thing, but that Is Just what Nick Maher, ex.
sheriff of Dakota county, and X. l.. Ward, OF
this city, saw on Friday afternoon. These
two gentlemen were returning from Jackson
to this city, coming by the island road. When
about four miles miles out from Covingten. in
Colonel Orr's timber in Brushy Bend, they
saw on the trees ahead of them what they at
first supposed was flock Of turkeys. Coming
nearer they saw that the birds were not tul.
Ike but eagles, bald eagles, too. As they
caine close most of,them few Oh toward the
north and were hid by the timber. But six
remained. Among these six was one which
Mr.. Ward said Ooked, like sOid Abe ths
Wisconsin war eagle. This one craned his
neck us the two men passed directly under
the tree where hs .at, The men hallooed but
neither this white-headed veteran nor any OF
the six few of. Mr.. Ward says that there
were fully fifty euges in this flock. Their
plumage was not all alike, some being gray
headed and others with white heads. Both
gentlemen are conUdent that there Is no mis-
take about the identity OF the birds. They
were not fsh-hawks nor buzzard's bpt bald
eagles that they saw. 1t IS possible that these
bald eagles had been south 70 winter and 90
happened to come back In . body. The bald
eagle Is not entirely the noble bird that ne 10

MAKING CHEESE WITH BERRIES.
From the London Globe. }


Nature has, it appears, provided an admir-
able substitute for rennet In the manufacture
of cbdese, the article being the berry OF
plant known to botanists as seithdntd codgi-
l4ns. This shrub thrfves in the Pun'ab and
Trans.1ndus territory, and has long been
used by the Beloochees and Af2hans to curdle
milk. But its complete efficacy was not
demonstrated until lately, when the berry
was officially experimental with at farm
belonging to Sir James Ferguson. The pres
ent governor of Bombay. The report pub
ished by the government says that complete
success was achieved, perfect curd being
produced. and the cheese turning out In ex.
cellent in every respect The method Of
preparing the puneria-so Is the berry called.
from the Persian name Of cheese-is to put
some ounces into small quantity of cold
wafer, and to allow this to simmer by tho
side of fire for twelve hours. At the end
of that time about half a pint Of the decoetion
will suffice to curdle ffty-tive gallons of milk
the quantity Of berries employed being two
ounces. With view to the more extended
cultivation Of The shrub, an experimental
plantation is about TO be established ut the
government botanical gardens at Saharan-
pore. Perhaps it may De found to also have
a medicinal value as an astringent ;the natives

MORE APPROPRIATE

4 Soluersctshire rector says In letter to
the London Times: Il observe it is stated
that those attending the enthronization Of the
Archbishop of Canterbury on the 99th inst. are
requested to wear lilies of the valley in honor
Of Thomas aBecket. Before denuding their
conservatories for that purpose it might be ss
well that they should read Mr.. J. A.
Froude's mastery essay 1.-The life and times
Of that turbulent prelate. Perhaps they would
then come to the conclusion that sweetness
and purity were hardly the characteristics oil
Beckers person or humility, aud unobtrusi, G.

fortunately, not now in bloem) would bs tie

BIG LOT OF JAM.

A Brenriord jam-maker has succeeded in
getting 800 acres of land on Lord Sudeley's
estate of roddington Pa, X near Cheltenhanl,
laid down with fruit trees. thus showing how
very considerable the English home trade in
fruit preserves has become. We are told that
not less than l6I ,0U0 black currant bushes
have been planted, and some $4,000 goose
berries. with aspberry canes in great quanti-
ties. Top fruits also are no! overlooked, for
there are no less than 10000, So that the
orchard assumes gigantic proportions, and
when in full bearing will certainly enable
preserves in vast quantities TO be manufac-
tured. When the period Of the greatest
maturity is reached, it is proposed to erect
buildings for the manufacture OF Jams on tho
ground, so that long currage Of tender fruits
will be saved, and with that also much free
dom from waste and decay. To provide shei.
ter for the fruit not less than 10000 popars-
notoriously quick growing trees-huye been
planted

FIRST STEAMBOAT.

Acting On report presented by NJ. Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps, the French Academy Of
sciences has published the declaration that
the town of Baumr possessed the first stesm-
boat, which was narigated on the Doubs q
quarter Of century before Fulton tried his
boat, and that the important discovery of,ap-
plying steam power to the propulsion of yes
sells is due to y French savant, Claud de Jouf-
troy. A committee has been formed for the
purpose Of promoting the erection OF mon
ument to the latter In his native town of
Besancon. NJ. de Lssseps appeals to all
French seaport towns, ship-builders, ship
owners, steam navigation companies and
others TO participate in this act of rehabiiita-
tion, Of justice and of patriotism. II is que,-
ton, 1t is asserted, of glorifying in Claude dc
Jouhroy the memory of misrepresented
Frenchmsn, martyr of science aud bcne-
factor Of mankind.
