bert, father of the Toibert boys, who
have long been terror and disgrace to
this section, was last night taken from
the guards near Fort Stephens and
lynched by mob. Charlie Tolbert the
eldest son, is in custody and may escape
mob violence. Tom Tolbert and his
youngest brother, Walter escaped after
shooting Tom Cole and are at large,
though armed posses with bloodhounds
are securing the swamps, and their cap
ture is only question of time.

Too valuable For a Race track.

New YORK, Nov. I'm all probability
Jerome Park, for generation far famed
as one of the great racing tracks of the
state, will soon cease to exist as dis
tinct tract of land, and will be broken
up into building sites. A syndicate of
wealthy men has secured an option on
the land at the price of $500, 900, and an
nounces its intention of taking the title
to the property.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-A New York
dispatch says the treasury departments
construction of the presidents procla-
nation of September 1st, which euaran-
tines all ships with immigrants in the
cabin or steerage for twenty days, caused
the detention of the Hamburg-American
steamship Suevia, and the Hill line
steamship Richmond Hill in the bay all
day yesterday. The Suevia has 24S
cabin passengers, among them eighty
nine citizens and 159 aliens. The steam
ship arrived in quarantine Saturday
night. The quarantine officials fumi-
gated her, and allowed her to proceed to
her dock. She was intercepted by the
cutter Washington, and ordered to re-
main in the bay until orders were re-
ceiyed from Washington permitting her
to go up. The Richmond Hill, from
London, was also passed by the quaran-
tine officials. She is also anchored near
Bedloe's island. She has sixty-nine
cabin passengers and six steerage pas
sengers. Sixty of her cabin passengers
are aliens. As the treasury department
was closed yesterday, agents of the
steamships could not get an order re-
leasing them and they remained at an
chor all night. As they have clean bills
of health, they will doubtless be allowed
to land by the federal authorities some
time today. Eight liners today have
about l 900 steerage and 600 cabin pas
sengers.

AUSTRALIAN BOWER BIRDS.
Feathered Songsters with q High APP
probation of the Beautiful.


Feathered songsters with a High APP
probation OF the Beautiful.
The most remarkable instance of
@stheticism among birds is that ex-
hibited by the Australian bower birds,
which, according to Chambers Journal,
build long galleries in which to play,
adorning them with shells, feathers,
leaves, bones or any colored or glittering
object which comes in their way. Capt.
Stokes describes one of these bower
birds as taking a shell alternately from
each side of the bower and carrying it
through in its beak. Dumholtz des-
cribes several of these playhouses of the
bower birds. He says they are always
to be found sin small brushwood, never
in the open field; and in their immediate
vicinity the bird collects a mass of differ
ent kinds of objects, especially snail
shells, which are laid in two heaps, one
at each entrance-the one being always
much larger than the other. There are
frequently hundreds of shells, about 300
in one heap and thirty in the other.
There is usually handful of green ber-
El6S partly lHSlu6 Gllo DOW0T.
In his interesting book, Among Can
nibals, LumhoItz describes play ground
of what would appear to be a different
species of that bird, showing even a
greater aesthetic taste. He says: On
the top of the mountain / heard in the
dense scrubs the loud and unceasing
voice of bird. carefully approached
it, sat on the ground and shot it. 1t was
one of the bower birds, with gray and
very modest pIumage and of the size of
thrush. AS / picked up the bird my
attention was drawn to fresh covering
of green leaves on the black soil. This
was the birds place of amusement
which beneath the dense scrubs formed
a square about yard each way, the
ground having been cleared of leaves and
rubbish. On this neatly cleared spot
the bird had laid large, fresh leaves, one
by the side of the other, with considera-
BILE regularity, and close by he SAT sing
his work. As soon as the leaves decay
they are replaced by new ones. On this
excursion / saw three such places of
amusement all near each other, and all
bad fresh leaves from the same kind of
trees, while large heap of dry, withered
leaves was lying close by. It seems
that the bird scrapes away the mold
every time it changes the leaves, so as
to have a dark background, against
which the green leaves make better
appearance. Can anyone doubt that
this bird has the sense of beauty?

| nature and partly on account of the
character of the man who generally in
augurate and attempt to direct them
AS long as the crusade against vice is
confined to preaching and stirring up
public sentiment by appeals there is no
trouble. The originators of it and the
people who enlist are generally eminently
fitted for that kind of business, but when
it undertakes to construct and set in
motion machinery for prosecution of
offenders then it's troubles begin. AS a
rule neither the officers or the rank and
file in these movements are willing to
engage iR the detective work needed for
the purpose, or if willing are not fit.
Another class must be called
on for this work-a class which
engages in the detection of crime not for
sentimental reasons but simply for the
revenue which it brings them, and many
of the members of which are very often
ready to shut their eyes if that will pay
better than to keep them open. To
make good selections from this class is
difficult at best, but when as in case of
these societies the pgrson who makes the
selections is totally without experience
in such business, and besides is an en-
thusiast, the chances Of being duped are
greatly multiplied. A great many move
ments of the kind that Dr. Parkhurst has
started, movements well meaning and
capable of much good if they
in which they are conceived, come
to grief precisely in the same way
in which this has come to grief. That is
their tendency, and it can only be ar
rested by taking the executive manage
ment of them out of the hands of enthu-
siastic agitators, who set them in motion
and placing them in the hands of cooler
headed and more worldly men. Clergy
men are not, we are inclined to think,
good people to hunt out vice. They
have neither the knowledge nor the train
ing to fit them for detective work, and if
they are to remain clergymen it is better
that they should not acquire it. They
have a very important part to perform in
the regeneration of the world, but it
lies rather in the direction of rousing the
dormant moral feeling of the commune
ty and creating healthy public senti-
ment than in the ferreting out of crimi-
nails or the discovery and accumulation
of evidence for their conviction.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Tie Unmarried Woman, by Eliza Ches-
ter, is wise and charming disquisition
upon a delightful subject, The woman
indicated is she who has passed beyond
those years of fluttering expectancy dur
ing which, according to DR.. Holmes, she
never meets an unmarried man without
having his monosyllable ready for him;
the woman meant is the 'smaiden LADY,
of civilized society, the ''sold maid" of
Doors, the ''wall-fower' of the satirists
and the dreary funny men," When at
her best, as she is so often found, she is
being to be regarded with lofty esteem
and warm affection and loving service;
sometimes with high reverence, as one
who has chosen the wiser part, or who
pursues the path of duty instead of in
clination. Of her and her disappoint-
ments and aspirations, her sacrifices and
rewards, her possible career and the OBJ
stacles in it's way, our author writes SYM
pathetically, discriminatory and cheer
lily. The book is practical as well as en-
tertaining; indeed of quite as much in
terest, and perhaps value, to the man
and the married woman, whose horizon
it may broaden, as to her with whom it
directly deals. (New York: Dodd, Mead

One of the most important paragraphs
in the Presidents message is that which
deals with our relations with Canada,
and hints at retaliation for her unfrienly
acts by taking away the privileges which
her great railroad lines, notably the Ca
madam Pacific, enjoy in our territory. 1t
is undoubtedly true that the great bulk
of the receipts of that railroad comes
from business originating in this country
and which it could not enjoy were it not
for the privileges granted it by our
government. Without that business it
would not be able to earn running
expenses, and would soon be in bank
ruptcy. The American trunk lines have
been complaining for a long time past of
the injustice done them by the oompeti-
ton of this road, which is practically
free from the restrictions of our inter-
state commerce law, and appealing to
Congress to rectify it, So far they have
not succeeded, because there has been a
feeling that the Canadian competition,
though injurious to our railroads, has
been beneficial to the people by tending
to keep down freight rates. But Cana
da's unneighborly acts are undoubtedly
gradually creating a public sentiment
favorable to the demands of our railroads
for legislation looking to the restriction,
if not the entire annulment O. the privi-
leges granted to the Canadian Pacific.

DR.. Parkhurst's society for the exter-

We come to grief very early in its career,
through the iniquitous conduct of one of
its chief workers who has been caught TAX
ing hush money from keepers of bro thels
whose detection was the chief object
of DR.. Parkhurst's crusade. The Doctor
stoutly maintains that his agent is the
victim of a conspiracy ooncocted to dis
credit and cripple the work of his society
but the evidence seems to be of a nature
inconsistent with this theory. Indeed
the evidence appears to be conclusive
that the agent was guilty Of the offence
which is charged against him. The mis-
fortune which has befallen DR.. Park
hurst and his society is one which move
ments of this kind are exceedingly liable
to encounter, partly by reason of their

The American reader of the histories
of the French Revolution often find it
difficult to understand the significance of
some of the most important events. The
institutions of an absolute government
are SO different from those of republic;
and the institutions of Old France were
so peculiar, even when comparison is
made with those of other absolute govern
ments; that the student of the great
Revolution must take good care lest he
miss the spirit and significance in the
rush and tragedy of the upheaval. Mr..
Edward J. Lowell has written book
entitled 'sThe Eve of the French Revolu-
ton" published by Houghton, Miff1in &
Co.; Portland: Loring Short & Harmony
which meets admirably these needs of
the Anglo Saxon reader. The authority
and limitations of the king; the power
and characteristics OF the court; the
clergy and the spirit of inquiry that was
circumscribing their influence; the no.
bility; the army; the conditions, rights
and burdens of the peasantry; the taxes;
town life; conditions of labor; the works
and influences of Valtaire, Montesqieu,
Helvetius, Holbach, Rousseau and others;
and in short, whatever else went to make
up the sum of the political, Intellectual,
religious, social and economic environ
ment of Frenchmen of the reign of Louis
XVI are all explained in Mr.. LowelPs
comprehensive work. He takes hap
pier view of the condition of the French
people on the eve of the Revolution than
usually prevails, although he considers
their lot hard one.

instead of discoursing on the evils of

wisely leave to medical men and benevo-

words are their own-pilgrims into the

cludes health. The book in which they
embody these ideals seems to be sensi-
