DUCKS IN THE SAHARA DESERT.
1.-THE proverbial fondness of ducks
for water would lead one to presuppose
that of all the world the most destitute
of ducks would be the Sahara Desert,
and that if a stray spring tall happen
ed to drift into that region he would
either vamose or turn up his toes with
briefest delay. Well, not at ALL said
said Frenchman now in the city, who
was formerly a resident of Tunis.
"There are parts of the desert where
ducks abound, flourish and multiply
with every evidence of perfect salts
faction. The fowl is slightly different
from any Of the varieties we know in
this country, but it has the same flat
bill, extensive breast and web feet,
showing that 1t was once water bird,
though now it scarcely finds enough to
drink, and has become too provident to
waste any of the precious fluid in ablu-
lions. Like the other good Mussul-
mans of the country, they take their
prescribed bath in the sand, and their
web feet come in very handy as snow
shoes to walk upon the deep, yielding
dust. 1t is claimed by an eminent
French ornithologist that the Sarartn
ducks are the remains of race OF
aquatic birds which frequented those
seas when the present desert was
part of the Atlantic Ocean" While we
are introducing foreign bugs, beetles
and beasts into the United States for
various purposes, why not try some OF
the desert ducks in some of our arid
Western lands ?--The News Orleans

cases she took an appeal to the court Of
common pleas, and the bonds in each
case were fixed at 500.

cases were called neither he nor his
wife appeared in court and the mat
ter dragged along for some time. Late
~ the state attorney has become inter
ested in the cases, and on Monday the
papers were made out and were served
yesterday.

Business Meeting In Forenoon and DIM

eral Dickfnson-LIst of Some Who
Were Present.

About $50 members We're present yes
terday at the thirty-fourth annual re-
union Of the Twelfth regiment, Connec-
ticut Volunteers association. The bus
mess meeting was held in the forenoon,
at the rooms of Admiral Foote post, G..
A. r., on Court street, and dinner was
served at the Pier restaurant at Savin
Rock Many of the members were ac-
companed by wives and daughters.
The reunion was a great success, so
much so that it was voted to hold the
next one at the same place year
hence
Ex- Mayor A. c. Hendrck is presi-
dent of the regimental association, and
he presided at the business meeting
yesterday morning, and had the head
OF the table at the banquet which fol-
lowed. He welcomed the veterans in
an appropriate speech, especially en-
n phasizing the loss to the regiment in
the recent death of Captain l.. A. Dick
inson of Co. A. Routine business oc-
cupied most of the forenoon. The old
officers were reelected as follows:
President, A. c. Hendrick of New Ha-
ven; vice president, Henry E. futile
of New Haven; secretary and treasur-
er, James B. Smith of Hartford; execu-
tive committee, Joseph Curtis, Henry
Lyon, Franklin Smith, all of New Ha-
ven. The executive committee will ar
range for the next reunion.
Chaplain James H. Bradford Of
association, reported the death during
q tIo ~,
Charles H. Paine, Patrick Fitzpatrick,
and James Duffy Co. B. and Daniel J.
Shaffer of Co. D. He read resolutions
expressing the loss of the association
by the death of Captain Dickinsn, and
they were adopted. They are similar
In expression to those lately passed by
the Loyal Legion. Letters We're read
from many absentees, all of them
speaking in most endearing terms of
the late Captain Dickinson, and the loss
which the regiment has sustained in
his death. Treasurer Smith reported
cash surplus of nearly $500, which was
very satisfactory.
The most notable battles in which
the Twelfth took part were Winchester,
Va, on September 10, 1864, and the bat
tie Of Cedar Creek, Va, October 10,
1884. Other engagements are: Georgia
Landing, Va, October q, 1862. They
figured in the capture Of the Confeder-
ate gunboat Cotton on January IA,
1853. They We're also engaged in Bis
land, La. April Is, 1868. The siege of
Port Hudson, La, from May 25 to July
8, 1863, brought it into prominence as
"a fighting regiment, which withstood a
much larger force.

that time.
The Fair Haven and Westville Rail
read company, reservation; the case is
erased from the superior court docket;
demurrer overruled; if city doesn't
plead again judgment is for the appel
liant.
In this case the supreme court de-
cides that the action of the common
council in imposing as a condition for
allowing the company to double track
at Grannss' Corner that the company
establish a five-cent fare to Morris Cove
was illegal. In addition to this, the
court decides that the portion of the
order which allowed the company to
lay double tracks was legal and stands,
although the condition imposed, and
which was a part of the order, is not
valid and beyond the power Of the COM
mon council to impose.
1t was expected that the Judges
would give an opinion on the case in
which George YAM appealed for new
trial. The court did not hand down an
opinion in this case. but has deferred
giving judgment on it until some other
time.
1t is understood that the judges will
hold another consultation within a few
weeks to clear up matters before them.
1t is necessary that they do this before
October |, as at that time Chief Justice
Andrews retires from office and will be
by Judge Torrance.
