A Word for the EngIish Sparrow.


 Ttis nossihIe that much of what is said aoainst the English sparrow is based more upon prejudice than upon observation, and if is only just to this greatly condemned bird that when word is said in it's favor it should have a wide hearing. Such word is said by the Germantown Telegraph, and results from close observation The writer of an article in that paper says that the birds are daily before him upon his premises, whereon he raises all kinds of fruits and vegetables They have been carefully observed, and their behavior has been noted at all times and un- der all circumstances the conclusion drawn being that they are the most efficient and valuable insectiForous birds on the premises, and though unless fed in the spring with veg etable offal, they will eat the early spinach and lettuce, and the first tender leaves of fruit trees they do not eat to an extent to cause material damage. They eat no fruit of any kind When insects appear in the spring, up to June or August, they appear to be un remitting in feeding upon them, and the pear crop on the premises in question has never been so free from the attacks of it's enemies there. Though pugnacious among them selves, they do not drive away other birds, as is proved by the fact that on the premises in question there are more robins than ever and as many cat birds and wrens. Then the sparrow can be used for food, as it becomes very fat, and the writer from whom we are quoting suggests that they should be allowed to be shot for food, as their increase is so rapid that there would always be an ample supply.

Their perfect system of keeping out scout boats enabled them to be apprised of the ap-
 pearance of the Governors fleet before they
 could be surrounded and their escape cut of. The Governor is much vexed over the failure of his expedition. s'Old Jim Skaggs," the pseudo Admiral of the Pirates, comes in for large share of the Governors rage. If he can capture that outlaw and the one-eyed Turk Benized, through whose vigilance in commanding the scout and the signal boate the oyster depredators managed to outwis the Governor, the latter would be perfectly happy. Old Benized has served one year in the State prison for oyster outlawry in Vir- ginia waters, and swears he will never be ta- ken alive again. Governor Cameron has es- tablished outlooks in all the coast counties, who will signal his boats by rockets if any of the oystermen make their appearance in their section. The Governor is expected to return to Norfolk to-day. Six prisoners who are under arrest are sickly. Half of the number went down with ague fever when their vessel was grounded and captured. But for this, they say, the Governor and his party would never have taken them.

An Extraordinary Petition-Bankers and
 Capitalists and Men of Wealth Protest
 Against Five Cent Fares.
 NEW YORK March 1.-One of the most ex- traordinary petitions ever presented to an executive official was sent from this city to Governor Cleveland to day. The elevated railway companies have through their officers and employees procured signatures to the prayer asking the Governor to veto the bill now before him which prohibits the collec- ton on the elevated roads of more than five cents for each fare. The petition is signed exclusively by the great bankers, merchants, brokers, railroad owners and spectators of the metropolis and contains perhaps the greatest array of such names ever put to any petition. The signers represent probably a billion dollars of the wealth of the city. The other six or seven billion dollars of the city's total wealth is so very widely distributed, and Is owned in such comparatively small sums, that the projectors of this petition could not have lived long enough to secure the sigma lures of the owners of that portion of the eommonality if they had tried, but it does not appear that they made any effort or had any desire to obtain that kind of signatures. The names of interested persons which do not ap- pear on this petition would include those of nearly every tenant of New York, nearly every actual customer of the elevated roads and nearly every man on Manhattan Island who ever actually goes to the polls and votes. To-day's petition is signed by men who have chefs de cuisine, who live in streets sacred from the structure and noise of elevated roads and who go to their luxurious offices down town and thence to their palaces up- town in their own coaches. petition Tn favor of five cent fares would be eagerly signed by the people who carry dinner palis, dinner baskets, dinner boxes or sandwiches with them when they go to thelr dally occu. nation. and by those tens of thousands or the city's population to whom every cent or expense involved in getting to and from work ia penny added to their already bioI, rents The Governor is petition ed by rich New Workers who are ;ndenendent of the elevated roads and do not use them to make the poor, who need them and have to use them in the en- deavor to earn living, pay high fares It is the first instance in the history of New York in which the rich people of the city have ar rayed themselves in a body on question in which they have nothing but speculative in terest against the poor, whose personal in terests in the question is very material and almost vital. The action of the Governor is awaited with impatience. The following is the petition:
