Howard Sargnet, of Cambridge, Mass,
who has had opportunities for studying
the movements of the albatrOss for con-
secutive days, thinks the prevailing idea
that the bird is in some way assisted by
the wind in his flight is mistake. In
attempting to rise from the water Che is
supposed to be unable to rise from the
land or ships deck. the albatross flaps
his wings violently to get his body out
of the water; at the same time, padding
with his webbed feet. he acquires de-
gree of momentum sufficient, with out
stretched wings, to carry him forward
and upward upon an easy incline. Dur
ing this first rise. says Mr.. Sargent, he
will generally give few heavy, lazy
flaps, and then stretch his wings steadi-
ly to their full extent. AS he rises, he
must gradually lose his acquired mOmen-
tum. When it suits him to acquire more
momentum, by movement of his tail
he takes shoot downward at any angle
that suits his convenience, still with
Outstretched wings. By this downward
movement his velocity is rapidly in
creased, and he soon acquires sufficient
momentum to carry him to a hight equal
to or greater than that from which he
started to take his downward flight. By
this wave-like motion he will travel day
after day for hundreds of miles, perhaps
giving at long and irregular intervals a
few lazy flaps with his immense wings.

Acid Burns Cured by Ma~ne.i,

Last year two French students were
much burned about the face by the ex-
plOsiOu of retOrt filled with boiling
sulphuric acid. They were at once ia
ken to a druggist, Nj. AlanOre, who COW
cred their faces 2mm. thick with a soft
paste made of calcined magnesia and
water. In a few seconds, assures appear
ed in the magnetism mask, and a new
layer was then substituted. The pa
tients were thus tended for five hours,
after which the one hurt the least was
able to wash his face, which merely
showed some reddish spots. The other
had its magnetism mask renewed
during twenty-fOur hours. Suffering
acutely at first, the students ceased to
suffer i'm less than a quarter of an hour
Their faces have now no traces of burns.

Success.

The wonderful success which has at
tended the introduction of DR.. Whites
DandeliOn Alternative, is doubtless due
to the fact that it an honest medicine,
and will perform all that is claimed for
it, and DR.. White must certainly have
great confidence in his medicine, for he
authorizes all druggists to sell it under a
positive guarantee, such as is given on
no other medicine in the market. 1t is a
specific for billiousness, liver complaint,
fever and ague, dyspepsia, kidney dis
ease, rheumatism, and constipation of
the bowels, and as blood purifier and
renovator, it is positively unequaled.

THE StauntOn Valley Virginian sees
something more than patronage in the
struggle over the Senatorial offices, and
thus defends Malone and the Republican
Senator's: General Malone has betrayed
no trust, has violated no pledge, proven
false to no party obligation, and disap-
pointed the expectations of not single
man in the party to which he owes his
place. They cannot justly lay single
charge against him, and it is not for
this that their anxiety and fear are ex-
hibited. They see in the principles in
volyed, in the progressive ideas and
policy proclaimed, the entertainments of
the solid south broken, and the defense
of the Democratic party destroyed. til
an invitation to the young men, the new,
fresh blood and brain of the south, to
come to the front and assert their equal
rights and privileges, despite the
sneers and SCOTS of the old regime which
has ruled with an iron hand for years. to
the injury of all the interests of the
south. 1t is the forebodings of such a
revolution crushed in its incipiency. The
great mass of the people of the south are
at heart in sympathy with the move
ment.

Senator Ferry's Farrasut Souvenir.
From the Post and Tribune


A few days since. Capt. d. G. Me-
Richie, commanding the q. S. naval
vessel TallapOOsa, presented Senator T..
W. Ferry with very valuable mementO
connected with the late war, which by
coincidence comes just as public interest
is drawn toward the deeds Of the late Adj
miral Farragut, and close to the time for
the;unveiling of his statue inWashingtOn.
The trophy is the staff which carried the
admiralS' pennant through all the ma
val engagements ON the Mississippi, in
cluding;that of Port Hudson, and through
the exploit of passing the fort of Mobile
harbOr. 1t is of ash, surmOunted by an
ornament in the shape of a Roman battle
ak, which was struck by spent she'll at
Fort Morgan and partly shattered. 1t is
now riveted together by band of silver.
The staff with the penant it carried and
all of the boat furniture of the admiral's
yacht were presented to Capt. McRitchie
personally by Admiral Farragut a short
time before his death, and now the cap
tain, who shared in the engagements of
which the staff is in part a souvenir,
presents it to Senator Ferry as mark
of personal attachment and i'm recognition
of the senator's familiarity with naval
affairs, growing out of his continued
membership on the naval committee.

be of as rare species among ophidians

in length, and three inches and half in

THE verdict of acquittal in the case of
Buck, The West Point cadet, who shot at
and wounded the son of John G. ThOmp-
son, is explainable only on the theory
that the jury believed that Buck had been
prosecuted. The defense endeavored to
show that Thompson and others had
threatened to give Buck hazing, and
that it was fear of this that caused the
latter to shoot. The jury seemed to have
adopted this view of the case.
