About Mynah Birds.

Few persons who have seen the saucy
little mynah birds, around their dwell
ings, ever realize how hard they are to
catch. A gentleman who had an order
from Australia to procure from twenty to
thirty of these birds. has been endeavor-
ing for two months to get them, offering
one dollar apiece, but so far without
success, although at least a score OF
natives or Cinnamon have been trying
their best to trap them. One native
after a long spell of watching, caught SIX
but they managed to escape. -Four
Cinnamon found the roosting place OF a
large flock in a grove of cocoanut trees
and each man about midnight climbed
I'D a separate tree, so as to make sure OF
good haul. One bird only was caught
and sounded an alarm of distress,
whereupon the whole flock of four Oh
five hundred flew away, though it was
pitch dark. Early in the spring when
the Young are in the nests, they are
easily caught but the old birds are too
willy to allow themselves to be trapped
| or caught in any way alive.

PLUCkY YOUNG WRAY.
His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
Overwhelming Odds.

His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
Overwhelming Odds.
Three days after the battle of White
River, in which the gallant Thorn
burgh lost his life, Freeman z. Wray,
an eighteen-year-old boy who was in
charge of cattle forty-fve miles north
of White River Agency, was attacked
by band Of savages. He contrived to
get his rife and to make so good de-
Tense, that they betook themselves to
ravine and besieged him at their leis-
ure. After awhile he got out of am
munitiOn and was forced to climb into
wagon to get a new supply.
While he was executing this move
ment bullet struck him in the calf of
the leg, passing directly through. In
an instant more another ball caught
him at the hip and knocked him down.
With whoop and yell the savages
ran toward the spot, expecting to take
their plucky foe prisoner. But they
were again foiled, for Wray was only
down temporarily, and getting to his
feet again scrambled into the wagon
where lay his ammunition. He pulled
a sack of flour in front of him and
piled bag of beans on top of that and
took hold of such other articles within
reach as made for him barricade
against the promised shower of balls.
Rapidly cutting hole in the canvas
wagon-cover, he saw the Indians ap-
preaching. Leveling his rife, he fired
at the foremost of his pursuers, the
ball taking effect. This threw the
Indians into confusion, and they re-
treated into the ravine. They threw a
hailstorm of bullets into the wagon,
and one of these caught young Wray
in the right eye, and lodged there,
The Indians finally retreated. Aftet
protracted delay the boys wounds
were dressed and the balls extracted,
and after five months nursing he
seemed to be entirely we'll, although
he had lost the use of one eye. One
of his wounds broke out afresh
eighteen months after the fight, anG
caused his death. Cor. Philadelphia

A FRIEND ABROAD.

views of Sir Edward Clifford in the
London Times.
A letter was received from this gentle
man by DR.. Rodgers by the last mail,
enclosing clipping from the London
Times, which expresses the views of a
gentleman who is thoroughly qualified
to speak on the subject to which he
refers. 1t will be remembered that he
spent some months here. In a note
accompanying the slip, Mr.. Clifford
says that, excepting one article in Long
mans Magazine, he has read nothing
but praise of the Governments care of
the asylum. We republish Mr.. Cliff
ford's letter to the Times:
'"TO the Editor of the Times-Sir: I
was surprised to read in your issue of
the 18th that Mr.. Manley Hopkins had

should be sorry for it to be supposed that
Eng!ishmen had been unjust to the Ha-
waiian Government. 1t has certainly
set US an example of care and gener-
osity that we have been slow to follow.
The lepers at Molokai were in de-
plorable state when the settlement was
first established there, and details may
be found in the reports of the Hawaiian
Board OF Health, but owing to the repre-
sensations of Father Damien and of
other officials the state of affairs was
remedied almost as soon as it was
known, and the improvement has been
especially marked since the accession OF
the present King. But these facts have
been repeatedly brought before the
public lately, and | am only surprised to
find that anyone has discovered ignorant
censures anywhere.
