A Thunderbolt in Senola.
Sbkoia, Ga., June 29.—A tremendous
thunderbolt struck the large residence
of t. R. Brantly about noon yesterday,
passing on both sides of tho building,
reversing the lightning rode nnd teoring
swsy one corner of the building, scat
taring plastering aud weatherboarding
promiscuously. His daughter of ten was
struck by s missile upon the face, bruis
ing the cheek but not seriously. A son
wis iu s foot or two of the place where
the bolt descended, and was covered
with brick, ddst nnd mortar, but,
strange to say, was unhurt. In fact, nil
the family made a narrow escape

An Unfortunate Man.
Tho name of the broom maker who
had his leg broken the other day is Mat
tbew B. Fnlghem, aud the accident ce
cuired in a different manner from what
we first heard. It seems that Mr. Ful
ghem lives on East Chappell street, and
ono evening just about dark he found
that a horse, which had been tied to
graze in the street in front of his house,
h ad tangled its legs in tho rope and fal
lendown. While kindly trying to ex
tncate the animal from its tronbles, the
horse fell upon him and breke one
thigh right in two.- As a consequence
he will be laid up for a couple of
months; aud to make the matter worse,
he is confined to one room of a new ne
gro cabin, where he had beeu obliged
to' shelter while waiting to seenre a
house.
Mr. Fulgbem was born nudiaised near
Macou and has a wife and one child.
He had only beeu at work here a short
time, and has no resources to tide him
over his misfortune, He seems very
cheerful, however, and doubtless the
kind people of-this community will see
that he and bis family do not suffer.

BIROS LEARNING TO SING.
A Common but Erroneoui ImpreMloB.
Several Interesting Caee*.
Most people probably Imagine that
birds sing by instinct; that the aong of
the robin is as natural to him aa his red
breast, that the Hue bird is not more
liable name to to cnange change its us noth now than man its color; ,
and that, untaught, , the the nightingale nlgf “ will
always always sing sing the the same oarne is beautiful beautif song. song,
This common im Kir^vriil however, is
erroneous. Young „ never sing
the song peculiar to their tribe If they
have never heard it, but if associated
with some other bird, will learn its song
instead. A redstart once built its nest
under the eaves of a house where a caged
chaffinch hung in a window underneath.
The redstart learned the chaffinch’s song.
Another redstard was noticed to repeat
the notes of a blackcap which had its
hest close by.
The winchat and wheatear have- nat¬
urally but little variety of notes, but will
become much better songsters if confined
with other birds, and the bullfinch can
be taught to whistle complete tunes, al¬
though its own natural notes are harsh
and insignificant. On the other hand,
tho nightingale in confinement will some¬
times exchange its own beautiful song
for that of some other bird that it may
hear. The Hon. Dairies Barrington says
that he saw a linnet which had been
taken from -the trbea. - cr
three days old, and which, not having
any other sounds to imitate, almost
learned to articulate, and could repeat
the words “pretty boy” and some other
short sentences. He educated nestling
linnets under the hest singing larks
—-the skylark, woodlark and titlark—
every one of which, instead of the lin¬
net’s song, adhered entirely to that of
their respective instructors. When the
note of the titlark was thoroughly fixed,
he hung tho linnet which had learned it
in a room for three months with two
common linnets which were in full song.
The educated linnet, however, never bor¬
rowed any passage from the other lin¬
nets, but adhered steadfastly to that of
the titlark which it had learned.
At Knighton, in Radnorshire, he saw
a goldfinch which sung exactly like a
wren, and uttered no proper note of its
species. This bird had been taken from
the nest when it was two days old, and
was hung in a window opposite a small
garden, where it had, no doubt, heard
and learned the wren’s song, having
never-had the opportunity to learn that
of the goldfinch. Birds taken from the
nest two or three weeks old have already
learned the call notes of their species.
These and many similar facts goto prove
that birds do not sing by instinct They
learn their songs from their parents. If
they have no opportunity of hearing the
Bong peculiar to their species, they never
it, but wfll learn any other instead;
as an American child taken to
when a few weeks old would
never speak English if he never heard it,
but would learn to speak French.—Popu¬
lar Science Monthly.

THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
i a good enough for the Stab. SiDgle hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it lias
stood by the men called by the great Democ-
racy to redeem the government from
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past it has been unswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in our national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser; wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it “protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is j nre and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each irsue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world's history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. B'u tte’s inimatiblc hu¬
mor sparkles in its c> is: Will Carleton’s
delightful letters i . . - choice offerings.
Many of the best.K i ;wn m:u and women in
literature and art are represented in its e ol
nmns,
The Webklv Star is r. large paper giving
the cream of the i » s Uowirld over, with
special features V uake it the most
complete family i : r published. The
farmer, the media ■. business man too
much occupied to i daily paper, will
get more for his dol .ir invested in The
Weekly Stab ilia:, icom any other paper.
It will be espeddlj alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.
