THE OLD BANpANA.
Death OF Faithful Old Nurse-A
Tribute from Her Mistress.

From the Macon (Gd) Telegraph.
In Albany, few days ago, there died an
old negro woman, Aunt Rosa" who be-
longed to the old-fashioned kind who wore
the bandana about her head, and for whom
tho bandana is reverod by southern people
as much as for the fact that it is used by
Thurman.
Aunt Rosa was the trusted servant OF the
Willingham family for more than forty
years. She nursed seventeen of the OF
spring, and they loved her up 10 the time
OF her death. Mr. W. b. Willingham Of
Macon was among those who were nursed
by her.

BIRDS AS WEATHER PROPHETS.
How Gulls, Swans and Woodpeckers
Foretell Weather Changes.
From the Neto York Sun.

from me NeU YORK sun.
In Hampshire swans are beloved to be
Matched in thunderstorms, and it is said
that those on tho Thames have an instinct
i've prescience Of floods. Before heavy
rains they raise their nests. This is char
acteristic Of many birds, which add piles Of
material to their nests to prevent swamp
ing. When rocks fly high and seem to imi-
tate birds OF prey by soaring, swooping and
falling, lis almost certain sign Of coming
storm. Staying In tho vicinity OF the rock
cry, returning at midday, or coming to
roost In groups are also said to be omens TO
the like effect. Various proverbs would
seem to indicate that the cry of an owl, if
heard in bad weather, foretells a change.
The constant iteration of the green wood
pecker's cry before "a storm has given it the
names of rain birds, rain pie and rain
fowl. Stormcock is q provincial name
shared by this bird and the missel-thrush,
the latter often singing through gales of
wind and rain. Storm bird also is applied
to the fieldfare. Tho abhorrence in which
mariners hold the swallow-like storm penel
is well known; its appearance Is believed to
denote wild weather. This little bird is the
Mother Carey's ohickon of sailors and is
also called storm finch and water witch
Herons, says an old author, flying up ana
down in the evening, as if doubtful where
to rest, 'presage some evil approaching
weather-a legend as old as Virgil, though
probably devoid of foundation.
Concerning guls in general, children who
live by the sea say, 'Seagull, seagull, sit on
the sand; it's never good weather while
you're on the land" and fisher folk know
that when the seamews fly out early and
far to seward fair weather may DO ex-
pected. To Scotch shepherds the drumming
OF the snipe indicates dry weather and
frost at night, an Gilbert White remarks
that woodcocks have been observed to be
remarkably listless against snowy, foul
weather; while, according to another
author, their early arrival and continued
abode ''foretels a liberal harvest In
Wiltshire the coming of the dotterel be-
tokens frost and snow, and there is q prov
erD that the booming Of tho bitten Will be
followed by ram or worse. In Morayshire,
when the wild geese go out to sea, they say
the weather will be fine: but II toward the
hill, stormy.
The saw-like note of tho great tltmouse is
said TO foretell rain; that Of the bua-tit
cold. In the south of France so much

that II it builds ito nest on the summit of a

Father O'Br.en has again shown his great
interest and love for his two cnnrges,
the academy and orphsnge at Washington.
Thursday he received the instruments for
teaching telegraphy. A line will be run
from the academy 20 the orphanage, and as
soon as the posts can be erected and instru-
ments pat in place the teaching will begin.
1t Is mainly for the benefit of the young
ladies, though the boys will be taught at
leisure moments. To this will be added
stenography and type-writing, and the
young ladies may now acquire a thorough
business education. This school already
ranks very high wherever il is known,
young ladies having passed examinations
elsewhere with great credit after leaving IT,
With the advantages now being added
there will be no school where a better edu-
cation can be gotten, and this With the
healthy climate, will render this one Of the
most notable schools south.

millions, in that he has left you pure,
noble, spotless life, that neither friends nor
foes can gainsay, as a heaven-born legacy
to his weeping children and Borrowing
friends. His life was a charm, his death
was a glorious contamination of a sublimely
useful life. He was unassuming and sweet
in his dealing with men. A candid, up
right. Christian gentleman. He was a true
Baptist, and gave very largely of his
means. The negro Baptists shared largely
Of his liberality. He will live in their
