ONE IN EACH BIRD.
How Feathers for Very Valuable
Cape Were Obtained.
New Haven Palladium.

Mrs. Sarah E. Champion, of 270
Crown street, has in her possession a
very curious and valuable cape or
mantle, which was presented by csn-
verted chief in the Sandwich islands
to the Rev. HeAry Bingham, who was
formerly a resident of this city and
the first missionary who went TO the
Sandwich islands from the United
States. Mr.. Bingham is the father OF
the Rev. Hiram Bingham, Jr., now
missionary of much prominence and
editor of tue Morning Star. The cape
is of the kind worn b. great chiefs on
special occasions. 1t is constructed of
crimson, black, and yellow feathers,
which are tied into the meshes of
fine net made of small braided strands
of seaweed. The crimson feathers are
obtained from the Mi Kun, bird that
frequents the coast, and the black and
yellow feathers arc obtained FROM
very rare bird called the 90, which
is found at rare intervals on the
mountains of the country. The plum>
age of this bird is jet black, with
the exception of single yellow feath>
err which is found under one OF the
wings. In the construction of this
cape several thousand of these feathers
are used, and years were consumed in
collecting them. There is but one
other cape of the kind III the country,
and that is the property of the Smith
sonian institute. This cape at the
Smithsonian institute is somewhat
longer than the one in the possession
of Mrs. Champion, and was presented
TO the society by the commodore OF a
fleet OF vessels that visited the islands
in 1878.

Kangaroo Killed by Bull Terrier,

A correspondent writes as follows
from Queensland: 1t was too hot TO

old and scaling just thirty pounds,

deHtly chased him some way. | gave
a loud ''tally-ho," and bore down on
him with Kit and the two other dogs.
The 'old man" saw us, and. instead
of running away, be came clean
through us and made for the water.
When he got down beside the water
he made a stand. The kangaroo dog
went at him first, but missed he got
a fearful kick and retired from the
contest, leaving Kit and myself to do
it for the beast. The other dogs had
cleared off as soon as he made stand
He was big brute, quite as tall as |
am lover six feeD. Kit had never
been at close quarters before with
this kind of game, so she bit him on
the joint of the leg, and got tremen-
dous kick for her pains, which sent
her flying. The old kangaroo then
grunted loud and long and, came for
me; but l had a good stick and caught
him under the ear, which made him
grunt again. Kit had recovered by
this time, and, making spring, nab
bed him under and just behind the
fore paw. "Kangi" got angry, and,
tucking her under his arm, hoped

drown his victim, who was hanging
on like grim death. | was into the
water above my knees before | knew
anything about it, in tremendous
state of excitement. Luckily for US
the water hole was muddy, and
"kangi's" legs got stuck; he swayed.
Kit gave another tug and brought him
down. AS soon as he fell she got
him by the throat and never let go
until he was dead. Ipulled him in
TO shallower water SO that "her LADY,
ship" could worry in her most approv-
ed fashion. l think she killed him as
much by drowning as worrying, for
at times Kits head and the kan
garoos were clean under water; then
she woald bring him up give him
shake, and down again. When he
was dead | cut off his ears and tail
and carried him up to the house in
triumph. The scalp is worth pence

three weeks, when we think that the
grief of the parents has passed over
somewhat, we get up memorial and
take it around 1t is solely on cur
own responsibility that we do it, and
we must run the risk OF not selling.
Sometimes people are indignant when
we approach them. but as a general
thing they buy. We sell them at IS

cents per week. Now, between you
