Women and Birds.

Mrs. Browning used to say that most
people were kind when they thought of
it, and we are sure that the women of
this country who have yielded to very
silly and, as it would appear, wicked
fashion, will abandon it when they
come to think of it, We refer to the
wearing of birds and of birds wings on
bonnets. 1t is probably true that this
fashion is doing more to work out the
destruction of song-birds than any other
agency now known. The sacrifice of
bird-life upon this altar is simply enor-
nous. AT Cape Cod 10000 terms have
been killed in one season. An enter
prising business woman of New York
has recently succeeded in filling con-
tract with a Paris millinery firm for
40, 1000 bird-skins of gulls, sea-swallows
and terms, at forty cents apiece. All
along the coast of Florida, in Texas, on
the prairies and the mountain wales of
the far West, thousands of birds of al
most every description, whose plumage
is bright and attractive, are being
slaughtered. 1t is no wonder that the
American Ornithological Union has
adopted strong resolutions against this
practice, and that movement is al
ready started in England among leading
women to discountenance the murder
Gus fashion. 1t is said that the terms
and sea-swallows have well nigh disap-
peared from the marshes between
Coney and Fire Islands, which ten years
| ago were their breeding-grounds. Sea
| and land birds suffer alike. The robins,
finches, woodpeckers, humming-birds,
thrushes, cedar-waX-wings, blue-birds
and meadow larks are sent to the shops
to adorn female head-dresses. We hope
that the good women of this country,
who are usually so ready in missionary
and philanthropic enterprises, will be-
stow some thought on the birds which
God has made to sing among the
branches and gladden. the face of ma
ture. 1t is within the power of women
to arrest this fashion and to stop the
cruel and wanton destruction at once

A Member of Dahlgren's Band.

The board of pension examiners had
an applicant for an increase of pension
Yesterday who has had remarkable
history. He was John Delaney of Ru-
pert, who entered the service as drum
mer-boy in the Thirty-frst New York,
when about fifteen years old. After
two years. service he enlisted in Com
pany G. of the Vermont Cavalry, from
Bennington, and is probably the only
survivor of the immortal fifteen who
rode into Richmond March 3, 1864,
under brave Colonel Dahlgren. The
act was considered almost foolhardy,
and resulted in the death or capture of
every one of the raiders. Dahlgren
called for volunteers, and with fifteen
plucky cavalrymen made a raid on Rich
mond, while Kilpatrick's cavalry en-
gagged the troops of the enemy else
where, and the city was comparatively
unprotected. The band intended to
release the Union prisoners at Libby
prison, but only succeeded in cutting off
the pckets and passing two lines of
Notifications. They were then discov-
cred, however, overpowered, and in
their attempt to escape Dahlgren was
killed, while his companions were shot
or captured. A ball from the rebels
entered the back of Delaney's head,
passing out above the ear. He fell
from his horse on barricade and was
severely injuredin the abdomen. When
taken to the hospital he says that the
surgeon took fancy to him and offered
to help him escape if he got well, al
though there was little chance of his
recovery. After about seven weeks of
suffering he got well, and bribed the
surgeon, by giving him valuable watch
to allow him to take the name of a dy-
ing prisoner next to him, who was Sc
lected on parole to be exchanged.
The prisoner died, and he easily got
free by taking his place. Since the wal
he has suffered great deal from a
wound in his head, and has submitted
to the operation of having his skull tre-
PANIED. The survivors of the band were
put in irons and died in confinement
or soon afterward. -Rhland Herald.
