The English prejudice against mssqiiersi'e
Ibslts is so deeply routed that it will never lie
removed. Public masquerades are not ]x:rmit-
ted in England. After the restoration no
attempt waa made to restore the conrt masqnes
and the few public affairs held in the Georgian
era were soon frowned down by pnblie opinion.
Of late years mnsqueradca have been disallow* d
by tlitf magistrates, and nobody regrets it. The
English say that intrigue and mystification are
essentials of Italian and Spanish masquerades,
and such smuscmeiita are, therefore, incom
patible with tho spirit nf the English people,

agree in regard ng a masquerade as the short

2,100 allots per minute continuously, and the
latest inventions enable it to be tired at any

thought that if a gun could he invented that
would do-tlie work of a hundred men Slid re

end would come very rapidly of every struggle.
The first Gatling guns were purchased by Ben
Butler and used by him at i’eterahurg. They
treated consternation, and ths news of them
went all over tho world. They are now need

quantities by foreign governments.

A Crow’s Intelligent*.
The sentinel system of the crows is
very complete. Their guards display a
remarkable degree of judgment and in
telligence. They will raise a cry for s
man with a gun long before he gets in
range of them, and they are equally
wary of a man who creeps toward them.
But a team may pass clote by withont
disturbing them, and they will even let
a ninn on foot pass unnoticed if he
hasn’t a gun and goes boldly about his
business. I hnd a curious example of
this when I first began to study their
habits. I commenced by trying to shoot
them, but though I hail passed them
close enough before, I could not get
near them after 1 began carrying a gun.
I went out with my gun every evening
for weeks. I crept behind fences and
lay m wait in the bushes, but could
never get a shot at them. One day,
however, I struck upon a plan which 1
have since operated very successfully.
I held my gun close to my side, the bar
rel running down the side of my leg,
and walked boldly down the road with
out taking any notice of (hem. With
their usual disregard for travelers, they
lot me pass close up to them, when I
turned suddenly ana fired. Now I can
•hoot a crow whenever I want to.
