up to emancipation times, or rather
the close OF the war, mocking birds were
plentiful everywhere in Georgia. Du.

forbidden. The negro became an enthu.

exceptions, are not wing shots, and they

My observation has been that few, very
few negroes will pass. gun in hand. any
thing that has feathers and is large
enough to cook; and this is borne out by
the fact that the bluejay. the wood.
becker and the catbrd are disappearing
from the fields and woods almost as fast
as the mocking bird proper.
The destruction Of the mocking bird
has been more rapid because his nest has
been Systematically robbed by parties Of
both colors for private gain or gratiica-
ton. A year or two since we noted one
shipment Of these birds from Savannah
which contained 800 or zoo. Upon the
streets Of this and all other cities they
are openly sold every summer.
The loss of these birds and others not
named from the fields is very unfortu.

\ Critic Criticized.

The New York Critic is the victim Of
a clever fraud. Not long ago il printed
"A poem which was alleged to have been
the work Of Edgar Allen Poe. II was
accompanied by piteous tale relating
how that Poe penhed his poem ut rural
hotel once upon time when he was in u
condition of magdlin drunkenness. This
isah very touching, but II il hoax all the
same. The poem entitled "I.e0nainie"
was written by James Whitcomb Riley
about ten years ago, when he was en-.
ployel as local editor of the Weekly
Democrat at Anderson, Ind. At that
time Riley was struggling hard for re.
c0}nltion, and because he did not sue.
eccd at once he fell into a fit Of great dis
gust and inveighe,l bitterly against the
public for refusing to recognize good

and printed the verses in the kokomo
Dispatch, a neishboring paper. Az soon
as the poem appeared Riley, in order to
cover up his own tracks, denounced il as
a base forgery, declared that Poe never
