Justice Slow in Coming.

There is now pending in the. House of Representative of the United States little bill appropriating couple of thousand dollars or so flor tue relief 'M the Methodist Episcopal Church (colore6), corner of Fifth avenue and East Second street. Rome, Ga." The claim las curious history.
 It seems that in 1864 there was church at the place mentioned which had been built entirely at their own cost by the colored people of the town, free and slave. With the lot 1t had cost them $2,5OO. When the Union army entered Rome on the march to the sea" the church, which occupied the highest point in the town, was demolished, and Notifications were erected on the site. For the property thus destroyed no compensation was then made, or has since been made. About 1867 an attempt was made through the freedmaD's bureau to se- cure relief for the congregation, but none of the funds of the bureau were available for such purposes. Now, nearly forty years after the property was taken, Congress is asked to pass the necessary appropriation, and the committee on war claims unanimously recommends the action.
 It is remarkable that property of this amount should have been in the possession of colored people and a church supported by them in South ern city so late in the progress of the civil war. It is not creditable to the United States government that no con- pensation has even been made for the destruction of the property, especially as it must be remembered that the owners were, according to the classi- fication of that day, not only loyal to the government, but probably about the only loyal residents of the town.

Old Marriage Certificates.

Theorists are to be found all over the world who advocate that no man or woman shall be allowed to marry who has not a certificate of freedom from transmissible disease. Not even the most extreme, however. would go so far as Prussian official in the town of Rappin, one of whose duties is to inspect butchers meat and another to place the official seal on marriage certificates. The Berlin LokalanZeiger states that on one occasion he used the wrong stamp and instead of sealing the nuptial contract he certified that the happy pair were free from trichino. sis. The absurd mistake was not dis covered until some days had elapsed, with the result that the high court of Berlin has had to be set in motion to rectify the error.

Birds Big Appetites.

If man could eat as much in pro- portion to his size as a sparrow is able to consume he would need whole sheep for dinner, couple of dozen fowls for breakfast, and six turkeys for his evening meal A tree sparrow has been known to eat 700 grass seeds in day. Birds can do work far harder than human beings. A pair of house-martins when nesting will feed their young on an average once in twenty seconds-that is, each bird, male and female, makes ninety journeys to and fro in an hour, or perhaps 1000 a day. It must be re- membered that on each journey the bird has the added work of catching an in- sect. Even so tiny bird as the wren has been counted to make no trips to and from Its nest within 430 minutes. and the prey it carried home consist ed of insects much larger and heavier than were caught by swallows.
