That the male bird should be broad

will not, to most men at least, seem
strange.
Another correspondent relates m

robin feeding her young, was surprised
to see wren alight on the edge of the

" WOOOS Wncn SulQ I'd my
self; There is nothing in the woods"
sat down upon q rock. Then lifted
up my eyes and beheld newly con-
structed crows nest in hcmloclz tree
near by. The nest was but little above
the level of the top of n ledge of rocks
only few yards away that crowned
the rim of the valley. But it was placed
behind the stem of the tree from the
rocks, so as TO be secure from OBSERVE
ton on that side. Tho crow evidently
knew what She was about Presently
heard what appeared to be the voice of
young crow in the tree tops not
faroR- This knew to be the voice of
the female and that she was being fed
by the male. She was probably laying,
or about beginning to lay eggs in the
nest. Crows, as we'll as most of our
smaller birds, always go through the re-
hearsal of this act of the parent feeding
the young many times while the young
are yet long way in the future. The
mother bird seems timid and babyish
and both In voice and manner assumes
the character of u young fledTeling.
The male brings the food and seems
more than usually solicitous about her
welfare Is it to conserve her strength
or to make an impression on the dcvel-
o2ing eggs? The same thing may be
observed among the domestic pigeons
md is always sign that new brood
is not far off.
When the young do come the female
is usually more active in feeding them
than the male. Among the birds of
prey, like hawks and eagles, the female

care for her young. Among all ami
mails the affection of the mother for
her offspring seems to he greater than
that OF her mate, though among the
birds the malo sometimes shows O
superabundance of paternal regard that
takes in the young of other species.
Thus correspondent sends me this
curious incident Of n male blnebird and
some young vireos: pair of bluebirds
were rearing their second brood in a
box on the porch of my correspondent,
and pair of vireos had nest with
young in some lilac bushes but few
feet away. The writer had observed
the male bluebird perch in the lilacs
near the young vireOs, and, he feared,
with murdcrous intent. On such
occasions the mother VIRGO would
move among the upper branches
much agitated. II she grew de-
monstrative the bluebird would drive
her away. One afternoon the
observer pulled away the leaves sc

ID. R. Robinson's Resignntion.

The Phenix Herald says: The resignation of D. B. Robinson as general manager of the San Anto- nio & Aransas Pass railroad, in Texas, created no little surprise among our people here this morn ing. As president of the Santa Fe, Prescott X Phenix railroad, now un- der construction northward from Phenix towards connection with the Atlantic X Pacific through lines. Mir. Robinson excites deep interest in all the citizens of central Arizona. Why did he resign a position that was paying a salary of S20,0O per year.
 President Robinson is known in railroad circles as one of the best "all round" railroad men in the United States. A civil engineer by profession. his connection with the Mexic an Central and Colorado Mid land roads alone, established his reputation in the department of construction. In executive ability. also. to successfully direct railroad after the same had reached the stage of operation, he IS by no means deficient, as his record with the Atlantic X Pacific, X. T. & 5. F. lines has demonstrated.
 As result of investigations into the reason for President Robinson's action and his future plans, We think it within the limit of strong probability that, for the present, this gentleman will give his ener- getic attention to the North and South road, hurrying its completion as fast as possible. His professional pride would prevent him from com hitting himself to any enterprise not likely to prove largely successful, and his probable determination to "stay with" the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phenix R. R.. is pretty strong proof that there is larger measure of railroad development and pros perity involved therein than even the most sanguine of Salt River val ley people have ever imaginad.

A drive out to the railroad work this morning discovered Contractor Toohey at the head of his forces, pushing work northward with the enthusiasm of one who has good bargain and iss backed up by un- doubtedly isolid capital. Thenty- three scrapers were crowding the six-horse railroad blow, and B men kept pushing over 90 sleek mules and strong and shining horses un- comfortably close to Assistant Chief Engineer Patrick's flags and signal poles, as he and his surveying party tried to keep grade and curve stakes ahead of the work.
 Only about 200 yards separated the graders at noon to-day from Grand avenue. A four degree curve from north to northwest will change the present course so as to follow along the southerly side of that thoroughfare. Contractor, T Tooheysex- poets to move his camp in day or two out to the avenue.
 The six degree curve at the south west corner of Collins Capitol Ad- dtion is we'll turned, and all the work thus far done is so substantial that Chief Engineer Gibson, before his return to Gila Bend this morn- ing, expressed his perfect satisfac- ton herewith.
 Although the route thus far lies over level country, the grading contract calls for an average fill or embankment of three feet. This means the moving of 10000 cubic yards of earth, at an expense of Sl 900 per mile. That again guar antees a substantial roadbed, over which fast express and freight trains can be moved in safety.

GENERAL NEWS.

Yellow fever is increasing in Brazil. The Pope again talks of leaving Rome.
 A Butte, Montana, telegram says: Coroner Code, of Evanston, Uintah county, has arrived here after a journey of two weeks duration to Jackson's lake in the northwest cor ner of Wyoming, where he held an inquest over the body of the late Robert Ray Hamilton, of New York, who was drowned in the Snake river more than a year ago. On October 10th the body was disinterred and carefully examined for such marks as would identify 1t. These were the filling of the teeth and fracture of the tibia, which had shortened the left leg. As result of the in- vestigation the coroner is satisfied that the remains are Hamilton's.
 A Sioux Falls, S. D., telegram says: The United States grand jury re- turned eighteen indictments against the officers and directors of the Louisiana lottery. The evidence was all laid before the jury in the form of affidavits and kept with the utmost secrecy. The department at Washington brought the charges before this court for the reason that their efforts in other states before the United States grand juries had been frustrated. The United States marshal and his deputies leave this evening for New Orleans to arrest the president, vice-president, secre- tary, treasurer and directors of the lottery company. The indictments are for transmitting lottery adver- tisements through the mails in vio- lation of the anti-lottery law passed by the last congress. The extreme penalty is five years imprisonment and 5000 fine.
