The sun says: III the Democrats are
resolved to identify themselves with the
great whiskey speculation, and to have
their share OF the millions Of money that

decisive way Of making il known. Let
them vote against Samuel j. Randall as a
candidate for Speaker, That will settle the

off Greystone the ATLANTA WAS several

Of the Yosemite, in conversation with re-

sary to protect the fruit-trees with huge
nets. Tie extent of their flights through
the air is something astonishing. They
sometimes drop to the ground and hop
along with a shutting kind of leap, but
if they are alarmed, they spring to the
nearest tree and in moment roach It's
top by a series of bounds. Out upon
the branches they dart, and with rush
are off into space. Sailing through the
air like some great bird, down they go
obliquely, swift as an arrow, hundred
and fifty feet or more, rising again in a
graceful curve and allghting safely on O
distant tree. In these great leaps they
carry their young, which cling to them,
or sometimes follow them in their head
long fight, uttering hoarse and piercing
cries. The colugos live almost exclu-
sively on fruit, preferring plantains and
the young and tender leaves of the CO.
Goa palm, though some writer's aver that
they have seen them dart into the air
and actually catch birds. The flying
lemurs are perfectly harmless, and SO
gentle as to be easily tanned. They have
lovely dark eyes and very intelligent and
knowing faces.
