THIS morning, for the first time this
spring, the domain OF the English SPAR
row here, was invaded by the Virgins
thrush, whose soft and sweet warbliDgs
were most agreeable change from the
harsh, short and unvsrying chirps OF the
more numerous foreign birds, that, like
negroes, will not stay 10 the country,
but flock to the cities. The advent Of
the bright harbingers Of spring Is cheer
ful and enlivening, and stimulates the
hope of more substantial things.

REDUCE EXPENSES.

We have been educated to look upon
an individual in public Office as Gu.
perior to and above the ordinary en-
ployee. For instance, bank cashier
is met and saluted ss "Mr. Tweedum,"
while the City Treasurer Is hailed as
"your honor" Although the City
Treasurer's salary may be only $500
and the cashiers 5000, we have seen

and 30 long as this idea prevails new
offices will be created and new officers
appointed, when the salaries are
taken from q general fund raised by

Count Boni Attacks His Old Enemy

Paris, March 14.-CouDt Boni De
Castellane slapped his old antagonist,
NJ. de Rodays, editor OF the Figaro, in
the face today and is likely to have to
fight duel In consequence. The &C.
casion Of the attack by Castellane on
De Rodays was that the latter had in

senger who went to Paul De Roulede
on the night-of February %, 1899, and
asked him what he ahould do if the
Duke OF Orleans should appear among
bis friends. DR.. Roulede replied that
he would arrest the Duke, whereupon
De Roulede's plans for an attempted
coup were promptly disconnected. NJ.

was, In effect, q charge that Csstellane
had been trescherous 10 De- Roulede.
Today Count Boni. accompanied by NJ.

on Rodays and demanded an explapa-
ton Rodsys would give no sstisfac-
tory reply, but showed a disposition to
temporizs. Boni repeated his demand
for an absolute retraction, and when
Rodays continued to temporize Count
Boni slapped him angrily in the face
several times. The rest, including
Morel, iuterfered and prevented the
angry Count from infictipg further
punishment on Rodays. II is now al
most certain that there will be an i'm
