Tbe moat beautiful of oar
bjrda ia the cardinal or ■Red
bird." Though sot as brilliantly
arrayed, lira. Cardinal ia very
smartly tamed oat in rich brown,
with just enough red to •relieve*
Alexander Wilaon, whose
quaint epitaph ao many have
read in Old Swedea'a church
yard, wrote In 1628; •This is
one of oar moat common cage
birds, and is very generally
known, not only In North Amer
ica, but even In Europe; nam
bers of them have been carried
over both to Prance and England,
in which last country they are
usually called Virginia nightin
gales.
Happily this traffic is a thing
of the past. Any bird ahonld
have his freedom in his haunts,
and sock a magnificent specimen
SB this cardinal grosbeak (be ia
a. member of the finch family)
ahonld be doubly protected be
cause of the temptation bis bean
tv offers
Though he ia found in all th*
Boatern State*, be is a Southern
bird. He like* Mi home, too,
and consider* migrating a bore.
He's i trifle smaller than the
tobin, aad, with the exception of
[** dab of btfllaut black around
Ma bill, be is glowingly, almost
£***Un»ly, ted. While James
Lane Allen gives him a poetic,
sympathetic tribute in "The
Kentucky Cardinal,- Neltje
BUnebaa ia inclined to think
that this-Virginia Redbird," of
reined, dignified aad courtly
bearing, is a haughty autocrat of
the -P. P. V.* type, better
calculated to calling out respect
and admiration than affection.
Perhaps be is a trifle spoiled.
No wooder.
He commences his melodious
singing in March, and early in
May Mrs. C. begins building
their bulky, loosely-made neat,
usually ia evergreen shrubs, like
laurel, and holly. She lays three
or four brown-speckled white
eggs, often two broods in a
Considering all bis temptation
it ia a great wonder be is not a
flirt, a bachelor or a divorcee. -
Not he.
He's as true as he is handsome.
His home is a pattern of do
mestic felicity, and even in win
ter, when without the responsi
bility of tittle birds, be a£d bin
ln£ky spouse are always seen to
gether.
In fact, he is so devoted and
fearful -of harm for Mn. Cardinal
that he often calls attention to
her and their home by the vent
he gives his excited fears.
His voice is loud and clear aad
hia song suggests • What cheer."
The moat curious port of it is
that bis other kali is herself an
excellent singer, a contralto,
whose notes are more admired
by some than bis wild, free,
flageolet-like tenor.
A bird to kc proud of and no
mistake.

There is a case of smallpox in

under the lead of Mr. 8. M.

Tu officers, however, con
tinued tbeir search and after a
while at a point near Clark's
Pork, about four miles from
Kings Mountain battleground,
they came apon a thoroughly
equipped distilling outfit, con
sisting of a sixty gallon copper
still, a first-clam copper worm,
several good stands and about
ooe thousand or twelve ban
died gallons of beer. Seeks
piled about indicated the recent
cobsnoption of thirty or forty
barbel* of meal. There eras no
body about the still at the time.
After a consultation the
officers decided to conceal them
selves and wait for develop
ments. The nearest place at
concealment was ia a clump of
woods several hundred yards
away, and to this they repaired.
Everything was quiet for some
two or three hoars, until shout
6:30 o'clock, when two men
were seen coming into view.
The officers remained under
cover nstil the men bad.gone to
the still and started a fire. Then
they came out from tbeir con
cealment and moved toward the
still; but it was no good. The
distillers saw them coming and
ran away as fast as their legs
could carry them. The officers
followed but they were no match
for the fleeing moonshiners, end
gave up the pursuit with a few
shots into the air. The distillers
could not be recognized. The
sdll was brought to Yorkville.
and shipped to Columbia.

used, we believe, in Johnson’s
"Ufe of Edmund Smith," allud

eclipsed the gayety of nations
and impoverished the public

It is frequently employed now
to indicate that this, that or the
