Followed Her Vanished Nest.

This story of a thrush that missed,
and caught its train ONE from Lima
vady, in Ulster, Ireland. The bird had
built its nest under a first-class car
riage Immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution Of the summer serv-
ice Of trains caused trouble. The car
riage left Londonderry in the evening
at 4:40 instead Of 4:50, and when the
mother thrush. who had presumably
been on a %foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no.
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master apprised
Limavady Of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
out for the bird. suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
sumed her task Of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching of
the eggs.

His Coffin Finished. He Dies,

After seeing that his coffin was
made, J. WEIGH, father of Mrs. Nelson,
died from the ravages Of cancer. He
came from Oakland last fall to live
with his daughter. Three months ago
he requested that his coffin be made,
so it might be finished before his
death.
His son-in-law and daughter were
able to postpone the unpleasant task,
but Nelson yielded to e~ntreaties of his
father-in-law ten days ago, and unwill-
ingly began the work to please the
aged sufferer, finishing it before death
came.-Fall River Mills (Cal.) Dis

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The
Hobson resolution to submit a con-
stlttional amendment for national
prohibition to the state legislatures
was defeated in the house last night,
1877 members voting for and 1S9
against It. An affirmative vote Of
two thirds was required TO adopt the
resolution.
II was at the conclusion Of one of
the most stirring contests Of recent
days In congress, and following votes
on several amendments that the final
vote was reached. Representative
Hobson had closed the general debate
participated in by all the house lead
ers. many Of whom were repeatedly
cheered by men and women in the
crowded galleries. Speaker Clark re
peatedly admonished the spectators to
maintain order.
Lack OF Two-Thirds Conceded.
Although advocates OF the Hobson
resolution freely predicted It would
receive a majority vote many of them
including Mr.. Hobson, had conceded
at the start that the resolution would
not receive the two-thirds vote neces-
sary for its adoption.
Before the final roll call. Represen-
tatlve Hobson presented an amend
ment. which was adopted. giving to
"the congress and the states concur
-ently" the power to enforce the pro-
hibition by needful legislation.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Adamson to give the states
absolute control OF prohibiting under
the proposed prohibition amendment
was voted down on a rising vte, 17s
TO 80.
Hobson Makes Dramatic Appeal.
AS vote was ordered on the reso-
luton itself. Representative Hobson
made a final dramatic move.
"Mr. Speaker" he said, Il wish to
ask whether any member OF this
house who has a financial interest In
the question now pending. who owns
stock in distilleries or breweries. who
owns a saloon or who has property
leased to liquor interests can under
the rules vote on this question:"
The speaker explained that the pre-
cedents held that II a member was
affected as one OF a class, the rule
would not prevent his voting but
that such questions were usually lefi
! to the member himself.
