is a myth, started for the purpose of frightening colored people and other superstitious ones. There are scores of people, however, who not only saw the bird, but plainly heard the tinkle of the bell about it's neck as it passed over here, although the creature flew too high to be in range of the dozen or more rifles aimed at it.
 The bell, which must be small and light one, or the bird could not fly with it, has a rich, silvery tone, and was evidently used on some Alabama lady's tea table originally. Whenever the bird makes it's appearance in the superstitious portions of the south the negroes run affrightedly into their cabins and remain hidden until it's de- parture is announced, as it is regarded by the more ignorant ones as verita- ble devil, which brings with it all sorts of evils.

HISTORIC GOLD CUP.
The British Museums Latest Acquisition
 James I.'s Gift to Spaniard.

James I.s Gift to a Spaniard.
 James I. was a monarch always hard up, but exceedingly lavish with other peoples ''bawbees." Although he has now happily been defunct for over two centuries, says the London Telegraph, his generosity with goods not his own has, according to the report of the trustees of the British museum, just cost the country and several patriotic Englishmen the sum of 9S,000. While he was king a Spanish ambassador came to England to conclude peace, and among the presents James award ed him was the royal gold cup, an ex- ceedingly valuable vessel, fashioned in France in 1891 by command of the due de Berry, as gift to his nephew, Charles VI.
 It is supposed to have come to Eng land in return for money lent to the French king to carry on his wars; at all events it is found in the inventory of the royal chattels of Henry VI., and remained in the possession of the English court until James generously gave it away. It is a covered cup or hanap of gold, with ten subjects from the life of St. Agnes wildly portrayed in translucent enamel round the out side of the bowl and cover; within are two medallions, also enameled, the one with another subject of St. Agnes, the other with half length of the Saviour. On the lower part of the foot are the four evangelistic symbols in enamel, and the base is formed of a cornet of leaves and pearls.
 The Spaniard gave up the cup to a

THE BILLED BUZZARD.
A Mysterious Bird Which Scares Super
 stitious People.

The famous belled buzzard recently made its appearance near Buffers Falls, Ind. The bird stopped for time upon the topmost branch of a tall tree on the Kentucky shore, and could plainly be seen from the Indiana side by the possessors of good glasses in the village. Several shots were fired at the bird during it's passage over the village, and MT. Robert McKs ne, freshman in Hanover college, and the crack shot of the institution, is the proud possessor of beautiful feather of raven-black color, dislodged from the wing of his buzzardship with re- beating rife, while the bird was majes- tically sailing over the college dormi tory.
 Several stories are in circulation regarding the origin of the belled buzzard, and there are many who as- sert that no such thing exists-that it

One Form of It, Called .'Blackbirding,"
 Carried on by Adventurers.
 It is high time that the attention of our naval officers in the Pacific was directed to the ''blackbirding" raids that have lately been made upon the Gilbert islands, says London Truth. Black birding" I should perhaps ex- plain, is the local euphemism for the form of slave trading that is carried on in the present day under the British and American flags. Some three or four raids of this kind appear to have been made upon the Gilbert islands within as many years by one American adventurer. The natives-men, women and children-are decoyed on board by spacious promises of the blessed pros pect open to them. They are landed on the hospitable coast of Guatemala, and there, after a few months of virtual slavery, the bulk of them speed fly die-from climatic or other causes. A Vancouver newspaper states that out of the last shipload thus trans ported, not more than thirty per cent. were alive at the end of the year. The enterprising mariner who has carried out the previous raids was reported few weeks ago to be fitting out a fresh expedition at San Francisco. The Gil bert islanders now enjoy the proud privilege of being British subjects, and we ought to protect them against this form of buccaneering. !

lighted the Late Henry Bergh.
 It would have done the heart of the late Henry Bergh good if he had wit messed a scene at Thirty fourth street and Third avenue the other day, says the New York Herald.
 Lying in the dirty black mud in the middle of the street was dignifed dog of the Newfoundland species.
 Standing over him in sorrow was an elegantly dressed young man..
 Come on, old man, get up. Get up, that's a good fellow" pleaded the young man, while the dog feebly moved his tail and rolled his eyes to- ward his master, but did not move.
 Then the youth acted.
 Dropping a book, which he carried, into the mud he stopped and lifted the undiscovered dog in his arms and carried it to the sidewalk, depositing it by the side of a building.
 His clothes were besmirched, the bosom of his shirt and his cuffs were soiled, but he paid no attention to his appearance. He thanked an urchin who handed him the soiled book and then hailed cab.
 "You see, he's an old dog," he said to me apologetically, noting my inter- est in the episode.
 He's one of the family, you know, I just brought him in from the coun- try, and the rattling and jo1ting of the cars must have acted unfavorably upon his heart, because he gave out and fell right where you saw him. Poor old fellow!"
 "Well, good day, sir,'' and he again raised the animal carefully and de- posted it in the cab which drew up.
 "Say, some of dem dudes would've given de dog de cold shake," com mented gamin as the cab rolled off.
