read with much interest in your last issue
the following passages: 81 observed q curious
thing one day lately. Some food had been
thrown out to the starving birds by some good
Christian, when rock came down and few
back to where he had left another rook sitting
in very weak looking condition, and fed her
with what he had picked up. This he did
twice in my sight, before taking anything him.
SELF 1t was very interesting sight, and 1
was very much pleased with it, @
was particularly struck with 1t because /
had some time previously received from cor
respondent in Wales, stranger to me, q pre-
cisely similar account Of these birds. "What
wanted to mention was this: One day, In
the bitterest of the weather, when I am sure
our friend, the rook 1 have spoken Of, was re-
duced to great extremities, the bird neverthe-
less performed the following good deed: 1t
picked up bit of bread, carried it to another
rook, which sat on the terrace wall, too shy to
come nearer, and fed it there. Nor was this
after having satisfied its own hunger, for it
had only just alighted." When put this lit
tie story down had misgiviDg that anyone
who might read it would scarcely be disposed to
believe it, as beyond credibility. was there
fore much gratified at having so soon after
ward seen such an exactly similar fact re-
corded in corroboration of it, SIS above. 1t was
indeed, l think, q very touching incident, and
one to mako everyone, I should hope, who
reads it, have much good feeling for all Gods
creatures. .rE.

Correspondence Public Opinion1
As one of the few men who like cats, 1 never
lose an opportunity of trying to make these
social and intelligent little animals better
known and understood, and so beg q portion
OF your space for the purpose of adding to tho
correspondence on this subject few facts that
have come under my observation, and for the
authenticity Of which can vouch. With re-
gard to their palates, 1 once had cat that was
extremely fond of bread and jam.
Whenever she saw me eating it 1 was .
youngster at that time, and fond of 1t myself
she would come for her share, and as much
more as she could get. She must have had
sweet tooth generally, for she also liked any
kind OF cake, although she disagreed with the
principle OF having currants in 1t, and to
humor this whim Of hers 1 used to pick them
out, If there were any in it, before giving 1t 10
her. The worst that can be said about these
tastes is that they were peculiar. What
have to tell about this cats eldest son, how
ever, makes me blush with shame for the
whole feline race. ef. ~
AThis latter disreputable and degraded pussy
displayed at an early age q strong taste for
bitter beer, and have seen him at times 80 in
ebriated as to be unable to stand, even on the
four legs nature had blessed him with 1t be-
| gan In this wise: The tap of our beer barrel
leaked, so saucer was placed underneath to
catch the droppings. One day pussy by chance
/ got shut up in the beer cellar. Perhaps In tbe
darkness he mistook the beer for milk; any
how, when the door was opened the saucer
was empty and the cat was unmistakably
tight" From that time he was ever hang
ing about the beer cellar door, watching his
opportunity to sneak in, much as mon lounge
round the public house doors at 1885 O'Clock
on Sundays. We cured him of his drinking
habits at last by very simple process. We
got barrel that didn't leak, and after that
he changed his ways and became sober and
decent member Of society. .r gi-.
His mother at one time became fostermoth-
er to young squirrel-an orphan. She took
wonderfully to the little foundling, and
seemed to care in fact more about him than
her own kittens, but she could never quite
make him out. He objected to be licked for
one thing. and he would cock his tail over
his head IN way that nearly broke his foster
parents heart. Do what she would she could
not get it to lie down properly, and on one oc-
casion she really cried out with vexation over
it. Had space could give many instances
showing pluck, intelligence and affection in
cats. To those that see, they are no longer
the sleepy, uninteresting creatures they appear
to most people, but lively, sportive and thor
oughly amusing companions. Many an other
wise dull half hour have spent in hearty
laughter over the tricks of even the most staid
and matronly Of them, and many who now
look upon them as merely kitchen lumber
would, am sure, find = would repay them to
make themselves better acquainted with these
harmless little domestic tigers"
The Portland daily press., 1881-06-16
Records of the War =

In the memoirs of the civil war, published
soon after it came to so fortunate au end,
readers naturally expected some inaccuracy
and imperfection in statement and many
hasty and ungenerous judgments. After
the lapse of nearly twenty years a near ap-
proach to candor and accuracy ought to be
possible. We should now be capable of
giving true and impartial account of the
history of the Rebellion. But military lead
ers and critics of military operations, North
and South, are still quarreling about judg-
ments and disputing statements of alleged
facts. Sherman's Memoirs provoked a
storm Of controversy. Badeau's account OF
Grants career in the army calls forth criti-
cism from the epauletted gentlemen who
know that the Great General sue
ceeded where they failed, and seek
TO attribute his triumph to luck
and their defeat to unavoidable mis-
fortune. The latest account of the civil
war, that furnished by Jefferson Davis
the third of the triumvirate of American
traitors-is more severely criticized than
any of its predecessors, and has the singu-
lar quality of satisfying no one except its
author. One of the greatest of the Federal
commanders, and the foremost of the sur
viving Confederate leaders in the field con-
denim this plea for the "Lost Cause made
by the man who called himself and was for
time saluted by nearly half the country as
President of the Confederate States of
America" The work is condemned on ell
hands-by those of the North to whom it is
an avowed offense, and by those of the
South Of whom it pretends to be defense.
tits already convicted of inaccuracy of
statement and disingenuousness of infer
ence. Yet it is an entertaining book and
will be eagerly read by those who despise
the author and the cause he championed
as well as by those who, while regretting
Southern defeat, have no regrets for the fate
of the incapable Southern leader. Few men
so generally detested are listened to 80 eag-
erly.
1t has been the fortune of one New York
publishing house, that of the Appletons, to
SoNN~NSt sAAN AAAesAASSAAPeo VI bHC WOiho VIC
have mentioned; and to their enterprise
American readers are indebted for some
most sensational literature" The object
of the Appletons is, of course, to make mon
ey-and the general opinion will be that
they have fairly earned it. The judgments
pronounced or in allegiance will doubtless
be modified or formed by the work of a pub
fishing house greater than that of the Ap-
pleton's-the Government Printing House.
One volume of the official records of the
rebellion has already been put in type and
distributed-among the people-and many
others are in preparation. From these the
historiographer of the civil war will make
up his account. They may not be so en-
tertaining as the stories now completed-but
they are more trustworthy.

The New York Sun has this to say about
a New York Senatorial candidate: ."Mr.
Depew is gentleman of snowy and some
what brilliant talents. But instead of en-
ploying his superior abilities on high and
broad field, worthy of such gifts, he has
been willing, for years past, to be ranked as
the chief lobbyist of one or two large corpo-
rations, to whose bonnteous pay his poverty,
if not his will, consented. He has for his
chief hacker the richest man on the Amer-
can continent-the richest man in the
world-to whom money is no object" 1t

DETROIT Post: The work of the census
bureau covers much wider range than was
included in any previous census, and if
prosecuted to conclusion in the broad spirit
i'll which it was undertaken, the country
will be furnished with mass of informa-
ton of priceless value. In view o. the
great Importance of having this work thor
ough and as perfect as such work can be
made, it is to be regretted that the superin-
tendent now finds himself compelled to limit
his force in the midst of incomplete labors.
1t is reported that the work will not be de-
layed, but will be done voluntarily, the per-
sons engaged depending on the generosity of
the government for compensation. There is
nothing unlawful in this so long as the gov
ernment is released from liability, and there
is no doubt Congress will fully reward those
who continue tLeir labors.
