"Ogsattgassett."
A clerk in retail drug store pointed te
the above strange word, written on . small
piece Of paper that was pasted into . scraI

. hundred puzzling orders that had beer
received at the store and saved ss literary
curiosities.

We frequently get from unlsarned people.
BY experience we learn TO read the latter,
but must confess we have to study some OF
them . long time. For instance, take this
one: Avis chalara pills. You would not
suppose thst this means Ayers cathsrtic
pills. Here's another, 'Seena moue.' hsd

presented this, before discovered that SIENNA

page you see sBox yelapercillacca,' which
was somebody's way Of asking for box Of

Of course, for tincture Of myrrh, and this
one: 'Grose of sepliment, for corrosive sub.

Birds Flying In the Might.
From, the Worcester SPY.

FRO" We VoTCsstcT cpg.
One OF the phenomena which have been
noticed in connection with the cold weather
Of the past four weeks Is the scarcity Of some
species of birds which usually mako their
appearance from the Ist to the 18th Of May.
Although In the milder. weather Of last
month the early birds came thick and fast,
passing on their way to the north, the tide Of
migration has apparently been stayed by the
unfavorsble weather. which has retarded Is
we'll the growth ofvegetation III some ways.
Many Of our birds which may be seen here
regularly In numbers on certain dates every
season have not appeared as all, Or but few
of them have been seen. e..
II is we'll known that flights Of birds occur
quite regularly In autumn before the storms,
and In spring after them. IL Is also well
known that many birds In their mIyra:ions
travel during the night, resting usually
during the day. We were prepared on. the
rise Of the mercury Saturday evening to note
flight of birds during the night, and were
not disappointed. The early hours Of the
evening passed without much, having been
heard Of the birds, except now and then
the chirp Of . warbler, or the noise Of .
small flock psssing overhead. ifeg.a.. 49,. d.
AT eleven o'clock, however, bird calls
began to resound high In the air and OF all
sides, and from twelve to two in the morn
ing multitudes of birds. were heard passing
overhead some low, some 80 high that their
notes came back Ike faint echo from the
darkness. Occasionally flock Of warbIers
or sparrows would pass, flying 50 low
that the rustling of their wings could be
heard. Now and then flock Of some small
birds passed high overhead, making their
call notes continuous musical ripple
through the night. From the regions Of the
upper air, high above all, came back the
tones Of the plover and other shore birds, all
tending toward the north. This vast null
titude OF birds continued 70 pass throughout
the night.
Y The notes Of many, such rs the bobolink,
tanager, Wilson's thrush, wbite-crowned
sparrow, were recognised during . walk
Sunday morning these birds and many others
were found In numbers. Those who wish
to observe the smaller land birds, now on
their way to the north, should be on the
alert, for In ten days from this time very few
birds will he found bere, except our summer
residents. This flight ofbirds, which is prob
ably not local, may extend over the entire
portion Of the northern United States, east Of
the Mississippi, or even further. Counties
millions Of birds are now spreading through
these States, returning from their wanderings
In Southern forests to their old homes In the
North.

1t was as plain as any contract could be
made. In return for service faithfully per
formed, the recruit was promised stipulated
sum per month, and in case of death or dis
ability in the service his dependent relations
or himself were to receive a pension from the
dats Of the disability"
Has the Government ever cancelled that OBJ
Iigation?"
Not in so many words, but therepeal of the
arrearges Of pensions act would be equivalent
to it."
How is it that there are so many unsettled
claims for pensionsf'
There are two reasons. First-Congress
has never supplied a sufficient force Of clerks
to examine and adjust the claims. Second
all the Commissioners Of Pensions who have
preceded General Dudley, have imagined that
they were placed there to resist the payment of
pensions, and the most shameful quibbiing has
been rcsorted to by former Commissioners to
prevent an equitable adjustment Of claims"
Good evening, General"
"Good evening; tell your soldier readers
there is something good in store for them,
which I cannot refer to now, but which will
bring joy to the hearts of manya soldieror his
widow and orphans and hope to be able soon
to tell you more about IT."

WHAT IS GOING ON ABROAD.

4 new Irish bill introduced in the House Of
Commons invests the Lord Lieutenant with
extraordinary powers. 1t authorizes him to
appoint three judges to try persons accused OF
crime, and these special judges may conduct
the trial without jury. In other words, the
right of trial by jury is denied by the pending
bill, and the judges selected by the Lord Lieu
tenant may decide cases involving life or death.
1t is true the bill gives the right of appeal from
this special court to the supreme court Sir
William UarcoUrt, Home Secretary, in pre-
scnting the bill, admitted that it was an e1-
traordinary measure; that it went to rather
dangerous limits, but said it was intended to
meet an extraordinary condition Of affairs. He
promised that the government would use all
its powers to prevent innocent persons from
suffering under this law. The Irish repre-
sentatives bitterly dcnoUHce the bill, and pre-
dict that it will result in more signal failure
than the coercion act. The unfortunate muir
der Of Lord Cayendish and BLr. Burke is
already producing its evil consequences to Ire
land.-A canister hung on the railing of the
Lord Mayors mansion G.ondon) was found to be
filed with blasting powdcr.-The Egyptian
Not&blcs, instead of dcposing the Khedive, have
demanded the resignation Of the reb.llious
ministors.-Tho convention between Russia
and Turkey, settling the war indemnity ques-
ton, has been signcd.-Colonel Emil Frei
has been appointed minister of Switzerland at
Washington. lie formerly served in the
United States sarny.-The German Reichstag
has resolved by vote Of fG2 to 121 to refer the
tobacco monopoly bill to a committoo.-Han-
Ian, the champion oarsman, sailed from Liver
pool for New Yorlz-Mr. Lorillard's horses
have been scratched from nearly all theirpend-
ing engagcmonts.-Thc captain, first officer,
and s. Of the crew of the Turkish transport
which went ashorean the BosphOrus perished.
The firm attitude Of England and France
has checked the Egyptian reyoIutionists and
the status quo IS still maintained.
