Thev are thiek-sit animals, w ith long hair, broad breasts, short legs ami a tierce row of teeth. Their usual journey in the North has been from Nipigon to Hudson Ray post, a distance of from seven hundred to eight hundred miles. They make from seventy-live to ninety miles in a day of ten hours, and have gone one hundred miles in the same time. They require feeding hut once a day.

One of George Waahington'a early copy-hook contains a list of a hundred and ten "Rules of Civility and Decent Rehavior In Company and Conversa tion." Here are a few of them: "Kvery action in company ought to Oe with Home nign of respect to those present. When you meet with one of greater quality than yourself, stop and retire, especially if it he at a door or any strait place, to give way for him to pass. "They that are in dignity or in oflice have In all places precedency: but whilst they am young, they ought to respect those that are their equals in birth and other qualities, though they have no public charge. "Strive not with your nuperiorn in argument, but. always submit your judgment to others with modesty. "Re not hasty to believe Hying re ports to the disparagement of any. "Take nil admonitions thankfully, In what time or place soever given; but afterwards, not being culpable, take a time or place convenient to let him know it that gave tin m. "Think before you speak; pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and dis tinctly. "Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust. "Make no show of taking great de light in your victual; feed not with gr liucss; cut your bread with a knife; lean not on the table; licit her find fault with what you eat. "Re not angry at table, whatever happens, and if you have reason to be 8o, show it not; put on a cheerful coun tenance, especially if there be stran gers, for good humor makes one dish of meat a feast. "Let your recreations be manful, not sinful. "Labor to keep alive in vour breast that little soark of eclcstiaf lire called conscience. 'These are not unwise rules; they touch on things great ami small. The ilillleulty with most boys would be to follow a hundred ami' ten of them. They serve, however, to show what was the standard of good manners and morals among those who had the train ing of (-ieorge Washington. Horace E. Nvuililrr, in St. Xicholat. FREEING A RASCAL. Why Hie Duke urOamine Frecil an Incnrrl glide Criminal. The Duke of Ossone Is celebrated for the many quaint judgments and de cisions delivered by him while Viceroy of Naples. Some of them seem actu ated rather by a spirit of pleasantry than by one of justice. One day the Duke had to choose a galley slave who should he liberated in honor of some great festival. He went on board one of the gallcya, and, standing in front of tin? first bench of rowers, six in num ber, he began to question them all as to what had brought them there. The lirst one contented himself by callin" (oil as a xvitness to his innocence anil protesting that he was there for no reason at all. The second said his pun ishment and disgrace were the work of his enemies, and not the conseuiience of any crime. The third protested that a crying injustice had been done him by his beini' sent there without any trial. The fourth saitl that the lord .if his village hail become enamored of his wife and had caused him to be sent. there out of the way. The fifth de clared that he came from the hamlet of Soiutna, and that he had been impli cated in a robbery there in which he really hail had no part at all. and that all his neighbors would bear wit iiess to his honesty. The sixth, who hail observed that all these excuses and justifications did not scent to please the Puke, took a dill'crent tone. Your Kxeellfiicy," he said, "1 came from Naples; and though the town is a lan'e one, I do not believe that it contains a greater scoundrel than myself. Thev have been merciful to me in only seinl ing me to the galleys." The Viceroy looketl at the man' keenly for sonic moments, and then, turning to those in attendance upon him, said: "Let this scoundrel lie released from his chains; he xx ill corrupt all those honest men." I lien he presented hint with some money to provide himself with cloth ing, and besought him to try to live a belter life in the future. -'ciiambciv Journal. SUNDAY SWINDLERS. Tli IMsri-nutslit I'lusa of IVtly KrauiU lo lf found In IIokIoii. Of the live hundred citizens of Mas nachusett who recently petitioned the Legislature for a law to punish those who cheat on Sunday, or refuse after ward to pay for articles purchased on that day. over one-half of them are un doubtedly bakers. The member of that trade in this city cbmplaiii most bitterly of such actions on the part of a number of people. They say that such customers w ill rush into' the' shop in a hurry, call for warm bread, get it, and disappear, promising to drop in and pay for it next day. For some reason they rarely appear the next day, and linally, when their bill has been pre sented several times, the baker informs them that if it is not settled within a certain date legal proceedings will lie begun. Then is the time when thecus toinersees hisopporttmity. He laue-hs. and informs the baker 'that if he "can collect a debt contracted tut Sunday to pi ahead, which be knows is utterly impossible under the present laws of the Stale. It is not the poorer class of people who do this, but the persons who usually have the money readv to pay their bills. Won W."

LUCKY CALIFORNIANS. Numeroui Winners in the Louiiiana Lottery Drawing. Not a few prizes fell to Calitornians in the February distribution of the Louisiana Lottery, whose wheel of for tune lias revolved each month to the financial advantage of people iu this State. Ten thousand dollars lias al ready been received by residents of Sun Francisco, who held two of the five coupons bearing the number of 78,21)8, which won the second capital offering, $2r,000. Gottfried Anderson and A. G.Olson owned one of the tick ets. They had worked together on the Sacramento River Steamer On ward, the former as deck hand and the latter as third cook, but Anderson is now tending bar at Lundberg's Hotel, HO Pacific street, anil Olson is stopping at Sverd Erickson's lodging-house, 425 Fast street. Anderson.who is a stalwart young Swede, atated to a Call rciorter, after speaking of his good luck, that Olson hail purchased tho ticket from an old woman who peddles lottery cou pons along the xvatcr front. "He did not care imich about taking it and neither did I," continued An derson, "but out of pity for the poor woman we agreed to buy one ticket to gether. It has now been a profitable investment. F'.ach of us now has 125, 20 pieces in the bank, ami ''we feci coniparitivcly rich. It's a big lot of money for me." The lives of Ander son ami Olson have flown in almost tho same channel, and this pleasant occurrence increases their similarity ii .i. t .. ... uoiii are sous oi oweuisn farmers, are about the same age, and camo tc America about the same time. Each went to Tiogo County, Pennsylvania worked on a rail road there, came to San Francisco, and only met and got acquainted with each other on the steamer Onward. They bad hereto fore never known anything but hard work, and both have simultaneously oeen piuceu in a position lo enjoy ex istence more comfortably. The name of the party who hcM thw other coupon inscribed with this lucky number, could not be ascer tained. The $5,(KK)'which it drew was collected by Wills, Fargo & Co'sBank of this city. Hetiry Wailsworth. man ager of tho hank, stated that its rules would not permit the disclosure of who the hoi ler was. He added that the bank has bad many drafts drawn upon the JiOuisinna Lottery Associa tion, and that in every instance they have been promptly honored. W. F. Rudolph, who resides at 1418 est street, in Oakland, was said to have been the holder of one fifth of ticket 8i;,.r)l;i, which won tho 110,000 prue. When inquiry was made Mr, Rudolph stated that although the money had been sent to him, he was merely acting as agent in the matter for a lailv, whose identity he had promised not to divulge. The lady, wno is the wife of a commercial trav eller, knew nothing of the fortune that had befallen her until a week after the result of tho drawing had been pul lished. When she discovered it she almost went into ecstatics. Aifothcr fifth of the same numlier was also held in the city across the bay. The 2lX0 was forwarded to W. M. Finucane, Oakland, w ho divided it with several participators in the pur chase of the coupon. Mr. Finucane lives at IttWJ Twelfth street. He is very sorry now, according to his ow n admission to a Call reporter, that he did not hazard by himself the small sum which the ticket cost, and thus have obtained claim to the entire amount won. He said that hereafter when he bought lottery coupons be would make himself the sole owner of them. Another coupon with nnnilsrSfi.'in was held by some one in San F'ran ciseo. The iktsoii who obtained $2tk) on it is known only to WV.'.s, Farj i a Co.'s Bank, through wHeh was c 1 Ucted this snng little inurn f. r t'u small investment ma le in the t'eket. As before mentioned, the lank will not reveal the name. San tmncuco (Cal.) Call, March 14. FASHION'S CRUELTY. (iwUy Hunter Who HUy HlnU by lh Thousand to Hatl.fy Vslu Women. "Where do all the birds, that the ladies wear nowadays comi from?" was asked of a taxidermist of the West Side. "Most of the birds used In the trade by milliners come from New Jersey, but a good many also come from Long Island and some are received from the West and South, but a few are im ported." "Where do all the fancy birds that look like the winged inhabitants of a tropical zone come from?" "That involves a trick of the trade. Nearly all these birds come from New Jersey and the State of New York. Let ine illustrate. A blackbird is taken, the bill is cut and in its place a snipe's bill Is inserted and by combin ing parts of the skins of other common birds a monstrosity is produced. Rut if the colors are well matched the re sult is attractive to the eye. And it may even surprise one who knows all about the appearance of birds. If you glance at the hats exhibited iu the win doxvsof the fashionable stores you will find sometimes half a dozen birds' heads projecting from ono mass of feathers that might be the breast of a swan or turkey. Many of the xvings that adorn hats bear no possible re semblance to wings. The whole busi ness is a matter of taste. In mounting a bird for a hat certain portions of the skin are cut axvav, but by no means thrown away. ' All the nll'al is used up for wings by gluing the pieces' on a model." "How are the birds caught? Are they shot?" "Oh, man, no; no shot is found in flaying the birds that arc bought of regular customers. The hunters keep their mode of catching the birds a secret, because they are afraid of the interference of the Society of the Pre vention of Cruelly to Animals. We have a man who brings us over a thousand birds a week during the warm weather. He lives in New Jer sey, and has a partner, hut no other help. One would think the woods would be depopulated, yet the supply is kept up from year to year. The man ought to be rich enough to retire from the business." "How much do you pay for the birds?" "The prices vary according to the demand, and the demand is controlled to a large extent by the prevailing fashions. Last year the millincrscallcd especially for red wings and yellow birds, for which we paid from twenty live to thirty-five cents apiece. At the rush of the season the price for that kind of birds ran up to forty-five ami fifty cents apiece for n lot.' At other times we could get all we wanted from eight to twenty cents each. It's really remarkable that the supply does mil give out, in spite of all the slaughter ing of the birds." "What kind of birds are brought into the market?" "All sorts, nnd very often quite common birds, orioles, red winged blackbirds, snipes, thrushes, yelloxv birds, reed birds, sparrows, turtle doves and mocking birds, almost any email birds can be used. The xvings of the sparrows are dyed red, yellow, green ami even blue, and the little feathered inhabitant of the northern zone is transformed into a magnificent tropical bird. How long will the fashion of wearing birds last? It is hard to tell, perhaps ten, fifteen years, for the freaks of fashion are variable." X. Y. Cur. Cliii-nio Journal. TAKING A CONTINENT. How t-riiiHiiy A-iiiiri-il Its Colonies In Kastern Africa. The way in which the Germans ac quire territory in Africa is related by Ir. Carl Peters, himself engaged in the business, ami who upon his return from Eastern Africa delivered a lecture at Cologne upon the modus operandi of his company. The expedition under command of myself, said he, started from Zanzibar, sailing along the eastern coast of Africa, and reached I'sapuha in the course of eight days. Then he entered into friendly relations xx ith its Sultan, drinking xx'ith him a few glasses of grog. These relations soon culminated in a cession of the whole country, to gether xx ith all personal and sovereign rights of the Sultan. "To be sunC" said the lecturer, in a humorous xxax , "we had treated the gentleman iu the most friendly manner. As he ap proached we began to sing in chorus. Was Kommt Dort von tier lloehe?' This put him in a very rood liuninr I assured him we could' sing much better songs, which he doubted. 1 then pre sented him with the uniform of a liu ssar, anil told him that those who stood nearest to our Emperor wore such uniforms. The Sultan now rose in the highest esteem of his people, anil so deeply affected was he that he re linquished his whole country, and, utter the treaty had been translated by an interpreter he signed it before wit nesses and had it also signed by the Crown-Prince, whercumm the Cernom flag was raised, and our company pro ceeding upon a hill near by, in the name or our hmperor, took formal possession of the whole mountainous country. Three cheers were riven for the Emperor, in which the blacks joined heartily.
