THE Missouri RIVER DRYING UP.-Pro-
fessor Richard Meagher, who has been
studying the irrigation system Of the West
and It's effects for some months, is In Kansas
City, aad makes some very startling pre-
dlctious regarding the ultimate result of
turning aside the water-courses of the
Northwest. Tho professor is preparing q
very elaborate series Of papers, to be sub.
m!tted to the Government aod to various
4cientiio societies, In which he demon
s.rates the fact hat the diversion the water
o; the mcuptain streams will eventually
cause the loss OF the larger rivers to rsVi-
garion.
Hs predicts that within ten years the
Missouri river will bs go reduced that even
he smallest OF steam craft will be unable
80 pig lis waters. Ia proof Of this fact he
cites ia present condition In comparison
With the river Of ten years ago. At tia
,iole boats were rurniGg regularly up the
Missouri TO ts hcsdwatsrs, and now only
$50 steamers SIRE in the trade, and these
are briit with such fat bottoms that they
csa almost rue IN twelve inches of water.

DIR. SPARROW.

His Method of Reviving hen Sparrow
That had tainted.
The English sparrow has long since
become numerous, and it now appears
that the bird is attaining high degree
of civilization. This appears from the
following facts:
One hanged himself in Raleigh not
long since proceeding being wit
messed by several people.
One is authentically reported to have
gotten drunk in Salisbury some time
ago from drinking some brandy that had
been spilled on the street.
In northern town q sparrow is re-
ported to have gone to the happy home
of two other sparrows, attacked the head
of the family, pecked out his eye and
driven him off altogether, and then gone
back and aIiented the affections of the
lady of the nest.
These are common occurrences among
people said to be civilized, and the spar
row is therefore taking on civilization
But Raleigh sparrow is taking on the
features of Raleigh civilization in a
philanthropic or sympathetic way.
Yesterday female sparrow while
struggling to lift piece of paper from
the street and fly away with it, tainted
dead away on the pavement-presuma-
bly, from heat or exhaustion. This was
ucar little indenture in the street
where some water had collected. A male
sparrow was on the spot in a moment and
successfully performed the revivifcatior
act. He seemed to take in the situation
at glance. He pushed the sick little
bird into the water and splashed it will
its wings until it fully revived. The SUI
was hot enough to dry the plumagt
of both birds very quickly, and thel
both flew away apparently happy ant
healthy.

cured in Asheville. For property
which month or two ago Mr.. Pearson
paid $50, 900 he has realized between
$50, 600 and 500, 200, and the promise is
that portion of the city which seemed
to be going without improvement of any
sort will become the field for future ex-
tension of business. Mr.. Pearson has
already made extensive improvements
in opening and grading streets and he
will also build several handsome houses
on lots which he has retained. The di-
versity of interest secured by the sale of
lots to various parties will further as
sure improvements. Among the pur-
chasers are some of our most enterpris-
ing business men.

making the silver question the controlling
