and neither ask nor desire any further honor
than continued friendship and good will Gem
tiemen, have said enough, more, indeed. than
L expected to say. Once more, let me return
to you my sincerest thanks. You have glad
dened the heart and frightened the footsteps
OF an old man, Your devoted friend, i'll his
descent OF the hill of life when he has almost
reached its foot, May God bless you all, is his
earnest prayer"
Mr. cLEvELAND's REMARKS.
Ex-President Cleveland responded to the
sentiment American citizenship" He said in
opening: IL follow the promptings of a heart
full OF devotion and veneration, us I tender
from the democracy of the great state of New
York her tribute of affection for the man whom
we honor tonight y We rejoice in the
example afforded on this occasion of genuine
American citizenship, revealed TO us as a safe
and infallible interpreter of duty in all the
eme rgeneies of n long and honorable public
care er. and as an unfailing guide to usefulness
and fame"
Mr.. Cleveland then proceeded to point out
some of the elements making up tho strength
and vigor of American citizenship. Here"
he sald, 1.-The plain people of the land are the
rulers. Their investiturc of power is only nc-
compsnied with the conditions that they should
love their country, that they should jealously
guard and protect its interests and fair fame
and that all the intelligence with which they
are endowed should be devoted to an under
standing of its needs and the promotion OF its
welfare"
After referring briefly TO frugality and
economy as important factors IN American
life. ho said: Upon the question of cheapness
and economy, whether il relates to individuals
or to the operations Of the government, the
democratic party, true to its creed and its
traditions, will upalterably remain attached to
our plain and frugal people. They are
especially entitled 20 the watchful care and
protection OF their government. and when they
are borne down with burdens greater than
they can bear. and ara made the objects of
scorn by hard taskmasters We viii not leave
their side. Az the great German reformer, in
sisting upon his religious convictions, in the
! presence OF his accusers, exclaimed: i can do

very happily says:
Tones and notes are almost hopelessly
tangled. His low notes are good" " her
high notes ore thin" are usual with many
writers who should know better. A mole
is for the eye, not for the ear; tone is for
the ear. not for the eve. We cannot see a
Tone nor hear a noe. Her high tones are
good" "His low tones are bad" tell the
truth, and do not pain those who are
striving TO be accurate.
Again. measure, bar, and time, are badly
mixed. play such bar" meaning play
such a measure Written in triple time"
meaning in " triple measure" are usual OK
pressions. Many of those who would cor
rect this misuse are not clear IN their
handling Of the word measure; nine out or
ten would probably define it as the space
between two bars, but is it not really "a
proup of strong and weak pulses" repre-
sented by the "space between two bars 2"
The group is the measure, the bar has no use
except to show the strong pulse.
Scale and keyare also contounded. Writ
ZEN in such a scale" meaning in such a
ke,Ip is not uncommon. A scale IS the SIM
Nest little exercise that can be written OF

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.
A New Flying Agency that WIN Be Useful
for Times of War.
Now York Timesl

The following account OF an experiment
Of an Italian officer has recently been tor
warded to this country. 1t assures, 1t is
alleged, q successful mode of using pigeons
rs messengers In time of war which viii
add very much 20 their utility. Hitherto u
has been necessary in order TO establish
a communication by means of carrier
pigeons between two points, TO have
two sets of birds, ono at each, end.
Each set Of pigeons only travelled one
way. and thus a great deal Of time was lost,
and it was necessary to have large mum
Der of pigeons. Captain Malagolps method
will. II found practicable. obviate this by
enabling the same set of pigeons 70 carry
messages in both directions. His eX-
periments, which lasted for several
months. we're made between Clylta
Vecchia and Rome, forty miles apart. and
he began by taking fifty pigeons TO
the former place. where he put them
in dove-cOte and let them ont, Few at
time, teaching them to find their way
back from the outskirts of the town. He
then taught them TO know the way TO
Rome BIZ successive stages, letting them
hy back at each stage to Clyita Vecchla.
When they reached the last stage on the
road he took them ON to Rome, keeping
them in confinement for several days, and
when released they at once flew back 70
Civita Vecchia. He repeated the expert
ment several times. and then kept his
pigeons in Rome for six months, so that
this doye-cote became their home' ana
they built their nests IN 1t.
In order 10 teach them the road from
Rome to Civita Vecchia be put In practice
in the reverse sense the plan be had adopt
ed in the journey from Civita Vecchla,
but.-and this is the ingenious point in his
method of training--he kept them without
food at Rome for several days during this
course of training. feeding them only on
their arrival at Ciyita Vecchia. Thus the
pigeons were, upon the one hand, brought
TO prefer their dove-cote at Rome, where
they had stayed for several months and
had built their nests. and, upon the
other hand, to know that once set at
liberty. their food would be at Civita Wee
CHA and not at Rome. The training being
thus completed, Captain Malagoll put II
the other day TO practical test. He kept
his pigeons shut up OF Rome for three
DAYS without food and then let them
loose. After hesitating for few seconds
thew took their fight and IN two
hours time he received telegram al
uouncing their arrival at Ciylta Vecchia.
After the lapse of only few minutes from
the receipt OF the telegram the pigeons
were back in Rome, having been fed 40
Civita Yecchia. Ii is said that the Minis
tiers of War in Germany and Austria are
both going to have experiments made IN
the same direction.

Green Brown was arrested on sus-
picion of having committed the crime.
There was strong circumstantial evidence
against him, and old Mr.. Hoods relatives

that the law should take its course. He
telegraphed TO Governor Richardson that

ALICE SMELLS BURGLARS.
The Youthful Adventure of Mrs. McCrea-
Green.

A Chicago special to the New York Word
says: The recent SMELL McCrea-G Green cpl
sode (Which created such an excitement at
Old Point, Va.), the fair principal in which
is now ploughing tie billows of the wide
Atlantic, recalls, among other incidents Of
that lady's somewhat checkered career,
not only the sombre memory Of the muir
der OF Amos j. Smell, Mrs. McCrea's father,
two years ago, but also another tragic oc-
currence IN the life of Alice Snell-McCrea
which has not heretofore appeared IN
print. The affair, however, was somewhat
enlarged upon in an address delivered TO
the old settlersof Jeferson-then suburb
of but now within the corporate limits OF
Chicago-where Mr.. Smell lived at the time,
the circumstances having been narrated in
detail by Mr.. Smell himself.
Some twenty years ago, when Alice was
a mere child, and while her father happen
ed TO be absent from home collecting rail
way ties for tho Pacific Railway COMPANY,
for which he had perpetual contract, the
house was entered In the night by gang
VI burglars The marauders' having beard
that Mr.. Smell kept in his house the large
sulns Of money which he received from the
railroad company, were determined 10 Sc
cure tho coveted booty. Covering Mrs.
Smell with q revolver they seized tho IN
fortunate lady and subjected her to
