The Ordinance of Secession.

A special to the New York Times
from Belvidere, N. j., gives an account
of the discovery by Mrs John Robin
son, Of that place of what she sup
poses to be the original ordinance of
secession Of South Carolina. Mrs.
Robinson is laboring under the same
misapprehension that many others
have labored under before She does
not possess the original ordinance of
secession. That sacred document is
carefully preserved in the Office of the
secretary of state at Columbus, though
considerably disfigured through an at
tempt of an uniformed scribe to re-
trace the fast fading signatures a few
years ago. What Mrs. Robinson pos
sesses is a well-executed facsimile lith-
ographed at the time of the passage
OF the ordinance. and if she will care
fully examine the relic by which she
evidently sets great store she will see
the photographers imprimatur thereon.
Each member of the convention re-
ceived one of these Autographed copies,
and at least dozen of them may be
found in Charleston to-day.-Charles-
ton News and Courier.

SOME BIRDS OF HAWAII.
California Quail, English Starlings
and Monaghan Pheasants
Abound.

From some Of the open pastures rises
the song of the skylark, which was i'm
ported from New Zealand. The voice of
the Chinese turtle dove-the mourning
dove, it is called-is heard in the land
quite near to the valley homes; also the
upland whir of the Monaghan and Japan
csc pheasant.
Grouse and quail-the California val
ley Quail-were there until lately, but the
latter have now betaken themselves to
the heights of 5000 to 1000 feet, whittier
the marauding mongoose cannot follow
them.
l asked young niece who lately left
Honolulu, says a writer in Blackwood's,
what birds visited their grounds three
miles up the valley road, and she tells
me Java sparrows, ricebirds and those
squawking mynahs. The last eat up all
the young figs and grapes, unless we
throw the tennis nets over them.
That watching of birds which is es-
sential to knowledge of their life his
tory has, indeed, been impossible to most
visitors to Hawaii. And now that an
nexation is giving an impetus to the
development of the'country's resources,
the inevitable destruction of it's forests,
even if the birds themselves do not per-
1sh with the trees that sheltered and fed
them, is driving them up to still more
inaccessible heights and wooded depths
between the sharp volcanic peaks, which
Will battle the hardest climber.

WAS FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH
Everybody Thought the Texan
Would FUNK, But He Proved
Himself a Hero.

You would hardly believe it." said
Gel. James Thornton. of Manassas. to
Washington Star reporter, that five
miles from that town on the top of
Bull Run mountain, there exist peo-
pie who have never visited the town
in which l live The residents of Bull
Run mountain are a separate and dis
tinct type by reason of their long
residence in that vicinity from the peo-
pie who dwell on the plains below, as
if they originally belonged to a sep
arate tribe or race. The isolation that
existed many years before the war,
and which has continued since its con-
clusion, has grown a distinct type, and
this social and physical condition of
things is duplicated in all of the noun
famous districts of Virginia. These peo-

pie, although isolated, are a religious,
and God-fearing people, and while they
have not always had the advantages of
common schools, and some of them at
times given to drinking too much
liquor, they make fairly good citizens,
and settle their feuds among them
selves without giving the county au-
'thorities very much trouble One pc
culiarity about them is that they are
jealous of strangers, and do not take
to them as readily as do the people of
the plains.
"a short distance west of Bull Run

pie quite as peculiar. They are known
as Texans, and the district in which
they reside is known as Free State

law unto themselves They marry
and are given in marriage, but it is a
very rare thing that they engage in
matrimony with any persons outside
of their own boundaries One would
not look for heroes in this class of
people, but 1 recollect that at the battle
of Malvern Hill a Texan in my COM
pany was stricken down and mortally
wounded by a shell. The battery to
which I belonged had been very
roughly handled by federal artillery
and we were soon without horses and
very much depleted in the matter of
men to man the guns. The poor fell
low was lying on his back gasping for
breath, while the blood was pouring n
torrents from his side, and as the cap
tain Of the company passed along the
line he said, captain, 1 am sorry that
l cannot be of any use to you to-day,
but perhaps I can hold a horse and
as it was quite necessary that the able
men should be detailed elsewhere he
gave him the reins of two artillery
horses to hold, and then went about
his business
when the battle was ended the cap
tain of the company returned to the
wounded Texan and found him cold
in death, but his hands were still
grasping the reins of the horses, and
have often said that it was the duty
of our company to erect a monument
to the memory of this faithful man,
and l am going to start subscription
for that purpose just as soon as my
business will permit

SPANISH IDEA OF PLEASURE,
Old Government Used to Decapitate
Malefactors Amid Much
Festivity.

The Luneta, in Manila, under the
Spanish regime might well have laid
claim TO being one of the queerest cor
ners Of the globe, says the New York
Herald.
1t was the custom Of the old gov
eminent to execute Filipino malefac-
tors here, and such events were charac-
terized by much ice cream and many
brass bands.
The announcement would be made
that five or six natives would be exc
cuted for various offences. The is
land aristocracy would drive from all
quarters to witness the sport"
The band would strike up At the
end OF the overture a whisper would
dart through the lines of carriages.
There would be dead silence. Then
Q mysterious melancholy "chump"
would announce that one Filipino
malefactor had parted company with
his head.
Once more the bray of the brass
band. Ice cream and other refresh
ments would be handed around. The
latest scandal in official life would be
discussed.
Then pause-tense anxiety for a
moment-and another Filipino would
go in search of his head. The bull
fight is certainly tame compared with
the sport of chopping off heads.

THE PHILIPPINE CLIMATE.
Not So Bad as Many Prejudiced Per
ssns Have Stated in I'm
truthful Accounts.

When the treaty with Spain by which
we acquired the Philippines was under
debate in 1893 ex-United States Senator
Edmunds In public speech affirmed that
the climate of those islands was SO fata:
to q white man that no American coult
expect to live there and bring up fam.
lily. At that time, says the Portland Or
gonian, the Orgopian quoted the fac
that Englishmen had lived many year,
in worse climate, that of tropica
India; that Macaulay was able to dc
hard legal work even in Calcutta when
the mercury stood at sc degrees above
zero; that Thackeray was born in India;
where his parents had lived for many
years, and that Lord Roberts had cam
paigned over 40 years in India. Secre-
tary of War Taft is over six feet and
weighs 800 pounds-not very good sub
ject to endure a tropical climate-and
yet he returned from the Philippines in
perfect health. and he suggests that the
newspapers can help the American
government by denying the lies circu-
lated about the terrible climate there"
OF course, no man of common sense fails
to adjust himself and his habits to his
environment. No man wears the same
clothing in winter or summer in west
ern Oregon that he would wear in west
ern Massachusetts,. There are vast areas
of country in the United States where no
white man can live long because of ma
laria. Neither the bottom lands of the
Mississippi nor the swamps of South
Carolina, where negroes can live, are
healthful for white man. There are,
doubtless, such lands in Cuba, in Porto
Rico, in Africa. in India and in the Phil
1ppines; but it is not necessary that
white men should pick out patch of
malarial country for homestead.
