Fine OF e5 for lkilling the Bird.
Most interesting Of the birds that We
saw on our daily way to the pasture,
says writer to the Atlantic, were the
gulls, great, beautiful, snowy creatures
who looked strangely out Of place 50
far away from the seashorc. Stranger,
too, than their change Of residence was
their change Of manners, from the wild
',napproaclable sea birds, soaring and
diving and apparently spending their
lives on wings. From this high place
in our thoughts, from this realm of
poetry and my story, to come down
almost to the tameness of the barnyard
fowl is a marvellous transformation aud
one is tempted to believe the solemn
announcement Of the Salt Lake prophet
that the Lord sent them to his chosen
people. The occasion Of this alleged
special favor to the Latter Day Saints
was the advent about twenty years
ago OF grasshOppers, before which the
crops of the western states and terri
tories were destroyed as by fire. 1t
was then, In their hour of grcatest need
when the food upon which depended u
whole people was threatened that these
beautiful winged messengers appeared.
In large flocks they came, from no one
knows where, and settled like SO many
sparrows all over the land. devouring
almost without ceasing the hosts of the
foe. The crops were saved, and all
Dcscret ret0iced. Was 1t any wonder
that u people trained to regard the head
OF their church rs the direct representa-
tive OF the highest should believe these
to be really birds Of God. and should
accordingly cherish them? Well would
1t be for themselves II other Christian
people were equally believing. and pro-
tected and cherished other winged mes
sersers sent just Us truly to protect
their crops. The shrewd. man who
welded the dcstinies of his people he
side the Salt Lake secured the future
usefulness Of what they considered the
miraculous visitation by fixing pen
atty IT 8 upon the head Of every gull
in the territory. And now, the birds
llvicg found cOngenial nesting-placcs
Ol solitary islands in the lake, their
descendants are SO fearless and 90
tame that they habitunlly follow the
plow like a flock of chickens, rising
from almost under the feet Of the indif-
ferent horses and settling down at once
In the furr0w behind, seeking ont gr,lbs
and larvae and mice and mOles that the
pl0w has disturbed in its passage. The
Mormon cultivator has sense enough
to appreciate such service and no man
or boy dreams Of lifting q finger
against his best friend. Extraordinary
indeed was this sight to eyes accus-
toned to seeing every bird that Mt
tempts to render such service shot and
shared and swept from the face Of the
earth. Our hearts warmed toward the
"Sons of Zion," and our respect for
their intelligence increased as we hur-
ried down to the field to see this lat
ter-day wonder.

SILVER MINE IN VERMONT.

Tradition says There is q Rich store
Of White Metal In the State.
The western Aope Of the Green
mountains IL prolific of legendary lore,
says the Rutland Herald. Especially
is this true Of radius Ct ten niles
from Lake Dunmore. From the time
Of the earliest settlements in town
vague traditions have aoated in the
air that at some earlier period q fabu-
lcus amount Of silver had been mined,
hidden and abandoned somewhere
near the foothills that skirt the eastern
border Of Brandon. When, where and
by whom was the insolvable enigma.
These traditional myths began to as
sumo O concrete form about the year
1870, from the advent Of q stranger
Of some three score years, who had
been wandering for q long time over
the hills In Chittenden and Brandon.
BY Typographical memory be was con-
WINGED that he had approximately To-
Gated the object Of his search near the
cabin OF q man named Rogers, about
three and one-half miles east from the
village Of Brandon.
The stranger engaged board with Rog-
ers and disclosed to him his personal
history, that Of the mining company
and the purpose Of his visit. He rep
resented himself as the youngest Of a
party Of fourteen, all Spaniards, one
OF whom was 2 woman and his mother.
He said that he was born In camp and
remained with them until their re-
moval, when he was about fifteen years
OF age; that they mined about two apd
a-half tons Of silver, which was depos-
tied IN subterranean cavern Of great
depth, and that the approaches to 1t
were carefully filled and concealed, and,
80 tar rs possible, all trace Of their
work effaced; that they were driven
away by the hostility Of the Indians
and intended to return at some time
and reclaim their property, and that
for the purpose Of Identification they
buried three Iron wedges marked with
certain symbols that would indicate
the opening Of the avenue to their hid
den wealth. He invited Rogers to
JOIN MIN In the search and offered him
one-haif OF the spoils. The Invitation
was declined through distrust of the
man. He then secured the cooperation
OF one Field, and they searched one or
two more seasons in vain for the hid
den wedges. During temporary alb
sence OF the stranger Field found the
wedges, but concealed the fact from
his partner on his return. At length

Sir Walter Ralsigh WAS an unprlncl.
pied advsntursr, and failed % an ID.
mlnistrator and colonissr. but be had .
most commendable taste for planting
and gardenins. and in thess branches
Of efforts his inauencs renainss potsnt.
Three hundred years have passed since
he lived In ireland, In the County Of
Cork, On The vast estate which had been
bestowed upon him; but the yellow
wallnowers which he brought to Ires
land from the Asores stun 0ourish and
bloom In the very spot whers hs plant
cd them.
Near By, at Youshal. near Cork, on
tho shores Of the Blackwater estuary,
stands the A6anc cherry which he
planted. Some cedars which he brought
to Cork are still growing at q place
called TvOlf. -Four yew tfeca, whose
branches have grown and inter1accd In
to sort of summer house, are pointed
out as having sheltered Raleigh when
he first smoked tobacco I'm his Garden
ut Youyhal.
Raleigh tried to make tobacco grow
In Great Britain, but the climate was
not found suitable to 1t. He succeeded,
however, by Introducing the habit Of
smoking 1t, In making 1t grow in plenty
Of other places. :.
More important to the world than the
spot where Raleigh sat and smoked his
Indian weed IL another spot in his gar.
den at Myrtle Grove, in this same
YOugllal. This spot 10 still bounded by
the town wall Of the thirteenth century,
1t was here that Raleigh first planted
curious tuber brought from America
which thrOve vastly better than his to-
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common report for q
long time pronounced 1t poisonous.
Some roots from his vines he gave to
other land-gr0wers in Munster. They
cultivated them and spread them
abroad from year to year.
This was the plain Irish potato. Be
fore many generations 1t became the
staple food Of the Irish people-almost
the only food Of great many Of them.
1t was the Irish potato which came
back to America and became the
groundwork, 80 to speak, of the
American farmers and workman's
daily breakfast and dinner. Sir Wal
ter's curious experiment in accllma-
tizati0n became an economic step Of the
very first consequence; and the spot at
Youghal. which was its scene, deserves
marking with q monument much more
than do the places where the blood of
men has been shed in battle.

the instant he appeared in the door
