The Star Route Frauds -Brady's Counsel
 Protesting Against Postponement of the
 Trials.
 WASHINGTON, June 23.-In the Criminal Court to-day ex-Second Assistant Postmaster General Brady made through his counsel ap- plication that the grand jury examine the Star route cases in which his name is con- nected at once. In notifying the govern ments attorney of this motion Brady's coun- sel submitted letter sent them by General Brady calling attention to the reported post ponement until September of the prosecution of alleged unlawful practices which the papers of the country had charged him with committing during his recent official term as such postponement the writer strongly pro- tested, desiring an opportunity for an imme- diate yindication and. declaring that the pro- posed procrastination was alike unjust to him and discreditable to the government, con- cluding by declaring that he is ready now or at any time Colonel Totten, of Brady's counsel, moved for the grand jury investiga- tion at once. Special Assistant Attorney General Cook said no direct charges had been made against Brady. Counsers appli- cation meant simply to ask the court to take upon itself the functions of the Attorney General and his associates in this case stNow," continued Cook, sallow me to say on behalf of the President of the United States that he has assumed the position that the investigation into supposed crimes of the United States must be pur- sued carefully, cautiously and impartially that not one must be presented to the grand jury for their consideration and investiga tion only after careful and thorough investi- gation intending to show when it is con- pleted that there has probably been crime committed Indeed, the high and exalted eral is this that the United States cannot, must not and will not present any evidence before the grand jury unless after the most cool, tranquil and impartial ex- animation it appears to be requisite to do so to maintain the purity, welfare and stability of the United States.'' Colonel Cook concluded by announcing that the cases would be presented to the grand jury soon as the facts could be properly collected Jer- emiah Wilson, another of Brady's counsel, claimed that the publications were garbled and the alleged frauds were easily suscepti- ble of explanation. Judge Cox said the off cials of the government charged with the duty in this case did not present any accusa- tions against General Brady or anyone else, and 1t would therefore be perfectly futile to take it up. He could not see how, the case could come up before the grand jury, and though the parties might have to suffer odium he was obliged to refuse the motion of Bra dy's counsel.

APretty Bird story f, om Michigan.


 BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June 14.-While strolling through the woods at Goguac Lake yesterday afternoon I suddenly came across half dozen birds known as brown thrush or mocking bird. They were all busy working at some object on the ground, and did not notice my intruding till I was upon them when, with a shrill cry, they flew of a hort distance, and perched on the trees to watch my movements. Having my curiosity aroused, went to examine what I supposed was nest of young birds, when to my sur prise l found the dead body of a female thrush, which had been killed by shot from some hunters gun and had fallen where it ay. The birds which I noticed about it had been covering it over with leaves, sticks little tufts of grass, etc, until only it's feet stuck out. Immediately the story of the Babes in the Wood. Powered with leaves by robins, came to my mind, and all seemed real as the time when in childhood read the story and believed it to be true. Anxious to see what the birds would do, stepped back of large tree to little distance and watch ed them. Slowly the birds came back, one by one, and continued the work of burying the dead bird. While engaged hopping about after leaves and ass they would chirp ID a low, melancholy key, what took to be the dirge notes of the little birds funeral did not have it in my heart to disturb them, and watched them at their labors for full half hour, at the end of which time the dead bird was completely buried

Am Eye-stone's vHanderings.

c. The following remarkable incident has just come to our knowledge. It would seem al- most incredible, were it not for the absolute veracitY of the gentleman making the state ment. Mir. Rufus Miller is well-known farmer of this town, living at Mechanics town. Some five or six years ago. just before retiring, MT. Miller placed in his eye what was known as an eye-stone, for the purpose of removing mote, as he had frequently done before. For the benefit of those of our readers who may not know what an eye stone is, we will explain. It is a small, white. round shell, about three sixteenths of an inch in diameter, concave on one side. convex on the other, and quite thin. It is taken from the head of a crab, one being found under each eye when Mir. Miller awoke, he could not find the stone. He made a careful and thorough search. but all ir vain, and he made up his mind that it was gone for good. A few weeks since he felt hard growth on the end of the little finger of his right hand. He showed it to some friends. who concluded it was 8 wart, and advised him to let it alone
 He did so until about week since, when it began to sore, and he commenced picking at it. He soon found out that some hard sub- stance was under the skin, and digging away, he finally took out his long lost eye stone. He examined it so carefully that there can be no mistake. He now recollects that at one time he experienced considera- ble soreness in his wrist and supposed at direction. How this bit of carbonate of lime ever made that long journey without being lost or absorbed is mystery. That it did so there can be no doubt.

 The bitterness between the half-breeds and stalwarts was never at more feverish point than to night. Quarrels are numerous and one between W. H. Madden of Orange coun- ty and Conkling, who returned from Utica tonight, came near resulting in blows. Conkling and Platt were walking through one of the Delavan corridors and met Mad den, who extended his hand to Conkling, who refused it, saying, II do not give my hand to men like you, sir. But that you are g Senator should treat you as I think you deserve" Madden was furious and retorted that he would throw of his Senatorial cloak for Conkling's benefit and meet him on any terms he desired. Conkling berated Madden for the offensive terms used in his speeches and Madden replied that he had never re- ferred to him in person, but had only alluded to his political conduct which he considered scandalous. A crowd gathering the two sep arated. The encounter created intense excitement and the hotel corridors were thronged by adherents of both factions. Madden. at the half breed caucus later in the evening, narrated the occurrence and denounced the stalwarts and their leaders for their bulldozing tactics. He subsequent Iy returned to the hotel and repeated his de- nunciations publicly, calling the stalwarts fools, and got into an altercation from which he was removed by his friends before either he or the stalwart with whom he was quar- reling had a chance to strike blow.
