■ With reverence and regret we repeat to-day
l Sir Ector’s words of sorrow for tho great Sir
I Lancelot, and apply them to the man who died
'• yesterday—the noblest knightof our generation.
( Tho liero of the Arthurian legends as he Isy
dead in Joyous-Gard witn the record of a life
made splendid by great deeds, might have rd-
, vived other than kindly, or ennobling recoliec-
j tiocs in the moarner’s mind; for the wronged
king and the breaking up of the goodly fellow
ship of tho Ronnd Table could not be forgotten,
but lay like shadows upon the dead knight But
in the life of Robert Edmnnd Lee, there was
no reproach of man or woman; his deeds were
dimmed by no wrongs done or duty unfulfilled;
there was no stain upon his honor and no nr-
righteous blood upon his bands. He was indeed
a good knight, noble of heart and strong of pur
pose, and both a soldier and a gentleman. The
age that knew him if not the ago of chivalry,
wi! yet be remarkable for having produced in
him a man as chivaliic as any that lives in his
tory. He, too. was one, and the greatest one,
of a goodly fellowship that was broken up and
scattered ahont the world. Somo of these South
ern knights have gone before him, and with him
departs the last remnant of tho cause for which
they fought and the strength that so long up
held it.
In every pnrticula r he possessed the requisites
of a true soldier. He was brave; his whole
military record and lifo-loDg scorn of danger
alike bear testimony to bis bravery. He wa3
wise; his great successes against great odd*,
and bis almost constant anticipation of the
enemy’s movements were proofs of hiswisdom.
He was skillful; his forced marches and un
expected victories assert his skill. He was pa
tient and unyielding; his weary straggle against
the mighty armies of the North and his stem
defence of Richmondforever preserve the mem
ory of his patience and resolution. He was
gentle aud just; the soldiers who fought neder
him and who came alive out of the great fight,
remembering and chetiihing the memory of the
man, can one and all, testify to his gentleness
end his justice. Above all be was faithful;
when be gave np his sword there was no man
in his own ranks or in those of the enemy that
doubted bis fai'h, or believed that be bad not
d no all that mortal could do for tbe cause for
which be had made such a noble straggle.
■When the last chance was gone, and all hope
was at an end, the old hero bowed to a higher
will than his own, and accepted the fate of the
Sanlh with calm grandeur. Bat he was done
with all his wars. He could never take the
field again; he knew that it was not for him to
see the act of secession upheld by the South
and recognized by tbo North, and after tbe fail
ure of his own countrymen he was too old and
war-worn to draw his sword in a foreign quftr-
reL Ho passed from the fever of tbe camp
into the quiet of the cloister, and, cs the Presi
dent of the Washington College in Virginia,
spent the remaining portion of his sixty-three
Yews in working for the good of his native
State.
We cannot express all the truth that could be
told about Lee, nor can we do justice to his
worth and fame, but perhaps the few words of
Sir Ector are tbe best after alL He was a good
knight, a true gentleman;’ knowing this, let us
leave him with fame and posterity; with the
rest, the Resurrection and the Life.
Jolm Hnincy Adam* on “Disloyally”
anil ••Rebel On traces.”
From a recent speech delivered by this gen
tleman, we extract as follows:
Wnat is their favorite charge against all who
differ with them? "They are disloyal.” What
is that ? Well, I will tell you. Loyalty is a
word derived from old fondal times, and ex
presses the relation of the slave to his master,
the subjection of the serf to his lord, tho re
gard of the vassal for his king. The citizen is
free, the subject is loyal. Loyalty Is no new
thing. It was rampint here before the battle
of Bunker’s Hill. Then, ss now, the rich and
high were most “loyal.” The “loyalists.” how
ever, disliked the climate after the “Decora
tion.” They are remembered ns Tories now.
Generals Warren and Putnam were “rebels”
about the same time. Let the negro, if he
likes, be loyal to his carpet-bagger, and tbe
office holder to his pa'ron, »nd the Radical pol-
! itician to his “government,” but as for ns, we
j v.i-1 be client with the old f iphioned.wais of
' onr fathers, aud swear with them “to the best
I of oar ability to preserve, protect, aud defend
' tho Const!uli m of the United States.”- These
| are not icy notions, genil-moa ; they wore the
i notions of Thomas Jefferson. According to
! him each man has aright-limited only by his
1 neighbor’s equal rights to his life, to his liberty
aod to pursue hi i own bappinaw in his own way.
These wexo righto which bo maintained to be
inherent, inalienable, and not derivative or held
by any service. All governments can do is to
see that these righto are not interfered with, or
tbe man's innocent, free action hampered. The
best government is that which governs least.
Tho best governed are those who govern them
selves. My friends, exactly that is onr notion
' to day. All that is necessary to dispose of all
[ these questions which the paternal meddling and
■ managing of tho party of all tho morals has
i raised, is to apply tho simple Democratic test to
; them, and mark tho result. Do you ask mo how
j to deal with tho South? Tho Democratic doe-
I trine is contained in a queer, old, rusty, and
! forgotten pamphlet. Let mo read it to you :
; “Tho people of this commonwealth havo the
. sole and exclusive right of governing themselves
' as a free, sovereign and independent State; and
| do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise nnd
' enjoy overy power, jurisdiction, and right which
I is not or may not hereafter be by them expressly
delegated to the United States of America in
Congress assembled.” And if that is treason—
* as I suppose it is nowadays—why, it is high
. lime that the book which contains it bo burned
by the common hangman Itisontitled, “ADeo-
Iaration of the Eights of the Inhabitants of the
Commonwealth of Massr.chnsatls.” That, gentle
men, is pure disloyal Democracy, and nothing
, cl-.c. and we stivk to it still. But," then n colored
gentleman, theother night at Fanenil Hall, told
us that there were “outrages” uttbeSoutb. Well,
I should think it very probable. I only wonder
there aro not more. It must be amean-spirited,
people that would not grow ontrageons under
such treatment. I am sure MusjacLuHeito peo
ple were rough enough when a similir attempt
was made to reconstruct them in I7C5. For an
infringement of their liberties, not ono-hnn-
dredtb part as gros3 as that perpetrated on Geor
gia, they bnrat down tbo house of Governor
Hutchinson, and plundered and rifled and
robbed the honses of the Register of the Admir-
Napoleon, was one showing the future of the
Emperor’s mistress. This paper presents in
the form of a legal document detailing the mar-
riage settlement of Elizabeth Aon Harriet,
Oountess of Beauregard, France, of the chateau
Beauregard, near Versailles, better known as
Miss or Mistress Howard. The deed was made
out on tho occasion of the nhion by marriage
of this lady with Clarence Trovellyan, in the
month of May, in the year 1854. Two sched
ules which are attached to the paper make
known that the Countess possessed XI 17,000
sterling in English and other foreign securities,
including the hum of $90,0G0 in Pennsylvania
(United States) railway debentures, $74,000 in
Sl Lonis and Cincinnati bonds, besides another
and additional sum of X59,000 sterling, which
is described as “other stocks aod funds and se
curities,” and distinguished as the “settled
fund.” She had besides divers other invest
ment . shares and securities, with jowels and
other person il estate, and a landed property in
France daring tbo later years of her life.
PLATE AND JEWELS.
The plate and jewels, with the property
therein last mentioned, had not been scheduled
or valued, but were distinguished from the
bonds and cash entries under their proper ti
tles.
A FORTUNE.
The residuary estate was, as is shown by the
deeds, “of great extent;" but leaving it ont of
tbe estimate of the gross value of the property,
the specific items of her fortnne, os described
and set forth, amonnted to the startling sum of
ono hundred and seventy-six thousasd pounds
sterling.
This vast amount must have been amassed
by this Lady Beauregard wilhia the brief poriod
of two and a half years between the 2d of
December, in the year 1851, and the 15th of
May, 1854—for it is notorious as a fact that
down to tbe period of the accomplishment of
the coup d’etat ilie pecuniary circumstances of
Lonia Napoleon Bonaparte were very straitened.
the HEiit
Tho deed of settlement contains a provision
to the amount of twenty thousand pounds
sterling in favor of Martin Constantine Hergett,
entitled andcalled in France Count Beauregard,
a eon of the Countess, bnt the name of his
father is not stated. It is pretty well known in
England, however, that this Martin is a son of
Jem Mason, the celebrated steeple chase jockey
rider.
THE COUNT » Y POSTMASTER.
Donn Platt the Ytcflm of Daniel Piatt.
Lake George Cor. Cincinnati Com. J
This summer’s rush of people played sad hav-
oe with the mails. A poor old postmaster ac-
cus'omed to half a dozen letters a week and a
fair lot of newspapers, suddenly finds himself
overwhelmed with mail matter. B igs tumble
in on him filled to bnrsiiDg. Ho at firot at
tempts to sort and distribute the contents;
then, worried to death by the roir of voices de
manding their letters, be tnrns tbe bm-in.-ss
over to tbe clerks and messengers of hotels aod
boarding houses. The totters in this way come
after a time to tho wrong people, but the jour
nals are never heard of. I had been at La’io
George some two weeks without gt ttiog any mail
matter, al hough I had sent over most every day.
Wearied out at last, I went myself. I found a
little sandy-haired, heavy jawed, full-stomached
man pegging away at an old boot on the cob-
tor’s bench. I asked this industrious son of
Ss. Crispin for tbe postmaster.
‘ I’m him,” responded the shoemender.
He might be a Sam or a him, but I looked
incredulously upon the fact asserted or referred
to of postmastershin. He continued to drive
in the pegs, whistling as shoemakers are wont
to whistle, in a waxy way, a tune that, when
accompanied by tho proper words, refers to
some sort of eccentricity of the weasel, when
popping, whatever they may be. I looked Bt
this vegetable production with carroty bair and
reddish cheeks, as he pegged and popped, and,
finding that he in'ended taking no further no
tice of me, I mildly sngges’ed that if he were
the postmaster I would be glad to get my tot
ters and papers.
“What’s yonr name ?” ha asked, suspending
tho whistled popping of the weasel, but going
on with exasperating work.
I responded by giving tbe cognomen, and
was told brii fly in words to wit:
“Ain’t noihing for yon,” and then he tooknp
the extraordinary weasel. I remonstrated, and
a rid that there mnU be some mistake.
“Well,” he said, “go look for yonrself.
There’s the V's ”
I did asdireoted, and found eighteen letters
and a pile of newspapeis.
“What the devil do you mean by saying I
had no m iil r
“Is that yonr name ?” he asked, coolly.
“Cerlainiy it is.”
“Well, I thought it was Daniel Pratt.”
I was rapidly resolving into an indignation
meeting, with divers resolutions, and a strong
tendency to punch somebody’s head.
“Yon thought that nameDaniel Pra»t, did yon?
Well, it strikes me that it would be well for you
to leara reading and wri'ing before playing tbe
devil in a postoffice.”
“Well, stronger,” be responded, suspending
both musio and work, “ef I had such an out
landish name as yonr’n, I’d go back and be a
baby, so as to bo christened over, I would.
I found that the littlo red headed woodpecker
was getting the better of tho controvcr-y, and
so, prudently withdrew. He had hit me, unwit
tingly, in a tendar place. But I did not like him
eny the better for that With somo indignation,
I s'ta’cd my grievances at the hotel, and an old
frequenter of Lako Georgo told me that the
postmaster was one of the features of tho place.
Ho has been in office from an early day, and is
a man of varied accomplishments. He was
postmaster, magistrate, shoe-maker, and at one
time kept astnd horse.
There is a tradition afloat that, years ago, he
found the law that required him to be in his
office every day very embarrassing, so ho com
promised by putting nil tho totters in his hat,
and canyiDg tho post-office aronnd with him.
The searcher after mail.matter would have to
run tho post-office down, and when found, tho
obliging officer would pour the letters upon the
floor or ground, and let tho curious individual
search for himself. When the loiters got to
greasy and soiled as not to be legible, he would
forward them to Washington as dead letters.
There is no use complaining of the short
comings and deficiencies of the official, for he
cannot be turned out. There is no one in or
about Caldwell willing to be bis successor. Andy
Job:.B-jn tried to make the Poslma‘ter at OaUl-
well understand his policy. A correspondence
sprang np in reply to a circnlarissiiedby Andy’s
Postmaster General. But this high function

Jersey Cider and Champagne,
From the Aeicark Adeertiser. \ ’•
Those engaged in the businoss say that the
quantity made this year will exceed the total
amount that his been made within the last
twelve years; and judging from the amount
tnrned off at some of the largest presses near
Newark, ibe whole product in Essex county can
not fall short of 1,000,000 gallons.
This, of course, is the result of an enormous
crop of apples. They lie now in the orchards,
piled np by the cord.
The cider made in this vicinity during the
season, np to about the first of the present
month, has been put in large casks for vinegar,
or sold in Newark to housekeepers, grocers, and
saloons in small casks. From this time forward,
however, the bulk of the crop will be prepared
for a beverage, stored for bottling or sold to
wine makers. Our largest manufacturers have
more orders than they can fill for pale'cider,
as that makes the best champagne. All cider
for drinking is allowed, to. feemest, and just
when tbe fermentation ceases it is racked off
ioto another cask. If allowed to stand after

Dark olouds are lowering over fair France,
yet the French cannot forego entirely their in
born love for witty sayings. An excellent

making the ronnd of the country, viz: "Napo

On September 27th, 1681 the French General
Montelar under pretence of a review collected
an army of 30,00o men near Strasbourg; on
September SOtb, 1681 this free German Impe
rial city in times of profound peace was taken
possession of by Montelar in the name of
Louis QnatoTze, sometimes called Le Grand.
On September 23tb, 1870, Strasbourg, so fa
mous in German song and poetiy, opened her
gates again to the Germans, after having con
tinued .a member of the French Empire for 189
years.
The Emperor of Russia hns bestowed upon

There have been -rarious p«ace rumors afloat,
fermentation it sours. It goes through the rack- intimating that the Prussian government would
ing process three or four times till all the sedi- relinquish its claims for the cession of French
alty and of the Comptroller of the Cnstoms in’
Boston. And, my friends, famye^y much afraid j could not understand the
• policy. At last it reached a point where the
they would do it again, loyal as they are, in a
like case. It is always so in such cases. Ireland
! is full of “ outrages,” Poland was famous for
i “outrages,” and Hungary was so outrageous
that Austria has been compelled to restore her
J constitutional rights to her in order to stop the
| “outrages.” Of course there are outrages in the
subjec: States. I know of one myself, a gross out-
' rage; indeed, very nearly as infamous an outrage
as over was committed upon a free people, the
great, original and supreme outrage—reconstruc
tion.

This was a strong sentiment and spelled with
great vigor. Andy got in a profound rage, and
ordered the office to be given to a new man.
But the new man conld not be found. No one

orthograpbist of a profane turn was permitted
to remain and will remain so long as the Lord
permits him to cumber tho sandy soil about

ment is extracted. Fish sounds and isinglass
in a state of solution at the last racking give it
the requisite clearness for champagne, and con
vert it into what is known as clarified cider.
To get champagne, all that is necessary is to
give the cider the quality of grape jnice, which
contains sugar, carbonic acid and alcohol.—
Granulated sugar is dissolved, and the solution,
with a little alcohol, is pnt in the cask. Then
an apparatus similar to a soda water fountain is
set to work. A copper cylinder, containing
whiting or chalk, has over it a little globe con
nected with it by a tube. The globe contains
vitriol, which, being dropped npon the whiting
in the cylinder, generates carbonic aoid gas.
Anothor cilinder, with a crank, receives the
cider, and the gas being lot in through a tube,
tbe crank to turned and the gas thoroughly
mingled with the cider; after which it passes
through a long pipe into bottles, stood in a
machine which forces in the corks without ad
mitting the air. Tbe mixture, after receiving
proper French labels, is neatly packed in bas
kets and carted to Broadway and other stores,
where it is retailed from $3 upwards per quart
bottle. Cheap European wines are generally
mixed with the cider in this process; and an
immense quantity of champagne manufactured
in this country is made from Rhine wine and
cider.
A well known and reliable bottler in Newark
states that he was solicited a few years since to
enter into this business, and made acquainted
with the whole secret, bnt d-clined. A. thirty
gallon cask of cider at 90 cents per gallon cost
ing $G, by this process yields in champagne at
$3 per quart, $860, with a trifling deduction
for loss, labor, bottles, eto. Reliable men en
gaged in bottling cider sty that it is their be
lief that nine tenths of the champagne drank in
this country is manufactured from our native
cider. La>ge cargoes of poor cider are taken
to England, sugared, mingled with bad low-
priced wines, and receive an infusion of log
wood or other coloriNg matter, aad come back
to us in neatly bottled port and other colored
wines. Wine that becomes dead and sonr is
fixed up by mixing in cider, which produces
fermentation. This business is carried on ex
tensively in this immediate vicinity, Brooklyn,
New York, eto.

OEEMAN LOSSES IN THE SIEGE.
A correspondent at Ostend Rajs the folal loss
of the army of Prince Frederick Charles from

000 men by battle and disease. The army of
Frederick Charles consisted, on the 20th of Oc

Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth army corps, iritji two
divisions of Landwtlir attached to the Ninth
army corps, miking a total of 140,000, artillery

German armies in France.
The course of events in France and Italy are
inspiring the Italian patriots with hopes of re
covering Nice, ceded to France after the peace
of Villafraaca. In the city of Nice the popula
tion aro growing bolder in their anti-French and
pro-Italian demonstrations. This was particu
larly tbe oise, when at an election of officers
for the Gardes Nationales all Frenchmen and
Fronch sympathizers were entirely excluded.
A popular meeting called to nominate candi
dates for the coming municipal elections, after
having prevented all French speakers from ad
dressing the assembly, elected only patriotic
native Italians. On the following day the pre
fect had a list of official candidates posted on
tho walls; bnt an address of the national party
advised the people not to elect the candidates
of the government, but to remain true to the
cause of Laly. Thereupon the authorities de
clared tbe city in a state of siege and sent for
several thousand French troops from Antibes.
It to a remarkable phenomenon that the Re
publican party in Italy is strongest and most
powerful in all States formerly subjected to the
rate of tho Papal See. Bologna, Rimini, Ra
venna are tho centers of the Italian Republi
cans. Rome h'-S hardly boon oconpied by the
Italian troops when the same symptoms are to
be observed there. Several revolutionary up
risings have only been prevented by the vigi
lant attention of the government. Negotiations
referring to the position of the Pope towards
the Italian Government continue. The Roman
Princes of the Church are said to be animated
by conciliatory feelings in regard to the King
dom of Italy. The Government is to propose
guarantees for the spiritual independenco of
tne Pope, and the payment of a liberal civil
list, while all powers are to be invited to offer
suggestions promising tho free intercourse of
the Supremo Pontiff with the Catholics living
in their fiominions. They are likewise to fix
their sharo towards the support, of tho Papal
Court Pius IX has appointed the Cardinals
Gaidi, Silvostri and Di Pielro to prepare drafts
respecting tho modus vivondi with Italy.
It is, therefore, positively understood that
the Pope has no intention of leaving Rome to
oeek an asylum in America or on tlio Isle of
Malta, as has been repeatedly reported We
think that, freed from all political cares, seated
in the Vatican as the acknowledged spiritual
head of the whole Catholic world, PiusIXoffors

A meeting of a newly organized agricultural
dob was held a second time at the above named
place on the 8th nit., the object of which is to
promote the intorest of and insure a support for
farmers—employer and employed. At the first
call of some of the prominent fanners to meet
for the purpose of creating such an association,
twenty-four names were enrolled, and at the
second meeting the nnmber was increased to
thirty-one. The offioers of this club are among
Houston’s first men—Dr. L, B. Alexander, Pres
ident; George M. Feagin and H. Frederick,
E«qs., Vice Presidents, and George Hi White,
Esq., Secretary and Treasurer. These leading
planters and influential men have wisely formed
the determination to make a radical change in
the present plan of farming, mutally agreeing
among themselves, and pledging their utmost
endeavors to persnade others, to reduce these
wide extended cotton fields and plant exten
sively in corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and
peaa. Mr. Feagin, at the last meeting, moved
that some moans be adopted “to remove the
oorn crib and meat bouse of every man in Hous
ton from the city of Macon.” . This motion,
proceeding from a man renowned as well for
tratb, justice and benevolence as for long ex
perience in agriculture, received & hearty re
sponse; and though oar company contained
none of the scions of Cicero, yet it were indeed
entertaining to hear thelaconie, common-sense,
practical speeches in defense of the motion of
Mr. Feagjn. And, snrely, defense is not an ap
plicable term, as each member exhibited the
greatest zeal and alacrity to . express his views
and use his mite of argument for curtailing the
cotton crop. Each one firmly declared' that for
three years past he had, pecuniarily, been on
the decline, notwithstanding the most rigid
economy, and that unless a speedy change was
effected this country would be impoverished
and the cry of bread re-echo through the land.
They correctly expressed the idea that the
amount of raw material is too enormous, and
must needs bo diminished in order that the
white man and negro be insured a support in
raising cotton.
What has produced this startling reaction in
the cotton market? What is it that forces the
farmer to' unavoidable, total loss, when the
combined prospects of the spring promised such
handsome rewards for a twelvemonth of unre
mitting labor and annoyance with the freed-
man ? ’Tis the overwhelming amount of cotton
now flooding the market, having been promptly
prepared -to meet tho draft. Aud it to aa re
markable as true, that as the prices of cotton
decrease, the prices tif provisions as • regularly
increase. “Why," asks the almost despondent
farmer, “do you rise so much on yonr corn and
bacon, Mr. Merchant?” “The war, the war,”
6ays ho. “Ah,” sighs the farmer, “the Tennes
seean, Ohioan and Kentuckian. are folly, aware
of the condition of tho South for supplies; they
know we cannot suffer our wives and children
to starve, that our energies have been applied
to tho cultnre of cotton, while the hog and
cornfield have been neglected. Knowing onr.
situation, therefore, they unmercifully double,
triple the prices of cam and bacon." Such
ideas were presented and freely .discussed, and
each one gavo a vote to begin themselves, and
to induce others to adopt the systemof planting
one third cotton, the remainder in, something to
live on. A Mr. King, a small farmer, felt very
8oasibly the less li9 must sustain this winter,
aud with genuine feeling,- expressed some very
truthful and amusing remarks. He said, “Man*?
years ago, gentlemen, the caterpil'ar .did bis
level best to eat np our cotton, stalk and nil.
It was as common as eating soup with a splinter
to hear wo farmers talking about the ranious
condition of our crops, nnd.every man sugges

present at thelast rntfetihg. On consulting, I
find they all heartily agree to the measures

Houston is remarkable for being a cotton ooun-

been solely devoted to their cotton; on the pro
ceeds of which they are totally dependant for
supplies another year; you cannot doubt, then,
that the recent, distressing decline in the mar
ket is plainly depicted in the countenance of
every farmer. - Hundreds of bales will be
shipped to market, the inevitable prey of tho
draft. Fertilizers were, vary extensively ap

A Wonderful I’arruL
From the Detroit Free Frees.)
The recent demise of a somewhat noled par-
rot, of the g*ay African species, very mnch to
the sorrow of his ownely a resident of Oongrow
street east, recalls some anecdotes of tbe bird
that we have heard related by the owner, that
wonld soem almost incredible were they not
well attested. Among others the following good
one will, perhaps, suffice to prove the wonder
ful sagacity of Polly when he chose to be smarfc
His owner was teasing him playfully one day,
when Polly canght one of hto fingers and bit it
quite severely. Scolding him a little in response,
he used the words “yon old rip”—he avers tho
first and only time he had done so. Some days
after this occurrence, some lady acquaintances
of the family called to see and make PollyVoo-
quaintance. as they had heard of him and hto
exploits. Of course hto mistress, having beard
the object of the visit, was quite anxious to
have him show all his good points. Bringing
him into the parlor, she commenced her efforts
at an introduction to the ladies by talking to
and coaxing him to throw off hisnatnral reserve
in company and show some of his acquirements.
But all this would not answer to induce him to
make a motion or otter a syllable. Hie mistress
not succeeding, the ladies undertook, by ca
resses and ooaxing, to draw him out, but Polly
sat back upon his perch without an apparent
shadow of interest in the affair. At last tho
ladies, becoming tired of their efforts, roee to
depart, wh6U one of them, indignant at hto
treatment, went up to hto cage to hid him good- ' w V 1 **
bye, with a few words in condemnation of his ‘ j 'to
treatment of ladies who had called expressly to ci
see him. 3 Polly listened patiently to the lecture^ .'if
and when it was finished, ran across his perch,
pnt his head through the bars until his bill was
in close proximity to her face and then, in th» , ;
loudest, plainest, and most indignant tones
roared out, “Yon old rip!” “Yon old rip!”
A stampede from the parlor was the instants- .
neons effect of that speech.
The most striking pecnliarity of this parot
was that he had no sing song phrases to be con
stantly cepeated whether in or ont of place, bnt
his talking, both answers and questions, were
apropos to the time. As an illustration, he sl- *’.rf
ways recognized his master’s step, and would in
stantly call out to him, “How do you do, old
boy?" and being answered “Pretty well,” hto , , ' •
response was “All right.” On seeing hto owner
patting on his hat and coat to leave the honse,
he was sure to call for the parting salute with
“Good-bye, old boy ! Come and kiss me, good
bye..’” Identifying and always calling by name
every member of the family without any mis
takes, is an instance that we have never heard su
related before of any of the bird species. If
wanting his food, or to see hto mistress, he .,
would address the servant, ‘‘Bridget, where’s
Mrs. H.?" If the reply was, “Goue oat,” ha
would then call for any olher member of tha
family that wonld answer his purpose, and al
ways correctly by name, and when they were - ,
not preaenL .
These are but a very small sample of hto say
ings and doings. His vocal, and especially Ui
imitative powers, were equally well developed. -•
He would whistle a part of tbe Silver Lake
Waltz as well a3 the human voice could rends*,'',
it. Laughing, crying, and the perfect imita- -
tion of other birds and 'animals, and peculiar «to
voices of all kinds seemed to be bis favorite
pastime. * '
Sleep Produced by Chloral.
The following is taken from the Boston Jour
nal of Chemistry: We have not Keen any ob
servations regarding the nature of sleep HL»*<f
suiting from the use of the hydrate of chloral^ r
the new anresthetie, jet it is a poict of mnch
interest aud worthy o'f study, in the numerous
experiments made in our own case, and from
experiments made npon others, we are led to
think that the sleep is peculiar, certainly unlike
natural sleep in its general influence npon tha
system. It is doubtful if the recuperative ac- J*
tion npon the brain in a large degree corres
ponds wi'h it. Tbe curtain of the mind seema - -*
to be fully drawn ; there is no dreamy condi
tion, nothing akin to somnolentia, in the sleep '
produced by chloral. The insensibility, al-
though apparently entire, is less profound than
the healihfal, natural sleep. A slight noise ;,,
awakens the patient, and the wakefulness is
perfect, although it may lost only for a moment.
At one time; having taken thirty grains of tha
agent, and fallen asleop, a loose blind moved
by tbe wind, thumped against the honse. The
awakening was instantaneous; no lingering
drowsiness was felt, and yet in perhaps half fc $
minute insensibility was resumed: Tne sleep
has no interval, or season of insupportable: j
drow.-iness ; there is no swaying to and fro, b«- .
tween the conscious and unconscious condition; ;
sleep comes like sadden darknesi« hen a bright .
light is ex'.irguished in a room in the night
time. If sleep is simply the sespension of the
operations of tho senses, if it is nothing but
unconsciousness, then we have no difficulty in
defining the exact influence of chloral; bnt WS >
incline to. the opinion that in natural stoop L
there to a peculiar physical or mental c -uditioo-
exibting independent of the insensibility. The
morning after a night of sleep induced by
chloral, there is no headache, no nausea, moe
unpleasant feelings whatever, but an indefi
nable sense of lightness, and exhilaration which
is, not like that produced by stimulants. Tho
impression is that there has been a pleasant un
consciousness without or with imperfect sleep.
The body and the mind are refreshed, but not;
in kind or degree, like that which results fram
natnml, healthful slumber. It may be thai
chloral docs not positively prodnee sleep, bnt a
prolonged peculiar unre'hesia, which serve*
many of tho purposes of t-leep. Manifestly,
wo know at present but little regarding tho
precise nature of the effects produced upon tho -*
l unctions of the mind and body by this drag.
We know enough, however, to feel convinced
that it is a most important addition to materia
medica, and that it is better calculated to re
lieve a larger class of suffering patients than,
any agent hitherto suggested. ’ tJ •' -*
