SAGACIOUS BLACKBIRDS.
Wonderful Sagacity and Memory
the Birds,

General Lew Wallace yesterday re-
lated an incident which shows to a re-
markable extent the wonderful sagacity
and memory of blackbirds.
'At my home over in Charlottesville, -
said the General, 1--WE have a large
number of tall trees on the lawn, and
in the course of time these trees became
the roosting place at certain times of
the year for hundreds of thousands of
blackbirds. They came in great black
clouds, and in spite of all / could do,
they refused to leave. OF course they
were great nuisance, and / was in de-
spair as to some means Of getting clear
of them. stood for days with my gun
firing into them, of an evening, and
killing hundreds of them, but the rest
did not seem to be sufficiently Strue1x by
fear or grief to want to part idOmpany
with me and my hospitality. I then de-
vised new scheme.
Procuring a number of Roman can
dies one evening, / lighted them one by
one after dark when the bows of the
trees were bent low with the weight of
the croaking birds, and I poured the
balls into the tops of the trees alta great
rate. The sudden innovation startled
the birds as nothing had ever done be-
| fore, and they became panic stricken.
That night was free of them.
| THE habit Of returning there to roost
was stronger than fear, and they began
coming in by thousands as the next
evening approached After dark I be-
gan with another volley of candles, and
the birds began to realize that there
11<1 T. t..
progress. They fed precipitately, and
the third evening only few returned.
A few last shots put them to flight, and
was troubled no more.
But what do you think those birds
did? My dividing-fence runs between
the trees on my property and the trees
on the property of my neighbor, which
are equally high and equally suitable
| for home of the blackbirds. When the
| birds were driven from my lot they
| flew over across the dividing fence to
| the trees Of my neighbor and settled.
There was no bombardment over there,
and they have stayed there ever since.
This was long time ago, but never
since the last Roman candle was fired
| into them has one Of these birds settled
on one Of my trees. They are 'tabooed'
as effectually as though they were on
fire. The great clouds of birds each
morning and evening fly directly over
my trees going and coming, but not a
bird settles upon tree that is on my
side of the dividing-fence.
| Another strange thing is that IL any
one of an evening stands on my lawn
and makes a slight noise, as slapping his
hands tbara will he the widest cororoo-
ton among the birds in the neighboring
trees. They become restless and almost
panic-stricken. If, however the same
person crosses the fence and stands di-
rectly under them, and makes twice as
much noise, they pay no attention
whatever to him. He can even shoot up
| into them without driving them from
| their perches.' Indiana Sentinel.

CLASSIFICATION OF MINERAL

The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany has for many years past urged
upon the attention of the General Land
Office the necessity for more expedi-
tious classification of mineral lands. It
suggested to the State Miners Asso-
citation the idea of appointing COM
mission, to be paid jointly by the min
ers and the railroad company, to visit.
inspect, and classify these lands. But
for the fact that the State Miners As
ISOLATION was represented by imprac-
ticable attorneys, who knew little or
nothing of the subject, an amicable
commission would have been appointed
and a friendly classification would
have been reached. 1t was out of the
negotiations relating to this subject
that the present mineral lands bill now
before Congress was evolved.
1t is almost pitiful to see the at
tempts which have been made by people
to give this classification bill the ap-
pearance of an anti-railroad measure.
The State Miners Association and the
Central Pacific Railroad Company
acted in perfect accord concerning that
bill. Mr.. Tirey L. Ford, who went to
Washington to represent the State
Miners Association as Chairman of
the Legislative Committee, in conjunc-
ton with the representatives of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, for
mulated a bill
Some of the details Of the bill orig
inally presented by Congressman
johnson from this district differed
from those in the bill now before Con-
gress, but these details were of minor
Importance, and the railroad company
as readily consented to the new bill as
to the old. 1t is an absurdity to sup
pose that this mineral lands bill was
an anti-railroad measure, or that any
newspaper. or any politician, or any
embryo candidate for office can make
any anti-railroad capital out of il.
The Idaho Montana bill, of which the
bill now before Congress relating to
the classification OF mineral lands in
California is practically an exact copy,
worked admirably and especially in
favor Of the railroads. Whatever
tends to settle titles to lands granted
IN aid OF the construction Of a railroad
Is OF the highest value to the property
itself Repose of title is a paramount
merchanta.ble element. The rapidity
with which mineral lands We're classi-
fed within the limits of the grant to
the Northern Pacific Railroad was
something astonishing. In the space of
about a year that corporation received
patents to three million acres of land,
and the classification bill passed by
Congress greatly facilitated that meas
ure.
The earliest practicable ascertain
ment as to what is and what is not
mineral within the limits of the rail-
road grant Is of the highest value to the
railroads themselves. The Central Pa
cific Railroad Company has been behind
the mineral lands bill now before Con-
eress from the very first, and will in
very truth promote its passage.
The so-called anti-railroad press,
which, by the way, has become the
synonym for yenal press, has in
sisted on regarding this classification
