TALKING BIRDS.

Parrots, starlings and jackdaws are not
the only birds that "talk." Birds not
possessed of active power of melody are
usually gifted with varied abilities of ar
ticulation. A hooded crow, for instance,
can produce an astonishing variety of COM
plex noises from his throat, and his talents
only lack cultivation to enable him to give
utterance to words, but his natural Ian
guage is the very reverse of melcdious,
and cannot in any sense be considered as
song. / have known hooded crow to
say "papa" with great correctness, and
what is more remarkable, he invariably
applied the name TO its proper owner-not
the noodles papa but his masters. The
startling talks very roughly indeed to his
fellows, but he is one of the best mimics
we have, initiating the notes OF other
great accuracy. Magpies also can be
taught to articulate with a tolerable degree
of accuracy. The mocking bird, too, so
well known in some parts of the United
States, has no natural melody of his own.
but he contrives to copy, in most faith
full manner, the songs of nearly al his
feathered neighbors. Curiously enough,
the only cases l have known of talking
canaries have occurred in the west of Eng
land, but am not able to draw any con-
clusion OF value from that circumstance.
1t may be coincidence, or there may pos
sibly be certain families settled in the west
country, whose peculiar gift is to initiate,
with a fair amount OF accuracy, the vari
GUS intonations of the human voice. A
canary, which was owned by lady in
Weston super Mare, was accustomed to
hear its mistress, an invalid, say, on con-
clusion of its song: "Oh, beauty beauty
Sing that over again - These words the
bird picked up, and was soon able to re-
peat, but its education made no further
progress, and no additional words were
acquired. The short sentence was never
uttered, save after brilliant burst of song.
1t is wholly incorrect to suppose that no
meaning is ever attached by talking birds
to such words or short sentences as they
may be able to pronounce. The well
known case of the Edinburgh parrot,
whose singular accomplishments have al
ready been noticed in more than one peri
odical, has settled the question once and
forever. So far was this clever bird above
"mere parrot talk that he rarely spoke
word that had not direct relation to sur
rounding objects or events. a strange dog
introduced into the room was greeted with
loud cries of Put him out Put him out
I'm SO frightened" Clergymen attending
his numerous levees were politely requested
to "Gie oot the Psalm I" and, as this by
itself would SAVIOR somewhat of habitual
irreverence on Polls part, it is only fair to
add that he was very particular at meal
times in telling the assembled family to
'Say grace first I"

INHERITANCE.

A gentleman, when a boy, had the skin
of both thumbs badly cracked from expos.
ure to cold, combined with some skin dis
ease. His thumbs swelled greatly, and
remained in this state for long time.
When they healed they were misshapen,
and the nails ever afterward were singu-
larly narrow, short and thick. This gen.
tleman had four children, of whom the
eldest, Sarah, had both her thumbs and
nails like her fathers; the third child,
also daughter, had one thumb similarly
deformed. The two other children, boy
and girl, were normal. The daughter,
Sarah, had four children, of whom the
eldest and the third, both daughters. had
their two thumbs deformed the other two
children, boy and girl, were normal.
The great. grandchildren of this gentleman
were all normal. Mr.. Bishop believes that
the old gentleman was correct in attrib-
uting the state of his thumbs to cold, aided
by skin disease, as he positively asserted
that his thumbs were not originally mis-
shapen, and there was no record of any
previous inherited tendency of the kind in
his family. He had six brothers and Sis.
ters, who lived to have families, some of
them very large families, and in none was
there any trace of deformity in their
thumbs. Several more or less closely
analogous cases have been recorded but
until within recent period every one nat
urally felt much doubt whether the effects
of mutilation or injury were ever really
inherited, as accidental condolences would
almost certainly occasionally occur. The
subject, however, now wears totally diff
ferent aspect, since DIR. Brown-Sequard's
famous experiments, proving that guinea
pigs of the next generation were affected
by operations on certain nerves. Eugene
Dupuy, of San Francisco, Cal, has like
wise found, as he informs me, that with
these animals .'lesions Of nerve-trunks are
almost invariably transmitted" For in
stance, " the effects of sections of the
cervical sympathetic on the eyes are repro.
duced in the young, also epilepsy las de-
scribed by my eminent friend and master,

do not feel at liberty to give this case, as

The BEST BREED OF CHICKENS. We
are much amused at times in reading dis
cussions about the best breed of chickens,
says the Germantown Telegraph. Each
one uses nearly the same arguments in be-
half of his favorite kind, claiming for it
exactly what the other claims for his.
This is all well enough, as it shows that
the several leading breeds possess some
marked advantages, and no one will really
fail in making choice. When we had a
chicken house we tried four or five kinds,
but none of those at present SO prominent.
We had the Srangled Hamburg, the Po-
land, the Game, the Black Spanish and
the Dominique, the last named being the
one preferred, and strongly recommended.
There are several kinds of Dominiques-
the small, the large double le.combed, and
the medium.sized single-combed and yell
low.legged The latter were excellent
layers. the egg being large and white !;
they never flew over an ordinary. sized
fence; were good sitters and mothers !;
and as to beauty they were, and we may
say are, unexcelled. Some of the later in
troduced breeds may be better; but if we
had again to choose we should still prefer
the medium-sized, single-combed, yellow
legged Dominique.

The situation at Washington.

| S SAsNnshVh az vbdshiapeOus
WASHINGTON. October 14sh.-The Presi-
dent has determined that he " i'll not send in
the nomination for his Cabinet until after the
Yorktown celebration. He said to Senator
yesterday that he would be gratified if the
Senate would not take an early step to ad.
journment. He added that of course he
would have to go to Yorktown himself, and
would be pleased to have ell the Senate 90.
When asked further as TO his wishes. he
suggested that the Senate take q recess of
several days to attend the Centennial and to
do honor to the French and German visitors.
He added that he would not detain the Senate
many days after his return from York
town, as the original programme of
the Governments participation in the Cen
tennial of honor to foreign visitors contem-
plated the present Cabinet, and was partly ar
ranged by them. Therefore he wants to keep
the Cabinet together until after the Centen-
NAL. He will make his Cabinet appoint
ments Immediately after the Centennial, but
the Senate will not adjourn sine die Until
about the 25th.
There is apparently disappointment
among the Democratic Senators at Senator
Davis election. They geneia ally believed. up
to the last moment, that he would not accept.
They criticise hin pretty severely, saying
that he has actually abandoned his much
boasted indepepd dent position. A Democratic
Senator, who generally re fleets his party sem
timent, says: Judge Davis ambition was
tempted by the possibility of reaching the
Presidential chair, and that overcame his
usually good Judgment.

ably, did the French officers know, as they
galloped up here and there, with a copious
note book in a leather case at their side, to
watch the effect of artillery fire, that the
guns were served with powder captured in
Metz and other arsenals during the cam
paign which made Germany an empire and
France republic. Yet such, I was as
sured by an artillery officer, was the fact.

An IGNORANT TEACHER. "A medical
correspondent writes as follows: "0ught
not teachers in public and other schools to
have commonplace knowledge of chemis-
try? 1 read in recent paper of female
teacher in Pennsylvania school who put
wood ashes in the mouth of child, six
years of age, to punish him, as she said,
for telling lie. Can person be regarded
as competent to teach who does not know
the common fact, familiar to an Alabama
negro, that ashes and water will form
cauatic lye? The child's mouth. lips and
throat were fearfHlly excoriated. Com
ment is unnecessary. I believe that the
education of our children in the physical
sciences should be commenced with plain,
cheap apparatus, and simple, attractive ex-
periments at an early age. Useful knowi-
edge thus inculcated is not forgotten"

San Jose Times That Republics. and
States belonging to Republics, cannot
afford to stand idly by and see the author
ity of the Courts trampled upon. Where
laws are made by the will of the people,
the power of the people must enforce them.
If the hydraulic miners have the right to
pour their debris into the valleys the law
will protect them in that right, and the
farmers must submit but while that ques-
tionable right is in litigation the orders of
the Courts must be obeyed.
