Up to emancipation times, or rather j
the close of the war, mocking birds | '
were plentiful everywhere in Georgia. | 1
During the years that followed freedom j
armed a race to whom guns had been !
forbidden. The negro became an j '
enthusiastic hunter, but he was un- \
skilled and could gratify his craze for j
destroying only upon birds that were J
nearest at hand. Mocking birds, car-;
dinals, joreels, catbirds and thrushes j '
went down as easy conquests before a j'
class that had uever been tanght better j '
and bad neither sentiment nor con-1
science. The negro hunters of to-day, I
with possibly a few exceptions, are |
not wing shots, and they fill their bags
with birds that can be killed in the '
trees. It goes without saying that
these are the birds that should be
~ ~ Ar?/^ f A OnAlfttTT
spaieu l<_/ mv licjua ckiu.1 ?,v/ OUUIVVM
My observation has been that few,
very few, negroes will pass, gun in
hand, anything that has feathers and
is large enough to cook; and this is
borne out by the fact that the bluejay,
the woodpecker and the catbird are '
disappearing from the fields and woods
almost as fast as the mocking bird
proper.
The destruction of the mocking bird j
has been more rapid because his nest
has been systematically robbed by
parties of both colors for private gain
or gratification. A year or two since
we noted one shipment of these birds
from Savannah which contained GOO
or 700. upon tiie streets 01 mis ana j
all other cities they are openly sold
every summer.
"When it is remembered that every
bug or worm thus cut oil' may represent
thousands, the value of the bird's
services can be understood. True, he
tabes figs and berries, but he earns*
them.
Most Southern people are familiar
with the habits of these birds, but it
will be news to many to be told, as in
the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," that
they go to New England in the summer
to breed and return in the fall. Audubon's
statement was that some of them
"go North," ond this term applied to
the migration of birds means with aim i
nortnwaru. 111 iviaryiauu ana v u-i
ginia the bird can be found in summer, |
but be comes southward in the autumn, j
I am inclined to think that some pass
us and go ,to Florida in very cold
weather. I have seen them late in the
autumn flying southward high in the
air and northward early in the spring.
Audubon says that the stay-at-home
birds of the family fight these migratory
fellows upon their return.
Mocking birds can be taught almostJ"
anything in the way of tunes. Macdh j
used to boast of a bird that^.wfilstled !
"Dixie," and years ago a frenchman j
craveieu acout me coutttry piaying airs i
upon bis piano which his bird would
follow securely. At the Pulaski j
^ifer^fnTSavannah. a negro used to
= ?'? keep a bird that would whistle a good
alto to tunes bis master whistled.
One of the most popular errors concerning
the mocking bird is the belief
that he has no song of his own: that
he adopts and blends only the notes of I
other birds into a song. This is purely
nonsense. The young mocking birds
reared in the garrets of great cities,
and beyond the reach of the songs of
others," sing as do the natives in their
freedom, though not as strongly, since
they lack the inspiration of mates, the
mellow sunlight and liberty. Their
song is, in fact, a number of songs, but
entirely original. No man ever heard
the divisions of the mocking bird's
song in any forest. That he intersperses
them with cat call, the hawk's
screech, the whirr of the bull bat and j
the chicken's melancholy "peep" anci j
notes from other birds is true, but I
these are only characters in his recitative
ballad,features in the romance of bis
summers. That he sings his parts
backward and forward and combines 1
ai ?~ A rru^
ilium anew ui&u uuc. JLIIC minting
bird's song is to the ear what the
kaleidoscope is to the eye, and the J
combinations of his songs are as 1
endless as the gloes forms in the toy; !
but the song notes are the same.
This bird is probably the most con
tinuous singer in the world, but there 1
are two weeks out of fifty-two when 1
nothing can tempt him to sing, and
that is when he is molting. At that ]
time he may be found moping in a 1
secluded spot, lost in rayless melan- '
ciioly. lie looks then hot and sick and
the only note he utters is a low, short
whistle, not unlike that which the fat '
makes as he removes his hat and mops {
his brow. Perhaps during this season
the bird lays aside mockery, repents :
and makes good resolutions. [
Georgia bos no law to protect her
wild singers, whose songs delight and !
astonish the world. Some of our 1
Southern cities have laws to protect *
buzzards and enforce them rigidiy. 1
The negro, who by pulling a trigger (
may banish more melody from the J
world than human lips can sound, may j
do it with impunity, but it costs him 1
So to hit a buzzard with a clod of dirt. 1

^-The fcllort now being made by certain
humanitarians to discourage the
wearing of birds or their plumage by
ladies in their hats is all very good in
its way and gives opportunities for
such persons to pose as reformers, but
why they should visit their wordy
wrath upon the poor milliners, as
some have done, is as mysterious as it
is inconsistent. The milliner does not

benevolent brothers and sisters to "go

And while they are about it let them
not stop at plumes on hats; let them
recollect the beautiful tortoise shell
comb Miss Fashion wears in her hair
was originally taken from a poor
innocent creature who used this material
for its only defense. The kid
gloves she has on her hands were
stripped from a babe whose parents
had hoped that its maturity would be
spent in the harmless amusement of
bounding about on suburban rocks
and foraging freely on fence-board
circus-posters
The satchel she carries on her arm
but a short time ago formed part of an
amphibious animal whose only c-;me
consisted in basking in the su.. aine J
on the mud flats of the St. John's j
River, Florida, occasionally frolicking j
in its waters or watching for an in- J
cautious black picaninny on whom to j
make a meal.
The silk dress she robes nersen in
was made from the winding threads
that formed protection for thousands
of nature's beautiful creations, who
were cruelly scaldcd within their
secluded retreats lest (hey might eat
[heir way out and spoil the continuity
}f the valuable lib re?.

(From itu .Sr. Li/itis lleyv.blkftn.)
There is a vast difference between the
boy? of to-day and those of iifty year?
ago, more especially as regards the
things which minister to comfort: and
pleasure. The new hoy, even if his
parents are only moderately blessed
\V 2111 IMS won a S ifOOU~, liu.i u nuiurobo
which would have astonished the
old boy. Instead 01' the unbind
covvhidc boots--ofttner shoe??rough
woolen or rougher mi* cap, coarse cotion
shirt, coat and pantaloons cu;
down from the cast-oil' paternal garments,
rarely an overcoat and <til!
more rarely any underwear, except
the aforesaid I shirt and homemade
socks?the new boy has his button
shoes, rubber boots, handsome capol
sealskin or cloth, neat linen, substantial
underclothing, knickerbockers,
coat and vest of fashionable cut, with
overcoat to match, all bought for him
at first hands, and frequently a watch
and chain. Think of an old boy with
a watch and chain! lie would have
been a greater curiosity among his
/ ninnunii'itK fhilll ? t l'ic.k elOTlh&Ul.
From the time the new boy is out ol
his cradle he has a full assortment 01
"store toys;" and as he gets oldei
money provides him with marbles,
tops, kites, bails, bats, knives, wagons,
sleds, skates, bycicles and nearly
everything else in the shape of play^
things that can be imagined.
The old boy, in his infancy, was
lucky if he got a silver dollar to cu
his teeth on, an improvised ratt <
and a rag baby. Toys of largei
growth ke manufactured himself
"swapped" for, got somehow by "hool
or crook," or borrowed or did with
out; they were seldom or never bough
for him, and Christmas and Sant!
Claus never favored him with thei:
visitations?while New Year was pro
verbiallr stingy and Thanksgiving onb
stuffed his stomach. Now and thei
he had a few coppers in his pocket
but silver was quite beyond his reach
a warm slpftnin.cr anarfment in winte
he never enjoyed, unless on the sic!
list. In a cold room, usual I3' n<
bigger than a closet, he crawled be
tween ice-cold sheets, and with chat
tering teeth saw his breath go out ii
white vapor. In the morning he oftei
broke the ice for washing-water, hall
dressed himself with numb fingers am
finished his toilette by the kitchei
stove. The new boy has an inlinit
variety of literature, prepared cspc
cially for him; that of the old boy wa
of the ancient Sunday-sohool sort, c
which no more need be said to thos
who have tried it. The new boy goe
to the theatre, circus or at least to th
dime museum; but these places c

with kindergarten and ends with co
lege or at least high school. The ol.
boy was fortunate if he obtained hi
"three Its'' from some rural jiedagogu
or at best was ground through a muc
poorer educational mill than negroc
have nowadays.
When out "of the mill he was seft
work and thought himself well pai
with indilierent board and clothe;
The genteel idleness of the averag
new boy, which so often degenerate
in vagabondism, was not tolerate
fifty years ago, and, unlike the averag

A Mexican Dog Story.
According to a correspondent in th

there can give points to a Scotch colli
and beat him. The Mexicans educat
j them to tend their flocks and herds am
j they perform the duty with more fide!
! ity and satisfaction than a man. The;
| will take a flock of sheep or herd o
goats out in the morning, drive theD
to the feeding grounds, defend then
from the attack of predatory "var
minis" and bring them back to th
bedding place at night without losing
a single animal. Up in New Mexic<
fherc was an isolated ranch, whicl
was one of a system controlled by ;
wealthy sheepman. lie or one of hi
agents usually visited it twice a yea
to shear the sheep and take provision
to the pastora, or herder. On one o
these semi-annual visits he found th
herder dead in his cabin and his bod'
nearly decomposed. The sheep wer<

and waited until night. As the sui
began to sink the sheep came trooping
in with the dog in the rear. The]
crowded into the corral through :

pushed forward the dog seized anc
killed him and dragged the lifelcsi

he made a comfortable supper oft' a

f A Fable.
r A burglar who had ransacked a hou
without profit entered the bedroom of t
[ owner and indignantly inquired :
. "What sort of a man arc you that yo
\ silver is the cheapest plate, your watch o
I of order and your wallet is entirely cinpt
* Do you imagine thai my time is of no ?
i count, that I must fool it away in this ma
ner?"
- '"Alas!" replied the householder, *'t!
1 fault is not my own. The holder of
i chattel mortgage just cleaned me out t
r { day."
"All! I beg a thousand pardons. J
man .should have had his house robbi
twice in twenty-four hours. My brothn
should have notified me by telephone."
; Moral: Give the burglar the prcferen:
in such matters.?Ax.

this branch of practice, left to )
childbearing woman this price- 3g
less iegacv and life-saving an- *
pliance, '"THE MOTHERS'
iTilE^D," and to-day there
arc thousands of the best women
in our land who, Laving
used this wonderful remedy
before confinement, rise up and 1
call bis name blessed.
\Ye receive letters from even"
section of the country thanli- ^
in? us for placing this pre nam- ^
tion in the reaeh (,f
woman. One lady from North
Carolina writes us that she
would like to thank the proprietors
on her knees for brin^in'*
it to her notice, as in a previous
confinement she had two
dottas, and they were com- a
pelled to use chloform, instruments,
etc., and slic suffered ~ ^
almost death; but this time she
used "MO HIE IIS' FRIES!),"
and her labor was short, quick
and almost like magic. Now
why should a woman suffer
when she can avoid it? We can
prove all a\\* claim by living *
icitucwi, and anyone interested
can call, or have their hasbands
do so, at our office, and >
see the 01 iginal letters, which 1
we cannot publish.
This remedy is one about which we can
n<-t publish certificates, but it is a most *
wonderful liniment to be used after tlie
first two or three months.
Send for our treatise on the Health and
Happiness of Woman, mailed free, which >
gives all particulars. *
