Furs;enwald, Prussia.--One after' n:ifn sone time ago the following epi (,!,'. in which a great eagle figured. ((..titired in Btra' llndenburg. Prussia: A K llh! laborer heard a dog howling in le :::st disimal manner at no grel,t dis- wm ln!ce from the spot at which he was s ,.ckinill. BRunning in the direction tfren which the sounds came, he saw a narge bird and the watchdog of a n,,ighboring farm struggling and ane fighting, partly in the air and partly i C onI the ground. E At last they passed into an adjoin e ing copse, when the laborer ran and tai * called the bailiff of the place where1 d he was emilloyed. Bhoth proceeded toI If the copse, to find the bird moving re 'with the greatest difficulty and scarcely able to hop a few paces; it dgi ra I me ia the vet The Two Were Struggling and Fight ing. trid to fly. but was evidently dis- - abled and a well-directed shot killed it. They found the poor dog dead: all the flesh had been literally torn from its bones by its enemy. The eagle measured seven feet between the tips of its wings and was almost black, wi with snow white shoulders, indicating great age. It had evidently had a his- be tory, for on its left foot just above the claw was a strong gold ring on which were engraved some letters the meanI ing of which could not be deciphered, the word "Eperjes" and date "10, 9, m 1827." Eperjes is a town in Hungary h not far from the northern Carpathi tr ans. The bird had probably once i been in captivity. 54 The eagle in its native haunts is a b solitary bird, its mate alone except- s i ed; no other of its kind is likely to be b found living within a considerable distance of it. o A blow from its wing alone is said to have killed a kid. There are many instances of babes and young chil dren having been carried off by !eagles. It is even stated that in the canton of Geneva a boy of 10 years of age who was attempting to rob an eagle's nest was seized by, one of the birds and carried a distance of 600 yards. HIe was, however, rescued by his com panions without having suffered any very serious injury, though its talons had inflicted some severe wounds. The eagle builds its eyrie in the cliffs of inaccessible rocks or on the edges of precipices, the nest being lit tie more than a flooring of sticks and branches lined with leaves. Here it brings and stores up a considerable amount of food, often consisting of young lambs and game. Praise of the Country Town. ch He who has never called a country fal town his home has missed much. He fa who had his first look upon the world ly from some little village which at the se dawn of consciousness spelled all the world to him ad held in its bounds t all the people, will always lack some thing in his sense of his proper ad- ha justment to creation. It Is in them ai P that the truest friendships are formed, rt s the closest studies of human nature Sprovided, the most lasting hold given on the eternal truths. Only as a little de child can the kingdom be entered, and s Is that is as true of the kingdom of earth L as of that one of which it was first to said. Go closer into the records of v 3 these boys off the farms and you will of find that it was from the country t er towns, rather than from the farms, t r- they came; that it was some country h, village that inspired the dreams, fired at the hopes and prepared for that flight Lp to broader fields.
