Pigeons for Naval Use.

The United States practice ship Con.
stellatiop. when she sailed on the cadets
summer voyage, had aboard a number
of homing pigeons, to be used as means
of communication between the ship and
points ashore. The birds will be liberia
ted at intervals and are expected to
bring official messages from the practice
vessel to the Naval Academy, where a
loft or cote has recently been established,
says the Baltimore Sun.
If the experiment should prove sue
c~essful, the Government would proba-
bly, find it profitable to the navy to
encourage the homing pigeon services
with the small appropriation needed to
carry out the plans of the projectors OF
the enterprise. At present the facilities
for training binds at the Naval Academy
are limited, no Government eppropria,
ton being available.
At Fortress Monroe, the first stopping
place of the ship, it is possible several
trained birds from Baltimore, Philadel.
phia and New York will also be taken
aboard and dispatched with information
from the cruising grounds. The head
quarters at Washington will also be
posted of the whereabouts Of the vesse,
through winged messengers from that
city.
A lot OF birds to accompany the ship
will no doubt be sufficiently trained to-
ward the close of the voyage to be useful
in conveying messages ashore.
The practicab,lity of the homing pig
con has been satisfactorily tested by
communication with the ships Of war an.
chored off Annapolis and from vessels
plying between Baltimore. Annapolis
and other points. If these experiments
should be successful they will demon.
strate the possibility of a vessel cruising
along the coast at a distance of over one
hundred miles, where no other means Of
communication would be possible, to be
kept in constant intercourse with the
shore.
This prompt service, it is claimed,
would be a great advantage to the Gov
eminent. The experiments will be con-
tihued during the entire cruise of the
ship and will be watched with unusual
interest,

Freaks OF Human Vision.

81 do not suppose this world looks
alike to any two persons" said Thomas
McHenry at the Southern. IA dozen of
US were looking at the moon the other
night. To one it appeared the size of a
five cent piece, to another much larger
than a cart wheel. To n it appeared
a weil-rounded globe, and to another a
fat circular piece OF brass. noticed
this diversity Of human vision once la
Galveston, Texas. l saw a man named
O'Dell shoot a fellow gambler named
QuinIan to death. He fired four shots
from a large revolver. At the trial one
man testified that Quinlan had a knife IN
his hand at the time of the shooting.
Another thought it was a cans, while a
third expressed the opinion that it was
a billiard cue. l was standing facing
him when he was shot, and would make
oath that his hands were open and con-
aimed nothing. Those who testified
we're disinterested spectators, and told
n the stand what they honestly though
hey saw. The shooting began In a So
Jon. Quinlan ran out, followed by
oDell, who kept shooting. Some
thought one shot was fired in the saloon.
others thought three, yet all we're look
ing right at the two men. You often
hear people say that what they see they
know; but they don't. They have no
assurance that they saw right. A man

The Last Gun of the War.

Some interesting stories have been
published lately about the firing oil the
last gun OF the war. D. E. King, of
Atlanta, asserts that the last shot was
fred in the vicinity of Macon, and he
makes the following statement:
ssI was in the Federal army, and be-
longed to the First Ohio Cavalry, which
was in General Wilson's command. We
reached Columbus, Ca, on April 18th,
1865, and stayed there three days, after
which we marched t. Macon While On
the march we were fired at frequently BY
scouts or bushwhackers, and the advance
guard, after some little reconnoltrlng,
would return the shots aud advance. l
was an orderly under General Alexander,
who had charge of the advance forces,
and when we were within seven or eight
miles of Macon we were met by a party
of gentlemen, citizens from Macon, who
asked us not to enter the city as an
armistice had been declared.
81 went myself to General Wilson and
notified him of what the delegation of
citizens said. He went forward and had
a talk with them. l overheard every.
thing that was said. General Wilson said
that he had not been officially notified OF
the armistice, and that he intended to
establish his headquarters in Macon that
night. He told the citizens that he
would not allow his soldiers to disturb
anything or anybody. but that his en-
trance to thy city would be peaceable.
He was informed that the C~onfedetates
had forces stationed across the river from
Macon and beyond the railroad where h
would enter.
"We proceeded to the city, anu after
entering it we could see the Confe ierate
camp to our right. While marching
through the streets, three shots directed
at our column came from the Confedcr-
ates without effect and We proceeded on
the march. | do not remember the date
we entered Macon, but it was Der .veeu
the Goth aud Both of April. 1865. rlese

Drawn by the Webfooted COWS.

The webfooted cows who inb bit the
marshes along the st. John'f River id
Florida-Iknow that they are , Iebfooted,
for Captain Lund says so, aid Captain
Lund never lies-are of some use after
all, it seems, and this is the how and the
wherefore of it.
In the merry month Of April the water
in the st. Johns gets very low, and the
two big steamboats,, Frederick De Barry
and City of Jacksonville, which 60 up
and down it during the winter season,
are sometimes hard put to it to get over
the numerous bars. If it were not for
the w~ebfooters, Captain Lund says-and
Captain Lund never lies-they would
never get up to Sanford and Comfort
Cottage, and would have to come North
a month or more before they could be OF
service.
The worst bar of all is Volusia Bar,
and here four times a day, at the hours
when the steamboats, are due, d number
of Floridians put in an appearance With
from four to eight yoke of the gay and
festive kind, almost too thin to cast q
shadow, hitched up for business.
Then follows a scene such as few steam
boat men have ever witnessed. The COWS
are hitched to the boat by three stout
chains, the drivers raise a shout, and
with all steam on and d mighty tug-of'
war, the stout iron steamboat is dragged
through the mud and sand and landed in
deep water again.
Captain Lund says he has a set OF iron
tires which he puts on the paddle wheels
the first of May, which enable him to
take short cuts across the country, thus
shortening the distance by about one-
half, and as Captain Lund was never
no, never-known to draw the long
bow or to tell a story which WAS not
strictly according to Hoyle, down 60 the
tires across country and all.
And yet there are people who persist
in going to Europe strange sights for to
see. It is one of the wonders winch no
man, aud not very many hundreds of
women, can fathom.-New York Herald.

Where There's. No VIII There's a Way.

A prominent business man, of northern
Ohio recently expressed to one Of the
cashiers of a city bank q novel idea Of
leaving his money so that there might be
no contest after his death. He has a
wife, three sons and a hayward daughter
and purposes keeping his property in
municipal bends. His plan is this:
He has divided his bonds into three
parts, after providing for his wife, and
put them into three separate boxes at
the safe deposit vaults; the keys he has
put into envelopes marked for each one
of his sons, to be delivered to them after
his death. For his daughter he has de-
posted with a trust compony certain &C.
curities which will yield her 800 per
month as long as she lives, the principal
to revert to the sons equally, share and
share alike, at her death. On his mer-
camille and manufacturing interests he
has likewise arranged a very clever
scheme. He ha3 ,isel outright to his
three sons all the mercantile and manu-.
featuring property, share and share alike.
but they have in turn executed to him
a lease of the sams during his life for a
nominal consideration, 50 that he has the

TIE SONG or A

A song is astir in the air,
And | would drink it in
With the scent of the roses rich and rare,
But still the battles din
Rings in my ears and deafens me;
cannot hear the strain.
The noise of the world, its misery,
Throbs like a bitter pain.
But now and then, as in despair
seek to rend the bonds,
Comes a burst Of harmony on the air
To which my heart responds,
And then the echo of the fray
Amoment seemsto cease,
Though the wondrous harmony dies away.
That moment brings me peace.
And then 1 pray | may retain
A peacefu!ness of heart,
Though the warriors laurels fail to gain,
Or riches Of the mart.
For that sweet song will give merest,
And Danish all distress.
The flowers of God and the gold of the Yves,
Will be my happiness.
