The hand of some woman had embellished
the collar by running strip of red ribbon

From an out-of-door paper by John Bur.

lowing
" The great bugaboo of the birds is the
owl. The owl snntches them from off their
roosts at night, and gobbles up their eggs
and young in their nests. He is veritable
ogre to them, and his presence fills then
with CONSERVATION and alarm.
One season, to protect my early cher.
ries, placed large stuffed owl amid the
branches of the tree. Such racket rs
there instantly began about my grounds is
not pleasant to think upon The orioles
and robins fairly shrieked out their

every direction, and apparently every bird
in town came to see that owl in the cherry.
tree, and every bird took cherry, so that
lost more fruit than if had left the owl
indoors. With craning necks and Mortified
looks the birds would alight upon the
branches, and between their screams would
snatch off cherry, as if the act was some
relief to their outraged feelings"

Carrying Petroleum on the seas.

The petroleum trade between the United
States and this country has hitherto been
carried on by means of ships which bring
the oil over in barrels ready for the market
1t has, however, been thought an advantage
would be gained by bringing the petroleum
over in bulk, and barreling 1t here. To this
end the Crusader of New York was pur-
chased aud fitted up with tanks, and has
just brought over her first cargo of oil,
which is being discharged in the Regents
Canal dock.
The Crusader is q bark of 642 tons regis
ter, timber built, and fitted with As cylin-
drical iron tanks, which are capable together
of carrying III, 900 gallons of OIL American
measure, or III, 400 gallons, English meas
ure. There are also eight auxiliary tanks
for use in case of the expansion of the oil
by variations Of temperature. The tanks
are all fitted in the cargo space of the YES
sci, and on deck is Blake steam pump of
5-horse power nominal, supplied with steam
from 20-horse boiler.
At New York the oil was brought along
side the ship in tank lighters from The re-
finery and pumped into the tanks on board
the Crusader In the Regents Canal Dock
the converse of this is now going on. The
oil-which is refined petroleum being
pumped from the tanks on board the ship
through about 100 feet of four-ineh iron
pipe, which has been laid under ground 90
the dock basin.
At this latter point the oil is discharged
into tank lighter capable of carrying $500
gallons. The oil is conveyed to wharf on
the Thames, where it will be baffelled for
the market. The tanks ON board the Crusa-
der are all connected with each other and
with the pump by pipes,and valves, so that
they can be usei altogether in ssyeral
groups or singly, as may be desired. Should
This initial movement prove successful from
commercialpoint of view, it will materi-
ally modify the present system of ocean
transportation of petroleum, turpentine,
and other similar liquids -Logdoa Truth.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.
The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is overt
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full OF crowding fancies;
From song and tale and make-belieye
A web OF wondrous dreams they weave
And airy child romaEces.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon rises slowly;
The nursery lamp is burning faint:
Each whlte-robed like little saint.
Their prayers they murmur lowly.
Good-nightt The tired heads are ST.
On pillows soft reposing;
The dim and dizzy mist OF sleep
About their thoughts begins to cree.
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Goodnight While through the silent air
The moonbeams pale are streaming,
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
Blow out the light and shut the door,
And leave them to their dreaming.

1t is curious thing that the capital of

Of work which prevail in foreign cities are

appearance at his Office at 10 o'clock in the

just the most valuable part of the working

American gets fairly warmed up to his
work, is certainly very surprising. But 1t

ment at tho Detroit Opera House in BARLEY
Campbell's drama, my Partner" Many old
theatre goers were observed among the largo audi
euce present, and the applause aud laughter were

MY Partner is one of the best Western dramas
ever written, and it could not be better produced
than it was last evening. A long notice of either
actors or drama could not be written without 60
ing over ground that has heretofore been well
travelled and hence long notice is unnecessary.
Mr.. Aldrich as Joe Saunders has mellowed the

sents the character perfectly rounded out and
was not stacy or artificial.
