PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights Of London none IS more interesting than it's pi- geons, which bring a suggestion of old=world stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There is a particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon don, and they are to be found all over the city. 4 curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side of huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life. for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but gran and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of a coffee house reI!giously brings bits of broken bread for his feathered friends.
 One of the prettiest sights is to sec the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half q dozen read CTS who make q practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food. The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there one who will not scatter a handful of grain fano the horses nosebags.

Dinners Served Up In a rrss.

A restaurant exists at the village of Robinson (named after Crusoe) about ten miles from Paris, where they serve dinners up in a tree. This restaurant has turned the trees of it's garden in5o small thatch-roofed paytlons. They are built solidly into the branches. and plainly furnished with deal tables, straw-seated chairs, and coarse, clean napery. The visitors ascend by flight of rustic steps, and the food is hauled up in wicker baskets by a stout cord and pulley. There is a waiter below, a waiter above and, considering the distance the viands have to travel be- fore they appear on the table they are served tolerably hot. There were said gentleman who recently dined there, three stories or platforms OF the tree on which my party diped We occupied the middle one. while the pa vilion above IS was in the possession of a group Of xoeaIists Every one was in high spirits and tho dinner in a tree proved a great success.

SPANISH nARRoTE.
Relic of Modern Barbarlsm UueaBthed
 from an ola Havana Prison.
Among the many relics of the SD

Among the many relics of the Span
 iah war taken to the governors palace
 for cataloguing, none Is attracting
 more attention in Havana just now
 than the old official garrote. The ma chine has been in active service for more than century, the last exeeu-
 tioner an aged negro convict, having
 presided at 70 ceremonies. The gar
 rote itself is a shabby enough old trap.
 consisting mainly of rusty iron and
 an unplaned board or two The dons
 are aWfully punctilious in regard to
 form, but scandaIoHsly careless Of ap- pearance. A judge who might have seven kinds of fits if he should omit one syllable of the interminably long harangue delivered at the scene of the judicial murder, would calmly offieiate at the same in a condition which to the untrained olfactories Of the ignor- ant Yankees might savor of the hum- ble animal the dons have declared we resemble. Thus t is that the garrote is simple to excess. It $ about 10 feet high all told The platform, which IS four feet from the ground. is some six feet square. Attached to the iron column which runs through and sup ports this is an iron chair. Two feet above this Is the fatal screw The cul- prit % is seated in this chair with his hands and feet firmly tied, and his eyes blindfolded At the proper mo- ment, tWirl is given the screw. # which penetrates his neck and breaks his spinal column The operation may or may not be very painful. If it were not for the peculiarly Gendish manner in which the affairs were conducted there is reason to believe that the gar rote is less inhuman than either the rope or the chair 1t is the Spanish who have thrown the method into odium.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN SECT.

it Has the Usual Nanber of queer
 HeiIsgs.
 Another of those curious sects which are continually spfingfng up in Russia is reported from the government of 4steakhan. They call themselves, or are called Enochites. and their belieSa are. as usual in these cases. the resdk. o4 gross ignorance. combined wfea much reading of the Bible, says tbe London Standard All tokens of the imperial government are unrecognized by them as being the works os anti Christ whose seal, namely the Rus sian eagle. they find on all official pa pers and the current coin of the land. That wonderful priest. John of Krone stadt, is for them the Prophet Elias. while the local orthodox priest is Enoeh. and the appearance of these two in the flesh they regard as pres aging the end of the world. As is the custom in such eases, the police have laid hands on all members of the sect that they could, and some seventy per sons are now lying in prison, and will in the ordinary course be sent off to .residenee@ for life in Siberia. From one point of view the frequency with which these seets keep sprtnging up is 8 good sign fer Russian progress. though the orthodox church cannot well afford to recognize the fact. While men read their Bibles, and however ab- l surdiy or mistakenly interpret what they read for themselves, they are making progress. for the average Rus i sian, even in very much more exalted circles than the poor peasants among whom these sects appear, know a great Ceal more about the code of laws than about the Scriptures.
