The Iaysan albatross, or white-breasted gony.
is distributed all over the island, with the pos
sible execution of the sea beach, which is espe-
ciallv popular with their brownbreasted black
footed cousins In certain places, as at the ends
of the lagoon they are or rather were. more con-
rested than in other localities. The dense colony
shown in the illustration was at the east end OF
the lagoon. To the progenitors of these birds Is
due the exceedingly valuable deposit Of bird lime
or guano the accumulation of ages, which has
been removed in years past and utilized as phos-
phate rock in chemical fertilizers
The old birds do not mind the presence of man,
often walking up TO the visitor, evidently intend
ing TO welcome him among them. Once in a
while an individual will take hold Of the visitors
finger or gently pull at his shoe strings or leggns,
but once ordinary curiosity Is satisfied and the
freedom of the place extended to the visitor they
take up their former occupation go with
their amusements in utter disregard of everything
and everybody. Friendly as they are, they Will
not allow themselves to be handled, avoiding
any attempt to touch their persons, evidently re-
senting such approaches undgnihed.
Some years ago company OF Japanese were
landed on the island to kill and cure birds for
millinery purposes. That they were rudely inter
rupted in their spoliation by the United States
revenue cutter Thetis. is truth well known. but
the result of their poaching is everywhere too
apparent.

same time; in fact, some Of them, as
the plover, the curlew and the turn
stone. do not breed on the island at
all. Nevertheless. the island was liter
ally covered from center to sea with
breeding birds, mating birds. and
young half-grown fledglings OF dozen
or more species.
With such an astonishing popula-
ton, numbering perhaps twice the in
habtants of Greater New York, it was
to be expected that q study OF the
situation would reveal method in
their distribution Generally speaking,
the various species were grouped in
more or less we'll defined colonies. AS
a rule these colonies had settled on
certain localities that seemed TO suit
their fancy or convenience. There Is
constant coming and going at Laysan,
so that the visitor arriving there at
different seasons OF the year would
find different species predominating In
the bird population. while other spe-
cies that at another season would be
equally as abundant might not be
found there at all. But visit this ISL
and or any one Of the chain when you
will, enough interesting material for a
volume on birds can be gathered in
an hour or two on shore.
One of the many curious birds Of the
island. the albatross, of which there
are two species, is OF the most general
interest. This is due in part to their
splendid size and part to their unusual
domestic habits.

SAD CULTIVATION.
Bernheimer Case Abruptly Term
mated by Death OF Litigant.

The noted Bernheifner will case
came to an abrupt and sad termi-
national least for the present
Thursday afternoon directly after
adjournment of court. Mr.. Marcus
Bernheimer. one Of the principal
contestants, walked into the wait
ing room and fell to the floor in
the presence of his two daughters.
DIR. Redus was hastily aummoned /,
but about ten minutes after he ar
rived Mr.. Bernheimer passed away.
The news of this unfortunate
change in affairs spread rapidly
and created considerable excite
ment.
The remains were taken to the
temple where they remained for
the night, but Friday morning
were removed to the Bernheimer
residence. That night the body
was taken to ST. Louis for burial
Chancellor Hicks called the cour
officials together, dismissed th'

Bayou Pierre; whence, ION Mon
day, August 22nd, I sat out on

Mississippi Territory. Bruinsburg
is a mile below the mouth of Bayou

Notwithstanding that many town
lots were purchased.
Mote. At that time there was
a much. travelled road leading from
Bruinsburg to Port Gibson, aud
thence to other settlements in the
county. A mile from Port Gibson
it diverged from the Rodney road,
turning to the right, and running
parallel with the course of Bayou
Pierre. About FIVE or six miles of
this road, leading from Port Glib
son, are still in use; but the west
ern half has long been disused and
abandoned. At that date, Bruins
burg was Port Gibson's only outlet
to the Mississippi river, and was a
receiving and forwarding point for
freights].
Setting out on his horseback
tour, Cunning says: II was ac-
companied from the judges by an
elderly Presbyterian clergyman, a
native of New England, who had
been a missionary among the
Chickasaw or Cherokee nations.

He was a man of great simplicity
of manners, and wonderfully igno-
rant of all established modes. He
had been The said the scholar of

college, been ordained, went to

was appointed by synod mis-
sionary for the propagation of the
gospel among the Indians, In which
situation, in several years, he had
raised family, and leaving his
children to possess and cultivate
lands granted him by the Indians,
he had removed with his wife and
youngest children to this territory

A BIRD's-EYE VIEW.
Claiborne and Jefferson Counties
a Century Ago.

q SShAAhJ
Fortesque Cunning, an intelligent
and cultivated Englishman, made
a journey through the central,
western and southwestern states
and territories of the Union In
tSo7-'8'o. Voyaging down the
Mississippi river, he reached the
mouth of Big Black river in June,
1908. His narrative proceeds:
"Big Black river, which is deep
but only fo-@.y yards wide at its
mouth, discharges Itself into
the Mississippi seven miles below
Point Pleasant. There are several
settlements on the banks of Big
Black for forty miles above its
mouth, and town was laid out on
It which has not succeeded, and on
account of its unhealthy situation
probably never will. The town
alluded to was doubtless ST. Al
bans, on the southern bank, in the
neighborhood of the present plan
tation of Foster & Dochterman.
Abijah Hunt had store and cot
ton gin there, and did consider
able business with the Indians and
the scattered settlers. There was
also, we believe, Methodist log
built church. Some building lots
were sold, but the enterprise did
not prosper, and St. Albans was,
before many years, abandoned and
allowed to merge into the sur
rounding wilderness.] A quarter
of a mile below Big Black ridge
of hills, called the Grand Gulph
Hills, terminates abruptly at bluff
on the left bank. At the base of
the bluff are heap of loose rocks,
near which is a quarry of close
granite. from which industrious
eastern immigrants have cut excel
lent millstones and grindstones."
[Note. There is no granite in
this county, nor indeed ir the en-.
tire state. The "close granite
was probably a very dense, hard
sandstone
'In the eight miles between the
Grand Gulph and Bayou Pierre
there are several settlements on th'
right, and but three or four on th'
left bank of the mississippi river
the most conspicuous of which i
that of Major Davenport, begai
about year ago.
Cunning ascended Bayou Pierr,
a quarter of mile, tying his boa
to a willow. He says that he fount

Faithful Fido
Fails to Chase
Mrs. Callaghan

Any ambitious dog that starts out
to make Mrs. P. O. Callaghan run
has some job on his hands.
Faithful Fido down on Mr. Cal
laghan's farm near Wanda found
this out last week. Mrs. Callaghan
called at the farm to make reserya-
ton for plums. The renters were
away from home but the children
were home.
They told Mrs. Callaghan to hit
the grit" or the dog would get busy.
She refused and sat down to await
the return of the renters. Then
the merry hearted children tried to
set the dog on her. Fido did con-
siderable growing and swapping,
but didn't lay violent teeth upon
her.
After a long willie Mr.. Callaghan
strolled up to the house and found
his wife marooned on the porch and
waiting. The children then tried to
set the dog on him but he converted
a maple bough into a shillalah and
the dog is now sorry he tried to
mind the kids.

of that kind of dope and try and fig.
ure out how even a big man like E.
Bailey is going to rise to the occasion
and get the better of those21 bushels.
Of course he'll sell all he can but
what will he do with the fifteen or
sixteen bushels that will be left after
the residents of Redwood county
have eaten themselves black in the
face on green peppers?
To think that you were ordering
pippins, large. mellow apples, and
then be handed green peppers is
something to feel at least slightly
shocked about. That's what E.
Bailey had dealt out to him.
His eternal future depends upon
his success in getting rid of aforesaid
peppers.
