A negro boy was going along the street, whistling a weil known Ethiopian melody, and when he paused, a mocking bird, confined inacage near by, as if emulous to surpass his sable rival, burst forth with the same tune, and whistled it with the finest taste and execution, throwing in, besides, little operatic quavers and trills with admirable effect. It was certainly the most brilliant musical performance in the whistling line we have ever heard, and the tones were an exact imitation of those of the human ani- mal. At the conclusion of the air, the bird whistled up the dogs, cackled like a hen, cawed like a crow, &c., and when we puckered up our poor blower, and ran up and down the gamut, the rara avis quite made us ashamed vf ourselves by the clearness and precision with which it improved upon the humble copy we had “‘set."— Mobile Advertiser.
