A Lame Excuse.
Tho Review with nn affrontery that
would sbamo his satonic majesty says it
delights to honor the old voterauB."
The fact is tho Roviow novcr looses an
opportunity to traduco them beforo tho
ublic. When an old veteran lias the
manhood to assert his right as o citizen,
and in the eserciso of that right rejoices
over tho defeat ot tho party ho opposed in
delonso of tho union, the Review assails
him as a stato institution taking part in
politics. Yea, you dolight to honor vet
orans as vultures delight in lambs.
It thoy will sit down as paupers and
not dare raise their heads or clevato
their voices to rejoico over tho enemies
hey fought 30 years ago, and quietly eat
the bread of charity, as the Roview
would term it, tho Reviow would content
itself with an occasional referonco to
them as pensioners upon the public.
As to tho Review's contemptible fling
at "men like Benjamin and Hermann,"
who stood by the old flag in its hour ot
peril and havo Btood by its defenders
ever since, we will say, tho old veterans
know who their friends are and also who
are their foes.
These "peanut politicians" aro not
traducers of veteran soldiers nor
were thoy ever "copperheads," "fire
in tho rear men," "appolgists for seces
sion" and who rejoiced when the veter
ans met with defeat or mourned when
rebels were repulsed by veteran valor,
as did the class of men of the Review
stripe,

OBITUARY.
S. E. Faucett, tho subject of this
memoir, was born in Heldsburg, Sonoma

At the age of four years ho moved to
Myrtle Creek, Douglas county, Oregon
where be died September 27tb, 1S95, at
the age of 30 Jyears, 7 months and 19
daya. Durine bin lingering illness of
three years, every thing was done to re
lieve him that toying parents and kind
friends could do, but to no avail. Mr
Faucett was a young man highly
esteemed by all who knew him. Ho was
converted during a series of meetings in
1881, conducted by Rev. W. G. Miller,
and united with the Baptish church, to
which cburch he belonged at the time of
his death.
A precious ouc from us has gone,
A voice wo loved is stilled ;
A place ia vacant in our home,
Which never can bo filled.
God in hia wisdom has recalled
Tho boon his love had given,
And though tho body mouldciB here
Tho soul is safe in heaven.

THE DRIVER HAD A MATCH.
And the Fassencer a Cigar, In Fact
Several of Them.
A prosperous looking business man
boarded tho front platform of a cross
town car, and drawing nvroll tilled cigar
oaso from hia pockcsojoctcd a choice
looking Havana, Tfid driver "sized up"
tho man and tho cigar case, and Ids
mouth began to waterC Tho smoker, aft
er biting oft tho end of his cigar, began
fumbling for a match. Failing to find
ono, ho turned to tho driver and asked
him if ho had a match.
"Yes, sir," responded tho driver,
with nlacrity. "Hero you aro, sir. "
'Thank you," said tho business man,
lighting his cigar and Fending tho fra
grant smoko wafting across tho driver's
face.
"Very convenient to havo matches
uround, sir. I allers makes a point of
carrying 'cm."
"Indeed?"
"Yes; so many gentlemen pull out a
cigar, and then find thoy ain't got a
match."
Puff, puff and silence.
"I am quito a smoker myself. 'Coarso
I can't smoko on tho car, but then I en
joy it all tho moro when I get off. "
'I supposo so," said tho smoker ab-
senrmindedly.
"Many gentlemen makes a point ol
giving mo a cigar, especially when thoy
rides reg'lar. I ain't had my after din
ner smoko yet"
"Oh, said tho business man in a
preoccupied manner.
lcs, sir; I allers carry matches, as I
said before, 'causo when a gentleman
has n cigar and no light ho alius seems
bo thankful for it Generally gives mo
a cigar too. Seems kinder fair to ox
change a cigar for a match, 'cause tho
weed ain't no good without a light
"All," said tho Bmoker, evidently
busy in his mind with something con
nectcd with business.
The driver looked despairingly at him
and nf tor clearing his throat Bald :
"iou don t liappcn to havo another
cigar In your pocket, do yon, sir?
"Certainly I havo two or three,
said tho business man testily. "But
what has that to do with what you havo
been talking about?"

SONQ BIRDS.
Something About tho Feathered Warbler
of Different Countries.
India has tho jocoso bulbuls, often
called nightingales from their remark
ably sweet voices. Tho Hindoos train
them to si ton their hands and bo carried
about tho bazaars. Tho black faced
thrash is a very fino songster and can
imitato almost everything ho hears.
Tho whito evebrowed or spectacled
laughing thrush has a loud, powerful
song and somo melodious notes, no is
sometimes called tho greater Peking
night ingalo or Japaneso mocking bird.
Tho Japaneso robin is a pretty bird to
look at, and very hvoly in his motions,
but is overrated aa asinger, his notes re
sembling our Baltimore oriolo's, only
shriller, with lltfio variation.
Australia has tho piping crow, which
is moro of a 6hriko than a true crow.
His song is rich and varied, tho notes re
sembling a flute. Ho can bo taught to
speak and imitato many birds as well
From Africa ore shipped largo num
bers of littlo birds to this country called
African singing finches. Thoplumago is
bandsomo and often very odd. They
lack voice, only one, tho strawberry
finch, having a song of any power. They
aro cunning, however, and pretty to
have in an aviary. A gentleman Inricw
York has an aviary cago containing
some 35 varieties of small birds, and
among them many African finches. As
ono of tho canaries sines a small finch
will fly to his side, and placing his head
against tho singer's breast listen close

tho bird would weave until ho shut out

Wonder of Mlaata Animal Life.
Tho following, which might very ap
propriately bear tho heading of "Acra

Robert a Ball, F. E. &. astronomer
royal of Ireland: "Tho mlcroscopo
teaches ns that there aro animals so won
dcrfully minuto that if a thousand of
them wcro ranked abreast they could
easily swim, without being thrown out
of order, through tho eye of tho finest
cambria nccdlo over made. Yet each of
tho minuto creatures is a highly organ
lzed nnmbcr of particles, capablo of mar
ing about, of finding and devouring food
and of behaving in all respects as be
comes an animal as distinguished from
a fragment of unorganized matter." Tho
human mind is utterly incapable of real'
