CONE!,tG has 50onnled hi war trumpet for.re-Alction, and the "half breeds" at Albany are quaking in theij boots. Who Laughs Lust, .suahs Vest. That srreat weathercock, the Now York Herald, says that people begin to ask themselves "Whathas this great Republican party done, and what is it doing for the country? They see it just now engaged In a desperate fight over the public plunder, and neglect ing every public interest in this die graceful scramble." And thou the Berald proceeds, as follows, on its own secount: ".As they look on with contempt at this exhlbftion. which has about as much dignity as a frst-clams dog fight, they recall the fact that under Hayes It did little else than carefuily conceal the stealing which it fostered, and that with loud and interminable protles slons ot virtue In the last dozen years it has only produced scandal after ocandal, until the whole history of the party in this period Is made' up of B1elAnap, liobesaa, Pacifio Mall, star route, whiskey f raud. carpet-bag, sala rv grab and a multitude of other job berles of the basest aid most vulgar kind, mixed in with the most abject subjection to railroad and other oor poration influeuces. And in all that time 1o one can recall without an 0oabret ai solitary public service the par ty hss reUwered. It might as well in acribs ou its banners "inillio.a far plunder, uot one cent for the public 1nterests ." It has resisted every reform; it has prevented the repeal of every bit of the obsolete and obstructive war legis lation; it has maintained every bad law on the statute book; it has shown h every imaginable way its total in capitylt to deal with public questions, and whenever public ophidon has pressed it to do at least some trifling good it has adroitly got up some new excitenent about th South, or some new, petty and uncalled for quarrel with the Democrats, with the sole view to engage the attention of the people and draw their minds away from public interests and real ques tions. The Republican party has in the general opinion fultilled its mission. Why should it not go to pieces? Why should any one of Its honest voters lourn over its disappearance? It may nut be dead at this moment, but it is rotten. It is the creature of railroad aid other cou poration and mtonopoly influences. Its most intimate relat ons are no longer with the people, but with the railroad and telegrapi kings, the Jay Goulds, Stanfords Hunting tons and others of that kin. who own and control its managers id chiefs. To say that such a party, which de liberately chooses Dorsev as one of its public manipulators and unblushingly gives him public dinners; which has protected and honored Robeson, which openly courts the frietdahip of. public plundcreras, which dueilng foul. ve. sheltered Brady in his star route job beres, and took part of hie gains io its camnpaign fun d aifter the exposures made of him in Congress; to say that ouch a party, which scarcely conceals its relations with a dozen lobbies,.and man~y of whose public men live by jobs--to say that this party, quarrelling no0w over tihe spoils, ought to live is absurd. It has lost eveni the respect for pubie op)inion whuich leads jobbers usually to divide their spoils in pri vate." It hopes that the sages at Albany will fail in any attempt to patch up a compromise, for :huis would be but a compromise of the public Interests. "This quarrel." it says, "should be welcomed by all honest mecn, wvhther tley are Republianus, Democrats or In dependents. Let It go on to the bitter end-the country is ready for a change ; it sees a change to be necessary'. Two thirds of the Republican voters would loyftilly join a new party organizationu, for they see that their own has fallen ito the control of Incapable intriguers and lobby'ists and their timid and self seeking followers." Last November when, in the general disgust over the defeat of Hancock, a number of newspapers and m-'l~gd statesmen read elaborge'funeral ora tions over the Demperatic party, THmE NIzws AND IEind) modestly express * ed a conviction that, although repuls ed, the Democratic party Was not de stroyed, and that in two years mo re it would rally with as much spirit and determination~ as ever, Among those * who "buried" the Democratic party were iloscoe Conkling and the New York Herald. Garfield has been Conkling is now struggIinig desperate ly himself to escape burial alive ; while the Herald sits on its p~erch and mer rily and unsy mpathetically pipes cheeri ly about the imminent and mauch to be desired death of Reptiblcanism. its contem'ptuous kick Is the most griev ous insult the Rlepublicau party has yet sustained. All the while the Demoer'ats are smiling smealy with nuot one trace on their garments of the dust of last November's battle. FOREL10x xIwM. -Franne and Turkey are on the brink of .

JURJ.8 OP BieONE AGES,' PiLVePn as Lasrgo as Ost lCehs--81ggs 'ho Woutld Hold everal Gallotis. (From the Now York Sun.) Prof, Marsh mays: "It is now en orally admitted by biologists who hav, Dado a study of vertebrates that thi birds have come down to us through th dinosaurs, and the close affinity of thi latter with recent struthlous birds wil acaroely be questioned." Buch are some of these bird-like creat eires that, perhaps twenty feet high wandered over the shoals of our neigh boring State of Connecticut. Kansas not a whit behind, produces birds witl charaqterlstics so remarkable that thej would bardly be believed in were nol the evidences before us. When firsi discovered they were thought to be fish. as; others considered them reptiles, bul it romained for soientiflo men to prove them actually birds. The backbone im like that in fishes, while the jaws are armed with teeth, 'and their powerful wings and formidable tooth would clear. ly seem to indicate a creature capable of prolonged flight and of a carnivorous nature. The most interesting specimen discovered is the hesperornia. It is a gigantic diver, and the jaw is set with a deep inferior groove, thickly lined with sharp-pointed teeth. The tooth have acute crowns, covered with enamel and supported onstout fangs. The ex ternal appearance of the poemaxillancs seems to indicate that these bones were covered with a horny bill, as in modern birds. The wings are rudimentary. Other birds have been found similar to these that were six feet high. But it remains for New Zealand to thoroughly rival Connecticut in its bird production. The gigantic Moa comes from there. Descriptions of it seem now like tales of the Arabian Nights, in which the roo figures. They grew to a beight of eighteen feet, were wingless, and their bones were larger than those of an ox. Their strength must have been remarkable. Strango to say, the remains of these monsters were found in a cave, which has been called the " cave of birds." Not only theso creat. ares, but the remains of the Maoris, or ancient inhabitants, were found with them, showing conclusively that the moa is one of the few animals that has become extinct within the memory of man. One of the most interesting birds that has become extinct within the memory :f man is a monster pigeon, the Didua ineptus. It was an inhabitant of the fauritius island, and at the time of its liscovery, in 1598, it was extremely corm non; but so effactually has it been aradicated that it is now only represent. 3d by a few pictures of the seventeenth sentury, and two heads, a foot, a few reathors, and some of its bones that are scattered about among the museums of 3ontinental Europe. From the pictures above mentiuon| and the descriptions of the early voyagers, It appears that thils giant among pigeons was a large, bulky bird, weighing seventy-five pounds. Its bill was long and strong, and the upper part of the mandible was so horny, mrched, hooked and forocious in appear. ance that its discoverers for a long time considered it a ground vulture. Its body terminated in a rounded extremity, be ing destitute of true tail feathers, having a taft of plumes to take the place. Those birds were so frequent that the Dutch seamen destroyed them to obtain the rounded pebbles that were found in their pouobes. The extinction of animals is supposed by many writers to have been caused by natural catastrophes, and the ease with which those animals were wiped out of existence may explain the disaap poarance of other forms in the early tor tiary period, in which man, though not proved to have existed, in all likelihood lid. Fifty years ago a large bird, forty noches in length, called the areaau, was occasionally mn4 j.iriouth a Bostona&~as quite common in the Ar~tOo regions. To-day not a ingle ipecimen Is known to exist in the world, maing become totally extinct, but by what means will always romamn an en. gins. From Madagascar we have the re nains of eggs that were found among muian Implements that were a .go~od ift for two men, and that, afjte being mi in two, were probably-i~sed as ves elm for holding waterg.-'jeir capacity be nig seoffhd The hen that laid monster eggs is unknown to sci nce, but must have been a wonderful speotacle. Two other birds, the soli. taire and nazarene, have also become extinot within the traditions of man, The former attained a weight of forty five pounds, had foot and beak like turkey, but in other respects resembled the didus above mentioned. The naza. rene had only three toes, and from its bones we judge that it was thrice ai large as the didus. Imagine a pigeon or a flock of them, as large as an ostrich with hugo hooked bills, waddling alont on short, stumpy legs covered wvith scales their bodies ornamented with flauntinj plumes, and perhmaps an idea of thee strange creatures may be realized. A oros for ready use is made by add ing to any quantity of glue commor whisky Instead of water. Put both to gether In a bottle, cork it tight, and so it for three or four days, when It will b fit for use without the application o heat, Glue thus prepared will keep fo years, and is at all times fit for use, ox cept in very cold weather, whenit shouki be set In warm water before using. T< obviate the difficulty of the stopper get ting tight by the glue drying in the mouth of the vessel, use a tin veseo with the cover fitting tight on the out cide to prevent the escape of the spiri by evaporization. A strong solution e: isinglass, made in the same manner, Is an excellent comont for loather. ,V4olo~f t ANUSMO.' The manysoript of the Gospels of SL. Matthew'and St. Mark, recently disco ered by two German scholars in the - palitoo of the Archbishop of Rossano, Is a made of purple parchment, and the ma 3 terial used throughout the writing is 3 silver, except in tho first three lines in 3 each gospel, where the letters are golden. There is only one other munusoript of this kind in existence containing any portion (if the New Testament, and it is in a mutilated condition, four of its leaves being in Londoji, six in Rome, two in Vienna, and thirty-three have been more recently discovered in the island of Pat mos. The present volume, on the other hand, consists of 188 leaves, and con tains the whole of the Gospel of St. Mat thew, and the Gospel of St. Mark down to the middle of the fourteenth verse of the sixteenth chapter. All the priteria used in judging of manuscripts indicate the end of the fifth or beginning of the sixth century.as the date of this. The manuscript is written in uncial charao ters,-with two columns in each page. There is no separation of words, no breathing, no accent, and only the slightest attempt at punctuation. There are capitals double the size of the un cials, and the Eusebian canons may hava been given, for it contains a portion of the letter of Eusebius to Carpianus, and there is good reason for conjecturing that this was followed by a table of the Eusebian canons. FXNAIx AND Nav. Many years ago, while in Ceylon, I lived in a house in "Slave Island," raised on a high platform. The steps up to the door had become loosened, and be hind them a colony of frogs had estab. lished themselves. One morning I watched a snike (a cobra) creep up, in sert its head into a crack, and seize a frog, whioh he then and there swallowed. But the crack that admitted the thin flat head and neck of the ophidian would not pernit of the same being withdrawn when the neck was swollen with the ad dition of the frog inside it. The snake tugged and struggled, but in vain, and after a series of futile attempts disgorged its prey and withdrew its head. But the eight was too tantalizing. Again the head was inserted in the crack and the coveted morsel swallowed, and again the vain struggles to withdraw were ro newed. I saw this repeated several times, till, gaining wisdom by experi. ence, the snake seized the frog by one leg, withdrew it from its coigne of vant &ge, and swallowed it outside.-Nature. LrGHITNING-Rons. Prof. Tait insists that the two main requisites of an effective lightning-rod are a Bharp point, or, better, a number of sharp points, lest one of them should be injured, and an exoellent connection with the ground. He does not think. that a. great - cross-section is required." In towns the "ground connection " is well ecourlt by attaolhng the rod to the water maine, at sea by uniting the con ductor to the copper sheathing or to some large plate of metal which is al ways submerged. If lightning-rods haepor conducting power, sharp points and intimate - connection with every large mans of metal in a building, and a good means of discharging into the earth the electrioity which they drain from the clouds, they form on ab solute pro'tection from any kind of ordinary lightning.
