The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1896-05-29

w. L. Bruce Of Yankton. South
Dakota, reports 10 the Forest and
Stream that while hunting along tho
james river, he shot two albino quail
from a flock normally colorod They
were larger than the ordinary bird. Of
cream color spocklod with brown,
but 80 dimly as to appear pure white
at short distance. Some years ago
an old quail With thirteen young, all
albinos, were reported from Califor-
MIA by correspondent Of the same
paper. Many individual albino quail
are reported, and a few albino ruled
grouse. The London Field lately
noted the finding of albino and pied
rocks, crows and blackbirda and a
white house martin. 1t also told about
white badger that was taken in a
weasel trap short time ago.
A pure white deer and a notified
one were reported killed on WILDLY
Island in Puget sound lately. Three
or more white Wild turkeys are known
to have been killed during the past
fifteen years. One bird in Tennessee
was known as the sold White Witch
Turkey" He may not have been
a bright bird naturally, but 1t wasn't
very long after he was Matched that
he learned that being white was not
all comfort. The hen turkeys liked
him exceedingly, and one of his Off
spring, a gray bird, was killed IN 1882,
while others Of light color were seen.
Hundreds of bullets we're fred at the
witch bird, but without success, and
he probably died q natural death in
some out-of-the way clump Of bushes.
For many years albinos we're
thought to be barren, but observation
has proved this to be erroneous. One,
female robin, reared a brood Of
young for five successive seasons up
the Hudson, and a number of other
robins were seen attending young in
the vicinity during two or three mat
ing seasons, the young being often
oddly colored. Albino robins and
squirrels are most frequently seen of
the small creatures, while deer are
the most numerous of larger albinos.
An albino moose was never seen.

Two Vicious Eagles.

A thrilling experience with two
large Arctic eagles took place on the
marshes of Seabrook, Mass, few
days ago. Daniel A. Walton Of that
town, was with his team on the border
of the marshes waiting to see a party.
While sitting in the wagon he noticed
the approach of two large birds across
the marsh.
When they we're nearly over his
head he observed that they were I'M
commonly large eagles, and to his as
tonishment and fear they began to
settle down with the evident intention
Of making an attack upon him.
They swoopcd down upon him in a
most ferocious manner. His only
weapon of defense was coal basket.
which he used in an unsuccessful eff
fort to ward them off. They became
so desperate in their attack that Mr.
Walton was obliged to jump from the
wagon and run for protection to the
nearest house.
The eagles pursued him until he
was safe inside the house.
Then they turned about and went
off in different direction, making
loud outcries. A few years ago Sam
uel Walton, an uncle of Daniel, was
attacked in similar manner by an
eagle and had to hide under his
wheelbarrow to escape his angry an
tagonist.

Herbert Spencer has said:
"Pcrhaps nothing will SO much
hasten the time when body and
mind will both be adequately
cared tor, as a discussion Of the
belief that the preservation Of
health is a duty. Few men
seem conscious that there is
such thing as physical moral
ity. Mems habitual words and
acts imply the idea that they are
at liberty to treat their bodies as
they pl~ ase, though the evil
consequences inflicted OH their
dependents and OF future genera
tons are often as grert as those
caused by crime; yet they do not
think themselves guilty in any
degree of crime"

Eloquent and Patriotic Remarks OF tt

Eio q1snt ami Patriotic Remarks OF the
State Executive.
Gov. Altgeld spoke as fellows:
We are here op grand mission, on
mission that rises above politics,
partisanship and self seeking. We
have come to lay the corner stone Of
a great public charity-a charity
which we hope viii be bl ssing to
the world for al the centuries TO
come. In these days of excitement
and heated discussion, when the pas
sions of men are much inilamed, it is
inspiring to see men of all political
convictions meet together to perfol m
Il ceremony that appeals to the no.
bier and loftier sentiments of man.
The prog ress of the world is recorded.
net by the development of pheuome-
nal physical strength. but by its in
tellectual, its moral aud its charita-
BILE development.
Through long ages those who were
unfortunate enough to be deprived
of the use of some of their faculties,
and who were therefore unable to
care for them selves and became a
burden upon others. were deli berate-
ly destroyed by their more fortunate
brethren. Then came many long,
hard centuries in which those who
were bsreft Of reason were thought
to be possessed OF devil, and we're
regarded with horror. Thev were
chained 10 trees: they were locked in
filthy and dark dungeons aud per-
mitted 10 rot in loathsomeuess and
misery. Toward the beginning of
this century science asserted that in
sanity was simply disease of the
brain; that the brain, like all other
organs Of the body. WAS physical in
its character, and subject to Il great

forms of disease DESTROYED the func
tions OF the brain and with them the
reasoning powers of the patient. 1t

Gov. Altgeld appointed as said
trustees, Hon. John 4. Eden of Sui
livan; Hon. W. Selden Gale, of Gales.
Rock Island.
The newly appointed board met in
the city ofRock Island and organized
| and elected as president, John R.
Eden, and as secretary, William
Hoe.t, of Rock Island.
Late in Septem Der of the same
year Trustee Silyis, now deceased,
resigned on account of failing health.
and his excellency Oct. %. 1895, ap-
pointed Thomas j. Medill. Jr., Of
Rock Island, to fill the vacancy.
The board of trus.e-s at once set
about the task of selecting site for
the hospital. Many sites were Of
fered by the counties OF Knox, War
ren and Rock Island, but the board
Of trustees in session in the city of
Springfield Dec. 9 last selected the
site upon which we are now stand
ing.
1t is known as the Watertown site,
embraces 4S4 acres OF land. and was
donated to the state by citizens and
the county of Rock Island.
By virtue of the law the board OF
trustees was authorized. in fact, in
structed to prepare plans for the
construction of The hospital, said
plans to be approved By the gov
ernor and the board of state COM
missioners of public charities. Such
plans were prepared and adopted.
1t is believed the p!aus embrace
all modern improvements in the care
of the insane, and the hospital when
completed will be one of the model
institutions of its kind in America.
Thus for the first time in the history
Of the state of Illinois has the north
western portion Of this common
wealth been recognized by placing
within its confines this great insti-
tuition. and, well may we feel kindly
toward those who have been inden-
titled with its creation, particularly
to our honored governor.
There was music by the Svea
