founding manner. Ms, l admit that. And think quite DO sibly q partridge with fend of some sort at his tail would hurry up also. But the driven partridge, put up in one field. is simply flying over to another. although. no doubt, especially with the wind behind him, he goes along at a good round pace; and no one, probably. could have performed the feat of killing com plete covey of five birds out of hand except the man who did it-Lord de Grey
 Now, it is obviously difficult to esti- mate accurately the speed of any bird, and those who talk glibly about 'sone hundred and fifty miles an hour, and so on, are only making shots. We have q pretty good idea of the speed of car rier pigeon, because we have the two fixed points of departure and arrival from which to reckon. But in the case of other birds there would seem to be but two ways in which to get at it. We could, in the first place, no doubt, after much time and pa tience, arrive at the absolute speed of many birds by means of a stop watch In this way it would be possible to time a bird from point to point in an open coun- try, or, in an inclosed district. from hedge to hedge. I do not know that it has ever been tried, but it opens up very pretty line of experiment, and l think shall attempt it myself some day. Now for q test of relative speed.
 It is my good fortune to shoot every season in rough, open country, half moor, half grass and crops Grouse, blackgame and partridges frequent in common those bits of heather. which border on the cultivated land. Time after time, as the grouse go slSimning low down over the moor, they give a warning to these other neighbors, who rise and join them. Time after time. when the men are driving toward the butts, they put up grouse and black game, grouse and partridqes, or not seldom, all the three together Here. then, is a criterion. What does it tell? This-that cartridges starting to fly with grouse are very soon left behind; that blackgame can fly right away from grouse, and almost leave the cartridges standing still"
 A partridge gives the greater impress sion of speed because it is the smaller bird and moves it's wings more quick ly Whereas blackcoclt, a large and heavy bird, does not go away in whirr or "burst," so to say. but climbs away through the air with the most decep- tive ease of motion So it comes about that young hand, who can very likely shoot partridges we'll will miss black cock after blackcock, because he shoots behind them. It is so very difficult to believe that this great bird, which never seems to be in hurry, is really travelling at an enormous speed. Yet so it is. And if any man will take the trouble to go out for few consecutive days simply to observe grouse and blacl1game-talSing note of the marvel ous manner in which in few seconds an old blaelzcock will span the wide moor and be out of sight-he will then. l venture 10 believe, have no longer any hesitation in pronouncing the grouse faster than the partridge and the blackcock probably the fastest game bird that Westminster Ga zette.

Wedding Rings Without Inaividuallt,

Wedding Rings Without IndividualIty
 At present every woman's wedding ring resembles that worn by her neigh Dor; if they were all thrown together into tub hardly one woman would be able to know the ring she may have worn day and night for years. Indi- viduality and poetry are banished from modern wedding.rin it is too late to plead that they may be restored to the symbol which, to loving wife. is her most precious possession, and to which the knowledge that her husband had designed it for her-or, at least, given it some more especial thought than buying it out of a gross at a jewellers. could not but add still greater value2 The most personal bit of property of a woman, the last one she will part with should certainly be personal to her; at present it is less so than any other of her ornaments Pail Mall Budget.

Death of An Old Soldier.

William J. Barr died at his home
in Florida on Wednesday of last
week, at the age Of 81 years, Gmonths
and 80 days. VIM. Barr was an old
soldier, crippled up from the effects
of service in the rebellion, so much
that he had entirely lost the use of
his lower limbs. He was a man of
much intelligence and had many ex-
cellent traits of character, and being
an uncompromising Republican he
stood quite prominent in the circles
of his party. The funeral took place
from the M. E. Church in Florida,
Friday afternoon, Oct 26th, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. L. E.
Wilson, and under the auspices of
the Grand Army, of which associa-
ton he was an honored member.

For Inside Painting.

Saur & Balsley have an extra nice
paint for inside painting, such as the
wood work of your rooms or your
household furniture, which is very
nice and durable and can be had in
any shade or color you may wish.
This paint is already mixed with
dryers, varnish and OIL ready for use,
so that any one old enough to handle
a brush can apply it and make every
thing look nice and fresh as il it were
new. This paint is also very cheap,
much cheaper than ever before, and
when once used, you will always buy
it for the reason that it is SO easily
applied. This house carries a large
stock of paints for outside use, which
they guarantee to be good and relia-
BILE in every particular, and the prices
extremely low, for the reason that
they do not want to carry so much
over the winter season.

Forfeited All Claim.

1t George Russell ever had any
claim upon the postoffice since a
Democratic administration came into
power, he has more then forfeited it
by the low and damnable politics he
has assumed in the present campaign.
His onslaught upon honest and capa-
BILE Democratic officials is mean and
low, and does great injury to Henry
county in a general way. His tactics
are disgrace to an enlightened
community, and they stamp him as a
hypocrite and demagogue of the
lowest type. The good people of Ma
poleon, or those who receive mail
through this Office, with but few ex-
ceptions, are outspoken in their
denunciation and call upon the au-
thorities at Washington to GUST him
from his position, a position which,
by all the laws of decency, right
and party honor, belongs to a Demo
crat!
If Grover Cleveland or Postmaster
General Bissell wish to do the people
of Napoleon a favor, and especially
do an act of justice for the Demo
cratic party, let them remove Geo.
Russell as Postmaster of this beautiful
little city. Let them do this, and the
sons and daughters of Democratic
sires and patriots will rise up and call
them blessed!

Eightieth Birthday.

The friends of Uncle John Zoilars
fiocked to his home in Harrison town
ship on Sabbath last in such numbers
as toeastonish the natives, and they
completely surprised Uncle John,
taking him wholly unawares. But
when he was reminded that it was
his S0th birthday he understood the
intent of the raid and none enjoyed
the clandestine visit more than he did,
in which he was joined by his good
companion. The kind friends each
brought well filled basket, and af-
ter the contents were heaped upon
tables, a feast was enjoyed that would
have satisfied the gods. The day was
pleasantly spent and the occasion was
one that will always be a happy re-
membrance of Uncle John and those
who took part in it.

experiences. She desired to wash her
feet one night before retiring, and
asked the lady of the house for a yes

hunted everywhere for tub or pail,
but in vain. Finally she said, "0h,
well, here's the dish pan; wash them
in that" 1t is needless to add that
the blushing school-ma'a did not
wash her feet that night. And she
