A Shower of Birds.

Special to 50. Louis Globe Democrat:
A terrific rain and wind storm swept
over Central Mississippi, on the night
of the I'd inst. 1t came from 4 north
westerly direction and lasted several
hours, blowing down trees, fences and
outhouscs, and in some places washed
up corn and other seeds that had been
recently planted. The next morning,
at Canton and vicinity, a number of
strange birds were found lying, or
sitting on the ground, some of them
dead and others crippled from being
hurled against trees, houses and other
obstacles. Again others were found
apparently uninjured, although they
seemed unable or indisposed to fly any
considerable distance. Upwards of a
hundred of these birds have been
picked up, and, as they are entire
strangers to the locality, the SUPPOSE
ton is, that they were caught up on
the sea coast by the wind and waited
this way. They are certainly a species
Of sea fowl, and resemble the penguin.
They are about the size Of the teal
duck, have II head like the game
chicken and II bill like the crow. Their
legs are short and w~eb-footed; their
wings are also short. The feathers on
| the neck and back are black and dark
green, while those on the breast are a
bright silvery gray. The birds have no
tails, and the live ones were found
either sitting up or waddllng, and
made no effort to fly.

Cash for Old Letters.

GLOW do these people who pretend
to give advice and send medicines for
nothing make it pay?
"Strange as it may SEEM" replied
a physician, .the part of the business
which these quacSs advertise to do
for the good Of humanity pays them
nothing at all. They are like tho
Irishman who sold Eggs at a loss. He
sad it was the quantity that paid him.
The same way with these people. It's
the quantity that pays them. 1t isn't
the amount of medicine they send out,
either, but merely the number of let
tiers received, that makes that kind of
business profitable. How? Listen, and
III tell YOU. Take one case. 1t is
typical of thousands. Aperson writes
to one of these firms whose advertise
nents appear in every country paper
in the union. He may have liver COM
plant, or kidney trouble. Perhaps he
is ~dyspeptic, or suffering from some
other kind of disease. He resolves to
write to one of the ..philanthropists,"
and that's precisely what they want.
They are not after your custom, but
they do want your letter, for that is
the only understandable article in the
whole transaction.
sThere are houses in New York"

business to simply trade in these let
tiers. Many Il man, after having writ

people down east have learned his ad-

wrote to the medicine house. AS soon
as that especial firm had done with the
young man his and thousands of other
letters were sold for agood round sum-.

in China.

An Englishman residing at Pekin
writes to the London Times that the
position of Europeans in China is not
materially altered by the war with
France, because the people are ignor-
ant OF the affairs of State and have no
interest whatever in matters which
concern their country. With the ex-
ceptlon of the absence Of the French
Legation, European society in China
presents the usual features. Skating
has been the chief amusement of tho
winter and receptions and balls have
been common. Ignorance of the state
OF the war is the only vexation to
europeans, who are more concerned
than the natives seem to be.

The THANKS Of Congress.

Since the Government has been or
ganized there have been only thirty
four people named in resolutions OF
thanks by Congress. With three ex-
ceptions this honor has only been
paid to officers for great gallantry in
action during the war. The three ex-
ceptions were those of Capt. Ingraha.n,
Capt. Ringgold and Capt. Dahlgren.
In the first case, Capt. %Ingraham clear
ed his ship for action and rescued at
the cannon's mouth an American cit

Origin Of Arbor Day.

N. III. Eggleston. OF the forestry
bureau of the department of agricul-
ture, answers the question which has
recently been raised in many apers
"Who invented Arbor day?' Speaking
of the origin of the custom, he said:
"For the suggestion Of an annual tree
planting day we are indebted to ex-
Gov. j. Sterling Morton. of Nebraska.
Feeling. as the early settlers in the
prairie states could not but feel, the
lack of trees for fuel, lumber, and
shade, as well as to protect them from
the billiards OF winter and the scarcely
less uncomfortable hot winds of sum-
mer, they were almost compelled, as
one of their first necessities, to plant
trees to some extent. But this was
done in an unmethodlcal manner, and
was limited for the most part to the
planting Of a class of trees like the
cottonwood, of comparatively little
value. Gov. Morton saw that this I'M
systematic manner of planting would
never meet the needs of the rapidly
increasing populations, and the great
objects to be secured by Il proper sup
ply of trees throughout the state. Ac-
cordingly, lie suggested that Il particu-
lar day should be fixed upon in each
year to be observed as tree-planting
day, the object being to fix attention
upon the subject, to engage the people
generally in the work, and to stimulate
them by the knowledge that they were
engaged in a common and widespread
undertaking, and to give them an init
ial point from which they might carry
forward the work rs extensively as
they might be inclined to do. IL was
not designed to limit the work to a
single day in each year. 1t was further
to be stimulated also by the Offering OF
premiums by the state, by towns or by
agricultural or other societies, for the
largest number of trees planted. The
suggestion of Gov. Morton was well
received. The State Agricultural society
designated the Doth day of April. 1872,
to be observed as '.Arbor day." and
so generally was it observed that it is
claimed that twelve million trees were
planted on that particular day. Since
then it bas been regarded with increas,
ing interest. The governor Of the
state for the time being has. year by
year, made public proclamation of q
day for tree planting, and called upon
the people for its hearty observance,
and it is estimated that there are now
in Nebraska more than $50, 900 acres
of cultivated woodland. The example
of Nebraska has been followed b,
Kansas, Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, and
several other states, embracing some
that were once well wooded, but
whose forests have been to u great ex.
tent rccklcssly cut down and con
sumcd. AT the meeting of the Amer
lean forestry congress, in 1888, ;
resolution was adopted recommending
the appointment of Arbor day in al
our states and in the provinces anc
Dominion of Canada, and a committee
was appointed for the purpose o.
bringing the subject to their attention
This action has secured the further
adoption of Arbor day, and there il
reason to believe that in a few years
lis observance will be established
throughout the countrv."
