Txs New York Sun is - the opinion
tlrat the educational standard ieT gdmis-
sion to the military academy at West
Point should be very much raised. 1t says
only such knowledge as mere schoolboys
possess is required now. Admitting the
correctness of this statement, the New
York World thinks the low standard qpite
praiseworthy, inasmuch as the boys OF the
4 armers who have no opportunities to get
the advanced education that our contem-
porary says should be necessary, may now
get there. II would be a misfortune to
raise the educational standard sothat none
hut the sons Of rich men could pass.

The Louisville and Nashville Ahead

Again.
Cincinnati Neacs-Journal: 1t is rumored
that the Louisville and Nashville Company
have decided to establish a bureau of i'm
migration and general land agency either
in Louisville or Cincinnati, for the pur-
pose OF turning, as far as possible, the tide
of immigration which is Just now rushing
pell-mell toward the treeless prairies of the
far west, to the rich valleys and table
lands on the lines of thescompany's road.
Sub-agencies will be established in the
principal centers in the East and in Eu-
rope, and printed matter descriptive of
the country to which the attention of
home-seekers is invited will be distribu-
ted gratuitously, and such other informa-
ton as one would naturally want concern
ing the advantages offered by the region
of country described in the pamphlets
will be furnished free of charge. 1t is
understood that the company will invite the
people of every county tributary to their
system of railways to furnish the bureau
with description in detail of all lands
| for sale or rent and the price per acre of
the same, products of the soil, ), kind of
timber, distance from good markets, popu-
lation, school and church privileges, etc.,
which the company will undertake to put
in pamphlet form and distribute through
the bureau and its agencies. At the princi-
| pal agencies in the East and in Europe
| specimens OF fruit, vegetables, cereals,
| cotton, grasses, woods and minerals from
along the line of the system will be on
| exhibition to show that the land is rich in
everything that the farmer, the mechanic,

find in a, to him, new country. That the

EaBLrs oe gHE CUCKOO.

OF all bjcds, the habits Of Che vagraut
cuckoo have afforded the widest had
almost said the wiidest-held for speeuia-
ton. Among ornithologists there is hardly
q writer of note, sp author or compiler,
who has not brought 20 the general heap
his stores Of facts and iancies. As Mr..
Hsrting truly says Considering the
amount OF attention which has been be-
slowed upon tine cuckoo by naturslists in
every age down 30 che present, one might
readily suppose that every fact in connec-
ton with its life history was now pretty
generally known. Bat such IS not the case.
There are still certain points which require
investigation, and which, owing chiefly to
the yagrant habits of the bird, are not
easily determined. He might have ex-
pressed himself in stronger language, snd
zaid, with Prof. Newton, that, ''of no bird
have more idle tales been told" But we
wish the author had recorded more OF these
tales" for though some are most fanciful
like the theories Of the learned German
who, having discovered thirty seven varie-
ties of the egg, asserts that the cuckoo de-
posts them according to their form and
color in the nests OF thirty seven species of
bird-other "tales are by no means
eide" but are the result Of observations
which yet remain TO be verified, or facts
for which no reasonable explanation can be
afforded. By what process of " develop
ment, for instance, has it become the in
variable habit of this singular bird to
| transfer her maternal cares to foster-
parents of another species It has been
arpued-not very logically-that the bird

not properly care for its offspring,

| for themselves. Anstomists have proved
and their theories, il not convincing,
are at least ingenious, though they
unfortunately omit the argument from
disuse - that from physical causes
the bird is not fitted for the usual duties of
maternity. apparently there is sufficient
proof that the cuckoo lays its egg upon
! The ground and carries it in its mouth TO
the nest OF its foster.parent whom 1t de-
signs TO honor for, not only has the action

the par Mt bird could not have introduced
herself. But is there any selection exer-
cised Does she carry IL about until she
finds a nest with eggs so far resembling 1t
that the contrast will not excite toe par
ticular attention? Or, ike a visitor at the
seaside, has she already tested the merits
of various apartments before she ar
ranges for her young ones? When placed
under other care does she desert it utterly,
or does she revisit the cradle to eject the
rightful occupants if she finds there in
sufficient room for her own intrusive prog
eny! Or is that murderous business in.
