STRANGE Species of Ostrich.

In New Zealand is found the kiwi, a
strange bird of the ostrich fan lily. Os-
triches have two toes. but ,the extinct
moas had three toes; so also have the
existing emus, cassOwaries. and rheas,
or South American ostriches. The
kiwi, however. differs from the other
Further, the kiwi cannot be said to be
quite ostrichike, for in size it is not
larger than an ordinary barnyard fowl.
1t has a small head. with large and
muscular neck and long, slender bill,
with the distinguishing feature that the
nostrils are placed very close to its tip.
The legs are short but the muscles on
the thighs are well developed and the
feet are strong and powerful and pro-
vided with sharp claws. 1t is a bird
devoid of any external trace of wings,
and there is no trace of tail visible,
while it is covered with long. narrow
hairlike feathers. and on the fore part
of the head and sides Of the face are
struggling hairlike feelers

County Seeded from State.

the unique distinction Of being the
only county that ever undertook to Sc
cede from the state to which ii be.
longed. A great many people have
doubtless forgotten that the people of
Tennessee voted twice on the PROPOSE
lion to secede from the Union. Al the
first election in February there was
an enormous majority 100000
against disunion. A few months lat
er. when the attack on Fort Sumter
stirred The passions Of men, another
vote was had and the earlier verdict
was reversed by about the same deci-
sive figures.
But in Franklin county. where
states rights and secession claimed
the allegiance of the entire population,
there was such intense disgust over
the result of the first election, that, led
by the Hon. Pete Turney, afterward
supreme court judge and twice gov
ernor, the citizens held mass meet
ing and solemnly passed an ordinance
of secession from Tennessee. or
course, when the state reconsidered in
June Franklin county was Modified
