Greene Smiths Birds.

A friend of the family told me last
week that the commissioners having
charge of Central Park, in the city of
New York, had lately eXerted them
selves to secure the transfer from Peters
b0ro, New York, of the collection of
stuffed birds left by the late Greene
Smith. OF the value of this museum of
ornithology there is no doubt. In the
number OF varieties, the skilled charac-
ter of the taXidermy, and the arrange
ment and index of the specimens, it has
not its equal anywhere in the world.
The eccentric naturalist, whose quick
aim in all lands brought down the larger
part of the birds to himself afterward
mounted, is said TO have spent S2OO,OO0
in its collection. The collection of hum
ming birds alone is valued at 100000. OF
the seventy or so specimens, Mr.. Smith
had obtained all but ten.
Since his death, four years ago, the
rustic house on the old homestead in
which these silent companions of his
| last hours are preserved, has not re
ceived the care which il was wont Ia
| receive when its master lived. Nobody
ever sees it. Once in while, to be sure
Il naturalist who having heard of the
collection, strikes out of the beaten path
of travel and visits the little village in
the heart of Madison, is admitted by the
lodge Keeper. But for the remainder of
the year this wonderful display of the
birds of the air lies out of range of adj
miring vision. But there is small
chance of its ever going to New York.
Ii will be remembered that the owner
offered it to Central Park not long be-
70 @ he was carried out ofhis bird house
to his grave.
The authorities into whose hands the
letter fell not happening to know the
value Of the gift which Greene Smith
proposed to make the city in considera-
zion gifts being called after him, neg
lected to respond at once. They subse-
quently explained with chagrin that
they thought somebody proposed Ia
send them case of stuffed birds. Being
enlightened later that it was an orni-
theological collection, the most com
plete in the world, they FASTENED to ac.
cept. lrate at the delay, the petulant
owner, proposed on his last pillow, sent
back reply more forciblo than polite.
1t is not likely that his widow viii fee
ut liberty to part with the collection sc
long as she lives.-lSyracuse Standard

The Striking Miners.

PIrisBTRG, Aug. l6.-The miners
strike in the Fourth assumed a serious
aspect to-day, and great fears were en-
tertained of an outbreak. The failures
OF NeeIs men to come ont Of the mines
TINS morning as promised had depres-
sing effect upon the strikers and rumors
that Deputy sheriff Mcclure who had
been guarding Nees property
10 persuade miners to stay ut work
eX ilted them almost beyond control of
the leaders. Threats loud and deep
We're made against Mcclure, and it was
with the greatest difficulty, that Presi-
dent Costello prevented them going in
and mobbing the supposed Of
fender. They make no Of
fort to conceal the bitter feeling
and some assert the avowod intention
now to the first request Of the work ing
miners to join them, and if theV
retuae, to resort to more effective
measures, but what the measures will
be they refuse to say, Several cases
OF intimidation are reported to day by
the men ON the way to work.
one miner says he was surrounded bv
twenty men who threatened to do him
bodily harm If he went to work. The
citizens sre complaining that the strikers
demand food and accompany the re-
quests with threats as to what they viii
DO ifnot secured. If the demands and
threats continue they assert
the strikers have to abide
by the consequences. Tonight Deputy
Mcclure made information against six
strikers, charging them with c0nspiring
to assault and disturbed the peace.
The arrests will be made at once and
trouble is anticipated.
A Dispatch from Coal Centre, Pennsyl-
vania says. Officers Mcclure,
Reilly, Shmler, Pressly and Forsythe
went into the camp tonight and ar
rested James bowler and BENJAMIN
Ryan, the only two they could identify
AZ having been concerned in the intimi-
| datlon. They were taken to
town and released on $500 bond each
| The miners here tclegraphed to the
lower pools for reinforcements, and bv
Monday 800 men are expected. There
is great excitement, but no demonstra-
ton. A warrant has also been issued
for the arrest of miners by President
Castillo.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. l5.-.Cor-

runs high in Little Rock this week and
certain complications increase the heat,
Monday night the Democratic county
primaries called out one of the largest
assemblies ever seen here, and Demo-
cratic joy and good will prevailed. All
the delegates selected are satisfactory,
being representative gentlemen.
Tuesday the Republican primaries
were held in the county aud city. The
meetings were largely attended, and the
delegates generally sent uninstructed.
In regard to a compromise ticket,
much difference of opinion prevails.
republicans out number the Democrats
from twelve to fifteen hundred and they
are not favorable to the measure, but
certain Democrats have winning WAYS,
and some have generally come out ahead
in the end.
The Democratic county con-
NentiOn met at T. o'clock yesterday,

made and conference committee of 25
appointed. Convention adjourned until

sian sailor, wearing the United States
Navy uniform and having the name
Bear upon his cap, was captured by
a reporter this morning. The sailor said
that he was one of the crew of the
Bear" that he assisted in preparing
the bodies of the Greedy party at Smiths
Sound for burial and in placing them in
their collins; that all the bodies, except
one, had pieces of flesh cut from them,
and the survivors told him that where
the flesh was missing it had been frost
bitten. On being asked for his name
the sailor inquired whether IL was for
the newspapers, and refused to give it,
saying that they told him at the navy
yard that he must not tell his name or

interested in the move,and ifthey deter
