The other day a silver orator
down in Jersey was illustrating to
an admiring audience the beauty of
having a pocketfull of the white
metal, and reaching down in his
trousers produced a hand full of
coins, remarking, " Enough of this
is good enough for me-" AS he
jingled the pieces over in his hand,
his brow suddenly darkened, and in
a tone slightly tinged with sulphur,
he remarked, "I wonder what -
scoundrel stuck that Mexican dollar
ON me, the blank thing is only
worth fifty cents" The beauty of
free silver faded into a discussion of
the damp weather, and the best
methods TO make hens lay.

.. Nest of 1,iotx springs.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is birds nest made entirely of steel. There are a number of clock-making shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day a clock maker noticed in tree in his yard a birds nest of peculiar appearance. Ex- amining it, he found that pair of wag- tails had built a nest entirely of clock springs It was more than four inches across, and perfectly comfortable for the birds. After the feathered archi- tects had reared their brood, the nest was taken to the museum, where it is preserved as a. striking illustration of the skill of birds in turning their sur 1oundings to advantage in building their nests.

Nature Paints of Negroes.

A writer in Progress Artistique, in discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with feeting association with for eigners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

Robert Rhinehart Depicts the Glories
 of Phoenix.

Los Angeles Record: Mir Robert Rhinehart, the big stationery and news dealer, of Phoenix, Arizona, is in town MT. Rhtnehart is an enthusiastic be- liever in the future of Arizona, and when asked for an opinion of her im- mediate prospects this morning he said:
 'tAs Whitelaw Ried said last win ter, Phoenix is the finest winter resort in the world With a dry climate and DO fogs it srrpasses the much vaunted climatic conditions pf Cairo. This will not be our only hope, however, for we have a large tributary country around us and that country is underlaid with gold and silver and the Salt River val ley is the finest agricultural land in the country In fact all of Arizona is good agriculturally when water is put upon it. The sands of the desert will grow anything if they have only water. Our prospects for a. prosperous winter are exceedingly good and I believe we will lhave the most prosperous in our history In deed I almost venture to say that Phoenix has been the liveli- est town in the country this summer.

Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
 Birds.
 1t is popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but number of naturalists who have been making study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight, but it's wings make 800 beats second, and send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet per second. If it could continue such rapid flight for mile in straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 33 seconds.
 It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between swal- low and dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and lodged with such ease that the swallow, despite it's utmost efforts completely tailed to overtake and capture it.-Phila- delphia Record.

Is said learned that he had served
eight years in press rOom-four as
an apprentice and four as a journey
man. The executive board, however.
wrote a letter to the civil service com
mission alleging that Carter had not
complied with the rules of the Print
ing Pressmen's Union, as formulated
by the International Typographical
Union, and intimated that they would
like to have Carter discharged from
his place
COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
Upon the receipt of the communica-
tiOn from Messrs. Fenton and Others
of the local union the civil service
commission likewise made an investi-
cation and found that Carter had COM
piled with the civil service law and al
so of the Pressmen's Union, TO which
he was permitted to belong when a
resident of Bay City, but that he had
not beea a member of the union of
this city because he could not join nn
account of his color Thereupon Presi.

sion informed the executive board of

A OOLORED DEMOCRAT.

Done About It.

An amusing incident is said to have
occurred at the capitol building not
long since. The scene took place in
the elevator of that building.
George Parker is a colored democrat
employed at the headquarters of that
party by Joe Button, the white leader.
Both are ardent free silverites.
1t is presumed that brother Parker
on account of his position and politics.
presumed that he would Certainly
have more rights than the average
colored man, not less. and he present.
ed himself at the elevator TO secure a
ride to the floors above. In fact. il ia
said that he planted himself in the car.
but was ordered out despite his pro-
test, and told TO walk upstairs. He
was very angry, but as he had a mes
sage to convey, he proceeded so to do.
Thus was shown the contempt for
those who are Democrats for gain only
rather than from principle. Nothing
further has been heard of the matter
and the daily newspapers have been
silent on the subject.
