Bwallows and Wrens—How Birds Are Drawn to Destruction—Liberty's Fatal Torch—A Scien! Discovery, An ordinary-looking market basket, filled with 1i ss birds, was taken into the American museun of natural his- tory in Central park a few days ago. The birds were some of those which lost their lives while beating blindly in the glaring lightof Liberty's electric torch on Bedlow's island. Most of the birds were small; among them were half a dozen species of the swallow, innocent little wrens, the raven blackbird, with spots of crimson under its wings, and, largest of all, a specimen of the Caro- lina rail, which southern sportsmen love to hunt. be bruised, and Prof. J.

The knowledge was confirmed only a few yenrs ago, and by accident rof. Young, the astronome; o, wis mak- observatic one night from the Princeton observatory with a friend who is an ornithologist.

In the vieinity of New York the birds coming down from the wide area of the Hudson viver valley mingle with other flocks from the Con- icut viver valley. In past ages, go- ologists say, ‘the Hudson river ran for 100 miles below York bay, through a low country backed by the Highlands; the East ver was another channel through which another large stream empticd into the Hudson aftcr coming far through the New England state The line of this indentation is still d tinctly marked. The valley continues to be one of the great highways of the feathered millions, over which, for hundreds of centuries, they have been passing semi-annually. The statue of Liberty stands almost in_the line where these two streams of migration unite, and_her flaming toreh will always be a fatal beacon to thousands. Ir the spring the slaughter may 38, as the flocks of birds are less likely to converge until they have passed this point. How far this custom of traveling by night extends among the many specics of birds remains to be shown by further observation. The general fact, Mr. Allen remarked, is now accepted, and it may apply to all species, from the hawk to the humming bird. A series of ob- servations has been made for Mr. Allen by Frank A. Chapman during the pre- sent month. It was conducted from a private observatory in Tenafly, N. T, with a Gi-inch telescope. The instru- ment was directed over the Hudson river valley, following the moon as, she roso. By this means the birds were n s lhv\ actually began their flight. hose first recorded by the telescope were {lying upward at an angle, and it was only after in the night, as the moon reached a higher altitude, that the birds could be seen flying in a line parallel with th sarth, In the small area covered by the telescope comparatively few birds could be seen, but in one night's observation from 8 in the evening unt next morning 262 birds werve recorded and classified. These were gely v f swullows and w but also a number of Carolina rails, and one duck was noted, The flight of the birds, Mr. Chapman says, is invarvinbly two or three miles above the earth, and at times it is even at a higher altitude. Their course is above any local storms which may he in progress, and they retain the bénefit of the starlight or the moonlight on the broud landseape spread below, keeping in view at the same time the hills ~\un;z the valleys and the general course of the rviver in its winding route beneath them.

The history of Angelo Soliman is as follows: In the kowitz, one of th ar 1740 Prince Lob- prineipal generals in imperial Austrian army, happened, visiting the city of Messina, in v, to have his attention drawn to a old negro boy who w acting as page to one of the noble ladies of the place, The child was asserted to be the u!h'u'ingnf a native king and suid to have been kidnapped from his home and sold as_a slave at Cairo. By some means or other he had come into the hands of a sea captain, trading between Alexandria and Sicily, who had brought him to Messina and presented him to the lady in question. The latter had caused him to be baptized by the name of Angelo Soliman. = Prince Leb- kowitz took a great fancy to the boy, persuaded the ludy to let him have the child, and took him into his serv Augelo followed his new master ever; whcre, was present with him through out all the campaigns, and received a most carcful education. On the death of the gencral he entered the service of Prince Lichtenstein as tutor of the lat- or’s childs Angelo had become a remarkably learned man. He spoke perfectly s eral languages—Erench, Italian, € man, Latin and Czech. Although of small stature, he was wonderfully well built; his features, although as black as charconl, were of u Caucassion rather than of an Ethopian e beard and mustache ar His manners were di most exquisite courtesy. his flowing Oriental robesand new white turban, he was one if the most popular members of the hest Viennese society of the day. A noble widow, the baroness de Christiani, fell deeply in love with him, and in due time a marriage took place, For some reason or other Prince Lu-(-hl‘ustmn viewed the union with disfavor and quarreled with Angelo,who thereupon left his service. He was however, very comfortably off, for not only was his wife wealthy, but he | self had just a short time before won the principal prize of 20,000 florius in the Frankfort State lottery.

Winniog a Daguerreotype Boat—-Boss of the Greatest Gambling Den in Amertca—Politics and Prize Fighting Cause His Overthrow. The Cineinnati corvespondent of the Chieago Tribune says: The late Eph Holland, the famous gambler, who died the other day, was a remarkable man. Prior to 1880 he traveled up and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, along with Alexander and Devol. Those were the great days for steamboat gambling. Everybody curried large amounts of money. Cotton buyers were always on hand and rich planters who had sold their crops or secured large advances on them traveled on the river, and on all the boats gambling was n common, | every-day occurrence. Three-carded monte men thrived gaind prospered, whacked up with the fi‘u»lu-u,w.«. and supplied them with marked cards, and “'suckers were roped in" along with their boodle atevery trip. In thisschool Holland received his training and ac- quired his nerve, for he wasa nervy gamy man. There were scenes of dan- gerand some rough-and-tumble fights that resulted from these gambling bouts, Ouce while Holland was piaying poker on one of the lower ri boats at 2:30 o'clock in the morning a large, powerful man, clad only in a n|;:hl~s\|nl and with a large butcher knife in his hand, rushed out of his cabin and plunged the knife up to the hilt into the breasts of The blood flew all over the table, covering the cards and the money.

Then Mead gave orders not to count the money each night, and went to Wash- ington, where he had opened o house. Here was where Haltzheimer got in his work and stole quite a pile.

Strange Story of a Pretty Guest at a Fifth Avenue Mansion. A New York corvéspondent writes: Every little while the records of the police are emblazoned with some story about a beautiful and accomplished girl who is picked up in"the street, is well dressed, and to all appearances of good family, but will give no understandable account of herself. Such cases genewally turn out to be victims of opium or temporary insanity, or possibly freaks, who, as soon as they get over the effect of their momentary crankism, are taken awa by their friends, or go away by themselves, there being no law to hold them, as they do not come under those of the misde- meanor nor yet the vagrant acts But a singular case lately which puzzles eve cogniz- ant of it, in a lordly Fifth avenue man- sion not far above Forty-second street. About three months ago an exceed- llr:;zh beautiful girl presented herself at thi H Bhe was about eighteen, ver d ed, had dinmonds on h worth eral thousands of dolla and altogether evidenced high breeding and wealth, She sent up her name as How- ard and was shown into the parlor. When the mistress of the house, who was the wife of a well known bank me down, the young ludy, in a very straightforward way, told the lady.whom we shall call Smith, that her name was Mabel Howard:; that her motherhad been a schoolmate of Mrs. Smith’s, men- tioning the school, and an especiai chum, and had told her daughter before <he died, which was four yearsago, that if ever she ca to New York she must seek out Mrs. Smith and call upon her, All this on the part of Miss Howard so far was perfectly probable and coherent; but now when questioned she did not know what her mother's maiden name had been, and, stranger still, she could not tell the na s the place she came from, though she had only left it a few months before, n :ould she tell where she had been since then, though she knew she had only arrived in New York that day, and had ordered her trunk to some well known hotel, though of what name she could not remember. Mprs, Smith, seeing that the question- ing secmed to disturb Miss Howurd very 1d hearted woman, much, and, being a k censed it, thinking it was memory, perhaps, under th some trouble, and, nounced, invited Mis: off her bounet and partake. The invi- tation was accepted, and during lunch charmed the elder one fonal pow 'n to Europe, and resided with her father after her mother’s death. She could read and speak Gevman, Freneh and Ttalian but she could not_tell her fathers name, business or where he. was thens in_fact, was not certain whether he was alive or not. the young lad by hér conver in Pa During this conversation Mrs. Smith could not help noticing that her guest would oceasionally wander, not as though she was inventing her story as .h.- proceeded, but as if trying to recall a defective memory omebody says that you can never tell ‘ntleman until you see him at table. Smith found that applying this yule to her guest, she was certainly a high-bred woman. even if she had not been convineed of this before. After lunch was over returned to the parlor, and Miss of her hostess, sat dawn to the piano and v soon showed that she was an complished musician and had a love contralto voice., Then they talked further about Mrs. Smith’s school days, and the lady thoroughly convineed that, no 1 from whom she had reccived the in- formation, Miss Howard was aware of Mrs. Smith’s early life, though she could not recall the name of the school when it wuas mentioned, nor yetthe name of any of those who had been Mrs. Smith's carly associates, and who might have been her mother. As the afternoon wore on the young ady made a movement to go, but “her hostess insisted upon her staying until her husband came, which would be about 5 o'clock, The young lady checr- fully assented, and ‘when Mr. Smith came in he was introduced with a short explanation of her presence. Smith was charmed at a_glance, and almost forgot his dinner. When that was an- nounced why, of cou Miss Howard could not go aw nd after dinner she could be sent anywhere she desired in the ca But after dinner the young lady “seemed so content that the evening slipped away before any one knew it. She played, she sang, she talked ¥rench with Smith and Italian with his wife, and when told that it was too late for her to go to a strange hotel,and that she must stay there that night, after a moment’s thought she assented, and when the time arvived accompanied to her chamber by Mrs, Smith, who afterward reported to her husband that Miss Howard's underwear was of super- lative fineness and her diamonds worth at least $10,000, and that she had handed her a pocketbook with her money in to take care of. On examining this they were astonished to find that itcontained thirty-five $1,000 bills. but not a card or anything to lead to the identity of the young lady. That night Mr. and Mrs. Smith discussed what had better be done in the case, but the only conclus rived at was l]lul they would not 1 depart next day, or after if they prevent it, until they found out she came from and wha her friends were, The next{fday Mr.and Mrs. Smith were more charmed and interested in their guest than ever. Smith stayed at home all day to see if in conversation he could elicit anything that would be a clue as to her identity or where she came from, but tono avail, If adirect question was put to her she scemed pained and answered that she had for- gotten, When offored her money back she only laughed and said® she did not want it. . When Smith proposed to de- posit it in bank she carelessly assented, and he has done 50 in her name. Then they proposed thut she should make her home with them, rather than £0 to a hotel, and she accepted as though it was o matter of course. Mrs. Smith had no children and no family residing with b All \]n:~ was three months ago, and Miss Howard remains still with the Smiths. They have tried ever means within their power to find out who she is without success. She has proved sueh an addition to their happiness that they have long since ed to talk to her onthesubject,as they find itonly troubles her and causes wandering of *tlie mind, which comes at no other time. They will not hear, nor will she, of putting the case in the hands of the police, and especially do they dread reporters, who having got, somehew, an inkling o! the story, are anxiousto get more, butare res ulsed at every turn, Miss Howard's aggage has never been found, though every. exertion has been made, and there is no doubl that she had it, so that an entire new wardrobe has n bought for her, It is believed by Mr. and Mrs. Smith that Howard is not her true name, but whenever she is approached on that subject she bursts into a violent flood of tears and seems much distressed. At all other times she is exceptionally happy and amicable, So far the mystery is just as much a mystery us it was on the first of her com- ing.
