I he Voices of Uirtls.
“Do the voices of the birds correspond
in their registers to those of human be¬
ings?”
“Decidedly; although this lias never
before been stated. For instance, the
nightingale is a rich contralto, the mock¬
ing bird a soprano sopracuto, ihe wood
thrush a line soprano, the skylark a curi¬
ous combination of the mezzo and the
soprano, with the odds in favor of the
mezzo. The stake driver is. a basso pro-
fundo. His notes are deep and sonorouS.
and his song is: ‘Punk-a-gonk! A-gcnR-
a-vvunck.’ The cedar bird or the vvax-
wing lisps. He tries to sing in all parts
and canot sing in any. The bobolink is
a musical hybrid of meters. His is a
jingling song. He is the only bird whom
the mocking bird can’t imitate. If a
bobolink be shut up in the same cage
with a mocking bird the mocking bird
will not infrequently die within three
months of a broken heart, because of his
failure lo imitate the bobolink. The
winter wren is a crystaline eontratino
tenor. The rapidity of its song delies
lightning and consequently analysis.
The blue bird, as Mr. Beecher said,
always seems to be about to sing some¬
thing, but never quite gets there. The
vulture is the musical discord of the bird
family. Its voice, which is even move
hoarse than that of the blue jay, is per¬
ceptibly- vitiated by its intemperate hab¬
its. The vulture is the drunkard of the
birds. The bell bird of Florida has a
voice whose gamut of sounds represents
the higher and lower tones of a peal of
bells. The voice of this bird can lie
bear'd distinctly for three-fourths of a
mile. The voice of the oriole sounds as
though the bird were singing Tuscan
Latin. The voice of the wood dove is
like a flute. The red bird’s voice re¬
sembles a piccolo. The scraping voice of
the whet saw resembles so exactly the
sound of a saw at a log mill that when it
scrapes its song out at night more than
one sawyer has been waked from bis
sleep supposing that the mill was in
motion. The canary has a zither voice.
The catbird imitates a violin. The
monotonous voice of the blue jay is like
a Scotch bagpipe.”—New York Evening
Sun.

Scamlinavians i.i (ho l aitctl States.
A series of articles on different nation¬
alities in the United States forms one of
the unique features of the current vol¬
ume of The Chav.tauquaii. In a late
number Albert Shaw discusses the Scan¬
dinavians, and gives the following in his
valuable computation of statistics: More
people have left Norway, Sweden and
Denmark during the last seven years to
make their homes in the United States
than during the entire previous existence
of our country. With one-fortieth of
the whole population of Europe the
Scandinavian countries furnish nearly
one twqnty-fourtli of the aggregate
European emigration cf the United
States during the six decades from 1820
to 18,90. Since 1880 wo have admitted
in round numbers 4,000,000 European
recruits to our shores, of whom about
500,000 have been Scandinavians. That
is to say, we are during the current de¬
cade drawing 12 1-2 per cent, of our new
foreign population from a group of kin¬
dred nations which have only 2 1-2 per
cent, of the population of Europe.—Pub¬

“Sweet is the revenge gifted, especially to
women,” said but naughty,
Lord Byron. Surely he was in bad hum

there are complaints that only women

them down to early graves. There is
hope for those who suffer, no matter how
sorely, or severely,in Di. R. Y. Pierce’s

Mr. Chairman and survivors of
Griffiu Light Guards.
Your committee to whom was
trusted the duty of preparing
ble resolutions in regard to the
of our lamented commander
leave to report as follows;
It will be remembered by all
the survivors of the Griffin
Guards, that upon the
of our command thirty two
ago by that band of heroes and
tlemea who assembled for that
poso that when the all
question of the selection of an
tive, who was fitted to be the
and commander of the
was discussed that with a
which in view of the excellent
al from wjrich to se’ect was
ful, every finger pointed to
W. Mangham, the handsome
dashing youug man of his time,
lho man who had above al!
the character aud capacity to make
success of the undertaking.

war, his title to the command of

questioned, because he

You will also remember that
the “Jays of war” were
loose iu our land and ihe time
come when the ornaments of tbe
form of peace was changed for
rugged and practical garb of the
dier of the Confederacy, and
the dress parade gave way to
stern real'ies of active warfare,
bo continued at his post, and led
command forth “to do or die for
native land.’
For twelve months lie
in immediate command of our

tho corps gave to it a reputation
all that was soldierly second to
of no command iD this
land.
Afler this demonstration of
cipncity as an organizer and
mamler of men, it was no
to us that he was selected to
command of the whole

It is pleasant hereto hr.^t.

Thtia has Samuel W. Maugham
