A Demonstrated Mocking.Bird.

Mr. w. c. Andrews showed the writer
mocking-bird perched on an adjacent tree
which had never been inside cage, but
was perfectly tame, and would come when
called and sit upon his wrist and eat from
his hand. 1t seems that when just nedged
and barely able to fly, Mr.. Andrews had
caught and ted it on one occasion, but re-
stored 1t to liberty again. To his surprise,
however, the next day the bird flew into the
store and was again fed. After this the
visits became regular, until finally the bird
became perfectly tame, and now will come
at call, even from the tallest tree. The
sweet little songster is the pet of the whole
neighborhood, aud hops In and out Of the
stores helping itself at will to what 1t wants.
This is the only instance of the kind, we be-
levc, on record.-[Savannah News.

Tailoring Abuses in tho Army.


EDITOR Critic: There is no branch Of the
service which has done more for the wants
and comfort OF the soldier than the Quar-
termaster's Department under the present
head, Brigadler-General S. B. IIolablrd. The
systematic way in which he has conducted
the duties Of his office has never been ex-
celled In this service. But one more
problem remains TO be solved, and then he
can rest with honor on the laurels he has so
well won. What wish to call TO his at
tention just now is the present system of
tailoring in the army. 1t is the most
damnable ever tolerated In any service in
the universe. 1t blackmails the soldiers
pay, and robs him OF the fruit of his labors
Cannot something be done to stay the hand
Of the ravisher, even III that department has
to borrow lesson from her sister beyond
the seaY There is no class of men In this
great American service who receives more
Of the soldiers money than the tailor, aud
for the service he renders to the Govern
ment for his pay as soldier It Is naught
but that OF q deadhead to the battery or
company. Now, thirteen dollars a month
to a private sounds fearfully to these dis
ting,iished gentlemen in Congress, but little
they arc aware Of Tor perhaps care) the de-
mands and claims that are made upon the

pay proper TO a tailor for the whimsical
notions Of other men; then add a company,
perhaps two or more, and you may get II
Slight glimpse OF the result. Company
commanders must have clothing TO SUIT
their ideas, then why not organize these me-
chancs into distinct part or corps In
themselvesp Look at the English, French
and German armies and see the result.
Would the following suggestions be OF any
service:
/. To authorize the enlistment OF GER
tain number OF enlisted men of the tailor
ing profession.
9. This class of mechanics to have the
pay and allowances OF an ordnance sergeant,
but not the rank, as this would imperil
them In discbargfng their duties properly.
Q. These men to be enlisted under the
same regulations as buglers or musicians
then, If found deficient or guilty of miscon-
duct, they could be transferred to the
ranks at any time on the recommendation
Of the post commanders.
4. A school to be set apart for their train.
ing at the recruiting rendezvous or other
grounds they may select, aud assignments
TO be made according to the strength Of the
post.
8. Their pay not to take effect until they
are thoroughly qualified to perform the
duties for which they enlisted, but in the
meantime let them get the pay and allow
aDce of q private.
The shilling day given to the English
man is clear of all expenses, whereas the
Yanks 43 cents probably belongs to another
before he receives It, Therefore, would
say, the sooner the change the better for the
benefit Of the service entire, aud he who
nccomplshes it will earn the lasting graft

this statement Of the general situation
demonstrates that the necessity of the
passage Of the bill was never greater
and never likely to be less than now.
1t is q time to forget party and sectional
ism and to assert comprehensive
craftsmanship and devoted patriotism.
The Chinese Minister has written
formal protest to Secretary Bayard
against the indignity to which his sue
cessor was subjected to, in being pre-
vented from landing at San Francisco
without much annoying delay and close
scrutiny of his passport. 1t appears
that Secretary Bayard had written to
the collector of the port of San Fran
cisco to extend to the new NJ mister and
suite every courtesy and attention upon
their arrival. Instead of doing this the
surveyor deliberately insulted the
incoming official The collector and
surveyor will probably hear something
official from this city that will interest
them both.
