AN AGED ROYAL PARROT.

Ducky, Owned by the Princess of Wales,
Was Over 125 Years Old.
One of the longest lived birds on rec
ord died recently in London. It was a
parrot named Ducky, the property Of
the Prince Of Wales, and it's age was
put at more than 1875 years. Ducky
was native Of the United States OF
Colombia, whence he was transported
to England in 1888, and bought by
Prime Minister Pitt, who, in 1900 pre-
scented him to his master, George III.
From this date on the bird was recog-
nized as part of the royal household,
with quarters at st. James,. Ducky,
however, developed amazing CONVEX
sational powers, unaccompanied with
the proper leaven OF discretion, and in
1850 he was sentenced to Punishment
from st. James on the charge, it is
said, Of divulging family secrets. In
his new dwelling place, Windsor Cas-
tie, Ducky acquired even worse habits.
Windsor accommodates small garri-
son, and the parrot was quick to ac-
Quire the Vernacular Of Tommy At
kins. The result was considered IN
suitable to the well-knOwn decorum OF
the British court, and sentence of
Punishment to Australia was passed
on the offender The amiable Princess
of Wales, however, came to the rescue
and Ducky was removed to Sandring
ham, where he remained until the dav
Of his death. Great age though it be,
125 years is not considered by scien
tifc men as the absolute age limit of
q parrot SO reliable an observer as
Humboldt. whose statement in this
manner is accepted without question
by Darwin. tells of a parrot that must
have lived 200 vars. The naturalist
came across the bird in South America.
and his reasons for crediting it with
such extraordinary longevity were
that he heard it use some words of
a language spoken only by a tribe of
Indians which have been extinct more
than 200 years.-New York Sun.

LETTER FROM MIR. BRYAN.
He Writes to Major ]. e. NJ. Wrigh,
of This civ

He Writes to Major J. e. NJ. Wright
of This City.
Earl III. Wright, of this city. who
was orderly or courier on General Lees
staff at Jacksonville last Summer. was
thrown in contact with Colonel Bryan
as the Colonel of the Nebraska Regi-
ment. When Earl returned home he
told his father of the many courteses
and kindnesseS shown him by Colonel
Bryan. Major Wright addressed n let
ter TO Colonel Bryan, in which he as
sured him of the continued and in
creasing loyalty of the Sons of Old Vir-
ginia TO the principles enunciated in
the platform OF the Chicago Convention
IN 1896. and referred especially TO Mr..
BryanS firm and uncomprosing opposi-
ton 10 colonization and the acquisitions
OF more territory. Major Wright was
not for Mr.. Bryan in 1896. on the silver
ratio of Ii to l, and it is not his purpose
To explain in this pleasing Interchange
OF personal courtcsies why he was not.
SUFFICIENT to say, the political vicissi-
tudes of the past year have convinced
him that Colonel Bryan is the only mar
mat can lead the people out of the
Wilderness of combines and trusts. in
every branch of commercial industry,
which, if condoned by this American
liepublic, will enventuate in that chaos
and blood experienced by the French
in their revolt for individual liberty
The response OF MIR. Bryan speaks fol-
itself, and to this end Major Wright
gives it to the public:
MIR. BRYAN'S REPLY.
April 10th, 1899.
Major J. L. M.Wright. Portsmouth, Va.
My Dear Sir.-Your kind favor al

ago, and there are several places in
Virginia which L have promised to visit
