The Rev. Moses c. Welch under the title of ''Moses and his Wife," relates the prophets trying expert ence as the head of family, and incidentally touches upon some points of exegesis, on which modern scholarship has thrown some light The remaining articles in this number are on tOld and New Calvinism," by the Rev.

Rails and Rail Shooting.

Some Account of Various Kinds of Rails
 Their Appearance and Habits.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Now that rail shooting has become such 8 popular sport, it may interest the people at large to learn little of the history of the birds in question.
 New England can boast of only half a doz- en species, belonging to the sub-family RaI En9 of the tribe PaludicOEe; but one of them is abundantly able to make up in numbers what he lacks in cousins, and that one is known to the naturalist as the Porzdn0 Cur oltnd, and to the shooters as Carolina rail, alias sors, alias ortolan. The colors of the sora when in full plumage are as follows: !: Bill greenish- yellow; legs, dark green; space around the base of bill, black, the over the top of the head; upper parts, green ish brown with longitudinal bands of black :; breast, bluish ashy. The young birds, which are by far the most numerous, as might be expected, do not have the black markings about the head, the throat is ashy, and the upper parts are tinged with dull yellow As to general characters the sora may be de- scribed as bird with compressed body, a stout conical bill, 8 short, jaunty tail pair of strong legs, with big feet and noisy dis position. He is of total length of about eight inches and half, and dwells, like the rails in general, in marshy localities where rushes and rank grasses afford protection and furnish seeds for food. This species is abun- dant in the fresh water meadows during the summer It arrives from the South about the middle of April, and separating into pairs prepares to furnish young rails for the Autumn shooting The nest is constructed of grasses and reeds arranged in large pile, but usually we'll hidden in tussook or beneath hog. The eggs are from six to ten in number rather large for the size of the bird; of yellowish drab color, and thinly marked with lilac dots.
 By the first of September the rails from further north begin to arrive and the tide- water marshes become enlivened with count

$1, 816, 339, ,567.43. Add this to the local debt and the grand total for the country of public debts is $2,s71, ,647 ,O6O. Our population is about 51, 100000 souls, men, women and children. The amount of debt other than national is $23.6 per capita:: the per capitG of the national debt is about $35. 50. Adding the two it will be seen that each individual in the United States owes about $59. The average of the family is family owes about $296. The older portions of the country have the largest share of the local indebtedness. The New England States have local debts per cGpita, of nearly $50; the Middle States of over $43; the Pa cifc States of $14.67; the Southern States of $14.31, and the western States of $13.66 Altogether our public debts are about F per cent. of the assessed value of all property for 1880, which is quite enough.
 Stephen s. Foster, who died at his home in Worcester, Mass, last week, at the age of seventy one years, was an anti-slavery agita- tor of the Garrisonian school. Of the group of reformers who, from 1885 to 1S61 waged war upon the Constitution as ''a covenant with death and an agreement with heli, {" none were more zeafous and de- liant than he Of late years Mir. Foster had owned and cultivated an excellent farm 8 few miles out of Worcester; and seldom came before the public, except when the city collector had occasion to enforce the sale of his stock ar homestead ta ens,1re Tavment of his taxes which he withheld on the ground that taxation without representation of wo- men was unjust. James Russell Lowell once wrote of him:
 Hard by, az calm as summer even,
 Smiles the reyiled and peted Stephen,
 The unsppeasable Boanerges
 To all the churches and the clergies;
 The grim savant, who, to complete
 His peculiar cabinet,
 Contrived to label with his kicks
 One from the followers of Elias Hicks;
 Who studied mineralogy,
 Not with soft book upon the knee,
 But learned the properties of stones
 By contact sharp Of flesh and bones,
 And made the approximations crtcfs
 With his own bod. g vital juices
 A man with caoutchouc endurance,
 perfect gem for life insurance
 kind of maddened John the Baptist,
 To whom the harshest word comes aptest,
 Who, struck by stone or brick ill starred,
 Hurls back epithet as hard,
 Which, deadlier than stone or brick,
 Has propen-ity to stick.
 His oratory is like the scream
 Of the iron horses fren zied steam,
 Which warns the world to leave space
 For the black sngines swerveless race.

The great forest fires in Michigan and Canada usually start, according to the Chi cago Times, in the branches and foliage left scattered around by the woodchoppers and lumbermen. A spark falling in heap of dry, resinous pine or spruce boughs may cas- fly start fire that will lay waste township or county. Once under way, such fire heats the air before it and thus dries the trees that are it's predestined food as it moves along. In some years as many trees are burned down in the northwest as are cnt down. Moreover, as the Tunes suggests, fire does not discriminate; it devours the young trees, the cones and seeds, the veget- able portion of the soil itself As there are no forests to spare in this country, to say nothing of the great loss of life which has resulted from these periodical fires, 1t is high time to do something to prevent them,
