Birds Have Decided Preferences ~ to tho
Location of Their Nests.
Pearson's Weekly.l
Awriter in recent number Of. Nature makes
some interesting remarks on the fact that,
Notwithstanding the vast amount Of litera-
ture that has been published on the subject
of birds and their habits, no naturalists
have yet seemed to notice the decided
preference shown by certain species of birds
for particular kinds OF trees.
According to the facts collected by this
observer, jays and rocks prefer to rest from
flight on oak trees, and are usually to be
found in greater numbers on them than on
other trees; fnches like lines best, and
black caps give the preference to laurels.
The nightingale finds its favorite haunt in
nut groves, and the thrush mostly frequents
the birch and the ash. The beech tree is
the peculiar fancy OF the woodpecker, and
the tits and their various first and second
cousins are usually found most numerously
assembled in the blackthorn bushes

investigation. It was the 1st of April, 1854,
that battle was fought at Five Forks,
wholly decisive, far reaching in its results
and ending in the rout of the euemy's
forces The whole nation was exulting.
when suddenly the news was flashed over
the land that Major General Warren, the
commander Of the Fifth Corps, had been re-
lieved of his command. by order Of General
Sheridan, on the field of battle.
The battle as it was fought was series OF
hank movements, and was, as such, wholly
unanticipated by Sheridan. Warren had
enemy at the Forks, and was pursuing his
success when he sent his Adjutant General
to Sheridan to report that he was in the
enemy's rear, had taken large number of
prisoners and was pursuing his advantages,
when the stroke fell, in the midst of the
victory he had done SO much to secure.
''Tell General Warren" said Sheridan, that
I've got to say to him." He had already re-
placed him without any attempt to commu-
nicate with him, and this with the victory
won, the enemy in retreat and the cvacua-
tion OF Richmond and Petersburg made in
evttable. Conscious of his innocence and
knowing what he had accomplished Warren
went in person to Sheridan and asked him
to reconsider his action. "-!.' said Sheri-
dan; 81 don't reconsider my determine.
tions." Nor did he.
Warren at once sought an Investigation,
which was then refused him, and Is years OF
pass before it was secured; but at last the
long-looked-for investigation came. And
what was gained bv this sinvestigation? in This,
that but for the movement OF Crawford's
division under Warren's Immediate ORDERS
the enemy's lines would have been held,
and were held until the movement of Craw-
ford and that the results of Ayres' attack
We're rendered possible by that movement
What, then, could excuse the action OF Cen
eral Sheridan in view of the victory secured
to him? Nothing but that he was ignorant
of what was done, as he himself testifes,
and that he knew nothing of the Confederate
Mum :ord's engagement with Crawford's
division, nor Of the cavalry. He knew that
In relieving Warren he was pleasing Gen.
eral Grant, and he ignored then and subse-
Quently anything presented to him that
might in any way question his action. -
The record of Warren's court Of inquiry
will remain forever an enduring stain upon
an otherwise great reputation. Warren,
after long and patient waiting. at last began
60 despond and to doubt a. to the final re-
suit. His health was breaking. He lost the
fiery spirit that had animated him. Grant
and Sheridan were omnipotent, the heroes
of the hour and unassaiiable. And so the
eud came at last before the decision of his
court was known, and they buried him in
that sunny city by the sea, whore he was
known and loved and where he worked In
peace. His last request was that there
should be no military display, no emblems
Of his profession upon his comm, and no uni.
form upon his person.

military incompetents and maddered politi-

Clellan's lieutenants who had proved his
ability to exercise supreme command in
fighting great battles, and doubt whether
there was then in the entire Army of the

certainly no one was more patriotic in his
devotion to the cause of the Union.

A TRANSPARENT SCHEME.

Republicans Hope to Win Back Populists
in the Northwest by Impeaching the Sin
certify of Their Southern Brethren.
If there were any doubts existing as
to the policy to be pursued by the re-
publican party in the western and
northwestern states, all such Doubts
may now be laid aside. The policy of
the republican party, in pursuit of
which it seeks to stem the populist tide
in republican states, is to belittle, ridi-
Guile and minimize the peoples party
movement in the southern states and
make it appear that the southern ALI
ancemen are democrats first and then
alliancemen, and that they have not now
and never have had any intention of
following their principles out of the
democratic party. If they can succeed
in making populists in the western and
northwestern states believe this
wretched, abominable lie, they hope to
coax back into the G. 0. P. those popu-
lists who were formerly republicans.
To succeed in thus impeaching the
sincerity of southern alliancemen, the
republican managers will leave no stone
unturned, no plan untried No lie will
be too monstrous no action will be too

we expect to make a far better show

shals at the polls in November who will
protect the balloting."
A majority of the white voters in the
southern states are enrolled in peoples
party clubs, and the democratic party
is only kept in existence by the vote of
the negro, who, Esau like, now that he
has a chance to vote and have his vote
counted, seems to have sold his birth.

The masses of the white people O,
the south are populists from conviction
and for principles sake. As Campaign
Manager U. s. Bentley, when speaking
OF his 100000 populist votes in Texas,
says; "Speculations are being literally
INDUCED in by all of the opposition.
thatwe are not going to stand together.
The wish in this case, however, is father
to the thought Those who are in our
clubs or are lin the middle of the road, &"
though not in the clubs, are in no more
danger of getting back on the fence or
getting over on the other side of the

danger of going bodily over to the

tempt. They will stop short of nothing
to make northwestern populists believe
that the peoples party movement is
just democratic scheme to take north
western and western states out of the
Harrison column and give them to
Weaver, so as to insure the election of
Cleveland. They will strenuously as
sert and maintain that there is no peo-
pies party sentiment in the southern
states and that the south will
remain solidly democratic by in
creased majorities, and they
will endeavor to do their part to bring
about this much desired result. In
some states, as in Texas, they have
openly declared for the democratic state
ticket, while in other states, as in Ala
bama and Georgia, they have secretly
advised their negro voters to vote the
democratic ticket Republican news
papers will distort the truth, pervert
and suppress facts and doctor all news
items so as to throw discredit upon the
peoples party in the south. Populists
are asked to read and digest the edito-
rails in the Chicago Inter Ocean. the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Kan
sas City Journal, all of October s. for a
confirmation of the fact that there is
Just such a preconeerted scheme on
foot Already they are claiming that
the result in Georgia proves that the
populist strength was drawn from the
republican ranks, to hide the fact that
a majority of the white voters voted the
peoples ticket and that the democratic
ticket was saved by the vote of republi-
can negroes In inaugurating this pol
Icy and taking this step the republican
party is not free agent Behind it
and debating to it, stands the money
power, personi6ed by the Rothschilds
of England and Europe, who arrange
the programme for both old parties and
use them, either in pretended antago-
nism, fighting sham battles over foolish
issues; or, when and where it becomes
necessary, conformity to crush out indie
pendent movements.
Brethren, be not deceived bv the
vicious mendacity of these lying sooth-
sayers. Be not dismayed when you
read that the peoples party has col
lapsed in the southern states The
Bourbon democracy claimed Alabama

official count manipulated BY them
selves, showed only 5000 majority.

erty county it was shameful Out in
Rockdale county they offered $40 for
negro votes. That's the reason that we
got no help from the republicans, who
would naturally have voted against

The Peoples Party Fought For Principle
Their Opponents Used Money.
The campaign of the peoples party
has been made almost wholly without
means, and the greatest sacrifices have
been made by all interested for the
good of the cause. On the contrary the
democratic ring have had money to use
for every purpose, honest and dishonest,
and they have not failed to use it. In
addition they have had through the
county commissioners the appointing of
all t'rr election inspectors, and in prepa-
ration for fraud they refused to appoint
any but democrats of the true mossback
breed and those of the most unscrupu-
lous variety.
A glance at their candidates and con-
ventions the campaign over shows
everywhere the mailed hand of corpor-
alton influence. Their state conven-
ton packed with ring heelers; the dele
gates carried free in open defiance of
the law, and in special cars; the nomi-
nation of Mitchell as a reward for his
service to the railroads while on the
supreme bench in killing the railroad
commission law and who now openly
d--ns what little good there is in their
platform; Collins and Sheats paid for
their treacbery to the alliance by their
nominations; Blexham the pet and tool
