WEteTKB, N.CiprU 281885.
Dear Citizen f Yoir correspondent has
just returned!; from visit to- -Qualla
township in the lower nd of Jackson,
. and he is happy to say, well pleased with
the out look. ' Wheat is certainly much
injured or thinned by being frozen out,
but what is left looks well and an . occa-
aional field that stood the froet is excel
lent "Qualla is good fortwo-thirds of an
average cropof-wheat-'"'.
That part of Jackson was much ' injur
ed by the war-literall jr. eaten up and
appeared to recuperate so slowly as
" rather to "advance - backwards." But
' lately it seems coming to the front; I
- ' find 'lands cleared up fences rebuilt,
young orchards put out and in several
instances the traditional log house giv-
injr way to neat and commodious frame
buildings. ..Without disparagement to
others, your correspondent would men

fields, neat lnclonures, large new barn
and -beautifully graded site for the new
. bouse he is erecting bespeas nis enter
prise and taste. , M r. B. H. Cathey.' his
next door neighbor, Mrs. Miller, and
Mr. Vance Miller's places all show that
the Master is at home. Just below them
on the same creek the new house of Mr.
C A. Bird,, now nearing completion, will
. attract attention while his meadow green
with the tender spring grass, his luxuri
" ent clover,' and blooming young orchard
tell the news of-thrift. Mr. Bird also
shows the largest finest and bestcultiv

ing this guest walked in- the garden before
breakfast:';- He found the servants, grouped
together ' under a laburnum, tree. 7; They
seemed to be la - some excitement, and were
looking up into the tree, j lie ame near and
found they were gating- at Polly, who-was
perched upon a branch; out of reach... She
had escaped from her "cae. Pollyaw thf

'LET PS PRATl"
Site heard her. master eay that to the jao
plo every morning when they stood togethei
just before they kneeled to pray. She though
it was the proper time for the devout obser
vation. ' -: :- : - " ' ' v
... Baron "Cnvier," who studied birds an I
animals all hia life, decided that the parrot
cou'd not -reason, bat only repeated by note
what it had hoanh was certainly mistaken.
The parrot stories we give our boys and girle
in this column prove beyond a doubt that
Polly can follow oat a chain of thought anc
come to a conclusion that is satisfactory tc
herself, at any rate. . ";
Here is another anecdote quite as good: A
parrot- belonging to an English 'gentleman
was taken out of his room becaase it dis
turbed him while be was ilL The cage -wa -bang
in the kitchen- ' While there the thiev
ish bird -one day stole some raisins from a
pudding. The cook was very angry and
threw some hot grease upon Folly's head.
The parrot did not forget the punishment, at
was plainly shown by and by. Her mastei.
had been so sick that it . was necessary tc
shave his head. When he recovered bis pet
wa? taken back to his room. She looked at
his shaven head a moment in great astonish
ment, and appeared thinkicg. Then. sh
said slowly: -
"You bald-headed ruffian! Ton stole the
cook's raislns, . - ' . ..
The gray parrot is very intelligent. A
bird owner placed one of these alongside a
young Amazon parrot. The gray One taught,
the other to talk. If the pupil 'did not pro
nounce the words corractly the gray, wouIg
turn away contemptuously and exclaim:
"Blockhead T Nobody heed say. that biro
did not know what it was talking about. - v
Yet one more parrot story." A bird of the
gray species wai kept in a children's nursery.
She became fond of the little ones just as a
sensible human being would have done". Hex
'greatest delight was to see the pretty little
baby bathed. ' he showed very good taste
there, toe. - The child became sick, a t length,
and Polly was banished tj the kitchen, like
all unfortunate parrots whan- tbey are ia the
way. She watched everything- there with
her bright little eyes, and thought out Lei
wise bird thoughts ail to- herself. Que day
the family were startled by a terrible serein
from the parrot. They heard her cry: "Th
baby I ' The dear baby.!" In affright thet
nm to the kitchen. The parrot was watch
ing in the wildest excitement tha roasting cm
a young pig before the. fire. She thought
the pig waa the baby. ; ' . ;.- ; , .

other and similar instance It may be
that the excc.uess required in mechanical
work deve;ops a taste for close study, or
it may bo that natural 'history and pure
science become pleasant toils to the mon
otony of mechanical work; "but it Is "the
fact that some practical, day-working
mechanics stand high in some scientific
specialties. :; - . r -. -.V , '' i
There is a mocblnest a fine tool maker
who is we!l known, and Widely known,
as an amateur astronomer. f He has con-
tributed importantly to the science, and ia
not surpassed in nicety and preciseness in
designing astronomical mechanism, f "
Another is an expert steel ensrraverby !
cho'ce and as a pastime, and yet, incredi- I
ble as it may appear, he is - a smith ot
forger, handling steel and iron in bars and i
the heavy hammer of the blacksmith all
day, and doing delicate steel engraving at
night or on "oif hours. " " Ho has nearly
finished deaigniogand engraving a series '
ot plates representing the child su legend
of the Teath of Cock i obin, " the proofs
of which are really fine
One left the machine, shop three yea'r3
ago, and set up as an engraver on jewelry,'
plate, and similar articles. He originates
all his designs, and rarely makes a second
drawing, j :He is a wonderful producer .of
elegant and legible monograms. v A set of
six silver buttons for a vest, all uniformed
in general design and no two alike in par
ticulars, . is .'very artistic, and yet he
designed and engraved the six while the
customer waited perhaps an hour. ' These
two instances show that the bent of the
authors-was naturally artistic rather than
mechanical ' . v? - -

outside aid. . When the ; writer .was a
youngster, he lodged a piece of the sharp,
hammer hardened head of a cold chisel in
one eye.. . The "shop surgeon" applied a
powerful magnet without avail. Then he
cut out the obtrusive particle with a keen
penknife blade, making an incisioa just
as he might in a finger. A professional
surgeon who afterward examined the eye
said that it was a "very creditab.'c job. "
