Wearied Swallows.

A rather curious episode in natural history occurred the other day on board the French steamboat Abd-el-Kader, during the passage from Marseilles to Algiers. Just as the vessel was about two hours out the sky became quite black with swallows. It was then about six O. clock in the evening. The birds alight ed in thousands on the sails, ropes and yards of the Abd-el-Kader After g perky survey of the deck from their emi. nences aloft, they decended cooly CD deck, hoped about among the sailors and passengers and eventually found their way into the cabins, both fore and aft.
 The birds were evidently fatigued after a long flight, and allowed them. selves to be caught by the people of the ship, who gave them welcome recep- tion and provided them with food, which they enjoyed heartily. The little wing ed strangers remained all night on the vessel, and in the morning at seven o'clock the head lookout bird no doubt sighted the Balearle Isles, for the whole flock made for land, after having spent comfortable and refreshing night or board ship.-London Telegraph.

President Harrison has appointed
Judge Veazey of Vermont, successor

gan.

a native of Rutland, Vermont, which
is now the city of his residence. He

ALL quiet in Fort Bend county.
The unbroken quietof deaths and the
democratic journals make mockery of
the most damnable tragedy that dis
graces the annals of American his
tory in Texas. Concerning this series
of unproyoked murders the Waco
Day says:
1.-THE Fort Worth Mail says that
the Jaybirds have acquired all of the
offices of Fort Bend county as the re-
suit of late troubles, and the plaintive
wall of the Woodpeckers sounds some
thing like; Willow, tit-willow, tit
willow Alas for the Woodpeckers!
They have all fled the other scenes or
lie dead in their holes-but peace
reigns in Warsaw
The milk of human kindness has
certainly soured in the hearts of the
old bourbon democracy when they
gloat over the assassination of other
democrats in this manner.
