Animals and the Telegraph.

NJ. Nielsen, director of the Nor
wegian telegraph lines, has just
published a curious note upon the
impressions that are produced upon
animals by the vibrations of tele-
graphic wires. The posts in the
neighborhood of the Norwegian
pine-woods, even those which have
been freshly impregnated with sui
plate of copper, are frequently
found to have been perforated by
woodpeckers, which, it seems, mis-
take the humming of the wires for
the buZzing Of insects. The holes
are generally made near the iasulq-
tors, and a post shown at the Paris
Electrical Exhibition had a hole
clear through IL large enough TO in
sert the whole arm. / ars imagine
the humming to be t. at OF bees, and,
not finding any sign of colony
above, paw at the heap of stones at
the base Of the poles and, when, they
can find nothing, vent their spite in
vigorous blow on the ground, to
kill the bees that persist in staying
hid. The scattering of the heaps Of
stone around the posts, which is
not rare, could not be explained,

the bears claws where these despe-
rate blows had teen given. Wolves

Catholic Reriew: In more than one of our
Catholic English exchanges, we find this char
acteristIc note concerning the lamented Bish-
op Lynch of Charleston. It reads like him;
he was always willing to recognize good work
and to say hopeful, encouraging word.
Heaven rest him! 'sWhen Bishop Lynch of
Charleston, U. 8. A., was dying few weeks
ago, he summoned to his deathbed,, the very
Rev. Father Slattery, the superior OF the Mill
Hill missioners in America. After giving him
his blessing, with feeble, trembling hand,
he made great effort to say to him the fol-
lowing words: "Dr. Slattery, I am an old
bishop-and perhaps dying bishop-and
have one thing to say to you. l have fonnd
the fathers of your society faithful to their
work-most faithful-most true. Tell this to
tie bishop of Stafford and to Canon Benoit."

A PART OF CANNON's RECORD
The New York "Tribune" Produces Some
Evidence of the Unscrupulousaess of
Cannon the Mormon DeIe1ate


New YORK, April 21.-The following is
from the Tribune, Saturday 22d: The un-
seating of Mr.. Cannon as a delegate N con-
gress from Utah has brought to light some
interesting documents bearing upon his rec
ord, which has been in possession of Hon.
Clinton L merriam, of this state for several
years. Mr.. Merriam, as q member in con-
gress in 1876, intended to use them in an effort
to GUST cannon from his seat, but before he
could complete his plans the solid support of
the Democrats, combined with that of the Re-
publicans, made the project impracticable, and
it was postponed.
The most important of the documents are
three atfidavits from Adolph Rain, a member
of the Mormon church, in which he sets forth
with much minuteness of details an inter
view with Cannon, in which the latter urged
him to commit murder in the interest of the
church.

dancing, was most interesting. A large
SPIDERS web hung in the center, with
several most life like spiders moving
about. The walls were covered with
rare plates in bronze, porcelain, etc.
Two galleries were supported by sea
monsters, one being used by the must
clans, the other containing a well covered
table with an immense punch bowl in
the center All the artists were collect
| ed here, but their costumes were too
varied for description. They, however,
set on the table in tailor fashion, instead
of at the table as we do. Tall bronze
balls, containing jets of gas, made good
limitations of pine knots, and their un-
certain light added much to the pictur-
esque illusion that enveloped everything
and everybody. Immense elephants had
been placed at each door and small
door cut out leaving the head and front
legs about each, while chairs, made to
initiate two sea shells, were to be found
everywhere. 3 high and long gallery
was converted into garden, with seats
for several hundred, from which a
general view of most of the rooms could
be had. This garden had a dark blue
sky, with bright stars, fire flies, night
|
ing about over head. Two immense trees
made of straw covered with plaster for
modelling, spread their branches about
in most fantastic way, bearing unknown
fruits and giving refuge to various wild
beasts. Gigantic ferns. grew in profusion
and falling water completed the illusion
of being in some beautiful country, only
seen in dreams, where the soft night air
brings only visions of beauty and
thoughts of peace.
