A Plea for the Birds,

Robbing of birds nests is getting To
be perfect mania among the boys. they
rob them to get their eggs to preserve
that is, some debut majority only
from cussed cruelty. Our sweet warbler,
the ElockiDg bird, is fast disappearing, ali
of which is attributable to the wanton
cruelty of boys, whose parents seem ut
terly Indifferent to such atrocious acts.
We say atrocious, and we mean il. We
had rather tolerate ono of our bows in
violating the holy Sabbath day than to
see him guilty of robbing birds nests.
Boys are getting 30 impcrlinent in this
bad practice that they actually, armed
with ladders, iDtrudc upon their neigh
bors' yards in their absence and rob birds
nests, complaints of which have been
made to us, coupled with the request to
write an article condci m ing the same.
one Of the first lessons taught ns by our
sainted father and mother was against
robbing birds nests, and from that day
to this, we have felt like spanking every
naughty boy that We catch in the act
The truth is, parents these days care very
little about such things, and in this, as. q
great many other things, suffer their lit.
tie children to do just rs they please
Well, all We have to say is, that when
too late they will reap q rich harvest o.
regret for such indifference. Boys, il
you will persist in robbing these nests
for Gods sake, spare the mocking birds

wood Smith, of Brighton, Hampton coun-
ty, Will be of interest 10 many of our
readers:
The g!ound.nut, small variety, har-

to make known its merits through you to
those who have stock to feed. Thete can
be raised upon ordinary land-still bet
ter upon first new year land manured
ana cultivated rs for ootton-two to three
tons OF cured vines per acre, with from
thirty to fifty bushels Of the pea or nuts,
making the gross value per acre from
sixty to eighty dollars worth-the cured
vine being worth AZ much, and by many
preferred 10 the best hay, pound for

the vines to my horses and mules. They

The American Dollar Mark.

Origin of "S." There are number OF
theories for the origin of the sign of the
American dollar. One ia that it is com
bination of U. S., the initials for the
United States another, that it is modi.
fication Of the ngure 8, the dollar being
formerly called q "piece of eight" and
designated by the character 38. The
third theory is that it is combination
of H. s., the mark of the Roman unit,
while forth is that it is combination
of p and S., from the Spanish peso duro,
which signifies "hard dollar" In Span
ish accounts peso is contracted by writ
ing ihe S. over the T. aud placing ii sfser
the sum. But the best origin of the
sign is offered by the editor of the Lon
don Whitehall Review, who once pro-
pounded the question at dinner party,
at which the American Consul was pres
ent. AS no one could tell, the editor
gave the following explanation at is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign is to be found, of course, in the asso-
citation Of the Spanish dollar. On the
reverse of the coin is representation OF
the pillars of Hercules, and round each
pillar is scroll, with inscription 'Plus
Ultra. This device in course of time
has degenerated into the sign which
stands at present for the American as
we'll as Spanish Dollars-$. The scroll
around the pillars represents the two ser.
penis sent by Juno to destroy Hercule:

score of years. Mrs. Theodore Yutzler
was last evening rewarded by finding o
man. Mrs. Yutzlcr is q wealthy Young
widow, and went 20 her bed chamber al

80 doing observed the piercing ewes of a
man crouched under the bed. The par.
ties eyed each other few seconds, when,
without word being spoken, the man
moved to come out from under the bed.
Seizing the lamp at her side, the plucky
woman struck the intruder blow which
rendered him insensible. Then Mrs.
Iutzler screamed until her servants came
to her assistance and secured the man.
When revived he was turned over TO the

New YORK, May SO.-A Shreveport.
La, special to the Herald says: econ.
siderable excitement was caused hero
yesterday by the rapid construction Of
the New Orleans Pacific Railway track
through this city. The City Council at
q recent meeting gave the company the
right to construct their road down Com
merce street to Travis street provided the
property owners agreed. All of the
property owners signed the agreement
but three, one of them being the Mayor
Of the city. On Saturday Charles a..
Leffingwell, in charge of the construction
of tho road, learned that certain Darties
were attempting to get out an injunction
to stop work at certain point. Early
on Sunday morning he commenced work
on the line with large force and by z
o'clock in the evening had 1t completed
to the point designated. The Mayor at
tempted to interfere, but Lefiingwell in
formed him that his authority was not
high enough. The Mayor then ordered
his arrest, but this was not carried out,
and the work was continued to compile.
