A writer on "Bird Enemies" saws: The
owl is the bugaboo of birds. One season,
to protect my early cherries, 1 placed a
large stuffed owl amid the branches
of the tree. The news instantly spread
in every direction, and apparently every
bird in town came to see that owl in the
cherry tree and every bird took cherry,

left the owl indoors.

Attorney General.
No written statement was ever made
to me directly in response to this letter,
and the only explanation I have been
able to obtain is an article purporting to
be an interview with Gen. Davis, which
appeared in THE COMMONWEALTH, of To-
peka, Kansas, during the month of
January, the latter part of which 1 am
informed was written by Mr.. Davis. That
article reads as follows:
MISSING TESTIMONY.
The Chicago Daily Tribune Saturday
has special dispatch from Leavenworth
dated January 9th, 1884" as follows:
THE bonds which it is charged Sam
Lappin, the ex-state treasurer, forged
and negotiated, are missing. The case
will come on for trial soon, and the pres,
ecution need the bogus bonds for
evidence. They were delivered to At
torney General Willard Davis to use in
the case against Lappin soon after his
arrest. Davis says he put them in box
and thinks he turned them over to State
Treasurer Francis, who succeeded lap
pin. Both Francis and the present state
treasurer Howe, say they never saw the
box of forged bonds, or had anything to
do with it."
at is supposed that this dispatch was
suggested by Hon. Thomas P. Fenlon
who was employed several weeks ago by
Governor Click to prosecute the cases
against Mr.. Lappin. Some rumors to the
effect that the forged bonds were miss
ing were heard soon after Mr.. Lappin's
return to Topeka in October last
but We did not suppose they were
reliable. But on reading the above dis
patch, COMMONWEALTH reporter called
on General Davis, and showed him such
dispatch. Genera. Davis very naturally
thinks that the dispatch is intended to
injure him by conveying the impression
that the missing papers were placed in
his hands shortly after Mr.. Lappin WIS
arrested" in October last, and that he
has recently lost them. he says he has
not seen the papers since July or Au-
gust, 1879; and ke says these are the
facts: Mr.. Lappin was first arrested in

he procured another bell boy to do some

Mr.. Lappin's statement concerning the
payment of these warrants, is that he

WASHINGTON, Sept 20-Dispatches have
been received at the Navy Department from
Observation-Disclosures Nichols, commanding
the Pinta, from SItka, Alaska, relating to the
seizure of the British sealers. In dispatch
dated Aug %, he says
"On the Oath inst. the revenue steamer Cor
win came in, bringing the American vessel, the
San DIEGO of San Francisco, seized for catching
seals unlawfully. She also reported the SEIZURE
of three English schooners for the same offense
The latter were left at Ounalaska, in charge of
the United States deputy marshal the officers,
crews and cargoes being brought here A large
quantity of arms and ammunition was also
seized. The matter comes up before the Dis.
trict Court here next week, AMI it is probable
that interesting international questions Will come
up. as well. also as the jurisdiction of the
United States over the entire seas in the Arctic
and Behring, east of the boundary line"
In dispatch dated Sept 2 he says: Two of
the cases have been disposed of aS follows The
captain and mate Of the British schooner Thorn
ton We're tried by jury, found guilty and SEN
fenced each TO imprisonmentfor thirty days, and
! fined, the captain $500, and the mate $500. The
captain and mate of the American schooner, San

court Both were found guilty, and tentenced,
| the captain to two months imprisonment, and
| the mate to one months Imprisonment The cases
| of the two other British schooners Will come up
| in day or two. The captain of one OF them
has disappeared, and, it is supposed, has COM
| mtted suicide"
From an Enclosure in one of these dispatches
it is learned that the Corwin, when conveying
her prizes to port sighted five other vessels. all
doubtless engaged in unlawful sealing. They

revenue vessel was sighted, and the latter was
unable to follow them without abandoning her
