Parrot and Hawk.

The young quail's worst enemies are
the hawks. Where they all come from,
and how they live when the quail are
big enough TO keep out of the way, is
one OF the mysteries. At other seasons
a hawk in the park is rarity. just
now there are lots Of them.
There is one hawk out there whose
quail killing days are over. His down
fall was accomplished by the big red
and green parrot that lives around i'll
the trees near the Casino. Capt.
Thompson saw the hawk swoop down
into the brush when he was quite a
distance off. Pretty soon there was
the most extraordinary racket in the
scrub oak.
The parrot had the hawks neck in
his claws, and was driving away with
his hook bill at the hawks head The
hawk was willing enough to quit bus
couldn't.
They few up and down, first one on
top and then the other. 1t was not a
long fight. The hawk beat his adver-
sary with his wings, and even got his
talons and beak to work, but the red
and green bird was too big and strong
for him. and would not release his grip
a moment. Before the people got very
near the hawk quit fighting.
The parrot had apparently sunk his
talons through the hawks neck, and
that is probably the reason they did
not separate. When the hawk got
quiet the parrot managed to disengage
himself and few up into tree. where
he remained scolding and straighten-
ing his feathers. He was pretty badly
scratched up and one of his eyes seemed
to be gone, but he had killed the hawk.

were worked by hundreds Of miners,
thousands OF dollars being extracted
from them. Like the Swauk deposits,
they seem to be ineXhaustible, as at this

splendid returns, by many miners. "

inspected many of these discoveries, pro.

own State and that OF these classes the
Washington ores are of superior excel

Counties magnetitcs and hcmatites exist
in great quantity, and the value OF these
varieties cannot be over estimated, as
from them is made that quality of steel
designated the Bessemcr, and acknowl-
edged the king of SteeIs throughout tho
world. Our magnetites and hematites
are peculiarly adapted to the manufac-
ture of steel, because of the small guam
tity Of phosphorus they carry and the
high per cent of metallic iron contained
in them. | look forward with supreme
con tidence to the time when Washington
BeSsemer steel will tie one of her princi-
pal manufactures, and to the time when
steel works will be seen in operation
throughout the great hematite and mag
netite ore belt of the State.
"The fact that the railway develop

phenomenal proportions, and that iron
highways are penetrating the very seat
Of these and deposits of other iron ores

rants the prophecy that within less than
two decades the output of iron in this
State will lead that of any other iron
producing division of the Pacific Slope.
The presence of large quantities of
the red hematite ore greatly Simplities
the process Of reducing the other iron
ores, because the introduction of a
proper proportion of red hematte into a
mass of the other ores causes the whole
to reduce one-third quicker than if

Revolutionary patriot and financier, died
in debtors prison, and lies buried in
Christ Churchyard, Philadelphia,
"More than once" history goes on to

from seemingly fatal crisis by borrow
ing money on his own name and that of
his firm. The 81, 500, 900, which enabled
Washington to carry out his last cam

his exertons and on his own notes.
From 1871 to 1854 Robert Morris
was uperintendent of Finance, and
was vested with complete control over
the monetary affairs Of the country.
Here again he several times used his
reputation as q man of great wealth to
rescue the Treasury from embarrass-

Congress to reimburse the heirs
