Among the early spring arrivals at
the north none are more welcome than
the phoebe. Though naturally building
its nest under an overhanging cliff Of
rock or earth or in the mouth Of cave,
its preference for the vicinity of farm
buildings is SO marked that in the more
thickly settled parts of the country the
bird is seldom seen at any great dis
lance from a farmhouse except where
a bridge spans some stream, affording
a secure spot for a nest. Its confiding
disposition has rendered it a great ia
vorite, and consequently it is seldom
disturbed. 1t breeds throughout the
United States east of the great plains
and winters from the south Atlantic
and gulf states southwark.
The phoebe subsists almost entirely
upon insects, most of which are caught
on the wing. These species are mostly
harmful. Small wild fruits and her,
ries comprise the vegetable food. No
cultivated fruits are disturbed by the
phoebe. 1t is evident that a pair of
phGbes must materially reduce the
number of insects near a garden or
field, as the birds often, If not always,
raise two broods year. and each brood
numbers from four to six young.-Los
Angeles Times.

During the civil war President Lin
colin discussed the 1mpracticability of
maintaining a discovered country and
submitted some proposed amendments
TO the constitution looking to the
elimination of slavery, without which,
he said, "the rebellion could never have
existed" His plan was to purchase
emancipation in a period of 81 years.
and he entered into an elaborate argu-
ment to show that this would be more
prudent and economical than to con-
tinue the war. This led him to forecast
the probable increase in population,
which he believed would continue at
Its normal rate of growth. He said:
"At the same ratio of increase which
we have maintained on an average
from our first national census. in 1890,
until that Of 1860, we should in 1900
have a population of 100, POS, 415. and
why may we not continue that ratio
far beyond that period? . = = We have
$685. 900 square miles. Europe has
100000, with population averaging
IS 1-3 persons to the square mile. Why
may not our country at some time aver
age as many? !" Several of our
states are already above that average,
y and yet they have increased in as
rapid ratio since passing that point
as before."-New LippincOtt

Among the Malta "onesta" is the
great virtue. This virtue is said to be
possessed by those who never under
any circumstances help the authorities
by giving information, not even of
crimes of which they may be the vic

all honor, to become a "cascittuni," or
spy.
This feeling which underlies the Ma
fla, which is not old, but was born in
Sicily at the beginning of the nine

hatred which the Sicilian has for gov

August 81, 1871.

The weather the past week has been
very unfavorable to camp meeting. More
or less rain has fallen every day and many
have been kept at home thereby. Only
about 400 tickets have been sold at this
station, while one good fair day would
have doubled that number.
On Saturday last a boy named johnnie
Adams, about twelve years of age, who
lives in Foxville, attempted to cross the
railroad bridge south of the station In ad-
vance of Conductor Downer's 1926 train,
which was coming In with considerable
speed. When about half way across the
bridge the engine struck him, throwing
him backward upon the pilot, where he
remained until the engine had passed the
bridge, when he rolled off, striking the
ground with considerable force, though
fortunately outside of the rails. When
he was first picked up he was thought to
be fatally injured, but though badly
bruised about the head and shoulders no
bones were broken, and in few days
Johnnie will probably be about again.

The Prayer Before Gettysburg.

General Daniel Sickles told story
Illustrating the tenderness of President
Lincoln's heart as well as his faith in
Providence and his beautiful optimism.
After Sickles had been wounded at
Gettysburg he was removed to Wash
ington, and the president called on him
at the hospital. When the general
described the battle and the awful
slaughter, Lincoln wept like child"
"While the two armies were converg-
Ing" said Lincoln, II went into my
room and prayed as 1 never prayed be-
fore. I told God that If we were to
win the battle he must do 1t, for had
done all that could. went from my
room with great load lifted from my
shoulders, and from that moment !
never had a doubt as to the result. We
shall hear good news from Grant, who
has been pounding away at Vicksburg
for SO many months. l am in a pro
phetic mood today, Sickles, and say
that you will get WELL"
"The doctors do not say So"
II don't care, Sickles, you will get
WELL" persisted the president.
And that afternoon, General Sickles
goes on to say, telegram was receiv-
ed from General Grant announcing the
fall Of Vicksburg. His own recovery
soon followed.

rather badly crippled. aided him some
what in being a philosopher. AS gen
tleman and an injured husband 1t was
Graham's place. to make the first call
and he did 1t. He was rowed off to
Stafford's yacht in his gig. and as he
went up her side ne was received with
all due respect. His wife bowed to
him. Stafford lifted his hat and hoped
ne was well. and If the sailors had
been looking for a brawl they were
disappointed. Unless a gentleman's
wits have been driven out by wine, and
that occasionally happens, he does not
roll in the mud in public. The wife
had no tears, Mysteries or excuses, and
Stafford did not put forward any re
grets over his conduct. On his part
Graham did not ask why this or why
that and then pull a dagger and teal
his hair.
1t was all very quietly and nicely
arranged. The trio descended to the
cabin and even lunched together. There
were no hot words or loud voices. At
the end Of about an hour it was settled
what should be done. The wind had
died out, and the sea was calm. and
there must be an affair Of honor. Moth
ing less could be reasonably offered
and accepted In reparation. The cap
tains Of the yachts were to act as sec
onds as far as they could, but it was
not to be q duel on board Of either
yacht. When all was ready, each prin-
cipal entered his gig and pulled away
to a distance, and the two captains fol-
lowed and stationed them as near the
regulation distance as circumstances
permitted. With more discretion than
she had exercised in falling in love and
with more feeling than she had dis
played over the elopement the erring
wife shut herself up in her stateroom
instead Of becoming spectator, and it
was reported that she even exhibited
considerable emotion for time.
The duel was fought according to the
code. The principals were warned, the
word was given and the pistols were
discharged. At the first fire neither man
was hurt, but at the second Stafford
was shot dead. His body was taken
aboard of his yacht, and Graham him.
self notified his wife that her paramour
had fallen. He didn't rejoice. and she
didn't faint away. AS a gentleman,
though he had been >wronged, it was his
duty to inquire into the state of her
finances and ask as to her future, and
he did it. She desired to return to
England and her parents, and 1t was
arranged that she should do so. It
might have been gentlemanly act for
the husband to have invited her aboard
Of his own yacht for the return trip.
but he failed to extend 1t, and neither
did he wait for the burial ceremonies
of the man who had fallen by his hand.
He made his way back home and upon
his arrival gave notice of his intention
to secure divorce and related without
exultation or extravaganza the fate of
the man who had wronged him. 1t
was what the clubs announced as "a
pretty little affair all around" and what
Lord Tomtoddy remarked anent:

When Herrinrs Were Plenty

In former days behring's were so
abundant In Newfoundland waters that
the most wanton slaughter Of them
was permitted without any restriction
whatever. Seines were allowed to re-
tain 1000 or 1000 barrels of the fish
until they perished, and then the net
was freed. and the whole contents fell
to the bottom to pollute the ocean for
miles around. When poaching smack
was captured. the behring's 1t had on
board were all thrown into the sea. and
frequently boats when chased resorted
to the same means to get rid Of incrim-
mating evidence. The fish then fetched
only 80 cents barrel Of 500 herrings,
or ten for a cent.-Cleveland Plain

All Doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
