The State committee was also authorized to place on the electoral ticket five anti=monopolists with eight Butler men to be selected from the Greenback ticket, of which the latter is made up.

The mOckfnE Birds.

The Houston, Tex, Post publishes con- versation in which the partieularities of mocking birds are discovered. from which we copy the following extracts
 'I have heard it stated that the old birds will kill the young ones after they have been
 taken from the nest and caged. Is that true?"
 "Yse. There is no doubt about it. have seen it done time and again. If the old birds find where their young have been taken they will come right in the house and bring them food ss regularly as they did.when they were in the nest. They will do this for five CT seem to despair of liberating their brood and deliberately kill them.''
 "How do they kill them ?''
 'They give them poison. I have known them to fail yet, and they never postpone the killing more than eight days. I don't know what they use, but it does it's work well and kills every time"
 Are they easily taught ?'
 "YeE, very but they soon drop what they learn and pick up something elsa. It is not often they learn entire tunes, though I have known of one or two accomplished bicds that could sing an entire tune very correctly. A young gentleman of this city had 8 re- markedly fine singer that could whistle the entire tune Dixie from the first to the last note correctly. He took the bird to Canada with him one summer, and 1t was so much admired that he was constantly besieged by persons to purchase it. One gentleman off, fered him $500 in gold for the bird, but he refused it and returned home with his pet, which is desd nov, believe"
 ''Has the mocking bird any song of it's own?"
 No; had never thought of the fact until one day I was over in the court house when case was being argued. young lawyer who had just moved here, made very flow cry speech, which was replete with classical allusions and quotations. When he sat down. old Steve Tompkins, one of the most brilliant orators at the bar, rose and answered him and said: May it please your honor. our young friend there reminds me of mecking bird, which steals the song of every bird in the forest and has no note of it's own.' thought over the matter and discerned that it was true. The mocking birds are simple lmitators and have no originality"
 'Are they affectionRte7" asked the dramatic editor
 ''Yes, and sometimes they give the strong est proofs of their likes and dislikes. Some years ago there was young physician here who WAS loved by all on account of his gentle loving disposition. Among his more hum ble but not less devoted admirers was mock ing bird that had been born and raised in his garden. The bird took the greatest fancy to him, and when he returned home in the eve- ming would hop round his front steps and then fly to tree near by and sing for hours at a time. The bird appeared to be in an ecstacy of delight whenever the doctor was at home. Finally the yellow fever broke out here; and, among others, the doctor was stricken down. He fingered for four days and died. On the night before his death the | watchers at his bedside had their attention 1 attracted by the mournfuI sohbino notes that the doctors bird' Gas they called it) | uttered throughout the night.
