Migrating Birds. How do these robins, and the swal lows, and other migrating birds, con trive to make, unobserved, their long journey north and south? '"Who sees them arrive ? Who has ever seen them depart ? They have a time to go, and a time to depart, and they move all together. We find ttjem with us, some bright and cheery morning in the latter half of March, or in April. We may feel sure they were not here the preceding morn ing. When did they come ? Who saw them arrive ? A friend who has carefully studied this problem, gives us his slow but very decided conclusion. It is this : Our migrating birds chiefly go and come in the night. His observation has led him also to the belief that this annual migration north and south, is due less to "instinct" than to instruction, and a sort of tradi tion, actually imparted to the hosts of young birds by the older ones. He has reached the conclusion that the young ones, born and brought up here in the north, would not know by instinct, that a long and dreadful season of deadly cold, with drifting snows and fearful storms, was coming, from which all sen sible birds must flee, and seek in more genial latitudes their winter home. In proof of this he cites the case of those robins who remain with us over winter. These, he says, are invariably young robins, hatched the preceding June never old ones who had been here before the previous winter. This can be ascer tained chiefly by their size, but partially by other indications and appearances, such as every vagrant school-boy is tmf ami liar with. To confirm this view our friend points to the large gatherings of young birds in later September, or early October, evidently brought together by the old ones, who fly along the whole line, eagerly chattering something to which the younger evidently listen, and which this observer believes to be a warning not to widely part company with the older ones, but to be on hand and keep them company, when, at a time near at hand, they must all leave for the southern clime. Some young birds, our philosopher says, either do not heed this wise warning, or mies the great company when they start which is always, he says, in the night. One finds these unlucky stragglers, hiding: as best they may, among the sheltering thickets in January and February maintaining a precarious and doubtless a suffering existence by eating the ce dar berries. These unhappy stragglers, left behind to endure the rigors of a northern winter, did not heed the tra ditionary warniDg which is preserved by the older birds and handed down from generation to generation. Such is our observer's theory ; and we find something that does look like a support of it, in the conduct of the swallows. We have often watched, in the country, these most graceful birds, when, about the first week in Septem ber, they are gathered in crowds of hun dreds on hundreds, completely covering the fence-tops for long distances. Hud dled close together, they present a cu rious sight ; and the entire crowd of sitting and stationary birds are plainly enough the young swtllows. Along the entire line, the older birds are flying eagerly, closely approaching the young er crowd, and twittering vociferously. This spectacle is best exhibited at the sea-shore. Along the outmost fences of the farms bordering Long Island Sound, these closely packed congrega tions of young swallows are often aston ishing in their numbers. The time is commonly about the first of September. The lesson if it is a lesson is repeated day after day, the old birds seeming to be very earnest and anxiou3 about it. However this part of our friend's theory may be regarded, proofs of the fact that migration of birds is chiefly performed by night are sufficiently abundant, we think, to settle that point. Th wild geese maintain their long flight alike in the darkness and the daylight. So, possibly, may the small birds, and these may escape obervation because of their smallnees. That they do, however, fly in the night, is abun dantly proved by the revelations of the astronomer's telescopes, as well as the slaughter occasioned by the birds dash ing heedlessly against the lanterns of the light-houses on the coast. The astronomer Mitchell (now de ceased) speaks of seeing birds cross the field of his glass, when this was directed to the moon in the dead hoar of the night. We have conversed with other Astronomers who affirm that in Septem ber and October, judging from the nnmber which cross the fields of their telescopes, the whole air seems to be literally filled with birds flying south ward at night ; and again in April the same phenomenon reappears, the only difference being that the direction of flight is reversed. Hartford Times. How a Coat I'setl to be Made. Boys in these days who can go to a clothing store, try on a coat, and when they fled one that suits, pay for it and take it home, maybe interested to know how boys came by their coats in the old times. Hon. Amasa Walker tells this story : " After I had obtained the wool for my coat, and carried it a long distance to be carded, I found the parties over whelmed with business. Everybody desired their wool carded as well as I, and I was obliged to wait the natural course of events, which meant two weeks. I returned home, and when the two weeks had elapsed, again presented my self at the mill, and inquired for the wool. It would be done in less than an other week. It was done when I next visited them, and I took my possession home. My mother was quite delighted on my arrival, and at once set to work to spin it on a great wheel. xt the ap pointed time I made another journey on horseback with my bundle behind me, to the cloth store at Knoxville. I was obliged to be contented with receiving a promise of the cloth in three weeks. When that time had gone by I went ngain, and had to wait a long time, but finally obtained my treasure and went home. After threo weeks' delay and disappointment, Uncle Daniel gave me the cloth for my surtout, and then Aunt Debby, the tailoress, had to be engaged to make it. Aunt Debby could not come for some days, but at last af ter more hardships in going for her at early sunrise on a cold, frosty day, and waiting for her to finish a job, she was obtained, and the hard-earned garment was at last completed, as well as my brother's clothes." George's Harking Horse. When George was five years old, his uncle gave him a rocking horse. It was a very large horse, almost too large for a small boy ; but George liked it all the better for that. It pleased him greatly for a while ; but when he got to be eight years old, and had been on a visit to the country, and had had a ride on a real horse, the rocking horse began to lose its charm for him. There was a way, though, to have fun out of it still ; for George had some young friends, smaller than himself, to whom such a famous rocking-horse was a gieat delight. George took much pleasure in show ing it to them. One day, he invited Tom Wilson, Charles Brown ,Sam tlow ord, Willie Thompson, and Fred Wil- kins, to come in and play with it George meant to give all a ride ; but he found he had invited too many boyfi for one horse. There was a dispute at once as to which should get on first, and, to settle that question, George had to mount the horse himself. Then there was a scramble for the best places on the rockers. Fred Wil kins secured the hind rocker ; Charles Brown seated himsetf very comfortably under the horse's hind legs ; George's little sister Mary, not to be outdone, left her p'cture-book on the floor, and took her place under the horse's fore legs. The only place left was the front rocker. Tom Wilson and Willie Thompson both made a dash for that. Tom got it first ; and then Willie, who was a little out of temper, tried to push him off. Just then, George started his horse with a shout ; and before Willie could get out of the way, the rocker came down with full force upon his toes. It made him whimper a little ; but, for my part, I think it served him right for being so rude. All this time, Sam Howard, who was a very modest boy, had stood quietly looking on. Seeing that Sam was com pletely crowded out, George got off the horse and told Sam to mount in his stead, which he did ; so the boy who was least selfish had the best place after all. But Sam would not keep the best place all the time. Ho let the other boys taka it, each in turn ; so they all had good fun. A NEW COMMUNITY. A new community of socialists are founding a Harmonial Home on Valcour Island in Lake Champlaiu. According to their creed they will indulge in com plex marriage and no other sort. In other words, they will be practical free- lovers, and will neither deny their creed nor sit on the ragged edge of remorse to any great extent. They propose to live on a great deal of love and veiy little agriculture. There are two hun dred gudgeons in the party now, and they extend an invitation to every one else wishing to live with them. One dis tinctive featare of this latest lunacy is that the inmates of the homes are to be divided by "temperaments into groups and families, thus avoiding the com bination of discordant elements " in one family. Doubtless the red-haired men and women will constitute one group and those with a fondness for "gush ing " another group. Those who have charge of the organization of these groups will, however, have a good time in finding out the proper place for every wild fanatic who may join the Harmo nial Brotherhood. A faemeb near South Bend, Ind., has over 200 swarms of bees and sells near ly 2,000 pounds of honey per year, Q UAItRELS. These are ugly things, yet they will happen, sometimes, even in the best regulated families.' But, very often, they arise from mere trifles, an illustra tion of which is given in the following old story, which contains so good a moral that it will bear to be republished once more, if not several times : A loving newly married couple sat down to tea for the first time in their new home. Happy as a pair of birds, they were billing and cooing to each other, when seeing something run out of the chimney corner, they exclaimed, one of them, "O ! see that rat," and the other, "O! see that mouse." " O ! no, it was a rat." "No ; it was a mouse." " Xot at all, my dear ; I saw it, and I am sure it was a rat." " And I saw it, too, and I know it was a mouse." " I say it was a rat." " I say it was a mouse." " 'Twas a rat." "No, 'twas a mouse." " 'Twss a rat." "'Twas a mouse." And they kept it up until both were in a passion, and finally the bride in her tears and her anger said she would go home to her parents, and away she went. A few days or weeks of reflection showed them both their exceeding folly, and they readily yielded to the sugges tion of friends that they were a couple of little fools, and had better come to gether again, which they did. Once more seated at their cheerful tea-table, in the cosiest of rooms, and happy in the thought that they were re stored to their own sweet home, thev looked across the table into each other's eyes, and one of them said, laughingly, to the other : " Was it not foolish for us to make such a big fuss about that good-for-nothing little mouse ?" " Why, dear, it wasn't a monse ; it was a rat." " No, love, it was a mouse. I saw it myself." " And so did I, and I am sure it was a rat." And so at it they went agaHn, one as positive and unyielding as the other, till they were as mad as before, and the wife went off to her father, and that ended their living together. BRITISH HA TL WA 1 F I CURES. American railway statistics are so well known, that.those curious in such matters will find no difficulty in com paring their figures with the figures which the Pall Mall Gazette gives of the railway system of the United Kingdom. In England and Wales at the end of last year there were 11,369 miles of railway open, the total capital paid up, including shares, loans, etc., being over $2,450,000,000, and the total number of passengers, including season ticket holders, stood upward of 400, 000,000. The total traffic receipts of the year amounted to 235,000,000, the work ing expenses to $130,000,000, and the net traffic freceipts to $115,000,000. Since 1859 the average)increase of mile age has been about 300 a year. The paid-up capital has risen by an averoge annual increase of $7,500,000 a year, and the average increase in the number f passengers has been close upon 20, 000,000. In Scotland the increase of mileage has averaged scarcely 100 a year, standing now at 2,012, though since 1859 the capital has risen from $185,000,000 to $345,000,000, and the number of passengers conveyed has more than doubled. The whole number of miles of railroad in the United King dom in 1873 was 16,000, and the total apital at the same date $2,940,000,000, showing progress that is safe, if not brilliant. DRINKS FOR IlAXINtt AND HAR VEST. Agricultural journals persist in rec ommending various concoctions for farmers to drink during the heating and exhausting labors of the hay field and the harvest field. We have, in our day, tried these various mixtures, but we have found nothing equal to pure cold well water. Active exercise under a sun that would raise the mercury above 100 degrees raises the temperature of the body to a high degree, a degree that would prove fatal were it not for the constant operation of nature's infallible cooler perspiration. Perspiration thickens the blood and other fluids, causing thirst, frequent and intense. What drink is so well calculated to re duce the internal heat and thin the fluids as cold water ? Having decided upon using cold wat3r as the beverage of the hay and harvest fields, the next thing is to use it judiciously. It can be so used as to be injurious. When the laborer comes around to the water jug, or whatever the vessel may be, hot and thirsty, and breathing rapidly, if he seizes the vessel and drinks until he is satisfied, he will oool off too suddenly and take too much water into his stom ach ; but if he will take a mouthful into his mouth, hold it for a moment, gargle it in his throat, and then eject it, and afterward drink a swallow at a time, pausing a moment between swallows, he will find that a much less quantity will suffice to allay his thirst, and he will cool off more gradually. The Austrian explorers, Payer and Weypreclit, seem to have reached the most northerly point ever attained by man. Capt. Hall, in his last voyage, traveled by sledges to latitude 82 de grees 16 minutes ; Dr. Hayes, in 1861, got as far as latitude 81 degrees 35 min utes ; Morton discovered the supposed open Polar Sea in latitude 82 degrees 27 minutes, and Parry, in 1827, at tempting the Spitzenberg route, went as far north as latitude 82 degrees 45 minutes. We are informed that the Austrian voyagers, however, reached the 83d parallel. Odd Names. One would think that English peope were hard driven to find names for themselves, both Christian and surnames, to judge from the odd ones that crop up continually. Look ing over a volume of wills at Doctor's Commons the other day, I came upon those three testators bearing respec tively the names of "Flight Scurry." "Swift Fleet" and "North South." Only the day before I turned up a mar riage license authorizing a Mr. Pickle to marry a Miss Onion. Not long ago a gentleman in Devonshire named Pine was compelled, on succeeding to the estate of a relative to take the addition al surname of Coffin, and the whimsical result is in a newspaper before me which records the marriage of one of his daughters as Miss Pine Coffin. London Inciter. c A deaf old lady, who had brought an action for damages against a neighbor, was being examined, when the Judge suggested a compromise, and instructed the counsel to ask what she would take to settle the matter. "His Honor wants to know what yon will take ?" asked the learned counsel, bawling as loud as ever he could in the old lady's ear. "I thank Mb Honor kindly," an swered the ancient dame ; " and if it's no ill-con wenience to him.I'll take a lit tle warm ale !" Prince ct Co.'s Organs. Five octaves, two full sets of reeds.

The retributive tendency of the laws of nature is beinst illustrated by. the spread among men in England of that horrible disease, the gloiiders, which is first produced in horse3 by bad feed ing, overwork, and confinement in badly ventilated stables, but particularly by the cruel practice of obliging horses to work while suffering from influenza, diabetes, and other similar debilitating complaints. Man's inhumanity to his best and most patient servant is thus being punished by a disease more con tagious than small-pox and more horri ble than the mostloathsome of venereal disorders. Medical Maniacs. There are num bers of medical men so wedded to the old formulas, that all changes seem to them like innovations. These medical maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of bucd mischief in this practical ace While the Vinegar Bitteks are curing Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti pation, and countless other diseases that defy the remedies of the pharmacopoeia, it is impossible to thrust down the throats of intelligent invalids "heroic " doses of mineral poison, or to persuade them to take adulterated alcohol, im pregnated with cheap astringents, as a "healing balm or a "balsamic prep aration." Yineoak Bitteks, a pure bo tanical tonic and alterative, guiltless of the curse of distilled or fermented liquor, is actually accomplishing what the mineral and alcoholic cure-mongers have so incessantly promised but have never yet performed. Under these cir cumstances it is no wonder that this medicine has taken precedence of all those burning fluids mis-cal!eil tonics.

A fow months after having commenced the manufacture of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the proprietor began to receive numerous letters from all parts of the West ern and Southern States bestowing the moat unbounded praise upon it for having promptly cured the writers or their friends of Fever and Ague, or other forms of miasmatic or malari ous diseases. He was repeatedly urged to make known the wonderful virtues of the Discovery in the cure of Ague and kindred diseases. He always replied that it was not intended for a " cure-all," and should he rec ommend it to people as a remedy for so many different forms and classes of disease, he teared those who had never tested its virtues would at once class it among the numerous humbugs of the day. This answer was sat isfactory to no one; they argued that the whole country ought to know it at once, and expressed their astonishment at his indiffer ence to the subject. His ear and heart being at all times open to the call of suffering hu manity, he has at last, after having received testimony from hundreds who have been speedily cured by it, and many of them after quima and all the usual means had failed con sented to make the matter known.

Walker's California Vin epar Bitters are a purely Vegetabltv pieparation, made chiefly Irom the na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tbe question is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit ters T" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in thsj history of the world has a medicine beea compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of eriry disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonio, relieving Congestion or Inflammation or the liver and Visceral Organs, ia Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Waxkbb's Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretio, Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific. Altsra tire, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix jegar Bitteks the most wonderful ii vigoraat that ever sustained the sinking ystcm. j Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. " Bilious, Bemittent and Inter mittent Fevers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of oit- great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, tiroughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erfiA influence upon these various or gans, s essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dk. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tbe liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body acrainst disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, "Walker'8 Vinegar Bittbrs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronie Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Diver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blooi. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as numbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis cf the Bowels. To guard against this, taie a dose of Walker's Vin egar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Qjscolorations of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases oi the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by tho usj oi tnese .Bitter.. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands,' are cfiectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelniinitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonio Bitters display so decided an influence, that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Boras; cleanse it when you find it obstructed aid slucgish in the veins : cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Ketp the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. n. h. McDonald b to.. Druggiiits and Gen. Agta., San Francisco, California, nnd cor. of Washington and CUariton SU'., V. T.
