Oar people long since have

and have waged a war against

ly, they seem to thrive on

It seems that iu England his own
country, he has been outlawed and
the English farmer agrees that he
possesses every bad quality charged
to him. They are taking vigorous
measures to rid themselves of the
sparrows.
The New York Tribune says: “In
various counties, but especially in
Cheshire, boys are making wages oat
of the prize money that is paid by
the authorities-, 6 cents a dozen for
heads and eggs. The Farmers’ Club
of London has stated the cose against
the sparrow, and nobody has ventur
ed to make a reply. He is quarrel

crocus bed to the green pea-vines.
He diives away the really insectiver
oos birds, and then lives at the ex¬
pense of the garden and kitchen,
leaving the caterpillars and other
pests to increase and multiply as
they never did before. It is serious
ly stated that the sparrow causes a
loss to agricultural England of from
forty to fifty millions dollars per
year.”

and pngnacious little plague. Let

Literary and Dramatic.
The new bsok by Robert Louis Stevenson
is about to bo published by the Scribners
under the title of “The Black Arrow.
A Tale of the two Roses." Before purchas¬
ing it, our readers are warned that this is the
same story that is being tun in the Constitu¬
tion and other papers as “The Outlaws o f
Tunstall Forest.” It is a very nice piece of
mediaeval fiction, but is not worth reading
twice.
We have just received a letter from Chica¬
go requesting us to state that Miss Lilias
Lewis, “a oelebrated artiste of great genius,’’
with a “very large and very excellent com¬
pany” and with “magnificent; costumes,”
will play in Griffin next season. Miss Lilian
and her company will be heartily welcome,
and their magnificent costnineslwiil look well
