Dr. T. S. Hopkins, who adds a good knowledge of ornithology, to his other stock of general information,says it is a gallinnell. If you know what a gallinnell is, you know more than we do. Mr. Hal Morrison,the Atlanta artist, has been spending sometime in the neighborhood of St. Marks, procuring specimens of fish and birds for his brush. Speaking of this bird, which he found in that locality, Mr. Morri son, says: “It is found in only two places on earth. One is in Louisiana and the nth erin Florida. There is no existing spe cies that is closely akin to it, and those found now perhaps are the remnant of a nearly extinct kind.” L. Schmidt.

Take your Lest girl around to the Tec Cream Parlor. The Alliance and Democracy. Grover Cleveland’s latest utterance is worthy of the leader of the democ racy. His review of the principles of the Farmer's alliance is at once trenchant and inspiring, fie stamps them as being essentially democratic, and wel comes the great army of agriculturists into the fight which is the heritage of the democratic party. Democracy springs from the people. It represents, in its last analysis, the man between plow-handles, whether the field he furrows borders on the great lakes, or is laved by the waters of the gulf. The farmers of the United ■States, blinded and misled by tricky politicians, areawaking to their rights, the protection of their homes and the happiness of their children. 'This de termination fines expression in rural organizations, in which the masses pro test against the classes. It is democracy underanother name. The great heart of the people is aroused, and, touched by the magic of Cleveland's words, is strengthened for the battle of 1892.—Constitution. Read the declaration of principles of the Alliance elsewhere, and then read what Mr. Cleveland has to say of them. He touches a chord which will vibrate among the sons of toil, from Maine to Alaska. The farming classes will star.d by Grover Cleveland, 1892. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU :—at— R. Thomas Jr’s* 126 Broad Street.
