Having heard a great deal of talk about the | roost near Mack Stafford’s house and the sport | the people were having in killings the birds, we visited Harrisburg the other night and struck ‘cut for the roost. Getting down into along | stretch of bottom land, something over a mile from the depot, the dull, flaming lights ahead | piloted us to the roost. As we neared thescene | of action we found that the roost was in an im- mense canebreak. A party of perhaps forty darkies, besides a lot of white people, were just | emerging with their sticks and torches and birds, the sport being about over for the night. The next afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Mr. Statiord | called us Into the yard and we witnessed a won- | derful sight. From all directions great flocks of rovins were flying across the heayens to the | roost, which was almost in plain view of the houses. For fully an hour one flock after an- | | other went by until the whole canebrake was | fairly alive with the feathefed tribe, and before |it was dark a large party set cut to make war upon them. ‘There were 68 men and boys in the crowd, each carrying a stick and atoreh ora lantern, The cancbrake is about a mile loaz and extends a considerable distance on either side ot | the creck. “It seems that each individual cane | was bent down with its load of birds. The re- porter, getting just inside the edge of the brake, struck at acluster of birds and the flutter of wings that ensved was deafening. From all sides hundreds of blinded and bewildered birds flew about, striking against each other and against the wind. All through the brake torches | gleamed, men shouted and the deadly stick was | going right and left, The birds never left the brake. but flew about in confusion, unable to es cape the weapons in the hands of the men, who | lied them tor about an hour with terrible effect. | n the excitement of the battle hardly anybody | stopped long enough to pick up all the slain birds, but ‘went over their routes when the sport was ended to gather their game. Our party went into tie brake at 7o’clock andat 8 all were counting over their birds that lay in piles at each one’s feet. The total number of robins killed by the party In one hour footed up 2110. Tae nightly battles on these birds have been constantly xoing an for fully three weeks. Emerson and Whipple. From the Boston Home Journal. In speaking of this friendship Mr. Underyvood | told mea very droll little incident connected with the two, which shows Mr. Whipple's keen sense of humor and Emergon’s lack of It. The philosopher and the essayist were driving together atong the Concord road engaged in animated conversation, or rather Mr. Emergon was talking and Mr. Whipple was listening, or offering suggestion now and then by a word of | question or differentiation. Mr. Emerson w: much more interested in talking than driving, and not at any time avery. skillful “whip;” he did not distingulsh Iilmsclf on this occasion ex by his absent-minded carelessness. The horse took the usual advantage of this, and jogged alone with lazy independence, little heed- ful of the sudden tightening of the reins and the sudden thwacks upon his back, when the driver now and then awoke to the fact that they were | | not proceeding as they should. All this was | rather laborious business, but it did not prove | much check to Emergon’s’ conversation—not go | ‘much Indeed as tils unskillful attempts to smoke, for in this convivial accomplishment the sage was as little proficient as in handling the reins.

The Ingenious Confession of a Modest Maiden. | From the Evansville Argus, Mr. Wilberforce, of Main street, is not a bad | man in his way, but he was sorely put out the other morning at breakfast." He had lent a neighbor most of his parlor chairs, and when he entered the room he found but one of these use- ful articles left. He immediately called his daughter and turn- ing angrily to her sald: “You entertained Augustus Smith for two hours last @vening in this room?” “I did, pa.” confessed the maiden witha blush. “And where did he sit?” “On that chair.” ‘And where did you sit?” “No prevarication. Where did you sit?” “I_oh, gracious! I—I sat on the coal hod, pa.” Mr. Wilberforce says he doubts the truth of the statement, but where could the poor girl | have sat? sood English From the New York Timee, Inaccuracy in the use of the English language is SO common, in spite of the earnest efforts of the Sun, that it is ordinarily a waste of time to rebuke it. When, however, our leading news- | papers are guilty of confounding the two pat- | ticples “ broken” and “ broke,” it 1s impossible to resist the impulse to reprove, instruct and exhort. There is a pleasing tale illustrative of western manners and customs concerning a Wisconsin | girl who attended a picnic and wandered some distance into the woods with the possible ex- pectation that some one would follow her. While she was seated on a log wondering if he zly Dear stole up be- hind her, and bracing his hind feet against the log, hugged her with all his might. Dreamily closing her the girl murmured :—*‘ Is that you, Charles? Clasp me closer, dear,” where- upon the humiliated bear went back to the for- est ‘all broke up. This story is frequently met in the colamns of the religious press, but some time ago an ingenious editor attempted to improve its gram- mar—as he thought—by changing “broke up" into “broken up;” and other editors have copied it with this emendation. Now, the two words “broke”—used in the phrase “all broke oF and “broken,” the participle of the verv® to break,” are entirely different in their origin and meaning, While “broken” is the participle of a verb derived from the Anglo-Saxon word “brecan,” “broke” exists only as_a participle, and is never found in any other form. It has no connection with the Anglo-Saxon ‘brecan.” but comes from the Morso-Gothie verb brexan, the primary meaning of which ts “to be without property, ce we have the expres- sion “to be dead broke,” or penniless. The dis- tinction between these two words, “broken” and “broke,” is very important. To confound them, as has been done in the case of the story ofthe Wisconsin girl, cannot but give pain to the lover of pure English, When we are told that the bear, finding that he could not squeeze a Wisconsin girl to her satisfaction, was ‘all broke up,” we know that he felt that life was worthless and that he was a disappointed and hopeless beast. When, on the other hand, we are told that he was “broken up” we feel that the phrase is meaningless, unless it is intended to convey the irrelevant falsehood that his legs and ribs were broken. The distinction between “broke” and “broken” is not wider than that between “carry-on” and “going-on,” and yet the latter are constantiy contounded. Only the other day in a case con- nected with a Methodist ‘‘churcli sociable, witness testifle on a good deal,” while another ‘goings-on were shamerul.” the ju wore that their either thecourt, y, nor the counsel appeared to have the idea ofthe wide distinction between ‘car- and'going-on.” The former is defined by Dr. Johnson as follows: “To carry-on—to ex- hibit hilarious mirthfulnes: ‘ually said of girl: Whereas, in Worcester’s Dictionary ‘‘zo- ings-on” is defined as “‘indiscreet conduct | on the part of two persons of different sexes.” | Now, nothing isclearer than that there might | be shamefal “goings-on” at a sociable where | there was not a particle of *carrying-on;” and, conversely, @ party of young girls might “carry” on” toany extent without the slightest approach to “goings-on” on the part of any one ofthe: To “carry-on” is often an innocent diversion; but persons who are guilty of “goings-on” are | wanting either in good sense or ina regard for | propriety. It can easily be seen that in the law case to which reference has been made the witnesses would not have testified recklessly to “earry- ings-on” and “goings-on” if they had known the broad distinction between the two words and the class of actions which they respectively represent. The court should, of course, have" called the attention of the witnesses and of the jury to the difference between “carry-on” and ‘scoing—on,” but the saddest feature of the whole | affair was that the court actually did not know that any distinction existed. ne clergy.

Whether the clergy will aid in this effort to promote piscatorial truth re- mains to be seen, and it is very certain that the sporting Methodist ministers, who never yo fish- jing without catching at least one ten-pound | trout, will denounce the invention as being | Wholly without Scriptural warrant. While the selt-registering fish-hook will un- doubtedly accomplish much good it cannot be denied that it is not all that could be desired. The fisherman, it is true, cannot lie about the welght of the fish brought home by him with- out detection, but what certainty can be felt | that the fish have been caught by the fisherman himself? The owner of a selt-registering fish- hook can buy forty pounds of trout froma smal boy; he can attach them one by one to the hook, and on his return can exhibit the fish and his self-registering hook and calmly claim that he causht the trout ‘up back of ‘Squire Hickox’ woods.” Ora fisherman having fairly caught forty pounds of cat-flsh may throw them away and substitute for them forty pounds of trout bought at the market. Wicked men can thus beat the self-registering fish-hook as thoroughly as wicked car conductors beat the beil-punch, and the only real service which it can render to morality will be to render it impossible for the dsheyman. 19 claim credit for thé “ifteen-pound trout whieh he hooked, but which got away from him,” ‘The truth is that fishing and morality can be reconciled only by the sternest laws. All fish- ermen should be compelled to have their fish weighed by a public officer, and any fisherman claiming to have caught a fish as to the weight of whicii he cannot show a certificate signed by the public weigher, should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and punished therefor. In.this way it will be possible to keep fishermen within the limits of truth, but no self-registering fish- hook or other ingenious device can be expected to change the hearts of habitual and hardened fishermen, Origin of the Ho en: ollerns. pril, The dynasty of the Holenzollerns in Prussia has a greater antiquity than. any other of the | chief reigning houses ot Europe, for, although | they did not. rece! | of Sigismond until the early part of the fifteenth | century, they have transmitted it, withoyt inter- | ruption and without dispute, during the whole subsequent period. How different within that time have been the fortunes of many other royal houses! In England the succession lias been so often changed by force and by law that the prin ciple of hereditary right is become a inere tradi tion of Tory jurists. ‘The quarrels of rival pre- | Herbert Tutttein Harper's Mugazine for 4 | tenders in Spain e wasted the splendid leg. acy of Ferdinand and Isabel The Bourbons | have twice acquired and twice lost the throne | or France. ‘The ancestors of the Romanoff had just become domiciled in Russia as subjects of the Tartar Czars, the Turks were still besleging Constantinople, ‘and the family of Hapsburg- Lorraine had not entered the peerage of Eu- rope, when Burggrave Frederic of Hohenzollern became Margrave and Elector of Branden- burg. * * * The family take their name from the heights of Zollern—Hohen-Zollern—the ancestral seat in the Suabian Alps; and they first appear in positive history about the time that the Em- peror Henry IV. was making his penitent pil- grimage to the papal court at Canossa. Be- yond this all Is con ects: But conjecture is free; and while the loyal and learned Dr. Cer- nitius, the first blographer of the race, connects his heroes with the noble Italian family of Co- Jonna, the elector Albert Achilles, more amn- bitious and less prudent, boldly placed his an- cestors among the fugitives who followed ineas from Troy. Asa myth, this is perhaps as good as any other; but the historian can trace the house back safely only about eight hundred years, or to the middle of the eleventh century. A hundred ‘years later the Count of Zollern became, by a fortunate marriage, Burg- grave of Nuremberg. The family thus reunited extensive possessions throughout Germany; and though not electors, the counts were grandees, and powertul grandees, of the Em- pire. What their own contemporaries thought of them Is fortunately not known—fortunately, because It leaves thelr panegyrists at Uberty to ascribe to them all manner of virtues—fidel- ity, moderation, courage, piety, even learning; while it 1s notorious that their neighbors were brawling and dissolute barons, robbing peas- ants and traders, flaying Jews, and transferring their feudal allegiance with politic fidelity from one pretender to another inthe Empire. But the remarkable virtues of this family were not long preserved under the control of a single head. The two sons of Frederic, frat Burggrave of Nuremberg, made a partition of their inherit- ance, one of them retaining Nuremberg and the burggraviate; the other, the older possessions in Suabia. It is from the first of these that the present royal family of Prussia is descended, the line being represented early in the fifteenth. century by Burggraye Frederick VI. fis see = A pardoned friend is more dangerous than an enemy. e their sceptre at the hands | honestly believe it saved my 1 A.
