Instinct in Q Bird.

A traveller relates thas while passing
through small forest in Brazil he was
attracted by the rapidly-uttered cries
of alarm of a bird, and, wishing to
learn the cause, he made his way to
the tree whence he thought the sounds
proceeded, and, looking up, saw that
serpent was slowly winding itself Up
toward a nest of unf1edged little ones.
While watching it's movements the
male parent bird arrived, who, cir
cling twice or thrice over the top OF
the tree, swiftly darted further away
into the forest, and in few seconds
returned with large leaf in its little
mouth, which it instantly placed over
the nest, and then flew up higher.
Meantime the serpent wound itself
slowly up the tree and reached the
nest, but, on putting it's head over the
side, quickly started back, descended
the tree, and was lost in the under
wood. The traveller, being deeply in
terested in the singular incident, aft.
erwards learned from some of the ma.
tives that the leaf of a certain tree IL
a deadly poison to the serpent. How
had the bird acquired knowledge OF
this? What mortal can say? What
philosopher can explain?

1t Was just Hundred Years Ago That
They Occurred.
An hundred years ago the island of
st. Domingo was the fairest and rich

1t had been growing in production and
wealth more rapidly than any other

sxuberant fertility of its soil and well

The French portion-one third only
was the most productive, and the
value OF its products was estimated at
i75, 900, 900 francs-an increase OF
100, 600, 600 francs in quarter of a
,entury-a sum which represented the
measure of toll exacted by human
jlavery. The population of the colo
ny was $40, 600. OF this number 49,
BOO were whites of all classes, 80. 900
were mulattOes or free people of col
ors, 500, 600 were negro slaves. Among
ihe white was class of vagabonds
,catterd throughout the colony, a
worthless set on which the mulattOes
bestowed the epithet of lies petits
blancs" The African slave trade was
1t its height at this period. More

way into the slave marts OF Saint Do
