WORK OF THE INSTITUTION.
The acceptance of the Smthson trust is
| the only action of the kind ever undertaken
| by our Government. The Institution has
| been the center of scientific research and
exploration, and through its medium the
natural history, geography, ciimatology,
| botany, mineralogy, geology, and archie
o!o9y of the Western Continent have re-
ceived greater impulse in the increase and
diffusion of knowledge. pertaining to their
respective branches of science. than
through all other inStrumentalitieS COM
bined in the course OF our existence as a
Nation.
BY the Congressional enactment of 1846.
through which an establishment was
created in accordance with the proyis o IS
of the Smithson bequest, the business per-
tanning thereto was placed under the man
agement of Board of Regents. This
board is composed of the Vice-President
and Chief Justice of the United States,
three Senators, three members of the House
of Representatives, and six persons nOmi-
mated by Congress. By this act the origi-
nal fund is stipulated as having been lent
in perpetuity to the Treasurer of the United
States at six per cent, payable semi-an-
nually.
Other provisions as to its expenditures
were imposed, so that the fund has now
increased to nearly 81 100000. The rev.
enueS accruing are used for "the increase
of knowledge" by original investigation
and study in science and literature; and in
the diffusion of knowledge by publication.

Numerous works are published annually,

said to4lave been his monument, although
it was built by the funds of another man.

Director as well as Secretary from 1S48
to 1878, and had charge Of its organization,

The interior is not we'll lighted, especially
the entrance corridors, where are found the
Lorillard collection of tablets and affairs
from the ruins Of Palanique, Mexico, near
Guatemala. These collections, crowded
with carvings, are of q most curious and
interesting character. The elaborate head
dresses on the priests of the Altar of the
Temple of the Cross and of the Temple of the
Sun show that they once wore the plumeS
and feathers and birds and ornaments of tor
toise shell, of which the fashionable women
now have monopoly; also, that in that
time of masculine adornment it was men
who wore the fur-tippetS with the heads OF
the animals dangling from their necks.
Fashions, like politics. undergo many
changes.
BIRD COLLECTION AT SMITHSONIAN IN
STITUTION.
The main floor of the Smithsonian In
stitution is devoted to a collection of birds,
embracing over 10000 specimens Of every
known variety, some of which are not to be
found in any other museum in the world.
They are of all species and varieties, sizes,
and colors, and the plumage of some is
very brilliant. Thinking to please the
children, a collection of domestic fowls has
been made in an alcove of the building.

Has it not been the experience Of
all communities that, where local
mills have been run down by the more
powerful outside mills, that all mill
ing products have immediately ad-
vanced in price, and, too, to such an
extent that the consumers have suf-
fered thereby much more than they
were benefited by the temporary and
unnatural reduction incident to the
war on the hume product? Is it not
true that where there is no local mill
to stand between the farmer and the
buy ers for shipment, wheat commands
a less price than at points where To-
cal mills are In operation? Farmer,
merchants and business men should
consider these matters seriously and
