About Ostriches.

Those who asse that the ostrich
lives on broken glass and iron nails
are not quite right; but that it swal-
lows pebbles to assist its digestion,
as do many other birds on a lesser
scale, when in state of nature, and
pieces OF wood, metal, or what not,
when in state of captivity, for the
same purpose, is most undoubted.
The strength of the ostrich is quite
equal to carrying a man on its back at
rapid rate of progression. The
negroes often use II for riding pur-
poses, DIR. Livingstone tells us that
the legs OF an ostrich cunning at full
speed can no more be seen than the
spokes in wheel of a vehicle drawn
at fast gallop.
Tho ostrich can run thirty miles an
hour, and the Arabs would never be
able ia Overtake them but for the
strategems employed. They first fol-
low them for a day or two without
pressing too closely but sufficiently to
prevent them from taking food. When
they have tired out the hungry bird.
they pursue it all at full speed. and,
taking advantage of fact well known
to them--that the ostrich always de-
scribes curve in its course-tbem-
selves make direct straight short
cut" and SO gradually get within
reach.
Each adult bird produces about hall
a pound of white and three pounds OF
black feathers. Those from the male
bird are most highly esteemed, and all
are in best condition when plucked
from the living bird. -Ex.

tha We mad absconded for parts un-
known, we thought it pru dent to say,
the Lord being willing, some Of us
would be home about the last OF this
week, providing we don't have the
misfortune to land in Jail like some
we might mention. g
There is but one Aberdeen. For
genuine hospitality and respect shown
to stranger, she stands the peer OF any
| place it has been our good fortune to
visit, and that means from southern
Texas to California, and from the east
to the west
| Our verdict is unanimous. Every
day we are visited by men coming
from every quarter of the Union. peo-
pie OF all occupations. seeking homes
in our sunny South. Many are so we'll
pleased that they have brought their
families, others are coming, and the
tide is surely moving southwark.
Wake up, young men OF Mississippi.
only few years more and your old
homesteads with all its hallowed as.
sociations OF childhood will have passed
into the hands OF others. We must
move forward or be crowded out-nc
time to stop and think-the wheel is
revolving and II we cannot assist lei
us drop out and let others take oui
places. This portion of Mississippi
in our opinion, is the most favored
spot in the South. Water that would
make "a skeleton fat. That makes
Aberdeens beautiful girls cheeks like
peach blossoms, and retain youth uI
to old age.
The prett,est sight we ever witness
ed, some 400 little ones at play d
noon in front OF Aberdeen's fine pub
lie school building-a magniticent
structure. A prettier sight could not
be seen this side of Paradise. Can we
wonder that our northern friends fall
in line with such county? But with
soil equal to any in the Union; a
climate far superior in many respects
to the Pacific slope; congenial warm
hearted people, welcoming new set
tiers from the frozen lands Of the
north, and Offering opportunities for
| investment in all branches OF industry.
Northern Mississippi may we'll be
proud of her noble wholesouled Judge
lies, a man who would scorn to do
injustice to even the worst OF criminals,
but one who is fully determined to
carry out justice to all alike. Mr..
Fox. the attorney, is another of Mis-
sissippi's men OF prominence, and the
law!ess are quite apt to get their just
deserts at his hands. Success to old

leaving there has cost him nearly
everything he ever made.

Regulated by a Hair.

One solitary human hair seems very
small thing, but it is the most important
part of an important machine in the
capitol at Washington. This machine
warns and ventilates the house. the
senate and the various committee rooms
and runs several electric dynamos. Its
most curious feature is the appliance for
telling the proper temperature of the air
in the building. A dial arranged like a
clock marks different degrees from 0 to
100. Zero means perfectly dry air. 100
saturated air. e., air carrying all the
moisture it will hold.
