A Cat W hipped by Islackbirds.

LOnOOn news.
The following extraordinary and touch
ing scene was Witnessed by a gentleman in
his garden|at Maldon: IA fledgling black
bird, evidently just escaped from its nest
close by, had with some difficulty f1uttered
from a tree into the overhanging branches
of lime tree. A cat also had observed the
young flyer aud Immediately gave chase,
rushing up the stem of tho tree with the
intention of getting on to the branch to
obtain her prey but meanwhile the
parent birds had come upon the scene, and
seeing the situation Of their Nesting, at
tackled the cat with the utmost bravery,
trying to prevent her crawling on to the
branch. They kept alternately flying at
her, using their beaks and wings inccs-
sanity with the utmost fury and get
ting fearlessly within range of the
cats claws, and while one was pOuncing
at her head the other would execute a
flank attack, both Of them keeping up
all the time that continuous, noisy, angry
chatter which blackbird so we'll know
how to make on an occasion. These bold,
strategic movements confused the cat very
much, as her position in the tree was not
advantageous, but she kept snarling and
striking out with her talOns whenever
an opportunity occurred. The interested
observer tried to help the birds, but
from the lower branches of the tree
intervening missiles were not of much
use. He was obliged to leave the
exciting scene, but after a long absence
returned and found the combat still going
on, and person who had watched during
the interval said the birds had kept on the
attack without ceasing, forcing tho enemy
to keep on the defense only ; and the des-
perate struggle kept on for two
hours till the birds were COM
pletely exhausted, and sat all in heap
looking as though they had lost half their
feathers. But they had kept the destroyer
from their little fledgling, and their friend
at last managed with some trouble to dis
lodge the cat. In the afternoon the birds
seemed quite to have recovered them
selves and were singing VIGOROUSLY in the

DE-. EVANS AT HOME.

How Lancaster Dentist Lives in Paris.
FOrney's Progress.
A gentleman just home from Europe
says that DR.. Evans, the American dentist,
continues to dispense princely hospitality
in Paris. 1t is little singular that while
DIR. Evans. a native Of Lancaster county,
in this state, is said to be the best dentist
in the world, the second place of honor is
conferred upon DIR. Byng, native of
Chester county, who also enjoys lucra
tive practice in Paris, and is rapidly &C
quirinS fame and fortune. 1t will be re-
membcred that DIR. Evans was the init
mate friend of Napoleon iii, and lie is
still the cherished friend of the ex-Em-
press Eugene.
DIR. Evans house is filled with the
choicest specimens of art, presented mostly
by his royal patrons. His fortune is ample
and when asked why he did not retire
from business replied ''Wcll, in the first
place am devoted to my profession, and
desire occupation, and in the second it is
something pleasant 10 know that You have
it in your power to relieve suffering hu-
manity.''
Everybody must havc hobby and Dr..
Evans weakness seems TO be 4 fOntneSs
for curious birds, which arc sent to him
from all parts of the world, and are dis
played on tho spacious lawn attached to
his residence near the Bois dc BolosEe.
lie has many rare and valuable specimens,
including turkey from Cochin China,
valued at $500, cockatoos, cranes, swans,
and brilliant plumased birds OF every
description, in all OF which the
doctor takes peculiar intcIcss.
One of the most rarc and curious is the
praying bird from Jaran. This bird has
wonderful initiative qualities, readily
whistles any tune it may hear, and almost
us soon as it ceases whistling, and when
not thus employed, it gets on its knees and
mumbles rs if engaged in prayer. greatly
to tho wonder and amusement of visitors.
DIR. Evans has never lost his fonanes>
for America and Americans, and his &C
quaintance in aud familiarity with Paris
add immensely to the pleasure Of those
who arc SO fortunate as to meet him.

WARRING LEGISLATORS.


An Allusion BY Robson that was Promptly
Resented BY Whltthorne, Who Gives
the Lie Direct to tho ex-Secretary.
WASHINGTON. July 6.-In the House
Mr.. Belmont N. Y. } called up the mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which the
House refused to order to third reading
of the joint resolution authorizing the
president to call an international conference
to fix upon common prime meridian to
be used in reckoning longitude and regu-
lating time throughout the world. The
vote was reconsidered and the joint reso-
luton was read third time and passed.
The House then resumed consideration
of the navalappropriation bill and adopted
in bulk amendments agreed to in commit
tee of the whole, after which Mr.. Robe
son took the floor to close tho debate on
the bill.
In the course of his speech in defense of
his administration of the navy depart.
ment, Mr.. Robson referred to the inves-
tigatiOn carried on by the committee on
naval affairs of the forty-fourth Con-
gress, and without mentioning him by
name alluded in terms Of deepest contempt
and insult to MIR. WhitthOrne (Tenn).
Speaking of the men who headed the com.
mittees in that Congress he said that eff
there was man who was accused of steal
to the 'front.'" At these words up started
in the space in front Of the speakers desk
exclaimed "That is lie, whoever tells it
or whoever repeats it,
by name il any man recognizes himself
hvyf tho RI infinn LOT him Stov, fnyupn ri
and deny it,
Members congregated around the two
gentlemen and there was a good deal Of
excitement in the hall, but the matter
dropped, although Mr.. Robson continued
in his attack upon Mr.. Whitthorne.
The naval appropriation bill has just
passed the House-yeas 119, nays IS.
Immediately after the passage of the
naval appropriation bill Representative
Whitthorne (Tenn.) was recognized ON a
question of personal privilege. He pro-
ceeded to reply to the charges made by
Mr.. Robson against him, characterizing
the statement made by that gentleman as
untrue, and said that in uttering them he
(Robeson) stated to the House and
to the country what was absO-
lulely false. He referred to the admins
tratiOn of Mr.. RObesOn rs secretary of tho
navy and charged him with shar-
ing "swag" with the firm OF Cattcll
& Co. Several points of order we're
raised and motions that the improper Ian.
guage of the gentleman from Tennessee
be taken down were submitted, but not
insisted upon. In conclusion Mr.. Whit
thorne said, "With all the responsibility
which belongs to mo attach to the
forehead of that member (Mr. Robeson),
falsehOod and perjury.
Mr.. Robson replied briefly to the effect
that he would leave the country to judge |
of a man who recognized himself in the
portrait which he (Robeson) had painted.
The matter then dropped.
The House then took up sundry civil
bills, the last appropriation bill to be acted
upon.
