An observer finds that some birds blush. He writes! we have a very fine specimen of the blue and yell low macaw which displays this trait not often, for he is remarkably good tempered-and the blush is an invari- able sign of anger; so much so, that we warn all friends that while his cheeks remain white all attacks are feigned and in play and can be disregarded, yet if the danger signal to look out and keep out of reach. |" The owner of blue and orange macaw says that it's white, parchment-like face becomes bright pink, especially above the peak, whenever 1t is angry or excited

whIeh she threw about her. Then shS took look st her horses, like the southern woman she was. There Were the carriage ge-horses-strong, sturdy, little overfed, turning calm, questioning eyes upon her. There was her aunt's Black Nan, once the fastest horse in all the country round, but grown too old. There was her own Beetle, sleek coated, fiery eyed, long limbed, turning a knowing gaze upon her. Upon the nails close to hand were neatly placed his ac- coutrements.
 She took down the saddle and bridle and the other paraphernalia. No one knew better than Jane how to saddle a horse, nor would it be the first time she had ridden sideways on a mans saddle. It was easy to summon back tom-hoy tricks.
 The wind shook the stable, rattled the windows, knocked impatiently at the closed half of the door, f1uttered the straw in the forward stalls, flick cred the lanterns light. Out into the wind and sputtering rain went Jane and the horse. She had led him bnIOuSu LuS SGdplS-y yaICs out burOuSh the carelessly open gate. It was good weather to be in the house, not weather to tempt idle loungers out doors.
 It was most unseemly thing for a young woman, unattended, to dash up at half-after twelve o'clock at night to sentry guarding the out post of & camp, and demand to be taken to his commanding general; or, if not to Gen. Lafayette himself, then to Col. Joce1yn, of the Continen- tai forces. When at last she was face to face with Col. Jocelyn, he listened gravely to what she had to say and hastened to headquarters. The sleep ing camp was hurried into wakeful- ness. Her tale was believed. 1
 Col. Jocelyn urged her to allow him to send an escort back with her, but Jane declined. Yet the riding back was harder than the coming. She and Beetle had no enthusiasm to sus-

 ""That would be divulging my in structions before have executed them. I cannot say more about this now," he replied.
 ''You can further say" continued the general, ''that all Colombia is af1re with zeal for the building of the canal by the United States and that the un- fortunate political troubles which were the sole cause of the treaty's death be- fore the Colombian congress have en- tirely disappeared. We want the canal, and have come to Washington to see what the people of the United States are prepared to accept. I come with instructions from the president of Co., lombda direct. My mission in no way interferes with the prerogatives of Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, for whom both ny government and myself personally have the greatest respect.

CHAPTER Xv,
A JOURNEY.

l year had passed, and had brought 10 Jane much sadness, for her father's death had occurred in the spring.
 Her stepmother, worn out by nurs- ing MT. Ellery through his long ill- ness and by the later cares of the estate, had broken down, and was only just recovering from a fever when word came that Edward had been severely wounded in slzirmish with Lafayette's army in Virginia and YVES lying, it was feared at the point of death in Portsmouth. It was Bessemer who wrote, and he urged that Jane and her stepmother set out at once for the young soldiers bed side. It was impossible for Mrs. Ellery to go, but Jane prepared inn mediately for the journey, upon which her aunt determined to accompany her.
 Soon after they entered Virginia they learned that the British forces had abandoned Portsmouth and pro- ceeded to Yorktown; hence it was towards the latter place they directed their course; but, carried out of their correct route, they found themselves in the midst of Gen. Lafayette's army This might have been some what embarrassing had not colonel of one of the Continental regiments proved a cousin of Mrs. Ellery's and vouched for that lady's loyalty and Miss Ellery's discretion. It was well towards the afternoon before they could set out again upon their jour

 tain them. The. horses head was not turned homeward; her mission was accomplished, and the reaction had set in. What would Edward, what would Bessemer, say if they knew what she had done? They would look upon her as 8 traitor.
 Yet, did she regret what she had done? From her aunt's standpoint, from the standpoint of any of her kinspeople but Edward, had she not the right to rejoice if she had indeed saved the American army? She re- called Col. Jocelyn's words, that there was no calculating the service she had rendered her country in saving the army from such an attack. Her coun- try? Yes, it was her country.
 Off in the distance panther had set up an insidtous, persistent cry. For awhile 1t was the only sound which broke through the pouring rain and sobbing wind; but presently there came another sound, a heavy sound that shook the ground. The British were approaching. She drew in among some trees and, dismount- ing, laid her hand upon Beetles brf- dle. The sound came closer. The front ranks were up to her now. There was c1andng of spurs; the creal1ing of damp saddles; & low spoken word of caution or command. They were passing. And still they came, on and on and on; until at length the rear-guard had gone by, the last straggler had disappeared. Then she mounted again her clumsy mans saddle.

The Colombian gov ernment can put down the revolution without violating letter of the treaty of 1S46-I refer to the treaty as inter preted and adhered to and not to the treaty as interpreted in these later days.

 A report from Panama says the newspapers of the isthmus are asking the government of the republic of Pan- anna to occupy and establish sover- eighty over the islands of San Andres, Providence and Albuquerque, as well as other smaller islands in the Carib- bean sea in longitude S4 degrees, as the territorial limits of the new republic lie between longitude 79 degrees and 84 degrees.
 The newspapers propose that the government shall negotiate for the transfer of the islands to the United States for use as a coaling station. A dispatch from Colon says the steamer Versailles has arrived there from Cartagena. She reports that the Cartagena authorities would not allow her to clear for Colon or to take on board passengers, freight or mail for that port She was furnished, how ever. with clearance papers for Port !
