A Naturalist PrOtests Against the Ex-
termination of Rare Birds.
New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post.
Mr.. w. H; Hudson. the well-kno yn En-.
glsh naturalist, again publishes a vehement
protest against the barbarouS fashion which
encourages the slaughter of singing and
other birds for the decoration of the femi-
nine head. Last autumn, he says, there
were grounds for hope that the habit OF
bird wearing would soon cease, but now
feathers are once more displayed in all the
milliners' windows, and every second wom-
has aigrette of heron'S plumeS in
her bonnet. "Of these aigrettes," he writes,
formed of 'ospreys,' ii may be mentioned
that they consist of the slender cecom-
posed dorsal feathers Of the white herons
or egrets; that they are the sbirds nuptial
ornaments, consequently are only TO be OBJ
tanned during the breeding season. when
the death of the parent bird involves the
death by starvation of the young in the
nest For the sake of the few ornamental
feathers yielded by each bird killed, the
white herons have been entirely eXtermi-
mated in Florida. their great breeding dis
trict in North America. and the 'nassacre
has since gone on in South America, AZ
RIGA, India and Australia-the birds being

ands' the thoughtless fashion for these
termination of more than one species.
About the cruelty of killing these birds
when they are engaged in incubation and
rearing their young nothing need be said
here. Doubtless it is very great, that
men who live, so to speak, in rougher
world, and are harder than women, are
sickened atfthe thought of il; but il is real
ly a very small matter, scarcely worthy OF
mention, compared with the crime and mon
strous outrage of deliberately eXterminating
species such as the snowy egrets, birds OF
paradise, and numberleSS others that are
being done TO death. For these are not OF
the commoner types, universally distrib-
uted, and mostly OF modest coloring, which
would not be greatly missed after their
places, left vacant, had been occupied by
others; the kinds now being destroyed can
not be replaced, not in 900 years. nor ever:
they are Natures most brilliant living
gems and give her greatest lustre." The
only answer thus far made to Mr.. Hudson
is an assertion by milliner that much OF
the plumage is not what IL pretends TO be,
but is manufactured out of cocks feathers.

cocks feathers or not

VICTORIA AT HOME.
COntented with Her Humdrum Life
True to John Browns Memory.

Boston Transcript.
Once week the chair is drawn down to
the churchyard, and the Queen inspects the
grave of the faithful and departed John
Brown. The village, too is often visited,
and her Majesty thinks no shame of her
self purchasing serges and flannels to dis
tribute among the poor at the one little
shop kept by Mrs. Symons. AT 1890 she re-
turns to the castle refreshes herself with
an egg beaten in milk, and then is ready
to see Sir Henry Ponsonby, her private Sec
rotary, and the minister in attendance.
Luncheon is the Queens favorite meal,
and she is then pleased to converse in a
lively fashion, discussing the news of the
day, and often showing a fund of amusing
anecdote. In the afternoon she again drives
tage on the estate, where a room is special
ly. reserved for such emergencies. Humble
friends of the Queen are visited. and
sketching materials. After her return.
an hour is devoted to the little
grandchildren. and there is an interval
which her Majesty, though she is such an
early riser, usually spends two hours or
more with her private secretary. Francis
Clark, by the way, is of the same type as
his cousin, John Brown, but, although he is
deservedly loved by his mistress. he would
not venture upon the liberties his prede-
cessor was privileged to take. Some funny
and authentic anecdotes were told me by
my friend of the faithful Brown. One day
sketch near Glassault Shiel. where she had
spent the previous night. Even the Queen
sometimes gets out of bed on the wrong
SIDE and this happened to be such a morn
ing. One table after another was brought
from the Shiel, until the supply was ex-
hausted and the servants plunged in
despair, but yet none of them suited her
fretful Majesty. At last John Brown took
one of the rejected articles and set IL down
rather hard and with much decision be-
fore his mistress. "They Gamma max one
for ye." said he. The Queen could but
laugh; the table was accepted and
amiability restored. Sometimes her Majes-
ty would appear ready for her drive IN
some comfortable old cloak of far from
prepossessing appearance, but of this de-
scent from royal dignity the servitor
stronly disapproved. "And what kind Of a
thing is that we've got on the day." he
would grimly say. and the good natured
sovereign would usually dress to please her
attendant on the next occasion of the kind.
The Indian empire is represented in the
royal household by her Majesty's Indian
secretary and her personal attendant,
very handsome Asiatic, who is always
gorgeously appareled in scarlet, white and
gold. And these men have their servants
and their own suite of apartments in the
castle, where the fragrance OF curry is
said never TO be absent. The Queen is very
good to her servants and takes great inter-
est in their personal welfare And, of
course the happiness of her humble SUBJ
jects helps to make her happiness. But L
wonder how many women would be con-
tented with the dull and humdrum life led
during the larger portion of the year by
England'S Queen.

Office Seekers Must Halt.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The follow
ing has been issued by the President
for publication:
Executive Mansion, May 6, 1893
1t has become apparent after two
months experience that the rules
heretofore promulgated regulating
interviews with the President have
wholly failed in their operation. The
time which under these was set apart
for the reception of Senators and
Representative has been almost en-
tirely spent in listening to applica-
tions for Office, which have been be-
wildering in volume, perpleXing and
exhausting in their iteration and I'M
possible of remembrance.
"A due regard for public duty,
which must be neglected if present
conditions continue and an obser-
vance of the limitations placed upon
human endurance, oblige me to de-
cline from and after this date all
personal interviews with those seek
ing appointments to office, except as
I. on my own motion, may especially
invite them. The same considera-
tions make it impossible for me to
receive those who merely desire to
pay their respects except on the days
and during the hours especially des
ignated for that purpose.
II earnestly request Senators and
Representatives to aid Inc in secur

Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to be
entirely oblivious OF the fact, that
the State of Virginia still exists and
that the mother of States and
statesmen" is entitled to some con-
sideration at his hands. The plums
which have been given to her citi-
zens 30 far have not been the big
ones, but accepted as an indication
of the intention OF the President, &C
cording to declarations imputed to
him few days ago, to 80 level up

share in the end, office seekers in
Virginia ought not to be perhaps
entirely unhappy. The Virginians
who have been favored OF late with
his recognition are General Fitzhugh

Senator Vest, of Missouri, believes
that ITO the victors belongs the
spoils" and that those who whooped
up the boys" and carried the torches
should have share in them as much
so as those who secured the higher
places in the Government-as indi-
Gated by the following interview,
from the New York Herald, between
the Missouri Senator and Postmaster
Bissell:
Senator Vest is credited with hav-
ing been party to spicy interview
with Mr.. Bissell yesterday. The
Missouri Senator wanted a man re-
moved from office in that State, and
urged the Postmaster General to take
immediate action in the case.
Are there any charges filed against
this man?' asked Mr.. Bissell.
None that know of, )" saiu Senator
Vest impatiently.

then? If he is a competent man he
ought to be retained"
'Well, how did you get your job?"
asked Senator Vest with considerable
warmth Were there any charges
filed again inst st ifr. Wanamaker? Didn't
he give good administration of the
Postoffice Department? If so why Was
he removed"
This seemed to alnuse the Post
master General and he laughed mer-
rily. But Senator Vest did not laugh.
After saying something about civil
service nonsense" he left the room.

Southern Baptist Contention.

Beginning yesterday the Southern
Baptist Convention will hold it's
thirty eighth annual session in the
Sam Jones Tabernacle, Nashville,
Tenn. The territory embraced in
this large organization includes the
fourteen States of Alabama. Arkan
sas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, MARYLAND, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee. Texas. Virginia, and
the District Of Columbia and Indian
Territory. 1trepresentsa population
of q, 472, 072 and an aggregate men,
bership of 2,462,902, nearly half Of
whom are colored people. distributed
among 1864 churches. These
churches hold property valued ut
S14, 7O3, 3O8 and educational property
worth, half as much. Last year they
raised for Home Missions $4S, 9T.19,
and for Foreign Missions S1l3,32j.90.
The work is performed through the
medium of three boards-the Foreign
Mission Board. located at Richmond.
Va. the Home Mission Board, at
Atlanta, and the Sunday School
Board, now in it's second year, whose
he lido quarters are in Nashville. The
Woman's Missionary Union also
operates in correction with the
convention, and its leading educu-
tional institution is the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. at
Louisville.
This session will be notable by
reason of the report of the committee
appointed at the lust convention to
raise o permanent centennial fund
of $3.50, 900 in celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the estab
lishment OF Foreign Missions by
William Carey.

The location of Margaret Academy

The location of Margaret Academy
was not decided upon at the meeting

be held for that purpose on the Goth
inst, in accordance with an an
nouncement which appears in this

clusion in the matter in Difference to
wishes of citizens of Northampton

county or to postpone the matter in
definitely. 1t is not likely. however.
that a vote on the question will be
postponed further at the next meet
ing and the action Of the Board will
doubtless have the approval of the
people generally of the Eastern
Shore, whether acceptable to or &C.
quiesced in by citizens of any one
locality or not. They will make up
their decision, we take it for granted,
with the view of carrying out the
intentions of those who raised the
fund for purposes of education, and
doing that. no one surely will have
cause to complain of them. In the
exercise of the prerogative which has
been bestowed upon them, we do not
believe they can lose sight OF the
fact, that the fund was intended to
be used by our forefathers SO as to be
of the greatest good to the greatest
number of children on the Eastern
Shore--and accepting that as their
guide, which we believe they are
compelled to do, the trustees cannot
err as to their duty.
