SPEAKING SPANISH.
A Lost Parrot Establishes His Identity by
Talking Pure Castilian.


Talking Pure Castilian.
Washington Republican,
A friend of Miss Jessie Horton, of No.
TO l. street southeast, gave 40 her, about
two years ago, an educated poll parrot.
The bird spoke Spanish and English like
native of both countries, and was very
mischievous. Miss Horton and the parrot
became devotedly attached to each other,
and the bird soon became familiar TO the
neighborhood. About four months ago,
while Miss Horton was cleaning the cage,
the parrot escaped. Miss Horton was very
much grieved at the loss of her pet, and
advertised large rewards for it5 recovery.
but heard nothing of it. She did not give
up the search for it, however, and in the
course of her search saw almost every bird
in the city.
About week ago one of her friends told
her that colored man named Frank Guy
had parrot resembling hers. Guy is
tall colored man without hands, and keeps
a small grocery at 125 Third street south
east. Miss Horton procured a search war
rant, and yesterday Detectives Mattingly
and Edelin, served it. They went to Guys
place of business and saw the parrot. Guy
stated that be purchased it at Richmond
about four months ago. Several other per-
sons corroborated his statement, saying
that it was at the time of the excursion OF
the colored Chaldeans TO that city. The
detectives had some doubt about charging
Guy with larceny, ard took the parrot to
Miss Guy for Identification.
The bird was taken to her room, and as
soon rs he saw her began chattering and
screaming with delight.
Beautiful JESSIE" be said, scratch
poll's head" "Look out, "I'm back and
other similar expressions. It then began
calling Mother in Spanish, and, when
it had stopped tapping its wings and be-
came calm, carried on an animated conver-
sation in the same tongue. This satisfied
the detective as to the ownership, and the
bird was taken to police headquarters,
where it will be held until Guy is tried for
the larceny of the bird. Guys story is be-
lieved, and IL is supposed that some one
stole the parrot and took it to Richmond
where he purchased it. The bird is also at
tached TO Guy, and when taken from him
raised quite a disturbance with its cries.
Guy was released ON personal recogniz-

in the hands OF the House Of Representa-
tives, which after much strife and wrang-
hing chose John Quincy Adams President.
Jackson and the other disappointed CON-
petitors Of Adams burned with revenge.
When 1923 came round and Jackson took
the Presidential chair, he proceeded ia
the most narrow spirit to expel from the
public service every Wing odice-holder
and to supply their places with his own
followers.
The Democrats are now soon 10 come
into power again under circumstances
similar 10 those which surrounded jack
sons accession. But the era OF bitter
ness has been twenty-four years instead
of four. During that long period des-
perate war has been waged against the
Union and with those who fought to de-
stroy the Union Thomas A. Hendricks
was in open sympathy. Eight years ago
he was disappointed aspirant for the
yice-Presidency. Filled with the Jack
sonian spirit of revenge, it is not wonder
ful that Hendricks cannot conceal his
anxiety 10 execute 1t. 1t Is fortunate for
the country that it can hope that man
with at least more exalted views than he,
will occupy the first place In the nation.

THAR Michigan Democrats we're gamers
by the fusion with the Greenbackers dur
ing the recent campaign there can be no
question. Though the Greenbackers were
unable to assist them sufficiently to pull
their electoral ticket through, they helped
them to a much larger representation in
Congress and the State Legislature than
they would have otherwise had, and in
view OF these facts it comes with poor
grace when they kick and cuff their late
allies about as many Democrats are en-
deavoring to do. The Greenbackers have
gained little enough from fusion and they
should be permitted to enjoy what little
they have in peace.

crossings and drainage. Yesterday

commendable and praiseworthy, and
Is appreciated by the population
