- The Instinct of Migration. If the young of our migratory birds are taken from their nest and reared by hand they become perfectly contented in confine ment, and do not pine for a freedom which they have never known. They make no effort to escape from their cages and seem to enjoy in full measure the happiness of mere animal life, -with all wants supplied. But as the season for the migration of each species approaches a strange restlessness is manifested by the caged bird, which was before so con tented, although the cage is well sup plied with its favorite food, and it is kept in a warm room. This restlesness increases until the bird spends several successive nights beating against the wires of its cage in a vain endeavor to get away. After its relatives have all sought their southern homes its quiet and content gradually return, so that it is to more troubled by this blind impulse to escape. This manifestation of the migratory instinct, where the example of others of the species, a diminished food supply, or the discomforts of a reduced temperature could have no influence, have been observed in the bobolink, oriole, catbird, bluebird, house wren, finch, grass finch, song sparrow, and several others, and it indicates an inher ited organization in which the migratory impulse is fixed as a habit that no tem- porary change of external conditions can eradicate. Science News. A Princess "Who Dared. Princess Adelgunde of Braganza, daughter of the late Don Miguel, the unsuccessful and banished pretender of the Portuguese throne, has just done a rather daring thing. The sentence of perpetual ban ishment was not only pronounced upon Don Miguel, but also upon all his child ren. Princess Adelgunde, however, was . so determined to see her father's native country that she contrived to obtain an English passport for her confidential maid, in which document she herself was described as the attendant of the jjersonated English lad' and in the character of a female de ehambre travel led undetected through Portugal. At Lisbon the two took up their quarters at a hotel, and visited all the jjalaces and galleries of the city, ending the escapade by a call on the Countess de Kedniba, an old and trusted friend of the family. They quitted the country in safety, the Princess' family knowing nothing about her journey until they received a letter posted at Lisbon and describing her ex ploit as "he result of the natural instinct of a Portuguese woman." An Extensive House. Thompson, DeHafrt & Co., of this city, are making extensive enlargements in their already extensive business.

Alarming prevalence of that insidious, loathsome, dangerous, and ofteu fatal disease, To Denlera at Wholesale Rntc. Nine-tenths of the people of the North West are sufFt-riug more or less from this baneful malady. Being of scrof ulous origin, hence constitutional, its manifestations are as varied in form as the rainbow is in color. Catarrh is a scrofulous affection of the mucous membrane which lines not only the throat and nasal passages but also all the interior cavities brain, eye, ears, stomache, liver, lungs, intestines, kidneys, bladder, and the entire cuticle of the body, and in its dill'erent stamen is known as "Humid, Dry or ('AjfcgROUS Catarrh. At first it usuallv affects the throat and nostrils, the impurities of which are swallowed into ihe stomach or inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the digestive, respiratory and genito-uri-narv orjjrans, and causing Ueamess, dys pepsia, Constipation, Chronic Diarrhcea, JBronchites, Leucorrhcea and Jl'onsump- tion. which latter is verv olten only Catarrh of the Lungs. Hence it is ev ident that any remedy to be effectual in permanently curing this disease must possess the alterative properties neces sary to eliminate from the blood the the scrofulous virus which is the prima ry cause of the malady, as well as to cleanse and heal the aftected membrane.
