Deputy Secre tarv of the Commonwealth Tilden, Chief Clerk Snyder and several other clerks ere busy to-day in handling nomination papers of the several political parties. J ere A. Bex, one of the secretaries of the Republican State Committee, this morning filed certificates of several Senatorial and Judicial nominations from districts in which there had been animated and pro tracted contests. At midnight the Republicans had tiled all their nomination papers except from the Twentieth Congressional district, com pose! of Bedford, Somerset, 131air and Cambria counties. The papers from the Philadelphia County Democracy, nominatins Congressman Mc Aleer lor a second term, were presented. The regular nomination papers were filed on Thursday last, while the certificate giv ing evidence of tbe tact that he had been nominated by the Republicans of his dis trict was filed on Saturday. The papers of J. iforman Martin, of New Castle, who was recently appointed As sociate Judge of the Butler-Lawrence dis trict by Governor Pattison, were filed dur ing the afternoon by "Wick "W. Wood, city editor of the Courant, Xew Castle. John H. Fow left with Deputy Secretary Tilden his nomination paper", with the statement: "I have called here under the instructions of my counsel, Judge Brewster, to file with you my nomination certificate. You will perceive it is in exact accordance with the law regulating the same, properly signed and sworn to, but it does not have on the back certificates of any county or city chairman. My counsel is of the opinion "that the law does not re quire such a certificate." Mr. Tildea received the certificate, and after making some jocular reference to Mr. Fow's contest in the Seventeenth district, marked it "filed." TWO CHANGES TO MKE the riakrr Ballot Attorney General Hens! GrantsThit JMnch to the Kickers Russell Harrison Interviewed While at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sept 12 Special ttorney General Hensel has decided upon o modifications of the Baker ballot, and ill give out an official announcement in a w days. It is understood that the group ature, as advocated by Chairman Reeder, nd the sliding scale plan touching the X'emoeratic column, as advocated by Chair man Wright, comprise the changes to be made. A heavy black line will separate the Repjblican from the Democratic column, and the latter begins as inch down lrom the Republican list "There is little advantage to our voters in such an arrangement," said Chairman Wright, to-day, in explanation of his posi tion. "By the present plan it is the most natural thing in the world for voters to mark their preference at the head instead of in the square at the end ot the name, and there is less likelihood of mistakes occur ring br dropping the list clown from the present g'nen or even line." "What will the Attorney General do on this ballot question?" was the query to General Iteerier. "He is entitled to make his own an nouncement, and I shall not anticipate his decision. We had a conlerence, and I am a iolating no agreement in saying that Mr. Heusel sees the necessity of some modifica tions in the form, and will be likely to make them known officiallv in a few daVs." The executive cottage at Cape May Point closed to-day for the season, when Russell B. Harrison and family came on to this city and leturned t Washington. They have been the sole occupants of the' cottaie since the first week in June, President Har rison passing but one Sunday there this summer. At the time of the "President's visit Private Secretary Halford accom panied him. Russell Harrison is looking well. He will leave Washington to-morrow for New York, where he proposes to give all at tention possible to the campaign. "Chair man Carter has the sitnation well in hand," raid Mr. Harrison, to-day. "The campaign is more advanced and much more encouraging than this month four years ago and the reports tell a most encouraging story of the work being done. There is nothing in the statements about dissensions at headquarters nothing whatever. If there was any lack of harmony I would know something about it, don't you think?" Russell B. has been Chairman Carter's confidential adviser right alonir and repre sents the President direct 'He did not deem it advisable to refer to the Vermont election in fact, he was quite silent about it when spoken to. COULDN'T MAKE A DECISION. Twentieth District Conferees TJnxb'e to J-'omlom- a Canrtl late In Tim-. Bkdfokd, Sept 12. Special After several ballots to-day bv the Twentieth Dis trict Conferees, in which Blair and Cambria voted ior D. J. Neff, and Bedford and Som erset for W. C. Louder, Blair and Cambria to-day returned to Hicks. Then Bedlord and Somerset voted for John Cessna, and here Senator Quay's haud can be seen. Cessna is a candidate for the Legislature in the interest of John Dal zell for the United States Senate. If Cessna can be nominated he will with draw from the ticket for the Legislature, and the County Committee which is com posed of Quav's friends, will nominate an out and out Quay man. Scull's aud Ashcom's .conferees have been voting for Cessna since late this after noon, while Cambria and Blair have been alternating from Hicks to Throp. In case of a nomination being made, which no person thinks probable, a special train has been ready to start at onco for Harrisbure. Both Scull and Ashcom have done everything in their power to effect a nomination. Scull and Hicks are of the opinion that the time has past for filing the certifi cate, and the nomination at this stage is not worth much. At 10 o'clock to-night the vote stood Cessna 6, Hicks G. A Compromise at Oetryubnrjj. Gettysburg, Sept 12.

Worman, of the Democratic, Society of Pennsylvania, has issued a circular request ing all Democratic clubs in the State to for ward at once a list of names of the deputies elected to attend the general assembly to be held at Scran ton September 20. Judging from the dally mail received, Secretary Worman says the attendance will be very large. CHINESE WILL RESIST. The Six Companies of San Francisco Em ploy Counsel to Test the Validity of the Exclusion Act They Command Their Countrymen Not to Register. San- Francisco, Sept. 11. The con solidated Benevolent Association of the Six Companies, a powerful Chinese organ ization which comprises all the wealthy Chinese merchants of the country, and which, together with the Chinese con sular officers, regulates affairs of the Chinese in this country, has issued a proclamation from headquarters in this city forbidding Chinese in the United States to comply with the terms of the Geary bill, requiring them to regis ter and have themselves identified by two white witnesses and be photographed be fore April, 1893. The proclamation states that the masters of the Six Companies,after a careful investigation, have found that the registration law is objectionable and detri mental to their interests. It continues: Onr countrymen must live in these United States without being rexiteied. If ono should he registered on his own account he must not come to us in case he gets into trouble in this country. The Six Companies will pay no attention to him if he does. When a man does register he loses respecta bility In the eyes of his countrymen. This applies to Chinamen livins in any part of the country, and in small towns as well as large cities. If by refusing to register a man is arresied, imprisoned or punished, he can depend on the Six Companies for relief. The proclamation states that Chinese will be required to organize and subscribe money tor tlit employment of lecal aid, and, it necessary, enlist the services of the Chinese Ambassadors to fight against .his alleged injustice. The lawyers have been engaged here by the Six Companies. Each Chinese resident of the United States is required to pav SI to the Six Companies for expense of a suit to test the legality of the registration law, and this money must be paid beiore the Chinese September. The China man who does not pay will be prevented from returning to his own country when he applies to the Six Companies for his pass. The proclamation concludes by say ing the United States does not treat Chi nese right because it compels no other na tion to do such things, and no other nation in the irorld treats the Chinese as the United States does. Collector Qninn was seen regarding the action of the Six Companies, and said: The Chinese have so far neglected to reg ister, bnt I do not believe they will abso lutely lef use to do so. We had eight men who had shipped as mess boys on one of the United States crulsois come around to reg ister, and after explaining tbe matter they went to get their pictures taken. It Is too early to say what we propose doing In the matter, but w e will get up a good test case when tho time conies. Attorney Riordan. who has been enrased by the Six Companies, asserts that the law is clearly unconstitutional. WILL BE 1MPEESSIVE. Deulcatorv Servloes at Ilia Fair Bnlldings to Be Unique and Interesting. George V. Massey, of Dover, Del., a prominent member of the National Com mission of the Columbian Exposition and chief among the Council of Administration recently formed, was a passenger on the limited last evening on his way to Chicago. He had a good deal to say regard ing the coming dedicatory services oi the great Fair buildings. Everything will be in readiness without a doubt and there is no fear of a hitch of any charac ter. All departments that are to be used on the occasion will be perfected by the end of the present month. Mr. Massey said the 52.500,000 lately granted would be of immense service to the commission for building purposes, but of course there would be some minor demands made on Congress for the committee's workT. "The zoological and floricultural exhibitions will surpass the world in grandeur," said the gentle man irom Delaware, "and I wonder if Eden could be fairer than what the visitors to Chicago in '93 will witness among the flow eis and plants of America and its foreign competitors." The dedicatory services, Mr. Massey said, would be preceded by several street pageauts, both civic and military. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. The Coopers' International Union is in session in St Louis.

The Frankine Privilege and CMef Clerk Kerr's Hustling ALL THAT KEPT THINGS GOING AWHILE t FROM A STAFP CORRBSPOItDKUT. Washington, Sept 12. The comings and goings between the headquarters of the Democratic Congressional Committee in this city and the headquarters of the Na tional Committee at New York are unre mitting, andt it is. possible that the inside view of. things is at times more easily at tainable here than in the metropolis. By one of the local sages who has just re turned from a visit to the national bead quarters it is learned that the hasty visit of Cleveland to New York, the other day, was to correct an Impression that he bad sur rendered everything to Tammany. It is asserted that some of his friends had been promising for him, without his knowledge, a concession of every demand that Tam many could think of, and something more, and that things got so badly mixed it be came imperative the ex-President should come on himself and have a personal con versation with the sachems and reach a clear understanding of what could be and what could not be done. Money Now Fairly Raining In. The courier who brings this news informs the correspondent of The Dispatch that all tbe points of dispute are now satis factorily settled, and the money is beginning to rain down on the committee. Previous to Saturday the National Committee was sadly lacking in the matter of funds. In fact, there was very little xnoner except that which was furnished by ex-Secretary Whitney and his personal friends. The organizations in New York and individuals and organizations all over the country have been Blow to respond to requests for cash so long as it seemed apparent that the factional situation in the Empire State was ominons of defeat unless a composition of thequarrel could be effected. Since the meeting, last week, of Mr. Cleveland and the Tammany braves, and the announcement that Senator Hill will speak for the party during the campaign, this informant asserts a revolution of feel ing has occurred, the condition of the treas ury at headquarters is improved, and everything is now moving with a vim that did not seem possible a week ago. At tbe beginning ot the week there was nothing promised but silver-tongued orators, but now the stuff was pouring in that could give the orators long odds and show, more results than they. Clerk Kerr Obliged to Ilu.tlr. If the condition of the treasury at the headquarters in New York was discourag ing it certainly could not be more so than that of the Congressional Committee in this city. At times the latter has been without sufficient funds to pay the postage on the unfrankable documents it wished to send out and the local people cot tired putting up the money and giving their time lor little or nothing as well. One day last week, when the cash drawer was entirely cleaned out to the last penny, Chief Clerk Kerr, of tbe House, ex-Chairman of the Pennsylvania State Committee, was so ex ercised over the matter that he planked down J200 of his own money, and then went out among his little army of employes of the House, and in an hour or two came back with v-SOO to add to his own contribution, and this $500 seemed a munificent sum to the poverty-stricken laborers at headquar ters. Tbe complaint is loud and bitter among the rank and file of the workers of the party that the moneyed men will not put up. They say that while tbe Republicans can get all they want for the asking, the Dem ocrats have to beg tor all they get, and get mighty little for the begging, If it were not lor that beautiful imposition upon the country known as the franking privilege the Congressional Committee could as well shut up shop. -Never did this privilege serve so nicely as in the current campaign. Each member of Congress is entitled to all the envelopes he wants for franking, and in this instance he wants all that the com mittee pleases to order and stamp with his name. Thing Not Like They Used to Be. There was a time when a member was compelled to write his name with his own hand in franking a letter or a document, but now it is only necessary for the clerks of the committee to secure the envelopes and use the rubber stamps which imprints on the envelopes a lac-simile of tbe signa ture of the member. When it is remem bered that the Democrats have well on toward 300 members of the House, and nearly half of the Senate, it will be easy to imagine the remarkable collection of curious signatures in rubber that might be seen ranged on the private shelves of the Demo cratic Congressional Committee. No wonder one ot the workers ot that body explained, in answer to a question, that the literature of the party was all being sent out from Washington, this year, on account of the "superior facilities for mailing." Of course the Republicans are also mak ing use of the frank for all it is worth. The Republican gamut of fac similes is not so complicated, but it is a distinguished gamut, and each signature is used oftener aud gets just so much more advertising than it would if tbe number were equal to that of the Democrats. Any speech, any bill, any report of a committee, anything which is printed by the Government, in fact, is considered frankable, and it is needless to say that the great bulk of the number mailed is of Government printing. Sideshows Also Beating the Drams. The silver men are the only-people who appear to indulge extensively in the luxury ot sending out a mass of matter that must be paid for. Day after day wagons of the express office are weighted down with doc uments of the National Committee of the free silver crowd, who have elegant and spacious headquatters here, and, regardless of former party affiliation, are carrying on a campaign of education on their account, and whether it helps or hurts the party to which they have belonged, they do not ap pear to care a fig. Add to this lavish outpour of literature of the old parties and of the silver people the mountain of matter being distributed by the People's party, and one can imagine faintly the intensity of the work that is be ing done to convince the yoters of the country that they don't know anything about it, and that if they read the many multiplied and contradictory arguments of each one of the parties suing for favor they will know less. Secretary Tracy and His Labors. Secretary Traoy, of the Department of the Navy, has been a very busy man since his return from his summer cruise, and not a little of his business has been that in volved in looking up all the facts which he proposes to array in answer to the charges that have been made against the department in regard to armor plate tests, the change from deflecting' to vertical turrets, changes in the form of the plates of the "belt armor," etc. The Secretary contemplates making a statement so complete that the assailants of the de partment will have no chance to come back at him with accusations of evasion or equiv ocation. Consequently, he will be in no haste to make up his case, and there are a thousand and one phases of the matter which must be got into shape. He also, as well as Commodore Folger, would like to know the source of the 'inspiration of the attacks. It may he stated in this connection that the authorities of tbe department are much pleased with recent utterances of the Engi- the development of the machinery of attack and resistance for use in war, which speaks enthusiastically of the results of the test of the armor plato treated by the Harvey pro cess, and also compliments Commodore Eolger for "the liberal policy by which we are allowed to learn the valuable results ob tained by trials which are pioneering us in the important investigation of the possibili ties of keeping out the best projectiles by armor with a face capable of breaking them up." Tli Superiority of American Plates. In these and other words as forcible Prof. Orde Brown, lecturer at Woolwich arsenal, one of the most notable authorities in the world on matters pertaining to guns, pro jectiles and resistants, admits the superi ority of the plates developed in America, the tests of which the late critics of tbe de partment say were not what they were re presented to be through the partiality of Commodore Folger for the Harvey process. Secretary Foster was at his desk once more in the Treasury Department to-day so immersed in fever literature and so worked up on account of the protest against the use ot Sandy Hook and Fire Island as an autumn resort for the cholera that he could hardlv give a thought to anything else. He had had the matter of the Allegheny postoffice on his mind a portion of the time in his absence in New York, as lie had happened accidently to meet seme of the parties who are inter ested in the sale of one or two of the sites, but there were other things of so much more importance than this building that it would have to wait So also with the appointment of an immigrant inspector. He had heard from the glassworkers in re gard to their candidate and he had also from the opponents of that candidate, whose name unfortunately he would not divulge. Neither would he make public the nature of the op position. There was too much cholera in the air to consider these things. The im migrant inspector could wait with the Alle gheny posrtoffice. 1 V ITALY HATES AMERICANS. A New Story or the Murder of Seaman Reilly Becanse of His Nationality. London, Sept 12. The latest advices re ceived here from Genoa regarding the mur der of Frank Reilly, the Beaman of the United States steamer Newark, who was killed on the night of 'September 8 in a lodging house in Genoa, show that national animus against Americans was the cause of the crime. The proprietor of the lodging house, when the Newark's men applied to him for lodging, used most abusive Ian guage to them simply because they were Americans. One of those present, knowing the pro prietor, advised the men that it was unsafe lor them to remain in the place. All the sailors started for tbe door, whereupon the proprietor, with a knife in each hand, sprang toward Reilly and stuck both the weapons in bis back. Reilly staggered to the street, where he fell and died in a few minutes. The murder was entirelv un provoked, and Reilly was killed for no other reason than that he was an American.

THE HEW CHAMPION'S EETURN. Welcomed by Thousands and Cheered Through New Yorka Streets. HIS WIFE'S GREETING AT THEIR HOTEL rSPEClAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Sept 12. James J. Corbett, the champion heavy-weight pugilist of the world, was ushered into this city this afternoon, from his triumphal trip from New Orleans, with great pomp. Fully 5,000 men, women and children lent their combined efforts In shouting them selves hoarse and congratulating the yonng Californlan as he alight ed nimbly from the special train at Jersey City, at 3:45 o'clock. Long before that hour the erowd had gathered, and impatiently awaited the champion's ar rival. The train was considerably behind schedule time. One of the first to leave the train was Corbett A loud and prolonged cheer rent theairasi he stepped on the platform. He bowed courteously to all. Fol lowing the champion were his manager, William A. Brady, Denny Dillon, Billy Delany, his trainer; Jim Daly, his sparring partner; Frank Mc Vey, of Philadelphia, and a few others. The party made their way to the Des brosses street ferry. A Tjirce Crowd Disappointed. West street between Cortland and Lib erty streets, was almost blockaded with people all afternoon. The orowd began to assemble shortly after 1 o'clock in front of the Pennsylvania Railroad ferry house, and continued to increase in numbers until 4 o'clock. The crowd was there for the purpose of seeing Jim Corbett, but were disappointed. Corbett came over the other branch of the Pennsylvania ferry at the foot of Desbrosses street A man who appeared to be a sport and wore a picture of Corbett upon his breast came over the ferry about 4:30 o'clock ac companied by two friends, one of whom told the crowd that the "sport" was Corbett They were followed and cheered for several blocks on Cortlandt street A poor Chinese who had paid to come over on the same boat was pelted with potatoes, tomatoes and pieces of watermelon by a few who were disap pointed at not seeing the champion. As soon as Corbett and his party reached the city they were driven to the Coleman House. The scene here was just as excit ing as that which occurred at the Pennsyl vania depot in Jersey City. Corbttt's Meeting TVith His Wire. A curious crowd congregated about the hotel as early as 10 o'clock in the morning. The bar in the cafe was continually packed with people. At the entrance to the hotel was a bust portrait of Corbett, surrounded by two flags. Directly above another large flag was spread, and at either side of Corbett's picture was the following: "Welcome, James J. Corbett, Champion Pugilist of the World, at Madison Square Garden To-Night" It was exactly 3:58 o'clock when the champion, looking fatigued and wearied, ar rived at the hotel. It was only by dint of hard pushing that he managed to reach his room, 202, on the second floor. His wife and a few of her lady lriends were in the hall to greet him. As soon as the pugilist's wife saw her distinguished husband coming toward her she flung herself into his arms and encircled hers around his neck, saying: "Hello, Jim; I am so glad to see vou." Then she hurried him into bis room, and as soon as he could quell the demonstration of his numerous admirers, he relieved himself of his traveling attire ana tooic a oath ana naa a shave.. It was well on to 5 o'clock before he was able to enjoy much needed rest Then he found timn to examine the many presents that had been sent to him by some of his admirers. The Champion's Pnb'Ic Itecep'lon. Seven thousand peode showered their applause upon James Corbett in Mad ison Square Garden to-night They waited patiently lor his appearance which was long deferred enough to test their good nature. They were not cheered by the announcement that the two ten-round bouts for $1,000 would not go on because they were in violation of the law and not in conformity with Inspector Byrnes' idea of good order. Instead, Prof. Donald son announced that there would be three and four-round bouts. It was 10:20 o'clock when Manager Brady came on the raised platform in the middle ot tbe garden. He was greeted with loud cheers. A minute later Corbett him self, attired in his boxing trunks with a bath towel wrapped around his shoulders followed. Tbe applause which greeted him was not wildly enthusiastic, but was long and-generous. Brady spoke as follows: Ladles and Gentlemeu: I have in my hands a letter from John L. Sullivan, who for 12 years has held the title of champion of the world. On the day following Mr. Sullivnn's defeat tbe champion sent him n note offering to spar In this plqce on Saturday evening. Mr. Corbett has nothing but the kind liest teelinsi toward Mr. Sullivan and no one recosnlzes more than the new champion the steady inei it of the man whom he de feated. Mr. Corbett hopes that Mr. Sulli van's benefit will be a tremendous success. I will now reid Mr. Sullivan's letter: Mr. James J. Corbett, Coleman House, City. In reply to your letter dated New Orleans, September 8, 1892, would say I accept your Eroposition to spar at the- Madison Square arden Saturday evening, September 17. Awaiting your reply. Yours respectfully. Jobs L. Suxuvait. Corbett Will Spar With Sullivan. Brady had to make his speech to both sides of the house while Corbett sat in his corner facing Jim Daly and smiled. "Mr. Corbett's reply," continued Brady, "is that he will be here on Saturday night and spar." This brought forth loud cheers and also bronght Corbett to his feet, "I thank you all," said the new champion, "for'the splendid reception you have given me. I sincerely hope that Mr. Sullivan will succeed in all his undertakings. All I can say is that I will be perfectly satisfied if I can Jirotect the heavyweight championship as ong as he has done." Louder cheers followed and Jim also had to repeat his speech to tbe other side of the bouse. Prof. Mike P ono van and Billy Delaney, Corbett's trainer, were presented to the audience by Manager Brady and then Corbett and Daly sparred three rounds, each of a minute's duration. The champion showed to the best advantage his wonderful agility, and elicited loud cheers by the manner inwhich he evaded Daly's blows. After the spar ring Corbett retired and the audience scat tered in good order. Mrs. Corbett and a party of friends occupied a box dnrirfg the exhibition. Ceatral Turn Vereln.

Only One Practicable rath That Can Take Them Fast tbe Arctic Circle. "It .does not seem likely that more than 100 or 200 large Icebergs make their way each year in the only practicable path that can take them bevond the Arctic Circle that which is afforded by the enrrent which sets out of Davis Strait, and down the Lab rador shore, and then eastward into the At lantic," says Prof. N. S. Sholer in Scritmsr "Though somewhat inconstant,this current is a tolerably steady stream, setting south through the wide channel which separates the shores of Greenland from those of the many islands which beset the northeast coast of the American continent By this southward-moving water the ice is propelled out . into the open .sea. The stream contiuues to the south, bat widens and diminishes in the energy of its flow. It shortly comes in contact with the Gulf stream, which it somewhat affects, and by which it is much affected. A part of the southward setting current passes down along the shore of Labrador as a superficial stream of no great width or speed. Another, and perhaps the larger part, flows beneath the Gulf stream, and in time joins the great, slow-moving procession of Arctic waters which, following the bot tom of the deeper sea, in the end attain the equatorial district "For a considerable distance southeast of Greenland there are thns two distinct currents in the ocean waters a lower, moving southwardly, and an upper, or superficial stratum, creeping toward the North. The thin floe-ice, floating alto gether within a hundred feet of the surface, is beaten back against the Labrador shore by the surface stream; -but the ice bergs, because of their greater depth, are driven forward by the under current in a southwardly direction. Owing to this peculiarity we sometimes may observe the bergs ploughing their way through vast fields of floe-ice as steadfastly as a steamship when it breaks its way in the newformed ice of a harbor." THE LAWFUL DAYS OF SP0BT. With tbe Beginning of September the Right Season Opens Up. "And now, with the first faint turning of the leaf, begin tbe sportsman's lawful days of honest pleasure. Now is the time for first long jaunts afield, for bracing nerve and flabby muscle for the work of the opened season, for running superfluous beef off lately neglected dogs, and truing their masters' hands- and eyes to their old-time unerring skill," says Ed W. Sandys in Outmg. "Some shoot in August, despite sweltering heat and all attendant discomforts, but your true Nimrod wants naught of such unfair sport, even in territory where the law allows it No bird is prime in August, and no good Sir Knight of the tapered tubes will care one rap for murdering immature birds, or old ones just recovering from the exhaustion of shedding an old garb of feath ers and growing a new one. But with Sep tember conditions alter. The flapper of two weeks agone is growing strong of wing; the ragged-looking ruffed grouse, a dilap idated skulker in berry patches, now sports a bonny new garb and springs with roaring pinions in his favorite thicke't, and snipe, cock and shorebirds are plump, well-feath-ere 1 and fit to lie in peace within the yawn ing pdekets of the old shooting coat "'Tis true that the birds will be still bet ter a month later, but the waiting is long for eager guns, and too much ot the long agony of hope deferred chimes ill with the sportsman's mood; so let brave hearts and true fare keenly forth to levy toll upon the ripened broods and enjoy the dear-loved pleasure of seeing stanch dogs at work again." THE LOCALIIIES OF BIHD1 The Feathered Creatures Often Capible of Erjojing Local Attachment. The Century. All our permanent residents among-the birds, both large and small, are compara tively limited in their ranges. The crow is nearly as local as the woodebuck. He goes further from home in quest of food, bat his territory is well defined, both winter and summer. His place of roosting remains the same year after year. Once, while spend ing a few days at a mountain lake nearly surrounded by deep woods, my attention was attracted each nizht, just at sundown, bv an osprey that always came from the samo direction, dipped into the lake as he passed over it for a sip of its pure water, and disappeared in the woodi beyond. The routine of his life was probably as marked as that of any oi ours. He fished the wateis of the Delaware all day, probably never troing bevond a certain limit, and returned each night at sundown, as pnnctual as a day-laborer, to his retreat in the forest The sip of water, too, from the lake he never failed to take. All the facts we possess in regard to the habits of song birds in this respect point to the conclusion that the same individuals return to the same localities year after year to nest and to rear their young. I am con vinced that the same woodpecker occupies the same cavity in a tree winter after winter and drums upon the same drv limb spring after spring. I like to think of all these creatures as capable of local attachments, and not insensible to the sentiment of home. THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH, Jadlclons Tolerance and Experience to Be Used In Teaching tbe Toang. "Not only have I thought constantly and deeply on this subject for many years, but I have had during that time intimate and affectionate relations with many children, both boys and girls, of widely varied natures; and the conclusion at which I have arrived is that this natural curiosity of growing minds in regard to all subjects should be met by older people with a wise and judicious tolerance, and satisfied by a disclosure of as much of what is the truth as the grown person in question thinks the child capable of comprehending," says Amelia Bives in tbe North American Review. "Of course, in the moral education of young girls, due reference should be had to their characteristics both of bodv and mind. Some intellects can digest and ben fit by knowledge which would only burden anil disturb those leu strong or those which are unduly excitable and imaginative. That which, according to my views, should be avoided, is a system of training from which all instruction, or at least all clear instruction, as to the rules of health and life, has been rigorously eliminated. A knowledge of the laws which govern phys ical nature seems to me not only the right of every thinking being, but the only means by which people will ever be brought to look simply, wisely' and innocently at certain fundamental facts, upon which rests the whole structure of existence." The Will of Darwin. Where instinct was stronger than both will and reason is illustrated in a story told of Darwin, who was accustomed to go to the zoological gardens, and putting his fore head against the glass case containing the cobra de capello, to test his will and reason ing power. Darwin was perfectly convinced as to the inability of the snake harming him, yet every time the vicions snake would strike against tbe glass he al ways dodged back in spite of his reason and will to resist the impulse.
