A WonderfUl Parrot-
Home years ago, but within the memory
of man, a parrot’s cage hung in a baker's
shop in the good old town of Salem The
parrot was a handsome one, with gay
plumage, and being given to saying very
sharp and witty things by accident on.thcr
wi.se, was quite the pride and attraction of
the shop.
Rut Poll, nnforttv atcly. although a bird,
had some human weakness, and the baker
being only human, it sometimes fell out
hat thty got into difficulty; quarreled,
you might even sav, if the tiuth were to be
told.
Though as Poll had, for her own part, a
forgiving disp. -itiou, end used, at sucli
times, alii r keeping discreetly quiet foi a
while, to come out suddenly with some
very wise or droll renc.rk, that set all the
shop laughing, these, t. cables ordinarily
blew over before long.
It happened one day that the city weigh
er came in, according to custom, to exam
ine the baker’s slock of bread, and ascer
tain whether it agreed with the weight pre
scribed by law. Everything was found to
be right, and the weigher was just about
to leave the shop, when Poll, who had been
narrowly watching proceedings from be
tween lier bars, called out:
“Light bread ! under the bed ! Light
bread ! under the bed!"
The weigher, taking the hint, tamed and
passing into a back room he found con
cealed a large number of loaves of light
weight, which he immediately seized, im
posing, also, a heavy tine on the shop.
He was no sooner gone than the baker, in
a lage, seized a dipper of hot water and
threw it over the parrot’s cage. Fortunately,
he was too hot himself to aim very well,
and only a small part of it reached the luck
less Poll. That, however, fell upon her
guilty head, and took off all its brilliant
red feathers, her especial pride.
They did not grow again for a long time,
and then only in a ragged, miserable way,
and poor Poll seemed to carry the scar of
her disgrace in her very heart. She droop
ed and hung her head, and seldom spoke,
unless at twilight, when she seemed to feel
that a kindly veil was thrown over her de
formity.
Things had been in this way for a year or
more, when one day a gentleman came into
the shop who had lost almost all his hair,
presenting a round, shiny pate, with only
a very narrow rim of curls around the back
and temples.
Poll looked earnestly at biin, turning her
h ad from side to side, and winked know
ingly through her bars until he turned to
go, when she croaked out in a sympathiz
ing tone:
“Been saying light bread? been saying
light bread ?”
Not long after this it fell out that Poll
was guilty of so ue misdemeanor which so
entirely exhaust and her master’s patience,
that seizing her by the head be wrung her
neck, and threw her into the * gutter for
dead.
But Poll Lad no idea of giving np for
such a trifle; she lay quite still for an hour
or two, until her injured feelings had some
what recovered, when, getting slowly and
sorely upon her ugly feet, she began look
ing about for consolation. She soon found
it in the shape of some corn, which had
b eu spilled near by, and was comfortably
picking it up, when a lank, wicked-looking
cat got sight of her, and planned anew and
last calamity.
Poll saw her draw nearer and nearer, one
noiseless step at a time, but went quietly on
with her corn, keeping a sharp lookout,
how* ver, until just as the cat was drawing
itself for a spring. Then, ruffling up her
feathers with a frightful puff, and making
a dart toward the cat with her beak, she
cried out in a terrible voice:
“Scat, you beast!"
With one terrified turn, and a dash round
the corner, such as only a cat can make.
Tabby disappeared forever, and the baker,
wko had watched the proceedings, was so
irresistibly amused, that he laughed him
self into good humor, ami bringing Poll in,
hung her up in her cage once more, where
she finished her days without further seri
ous misfortune.
Religions Reliefs of Hit* Indiana
The duality of God was the most ancient
tenet of the Indian faith—a prominent
tenet, it may he observed, in all the more
advanced Oriental nations of antiquity.
They believed in the existence ot two
Great Spirits as forming the perfect God
head. One eminently great was the Good
Spirit, and the inferior was an Evil Spirit.
They believed every animal to have had a
great original, or father. Tne first buffalo,
the first bear, the first beaver, the first
eagle, ft a ii ter a, was the mauitou, or guard
ian spirit, of the whole race of these differ
ent creatures. Thej chose some ono of
these originals is pair special mauitou
or guardian, and hen arose the custom of
having its represents ■••a as the totem of the
trihe.
Whatever they L M to he superior to them
selves they dt ill'd, such as the sun, moon,
stars, meteors, fire, water, thunder, wind ;
but they never exalted t heir heroes or proph
ets above the sphere of humanity. They
adored an invisible great Master of Lite iu
various form, which they called Mauitou, and
made it a sort of tutelar deity. They hud
vague notions of vicarious atom ment, and
made propitiatory sacrifices with great sol
emnity. They all had dim traditions of a
a.dnge as an exhibition of Divine wrath,
a i the salvation of a family as an act ot
Divine mercy. They were very supersti
tious, and under the direction of priest
craft they did cruel and horrible things. In
their pictographic records ot moral ami r> -
ligions thought, as well as of their mythol
ogy, they employed symbols extensively.—
These were also used in writing their songs,
and iu musical notations.
Their funeral and burial ceremonies in
dicated their belief in the immortality of
the soul. These ceremonies were of sim
ilar type every where. They laid their
dead, wrapped in skins, upon sticks in the
I bottom of a shallow pit, or placed them in
j a sitting posture, or occasionally folded
them in skins and laid them upon high
.scaffolds out of the reach of wild beasts,
under which the relatives wept and wailed.
Their arms, utensils, paints, and food were
I buried with them, to lie used on their long
! journey to the spirit-land, for they had an
I idea that they possessed a twofold nature
iof matter and spirit. In some regions they
! lighted a symbolic funeral pyre tor several
i nights upon the grave, that the soul might
I perceive and enjoy the respect paid to the
body. Every where th* y raise i mounds
over the graves, and planted them with
wild flowers; and among the Fionbans
the widows of warriors slain in battle cut

ter is the favorite with the public, and
they are usually gratified, especially on a
pleasant afternoon. Other horses have had
their brush and have been ledotl learning to
the shed. The piazzas ot all lm> hotels
that line the road are crowded with horse
men, arid the windows with lady friends.
Spectators with their teams draw upon the
side of the road to await the great event of
the day. During the meeting ot the two
conh'euees of the Methodist Episcopal
Churn iu New York last week, it was esti
mated tnai two-thirds of the clergymen
went out on Harlem to get a sight of Dex
ter and his famous owner. Bonner makes
his appearance at a slow pace, apparently
indifferent to the impression produced.—
He watches to see that the coast is clear.
By common consent, when Bonner appears
the road is cleared. A Dacotah Indian
might take lessons of Bonner iu his yells.
As Dexter starts on his course, bis driver '
can be beard hull a mile off'. The excited
throng shout, “That's Bonner,and all
come to their feet. The team rushes by
I with the fleetness of the wind, and is out of
• ght in an instant. There are some things
that cannot be described a panic in Wall
street, the inside of St. Peter’s, the j
harmony of an Italian organist, the color
ing of th" great masters in the Pilti Palace,
the trotting of Dexter. He moves ns no other
horse moves; he is the poetry of motion. !
He does not sprawl, throw his feet out, or
fling them around, but seems to slide out
of himself,giving the idea that any amount
of speed can be obtained. He is never ex
hausted, there is no exertion, there is a re
serve of speed that is peculiar. Go as fast
as he will, his hoofs can boas distinctly
| seen as when he is on a slow trot. Lorse
i men say that his speed has never been
known, and without controversy the palm
is awarded to him on all hands.
Avery exciting scene took place tho oth- \
er day. A gray horse appeared on the road i—
a stranger to every one. The speed of
the animal was marvelous. Where the |
horse cam-- from or to whom ho belonged ;
nobody seemed to know. The driver
watched for Bonner. After a sharp contest
he actually distanced Dexter. The thrill of
excitement was indescribable. Bonner
turned his horse into the shed and had him
blanketed. Wall street was scarcely ever
more excited than was the road that after
noon. in a short lime Dexter reappeared,
and here his pale antagonist was ready for
the contest. Bonner put up the top
of his wagon, which, as horsemen know,
makes a great difference in speed. The
white horse came tearing along at a mar
vellous gait. Bonner sprang to his feet
and gave a screech that might have been
heard in Westchester county. Dexter
beard and understood the signal, buckled
to his work, and left the white horse so far
behind that he was not to be mentioned the
same afternoon. Thunders of applause at
tended Bonner on the course, and us the
king of the road eame back th"re were
hundreds that would have crowned him
with laurels. The feat of that afternoon
induced horsemen to say that Dexter is
capable of anything.
Slory of a “Last Cliild.”
Perhaps there has never been an instance
where an entire city has taken such an in
terest, in the loss ot a three-year-old child
as Boston lias respecting Nellie Burns.
Three weeks ago, she was playing m the
street in tront of her father’s house. Whan
she had been absent about an hour, her
mother became anxious, and sent a mes
senger in search of her, who could obtain
no information whatever as to her disap
pearance. After a day or two of fruitless
research, Mr. Bums had band-bills printed
and posted, offering SIOO reward,which the
city authorities subsequently increased to
$(100. for her recovery. Information res
pecting children found by persons anxious
to receive the reward, involved Mr. Burns
in long journeys and researches which
added to bis anxieties without resulting in
anything ol importance. Letters were sent
to him urging him to send money foi "pos

I perform an essential service for my l oad
ers m describing a comparatively now appli
cation of an old principle, iu
THI KABTU CLOSET,
which is destined to supercede cess-ponls,
privy-sewers and water-closets, and work a
greater sanitary reform than has been
achieved for a century. Th" principle of the
earth-closet system is, that dry earth is the
best deodorizer and disinfectant of organic,
bocal and offensive matter, absorbing and
assimilating it. It has all the advantages of
the water-closet, without its evils, at far loss
cost. The Contents of water-closets and
privies infect the air, and are earned be
neath the ground into unr wells, poisoning
the very water wo typhoid
fever, dysentery, scarlet fever, ami cholera
infantum. One of the most distinguished
physicians says: "Dig cess-ponls and privy
vaults, and yon open graves for your children,
and each cess-pool will claim one victim, at
least, as often as once in ton years.”
THE EARTH CLOSET COMMODE.

Into any room, from collar to parrel, can bo
moved from room to room, or bo kept In a
bed-room, dressing room or closet, without
the least offensive odor. They can lie put in
as fixtures in t ho house, and no houses should
now lie built without them. They prevent all
foul and poisonous passes, and convert the
offensive smells and liquid wastes of privies
into inordoronsand valuable manure. To the
sick they are invaluable,if not indispensable,
preventing '.he depressing effect produced by
the water closet or the night chair. The
earth can bo used, after drving, repeatedly.
I have examined earth that lias been used in
a large commode for three months, having
been changed from the commode to a large
box, ami after drying, from the box to the
commode again, half a dozen times, and the
earth, thus used, was absolutely odorZe/nr
The material earth— is abundant, and
nord.i only to bo dried, pulverized and kept
under cover. These earth closets are al
ready in use in parks, factories, hotels, hos
pitals, insane asylums, rad-cars, depots,
workshops, and countless private residence <,
and where their merits are fully known, on
the score of health, convenience, comfort
and economy, must supersede water-closets
and privies altogether. The Riverside Com
pany, laying nut and building a suburban vil
lage virtually a part of this city have
adopted the Earth Closet system over an
area of thron square miles, dispensing with
privies and water-closets entirely, and with
sewerage, t xeepl for surface water, and the
result must he a greatly improved condition
of health. Those who wish further informa
tion in regard to the system,should call upon
or send for circular to Messrs. Waring, Fet

CHEMICAL FIUE ENGINES.
There was an exciting trial last Wednesday
afternoon between the engine of the United
Stales Chemical Fire Engine Company anda
sfcam fire engine of the Fire Department, to
see wl.i h could put out a fire the quickest.
Two buildings had been erect' and in the Lake
Talk, 30x50 feet, two stor es high, and divid

compartment was filled with tar barrels uad
shavings saturated with k“rosono. The
chemical engine played three streams thro’
a half-inch nozzle, and the steam engine
played one stream through an inch and a hall
nozzle, and threw twenty times as much wa
ter as the chemical engine did, and got the
fire under control about two minutes tfie
soonest. Hut the fire department began to
play over a minute first, and their buildings
got. fully on lire a minute latest, and they
played much the ne -t skillfully. And as the

When the line was surveyed, in 1832, tho
engineers determined to build the road
j diagonally across the river from tie point
where the Harper's Ferry bridgi now
stamls, running op ilyron s island over
whieh the right of way was seeimd tor a
| trifle and striking the Virginia shore
about two miles above, just at the north
point of the government properly. It
"'as soon discovered, however, that
it this plan was carried out, it w. uld
| be necessary to construct a heavy wait to
protect the road from fr, whets, the e ,t of
whieh would not be less than s2,(H'tl,t)ou,
Ihe plan was, theretove, abandoned, end
and the Company turned its attention to
the government prope-ty lying along (ho
river mid used for Armory purposes. C u
gross refused to grant to the Cos mo any the
right of way over this land, hut. in l s:!d,
the Secretary ot War gave them a sutler*
anec right to use a atrip of land. 30 feet
wide, adjacent to the river, and on this the
track wa laid. Sin e that lime the Com
pany lias grade all; encroached on the
Government property until it now
occupies all of the lan i within Gu feet of
the river, and it is claimed, injured (he
whole tract. During the session ot 1 sc.s 9,
Congress passed an act authorizing tho
Secretary ef Wat to diajmse of the property
at Harper’s Ferry at 'mlilie sale, and the
Railroad Company evidently intended to
purchase it 1 tut, when the sale closed,
Nov. 30,1809, to the surprise of those pres
ent, the hammer fell at 8178,000, and the
land was declared sold to tho agent of a
manufacturing company, w hich now pro
poses to eject tho Company, and take up
the track. The case will be pretty sure to
get into the courts.
