed little bath tub.
The male was brought out, and he too
was liberated Both birds few
away, but returned. For two or
three days they would return, battle,
and enter their cages towards sunset,
to be liberated again in the morn
ing. One day the male came back
alone. Then the owner knew a nest
had been made. Watching the male
bird, he was not long in finding the
nest; it was in the grape arbor. The
female laid five or six eggs and brood
ed them fMthfully-the male bird re-
turning every evening to stay over
night in his cage. Much interest was
felt in the incubation by persons who
knew of the situation, aud at length
the nest was daily peered into to see
it any little birds were Matched. One
day, when the time was at hand, and
it was found that none as yet were
Matched, the inquiring daily visitor
was told to come once more, next
day, and be RECALLED on the sight of
one or more young hooking birds,
which would surely be Matched "out
doors" in freedom, here in New Eng
land. The visitor did not fail to 60
next day, but was saddened and fairly
shocked to learn that the mother bird
had been killed and gobbled the night
before by a housing OWL that had
been seen the preceding day and dusk
haunting that unaccustomed neigh
borhood.

Another Purchase by the ErIang-

CHATTANOOGA, July 14.-Mr. Fred
Wolfe, financial agent Of the Erlanger
syndicate, yesterday completed the
negotiations for the Memphis, Holly
Springs and Selma railroad, a railroad
extending from Memphis to Selma,
Ala ninety miles of whi,h are a..
ready built, eighty-fve miles graded,
and the whole to be finished at once.
This road,when built to Selma, will be
extended to Albany, The syndicate
now owns the road from Albany to
Brunswick, ON the Atlantic coast,
and with their new acquisitions, the
Vicksburg and Meridian and Vicks-
burg and Shreveport, will have access
to the sea over their own lines from
Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Memphis,
Shreveport and New Orleans, by way
of the Albany aud Brunswick. This
system is rapidly becoming the most
formidable in the South, and is al
ready possessed of the most strategic
lines.

The Injunction Suit.

The Morristown Gazette has always
been staunch State credit paper,
but in the issue of this week, which
came out before Chancellor Merritt's
decision, the editor is moved to say:
The opinion prevails to large ex-
tent among State credit men that
Chancellor Merritt will not dissolve
the injunction, but will throw the
entire responsibility upon the
Supreme Court. In this event, it
may be that the question will not be
finally determined before we have
another election; for the Supreme
judges will not make unusual haste
to dispose of matter Of such mo-
mentOus importance. So the prospect
is that, instead of finding our debt
settled, we will have, possibly, more
bitter and exciting struggle on the
subject next year, than ever before.
And in this connection, while regard
ing ourselves sound as a dollar" on
this question, We must be permitted

To women who are considering the
advantage of adding to their incomes
by undertaking the culture of silk, the
experience of Miss Nellie Rossiter, of
Philadelphia, who last year received
the Pennsylvania Agricultural Socie-
TVS diploma for her success in this
industry, will be of interest. Miss
Rossiter, who is only fourteen wears
old, thus describes her work: when

which procured through friend OF
my fathers; in a few days | shall

$500 this year, and | hope to treble
that sum in the next twelve months.
1t requires careful watching to keep
the worms in good health. They re-
quire constant feeding, and somehow
they always need attention at four in
the morning. They will eat mulberry
or Usage orange leaves. [ have a
permit to pick those leaves in the
park. When | cannot procure suffi-
cient amount of foliage to feed all the
worms | expect to be Matched, | freeze
as many thousand eggs as | cannot

frozen will live for over two months,
and on being restored to a heated
room readily hatch. On the other
hand, the worms die unless always in

The MOckIng Bird I'm COnnecti-
cut.


Hartford Times
1t is generally believed that the
hooking bird does not extend his
summer migration further northward
than the State of Maryland, but it is
fact that a few of these Southern
songsters occasionally extend their
summer trip further north, not only
into New Jersey, but even into the
southern border of New Enyland.
Three of their nests were built one
recent summer in a suburban part
Of Hartford and, we regret to add, all
three were plundered of their eggs
before the young were Matched. If
not molested, the hooking bird, when
he does travel as far north as COnnec-
ticut-which is by no means the case
every summer, aud only very few of
them ever come so far at best-would
hardly be noticed, half hidden in
the congenial shrubbery which he
loves. The hooking bird is intelli-
gent, and is easily taught to sing
tunes. lie has his personal likes and
dislikes. He exhibits great favor to
the kitchen maid the instant she en-
ters the room, but will scold violently
as soon as he even hears the step Of
certain visitor on the walk inside
the gate, before he enters the house.
A Hartford gentleman had pair of
