A Defense Of the SparrOw.

port of an interview with William Il.
Smith, Superintendent of the govern
ment botanical garden AMI president OF
the District parking commission, and
who is said to be an authority on trees,
in which he makes strong plea in favor
of the sparrow claiming that to its rrrs'
encc here is due the continued existence
of some of the finest trees in Washing
ton, which without it would have been
destroyed by worms and other insects.
He also denies that the sparrow is re-
sponSible for the disappearance Of some
of the native birds. Some of these latter
he asserts are rural birds who have in.
stinctively sought the country as the
city has grown, and others, like the
humming bird, have hpt n sacrificed by
naturalist and the collectors for mil.

The weather and the Babies.

The recent hot weather has been very
hard on infants, and the greater num-
Der of deaths each week are of children
under two years of age. That terrible
scourge, cholera infantum, the result in
many cases of impure cows milk used
where the little ones are deprived of the
maternal supply, has already carried
off scores, and will continue 10 claim
its victims while the warm weather
lasts.
A lady who resides at Cape May was
on the steamer Republic yesterday with
her two months old child, which was
suffering with the disease. She had
been visiting friends in this city when
the little one was taken i'll, and she was
rndravoring to get home with it. Her
sister from Philadelphia was with her,
and as the little innocent babe lay
stretched ON a pillow across her lap il
seemed TO be gaSping for breath. 1t
was indeed II sad thought that amid
that gay multitude, intent on pleasure,
there was one mothers heart wrung
with anguish as she looked upon the
pale face. the bloodieSs lips and sunkcn
eyes Of her dying babe, and realized
hat She was powerless to assist it It
was afterwards reported that the child
had died before reaching the landiLg,
but AS the reporter was unable to again
find the parties in the vast throng, the
report could not be verified.

Political Notes.

The knowledge that Tilden is in the
field as a Presidential candidate creates
an amusing stampede among the
Democratic editors. Their comments
on the fact have "Well, we can't help
ourselves" air. They seem to take it
as matter of course that If 'rllden
wants the nomination there is no use in
resis ing him. The booming of all
other candidates is suddenly stopped Us
so much wasted effort, and the manipn-
lators who were industriously setting
up the pins for their favorites, cease
work and wait for further orders. Eri-

upon the Democratic party has never

uuently been done in former years. The
whole body OF delegates will doubtless
90 uninstructed. The only thing that
can be predicted about the convention
is that it will be animated by more
earnest purpose than has characterized
Republican conventions in Massachu-
setts for years past. The certainty OF
success had bred a dangerous indiffer-
ence there. Buffers election and an
tics in the executive chair may be a
blessing in disguise if they correc. this
evident tendency and awaken in the
Republicans of that State a liveiier in
terest in public affairs
The Iowa Democrats have been loudly
claiming that their prospects were
bright for carrying that State this year
The prediction was based upon the ex
ppctation that they would poll solid
party vote besides getting many dissat
isied Republican and German votes
Reports from the State show, however
that the Democrats will have to re-
wise their estima rs and take into the
account one factor which they failed tt

not get a solid Democratic vote for theil

Consul at Monterey, arrived in Laredo

late in charge of the Rev. Mr.. Shaw.
Yesterday dispatches were received

notifying him that on Monday night
the American ConslIl's office was
entered by a mob of Mexicans and that
Mr.. Shaw was attacked and beaten
nearly to death.
The furniture and papers belonging to
the Consul were destroyed. The infor-
nation created profound sensation at
Laredo. Citizens deplore the rupture
betwee the two Governments, but con-
slider the insult so bold that the United
States must resent it. An employee of
the Mexican National Railway who ar
rived last night says that Mr.. Shaw,
after being beaten senseless, revived
sufficiently to crawl to one Of the pub
lie hotels and give an account of the
outrage, but in few moments he again
became insensible, and at last reports
was still unconscious.

A Cats Odd Progeny.

The Norristown Times is responsible
for the following tough story " Yester,
day six guineas were patched out Oh
the premises of John Hellings, Penn
Square. The half dozen youngsters
were carried into the house and placed
in a cheese box near the kitchen fire.
A pet cat CHANGING to pass that way,
discovered the guineas and leaped INTO
the box. Persons who witnessed this
suspected Kitty of having designs on
the lives of the fowls, and FASTENED to
their rescue. But they were disappoint
ed, for they found the feline playing
with the guineas as though they Were
kittens
She was allowed to remain with them
for the entire day, during which time
she exercised a motherly care over
them, drawing them to her bosom with
her paws and exhibiting other signs OF
affection. In the evening Tabby felt
that her wards ought to have something
to eat, and ran off in search OF food.
She soon succeeded in catching a mouse,
which, after killing, she carried to
the cheese box, dropped it in and pro
ceeded to distribute it among the
guineas.
Several weeks ago the cats ot1sprin
were drowned, and since that time she
has been moroSe, going about the house
as thouah she would never become re-
conciled to her loss. Having been rob
bed of her own progeny and left with
out kith or kin upon which to bes'oW
her love, she doubtless looks upol
the guineas as substitutes sent by al
all-Wise Providence, and feels duly
grateful.

Anfi.TAsnnaranea

The English Salvation army, and es-
pecially its leader, General Booth, have
lately suffered severely in pocket and
reputation by the result of a lawsuit.
The landlords who sublet to him the
the sum of $1,000 were bound by GER
tain covenants which General Booth
agreed to keep. One Of these was that
the tavern should be used as u public
house, that the licenses for the sale of
intoxicating liquors should be dnl y re-
newed, and that nothing should be
done to furnish a reasonable ground for
withdrawing the licenses.
One action against him was dismissed
upon his affidavit that he was negOtiat-
ing with firm of brewers to take the
tavern off his hands, having ascertaiDed
that he could not conduct it as tem-
perance house. The moment the in
junction was dismissed, however, he
broke off his negotiations with the
brewers. retaining the tavern in his
own hands as temperance hotel and
hence the suit which has just resulted
disastrously TO him and his army.
The Judgment was that he had for
feited his lease and lost his 500, 600,
and the Court in rendering it said :
The defendant has been wrong from
first to last. He took thelease intending
from first to the evade one of its terms.
He solemnly engaged to keep the Eagle
Tavern as public house, and he must
have known what the substantial and
fair meaning of these words were. He
has tried to evade his obligation by an
unsuccessful legal bubble. 1t was not
honest
The alliance between the party and
the rum-sellers is 80 open and tiagrant
that many respectable Democrats are
announcing their purpose TO vote with
the Republicans. The latter have be-
liz we'd all along that the accessions they
would get from the Democracy would
nearly countrrbalance any losses from
Anti-Pr0hibition Republicans, and the
Developments thus far go to prove the
business of the claim.
