The Balance of Nature.

It Is risky to disturb the balance Of
nature, for if one animal is destroyed,
another which it keeps in check gains
the upper hand. The hawks, eagles
and other birds which preyed on the
prairie dog having been destroyed, the
burrowing marmot has increased so
enormously that whole districts in
America threaten to become worthless
for the grazicr. The game prcserver
shoots every accipterine bird, and i'm
mediately we hear complaints of a
plague of sparrows and other EVER
min, and no sooner are sparrow clubs
in good working order than the farmer
is impoverished by the increase of in
sects. II is equally rash to introduce
into new countries the animals strange
to them without at the same time inn
porting their natural enemies, as the
painful history of the acclimatization Of
the rabbit and the sparrow in Australia
so amply proves. In America the lat
ter Is becoming far too much at home.
Naturalized in the well-foundcd hope
that he would keep down the sworms
of insects which, owing to the extcr-
minaton Of native insectivorous birds
near the great cities, were becoming a
pestient evil, be has multiplied amaz-
ingly, until the farmers look on his WIS.,
It's to the maize fields with dread
which some experience of his taste for
Indian corn fully justiies. = London

But Whatever General Grant Needs He
Will Have, and That Is All
There is In II.
The Capitalists Of the County Know
What They Owe to Grant, and
VIII Discharge the Debt.

NEW YORK, December 30.--With re-
gard TO the alleged subscription in favor
of General Grant, Mr.. Cyrus w. Field
said yesterday afternon 81 am sorry
that anything OF this kind has got into the
newspapers for there is really nothing in
It. Mr.. Hoyt, who has an office in
this building just under this, came to me
and stated that General Grant was likely
TO need some assistance, and went up
and saw Mr. Vanderbilt with regard to
his claim. l did not find him at all
troubled. He told me that his claim
was $3.50, 900, but, he said: III you
are getting up subscription to
pa that put me down for 100000.
Mr.. Steve Elkins has been here to-day TO
see me, and you may say this, and say
that say it; General Grant will have the
money he needs. The rich men of this
country are fully aware that but for Gen.
eral Grant their property would not be
worth much and they are fully
aware that whatever of indi-
rection there may have been in the
firm Of Grant & Ward, General Grant had
nothing to do with it, and they don't
hold him responsible for it in any way.
We don't propose TO pour money into a
sieve, and are not going to pay the debts
of Grant & Ward; but whatever General
Grant needs he will have, and that is all
there is to it,
prominent broker said yesterday: 81
suppose it is all very well to make up a
fund for General Grant, but ! don't see
that there is any proposition to reimburse
the men who lost their all in consequence
of trusting TO Grant & Ward, who would
never have put in their money If the name
of General Grant had not been in the
firm. It's all right, expect,
and am glad he is not to lose anything.
AT the same time, | think it is unfortunate
that his name should have been connected
with that firm, for there is little doubt
there are many who have, through their
connection with that firm, lost their all ="

An incident in the life Of a small,
coarse colley dog was noted with great
interest the other day by residents in
the vicinity of Oakland Station, on the
Illinois Central Railroad Early in the
morning the dog followed its owner to
the station, and after vain attempt to
board the train conveying him to the
city took his seat on bench outside
the wall. There all day the animal re-
NAMED patiently awaiting his owners
return. The children in the neighbor-
hood remarked the little fellow and
made friends with him, but no coaxing
of theirs could induce him to leave the
bench, Several sympathetic women
joined their efforts to the children ,buJ
obtained only such thanks as a dog
could give for their pains. He held up
his paw to shake to several, looked
wistfully with his large brown eyes at
all his inquiry for his master. but re-
fused to quit the bench. Each train
that passed the dog mounted on the
wall and closely scrutinized, and seeing
not the familiar face he looked for re-
sumed his attitude of patient waiting.
Food and water were taken to him, but
he refused both. The afternoon grad
ually narrowed and the dog still waited
and watched, and darkness fell and the
lake breezes grew chill, still chung to
his post Business men. not few of
whom their wives and children had in
terested in the faithful animal, stopped
to pat him, but no inducement could
draw him from the bench. Late at
night the dog was still there listening
with wagging tail to the praise of man
who declared he wouldn't take 800 for
such dog

THE RECENT EARTHQUAKES.

THE RECENT EARTHQUAKES.
MADRID, December 30.--Fresh details
received from the districts in which the
earthquake shock was severest adds new
horror to the great calamity. At Nerja, a
town of 5000 people, in the province
of Malaga, the earthquake was fol-
lowed by hurricane. This
finished the destruction of many houses
which already had been brought to the
brink of ruin by the previous shock. The
inhabitants fed in terror from the houses,
and camped outside of town. Much suf-
fering is caused by the scarcity of provis-
ions. The alarm in Malaga is now SUBJ
sided, and affairs will soon resume their
ordinary course.
