An immense flock of pigeons came
down from the Peninsula on Thursday
passing over Two Rivers to Neshoto.
From thence they turned westward.
There was continual cloud from day
break until o'clock. They probably
find nesting place in the forests to the
westward, but do not remain il that
locality during the fall. 1t is seldom one
sees pigeons in this locality nowadays,
though the migration from the direction
of the Peninsula appears to be annual.

recommend as means of preventing dam
towns be constituted fire commissioners
Tor their respective towns, with authority to
appoint watchmen and patrols when, on ac-
count of the dryness of the season, they
may deem it expedient; to prosecute parties
who may set fires contrary to law, and to
grant permits for burning brush or waste
material during the summer season. The
commission also recommended that all per-
sons be forbidden under penalty to set fires
between the LIST Of May and the LIST Of Oc-
tober in any pasture, field or other place
for the purpose of clearing the land, If such
material TO be burned be within a mile Of
any forest, without first obtaining written
permit from at least one of the selectmen ;
to make all offenders liable in civil action
TO any person injured by fire set without
such permit for the amount Of damage sus

a permit it should be the duty of the select
men to proceed at once TO the place and OK
anime carefully the situation, amount, and
nature Of the material proposed to be burn
cd, its proximity to other property, especi-
ally forests, the dryness Of the season, the
direction Of the wind, the probability Of
rain, SO far as it can be gathered from the
appearance Of the heavens, and when prac-
dcable from predictions given out at Wash

From the very outbreak of the war tho
Southern Confederacy had to depend on
the North and ON Europe for supplies of
various sorts. After the blockade became
stringent extraordinary efforts were made
to procure the necessaries from the North
and hundreds of men made fortunes in buy
ing from one and selling to the other.
For the first two years the Confederacy
vas pushed to It for percussion caps foi
army muskets, Colts revolvers and the rifle.
and shotguns owned by private individuals
Certain patriots in Baltimore, st. Louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati-men who howled
for the Union at the top Of their lungs
kept regular depots for the supply of small
arms and ammunition for Confederates. A
box of sc. D." caps, which sold for ten
cents before the war, was worth $2 when
we came to buy 'em In any of the cities
named after the conflict had fairly begun.
Caps for army muskets were worth their
weight in gold. In the spring of 1862 put
gold pieces ON the scales of q certain Union
man at Louisville, and he balanced them
with musket caps. A year later he made
me double the COINS procured from this
one man on various occasions about 5,000,-
900 percussion caps, 100 revolvers, 1901
cartridges and about five pounds of quinine.
He not only knew that everything was being
purchased for the Confederates but he
lent ready hand to get each purchase
through the lines.
II was wonderful how many true patriots
wanted TO help us out-for pay. There is
q Confederate Major now living in Charles

Federal General for shoes and medicines
Cotton and tobacco were exchanged in q
dozen other instances, and there never was
time when 1t could be delivered but that
Northern men were on hand TO buy.

hundred pairs of Yankee made shoes

The Remarkable Man Who Is Chap
lain OF the House.

Rev. DIR. Milburn, the blind Chaplain of
the House of Representatives, whose prayers
are just now creating sensation, is o re-
markable man in more than one respect.
Forty-three years ago he was told by emf
nent doctors that he would be dead within
SIX months, and since that time he has tray
eled, by actual computation, million and
a half of miles in his vocation He is now
physically, although in his sixty fourth year,
as strong and robust as most men of thirty,
and his intellect is of more than common
power. He can give more accurate descrip.
tons of Westminster Abbey, Cologne Cathe.
dral, Notre Dame and the other Old World
monuments he has visited than can the ma
iority of those persons who have not been
dependent on other peoples eyes and on
their sense of touch. He can describe the
rocky outlines and mountainous declivities
of the Sierras and of the Rocky Mountains
and the picturesque beauties of the Blue
Ridge with force and vigor combined with
accuracy rarely equaled, even by writers
who still retain their sight, while he has
been blind since he was five years old. 1t
Is his wonderful power of thus describing in
simple language the concrete things of life
that renders his sermons and prayers SO
forceful and attracts to them such wide.
spread attention. His first invocation to at
tract notice in the House was vigorous de.
nunciation of stock gambling, but yesterday
he cast all previous utterances in the shade
by referring to the present labor troubles in
such manner as to call forth from Repre-.
sentative the remark that II was an incen-
diary speech"
A reporter of the Post found DR.. Milburn
last night enjoying the delight of long
stemmed pipe. At the reporters entrance
the doctor arose, and, in hearty voice, said
he was "glad to see" him. The reverend
gentleman is of tall and commanding pres.
ence. Broad-chested and inclined to stout
ness, he is the picture of health. A full.
untrimmed gray beard floats way down his
vest, while his black hair, streaked with sill
yer, is brushed back from his high forehead
and hangs in bushy luxuriance upon the
collar of his clerical coat. His strongly
marked features bear kindly expression,
and are every now and then lit up by a
pleasant smile. While talking he fixes his
eyes upon the person whom he is address,
ing, and the sightless orbs appear to look
straight into the soul of his listener. He Is
most entertaining talker, and one of his
favorite hobbies is the subject of health and
its promotion. He is very Jew. in his
selection of food, positively eschewing all
hog meats, and he treats himself to regu-
lar course of curry-comb and rough towel,
cold water, oil and sun baths every morn
ing As he himself says, he is one Of the
best groomed men in the country. WASH

To watch farmer shave himself is one
Of the most painful operations ever wit
messed outside of downright butchery. For
some reason away beyond the depth of pres
ent knowledge, the man who breads the
country always has a beard like o new hair
brush, and he never could learn how TO
sharpen a razor.
He gets on the back stoop with his shay
ing utensils and after rubbing the razor
over the strop in an awkward fashion, until
Whatever trace Of edge it may have had has

takes up position alongside of the kitchen
door, where the old lady will DO sure to
joste his arm when she goes TO empty her

ire visible. With cob dipped i'll warm
water he goes over the stubble with vigor
that makes the flesh creep until he feels
that oil the reasonable precautions for COM
fort in the subsequent operations have been
taken.
Taking up the razor and looking at it sus-
piciously over the top of his glasses, he
runs his thumb along the edge, fails TO
draw blood as he had hoped, and then with
sigh like leaving town in hurry, he
grabs himself by the nose, shuts his eyes,
and give scrape that makes his hair stand
on end as bunch Of beard seems to come
out by the root.

woe break from him now and then, as an
expression that poisons life steals over his

been pulled out Of socket by that terrible
razor, and the last bit of stubble has been
laid low, when, with sigh of relief, he
strikes up hymn Of thanksgiving, and joy
