PARADISE BIRDS.


The Most Brilliant Kinds Confined to the
More Elevated Mountains.
The parrots of New Guinea are
numerous, the greater number of the
102 species mentioned in Count Saliva
doris work being met with within its
area As specially characteristic Of the
Papaun avifauna I may mention the
great black cockatoo with its enormous
bill, the dwarf leaf parrots with their
curious spiny tails, and the extraordi-
nary dasyptilus with its naked head and
harsh p1umage. Br~ush-tongued tories
of the most brilliant colors abound, and
are especially characteristic of the pa
paun avifauna, although by no means
restricted to it. Count Salvador in
cludes no less than forty species of this
group in his work. The picarian order
in New Guinea is composed mainly of
cukoos and kingfishers, both
of which groups are well repre-
sented. There is but a single
hornbill and q single bee eater. On the
other hand, it should be remarked that,
as in Australia, woodpeckers are alto
great array of passeres, of which no less

Salvadori's work. Among these fly
catchers. caterpillar eaters and shrikes
play an important part, as might have
been expected where insect life is SO
abundant, The honey eaters, q group
specially characteristic of Australia, are
likewise highly developed in New
Guinea Count Salvador enumerates
eighty-nine species. But the greatest
glory Of the papuan avifauna is the
family of paradise birds. These are, in
fact, a group of crows, in which the male
sex is decked out in the most gaudy and
varied plumage, and extraordinary Or
namental feathers of the most remark
able forms are developed from different
parts of the body. Taking the group
of paradise birds as understood by
Count Salvador, that is to include the
bower birds, we find about forty species
attributed to papua and the moluccas,
and one or two brilliant additions have
been made to the group since Count
Salvadori's work was finished. 1t is
certain from the Investigations of recent
| observers that some of the most brilliant
kinds of paradise birds are confined to
| the more elevated mountains, and one
of the reasons for predicting a contin-
uous range of high land between Mount
Arfak in the north and the Owen Stan
leys in the south is that some of the
birds of paradise previously only known
to exist in the highlands of the Onin
Peninsula have been lately obtained on
the Owen Stanley Range. = Nineteenth
Century.

An incident occurred in one of the
large dry-goods shops in Boston the
other day. the, consequences of which
are worth noting. A lady left upon a
counter a roll of bills, which the sales
man gave, with an account of the Cir
cumstances, to one of the cashiers.
Shortly after a man (who had probably
been an %observer) came up and claimed
the money, which was given to him; SO
that when the rightful owner came a
little later there was nothing for her.

evident claim, she brought suit, and the

Distress After Eating

Is one Of the many disagreeable symptoms of dys-
pepsia. Headache, heartburn, sour stomach, faint
ness and capricious appetite are also caused by this
very widespread and growing disease. Hoods Sar-
saparilla tones the stomach, creates an appetite,
promotes healthy digestion, relieves the headache,
and cures the most obstinate cases Of dyspepsia.
Read the following:

SAMUEL j. TlLDEN

In another column our readers will
find an account and likeness of Hon.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN. This year seems
to hold strange fatality for our
prominent men. One by one they are
passing away. General GRANT
first crossed the bridge, then SEYMOUR,
HENDRICKS, HANCOCK, KELLY, DA-
Wis and THOMPSON followed, and now
we are called on to lament the death of
the purest, noblest patriot of our
time.
Mr.. TILDEN was a man against
whom vile calumny never breathed
and whose spotless life was without
reproach. As statesman his views
were broad and patriotic.
AS politician, he was above the
carping littleness OF the party trick
ster. His were the politics which
strive to advance the cause of just
government.
When in 1876 the Republicans
cheated SAM'L J. TILDEN out of the
presidential chair, they did the worst
thing in their power against their
country.
He was man whose open antag-
onism to organized rascality has al
ways been known and admired. With
out making politics tool for self pro-
motion, he has always been a politi-
clan. Twice representative in the
New York Legislature, member of
the Constitutional Convention, Gov
ernor of New York, he held the i'm
plicit confidence of his people. His
exposures of the New York City ring
and the Canal ring were scathing and
effective. He believed he was serving
his party best in serving his country
best. s
Mr.. TILDEN belongs to that order OF
patriotic statesmen whom RUsKIN
would call "Men of Time in contra
distinction to the passing celebrities of
the hour. His eye took in the future
as well as the present, and he plan
ned for his people with an honesty of
purpose that challenges our highest
admiration. In short he was pat
riot, a statesman, noble, God fearing
manly man.

fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithal', to defray
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been very dull year,
The SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which its
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still a
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
just as warm friends of THE SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. It is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring ABOUT this result, we
make the following offer:
We will PRESENT one of our hand
some Autograph crayons of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST of July pays
up to January LIST, 1887. We want
to begin the new year of 1887 with
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all of our sub
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method, we
will be relieved of the unpleasant task
of reminding our readers of their al :
rears, and it vii! allow US to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving The SENTINEL, and max
ing it even a more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify us in believing it to be.

THE MEXICAN TROUBLES.

The CUTTING case, which at present
IS creating some commotion in mill
tary and newspaper circles has about
resolved itself to this Mr. CUTTING
Texas editor publishes paper in
Paso del Norte, Mexico In this he
libeled a Mexican editor, Senior Med
INA. He was arrested on Mexican
territory and carried before Mexican
court and, upon promising to retract
the libel and apologize to the Court,
was released. Instead of doing 80 he
Immediately published card in Ell
Paso, which in form was an apology
but which in fact was slur at the
court and more violent libel upon
Senior MEDINA. For the second time
he was arrested upon Mexican soil and
thrown into prison He refused bail
and relies upon the United States for
release. He was sentenced to one
years imprisonment and to pay fine
of 5000.
Now Mexico has no right, accord
ing to Constitutional Law, to seize an
American citizen and try him for a
civil offence according to Mexican
laws and before a Mexican court.
Secretary BAYARD has demanded
his release-the Mexicans refuse it,
but, as soon as Mexico's pride is salts
fed, will probably voluntarily pardon
him.
Texas is excited. The Galveston
Neacs says,
Ii American citizens on the border of
Mexico can not be protected, the American
government is more or less delusion and
snare.
As to whether the government will
take any immediate hostile action, in
case CUTTING isn't released is not yet
known. Some excitement in the
North and West IS manifest as the
following from the New York Star
will show:
