by Mr.. Cook from various sources, is
excellently given. Fox had wagered
something about waistcoat, which
could only be obtained in Paris; went
off to Dover by night, caught the mail
packet, posted to Paris and back
to Calais, and remembered he had
a horse racing at Newmarket. He
chartered a fishing-boat bound for
the eastern counties, just got to New
market in time for the race, took the
post back to London and stopped on
the way to dine In the middle of
the port and dice after dinner he was
caught by a special messenger who
had been tearing over half England
in search of him and reminded him
that he had to move to bring in
marriage bill in the House of Com
mons He rushed to the stables,
reached the House in time to make
a brilliant speech in reply to North
and Burke, and defeated North on a
division by single vote.

A Bad Break.

One of our contemporaries, says the
Camera, has taken special delight in
becoming critic regarding some of the
the mishaps that one will make in
speech or writing. No writer is infal-
liable. nor do we pretend to be, but
what are we to think of the expression
"One of our correspondents in -
says?" Is this infallible gentleman
running divorce MILL" or
will he claim that the hyphen
is missing letter that the
usual intelligent linotype operator
hit in mistake? We are advising
this noble editor to move from his
green house-the roof is rather at
tractive to stone throwers. Probably
we will send him a nice big rock the
next time we give him prominence.

Certain natives of British India hav-
ing applied for naturalization in Cali
fornia, it became necessary for the at
torney general to decide whether they
are white" in the meaning of the
law. After consideration, he has con-
cluded that they are not white enough
to be eligible for citizenship. This, of
course, does not apply to the color of
their skin, but to the racial stock from
which they are sprung, and is based
on the general purpose of the law to
deny rights of citizenship to all save
free white persons and those of Afri-
can birth or descent.

eoshawk,s chanoino PIumaoe.

1 know no bird which passes
through so many changes of plumage
and color of eyes as the goshawk
A young one which 1 have mounted
is about the size of small hen and
is covered with white down. His
eyes are pale blue. 1 colored the eyes
exactly from life. When fully grown
the first plumage is dark brown above
and the eyes are pale yellow. No
one would be likely to suspect this
being a goshawk who had only seen
adult birds.
Later it changes to the dark shady
blue of the adult, and the eyes, after
passing through all the intermediate
changes in color from straw yellow,
orange yellow and pink, finally as
sumo the deep rich red of the adult.
