Mr.. Talmage, in his discourse yesterday morning,
drew some very timely lessons from the impending
autumnal fight of the birds from the North to the
warmer cmes Of the South. His text was from
Jeremiah, viii, 1.-THE stork in the heaven
knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and
the crane and the swallow observe the time Of
their coming; but My people know not the judg-
ment OF the Lord" He said Il propose carrying
out the idea OF the text to show that the birds OF
the air have more sagacity than men, and begin
BY saying that they mingle music with their work.

Sermon by the Rev. Father Flynn-Thc


Sorrows OF Mnry-Her Patience and

The Washington correspondent of the
New York San draws the following pen
portrait of cold Mobilier:"


Ames is the most cheerful looking per-
son of the whole sorry lot. l see the
SIN calls him that "great and good
man. Great he certainly is. He is
the most ponderous member of either
House. He stands about six feet three
inches, and weighs well on toward 300.
He has immense arms and feet, and his
long jaws and stupendous nose constitute
by far the greater part of his person
above the broad, round, STOPPING shoul-
ders. He is pointed out a hundred times
from the galleries every day as Old Mo-
bilier. 1t was an amusing spectacle to
see him recently with his great feet rest
ing on the arms of a neighboring chair,
looking over, in his heavy way, the
famous memoranda" wherewith he was
going to corner and crush those who had
taken his stock and moneys, and then
repudiated them while in remote cor
ners of the hall some of his victims
could be seen nervously watching his
aged eye and bobbing about like birds
under the charms of a serpent.

Although the eyes of some animals
are incapable of motion-as the fly, the
beetle, and several other insects-yet the
Creator has shown His wisdom and
goodness in furnishing their eyes with
thousands of little globules, and by
placing their eyes more in front of their
head, so that these little insects can see
almost all around them without turning
their heads. A gentleman who has ex-
amined the eyes of fly says that the
two eyes of common one are composed
of 5000 little globes, through every one
of which it is capable of forming an i'm
age of an object. Having prepared the
eye of a fly for the purpose, he placed it
before his microscope, and then looked
through both in the manner of tele-
scope, at a steeple which was 800 feet
high and $50 feet distant, and he said he
could plainly see through every little
hemisphere, the whole steeple inverted
or turned upside down.

Many of the best Southern men in the
Southern States, says the New Orleans
Picayunc, are Northern men-men born
in New England, in Massachusetts.


Many Northern men have come to the
South, before and since the war, to do
business and to find homes. And those
who come with such views, respectable
and well-behaved, will seldom fail to be
appreciated, and to receive the welcome
and the position to which they are en-
titled. The people of the South are de-
sirous of having as many settlers as pos
sible of this description. Men of this
character are not carpet-baggers, how
ever small their luggage or empty their
purses. They are desirable element.


The term carpet-bagger is applicable
to the needy demagogue whose stock in
trade consists of the number of colored
voters he can persuade that the Southern
white men are their relentless enemies
and oppressors, and whose political
status and personal fortunes depend
upon his success in banding them upon
the basis of injurious falsehoods, to use
for his own official honor, profit and
plunder, under the semblance OF legal
forms and backed by the bayonets OF the
United States. These birds of passage
we have no use for.

A letter writer says: 9Talking
with a hotel keeper the other
day, / remarked that in a large
city like this he must lose a
good deal by transient customers
who would go away and forget
to pay their bills. ooh, no; I
never lose much by folks of
that sort. I have made it rule
in my house, whenever a man
wants a room, and has no bag
gage, to demand pay in advance,
as is usual. If he manifests no
objection, and puts his hand in
to his pocket for the money l tell
him it is all right, he can pay
just as well when he goes away.
That kind of a man always pay.
But there is another sort of fell
low who when informed of the
rule, pretends to be very indig-
nant, insisting that he is a gen
teman, by, and is not in the
habit of having his name ques-
toned or his honesty doubted.
In such a case I invariably insist
on the production of the funds,
for I know if I don't get them
then I should never get them in
the world. Men who talk about
their honor, and assume to be in
suited when requested to pay,

An occupationpursuedin in var
ious parts of Texas, and peculi-
ar to that State, is the business
generally known as seattle skin
ming" A few daring fellows
will band together and scour the
country at all hours for the pur-
pose of "skinning" any luckless
steer that may be found out Of


sight Of his owner. They drive
them off sometimes in the brush
or a ravine, shoot them down,
jerk their hides-off, and leave
the carcasses for the wolves and
buzzards. This has become a
real science in Texas, and many
are making money at the bust
ness. The hide of a good steer
will bring Sc, and as it is all clear
money it is bound to pay. Eff
forts are being constantly made
to catch these "skinnists," but
they are so sharp, they always

of the cattle trade with which

Humphrey Jewell, who liveG


near Kingston, New York, was a


very eccentric man all his life, and
he died month ago at the age oil
sixty years. He left behind him
the most eccentric act of his life In
the shape Of a will which he exc.
cuted the day before his death.
He was formerly a New York as
semblyman, was a strict church
member, had about $4,000 worth
Of property, and cherished a fsmi-
Iy feud which was more dear to
him than legislative honors,
church, money or family. While
he was rigidly religious, be was
also good hater, and the source of
his most cherished hate was in re-
ligious matters. He was president
OF a Church Consistory, and presi


ded at the disciplining of his sons
wife's father, who was turned out
of the fold of the faithful during
his administration. The man sub
sequently got back into the church,
and this 30 incensed the good
Humphrey Jewell that it became
his religious duty to hate his ene-
my till his own death, and after,
in the provisions of his will.


For instance, be leaves his son
and son-in. law of his pet enemy
the income Of 5000, upon condi.
tion that said son will Lever live
in the same county with his wife's
father: otherwise he becomes dis
Inherited. He left bis widow a
pittance, and the remainder Of bis
estate to various charities. The
son and father-in- law first thought
Of carrying out the provisions Of
the will in which they were inter
ested by building a house across
a eounty line-the son TO occupy
one end Of the house, aud the
faiher-in-law the other. This
would save the Inheritance, and
still make them near neighbors, in
two counties. The second thought
induced them to endeavor TO st t
aside the will on the ground that
the testator was not of sound mind
when he made it. They could
not very well dispute the strength
of his memory in the face Of the
family feud. The case is now be-
fore the Courts in Kingston.

with her chickens, but never at-

company of another hen, who in

the hen and chickens and the
house door, and marched like a
faithful sentinel back and forth in
the space. If the cat made her
appearance she would fly at her

vigor that the cat was glad to run.
Julia never got another of those
chickens. Now, how did this
