At dusk in the wilds of the gloomy
Brazilian forest you will think il
strange to hear the clink of hammer
on an anvil You would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement,
and the picture of the ruddy glow OF
the forge would come up before your
eyes.
But if your guide were a native, he
would tell you that the sound was made
by campanero, as they call it, al
though to foreigners it is known as the
anvil bird.
This bird is little larger than a
thrush. The plumage is perfectly white,
the eyes are pale gray color, and the
naked throat and skin around the eyes
are of a fine bright green, while its
more northerly relative is orange and
black. very much Ike our oriole.
1t is generally in the early part of the
day that the campanero sends forth the
wonderful note that can be heard at a
distance Of three miles. Marvellous in.
deed must be the mechanism of the vo.
cal organs of so small a bird to produce
SO tArreaching note, but there is nc
dCult of tbe fact, for many travellers
have heard the strange sound uttered
by the bird when perched ON the top,
most branch of some withered tree. -

in England besides as the fearless
champion of the colonies' great IN

returned from London, and the wsest

II Ia worth while 10 pause moment to
look at Franklin standing forth now
as n leader of revolution, for he was
one of the great men of the century.
He was then in his SEVENTEEN year, but
vigorous and keen as ever in mind ana
body He could have done more than
any other one man to prevent colonial
revolt. He was cminently conservative
and peace-loving, MS well as loyal to
the mother country. The ministry that
would have listened to him and been
guided by him, would have held Amer
lea, ard fastened It tighter than ever
to the empire. Instead of this, official
England sent her solicitor general to
Willy and abuse him in the presence or
the privy council and before the Eng
ligh people. Franklin listened in sil-
ence to the invectlve then heaped upon
him, and the most powerful friend OF
peace, union and Cancellation was lost
to England Now he had come back
to guide his countrymen in the dangers
that beset them. and to win allies fol
them from beyond the seas. In tn.
man of science. letters and philanthro-
ply we are apt to lose sight of the bold
statesman and great diplomatist. We

graves jewelry and other articles Of
value.
In the early days of the Northwest
1t was the custom of the Indians to
bury their dead not by placing the
bodies in the ground, but by wrapping
them in blankets and buffalo robes
and laying them on platforms but
when settlers began to pour In this
method was abandoned and the bodies
were laid in the earth as are the
bodies of white men. with the body
of every Indian was buried jewelry
and money. the idea being that he
would need these things, as well as
his bow aud arrows and his war club,
on his arrival In the happy hunting
grounds. The jewelry, especially in
the cases of chiefs and their leading
lieutenants. was of great value. and
the money in some instances was In
gold, and in many cases cash and
jewelry to the amount of several hum
dred dollars was thus buried in a sin
gle grave.
The men who are now engaged in
despoilng these old Indian graves
have been at work for some time, and
have already been remarkably sue
cessfdl. The ancient burial grounds
are numerous throughout the North
west, and when once located little re-
mains to be done but to dig down and
secure the jewelry and money. 1t Is
believed the Indians now living on the
reservations in the state will make n
vigorous protest when they learn of
the despoiling of the graves of their
ancestors.
