town of Stratford-on-Avon upon which
stands the fountain and tower-clock erected
by Mr.. CHrLDs, Of Philadelphia. as memo

foolish and undiplomatic letter to one
MuRcBIsoS, commenting upon Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS Administration, and who was there

time he is said to have had no love for
Americans. He has gotten TO DO lord

lst Louis Globe-Democrat.l

saw the other day an example Of genu-
inc reasoning and bitter resentment exhi-
bited by a spider. In one corner of my
yard. protected by an overhanging cor
nice and porch, there are several spider
webs. and in particular two, one directly
above the other at distance of six inches.
and each tenanted by a large spider. was
seated in chair IN the shade on Sunday
afternoon. when noticed them. and picked
up bit of chip and tossed 1t into the upper
web TO see what the spider would do. He
ran out and examined the chip, but.
quickly deciding it was OF no earthly value
TO a spider, set about getting rid OF 1t. He
was very methodical and went regularly
round the chip, cutting the threads on
every side, until the chip finally hung by
one strand, which he severed, and it drop
ped into the web of the spider who was
keeping house on the lower story. Out
came the latter, thinking he had caught
something, but when he found the chip
his rage seemed unbounded. It evil
IDENTIFY wasn't the first time his upper
story neighbor had dumped his refuse
into the lower web, and no was de-
termined 10 stand ii no longer. He went
up the ropes like an athlete, leaving the
chip where it fell, and in IN instant was in
the upper web and engaged In deadly
battle with its occupant; They had q
terrible fight, and rolled over and
over each other, biting and hugging
with the utmost ferocity. At last in
their tumblcs they fell through the
hole where the chip had been cut
out aud down into the lower web.
which seemed to frighten the upper
spider. who was little the larger,
and after few more tumbles he got lcosc,
and escaped up q rope to his own quar-
tiers, minus the whole of one leg and tho
half Of another. The lower spider climbed
half way up in pursuit, then stopped and
seemed TO reflect. He waited moment,
then concluded he, too, had enough, 80 he
went back and cleared out the chip and
mended his web. dropped two or three
bits Of straw into tho upper web, but the

Not for the Peoples Good.

In his Boston speech Mr.. REED took credit
for his party in making the receipts and
disbursements of the Government APP
proach each other; and he rejoiced in the
inevitable reduction of the surplus.
If the approach he speaks of had been
effected by decrease Of taxation instead
Of by unnecessary appropriations his party's
position would be commendable. II the
surplus were to be returned to the people
that could be applauded; but it is going
to pay unesrned pensions and TO meet

SAvAsyAH. GA. September 4.-The Sa-
vannah Morning Nelcs will issue its annual
trade edition tomorrow. In Its summary
Of Savannah's commerce for the year end
ed August 3lst ii shows that the business
of the city was unprecedented in her his;
tory. Her total receipts of cotton reached
956 SIT bales, an increase over the previous
year Of l2s, 900 bales, making her easily the
second cotton port of America.
The computation of the value of the
wears trade shows q total of Sl33, 800, 600,
an increase of S25. $4,000 over the previous
year. The value Of naval stores receipts
was double that of the previous year, and
her increase in foreign exports over the
wear before was 1000. 600. while the in
crease in the total tonnage entering the
port was 200. 900 tons.
Her increase in population during the
last decade was Al per cent. Pretty much
all was acquired in the past two or three
years.
The increase in the jobbing trade wa;
simply wonderful. Her merchants are ex
ceedingly prosperous. There Is very
large number of new buildings IN cours,
Of construction. and the outlook for the
year is very favorable for an even better
year than the last.

the two roads expected to build a large
and commodious union depot at the foot

Reed birds on a skewer will not be a
popular delicacy among Pennsylvania
eourmets this season if due regard is had
for the game-laws of that State. AT the
last session of the Legislature law was
passed forbidding the killing OF bobolinks
or having the bird aforesaid In ones pos
session. 1t has just come to the knowledge
Of the law-makers that the bobolink, the
reed bird, the rice bird, and the butter
bird are all one and the same bird, or be-
long to the same family. The male bobo-
link dons snowy garb of black, white,
and yellow feathers in the springtlme, and
is known as the bobollnk, but in early fall
he wears a more sober livery, and then he
ia known as the reed bird or butter bird.
Later in the autumn he descends on the
rice-felds of the South, and he is known
az the rice bird. 1t will be well for the
Pennsylvania Legislators to study up on
ornithology before they tackle the game
laws again. Boston Herald.
The reed bird, rice bird, bobolink, but
ter bird, and our ortolan are one and the
same.
The bird which we call sora is known in
the North as the rail, and when you see IN
the sporting journals accounts of rail
shooting" it jest what We know as sora-
buoOtlhE.
The mistake made by the members OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature in shutting
out the bobolink from the sports of the
field" is much more excusable than that
made by the Virginia Assembly in fixing
the law on woodcock. Here is a slip from
the Virginia Field-Sports Association
pamphlet commenting uponit:
Paragraph third was evidently written
by man who is no sportsman. II makes
the close season on woodcock from April
ist to November LIST. Whoever wrote that
did not know what he was writing about.
The woodcock is a peculiar bird. He
mates in January. matches in February,
and his young are full-grown July LIST.
The best time TO shoot woodcock is from
july LIST TO January 1st. To permit him u
be shot in April, Nav, and June is an out
rage. and would destroy the half-grown
young as well as the old birds. To forbid
shooting him in IN November and Decs sbnSld
