INTELLIGENT EAGLES.
They Feed Their Captive Young by Dropping
Fish Into a Pen From MIdair.


Omaha World Herald.
81 see q great deal Of talk in the
papers every little while. - said q man
who has built many miles of railroad
and contracted for any number of en-
gineering enterpris es, "abouT the fool
ishness of having the eagle as the emblem
Of our country. He is represented
as a cowardly, thievish, unlntel-
lgent bird, and any number
of other fowls Of the air are
put forward as candidates for the proud
position of the nation IS bird. Now l am
not an ornitholOgist, so | am not pre-
pared to argue over the relative merits
of the different flyers, and l must con-
TESS that the eagle IS thief always and
q coward very often, but that he Is lack
ing in intelligence l most emphatically
deny. Let me tell you one little story
of him that puts him in q very favorable
light.
''Years ago, - he began, ''I was en-
gagged in building big western road and
one spring day we pitched our camp on
the banks of one of the turbulent rivers
of the region aud settled down for
three months job on TRviue bridge. A
few days later we noticed an eagle 8 nest
perched up the bluff across the river,
and the following Sunday two of our men
swan the stream during the absence of
the old birds and brought back two vIgOr-
Gus eaglets with them
1--WE hurrIedly patched up q pen Of
pine slabs for the captiYes, making it
about seven feet square and leaving lots
of space between the slabs on the top and
sides so that we could have a good look
at the squalling punches Of feathers.
The parent birds came back about DOOn,
and when they found their little ones
gone they kicked up a frightful row and
flew about in search OF them as though
they were distracted. When they final
" discovered where the eaglets were they
circled around in the air ever the pen,
keeping out of reach of our rifles, and
shrieked advice TO their chicks about
keeping up their spunk and making
themselves comfortable as plainly as
human beings could.
"Then the old birds few away and
come back after a little with two big
fish in their talons. They eircled and
circled around over the pen and finally
let the fish drop straight as q die right
between the slabs in the roof. They
kept up this performance every day for
fortnight, and never in all that time
did they miss hitting the pen with the
fish they dropped. Their parental
affection and intelligence so worked
on US that we put the eagIets
back on the other side of the river again,
and tell you it was really affecting to
see the way those two old birds hung
around and earessed their offspring.
They seemed TO understand that we were
friendly to them, and during the rest of
the time that we were there they flew all
about the camp, and had no hesitation
in coming down to pick up the scraps of
meat and fish we would throw them. [
L can IT say that they shed tears over cur
departure, but viii warrant that they
felt the pangs Of separation as keenly as
We did. -

William Smith, the New Paymaster- Cen.
eral.
Gen. William Smith, the new paymas-
ter-general, was born in Orwell, VT. ,
March %, 1881, and was educated at the
university of that state, and graduating
from which, he studied law for q short
time, and subsequently taught a school
in the South. On the goth of August
1862, he received an appointment as ad-
ditional paymaster in the volunteer
forces, and remained in the
service until July 20, 1866,
when he was honorably mus tered
out. During his service in this capacity
his brother, now Col. Rodney Smith of
the pay corps, was his clerk, and re-
celved an appointment in the regular
service sufficiently early to enable him to
reach higher grade than his brother.
William Smith was breveted lieutenant
colonel on the 18th of March, 1866, for
faithful services. He then returned to
Minnesota, in which state he has ever
since had his home. He was appointed
paymaster in the regular army, with the
rank Of major, on the 18th of January,
1867, and was promoted to be deputy
psymaster-general, with the rank of
lieutenant-ooloneI, September, 1888.
He was at the time of his selection as
paymaster-general of the army fourth in
rank in his corps, the senior being his
brother, in whose behalf as q candidate
he was earnestly making an effort. He
was not candidate for the honor HIM
self, and was entirely surprised when he
received the news of his appointment.

THE AFTERNOON

dear to the younger population of Salem
as that of the visionary, Kris-Kriugle in
! Christmas time-that the rabbits lay
beautifully colored eggs at Easter.
The nests are sometimes made of candy
| and the eggs of the same, but the usual
custom is to improvise, of grass or straw,
and place within them real eggs, dyed
| in every conceivable hue. These are dis
covered by the little folks early Sunday
morning, and an interesting sight it is to
see the pretty childish faces aglow with
| great delight and anticipation, as they
soamper from hedge to bush in quest of
! the rGood Rabbit So freshly laid eggs.
The children use the eggs in the well
known game which consists in testing
the strength of the shells; there are
| numerous other popular sports and OBJ
servances, and many traditions, one of
which is, that the sun dances in the sky
on Easter Sunday morning.
To the visitor at Salem, during the
| Faster festivities :, the early morning SER
| vices on Sunday in the graveyard, are
the most imposing and weird in charac-
ter. Long before the first faint streaks
of dawn are seen in the eastern horizon

the steeple, high above the roofs of the
IailesL houses, anu Lnere, III tHS ueepesE
darkness that precedes the dawn, the
sweet, solemn music of q Moravian
hymn floats out from the brazen throsted
comets upon the cool, quiet air of early
morning-soft and low at first, each sue
ceeding note swelling in volume, evok-
ing countless echoes that are waited
back from distant vale and hillside, I'M
til all the air seems filled with the sweet,
Joyous strains, announcing 'tChrist is
