A Valuable Birds Wing.

A correspondent Of an Indian paper
describes a ceremony which took place
at Raugoon. 1t seems that in a recent
earthquake the birds wing Of gold and
precious stones browning the great
Rangoon pagoda was thrown down
and injured.
The trustees of the building called
on the people for subscriptions for a
new one and in three weeks the sum
of $4,000 rupees was collected. 1t was
notified that the melting of the gold
and silver would take place and that it
would be the last opportunity of con-
G.buting. In one of the large rooms
OF the pagoda two large crucibles were
placed, one for gold, the other for sill
vcr Hundreds of men and women,
girls, boys aud small children passed
by, dropping their silver or gold orna-
ments into the crucibles, or handing
their preciour stones to the clerk for
the purpose of being set in the birds
wing. Women gayly dressed and
covered with Jewels passed by, and.
taking couple Of gold bangles from
each arm, threw them into the pot,
on they took OFF rings, and, handing
the stones to the clerk, added the gold
to the melting mass Those who had
no cold put ugee coins into the silver
cmcbles and handed over others to
the clerk for the use of the pagoda;
even the bcggars came and added their
mites
All parted with their treasure with
out a sigh, and, in fact, seemed glad to
give it for such adeyout purpose. All
their good deeds are so many rungs
mounted on the ladder toward heaven.
The Shans went in a body of twenty
men and presented a diamond weigh
ing seyenty-iiYe carats. which is to be
placed as the chief ornament in the
wing. The silver melted amounted to
1850 rupees, that collected to 1925
rupees; the gold melted amounted TO
1880 rupees. The wing that fell
down was valued at 122, 500rupees, and
the one to replace it will be worth
l7j,VVu rupees.
The umbrella ornament at the top of
the same pagodo (the Swan-da-goan)
is said to have cost King Mindine Min
six lacs Of rupees. 1t is of pure gold,
richly set with gems, and is actually
fifteen feet high, although at its pres
ent elevation it does not seem two feet
The pagoda itself is 1928 feet high, and
the hillock on which it stands is about
loo feet. The pagoda is surrounded
by the barracks of the British troops,
aud the magazines are said to be in
the hilIocks on which it is bmlt.-St.

an Intelligent Dog.

The possession of an intelligent dog
p the family may be a useful means
out Of emergencies. Not long ago
some members Of a family returning
from ala evening entertainment were
unable to gain an entrance into their
house. The key had been forgotten
aud the servants were evidently asleep.
Ringing the door bell produced no re-
Spouse. The only sound indoors was
tAa. Of the dogs tail gently humping
against the rug. but after a time that
ceased. The dog had recognized his
friends and refused to bark When all
e4orls to enter seemed fruitless, the
door was opened by a sleepy servant
accompanied by a wide-awake dog. II

shed. His true reasons are behind
all this and he ia not sincere or can
did. He is contesting Morgan's
seat in congress from the fernando
district, and he is seeking to play
the role of martyr to his political
convictions. He wants to centrOI
Federal patronage in Mississippi.
That is his game. 1t i'll becomes
the hero of Fl. Pillow to parade
now as the champion of negro SUI
premacY, and it would be a ludio
crous travesty to honor this politi-
cal mountebank with any political
preferment. He is of the Malone
stripe of politicians. They were
both brigadIers IN the Confederat
service, and now are the most pesti-
ferrous republican leaders and pro-
motors OF race troubles and con-
flcts in the south. Verify politics

THE las legislature passed law
10 require all physicians proposing
to practic medicine in Tennessee to
register with the county clerk. The
law was intended to squelch the
quacks AMI uneducated persons
who have not sufficient medical
knowledge. A heavy penalty at
taches for practicing medicine
without the necessary certificate.
We clip the following correspon-
dence from the Memphis Appeal
of the Sd inst, which explains
itself:
. To Editor Of the Appeal.
Sir l noticed in an issue of your
paper some weeks since that the
physicians of the state would be
allowed until the 4th inst. in which
to appear before the clerks of the
county courts and obtain certif-
Gates that they we're on the 4th of
April last engaged IN the practice
of medicine; and in your issue of
Yesterday I also notice that you re,
fer again to the same matter and to
the time as expiring today, Oct.
4. BY reference TO the acts of 1889.
page 1856, section 2, you will see
that the time expires six months
alter this act takes effect; and on
page 14O, section 10, it says that
this act takes effect sixty days after
its passage, and it was passed
April 3, 1889; consequently takes
effects June 8, 1889, aud six months
from this date will be December 8,
1889, instead of October. / simply
call your attention to this so that
you my examine, and if your calcu-
lation is wrong you can correct 1t.

to our ability TO cure its many ills.
The day of gripping, purging, de

Parents should be careful that
their children do not contract colds
during the fall and early winter

lungs and air passages, making the
child much more likely to contract
other colds during the winter. Il
