To Obtain Its Food 1t Rolls Over in the
Street.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
The denizens of lower Broadway are daily
treated to a novel sight. There are number
of pigeons which live upon the wharf boat. but
they fly up to Broadway and Front and pick up
seeds, grains of corn and such pickIngs as birds
love and the market people leave.
Among the flock is a black pigeon who has
no legs Its mode of picking up seeds is very
odd. The bird alights on its breast, and seeing
any thing it wants, rolls or wallows over to it
and picks it up. 1t is fat, and does not appear
to be suffering for want of food. 1t has been
captured several times. and those who have
handled the bird declare that there was no in
dication that it ever had any legs.

A SUIT for libel against a religious journal

piously given to violent denuuciation of the
alleged sensationalism of the unholy secular

be lynched, is not logical, but it Is fair ex-

That Obstructionary Tactics Wouid be

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Mr. Can
non, of Illinois, from the House Com
mittee on Rules, reported resolution setting
apart to-day, Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday and Tuesday and "Wednesday
of next week for the consideration of bills
reported from the Committee on Agrioul-
ture.
Mr.. Crainn, of Texas, inquired whether
under the order the river and harbor bill
could be considered.
Mr.. Cannon replied that he thought not
But that bill could be called up Friday or
Monday or during the morning hour on the
other days.
Mr.. McMillen, of Tennessee, said that it
must be admitted, in view of the late hour
in the session, that the proposed order put
the river and harbor bill in a perilous posi-
ton. He warned the Housonow in order
that the friends of the river and harbor Dill
might adopt the special order with their eyes
open.
Mr.. Funston said to the friends of the
river and harbor bill if they knocked out the
Agricultural Committee that committee
would knock the river and harbor bill 50
high that it would never be seen again.
Mr.. Cannon said that the order would not
interfere in the slightest degree with the
river and harbor bill That measure could
be called up during the morning hour or on
Friday or Monday. There was no antagonism
between the order and the river and harbor
bill, and it was false issue to bring up such
antagonism.
The resolution was adopted and the House
proceeded to the consideration OF the Senate
agricultural college bill.
Mr.. j. d. Taylor, of Ohio, spoke in favor
of a proposed amendment providing that
the appropriation shall be applied only to
instruction in agriculture, the mechanic
arts, the English language and the various
branches of mathematical, physical, natural
and economic science, with special reference
to their applications in the industries of life
and to the facilities for such instruction.
After long debate the amendment sug-
gested by Mr.. Taylor was agreed to, and the
bill as amended passed without division.

A CHANCE FOR FOREIGN CAPITAL
Trying 20 Amend the Alien Land Bill as Re
laIInE to Mining Properly.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Mr. Carter,
Of Montana, spoke to-day on bill to amend
the alien land bill, so far as that law referred
to the ownership of mines in the Territories.
The bill was passed in 1886. He insisted
that the ownership of mines of gold, silver,
tin, lead, cinnabar and copper, in the Terri
tories, was not intended to be affected by the
bill. He had no quarrel to make with the
existing law, in so far as 1t related to agri-
asltural and timber lands. He did insist
