A Great Collection or Birds.
I had the pleasure, the other day,
or inspecting the curious and valuable
collection of birds belonging to our cel
ebrated compatriot, Dr. Thomas W.
EvanF, who is devoted to his feathered
pets, and has lodged them in a. most
sumptuous manner. Not penned in
stilling cages, but in large inclosuren of
wire-work out of doors, the beautiful
creatures enjoy all the privileges of free
dom and all the protection of captivity.
The collection is 110 ordinary one, but
comprises several remarkable rarities,
(old and silver pheasants, parrots and
paroquets, lovely white peacocks, and
others of the more easily domesticated
foreign birds abound. The curiosities
comprise, first, a superb specimen of the
gorgeous lupJwpJiore retplcnilistom (I be
lieve tliis is the technical name for the
lovely creature), radiant to behold in
gold-colored and velvet-brown plumage,
penciled with white; a Lady-Amhcrst
pheasant, saul to be the most beautiful of
that beautiful tribe, with silvery en
ciled plumage fulling over a ground of
glossy black; a pair of rare tropical pea
fowls, with collars and crests seemingly
in black velvet and far richer in plumage
than our soberly attired birds ot the
same race; and lastly, the greatest rarity
of all. a pair of the original breed of
chickens from India, samples of the race
from which all our domestic hens and
roosters have sprung. The plain brown
little hen, sitting so contentedly on her
comfortable perch, lias been brought
successfully through the ordeal of a
European winter, an almost unheard of
trirmph, and she is now worth 10,000
francs ($2,000). The Doctor, however,
refuses to part with tho gem of his col
lection even on these terms. Should she
ever lay an egg, her possessor would be
come entitled to a prize ol 500 franc?,
but as yet she has neglected that obvi
ous duty ot hens. Perhaps so high-prict-d
a bird feels it beneath her dignity
to Attend to such common-place affairs.
The collection finds a home in the
spacious garden attached to the resi
dencc of Dr. Evans, en tnc Avenue de
rimperatrice. The rarer species of small
birds are even more sumptuously lodged
indoors in an elegant apiary. The cen
tre of the garden is taken up with in
closures for water fowls, which ate
furnished with paved basins for their
uatic irolics, while the large wired in-
closurcs extend around tho outermost
limits ot the grounds. Rare ducks and
fowl disport themselves at will around
tho shrubbery, while a stately demoi
selle crane, tame as a chicken and sol
emn as a judge, marches around in soli
tary dignity, condescending to accept
food' and caresses only lroni his master's
hand. Part car. Phila. Pre.

It was all about a kitten. The Dar
danelle (Ark.) Independent contained a
paragraph denouncing some "dirty, low
born brute" name unknown "who had
so mutilated a kitten as to "just leave
life in its little body." It seems that
Capt. R. W. Wishard, who had probably
kicked the conceit out of a cat, regarded
the item as a gross personal reflection on
his"honah." He called on the editor,
Mr. Cloyd, who acknowledged tho pa
ternity of the paragraph. "We will
settle this thing no use being in a
hurry" solemnly observed Capt Wish
ard, as he moved off majestically. Mr.
Cloyd happeaed to kow what "settling
things" meant. Three hours later Capt,
Wishard returned. The -words were few, I

Hallo, stranger, you seem to be
going to market."
"Yes, sir, I am."
"What are you carrying that plow
along for?"
"Going to send it to Pittsburg."
"To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania?
"You're mighty right; I am."
"What are you going to send it there
for?"
"To get sharpened."
'All the way to Pittsburg to get
sharpened?"
"You bet ! We've starved our black
smith out; he pulled up stakes the other
day and went to Texas."
"Well, that's a rather novel idea my
friend sending a plow so far to get
sharpened."
"You're right it is. Wc used to have
a mill at Punkinvinc Creek, but the
owner got too poor to keep it up, and so
we turned to getting our grinding done
at St. Louis."
"You don't mean to say you send
your gnst all the way to St. Louis by
rail?"
"I didn't say nothing about gris w
hain't got no gris to send. But wc get
our flour and meal from St. Louis."
"I see you have a hide on your wagon."
"Vcs; our old cow died last week.
March winds blowcd the life out'n her.
Sendin' her hide to Boston to get
tanned."
"All the way to Boston? Is not that
rather expensive, my friend ? The freights
will eat the hide up."
"That's a fact cleaner than the buz
zard's did the old critter's carcass. But
what's the use bein' taxed to huild rail
roads 'thout you get the good of 'em?
Used to have a tanyard over at Lick
skillctt and a shoemaker, too. But they're
kerflumniuxcd."
"Kerflummuxed what's that?"
"It means, gone up n spout and twixt
you and me, that's mighty nigh the case
with our State."
"When do you expect to get your
leather?"
"Don't expect to git no leather at all
expect to get shoes, some day, made at
Boston or thereabouts."
"Rather a misfortune to lose a milk
cow, my friond."
"Not so. much a misfortune as you
heard it was. Monstrous sight cf shuck
in' and nubiuin' a cow, and milkin' her
night and moniiu' and gettin' only about
three quarts a day."
"What are you going to do (or milk I"
"Send North for it."
"Send North Tor milk?"
"Yes; concentrated milk and Goshen
butter."
"Oh I I sec the point"
"Mighty handy things these railroads
make them Yankee fellers do all our
jobs for us now do our smithin', and
grindin', and tannin', and milkiu', and
churnin'."
"I see you have a bale of cotton."
"Yes, wj go our bottom nickel on cot
ton. Sendin' it up to Massachusetts to
get it carded, spun, and wove. Time'U
come when we'll send it there to be
ginned, then we'll be happy. Mon
strous sight of trouble running these
gins."
"That would be rather expensive,
sending cotton in seed."
"No more so than them Western fel
lows pays when they send corn east and
get a dollar a bushel and pay six bits
freight. Besides, as I said, what is the
use of paying for railroads 'thout we use
the roads!"
"You seem to appreciate the advanta
ges of railroads."
"I think we ought wc pay enough
for 'cm."
"I reckon you fatten your own pork?"
"Well, you reckon wrong, stranger. I
get them Illinoy fellers to do that for
me. It's mighty convenient, too mon
strous sight of trouble toting a big
basketful of corn three times a day to
hogs in a pen especially when you
hain't got none to tote it to."
"I should think so."
"There's one thing lacking though to
make the business complete."
"What's that?"
"They ought to send them hogs ready
cooked. Cookin', and preparin' wood
for cookin' takes up a heap of time that
ort by rights to be employed in the cot
ton patch. I was sayin' to -my old
woman the other day, it we Mississippi
folks got our cookin' and wash in' done up
North and sent by express, we'd be as
happy as oflice-holders."
"Your horse in the lead there seems
to be lame."
"Yes, needs shoeiu'. If he wasn't the
only horse IVc got, I and I can't spare
him, I'd send him up where they made
the horse shoes and nails and get him
shod. Can't get such a thing lone in
our parts. Perhaps I can at the depot,"
"How do you manage to live in your
parts, my old friend?"
"Why, we raise cotton. My road turns
off here, stranger. Gee, Ball; back,

The laTeatar ef the Wheelbarrow.
It takes a great man to do a little thing
sometimes.
Who do you think invented that very
simple thing called a wheelbarrow?
Why, no less a man than Leonardo da
Vinci.
And who was he?
He was a musician, poet, painter,
architect, sculptor, physiologist, engineer,
natural historian, botanist and inventor,
all in one. He wasn't a "Jack at all
trades and master of none," either. He
was a real master of many arts, and a
practical worker besides.
Whca did he live?
Somewhere alxmt the time that Co
lumbus discovered America.
And where was he born?
In the beautiful city of Florence, in
Italy.
Perhaps some of you may feel a little
better acquainted with him when I tell
you that it was Leonardo da Vinci who
painted one of tbe grandest pictures in
the world "The Last Supper" a picture
that has been copied many times, and
engraved in several styles, w that almost
every one has an idea of the arrangement
and position at the table of the figures of
Our Lord and his disciples; though I am
told that without seeing the painting
itself, no one cau form a notion of how
grand and !eautiful it is.
And only to think of the thousands of
poor, hardworking Amuricans who really
own, in their wheelbarrow, au original
"work" of Leonardo da Vinci! St.
Nicliolas.
English Children.
Mrs. Julian Hawthnrnc thus describes
the manner in which the English people
of the upper classes treat their young
children: Perhaps, while we are in thb
nursery, it might be well to give au idea
of the course of daily discipline to which
English children are subjected, and to
which quite as much as to the climate
they owe their soft, bright complexions
and abundant health. They rise at half
past 7 all the year round. They are
carefully bathed and rubbed, and by half
.past 8 are hungry for breakfast, which
consists of a dish of oat meal or hominy
and a bowl of milk, or of Eppo's cocoa
with a little stale bread crumbled in it.
Instead of the oatmeal or hominy, they
may occasionally have a perfectly fresh
soft boiled egg, mixed with stale crumb
led bread. After breakfast they pay
their mamma an hour's visit, and th:n
go for an hour's walk. Oa their return
they play in the day-nursery until 12,
and arc then put to bed for au hour and
a half. Between half past 1 and 2 they
have dinner. This meal should consist
mainly of strong beef or mutton broth,
wholly free from grease, and mixed with
half its bulk of boiled ricj; or barley.
It must be cooked especially for the
children, and the cook must be made to
understand that children's meals should
be prepared with even more care than
grown people's. For dessert they may
eat a little stewed fruit or rice pudding.
At 3 o'clock they take their afternoon
walk, remaining out, unless in the bit
terest weather, until 5. Then they have
what is called afternoon tea bread and
blackberry jam and sweetened boiled
milk. The next thing is a good hearty
romo in the nursery, in which the whole
family takes part, until about C:30
o'clock. Then mamma takes them to
her room while she is dressing for din
ner, and at 7 they arc put to bed.
This regimen is pursued with undevi
ating regularity until the child is 4 years
ot age, and it builds up a fund of order
liness, blooming health, and sturdy nerves
which generally lasts through life.
English Railroad Accident.
In England last year 1,175 persons
were killed and 4,468 were injured by
railroads, including, wc presume, all the
employes and passengers, and possibly
some of the tramps on the track. This
is nearly five times as many as the
Mnilroad Qazetle' figures charge upon
the American railroad service for the
same year; our mileage also is four times
that of England, although the number
of miles run by trains is not so dispro
portionate. The proportion of passen
gers killed in England in 1847 was about
1 to 5,000,000 or the same as in Massa
chusetts in 1873, but in this State in
1874 only 1 passenger was killed to 42,
000,000 transported. The proportion in
this country has been steadily diminish
ing; in England it has been rising with
frightful rapidity. In 1864 only 12 pas
sengers were killed; in 1868, 39; in 1870,
61 ; in 1874, 68. This indicates that tbe
English railroad apparatus is being put
to a strain which it can stand no loager
with safety to the public. English roll
ing stock is certainly inferior to Ameri
can in stability. The English model
sacrifices strength to lightness, and is
very defective in other respects. Spring-
field Rev.
Mrs. Jarrctt, of Murfreetboro, Tenn.,
was murdered in her own house by a
negro. He made $63 by the operation
but will probably lose his own soul. He
rated himself a little higher than Judas.
The Supreme Court has decided that
colored children are entitled to the same
privileges and accommodations as the
whites; and, eves., though separate
schools be provided for tbe former, they
cast still attead the schools of the white
childrea.

They who look deepest into business
affairs see most clearly that a reputation
for unquestionable reliability is worth
more to any man or set of men, taking
the course of a whole business life into
consideration, than any possible profits
which are the result of "tricks oT trade,"
or the lack of information in a customer
as to the true value and merits of the
goods he is purchasing. Placing the
transaction entirely on its cash value,
money obtained by misrepresentation or
fraud costs more than it is worth. When
we see tiiis idea incorporated into the
charter of a joint stock company, and
sce'its spirit carried out in their prac
tices, we feel not only that we can speak
of the enterprise in high terms of com
mendation, but that it is our duty to do
so. This company was organized about
two years ago under the laws of' the
State of Missouri. Wc find, united in
its business affairs, as officers, directors
and shareholders, some of the best busi
ness men of St. Louis, the representatives
of a class who are giving new life to this
commercial center, and who intend to
make it the first city in the West, working
under a charter which compels them to
make nil purchases for net cash. They
have been contented with a slow growth,
knowing that they were gaining an
increase ot strength with every month,
and that a reputation for being large cash
buyers would soon place tbcm in a
position of unequaled strength. So
thoroughly have they lived up to this
line of policy that they now, asthcir
books show, positively have no liabilities,
as can be ascertained by any one through
the well known agency of Lathrop,
McKillop & Co., or any prominent banker
of reliable commercial standing in St.
Louis, and are probably the only concern
in the country which can refer to a
similar record. When a company is so
strong on one point of business policy,
it can reasonably be expected to show
other features of similar strength, an
expectation which in their case is fully
sustained by facts. With a charter
which will allow them to handle almost
anything in the range of mercantile
business, they have selected the
PIANO AND OKCAN TKAOE,
and are seeking to develope that line into
a positive success before reaching out to
other departments. Kncwing that true
success cannot come from pushing the
sale of inferior instrument, they have
never allowed themselves to be misled
by the seemingly largo profits sometimes
made on the most worthless goods,
seeing clearly that when the dissatisfac
tion that a poor instrument is sure to
give is added to its cost, the better in
struments prove the least expensive to
themselves and their customers. Their
strength in this position will be sen at
once when it is considered that being cash
buyers they can control the s&le of the
best instruments, and can offer them at
reasonable prices to cash purchasers, and
to those whom it is an object, on terms
of easy monthly payments, thus eiving to
those who wish instruments in that way
an opportunity to get the best.
Wnen they represent aa instrument as
being good and well made, they intend
that it shall be so or there is no sale.
To prove their good faith they furnish
each purchaser with a warrantee signed
jointly by the manufacturer and them
selves. This, it will at once be seen,
secures to the purchaser that for which
he pays an instrument as good as rep
resented. Should it prove otherwise,
his money is as secure to him as though
it were deposited to his order in the
soundest bank in the coaatry, placing
him in a very different position from thar
n which he would find himself it his
purchase was made throagh an irre
sponsible agent or dealer. -Knowing
what we dout tneaftenwhoaremanigiBg
the affairs of this company, and the
foundation principles oa which they are
building their enterprise, we do not
hesitate to say that dealers and musicians,
or those wiaaing uatransea ta, will serve
their interests by caRsapoadiag with the
St. Louis Mercantile Compaay, and aa
certatninir the terms oa -which they caa
procare iastntmaata throtjgh them from
