Cambria counties.
The papers from the Philadelphia County
Democracy, nominatins Congressman Mc

The regular nomination papers were filed

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.

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

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.

FOR A LONG TIME SADLY WANTED.
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

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 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.

TEE J0TJBNEY 07 ICEBEBGB.
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.
