Jealousy of Birds.

Prof. Frescaud cites number of we'll
authenticated incidents illustrating the
jealousy that exists among the lower
order of animals-jealousy involving a
train of thought and process of reasoning.
One of the most curious of the practical
experiments he himself made was in
the case of a family of stoPks at Constan-
tinople. Having obtained permission of
the caliph to investigate the social and
domestic economy of these historic birds,
Prof. Frescand introduced into one of
the nests on the roof of mosque eleven
duck eggs, and took away the eggs
which The mother stork had laid. The
birds did not seem to notice the exchange,
and the male and female stork took turns
(as is the custom with most birds) at
sitting upon the eggs.
In due time the eggs were Matched and
nine plump ducklings made their
appearance. The mother stork was
apparently fully satisfied, and she brooded
over her callow infants with greaS
tenderness. But when the father stork
got a glimpse at the duclslings he became
terribly agitated and evinced his
displeasure by shrill cries and violent
gesticulations with his wings and legs.
AS if, however, to have the scandal prop
erly if not legally ventilated, this enraged
husband flew away and presently returned
with an immense number of neighbors
of both sexes. The strange company
expelled the mother bird from her nest,
and for long time inspected the young
ducklings, keeping up meanwhile an
ipcessant chattering, as if, forsooth,
they were discussing among themselves
the probability of the female storks
infdelity. At last, seeming to have
agreed upon verdict, they fell upon
the female and killed her, after which
they put the young duclSlings to death
and destroyed the nest and every vestige
thereof.
Prof. Frescaud says that soon after this
judicial murder the father stork,
seemingly overcome by modification at
the supposed faithlessness of his wife,
committed suicide by drowning in the
Bosorus.

by the skylight, but this was
small affair, and did not command but
a portion of the cabin. And, as we
afterward ascertained, the only frearm
among the mutineers was double-bar-
relied pistol, which had already been
discharged, and could not be reloaded
for want of ammunition. They would
also batter in the doors of the COM
panion, but we hoped to hold them at
the barricade. They could not come
at us by way of the hold, for that was
full.
We got bite. to eat from the pantry,
and by that time were hailed for our an
swer. The Captain replied that we would
not go, and defied them to do their
worst. We heard them moving softly
about, and at her own request Jess was
allowed to pull away portion of the
barricade and creep up the stairs to lis
ten, while the Captain and I stood with
our guns ready to repulse any attack by
the skylight. Jess was returning when
battering ram drove in the doors hardly
an arms length away, and the men who
had welded the spar raised a yell at
sight of her. Not one person in ten
thousand, man or woman, would have
done as she did. Instead of springing
over the barricade, she levelled her revol-
yer and shot one of the men, the leader of
the mutiny, through the head as he stood
above her. As he threw up his arms
and fell she shouted to us to come up,
rushed up the stairs and we heard her
fire twice more before we got over the
barricade.
When we got on deck no one but Jess
was to be seen erect. Two dead men
and one wounded unto death were lying
on the deck, and the other three had fled
to the fo'castle. Two minutes later they
were begging for their lives, and they
crawled like ours as they came up to be
bound. Jess killed two of the new
men and mortally wounded the cook, and
the mutiny had been put down and the
craft retalzep before you could count
hundred. Her movements had been so
swift and her aim was so fortunate that
everything had to go before her.
1t would have made your hair stand
up to listen to the confession of those
rascals. The seizure of the schooner
had long been contemplated, and a part
of the plan was to get hold of the girl.

ex-convict named Ike Reese, and he pro-
posed to turn the craft into regu-
lar pirate, strengthening his crew
from such small craft as he might over
haul. The cook died within an hour and
we hove the three bodies overheard With
out ceremony. During the forenoon we
worked the schooner to the east, and
about noon got couple of hands from
an English merchantman and put into
Melbourne to report and to deliver up
our prisoners. One was hanged for the
crime, but one died before the trial and
the other escaped and was shot dead
by the officers in pursuit. York

THE Kansas alien land law is in line
with those of Indiana, Illinois, and the
United States. Soon or late all the
agricultural States will bs found pro.
hibiting the ownership of land in large
quantities-at any rate, to any but
citizens or persons who have signifed
their intent of becoming citizens. But
the bill now before the Kansas Legis.
lature contains provision which might
well have been grated upon the land
laws of other States. 1t permits an
alien to become the owner of any
quantity of farming land less than 16d
acres. This is not enough to create
danger of alien landlordism, and i.
enough to bind the owner to the laws
and constitution of the country. There
are very few anarchists who own real
estate; none who own and cultivate
small farms.

THERE is disconsolate orator in th4
Ohio Legislature. 1t is Senator GeyseE
who permitted newspaper correspond.
ent to take the copy of speech which
he intended to deliver. The correspond.
ent failed to return the copy, and when
the question came up the Senator could
not make his speech. He found out,
however, that it was filed at the tele-
graph office as dispatch. The man.
ager refused to give it up. Going to q
Justices court, Geyser procured writ
of repleyin. When the constable served
it he was told by the manager to go to
the operating-room and take the prop
erty. The speech was in the hands OF
q dozen different operators, and the
constable, not being able to identify
the copy, went away without it.

A Paraphrase Of Seneca.


Happy tho man that when his day is done
i Ides down to sleep with nothing Of regret
Tho battle he has fought may not be won
Tbs fame he sought be just as tieeting yet;
Folding OF last his handsupon his breast
Happy Is he, II, hory and forspent,
BE sinks into the last eternal rest,
Breathing these only words: ~ am con-
tentn
But happier be, that while bis blood Is
warm,
Sees hopes and friendships dead aboua him
lie-
Bares his brave breast to envys bitter storm,
Nor shuns the poison barbs of calumny;
And mid it all, stands sturdy and elate,
Girt only in the armor God hath meant
For him who meath the buffetings Of fate
Can ray TO God and man; 'I am content .

LII HUNG CHANG is reported as say
ing: Before half century has passed
China will be covered with railways as
with a net. Its immense mineral re-
sources will he developed. 1t will
have rolling mills and furnaces in
many parts of the country, and it is
not impossible that it may do the mali
ufacturing for the world" The viceroy
is exceedingly sanguine, but there is
no immediate reason for American and
European manufacturers being fright
ened at the prospects of the competi-
tion of the Flowery Kingdom. A place
once lost is rarely recovered. The
Chinese were once the leaders of the
world, and fell behind in the race. 1t
is not likely that they will again take
the lead. Turkey was once in advance
of Europe,

Justice and Sentimentality.


From the Presbyterian.
Justice and sentimentality have nearly al
ways been hostile to each other. Sentimental
lists are people who have not suffered from
villainy. No father was ever sentimentalist
whose daughter suffered violence from some
brute. Sentimentalism is only compatible with
an outrage on somebody else. We are glad
that the judges of our courts see society in all
the relations of wrong doing. There are times
when the best Of humanity experience a COM
Portable satisfaction at the supremacy of JUS
tice.
An English judge at Bristol, not long ago, re-
GREETED that he could not add the lash to the
punishment of five years transportation which
he inflicted upon ruffian guilty of assaulting
a child; and at Liverpool Mr.. Justice Charles
gave three prisoners, who had robbed and
brutally assaulted woman, fifteen lashes with
the cat, in addition to six months imprison-
ment. That judge will have the respect of the
men and women on whom the best interests of
society depend.
