to lend him fifty dollars.

entered, dry goods store and inquired
if the hard times might not pinch the
bank. He entered d drug store and
offered his certificate of deposit for ten
dollars. He met a lawyer and inquired
if receiver had been appointed to look
out for the interest of depositors. Next
morning he was ut the door of the bank.

Before noon the bank was cleaned out and

Tired Birds.

Many Of our birds fly several thousand
miles every autumn, passing not only over
Florida, where they might lind perpetual
summer, but over the Gulf and far beyond
into the great summer land of the ANA
zon; after short stay, returning again to
the north, some penetratingtO to the extreme
shores of the Actic seas. How the small
birds fly SO great distances is almost in
comprehensive, but have seen many of
cur small feathered friends on the little
Key of Tortugas, two hundred miles or
more from Cape Florida, the jumping off
place of the United States. Great focks
of them would alight upon the walls of
the fort, especially during storms, eyi-
IDENTIFY thoroughly tired; but the next day
they were up and away off over the great
stretch of the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea.
Numbers of the English birds and many
from Northern Europe make yearly voy-
ages down into the African continent. and
careful observers state that they have seen
the great stOrks so common in Germany.
moving along high in the air. bearing on
their broad backs numbers of small birds
that had taken free passage or were, per-
haps, stealing ride. In these wonderful
migrations many birds are blown out to
sea and lost, while others become 50
fatsgued and worn out that they will
alight upon boats. A New England fish
errnan, who in the autumn follows his
calling fourteen or fifteen miles out from
shore, informed me that nearly every day
he had four or five small birds as COM
panions They had wandered off from
shore, or were flying across the great bay
on the lower coast OF Maine, and had
dropped down to rest. One day the
same fisherman fell asleep while holding
his line, and upon suddenly opening his
eyes there sat little bird on his hand,
demurely cooking its head this way and
that, as ..if wondering whether he
was an old wreck or piece of drift-wood.

AN ALABAMA TRAGEDY.

One Sister Kills Another and 1IOrtaIIy
wounds Il Nephew,
Mrs Harvey and Mrs. Hughes are sisters
and wives of two well-to-do farmers in Coffee
county, Ala. They live on adjoining farms,
and the intimacy of their girlhood had
never been interrupted. A few days
ago Mrs Harvey's COW did some dam
age in the garden OF Mrs. Hughes, where
upon the latter drove the animal out, strik-
ing it across the back with a heavy stick.
When this came to the knowie lye OF Mrs
Harvey her rage knew no bounds, and she
started for the residence of her sister armed
with butcher knife.
When about fifty yards from the house
Mrs. Hughes met her and attempted an ex-
planation. Mrs. Harvey made a plunge at
her with the knife, Sen1ing it at one thrust
through her sisters heart. As the wounded
woman fell in an expiring gasp her son ran up
with stick and struck his aunt with it on the
head. The infuriated woman then turned
upon her nephew and began cutting at him
wildly. His screams attracted the attention
of others, who FASTENED to the scene aud put
a stop to the bloody work. Mrs. Harvey
was taken to EIva Jail, where she will be
held for trial. The boy was 50 badly cut

Hreaking a Mustang.

In an entertaining paper in the March
st. Nicholas entitled Among the Mus
tangs," Noah Brooks gives the following
graphic account of the methods of cap
turing and breaking the wild horse of the
prairies: Riding at full speed, the Mex
leans career over the plains like wild
men, whirling their coiled lariats, or
lassos, over their heads as they fly. Their
horses are covered with foam, and often
bleeding from the cruel spur with which
they are urged on. The earth trembles
under the tramp of many hoofs beating
the solid ground, as pursuer and pursued
gallop madly far and wide. Suddenly
the lariat sing through the air, its moose
opens itself and drops over the head of a
terrified fugitive, the hunters stecd in
stantly braces itself with its four feet and
drops on its launches so as to make an
anchorage, rs it were, for the caught mus
tang. And there is no escape now for the
captive.
THE hunter next blinds his prize, takes
a turn of the lariat around its fo-elegs,
forces heavy bit into its mouth, and at
once begins to break it to the saddle.
How do you suppose the poor mustang
feels when it finds itself saddled, bridled
and straddled by tyrant man2 In vain
it Jumps stif-lcggcd,' plungcs and
kicks No animal in the world has so
many tricks and antics as newly cap
trred wild horse; but man, its conquerOr,
is equal to all of these. In few hours,
the poor beast, SO lately free and care
less creature, wild rover of the bound
less plains, is reduced to abject subjec-
ton. Its spirit is broken, and though it
may still retain some of its native vicious
ness, it is the slave of its owner. Hence
forth it neverforgets the lasso. 1t knows
and breads the sight of one; and if it es-
capes, there is very little difficulty in
catching 1t again. But its rider, too, must
never forget that the hapless captive is
only half tanned. He must watch it mar
rowly; for often afterward, when he least
suspects such insubmission, the steed he
rides will ny to throw him, and will
struggle under the saddle as if it were
but newly shared"
