enthusiasm.

In this campaign Republican speakers
will. devote their entire attention to the
constitutional amendment, for limiting the

AMERICAN EAGLE AT HOME.
One BIRD That for Many Years Cheese
a nigh Tree for His eGen-
sive Nest.

An old friend met US. He first
showed as n black spot far up on the
shore, then drifted grandly down upon
set pinions, lacking in aud out like a
yacht working TO the windward. 1t
happened he was Sloping shoreward
when he passed, and at 40 yards his
snowy head and tail and broad brown
fans showed to fine advantage. We
could see the polished yellow OF his
hooked bill and the fierce fash Of his
marvellous golden telescope eye as he
turned 1t upon US and then back to his
tireless searching Of the water and the
wave line along shore.
For years this eagle, hoary old beach
comber as he is, has patrolled the shore
daily for miles, seeking what the wa
tiers have cast up, for be II known he Is
not above accepting even carrion.
Many q dead fish and lost bird he gets
for the trouble OF picking them up, but
he can hunt, too, when he feels so dis
posed. Season after season he aud his
mate have patched the old nest aud
reared their eaglets in peace,
No n can climb the tree and no de.
cent man would shoot at the birds.
Should you visit the foot Of the tree
your nose will be assailed by a most
Questionable odor, and your naturally
brief inspection will convince you that
the eagles do hunt more than they are
given credit for. Everywhere are fregt
ments of fish, while among them are
wings and tails which must have be-
longed to grouse, portions of hares
and other fragments suspiciously like
certain parts Of lambs, sucking pigs
and domestic fowls. But they were not
our lambs, pigs or fowls, and SO po shot
whistles after the old pirate, who seems
to understand that he Is free to bucea-
neer to his hearts content.-outlng.

among the merry viennese, Of how a
gay young nobleman won a curious
wager. He declared that II was quite
possible to be taken up by the Vienna
police without committing any crime
whatever. To prove this Count Sander
appeared one day, stability dressed, at
an obscure inn. ordered some refresh

equivalent for a elOO note, which he
pulled u Of the shaft of his dilapidated
topboot. This was quite sufficient to
bring a guardian Of law and order upon
the scene, who took the prisoner" to
the neares police station in order that
he might justify the possession of so
much wealth.
The Vienna OF to-day is vastly differ

however, does not prevent similar acct

~casionally have a 100 note in his pos

But even this recent Occurrences did
not suffice TO quench the zeal OF the

quite enough to cause such emotion
that the band ceased playing for q

Big Battle Expected Next Week.

London, Jan. 8, ba. m.-This mornings
news throws no further light upon the
war situation. The exact position at
Molento and Cyphergat is not yet clear,
but 10 any case these little engagements
are Of small Importance beyond proving
that the British forces are beginning TO
attain a greater degree of mobility.
1t is fully expected that next week, will
see a heavy battle on the Tugela river,
which is now the real pivot Of the cam
paign. The Beers appear to be working
necessarily with shovel and pick.
Lord Methuen's cavalry scouting has
developed the fact that the Boers' In.
trenchments extend some forty miles, lar
overlapping the British positions and
making flank attacks exceedingly din
cult. Military analytios affirm that the
Boers' trenches confronting General Bull
Ter stretch away some seventeen miles,
and that work upon them 10 pushed uu-
remittingly.
While the advance Is delayed, flank
movements are rendered most difficult,
because long marches are not done with
celebrity and IL lie hard to time al attack
with certainty.
