A MOA'S SKELETON.
A Probably Extinct Bird Which Attained
Height of Fourteen Feet.

A Probably Extinct Bird Which Attained
Height of Fourteen Feet.
Among the New Zealand exhibits at
the Colinderies in London is the skele-
ton of a moa. The moa was bird
much larger than the ostrich, attain
ing height of fourteen feet, and but
recently extinct Indeed, it is held by
some that living specimens may still
exist in the interior of New Zealand,
though there is not much ground for
hope in this respect. 1t is supposed
by naturalists that the bird lived large
ly on the roots of ferns so numerous in
the islands of Australasia, its logs and
claws being of wonderful strength and
specially adapted for scratching. In
the new red sandstone of the Connecti-
cut river valley in Massachusetts i'm
prints of the feet of large birds have
been found which are of character to
indicate that the moa, or a bird very
nearly like it, once existed on this con-
tinent Here, however. it disappeared
ut an early stage. The skeleton in the
Colinderies exhibition is ten feet high,
which, with two smaller specimens,
have been lent by the Canterbury (New
Zealand) Museum. Exhibited with
the birds is the only moa's egg in ex-
istence. 1t was discovered in the Kali
koura peninsula, and is about the size
of two ostrich eggs. Chicago Tribune.

They Never Strike.

There is class of people in this
country who get up at five clock in
the morning and who never get back
into bed until ten or eleven o'clock at
night; who work without ceasing the
whole of that time, and receive no
othfr emolument than food and the
plainest clothing. They understand
something of every branch of economy
and labor, from finance to cooking.
Though harassed by a hundred respon-
sihi!ities, though driven and worried,
though reproached and looked down
upon, they never revolt: and they can
not organize for their own prot .ct...,
Not even sickness releases them from
their posts. No sacrifice is deemed too
great for them TO make, and no incom-
potency in any branch of their wcrk Is
excused. No ESSAYS or books or poems
are written in tribute TO their stea l.
fastness. They die in the harness and
are supp anted as quickly as may be.

the laboring men, Chicago Shoe and

Jack and in pleasant talk,

Leading from our sea-girt Town
To broad, breeZe-cOurted DOWN.
Sooa, Jack ever restless eye.
Keen and curious, sought the sky;
Fragments of a gale DER blown
Round the gusty heaven were strewn:
..Oh" quoth Jack, With sudden glee,
s.Father. did you ever see
Such uncouth, fantastic shapes?
'Yon cioud-head is like an apes,
Grinning. with his nOnstrous mouth
Ger those grim pines pointed south:
And above the jagged rocks
There's q mist-fOrmed, willy fox.
Running from the wind that sounds
Rearward. like pack of hounds;
And-why-father. don't you spy
That big fellow lifting high
Both his vapOry arms to smite
Some one lurking out of sight!
Then, half crimson. and half dun,
Mark that face of impish fun,
With sun-ray, red as rose,
ON the tip or his huge nose
Strange how MANY shapes there be
Floating round this sky-born sea!
Yes. another! watch IL SAIL
Through the swift waves! THAT'S

HarpOoned. too beyond doubt .
How he lets the iife-blood out!
While q mighty ship behind
Seems to labor down the wind! 90.

There are a dozen men In the cOun-
ties of Jefferson, Sewer, Blount,
Loudon, Roane and Scott who
would representa- us with ability and
honor in the Congress of the United
States. Why is it that the rights
of these counties have not been rec
ognized? The policy of rotation in
men who shall represent us, as well
as the county where the candidate
lives, is fair, and should be regard
ed by all. Any candidate who
does his duty ought to be reelected,
giving him four years, then give 1t
to another man from another coun.
ty, and so on. This would prevent
disruption in the party, strengthen
ing it from year to year. We un'
derstand that Knoxville Is already
stufting a new man for the place, as
it is said Houk will not figure any
longer as a candidate. Now, We
say let the other counties have 9
man, and let Knox vote for him
let there be a united action on the
part of the other counties, and
there will be harmony.

The question now is who shall be
the next United States Senator
from Tennessee. The Bourbon
papers say it cannot be our "dear

Bate, who only got six thousand du-
ring the Presidential year when
people all turn out. Bob did we'll

they expected, or he would have
done better; besides Gen. Hood
would not 60 into the ring, and
then those outlandish fellows who
refused to use two ballot boxes at
Nashville kicked over the pud-
ding, so the 10000 did not material
ize. "Our Bob" should not be held
responsible for the shortcomings Of
unruly members.

COLLEGIATE PRIVILEGES.

The Chattanooga University of
the M. E. Church has refused the
the privileges of a mixed school.
This has called out the criticism of
persons, papers and institutions,
not interested in its success. We
believe the authorities having the
interest of the new College at
heart, have taken the proper course
at the present time, and as we
grow older, wiser and better, we
can afford to have mixed schools.
We believe each race should have
its schools, teachers and officers.
In our style Of education we could
sit in common school, seminary,
college, or university, or worship in
the some church, with colored peo-
pie. Yet there are those who have
never got rid of their prejudice; SO
in all these things, let US be wise
and generous to all shades of opin.
ions. Then the best reason for ia
voring unmixed schools is, the COL
ored people will be teachers of their
own race, and if you have mixed
schools they will never be teachers /;
therefore, it is for their benefit that
we would especially oppose mixed
schools. The colored people will
rise faster to have separate schools,
as it offers more place and power to
them for honorable exertion. The
persons who are to-day making the
most noise and criticising the most
severely are such as refuse to open
their own schools to colored people.
They are like women of easy vir-
tue criticising their weak sisters in
crime and degradation.

THE BEST STOCK,

Next after the stocking our fields
with grass, is to look more especial
ly to the improvement of stock.
There are some good, hardy cows
in this country, that do we'll even
though our grass land is not well
calculated to make good stock. In
looking over some of the results
and successes in cattle raising in
the West, we are led to believe that
much is accomplished by crossing
two or more varieties. No one
variety has all the qualities desir-
ed; for instance, the shorthorns
have only beef qualities, so that to
engage in raising that class of
stock to the exclusion of cattle hav-
ing good milk and butter qualities.
will not be profitable. Then when
we get all these qualities we want
a cattle that are good rangers, that
is most easily raised and fed, so
that in our stock we have the beef,
milk and butter as well as a hardy
stock that are good rangers, can
live easily where other stock would
fail. 1t is said by men of expert
ence that the polled stock, black
cattle, without horns, are the best
rangers known, and when crossed
with the Herefords come into beef
one year earlier than the Herefords
or shorthorns, while they are i'm.
proved as rangers.
In the West they are largely ex.
perimenting on all the grades Of
cattle aud their crosses, to see
which has the better qualities, that
will suit the various elm attic influ.
ences. The polled cattle are a very
hardy stock but they lack some
essential qualities; but when cross.
ed with other finer breeds not so
hardy, it brings more of all needed
qualities than other crosses do.
The stock raisers of Tennessee need
this experience. r

1t is one of the strange features
Of the 10th century that when men
begin to practice economy their
first deprivation will be their re-
ligious papers. Second, their home
paper and the education of their
children. Third, to buy the cheap
est meat and clothing they can find
in the market for use of the family.
In looking at themselves they never
dream that tobacco chewing, snuff
dipping and smoking could be dis
pensed with. If some persons 60 to
the store with only Is cents, Is
would buy tobacco and 10 would
BIZ spent for coffee, returning home
to borrow a dish of meal or -four.

The HOlstOn Methodist had to
discharge its. leading editor and
appoint a committee to edit it. In
that committee, Mr.. Valentine is
business manager and assistant
editor. 1t is one of the strange
things that a church, so large and
wealthy as the M. E. Church South,
with a part Of five states to support
it, should allow so excellent a paper
to be unsupported; at least, with SC
little support that the editor had to
be discharged. The brethren need
more class meetings, prayer meet
ings, personal conservation, and
less politics. Then good papers
like the Methodist will receive
hearty support.

WHAT THEY NEED,

What we need in Tennessee is
experience in all grades Of farm
work, stock and fruit raising. Now,
some may think this presumption
to say the farmers here are not ex-
perienced as they should be. To
make this easy, farm and stock
journals must grow up here, expert.
menting on the soils, stock, &c, as
the experience of other localities
will not answer.
