BIRDS CEASE SINGING.
With the Arrival of the Golden Rod,
 Birds Have Given Up Singing.

With the Arrival of the Golden Rod,
 Birds Have Given Up Singing.
 With the arrival of the golden rod the birds have given up singing. An occasional song sparrow or veree, or thrasher or pewee is heard to chant the old song. But lovemaking is pret- ty much over, the honeymoon is pass ed, the young have left the nest. Some second broods will be raised. But the real period of the birds Is past. The most conspicuous sound in the woods is the discorAant squawks of thefledg- ling crows, and always petulant and hungry. The insects are using their vocal organs. The August cricket is tuning up for it's all-night chirp, the locust is buZzing when the sun is hot, and all sorts of flies are making them selves heard as they hum with the bees. The bass drum frogs are cuddunking and all nature seems bent on making up for the growing silence of the birds.

AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS
General Harrison to Speak in New
 York on August 27.

York on August Zi.
 New York, Aug. 11.-It was very quiet at republican headquarters to-day by contrast with the democratic animation at the Bartholdi and Fifth Avenue.
 General Powell Clayton, in charge of the speakers bureau, received a letter to-day from ex-President Harrison, promising to deliver one speech in this city and the date has been fixed for August 27. The place has not yet been selected.
 Colonel Myron M. Parker, the mem- Der of the national committee from the District of Columbia was one of the callers to-day at headquarters. Colonel Parker has been spending the past fort night at his old home at Cambridge, Vermont He expresses great satlsfac- tion with the political conditions in the Green Mountain State. In response to a query as to the prevalence ot the silver craze in Vermont he said:
 s'The silver craze Is not growing in my state, for the good and sufficient reason that there is no silver craze there. The defection from the republi- can ranks will be trifling. Five gold democrats will support Mckinley where one republican will desert to the enemy. There is great enthusiasm among the republicans. Campaign clubs are being organized in every town and hamlet.
 .sIs the excitement greater this year than it was in the campaign four years ago?"
 ..More than I have ever seen before. I can give you one significant circum- stance. We never had before, so far as remember, republican campaign club in Cambridge. Recently one was organized with a membership of 300 This will give you some impression of the wide interest which our people feel in the pending struggle"
 "What is the situation in New Hampshire?"
 q cannot speak for New Hampshire hut I assume that the conditions there are practically the same as in Yer. mont
 .How soon shall you open the cam paign in Vermont?'
 .It will open either to-day or to- morrow; I am not certain as to tht exact date We purpose making it { great political event. The principa sneakers will be General Mccullough the receiver of the Erie Railway, anC ex-Governor Dillingham;. It will b. largely attended by enthusiastic repub licans from all over the state.
 Colonel Parker left for Washington at noon to-day, but will return to Yer mont after a brief stay at the nationa capital

Great numbers of them are now at work in an oak tree in Burnside where the owner has already taken up two carloads of twigs cut off by them. Some of these twigs are over five eights of an inch in diameter and they are as cleanly cut as if the work had been done with knife.
