A PARROTS GRIEF.
The Curious Phenomenon Observed In An
Intelligent bird.

The Curious Phenomenon Observed In An
Intelligent bird.
. In the Rerue Scic,,tifque, M. de La
caze-Duthiers describes curious phe-
nomenon which he has observed in a
parrot belonging to him. The bird is
very intelligent, having an excellent
memory for his friends and his enemies;
Of this trait and other marks Of intelli-
gence the writer gives several instances.
The point of the article, however, is
this: The parrot has manifested an ex-
traordinary affection for q little boy
named Raymond, but usually called by
the Southern diminutive, s.Momon.h
The child called M. Duthier's attention
one day to the fact that whenever he
played with the bird. the eyes of the lat
ter became quite red. When the bow
went away the parrot would call out his
name perpetually; when he returned, it
would walk to and fro on its perch. ex-
hibiting every mark OF extreme pleas
ure, and its eyes invariably grew red.
At such times it would allow no one.

u would not eat its most favorite food.
When the boy hid himself for a mo-
ment the eyes became yellow, but sud-
denly Redeemed again when he reap
poared- This phenomenon was observed
only with this particular child. and with
NO one else When the boy went to
school, or when the bird was brought to

system was accepted as cheaper than
outhouses. There will be seven

awaiting the completion of specifica.

cording to the estimates of the archi,

The foundation will be of stone

THE CATHOLIC DEGREES.

The DEGREES enacted by the Plenary
Council at Baltimore, and sanctioned
by the Pope, have been made public.
Among the several provisions and pro-
hibitions made by these DEGREES are
these which we propose to notice,
stating distinctly at the same time,
that while we believe in perfect free
dom of religion, we as firmly believe
in the eternal enforcement OF Church
and State.
The decree prohibiting divorce by
the courts or laws of the States, is
wrong. The Church has no authority
to dictate that that shall not be done
which the civil laws of this land pro-
vide shall be done. The Church has
no grant or authority from the people
of this country to interfere in or d.
rect any civil relations between citi-
zens of the country. If it has power
to do so as TO the marriage relation,
it has the same power to declare what
shall or shall not be murder, or treason,
or, as to that, to say what color shall
be chosen for ones gown.
The decree against secret societies
is Objectionable, in this country, be-
cause there are multitudes of people
who believe in secret societies, that
are generally benevolent. And, be-
sides, it is in bad taste for the Catho-
lie Church to object to them as long
as it advocates the secrecy of the con-
fessional, etc.
The decree as to parochial schoo
near each church is well enough, in sc
far as it does not imply opposition tc
the public school system of this coun'
try, but beyond that it strikes at thu
foundation of this governments sta.
bility, and cannot stand.
Some other DEGREES of a less strik
ing character may be we'll enough
but as a whole the "decrees", as pro
mulgated, are unsuited for application
in the United States, no matter hoy
we'll they may snit in Italy and othe
lands where liberty and progress ar
not known as they are here, AM
where the church is established on 9
permanent instead of 'smissionary'
basis.
