The SparrOws.

If the philanthropists who helped intro duce the English sparrows into this country could have foreseen the destruction wrought by the little pest, they would not have been 90 enthusiastic in the praises of it's voracity for destroying the myriad of insects which abound in tho air and help destroy the veg ssation. The benefit derived by their intro. duction is small in comparison with the of fences they have committed. They have driven away the song birds, the jays, the martens, the robins and the thrushes until nothing is heard in the land but the chirp, chirp, chirp of the sparrow in the daytime, and the squeaking of the katydid in the even- ing. They stuff the caves of the houses and the spaces between the brackets with whatever refuse they are able to take hold of, giving the house a loathsome appearance and paving the way to 8 compulsory visit from the painter at least once 8 year.

A NOVEL MODE OF DEATH.

HOac q Man Loaded HIS PisgoL arit1t Water
aud Blesc Hts Head off.
At the inquest held upon the body of
Felix Everarts, tailor who killed himself
at the Gassman house, 42s Broadway, San
Francisco, the jury rendered verdict of
suicide. Joseph Lambairts testified that
the deceased was married man, and at
the time of his death was out of employ
ment and very Respondent over domestic
troubles. One Sunday he told the witness
that he was sending a telegram to his wife
in New York, asking her to come out to
see him, and that upon her answer depend
ed his life. He wrote to his wife for money
to take him back to New York, but the
witness was certain he never received any.
He had threatened his life three or four
times.
theory as to the direct agent of the
suicide, and one which meets with general
belief, is that Everarts loaded the pistol
which he used with heavy charge of pow
der, and upon it poured in charge of
water, the two charges being separated by
a thj OK wad. To this powerful auxiliary
only can the terrible mutilation of the sui
cide's head be ascribed. A better opinion of
the force of water can be formed when it
is stated that the entire crown of the mans
skull was found fifty feet distant from the
spot where he fell, and portions of the
skull we're never discovered. Beside, it
was shown on examination at the morgue
that the dead mans skull was quarter of
an inch thick. 1t is stated that Everarts
has three grown daughters on the New
York stage.
