Birds Nests and Poetry.

Birds nests have attracted the atten-
ton of inqusitive genius from the days
of Aristotle down to the present time.
This is not wonderful, because the
nests are invariably curious and often
beautiful. besides offering n cradle. ms
it were. for host of romantic specua-
lions and poetical theories. Imagina-
ton has taken hold of birds and their
nests with singular affection. drawing
forth meantime some beautiful leg
ends to enrich romance withal and TO
add to the sum of what is most per-
sistent in the song of mankind.
The ancients told that the halcyon,
beautiful aquatic bird. had its nest on
the seas breast, n little floating palace
around which the water was always
calm aud sweet IIalcyOn, or alcyon,
was the kngtisher it IS supposed. but
we now know every species of this
bird. and none Of them builds its nest
TO drift about on the sea. Indeed, rs
If 10 make the contrast of fact with
fancy rs great as possible. most of the
kngtlshcrs dig deep holes in the
ground for their homes.

the town in state of excitement over
the robberies. The principal ones had
taken place in the mansion of Colonel
Payne, the richest man in Ridgewood.
There had been four burglaries at the
Payne mansion. The first night silver
was taken-small pieces consisting of
spoons, forks, after dinner coffees and
knives.
The second night a small rocking
chair disappeared and several velvet
covered footstools and nice little arti-
Giles of bric+l-brac designed for Christ
mas gifts. The third night all the chill
drens Christmas toys that had been
carefully stored away in Santa Claus
cupboard by Colonel Payne and his
wife, ready for Christmas eve, disap-
peared, and the fourth night the cellar
was pillaged of its wine and fruits.

had been over the ground pretty well.

colonel. I'VE were greatly alarmed the
first night when the silver was taken,

From that night to the present this
house has been steadily guarded from

daylight. And yet we have had three
robberies during that time. 1t is the
strangest thing | ever saw, and I'd

Are they operating anywhere else

tried to steal some things out of the

A BANK STORY.
An Incident That Startled the Ola
Lady of Threadneedle street.

Some years ago the directors of the
Bank of England were startled TO re-
ceive an invitation to meet an I'M
known man in the strongroom Of the
bank at midnight. "You think you Is
all safe hand you bank his safe, but
knows better. bin hinside the
bank the last mite hand you nose
muffin about it. But am mott theaf
so hif yer will NETT NEE in the great
squar room. with all the moneys, at
twclf mite, lie explain orl to you, let
only tho~ cum down, and say muffin
to nobody" The strongroom was
guarded the next night in spite of
disposition to regard the letter as
hoax by police and-nothing happened.
The next phase of the mystery was
more astonishing than ever. A heavy
chest of papers and securities taken
from the strongroOm arrived at the
bank, with letter complaining that
the directors had set the police upon
the writer, AID that he had therefore
not appeared as he promised, but to
prove that he was neither a thief nor
a fool he sent chest of papers he had
taken from the bank. Let few gen
tlemen be alone in the room, and he
would join them at midnight said the
writer and to cut short a long and
strange chapter Of bank history, man
with a dark lantern burst into the
strongroom of the bank at midnight
after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the
lights. He was one of a strange class
of mon who gained a living by search
ing the sewers at night, and through
IN opening from a sewer he had found
his way into the richest room in the
world.-St. James Gazette.

who told him to lookintoit. Heinvcsti
gated Veins reputation and wrote To
Captain Titus, OF the New York detective
department, who sent him a letter which
gave Vein n bad record, although Titus
said that there was no criminal record
against him. This letter he showed to
Marshal Farnan.
On September 18th, he received a sum-
mons to go to Bel Air to testify for the
defense in the case of State VS. George NJ
Lyle, who had been indicted for alleged
violation of the local option law, on evil
dence of Vein and Spcrzcl. On going to
Bel Air he told Judge Walters that he
knew nothing Of Lyle and asked to be re-
lieved from tcstilying as he was busy i'll
Baltimore. This the Judge refused to do.
The Lyle case was not tried. but he was
summoned i'll the Fisher and Guy cases,
the counsel for the defense being the same
in all of the liquor cases.
On the stand in both cases he testified
that from the information he obtained
about Vein and from his personal know
ledge of Spcrzcl he had no good opinion
of either. His personal knowledge of
Sperzel was i'll regard to lattcr's conduct
on Lexington street one day when the
Captain threatened to arrest him. He
also spoke of Sperzels alleged connection
with Chinese establishments.
Regarding the warrant that wassworn
out in New York last week for Veins
arrest, and which the prosccution evident
ly regarded as trick to impair its case,
the Captain said that while i'll New York
securing evidence for his defense, Dctec-
tive Collins took him to call on Veins
wife. The latter, said Captain Pumph-
-ey, stated that her husband mad taken a
4 good deal of her money when he left

BURGLARS AGAIN VISIT ABERDEEN,

The town of Aberdeen was treated to
another excitement abclt midnight on
Tuesday 1t will be remembered that
the weather was exceedingly stormy and
the time opportune for a successful burg
larry. Fortunately in thisc the parties
were driven of, although two attempts
were made to enter buildings.
Mr. Webster Mitchell, who sleeps over
the store of Mr. T. l.. Hanway, was
awakened by some one calling out that
he wanted piece of tobacco, another
voice said that he wanted some smoking
tobacco. Mr.. Mitchell noticed the men
under the lamp post and said that one OF
them was short and stout. He did not
leave his room at the time. As well as
could be gagged, shortly after that an
effort was made to enter the dwelling
house of Mr.. Thomas Riley, who has SUI
| pervision of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road tracks between Aberdeen and Swal
Creek. Mr.. Riley was awakened by hear
ing someone at his front door. He KEEP
perfectly quiet and the noise soon ceased
He then heard a racket in the rear o
his house as if some one was trying t.
