\ large, full grown eagle, of the va
riety termed golden, was brought in
from the pumpkin creek hills yester-
day. the possession OF n live eagle,
Gagged. causing some curiosity. After
being on exhibition some time at the
McGurk stable. Dave Cleland obtained
possession of it and has it in his men
acerie, having transferred it from the
Slated box in which it arrived to n
commodlous cage.
This eagle was roped by Pumpkin
creek cowboy, Charles Coon, and is the
first instance known to the writer
where the proud bird Of freedom" has
been caught like ycaring heller.
Coon saw the eagle make "a descent to
feed, and ''savying" the lay OF the land,
knew he could get up within II few feet
bur above the eagle. This he accom-
Ilished without any trouble, and then
the thought struck him to add glory
to his career a. n "puncher" by rop-
ing the unsuspecting bird. The rope
was thrown and the eagle snatched
from his prey and taken, an unwilling
and Troublesome captive. to lansnish

Sensible Suggestions Relative 10 Reading Books.

An antiquatel conception about
reading needs to be ecorrected--thei idea
that every book must he read through.
In oldcn times, when there were COM
paratiVely few books and men had
more time to spare than they have
now, such a conception might prevail.
At the present time it would be math-
ematically impossible for a man to
read through a thousandth part of
even the books worth reading; hence
he must train himself to pick out OF IA
hook what he wants for his purpose
at the time. In n hundred poems
which an author groups in II volume,
there may he two cr three that are
especially good. Why should one read
the nincty-sevcn poor ones in order to
get at the three he vnlues? Why
should he read every article in mag
azine or newspaper? Ii is rarely the
ease that great rcader-a man who
knows the value OF books and how to
use them-ever reads a book through.
\ shrewI reader, trained in the valu-
able art OF skipping" will get the
point of an authors argument in one
tenth of the time that it takes the
man who reads through the whole
book. When "A man goes to II library
he goes to dictionary. lie doesn't
read his dictionary through; he gets
what he wants; in getting what he
wants he passes over much that is
valuable. but it is not valuable to him
at that time, and so he leaves it alone.
The skillful reader makes dictionary
out of his library--he gets what he
wants. lie handles looks, not to say,
II have read so many books" but to
get spirttion.--rhe Epoch.

New York special: The Grant monu-
ment fund has been in existence since
August, 1SS5-ilearly three years. 1t
was announced by the gentlemen hav-
intended to raise Sl.0OO,O00 with
which to erect n monument in honor
OF the hero OF Appomattox. They
were so positive in their own success.
that refusal was given to all sugges-
tions as to how the fund might be
increased from outside sources. The
intention was to rely upon the pat
riotism OF the citizens of the country
at large and not to resort to any
booms in the form of fairs or other
benefits from outside concerns. The
general opinion now prevails among
persons who have manifested int terest-
in the matter that the fund so far has
been n failure and will continue so
unless new life is instilled into the COM
mittee.
The original amount of 81 900, 900
has been reduced to S5OO.OOO. There
is no present Indication that the latter
sum will be raised within the next
fifty years. The total amount received
from all sources up to date is less than
S13O,OOO. OF this sum all but S2S,-
900 was received within the first six
months of the funds existence. 1t is
n fact that the subscriptions comingin
at the present rate would not suffice
to pay the running expenses OF the
fund. 1t is now proposed by the COM
mittee to institute series of schemes
looking to n revival of the interest
manifested throughout the nation at
the time OF Grants death.

PARIS, May Il.
Whitclaw Reid, Esq.
Ny Dear Sir--On my return to Paris
from Southern Italy on the >th inst, have
learned (what did not before belieye) that
my name may yet he presented tn the ma
tional convention as n candidate for the
presidency by the Republican party. \
single phrase of my letter of January %
frc m Florence (which was decisive of every
q. ng | had the pei sonal power to decide)
has been treated by many Of my most val
ued friends as not absolutely conclusive in
ultimate and possible contingencies. ON
the other hand, friends equally devoted
and disinterestci have construed my letter
tas it should he construcd) to be AN un-
conditional withdrawal of my aanIe from
the national convention. They have, in
consequence, given their support to eini-
nent gentlemen who are candidates for the
Chicago nomination, some of whom would
i
that position il ! had desired to represent
the party in the presidential contest in
ISsS. If should now by speech or silence,
by commission or ommission permit my
name in any event to come before the CON
vention, ! should incur the reproach of be-
ing uncandid with those who have always
been candid with me. | speak, therefore,
because am not willing To remain in n
doubtful attitude, am not willing to be
the cause Of misleading single man among
the millions who have given me their sui
iraces and their confidence. am not will
ing that even one of my faithful supporters
i'm the past should think me capable ~
palterng, in double sense. with my words.
Assuming that the presidential nomination
could by any possible chance he offered To
me. | could not accept il without leavingin
the minds oi thousands of these men the
in,press sion that had not been free from
indirectinn, aud therefore | could not ac-
cep, it at all. The Misrepresentation of
malice have no weight, but the just dis
rlc,, urc Of my friends could not patiently
endure. \ Republican victory. theprospect
of which grows brighter every day, can be
inperilcd only 10y the lack OF unity in coun-
ell, or by an acrimonious contest overmen.
The issue of protection is incidentally
stronger and greater than any man, for II
concerns the prosperity of the present and
it, generations yet to come. Were 1t pos
sibie for every voter oi the republic to sec
ior himself the condition and recompen-e
OF labor in Europe, the party oi free trade
in the United States would not receive the
support Of one wage worker between the
two oceans. 1t may not be directly in our
power as philanthropists to elevate the
European laborcr, but il will he II lasting
stigma upon our craftsmanship ii we per-
init the American laborcr to be placed
down to the European level, and in the end
the rewards oi labor everywhere will he adj
vanced If we steadily refuse to lower the
STANDARD at home.

traordinary interest, and THE APPEAL bull

stantly changing crowds. At o'clock it
was generally known that the city's DEM

and as there was no possibility OF
Republican vote in the coun-
try to equal it, the average Democrat
could be identified by the broad smile that
