The King of Siam, on February 5th,
issued an edict abolishing slavery in
his kingdom. Henceforth there can
be no slaves in Corea, save those who
voluntarily, because of poverty or
otherwise, sell themselves; but the chill
dren of such are to be free born. 1t is
estimated that upwards of half of the
population of the kingdom are slaves.
OF this number many have deserted
their masters and fled to the country
districts, where they are successful
farmers; but the system of slavery was
such that even the son or grandson of
a former master could legally seize the
property of any slave or his descendant
who had been at any time connected
with his family. All this is now abol-
ished.

Several teeth were missing and three

A Maine fisherman, who used to sail
the Southern seas, reports that he saw
a sea serpent the other day off Wells.
1t was like one he once saw in the
Caribbean Sea, except thatit has grown
considerably. 1t held its head, the size
of barrel, high in the air; its eyes, as
big as saucers, cleaned with marvel
lous' light, and its huge open mouth
was armed with triple rows of teeth.
The paper that reports this says the
old salt is not addicted to drink.

HE NEVER VOTED.

John Mclean Hayward, resident
of Wayland, Mass, left an epitaph to
be engraved on his tombstone as fol-
lows: "Here lies a man who never
voted OF such is the kingdom of
Heaven"
John Mel Hayward must have had
strange idea of who were to be the
occupants of the future abode of the
blessed. The citizen of every country
has a duty to perform or owes fealty
to the lawfully constituted authorities.
In our country man who never votes
has not performed the obligation that
rests upon every citizen. He may not
always vote for the best, but when he
does it with an honest endeavor to
know the right, but even if he fails, he
has done his duty The man who
shirks responsibility because there are
those who vote wrong knowingly, is
not worthy of citizenship. If not a
good citizen, then not a good Christian.
knowing there are evils and corrup-
tions in voting, the duty of good cit.
izen is to counteract it by his vote, and
so far as the power within him lies, to
rectify such wrong This we assume
to be the higher type of citizenship
as well as a Christian virtue, exalted
far above one who relegates to himself
superior virtues because he has moi
practiced a duty because another may
have committed evil by the same
means.

THE SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.

A member of the American Ornithol-
ogists' Union has been interviewed by
New York Herald reporter concern
ing the destruction of birds in the
United States. A committee of the
Union is to investigate the best method
of stopping the slaughter.
The birds that are most used by the
New York bird dealers are our sweetest
singers and most industrious worm
catchers. Among them are the orioles,
red-birds, cedar birds. goldfinces, blue
birds, redstarts, vireos, cherry-birds,
bluejays. red-winged black birds, bobo-
pipers, goldwinged woodpeckers, in
sect-killing nighthawks, robins, shore
larks, thrushes, whippoorwills, white
herons, egrets. much sought for on
account of their long, graceful plumes,
and terms or sea swallows. An
ordinary dealer in the country will sell
10000 birds to his city customers in a
single season. Many of the larger job
bers handle from 10000 to 10000 birds
a year each. On Long Island and in
New Jersey AN Immense number of
birds are killed every season. A single
neighborhood on Long Island will send
from 300 to 500 birds to market week.
A single village in the back country
ships from $4,000 to so, 900 birds during
a Summer When the season is at its
hight from 5000 to 10000 birds are
daily received by the New York tax
idermists. A woman agent down in
the quiet State of Maryland has been
/ known to collect $4,000 birds (nany of
them the sweet singing Baltimore or
ioles) and ship them to Paris in a sea
son. The islands along the seacoast
between Philadelphia and Fortress
Monroe are Systematically robbed of
their birds for the benefit of thought
less, fashionable women. Wings of
handsome birds are quoted in the Bal
timore papers at from thirty cents to
81 apiece, and birds eggs from five to
eight cents each. In Washington the
daily papers contain half-column ad-
vertisements giving particulars of
beautifully-colored birds wings and
breasts, which are offered for sale by
the dozen or gross.

A couple from Bangor, Me-, were
married near Boston, some weeks ago,
and started homeward by rail, leaving
their gifts to follow in the steamer
City of Cambridge, which went to
pieces on the coast of Maine. They
have recently learned that the box of
presents had drifted ashore, and that
the table silver-ware was in use
among the fishermen all along the
coast, while the less serviceable pic
lures and ornaments decorated their
cabins. The owners have gone in
quest.

Southern Pacific narrow gauge railway
extention that is being pushed at AL

the War Department.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-General Hazen,
 chief signal officer, proposes to reorganize the
 signal service and has submitted to the Sec
 retary of War plan in the shape of a care fully prepared bill in which he proposes to
 establish the signal service 8 bureau of the War department having charge of weather predictions, army signal duty and military telegraph lines The officers of the bureau under General Hazens plan will be as at present, a chief signal officer, with the rank of brigadier general, an such commissioned officers. sergeants and privates as are now provided by law. In communication to the Secretary of War accompanying the pro- posed reorganization General Hazen states that the scheme is prompted by experience and careful observation. Whatever the sig nal service has done and is now doing, he says, has been the result of disconnected leg islation usually appended to appropriation acts, and while there is no doubt but that the scope of it's work is thoroughly defined, it would seem proper and of the highest inn portance that its organization should be fixed and it's work defined by consecutive clauses under one act of organization and establish ment, without which the service will con- tinue to be the subject of great embarrass- nent and criticism. General Hazen thinks some such plan is necessary, as on more than one occasion the legal status of the service l has been called into question, and an office charged with carrying out important matters under special acts of Congress should have 8 | fixed and definite organization and proper legal status.
