An Extinct Bird.

A bird is now on exhibition at the Academy
of Natural Sciences, on Logan Square, Phia-
delphia, that could not be bought for love or
money. If any member Of the Eight O'CLOCK
Club will visit the Academy and go up among
the bird he will find O curious Web
footed. short winged specimen, on the label
Of which is the name plautus impennis, or
great aux. The Latin word impennis, which
means wingless, is not strictly correct, as the
birds have wings, but so small are they that
they are only useful as fins in the water.
The high price at which this bird il held IS
due 10 its rarity. There are but four preserved
specimens in this country, and about seventy
skins and eggs in the various museums OF the
world. OF the four in this country the Acad-
envy is the lucky possessor OF not only q bird,
but an egg.
Many persons would laugh. no doubt if
they were told that this pear-shaped bit OF
rough, black-dotted shell Is worth the enor-
nous sum of $1,000. Yet l doubt IL the
Academy people would part With their
treasure for twice that sum-. The great aux
has become extinct, and, like the roc Of the
ancients. only its bones are occasionally
found. The last living type of this bird was
seen on the small islands oH the Southern
coast of Newfoundland about thirty years
ago. The last specimens that were captured
were secured off the coast Of Ireland IN 1874
At one time the aux was very .plenuful ia

in Greenland and Labrador In North Amer
lea. In 1868 a specimen was found dead near
st. Augustine. Labrador. Ii was sent 70
Europe, where 1t was sold for $3.50. The only
museums in North America that possess
specimens Of the aux and its egg ara the
Smithsonian Institution at Washington, the
American Museum of Natural History, Cen:
trail Park, New York, and the Academy or
Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. The specl-
mems owned by the latter institution are the
finest in existence.
The great aux was the largest of the family.
measuring about thirty-iye inches IN length.
The p~luInage was a glossy black above, with
a pure white breast and white underparts.
There was II white oval spot between the eyes
and the bill. The bird laid but one egg, and
this was on the bare and rocky cliffs of the
desolate northern island. The egg, of q
white or creamy ground color. spotted and
blotched with dark brown or black, Is pyri-
form. or p~ear-shaped, and as large as the egg
of the American swan. An egg was sold IN
London several years ago for 800, and u was
a very imperfect one even at that price,.

There are several varieties of this plant, each
having its admirers; but the one here men,
toned is the most vigorous and superior to all
others.
Before planting any of these climbers it is
well TO remember that their rapid growth and
vigor depend largely upon depth and fertility
of soil. Have the ground dug deep, at least
eighteen inches, mixing a generous supply OF
rotted manure through the soil. Plant the
vines at the same depth that they were before,
spread the roots out their tull length and cover
with fine, black soil, putting the clay soil on
top. Mulch the ground around the wins with
about two inches in depth of rotted straw or
leaves and place some large stones on top OF
this. If the weather is dry, water occasionally
in the cool of the evening. IL will require
about one year for the plants TO become well
rooted.
Strong, healthy plants, grown in pots, can
generally be had at our markets or bought
from the florist for from 50 cents TO rs cents
each. A common red cedar with its branches
shortened in makes a nice support for any of
these vines. When it is entirely covered over
and the vine in flower it presentsa very pretty
stOht.

True 20 General Jackson.

There used 10 be an old fellow up in my
country" said Judge Upton Young to a st.
Louis Republic man, who was famous IN the
early days as a militia colonel. AS q drill
master he was perfect and in discipline very
severe. Just before the war he had q good
militia company and he closed eyeryd drill with
these words:
Company, attention. All who favor
General Jackson for President Of the United
States. three PAGES TO the front. Forward,
marchl'
'The entire command always voted. But
one day one of the soldiers got into his head
that General Jackson was dead. and so at the
next drill. when the colonel had given his
customary order. this fellow stood stock still.
This insubordination created a momentary
panic, but the colonel recovered himself and
with his face purple with rage. shouted;
Jonathan Thompson, attention. You vote
for General Jackson or Ill have You court
martialed and shot, sir. Three PAGES 70 tho
front. John Thompson. Forward, march,,
And you bet John Thompson marched

LATER EVENTS.

As the wheels of time rolled on civil events
Peace with England and independence was
followed by a stronger and Federal c~onstitu-
ton. which was adopted by Virginia in a con-
v~ention which sat in another building in Rich
mond after high debate. War with the In
dams. with England and with Mexico followed
in succession, but none of these disturbed
the devout w~orshippers IN this building. Az
last the lrrepressible conflict over slavery.
which smouldered and hickered ever after the
Revolution, burst forth in a furious flame. and
the terrible conflict between the States COM
menced in 1861. Richmond became the Con
federate capital, and was b~eleaguered by i'm
mense armies. and for months the roar OF bat
tie resounded around her walls. At last
the end came, and the troops OF the Desiegers
marched past the old church to occupy the
fallen city.

WE RApr1sr cAMPMEETINe.

The committee for the location OF
the place for holding the approach
ing campmeeting will meet in this
city in a few days. The committee
is composed of Mr.. Wood, of Iu-
dependence, R. E. Steele, of Gay
Hill, and w. H. Thomas, of this
city, and while each favors his own
section of the county it is believed
that if the use of the Fireman's
park, of this city, is rendered, the
meeting will be held here. There
is no doubt of the advantages OF
this place over any other in the
county that could be selected. 1t
is the most accessible. by rail, and
the park is so well adapted for the
purpose that no other place that
could be fixed up temporarily would
compare with it, besides those who
did not wish to go into camp could
come and attend the meetings and
find accommodations with friends
or at the hotel. Those who do
camp can get from the bakery's
their bread and save good deal of
cooking. People from towns up
and down the roads who would not
perhaps go to the trouble of hitch
ing up teams or taking them out of
their crops to drive to the camp
ground, if at any other point in the
county, could come here by rail and
spend IL day or as many as they
like.
From business standpoint, to
say say nothing of the meeting 9th
erwise, the meeting will be good
thing for Brennan, and coming as it
does in the dull month of July will
break the monotony and fill the city
with visitors for the two weeks of
its duration. The proposition of
holding this campmeeting at some
point IN this county originated at
Independence and has received the
Endorsement of the churches at
Chappell Hill, Good Hope, Graball,
Gay Hill and the First and Second
Baptist churches of this city, all of
which will do everything IN their
power to make the meeting a sue
cess.
