LONDON Jan. 5.-Nothing less than a
panic seems to prevail among the military
authorities in all parts of England. In
view of possible Fenian attempts the War
Office has sent special instructions to COM
handing officers of volunteers in all towns
with Irish populations, for the safe Gus
tody of arms.
A telegram from Sheffield says that
seven or eight cases Of rifles, belonging to
volunteers, have been removed with con-
siderable privacy to the town hall in con-
| sequence of instructions from London. A
similar movement took place during the
Fenian agitation. So far the scares that
have taken place proved to be hoaxes.
The commander OF the irou-clad, Lord
Warden, guardship of the Firth and Forth,
denies the story that a torpedo had been
| found beneath the bows of that vessel, it
was only an empty Irish whisky barrel.
Extra precautions are to be taken to guard
| the Houses of Parliament from being
blown up. The writer suggests that the
| best precaution would be to insure the at
| tendance of Parnell and the other Land
League members.
A dispatch from Birmingham states that
inquiries have been made of the leading
| gun makers there, and the replies received
confirm the reports Of the expectation Of
| arms to Ireland. and that large orders
| have been and are now being executed.
| There has also been a brisk demand for
revolvers. One of the principal gun
| makers states that more revolvers have
been sent to Ireland from Birmingham in
| the last two months than during the pre-
ceding two years.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 5.-Bottles Of petroleum
have been found at Corrion d Huskisson
docks. These, taken in correction with
the recent ~incendiary fires in the lumber
| yards, excite alarm.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Queens speech
was submitted to the Cabinet yesterday.
Almost all members of Parliament have al
ready arrived, and Lord Beaconsield Is
said to be very active in his movements
among them previous to the opening Of
the session. 1t seems to be conceded that
if Mr.. Parnell is not allowed to leave Ire
land, Justin Mccarthy will take his place
as ltducE Vi the IIOIuc uulc party ia IA
House OF Commons.
DUBLIN, Jan. 5.-Last night some people
near Claramorris dug a ditch across the
road to prevent passage Of a process server,
who, with a police escort, was proceeding
to serve writs of ejectment. The peasants
threw stones freely. The riot act was read
and the police charged upon the crowd.
Four persons are believed to be fatally
bayoneted and several others injured.
YARMOUTH IN. 81, Jan. 5.-The bark
Happy Home of Halesport, N. s., struck
Trinity Ledge, IL miles from here, last
night and capsized. The Captains wife,
daughter and one man persisted. To-day
boats went off and rescued the remainder
of the crew, all of whom were frozen, the
Captain and mate seriously.

TILE IEwIsn CRUSADE.

The Sacramento Record Union OF o re-
cent date says the crusade against the
Jews in Germany appears to be carried
on with astonishing energy and mallg-
nifty. 1t is impossible to discover any
rational excuse for the movement yet IL
is supported, not only by the Ignorant
and stupid, but by learned professors
and literary men, and public officials,
and. in fact, many people who might be
thought superior to SO vulgar and con-
temptible a prejudice. A large meeting
held at Berlin the other day actually
passed resolutions in favor OF suppresslng
the liberty Of the Jews, pledging them
selves to vote for no Liberal who would
not promise to support such legislation,
and undertaking to buy nothing from
Jewish shops or firms. This is intro
ducing Boycottism to Germany, and IN
augurating a wal Of determination. 1t
is time that rational Germany should rise
and explain this singular outcry against
the Jews. Certainly nothing in Their
own conduct explains it. They have
p~rospered through their W industry
and business capacity, but it would be a
queer world if men were to be denounced
and legislated against for succeeding In
life. We are at a loss to know whether
this German agitation has a communlstlc
basis, or whether it is founded upon sheer
folly and Of spirit. No matter
how originating, however, it is disgrace
full to the German people and calculated
to lower them in the opinion OF the
world, both as regards their civilization
and their sense. 1t might indeed be ar
gued from it that their long submission
to despotic government had e~xtinguished
in many of them the capacity for appre'
ciating the blessings and the rights o.
freedom, and that consequently they
sought to tyrannize over their fellows as
they themselves have been ~tyrannized

A Kentucky Bird Story.

A sight so strange that it would pay
strangers to come miles to see occurs
every night, five miles south of this
place, on the Cedar Bluffs of the Cum
berland River. Every evening just
about sundown the sky is darkened as
far as the eye can see by great flocks
OF birds coming to roost in these eedars.
Your correspondent, accompanied by o
native and lantern, spent a couple of
hours last night among the eedars
watching this wonderful congregation
of every tongue, plumage, and almost
every country this side of the tropics.
Startled by our approach great clouds
of the chattering tribe would rise from
their perches in the cedars and tly off
with noise like deep and distant thun-
der. We had to scream at the top of our
voices to hear one another speak. Large
limbs OF the trees were broken off, caused
by the accumulated weight of birds.
Hundreds, blinded by our lantern, would
fly into our faces. We could pick
thousands of them from the branches of
the trees. But what seemed so strange
about this bird convention was the
seeming peace and harmony that exist
ed between the birds. The hawk and
dove roasted in peace on the same
branch. while hundreds of robins and
sparrows circled in perfect safety around
the perch of large owls. In the early
morning when these songsters of the
groves left their perchcs. in the cedars
for the fields of the open country it was
a most beautiful and gorgeous sight to
behold. With the blue of the Jay, the
crimson and red of the fence wren and
red bird. the yellow and grey of the
yellow and sparrow birds seemed like
some grand and splendid panorama of
the floral kingdom endowed with the
power of music moving through the air
in procession composed of all the col
ors of the rainbow. Hundreds of peo-
pie come every night to see this strange
wonder. A great many poor people
gain almost their entire support by
catching and selling these birds

An Improbable Wager.

fetty tradeSmen, servant maids, re-
tallers OF beer, tobacco, chang
ers and other such "small deer" in the
venerable city of Prague, have of late
been greatly exercised by an odd wager,
contracted between two of their wealth
ier fellow-citizens, one of whom, few
weeks ago, laid the other 800 fiorins
that, by the 1st of January, 1882, he
would collect the sum of twenty eight
forins, Austrian currency, in one -kreut-
ger pieces bearing the date of 1873. 1t
seems that, owing to some unexplained
accident, only thirty florins' worth of
these .coins-the individual value of
which is trifie less than that of the Brit
ish farthing-was issued from the I'M
perial mint. The 5000 kreutzers are, in
all probability, scattered about through
out the length and breadth of the gigan-
tic Austrian Empire; and it can hardly
be but that some of them have been
lost during the seven years that have
elapsed since they first came into circu-
lation. Thus. the enterprising gentle
man who has bound himself to recover
$500 of their number within a twelve
month would really appear to have un-
dertaken an all but hopeless adventure.
He contrived, however. to gather to-
gether nearly 1900 without betraying
the Importance he attached to their pos
session; but, through some indiscretion.
the terms of the wager became publicly
known about fortnight ago, since
which time the 1873 kreutzers have risen
considerably in the market. and are
now quoted at the fancy price of form
apiece. Nobody gives or takes copper
change in the dual realm without close.
ly examining each kreutzer; and it is
not unlikely that, should the layer OF
the wager succeed in completing his
collection by the appointed date, he
will have paid so dearly for the scarce
coins that his winnings will barely cover
bis expenses.-Londo,a Telegraph.

A New American Gem.

At the last meeting of the New York
Academy of Sciences Mr.. G. +. Kunz
read short paper upon the new min
eral hiddenite,' discovered not long
ago in North Carolina by VIM. E. Hid
den, mineralogist. The mineral con-
stitutes a new gem, of the emerald
class, and is known in the trade as
ithia- emerald, owing to the presence
of lithia as one of its chemical constitu-
ents. We have seen some specimens
of this gem and they are indeed most
beautiful objects to the eye. The
stone has pure delightful green tint
with liquid brilliancy that is quite dis
tinctive and remarkable. 1t sells for
about the same price as the diamond.
Mr.. Hidden tells us that the mineral is
found in narrow chimney in the rocks
not more than two feet long by two and
a half inches wide and having an incli-
nation of almost seven degrees. .-Scie's-

The Angler.

A hideous fish called the angler, or
fisher-frog, is happily rare on our coasts
His stomach holds a bucket of saw dust.
The creature fishes for other and more
natural members of the flock of Amphi-
trite with two short night-lines, which
he wears in the top of his head. He
opens his mouth and hangs out his bait;
other fish make a rush at it and he sucks
them down into the stomach that holds
a bucket of sawdust. 1t must have
taken the angler-fsh some time to
evolve this "aisy stratagem," as Captain
Costigan might have called it. Mr.
Buckland examined the 'creer' of one
tisher-frog and found that the animal
had made very mixed basket. 1t had

Fragments OF Prehistoric Monster.

Sonoma and adjacent counties appear
to be a perfect mine of interesting Gu
riosities in the shape of petrifications
belonging both to the animal and vege-

able is the fact that these relics of bv-

earth as to frequently be revealed by
