Ayers Sarsaparilla thoroughly cleans
es the blood, stimulates the vital func-
tions, and restores the health and
strength. No one whose blood is impure
can feel well. There is a weary, languid
feeling, and often a sense of discourage
ment and dependency. Persons having
this feeling should take Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla to purify and v~italize the blood.

In South America there is q very beautj
full bird called the agaIni, or the golden
breasted trumpeter. II is about as large In
the body as one of our common barn-yard
fowl, but as it has longer legs and longer
neck it seems much larger. Its general color
10 black, but the plumage ON the breast is
beautiful beyond description, being what
might be called iridescent, changing, as it
continually does, from steel-blue to red
gold and ghttering with metallic. luster.
In its wild state the agami is not peculiar
for anything but its beauty, its extraordi-
nary cry, which has given it the name Of
trufnpeter, and for an odd habit Of leapina
with comical antics into the air, apparently
for its own amusement. When tanned, how
ever, and II soon learns 10 abandon III
wild ways-it usually conceiyes q violent at
tachment for its MASTER and, though very
Jealous Of his affection, enaeavors 10 please
him by solicitnie for the well being Of al
that belongs TO him. which may fairly hel
termed benevolence.
It is never shut up a. night a. the ether
Fowl are, bat, with well-dcserved liberty,
is permitted to take up its quarters where u
oleases In the morning, it drives the ducks
to the water and the chickens to their feed
lng-ground and if any should presume to
wander, they are quickly brought to asense
of duty by sharp reminder from the strong
beak of the vigilant agami At night, the
faithful guardian drives its. charge home
again.
Sometimes it is given the care of q flock
of sheep; and, though it may seem too
puny for such task, it Is in fact quite
equal to it. The misguided sheep that tries
10 trihe with the againi soon has cause to
repent the experiment; for, with q swiftness
unrivaled by any dog, the feathered shep-
herd darts after the runaway and with
wings and bealS drives 1t back TO its pliice,
not forgetting to impress upon the offender
a sense of its error by pecks with its beak,
Should dog think to take advantage Of
the seemingly unguarded condition Of the
sheep and approach them with evil design,
the agami makes no hesitation about rush
ing at him and giving combat. And it must
be q good dog that will overcome the brave
bird. Indeed, most dogs are SO awed by
the fierce onset Of the agami accompanied
by its strange cries, that they incontinently
turn about and run, fortunate il they escape
unwounded from the indignant creature.
Al meal-times it walks into the house and
takes its position near its master, seeming
20 ask for his caresses. 1t will not permit
the presence of any other pet in the room,
and even resents the intrusion Of any serv-
ants not belonging there, driving out all
Others before it will be confronted. Like q
woll-bred dog, il does not clamor for food,
but waits with dignity until its wants have
been satisfied. --F,vps +" Benevolent Birds"

JOURNALISM.


Joe Howard writes to the Boston Herald:
New York journalism understands dis
hnctly that after nearly quarter of centu-
ry's service in the Ne,o York Herald dur
ing twelve and one-half years of which he
was Mr.. Benefits confidential adviser, Mr.,
Connery, well based in worldly goods, tired
and half inclined to accept tempting OPP
portunity in another line of business, ten
dered his resignation to his employer Cos
zip has Extensively said that Connery was
1ismissed-a lie which was coupled with
the suggestion that there was some grave
business charge laid at his door And in
confirmation of this rumor it was remarked
that nothing was said by the Herald con-
corning his departure. There may be hero
and there a metropolitan journal TO whom
some one man is of such consequence that
his DEATH or resignation or removal, would
be fatal, or ut least be, in sense, seriously
detrimental, but know Of none. The New
York Herald lost the senior James Gordon
Bennett, and stands to-day ut the head of
American journalism. The Neio York Tai-
hume lost Horace Greeley, and is to-day q
potent factor In affairs. The New York
Times lost Henry J. Raymond, and can be
sold to-day for four times the amount Il
ever promised in value during Mr.. Ray
mond's lifetime. William @. Bryant was
made an angel at the expense Of the Zee.
ming Post, and the Post to-day is one of the
best properties in the city. A long line of
~
advertiser, which, in spite of the recent
death of its most sagacious conductor, Mr.
Hastings, is moving far beyond the horizon
OF its old-time prosperity. Very few people
have an idea which in any sense stands ON
all fours with truth concerning the import
ance or necessity Of individual talent on any
one of the great metropolitan dailies and
least Of all upon the Ne,o York Herald.
Whun Frederick Hudson, who was manager
during the present Mr.. Benefits boyhood,
waN retired on pension of $4,000, no
mention was made OF it, and when Mr.. Con-
nery who succeeded him, sent in his rsig-
nation e,,d was permitted by the present
proprietor to retire, att lnded by such PEE
cuniary arrangements as would bewilder the
malicious gnats who seek to sting him,
nothing was said of 1t. When John Russell
Young, the brightest writer upon the Her.
aid staff, was made Minister to China and
left the Herald, nothing was said of it. The
back bone. some years ago, of the Herald
staff was Mr.. Ivory Chamberlain; had he
simply retired from the paper nothing
would have been said of it he died, and of
course common courtesy, as well as his pro-
fessonal position in journalism, demanded
the customary obituary notice."
